San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 150 Earth Wasteland Arc (16)
A little over ten minutes later, the four of them had reached the border between the fourth and third districts. This place was markedly different from the previous areas; a towering and thick metal wall separated the two districts, with guards stationed at each entrance in the wall. The guards' weapons were the same anti-gravity catapults as the patrols', but the shields they used were different. The patrols only had ordinary metal shields, but the guards used anti-gravity shields.
[Name: Anti-Gravity Shield]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Fine]
[Defense: Medium]
[Attribute: Cushioning]
[Special Effect: None]
[Equipment Requirements: Fighting Specialization F, Level 10]
[Remarks: This armor can stop flying objects smaller than one cubic meter and with a force of less than 25 kilograms in mid-air, such as flying baseballs, falling suitcases, and so on. But if someone picks up a freezer and throws it at you, or directly launches a melee attack, then the defense capability of this shield is no different from that of an ordinary metal shield.]
"Alright, Miss Molly, you can leave now." When they were only a street away from the wall, Feng Bujue suddenly stopped and said, "For your safety, it's better for you to stay away from here."
Although Molly stopped, she still didn't give up and still wanted to persuade Hank to turn back, "Hank, think carefully. What he said… Darwin, evolution… freedom… it's all unheard-of madness. Maybe it's just the evil doctrine that those heretics believe in. You've been deceived by them…"
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Molly." Hank replied, "If I don't return, please tell my mother that I'm sorry."
Molly was stunned in place, watching Hank turn and leave, speechless. The other three didn't communicate with her anymore. They strode towards the entrance checkpoint of the wall. As they walked, Feng Bujue and Kuangzong Jianying tore off the protective suits they were wearing and threw them away.
Kuangzong Jianying took out the anti-gravity catapult he had seized from Hank and returned it to him, "We will try our best to cover you, but it's safer if you have a weapon."
"Don't be nervous, Hank." Feng Bujue said, "These guards who have nothing to do all year round except stand guard, their actual combat level is not at the same level as a scavenger like you who fights mutant creatures all day long. As long as you don't flinch psychologically, there's nothing to be afraid of." He paused and added, "Once we rush through the wall, we'll go straight to the temple. You have to keep up."
Hank nodded, "I'll try."
As the three were talking, they were already standing side by side in front of the checkpoint.
The guards on duty were already shocked, and they didn't react for a long time when they saw Feng Bujue and Kuangzong Jianying's appearance. They were guessing in their hearts… these two might be the legendary "outsiders," but since they had never seen them in their lives, they had only heard a lot of brainwashing propaganda about them, so when they actually saw them, they were a little at a loss.
And the man next to these two uninvited guests, although his clothing showed that he was from the first district of the same village, he was holding a catapult in his hand, and his face had a determined expression… could it be that this guy wanted to use force to break into the priests' residence?
The guards were dumbfounded. The head guard was more composed. He didn't care what was going on, raised his anti-gravity shield, and blocked the three in front, shouting in as intimidating a voice as possible, "Stop! What are you doing?" He glared at Feng Bujue and Kuangzong Jianying, "You two… why are you wearing these strange clothes? Who are you?" He then turned his gaze to Hank, "And you, what do you want to do with your weapon?"
The three of them didn't speak, they were just silent.
After a few seconds, Hank actually laughed, "If it were yesterday, even if I hadn't done anything, as long as a patrol stopped me and questioned me, I would have trembled with nervousness." He shook his head with a smile, "But now, facing a head guard, I don't feel anything. Hehe… I'm starting to understand… so this is what Kouben has done to us."
"You actually call the Son of God by his name?" The head guard looked at Hank in astonishment.
"If I still regarded him as the Son of God, I naturally wouldn't dare to call him by his name casually." Hank said, "But if I regard him as a piece of shit, I can call him whatever I want."
"What did you say! You blasphemer!" The head guard roared, "Arrest him!"
The surrounding seven or eight guards obeyed and swarmed forward.
At this moment, Kuangzong Jianying made his move.
In almost ten seconds, accompanied by the sounds of fists hitting flesh and a few muffled groans, all of these guards were knocked down, either knocked unconscious or groaning on the ground, unable to get up.
Kuangzong Jianying didn't even use his sword. First, he didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Second, with his skills, it was enough to deal with these people with his bare hands.
"Oh… you're really powerful, you can do this without using skills…" Feng Bujue said.
"They're too weak." Kuangzong Jianying replied, "Their physical fitness and reaction are even worse than ordinary people. From a game perspective, they're equivalent to being 30% weaker than a level 1 player. And I'm a level 17 professional player, this level of fighting is not worth praising." Anyway, Hank and the head guard couldn't understand these words, so the two players didn't have any scruples when they talked.
At this moment, the head guard was so frightened that he couldn't move. From his point of view, the feeling at this moment was as shocking and powerless as encountering an alien invasion.
In fact, these guards usually don't have much to do. In a small and sparsely populated society like Shenyou Village with strict laws, there are very few criminals, and there haven't been many people who dare to subvert the rule of the upper class in hundreds of years.
Moreover, the patrols are basically in charge of security, and the guards are only responsible for guarding the houses of the priests and the Kouben family. It can be said that the guards' actual combat experience is almost zero. They haven't even encountered civilians who dare to spit anywhere near the wall, but today they suddenly encountered three people who came to break through the barrier and beat them to the ground in ten seconds. It's normal for the head guard to have this reaction.
"Throw away the catapult." Feng Bujue walked up to the head guard and said.
The head guard swallowed and wisely chose to comply. He gently tossed the catapult in his hand to the side.
Feng Bujue looked at the head guard's pale face and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Why so serious? Smile."
Facing the ominous star in front of him, the head guard forced out a smile that was worse than crying.
The three of them calmly continued forward, brushed past the head guard, passed through the checkpoint, and walked towards the fourth district on the other side of the wall.
The head guard stood there blankly. After dozens of seconds, he knelt on the ground and breathed rapidly, as if he had asthma. Many residents soon gathered on the streets of the third district, discussing the matter. Even though several eyewitnesses had witnessed what had happened, they didn't understand what was going on at all.
Two minutes later, the head guard woke up from his dream and jumped up, shouting in panic, "Outsiders! Outsiders have invaded!"
