"ah!!!."

Amidst the tragic wails, sparks of failure burst out all over Zhou Hannian's body. The energy core let out an unprecedented roar, but it was only the last sound before it was damaged.

Su Mo took advantage of the situation and thrust his hand into Zhou Hannian's heart, directly pulled out the energy core and crushed it on the spot.

The energy supply disappeared, all of Zhou Hannian’s prostheses became ineffective, and coupled with his serious injuries, he fell to the ground with a bang.

He was twitching on the ground like a dead fish, his dull eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Su Mo with his last bit of strength.

Until his death, he had no idea how he lost.

He clearly judged that Su Mo could not withstand his full-strength attack, so why didn't he die in the end?

Why did Su Mo's Scarlet Rose Blood Code suddenly have such a huge jump in level?

Only Su Mo himself knows the answer to all this.

The sudden upgrade of Scarlet Rose's blood code has nothing to do with itself.

The one that works is the earliest and most special blood code that Su Mo obtained, the "Ancestral Blood Code", which is the pass-through item in "Dawn".

The Ancestral Blood Code has many ability branches, such as the most basic devouring, which can hunt down other people's blood codes for its own use.

Another example is the later advanced "homomorphic devouring", which can transform the blood codes it already possesses into nutrients when hunting them, thereby upgrading the class of the existing blood codes.

The ancestral blood code ability that Sumer just demonstrated is called "autophagy", which is newly developed in the future by adjusting the blood code gene sequence.

The effect of "autophagy" is very similar to "homomorphic engulfment", both of which engulf blood codes as nutrients to nourish the blood code upgrades, but the target is not the enemy, but oneself.

The autophagy ability allows Sumer to use a certain blood code as a base to devour his other blood codes.

The level of the devoured blood code will be lowered, but the nutrients obtained in this process can allow the basic blood code to be upgraded.

Su Mo previously had five blood codes in his body, namely, Scarlet Rose, Crazy Skeleton, Python Poison, Dragon Flame, and Illusion Shackles. Their levels ranged from critical to super-limit levels, and each blood code was not particularly strong when taken alone.

But through the ability of autophagy, Su Mo suppressed the four major blood codes of Crazy Skeleton, Python Poison, Dragon Flame, and Illusion Shackles to the lowest "Awakening Level", and provided a special upgrade for the Scarlet Rose blood code, which directly made it soar to the fifth level of "Burning Blood Level".

From the very beginning, the so-called "injury for injury" was a trap set by Su Mo for Zhou Hannian.

Zhou Hannian's judgment was actually correct. Considering Su Mo's previous Scarlet Rose Blood Code level, exchanging injuries for injuries was simply courting death.

But this judgment itself was Sumer's deliberate misleading of him.

Zhou Hannian could never have expected the trump card of the ancestor's blood code.

At the last moment of the attack, Su Mo used "autophagy" to forcibly raise the Scarlet Rose's blood code level, causing his own "death line" to skyrocket. He managed to withstand the blow that could have killed him and completed the final Jedi counterattack.

Su Mo walked to Zhou Hannian's remains, looked down at him and said, "I'm sorry, senior, I don't really want to kill you. You are also a poor man bound by fate."

"But we are in different positions. Now it's a matter of life and death. If the victory and defeat were reversed today, I'm sure you would have killed me decisively."

"Have a safe journey, King of Mercenaries."

After saying this, Su Mo stabbed the Yueyin arm blade into Zhou Hannian's forehead.

Zhou Hannian's broken body trembled irregularly, his eyes revealed a strong unwillingness, and he stretched his hands towards the sky as if trying to grab something.

There was a bird flying by. It soared freely in the sky, light and agile. No matter how the humans on the ground fought, it had nothing to do with it.

The birds drew graceful arcs in the air, sometimes climbing, sometimes diving, shuttling through the sun's light curtain, as if performing a passionate dance of life.

Compared with the powerful extraordinary humans, it is just an insignificant little life.

But how freeing it is.

Zhou Hannian's hands fell limply to the ground, and as his pupils dilated completely, he became completely motionless.

The free bird flew farther and farther and disappeared among the distant mountains.

The mercenary king who was bound in the cage finally got freed.

After the battle, Nuobai came back with Dongdong.

Dongdong's body was still as strong as ever. He was beaten so badly, but after resting for a while, he was not only fine, but he didn't even need anyone to carry him anymore and could walk.

The three of them came to the place where the airship had made an emergency landing. Su Mo broke through the layers of bones that protected it, looked inside the cabin, and then let out a long breath.

The battle just now was extremely fierce, and Su Mo was worried about whether it would cause damage to the Mingquan device.

Fortunately, the battlefield was some distance away from the airship, and the bone barrier set up by Sumer was very thick, so Fenrir was not affected at all and was still sleeping quietly in the Nether Spring.

Su Mo looked towards the eastern sky, which was the direction of the Tianmen Patrol Station.

"Let's go. We've wasted a lot of time. Xibel must be waiting anxiously."

On April 4, the 12th day after the Shangting special team entered Crescent City, a shocking news came.

Just now, the Tianmen Patrol Station, which had fallen during the ferocious beast crisis, was attacked again.

According to the news sent back by the garrison, the attackers were a group of wolf raiders led by "Wolf King" Fenrir and "Red Wolf" Sibel.

This news shocked the World Government, especially the Upper Court Guard stationed in Crescent City.

The entire city was clearly under control, all suspicious persons who had ulterior motives towards the authorities were detained, and Crescent City was surrounded like an iron barrel.

How did Fenrir escape from such a tight net? !

And the intelligence said that Fenrir led the attack on the Tianmen Patrol Station, which means that she has recovered her combat capability. How did she do that?!

There is no point in asking why now, because the World Government is facing a terrible situation - Fenrir is about to defect to No Man's Land.

It is not scary if ordinary extraordinary people defect to the no-man's land. It has happened many times in the past. Anyway, small fish and shrimps cannot cause any waves. The worst thing that can happen is that they cannot be caught, and from then on both sides will live their own lives.

A carrier of a divinely blessed blood code is not scary either, because before any extraordinary strong person grows to this level, giant companies will provide them with the ultimate insurance to ensure that they work for them and can quickly eliminate them if they show disloyalty.

But it is an extremely dangerous thing for a super powerful person who does not have the ultimate insurance and whose blood code reaches the divine level to defect to the no-man's land.

There is no ultimate insurance, which means that the means to wipe it out when it is not necessary are completely out of control.

Moreover, his blood code has reached the Divine Blessing level. At Fenrir's young age, it is probably only a matter of time before he is promoted to the highest level, the "Black King Level".

When that time really comes, it will not be a question of whether to kill or not, but the other party will have the capital to turn the table over.

The capital was too far away from the Tianmen Patrol Station and was out of reach, so the Upper Court Council issued more than a dozen urgent orders to Luo, asking her to deal with it quickly.

Luo also accepted the order at the first opportunity, and selected thousands of the top elite troops from the Upper Court Guard of Crescent City, and personally led them to the Tianmen Patrol Station to intercept and kill Fenrir.

After Luo left, the troops remaining in Crescent City were leaderless and in great chaos. No one knew what to do and could only wait anxiously for news.

During this turbulent time, Qi Ling and Zhao Yiming met alone in a hidden corner of the city where no one cared.

Previously, Qi Ling hacked into the electronic system of the Tower of Babel and not only intercepted Zhao Yiming's denunciation, but also erased all the evidence sent back by Zhou Hannian from his device.

Of course Zhao Yiming has ways to continue to inform on others, such as telling the news to any subordinate and letting him tell other people. In the end, the news will keep coming and will eventually find its way to the headquarters.

But it was useless because the evidence was gone.

Zhao Yiming is a criminal, and in the eyes of the headquarters he is just a half-abandoned pawn who can be used for now and thrown away if he doesn't work out.

Luo is a special envoy with great power. No matter what methods she used to hide herself before, the headquarters trusts her.

He is a criminal, so how could he sue the imperial envoy?

No evidence yet?

What a daydream.

What's more, Qi Ling controlled the assassination robot and put the gun against his forehead, not even giving him a chance to complain.

However, Zhao Yiming knew that he was not impossible to turn the situation around.

He is a chess player who is good at planning and strategizing, and the chess piece that could lead to a comeback had been planted long ago.

In an empty alley, Zhao Yiming was leaning against his car, smoking a cigar.

According to the agreement, Zhao Yiming did not bring any guards and Qi Ling did not bring any companions. The two sides met and talked directly.

Qi Ling was wearing a thin grey sweater and plain flat shoes under her long skirt. It was very different from her previous youthful and pretty look. Her beauty had a more mature and intellectual charm.

Seeing Qi Ling like this, Zhao Yiming smiled briefly and joked, "Being a mother is different. Even the way you dress has changed."

Qi Ling said coldly: "You asked me to come here just to talk nonsense?"

Zhao Yiming shrugged and said slowly: "First of all, I admit that I was negligent. I was watching Luo, but I didn't expect you to be watching me too. What a mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind."

"But this little yellow bird didn't see that there was another trick behind it - do you know what I did to you when I took eight hours from you that time?"

Qi Ling answered directly: "He used the Ring of Secrets on me and peeped into the three memories that left the deepest impression on me."

Zhao Yiming's eyes showed admiration, and he said in an excited tone: "Su Mo is amazing. Not only did he cure the poison of the Silent One in you, but he also knows so much about the Secret Peering Ring, a highly confidential device within the company."

"Then guess what I saw in the Secret Ring?"

Qi Ling didn't say anything, obviously unable to answer.

The Ring of Peeping acts on the deep subconscious. A person can clearly express some of his or her thoughts, but cannot say what is in his or her subconscious. If he or she can say it, it is no longer subconscious.

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Yiming's face: "Qi Ling, I saw your encounter with Su Mo. I admit that he treated you very well, and I also felt your inner fluctuations at that time."

"But don't you think it's a little childish to commit yourself to him because of those things? Warmth~ redemption~ love~ God, even middle school students don't buy into that these days. I really can't imagine how someone as strong as you can be moved by these things."

Qi Ling said nothing, but pulled out a gun from his arms and pointed it at Zhao Yiming, with a cold and murderous light hidden in his amber eyes.

Zhao Yiming didn't seem nervous at all, still smiling, and even raised his hands cooperatively: "Okay, I won't interfere in your private affairs."

"But now, you probably have to think about a question: who do you love more, Su Mo, whom you have only known for less than half a year?"

He paused deliberately here to arouse Qi Ling's anxiety.

Then a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully: "Or do you love Xiaoqi more, who accompanied you throughout your childhood?"

Qi Ling frowned, not understanding what Zhao Yiming meant by asking this question.

Not to mention that she didn't have an answer in her mind, even if she forced a ranking, what did it have to do with Zhao Yiming?

Xiaoqi died a long time ago. What's the point of bringing up a dead person?

Zhao Yiming seemed to see through Qi Ling's heart. He walked to the back of the car, put his hand on the handlebars, and said in a melodious voice: "In the Ring of Secrets, I also saw your childhood."

"Zero, you are a bullied monster. You should have stank and rotted in a place like the Garden of Eden, alone until you die."

"But because of the appearance of that girl, Xiaoqi, that angelic girl used her life to build a bridge to freedom for you, allowing you to escape from the Garden of Eden, and finally you are who you are today."

"Knock." The back door was opened.

The sly smile on Zhao Yiming's face was also extremely strong: "After so many years, I'm sure the one you can't forget the most is this childhood friend. She is a regret that you can never make up for."

"But today, I will return this old friend to you."

A figure walked out from the trunk of the car. When Qi Ling saw her, her pupils suddenly became unfocused and dilated, and even her breathing stagnated.

She was a beautiful girl, about the same age as Qi Ling, with a pair of jewel-like eyes.

Memories that have been buried for years come flooding back.

When Qi Ling stared at the girl blankly, the girl also stared at her absentmindedly, tears unconsciously filling her eyes. She trembled in disbelief and said, "Little monster?"

Time seemed to stop at this moment. Xiaoqi's breathing became rapid and her eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she saw. She stood there and leaned forward slightly, as if trying to make sure that her eyes were not deceiving her.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I confirmed that everything was real, uncontrollable emotions surged in my heart. Xiaoqi stumbled towards Qiling and hugged her tightly.

"Zero Little Monster is it really you?!"

Xiaoqi stretched out her trembling fingers and wanted to touch Qi Ling's face, but she shrank back in mid-air, as if she was afraid that she was touching an illusion.

And when she finally touched Qi Ling's cheek, she felt a warm and real touch on her fingertips. Her tears finally burst out, slid down her cheeks, and a bright smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth.

"Little monster, how come you have grown so big?"

"I still remember when we were in the Garden of Eden, you were so tall, skinny, and had no flesh on your face. Now you are so beautiful. Really beautiful."

Xiaoqi was in tears and hugged Qiling tightly, feeling her heartbeat and the warmth of her body. Her small hands gently stroked her back, as if to comfort her and also as if to confirm the reality of this long-awaited reunion.

Then he grasped her clothes tightly, as if he was afraid that everything would disappear if he let go.

After many years, the two girls who had experienced hardships together in the Garden of Eden reunited with each other.
