Chapter One: The Beginning Unfolds

  Hiss! Hiss!

  Just as the two younger brothers next to 'Huang Ge' were about to turn their guns around and pull the trigger, a short, sharp sound pierced the air. Two 8mm steel balls shot out of Liang Jing's left hand like lightning, hitting the right wrists of the two younger brothers with a loud "crack".

  "Ah!——""Ah! Painful ah——"

  The two little brothers were in an extremely excited state, when a sudden and severe pain made them unable to hold the rifles in their hands, let alone shoot at Liang Jing, they clutched their right hands and let out loud cries.

  "You, you guys, how dare you lay hands on us! Don't you want to live anymore? We are under Tou Gongzi's command, do you know who he is? He is..."'Huang Ge' finally realized something was off at this point. Looking around, he saw that Liang Jing and the others all had fierce expressions, gripping short knives in their hands. He also noticed that they had bulges at their waists, which were definitely firearms! It seemed like he only now noticed Jia Yujin wearing a suit of steel armor and Liang Jing wearing an ugly mask with a huge weapon on his back. The group stood there silently, exuding a murderous aura that made 'Huang Ge's pupils shrink violently. These people were all ruthless killers who didn't bat an eye when taking lives!

  Seeing the opponent's strong and powerful appearance, 'Huang Ge' tried to calm himself down, looking at his four subordinates who were all injured and lost their combat effectiveness. He knew that confronting the opponent head-on was not a solution now, perhaps the opponent didn't even know about the powerful backing he had. Habitually introducing himself as someone backed by Lord Tu, he mentioned the consequences of resisting Lord Tu, just to scare the opponent off. After all, in the migrant group, who wouldn't be intimidated upon hearing the name 'Lord Tu'?

  Liang Jing was delighted to hear about the other party's secrets, and when he heard that the so-called Tu Gongzi had done so many vicious things, with cruel and ruthless means, a vengeful personality, it was simply an extremely extreme madman, even Liang Jing, who considered himself a butcher and a killing god, took a deep breath, and compared to this, he was still too kind and soft, his eyes narrowing.

  "Haha! —— Aren't you scared now? Do you know what it means to be unable to live and unable to die?" 'Huang Ge' seemed to see that everyone around Liang Jing took a deep breath, thinking they were afraid, and spoke even more loudly and recklessly.

  "Alas! — You've actually been living so comfortably under the rule of such a pervert, that there must be no shortage of blood on your hands. In that case, killing you would be guilt-free." Liang Jing was not afraid of anything anymore, even if he was afraid, with the opponent's personality and actions, he would definitely face this ruthless revenge. Looking at 'Huang Ge' who was still being arrogant and self-satisfied, Liang Jing shook his head repeatedly in his heart, thinking that his IQ was really low, even as an Awakened one, he was just a minor character with a doomed fate, and didn't even know about the concept of silencing people by killing them.

  Turning back to look in Lao Jia's direction, the two of them nodded in unison, no need for verbal communication, already knowing each other's awakening. Liang Jing said: "The opponent is an Awakened one, looking at it this way, his ability is in physical enhancement, and his defensive capabilities are not weak."

  "Let me go, it's been so long since I woke up and still haven't had a good fight with anyone." Jia Yugui's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that the opponent's innate ability was physical enhancement, eager to try it out, clearly having found a good target, and was getting excited.

  "Uh, I'll hold back for you, okay? Try not to kill him if possible." In response to Old Jia's request, Liang Jing did not immediately agree, but instead held two huge steel beads in his hand, ready to strike at any moment, both to prevent accidents and to seize "experience".

  Buzz!――

  Lao Jia didn't say much, knowing that his brother was afraid of something happening to him, so he took precautions. He placed his hands on his waist with his fists clenched, activating the Tianfu Wen's attachment to his body. His internal energy consumption decreased by nearly half, and a humming sound came from within his body. His entire body flashed with golden light, becoming much stronger and more robust, as if transformed into hard, cold steel. A faint metallic glow emanated from his whole body.

  Adamantization, enhances the body's hardness and strength.

  Pom!——

  Jia Yu Jin's feet suddenly stomped out, making a huge noise as they touched the ground. His entire body was like an iron giant beast rapidly rushing towards "Huang Ge", who was still yelling loudly; Jia Yu Jin had become the boss in prison through his own efforts, relying on his constant training to strengthen his physical strength, and his abilities were already very strong before he awakened, even stronger than Liang Jing before the apocalypse. Now that he had awakened, his body had increased significantly, and the hidden injuries from his previous intense training had healed a lot. The faint ability within him could still slowly nourish his body, strengthening it, although the effect was not yet apparent due to the short time frame. He was wearing a metal armor transformed from his own body, weighing over 100 kilograms, which seemed to have no impact on his agility and speed.

  Jia Yu Jin suddenly threw a straight punch at this awakened person in his eyes, with a faint metallic luster, the fist was in the middle of the temple, looking extremely overbearing and barbaric, if this were a martial arts competition, it would be the most bullying and disdainful.

  Ah!

  'Huang Ge' obviously didn't expect the other party's reaction to his words would be like this, completely opposite of what he had imagined, and his heart let out a startled cry; fortunately, he wasn't truly an idiot, and his earlier actions were just subconscious behavior based on his pre-transformation knowledge and thoughts, as well as habitual behavior from working under Tu Gongzi for some time. After reacting, 'Huang Ge's' instincts kicked in and he raised both hands to block the other party's fist, while also mentally activating his innate special abilities.

  He was very confident in his own innate abilities, at least thinking that it would be difficult for anyone to take his life. His innate ability was of the physical type, but it was a bit rare and unusual, only increasing the defensive capabilities of his skin layer. After using it, there would be a thick brown keratinized layer on the surface of his body, making it very difficult for ordinary rifles to harm him unless they were fired continuously at the same spot. This also made him very safe to use, which was why Master Gou let him go hunting, because while others might have stronger attacking abilities, if they couldn't protect themselves from the mutated monsters that could appear at any time in the wild, then their attacking abilities wouldn't be of much use.

  Ah! ——

  "Ah! ——"

  However, by the time he reacted, it was already a step too late. One step slow, one step slower, hastily responding to the attack, Huang Ge's innate ability had not yet been fully unleashed. Jia Yu Jin's iron fist with a metallic sheen had already arrived, and all that could be heard was the sound of bones cracking. Huang Ge let out an instinctive cry of pain, but his body was very agile, using Jia Yu Jin's attacking force to continuously retreat many steps, borrowing this distance to complete his innate ability.

  His entire body was as strong as Jia Yukin, with a thick layer of brown keratin all over his body. He felt the pain in his arm and glared at Jia Yukin fiercely.

  Alas!——

  Jia Yujin, however, didn't care about anything else. His body didn't pause for a moment as he gazed at his opponent and continued to retreat with his attacking momentum, trying to delay the time. His footsteps became more urgent, his fists carrying a whirring wind sound, solid and hard like an iron pillar, striking towards Huang Ge.

  "Looking for death!"

  Watching the opponent who had been chasing him relentlessly and ambushing him, causing himself to get hurt, launch a close-range attack on him, he felt an unprecedented sense of ferocity. Since awakening his extraordinary abilities, although he was just an ordinary person before, relying on this powerful defensive ability, others could hardly get the better of him in close combat. In his mind, with my strong defense, you can't even touch me, and if I'm hurt, it's only because I let you. The rest is just being beaten down by my wild punches; thinking to himself, Huang Ge let out a loud roar, his face twisted in a fierce expression, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust. Come on, come on, let me show you what a tank is, what it means to be powerless.

  Huang Ge also took a step forward, his entire body incredibly strong as he faced off against the equally powerful Jia Yu Jin. He didn't have any defense against Jia's attacks at all, and was simply fighting with a reckless abandon, punching wildly at Jia.

  Jia Yu-jin saw the opponent like this, and he was also excited in his heart. He had long wanted to try out his own abilities after becoming a Diamond Body. He also liked this kind of fist-to-flesh combat, which was the most direct, most real, and most sensational...
