Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Chapter 154: Someone Familiar

Chapter 154: Someone Familiar

Once the spiritual cultivators had departed, many of the martial artists ran out to find that man but he was nowhere to be seen. All of them went back, dejected, while Second Uncle Wu solemnly told Wu Rui, Do you understand the cruelty of the battlefield? This is how it is. He made his choice, and now we must kill more beasts for his noble sacrifice!

Wu Rui nodded as he clenched his fist. He felt his death had arrived when he saw the tsunami of Savage Sand Rats approaching him. Would I be able to run back to the fortress in time with my speed?

The answer was that he wouldnt, not with the other beasts intercepting him.

He slowly walked back into the fortress.

Back in the control room, Li Kaihao focused on the screen, trying to identify the man. Who was that? Did we have such a strong spiritual cultivator here in Fortress Three?

Reporting to the Colonel! We checked and couldnt find anyone like that in our database. It seems that he just appeared out of thin air. Additionally, we calculated that the blast from the rail cannon would not harm him. That means that hes still alive, it's just that we dont know what he did that allowed him to slip back into the fortress, his assistant replied.

Colonel Li knitted his brows. Do we not have any method to find him?

His assistant shook his head. He had already checked everything and used every single method, including vetting every single person that had entered that day. No one was capable of doing the same thing as that mysterious man.

Hm, so far it doesnt seem that he had any bad intentions. Dont let this information slip out and silently observe, Colonel Li ordered. He felt that the man who was capable of declaring such words wouldnt be someone bad. But if he had the strength, why would he hide?

Was it because he didnt want to expose himself? No. I should stop thinking about him. Since hes probably still in the fortress, its reassuring to have another strong spiritual cultivator.

He was half right. Xiang Ning really couldnt afford to reveal his identity. Powerful people would come and find him if they found out that a student who just entered upper secondary had such extraordinary strength. He had the method to survive and run away, but what about his sister?

If he didnt have the strength to protect his loved ones, then it was better if he didnt reveal himself. He was still far too weak. While it was true that he was the disciple of Dong Qianyi, his master was a scientific researcher. He might not hold as much power as those strong martial artists. But eventually, he decided not to think too much about it. If he were too careful, someone might catch on to his unusual behavior.

He was also slightly disappointed that he had only obtained thirty thousand Fury Points from that single taunt. First of all, while the number of Savage Sand Rats was high, they were too dispersed. Only around two or three thousand of them were affected by the taunt. Secondly, the rail cannon had fired too early. The Savage Sand Rats that had been affected by his taunt were vaporized in an instant.

That was why he felt disappointed. He took huge risks to come here and couldnt go back with so few gains. Although his Fury Points were still increased by one every few minutes or so. That was no doubt from Dong Qianyi.

Luckily, it was still early and there was still time.

Xiang Ning was organizing the items that he kept in his Windbreaker when he saw a familiar figure.

It was Fang Hao, the elder brother of Fang Rou. He was also the reason why Xiang Ning knew the value of recovery fluid.

Coincidentally, he also saw Xiang Ning. He stopped in his tracks, then told the person beside him to go on ahead. Xiang Ning, whatre you doing here? Why are you alone? Is my sister here, too? Fang Hao had received news that the higher-ups wanted to let the students in the special class grow faster, so they were allowing them to participate in repelling the beast stampede.

Yeah, its just me, Xiang Ning chuckled. He was glad to find someone familiar here.

Looking at Xiang Nings goofy grin, Fang Hao suddenly felt like punching him. He still remembered how his money had been eaten by this glutton.

Fury Points +33

Wait, what are you doing here? Xiang Ning was still very courteous toward him, since he was the one who had gifted him so much of the recovery fluid.

Youre still too young and weak. Arent you a part-time student? Howd you get this superbike? Fang Hao squinted as he got suspicious. Xiang Ning had talent and wasnt too shabbyeven his father said that it was worth it to get to know him. Fang Hao also suspected that his background wasnt simple. But now he was suspicious of how Xiang Ning got so much money to buy the superbike.

Oh, Im just lucky. I placed first in the wilderness activity outside Marsh City. I even got a lot of money. It was getting boring in Marsh City during the holidays, so I just came here to kill some time, Xiang Ning laughed.

Fang Hao suddenly grabbed his hand. He didnt resist and allowed him to do so. Three seconds passed before he released his grip. You are a tier two, six-star martial artist? Didnt I just meet him not too long ago? Is the special class composed of monsters? Dad was right that Xiang Ning was a genius. But I still need to measure his strength and capabilities.

Xiang Ning wasnt sure why he was measuring him, but he tried to explain anyway, I got lucky and had the opportunity to use recovery capsules a few times over these past few months.

Fang Hao felt like his face was stung. Recovery fluid again?! Where did he get so much of it?! Alright, just look after your safety. Im just here to organize some things, but I will have to enter deep into the wilderness tomorrow, he tiredly said.

Oh, right, when you return to Marsh City, tell her Im still alive.

Sure, she still misses you, Xiang Ning told the truth.

Haha, thanks. But dont die in the wilderness. Here, take this as a token of appreciation for being my messenger. Goodbye. Having said that, he tossed Xiang Ning a crystal and headed out.

Xiang Ning was puzzled; he had never seen one of those before. What does it do? How do I use it?

Its a barrier crystal, itll completely negate a single attack from a tier three beast. Having said that, he quickly left. He was afraid he would punch Xiang Ning over the recovery fluid incident.
