I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 89: 89. It's not very peaceful outside

Since he had seen a Blood-Exchange Realm Martial Artist, Lu Yao had lost interest in small-caliber weapons.

Being in the Blood-Exchange Realm was like being a human-shaped dinosaur; even .50 caliber weapons couldn't kill them in one shot.

But powerful weapons were regulated, and ordinary people simply had no way to obtain them.

"Hongsha Country" was in constant chaos, and... it wasn't far from where he was in Ning City. He could get there within three hours if he left now.

Lu Yao decided, "Since it's so close, I might as well take a look and see if there's a chance to get something."

~~~~~~~

Lu Yao promptly made his way to Ruihe City.

This was the largest inland port in the southwest of Xia Country, bordering Hongsha Country.

The street's greenery was quite distinctive, all being broad-leaved tropical plants.

Lu Yao withdrew 200,000 from the bank, planning to use this money to bribe military officers in the conflict zone.

The average annual income in Hongsha Country was about 5,000, so 200,000 for a machine gun wasn't too much, right? In the past, he had obtained weapons through robbery, but this time he wanted to try being a good person.

He took a taxi to the border checkpoint at a leisurely pace, but at the base of the wall, he saw many people squatting, and armed police had drawn a cordon and were keeping watch.

Lu Yao was curious, and the taxi driver explained, "These are refugees who smuggled themselves over from Hongsha Country. They're afraid to go back because of the war, and it's not right to ignore them, so we can only temporarily take care of them."

Lu Yao understood.

The driver sighed and added, "For them, foreign land has become the safest refuge. It's really pitiful."

"It's not very peaceful out there, huh."

The two of them chatted idly until they arrived at the checkpoint, only to find that it had been cut off by the border army.

The driver said helplessly, "It was open yesterday. It seems the fighting over there has gotten fiercer. It's definitely dangerous. I advise you not to go."

Lu Yao smiled, didn't say anything, paid the fare, and got out. With his current physique, he could easily make his way through the jungle and enter on his own.

Lu Yao went to the supermarket and bought a large backpack full of snacks, all prepared for Liao Qe, and all sweet.

The conflict in Hongsha Country had flared up again, and it looked like heavy weapons were being used. The light from modern weaponry was especially noticeable in the dim light.

Lu Yao watched with curiosity, while others around him were unphased. Many aunties continued with their dance exercises, and the old men chatted and played chess unfazed.

A sight of peace on one side and constant war on the other was truly astonishing.

Lu Yao, feeling contemplative, made his way into the jungle and crossed into Hongsha Country.

~~~~~~~~

The forest was misty, the soil under his feet moist and soft. Having reached a deserted spot, Lu Yao stretched his neck from side to side and then broke into a sprint.

Having been stuck in the city for the last few days, he felt stifled and headed straight towards the hilltop where gunfire had erupted before.

His legs pumping powerfully, creating depressions in the ground, his heart supplying blood throughout his body, Lu Yao burst forth, instantly reaching the speed of a small car!

The strong wind brought about by his running caused branches to sway and leaves to scatter chaotically.

Lu Yao ran exhilaratingly, immensely enjoying himself. He leapt over obstacles with ease, sometimes even using the tree trunks to propel himself over muddy pits.

"With this surge in strength and my body weight at just under 100 kilograms, I've become even more agile and flexible!"

The temperature was around 36 degrees, but Lu Yao ran with a sweat without feeling hot. His lungs were rapidly expelling the heated waste gases, cooling down swiftly.

He felt his lungs were like high-pressure air pumps, rapidly exchanging gases with the outside world.

This is also one of the benefits of Organ Refining, and what Martial Path brings is not so much increased strength as it is an overall "evolution."

~~~~~~~~

"A watched pot never boils," and what seems like a short distance actually spans unknowably far.

Lu Yao ran for nearly an hour to arrive, glanced at the navigation app on his phone, and saw that his speed was 66 kilometers per hour, and that was without giving it his all.

Lu Yao was very satisfied with the tremendous enhancement of his body, entered a focused state, and slowly approached the site of the previous firefight.

After passing the last row of bushes, he had left the thicket, and what came into view was a small village nestled in the mountains.

The village bore a distinct foreign style, with buildings supported by columns and suspended above the ground on "stilt houses," beside which were expansive paddy fields.

At the entrance to the village, there was a wooden sign with neatly written Simplified Chinese characters—Neilan Village. On the borders, many people from Hongsha Country spoke the language of Xia Country and used simplified characters.

In theory, a pastoral scene should be infinitely idyllic, but the sight before him was more akin to Inferno.

The houses all bore the marks of explosion and fire, none unscathed; throughout the village, there were corpses everywhere, with bodies in the paddy fields bloated from soaking, and swarms of flies buzzing about in a frenzy.

Greeting Lu Yao was a row of wooden poles at the entrance to the village, atop which the decapitated heads of villagers were impaled.

"Modern army massacring a village!?"

This place was at most 100 kilometers from Xia Country, and Lu Yao had never imagined such a thing could happen.

"It's not very peaceful out there..."

Lu Yao stepped forward and closed the eyes of several heads on the poles that clearly belonged to children.

Then his ears twitched, and he heard the sound of a car engine in the distance; it was most likely a jeep.

He dashed after it in a flash.

~~~~~~~~

A Toyota pickup was stuck in a quagmire, with only one-third of its body visible above the ground. Two Wuling Hongguang vans were going full throttle in an attempt to drag it out.

This was a 50-person army unit, and it seemed this was the reason for their delayed progress. Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

The pickup bogged down in the mire was presumably the officer's vehicle. At this moment, the officer, who was short, dark, and fat, was hopping mad, cursing furiously and waving a blood-stained, curved military saber.

By his side, several women bound at the hands and feet begged in the language of Xia Country. Once taken back to the army camp, they would face a fate of being violated to death.

Lu Yao had already arrived and saw everything clearly.

He suddenly noticed—the enemy's civilian car had a heavy machine gun rigged up on the roof! Judging from its appearance, it should be a Browning M2!

One could simply understand this gun as an automatic shooting "Barrett!"

Lu Yao moved his wrists and couldn't help but mock himself, "It looks like I'm going to have to plunder again, even though I wanted to be a good person."

~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, the camp leader "Cha Ai" was fuming with rage.

A perfectly good road had a massive mud pit that had ensnared his beloved pickup, and no matter how hard they pulled, it just sank deeper.

On this outing, they had only slaughtered a village and captured 5 women. Losing a vehicle would be a huge loss.

Just then, as men and vehicle struggled, the beloved pickup suddenly stopped sinking and began slowly emerging from the mud pit.

Cha Ai's face brightened with joy, and as he looked at the 5 captured women, he already started fantasizing about the delights awaiting him back at the camp.

But suddenly, with a "bang," a gust of wind blew by, and two of his men were sent flying into a tree trunk and then rebounded off, spewing chunks of their innards on the ground.

A man from Xia Country with a backpack was seen picking up an AK, flipping the selector switch to full automatic mode!
