On the smoke-filled battlefield, enemy corpses lay scattered about, and the air reeked of blood. Ning Yu's soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, their weary faces bearing the joy of victory.
"Boss, what do we do next?" Mu Xue walked up to Ning Yu and asked with a smile. She casually wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and seemed to be in a great mood.
Ning Yu sheathed his Tang sword, looked around at the devastated battlefield, but felt no joy, only endless heaviness. "Let's rest for a bit," he took a deep breath, his gaze hardening, "We should head to the next place."
"Next place?" Mu Xue was slightly taken aback. "Where to?"
Before he could finish speaking, a soldier covered in blood stumbled over, shouting frantically, "Boss, we have news! We found a large supply warehouse to the west, and it seems..." He paused, took a deep breath as if to calm his excitement, "...it seems to have a large amount of energy crystals!"
Energy crystals! These are incredibly precious to any force struggling to survive in the apocalypse. They not only provide powerful energy but can also be used to upgrade the levels of superhumans, making them the most sought-after strategic resource in the post-apocalyptic world.
Ning Yu's eyes lit up, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them. He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if they could acquire this batch of energy crystals, their power would experience a qualitative leap!
"Depart immediately!" Ning Yu issued the order decisively without the slightest hesitation.
The team quickly assembled and headed towards their destination. The atmosphere along the way was no longer as heavy as before; instead, it was filled with an irrepressible excitement and anticipation.
However, when they arrived at their destination, weary from their journey, the sight before them made their hearts sink.
Outside the warehouse, several factions had already gathered, all fully armed and exuding a murderous aura. Clearly, this "fat piece of meat" had already been targeted, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
As soon as Ning Yu got out of the car, his sharp gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on a burly man with a face full of scars. He recognized him as Zhao Kuang, the leader of the "Black Tiger Gang," a ruthless character known for his cruelty.
Zhao Kuang also saw Ning Yu, a cruel sneer curling his lips. He slammed his machete heavily on the ground with a dull thud, and arrogantly shouted, "Yo, isn't this the famous 'Boss Ning'? What, you're also interested in this batch of energy crystals?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense, thick with the smell of gunpowder, ready to explode at any moment. Ning Yu took a deep breath; he knew a tough battle was inevitable… The atmosphere in the open space in front of the warehouse was suffocatingly oppressive. Ning Yu remained calm, and facing Zhao Kuang's provocation, he simply smiled faintly: "Boss Zhao is joking. Who wouldn't be interested in such a large piece of 'fat meat'? However, I hope we can all coexist peacefully and jointly develop these resources, rather than engaging in armed conflict and suffering mutual losses."
"Peaceful coexistence?" Zhao Kuang laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain. "Ning Yu, are you kidding me? You think you can be on equal footing with us?"
"Exactly! Don't they even know who they are!"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
The leaders of other surrounding factions echoed his sentiments, their words filled with contempt and hostility towards Ning Yu. Clearly, in their eyes, Ning Yu's power was insufficient to contend with theirs.
Ning Yu's smile gradually faded, and his eyes hardened. He knew these people were insatiably greedy and impossible to reason with. To obtain resources, the only way was through strength!
"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say." Ning Yu took a deep breath and slowly drew his Tang sword from his waist. "Brothers, charge!"
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him charged out like tigers descending a mountain, engaging in a fierce battle with the other forces. Shouts of battle, screams, and the clashing of swords mingled together, instantly shattering the tranquility in front of the warehouse.
The battle escalated rapidly from the outset. Although Ning Yu's soldiers were well-trained, the enemy outnumbered them and included many powerful superhumans, quickly putting them at a disadvantage.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a burly man wielding a giant hammer blasted away several soldiers blocking his way and charged towards Ning Yu, laughing wildly.
"Boss, watch out!"
Ning Yu dodged the giant hammer's attack by sidestepping, and swung his sword backhand towards the burly man's chest. However, the man was prepared and raised his arm to block the blow.
"Clang!"
The blade struck the metal guard with a piercing sound. Ning Yu felt a tremendous force, his hand went numb, and the Tang sword nearly slipped from his grasp.
"Haha, is that all the strength you have?" The burly man laughed wildly and swung his giant hammer at Ning Yu again.
While fending off the burly man's attacks, Ning Yu observed the situation on the battlefield. He saw that many of his own soldiers were wounded, with several seriously injured and lying on the ground; the situation was far from optimistic.
"This can't go on any longer!" Ning Yu was extremely anxious. He knew that if they didn't find a way to turn the situation around, they might be doomed here today.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ning Yu, blocking the burly man's fatal blow for him.
"Mu Xue!" Ning Yu exclaimed in surprise. Mu Xue had a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth and her face was pale, clearly indicating that she was injured.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Mu Xue forced a smile, but her voice was unusually weak.
