Third level
What Lu Tingxiao said was completely unlike his style. He was always a carefree and unrestrained person, but there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
It seemed like he had changed since he last came back from Ohio.
She became eager to establish a relationship with Ling Shi, began to cherish life, or in other words, became more like an ordinary living person.
Ling Shi suddenly felt his eyes getting a little hot. He stared at the giant even harder and shook his arms which were swollen from excessive purification, but said nothing.
The enraged giant roared, and Xiang Chongyi was thrown out as well. While he was in mid-air, the giant slapped him in the chest. Before he even landed, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Ling Shi's heart skipped a beat and he rushed forward in a flash.
He grabbed the giant's arm, blocking his steps towards Xiang Chongyi. Just as he was about to purify it, his hand went limp, numb and weak, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
The body is too full of cells and can no longer hold any more.
"roar--"
As his arrogance weakened, the giant corrupt man became more arrogant, raised his big arms and slapped him in the chest.
Ling Shi had no choice but to let it go and quickly retreated two steps.
The giant's palm brushed past his shoulder, causing a sharp pain.
Lu Tingxiao's panicked voice came from the side: "Are you okay?"
Lu Tingxiao rarely lost his composure and grabbed him tightly, refusing to let go.
Ling Shi shook his head.
The slap on the shoulder was not a big deal. Compared with the serious injuries he had received during previous missions, it was not even an injury.
but--
Ling Shi looked around. There were still numerous Corrupted people surrounding him, constantly coming from both the front and the back. But they were no match for this giant Corrupted alone.
Could it be that this most powerful fighting team known to mankind will be defeated here today?
Like countless soldiers before and after the apocalypse, will he die quietly in this mission?
Ling Shi felt a tightness in his chest.
no.
The task of collecting dragon horns has not been completed yet, he can't just fall down like this.
He was still waiting to see mankind overcome this difficulty, eliminate all the corrupt people, return safely to their previous living places, resume production and construction, and move towards a better future.
Even for the beautiful picture in his mind, he would try his best.
Ling Shi roared, pounced towards the giant corpse and grabbed it.
His arms were weak, but he relied on his willpower to force out the last bit of potential in his body.
Even if I die of bloating today, I have to suck the blood dry from this giant beast in front of me!
Pop.
A very faint sound came from somewhere.
Ling Shi felt that the sound might have come from inside his body, or even been an illusion.
Otherwise, how could he hear such a faint yet clear sound in such a noisy "battlefield".
Suddenly, he felt as if a valve had opened in the palm of his left hand, and a chill in his body rushed out of the valve.
A stream of gray air appeared visibly in the palm of his hand, like a small air conditioner, blowing outwards.
What's going on?
Ling Shi paused.
Beep beep.
An alarm sounded from the wristband on my arm.
He looked down.
The display index above showed 99%. The number jumped twice and then the screen went out.
That’s all.
What's going on?
His index was originally 94%, but after this round of massive absorption, it suddenly jumped to 99%, which was not surprising.
But now...
Could it be more than 100%?
What the fuck would that be?!
The body is full, so it starts to leak out?
Ling Shi felt the coolness flowing out from the palm of his left hand, and then he realized that the bloating and fatigue in his body were gradually disappearing!
It's like a pile of garbage was stuffed in and then gradually cleaned up!
My body has regained its original vitality, and even my spirits have become more lifted.
Ling Shi was delighted.
He tried to activate the purifying power, and this time, the cells flowed unhindered into his body.
Not only did my arms no longer feel sore and weak, but they instead burst out with a new strength!
Now he was very excited.
Almost at the same time, the coolness in his left palm also rapidly increased and accelerated! The cells that had just flowed into his right hand rushed to his left hand like water, and then flowed out again.
Ling Shi understood immediately.
Before the second stage, he could only absorb visible cells to achieve a purification effect.
But the human body is a limited container, so its purification capacity is also limited.
But once he suddenly reached the 100% mark, the "barriers" all over his body were broken, and it became apparent that cells could not only "enter" but also "exit".
If you eat too much, just throw some away.
In this way, his purification ability is no longer limited and can be used continuously until the enemy is drained!
Ling Shi almost wanted to shout a few times!
He reached level three!
I won’t die today!
The giant corroded beast seemed to have sensed this subtle change as well. It let out a strange cry and slapped him in the face!
Ling Shi ducked and dodged, but he almost lost his grip on the arm and it was about to slip out.
At this moment, the giant's movements suddenly slowed down.
He blinked slowly twice, his eyes becoming a little empty.
The arm stopped struggling and slowly fell down.
Ling Shi suddenly understood and glanced at Lu Tingxiao behind him.
Sure enough, this guy had completely given up on the hundreds of second-level corrupt people around him and focused his attention on this giant corrupt.
Ling Shi gritted his teeth, exerted his last bit of strength, and sped up the purification process!
He had to hurry up and solve this huge corruption before his comrades around him were overwhelmed.
Above the second level, it is indeed extraordinary.
In just five minutes, the giant fell to his knees with his head drooping.
......
Ling Shi loosened his hand, and the giant corpse in front of him, which was more than two meters tall, fell to the ground with a thud like a deflated rag doll.
Never got up again.
Without the giant corrupt's appeal, the corrupt people around him began to flee in all directions.
As the fight went on, most of the corrupt officials disappeared.
The members of the White Eagle team did not chase after him. Instead, they sat down where they were and gasped for breath.
Lu Tingxiao and Ling Shi looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and sat down on the ground.
Next to each other, back to back.
The two men were covered in sweat, and their combat uniforms on the upper body were soaked and stuck tightly to their bodies.
Ling Shi extended his pinky finger and hooked Lu Tingxiao: "Hello."
Lu Tingxiao leaned back, and the back of his head gently bumped against the back of his head: "Hmm?"
Ling Shi didn't know what he wanted to say specifically, he just felt a surge of warmth gathering in his chest, bulging and warm: "If..."
At this moment, a window on the second floor of a house on Ford Street creaked open, and a faint light shone through the window.
"Hello!" A man's voice came from behind the window: "Where are you friends from?"
Peng Gaoxuan glanced at the two captains and shouted toward the window, "From China."
The window creaked shut.
After waiting for just one minute, the door on the first floor of the house was opened.
A man stuck his head out, looked around, and after making sure that the corrupted people had fallen to the ground and were motionless, he ran out of the house.
As he walked in front of them, the man's face finally appeared.
He looked to be in his thirties, thin and short, with a beard that covered half of his face.
The man was visibly excited when he saw the people sitting on the ground. He gestured with his hands, tears welling in his eyes: "Finally, someone came to save us. Finally..."
Lu Tingxiao didn't move forward, but looked at the man with a scrutinizing gaze: "Who are you?"
The man restrained his expression, wiped the corners of his eyes, and bowed slightly. "Dear Chinese guests, I am the secretary of the President of Rams. My name is Kwame Okafor. The President, I, and over a hundred people in the government building have been trapped here for over a month."
Lu Tingxiao continued to ask: "Where are the others?"
Okafor was stunned for a moment and asked blankly: "What...others?"
Lu Tingxiao frowned and asked, "Are you the only ones left in Rams?"
Okafor was about to drop gold beans again, but he forced himself to hold it back and nodded slowly.
Lu Ting sighed and said, "Take us to see your president."
When they arrived at 39 Ford Street, before they got close, the door creaked open a crack.
A thin, dark-skinned woman wrapped in a headscarf showed her face inside. When she saw Okafor and the White Eagles, she quickly opened the door and bowed to them.
Okafor led them inside.
This is a modest three-bedroom apartment with only a few dim lights.
Under normal circumstances, this house is only big enough for one family.
So, when the White Eagles saw that the room was packed with people, they really didn't know what expression to show.
There were too many people and definitely not enough food, and everyone looked pale and thin.
There were always queues for the few toilets available, and the whole house was filled with a not-so-pleasant smell.
Okafor led them, pushing through the crowd of eager eyes, and went up to the second floor.
There was a sunny bedroom on the second floor, with only a few people in it.
The bed was fairly clean, in stark contrast to the downstairs.
An elderly man was lying on the bed.
However, he was tall, neither frail nor thin, and even though his eye sockets were sunken and he looked listless, he seemed to be in much better overall condition than the others.
Okafor bowed to him and said, "My beloved President Popov, these are the warriors sent by China to save us."
The old man stood up and stared at Lu Tingxiao and the others for a moment before striding over and extending his hand: "I'm Dmitri Popov. Welcome."
He walked steadily, with a military aura, but his eyes flickered, probably because he was not energetic enough.
Dmitri Popov, President of the State of Rams.
Due to the torture he had endured during this period, his skin was dry and dull, and the two goatees under his nose drooped. He looked only about 60% to 70% like in the photo.
Lu Tingxiao extended his hand and shook his. "Captain of the Huaguo White Eagle Team, Lu Tingxiao. My teammates and I are here to carry out this mission under the orders of the Huaguo Team."
He spoke in a serious and solemn manner, which fully represented the momentum of a world-class power.
If this guy really wants to act, he always does it well.
Popov shook his hand tightly. "Thank you, thank you. How... did you find this place?"
Lu Tingxiao said simply, "We found the signal you left behind in your country's secret service."
"Oh, yes, yes." Popov nodded, released his hand, and said, "I'm sorry you missed the trip."
"Actually, we were originally hiding in that building. Unfortunately... after we sent out a distress signal, we encountered a wave of bandits who came to rob us. That time, many of us died. We had no choice but to move there."
"By the way, did you meet anyone else outside?"
He blinked a little quickly and looked a little scared.
Lu Tingxiao looked at him and shook his head: "No."
He glanced around and asked, "How did you hide until now when there are so many corrupt people outside?"
Popov sighed. "This room is a safe house prepared by the secret service. The door locks and window glass are all special, bulletproof grade. Otherwise, the corrupt people would have broken through the door long ago."
"Fortunately, we finally received international help."
Lu Tingxiao: "According to China's orders, we should rescue the trapped people as much as possible in accordance with humanitarian principles. But..." He paused and didn't continue.
Popov immediately followed up, "Thank you for China's generosity. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
He was very sincere, and although his eyes flickered, he tried to keep them wide open, as if he was listening carefully.
Lu Tingxiao said directly, "That's good. First, for safety reasons, all of you must obey our orders. After we get out, we will coordinate all of your actions. Otherwise, if everyone runs around randomly, it will easily get into danger."
"Yes, yes," Popov said, "of course, no problem."
Lu Tingxiao continued, “Besides, we are risking our lives on this trip for a most important mission.”
Popov took a breath and pulled himself together: "Captain Lu, please speak."
Lu Tingxiao: "Dragon Horn. We need to borrow your country's dragon horn for research."
He laid out the cards on the table, clearly showing them to the person opposite him. The disparity in power meant no need for gimmicks. Trading a dead object for a chance at life was something any normal person would accept.
Unexpectedly, Popov hesitated and said, "The dragon horn...is not stored here."
Lu Tingxiao frowned: "Where is it?"
Was their escape so hasty? They didn't even bring such important supplies with them. But then again, compared to the dragon horns, life-sustaining food and water were more urgent.
"Um..." Popov glanced at Okafor: "...In the government building."
This answer was answered with some hesitation, as if he was a little reluctant.
But no matter how reluctant he was, the initiative was no longer in his hands.
Lu Tingxiao nodded: "Okay. Let's set off now."
