Chapter 999: Chapter 996: The Lost Item

Paint Man was not afraid of the Peace Party; if he felt like it, he could have turned the entire vast Peace Party into human specimens alone, but there was no need for him to do so, nor was it of any interest to him.

What truly made him wary was the chairman of the Peace Party, Li Henian, who was also a Level 7 New Human and the second New Human he had encountered besides himself.

When he had evolved to a Level 7 New Human, Paint Man had gained a rough understanding of the powers possessed by Level 7 New Humans. However, in the battle with Li Henian, he found that Li was about thirty to forty percent stronger than himself, and he could not match the power that burst forth from him.

The fight with Li Henian involved a lot of probing and wasn’t a serious combat. Had it been a fight to the death, Paint Man understood that he would have had a greater chance of dying.

He still had too many people to kill, many of whom were in China, though he did not know their whereabouts. But in the future, he planned to stay in China permanently. As a superpower in South China, Paint Man was well aware of what the Peace Party represented; in his eyes, Li Henian was also a madman, just like himself, looking at things from the same angle.

Killing a major figure from the Peace Party and being endlessly pursued by Li Henian would be a serious problem for Paint Man, and he did not wish to offend such a ruthless person yet.

So he decided to just leave.

"Let’s go."

Glancing at Chen Zhou’an lying motionless on the ground, Paint Man said indifferently. Yet, after walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Mo Jun, who was supporting his subordinate and following him, frowning slightly.

"Having sustained such serious injuries, he won’t get far. There are no doctors here. Leave him behind; let him fend for himself. Carrying him will only delay us."

"This..." Mo Jun hesitated; his subordinate had been with him for quite some time, and abandoning him was something he found difficult to bear. However, the man in front of him would not care about his feelings. For the sake of his life, he felt it would be better to let him go.

"I’m sorry." Apologizing to his subordinate, Mo Jun then released him amidst his despairing gaze.

"Boss... no... don’t, you... you can’t do this, no..."

The subordinate wore a face of fear, continuously pleading, but Mo Jun did not look back and followed Paint Man.

Suddenly, Paint Man felt something clutching at his feet; looking down, his eyes showed surprise.

"You’re still alive?"

The person holding his feet was Chen Zhou’an, who had sustained a severe blow to the head. Even though he had not died, he should not have had the strength to do anything, but here he was, blocking his way with all his might.

At that moment, Chen Zhou’an looked almost human as the yellow fur all over his body had receded, but his head was too gruesome to behold, his brain tissue stained with blood still visible.

"You can’t... leave, I’m going to kill you, I need to avenge my brother, hehehe hahaha~"

As he spoke, he let out a hoarse laugh, but Paint Man responded with a sinister smile: "If that’s the case, then keep trying. Let’s see if you can stop me."

After finishing his words, Paint Man continued to walk forward with large strides as if Chen Zhou’an wasn’t clinging to his foot, feeling as light as cotton wrapped around the opponent’s foot.

The strength of the opponent was not something he could shift, even though he was transforming into a Level 6 New Human, the result was the same, and his own strength rapidly depleted under the drag of Paint Man.

Perhaps due to the lack of strength, it became increasingly hard to hold onto Paint Man’s leg with one arm, and he had to let go, but in the next second, he grabbed onto the other’s overcoat, allowing him to exert force more effectively.

Paint Man, however, didn’t care and continued walking forward. Chen Zhou’an’s strength diminished over time, and eventually, he fell off. As his consciousness blurred, Chen Zhou’an felt as if his hand, while detaching from Paint Man’s coat, pulled off something fuzzy, shaped like a palm-sized doll with a plastic tag attached.

Feeling Chen Zhou’an’s loss of strength, Paint Man let out a mocking laugh, filled with derision. This despair was exactly what he wanted to bring to him.

However, he didn’t realize that he had lost the most important thing to him.

After more than ten minutes, several Death God tanks arrived, looking at the ground covered with bodies, the soldiers who came to support fell silent.

Soldiers moved forward after a while and silently began cleaning up the bodies, and Ah Fu, observing the carnage around him, furrowed his brows. This battle had been a heavy loss for the Peace Party. During this period of campaigning in Jiuge, eight from Level 4 New Humans had evolved into Level 5 New Humans, and here, three had fallen, along with more than forty others from Level 4 New Humans.

Although such losses weren’t crippling for the Peace Party, it was indeed quite severe.

"Vice Chair, there is a person here from the Deep Logic Corporation,"

Soon, a soldier shouted out. This call drew the soldiers around Ah Fu, and the member from the Deep Logic Corporation was the subordinate previously abandoned by Mo Jun. He lay on the ground, unable to move, covered in wounds. The most severe wound was from a cutting weapon that had cleaved from shoulder to chest, severely damaging his heart. Even as a Level 5 New Human, he was barely clinging to life.

Ah Fu looked at the soldier, his gaze turning cold. He waved his hand and replied with a murderous tone, "Why are you telling me? Kill him!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Ah Fu’s order, the soldier who found the Deep Logic Corporation member aimed his gun at his head and fired a laser that pierced through his brain, ending his life.

"Damn Mo Jun."

Ah Fu couldn’t help but rage internally, but since the opponent had already fled, harboring resentment was useless. What needed to be done now was to pursue and eliminate him!

Looking around, Ah Fu shouted, "See if there are any survivors, and get the medical team ready." The scene was so brutal, filled with a deathly aura, and Chen Zhou’an and his brother Chen Zhouquan had also joined this mission. Now, their chances of survival seemed very slim.

Just as Ah Fu’s words fell, a Dead Knight who had come along suddenly spotted a familiar corpse and hurriedly ran over, "Captain! Captain! You can’t be dead?"

Not far away, Chen Zhou’an lay on the blood-soaked ground, blood constantly gushing from his head. Such injuries were already beyond survival, but the member of the Dead Knight Corps still rushed over, not daring to move him, only able to shout out Chen Zhou’an’s name.
