Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

Unbeknownst to the battling pair, the Special Abilities Division and the Security and Control Division were already aware of the situation thanks to Li Chenqiu's phone call and had formulated a battle plan.

Compared to the bustling city, the open mountaintop was the Special Abilities Division's comfort zone. Although their individual combat strength wasn't high, they could compensate with firearms.

After all, even the strongest Resurgent was still a carbon-based lifeform. First and Second Order bullets could sweep through them, Third Order bullets could contend, and beyond that, there were missiles. If missiles didn't work, it was the Security and Control Division's problem.

...

Near the stream on North Huangshan Mountain.

In the shadows where moonlight couldn't penetrate, Li Chenqiu, dressed in the dead man's clothes, emerged like a normal person.

Li Qingxia, who was huddled under a tree, immediately got up and jogged over when she saw Li Chenqiu.

"Xiao Qiuzi, do you know how dangerous it is to leave a First Order Resurgent in a place like this?!" Li Qingxia rushed forward and grabbed Li Chenqiu's arm tightly.

"Except for those Resurgents around Xu Yuan, who knows where they went, the others in the mountains are basically dead. What are you afraid of?" Li Chenqiu pushed Li Qingxia away in disgust.

"If I were as strong as you, would I be afraid?" Li Qingxia paused. "By the way, did you kill all these people?"

Li Chenqiu glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and nodded. "You've seen my ability in the videos. Dealing with those below the Third Order is easy. Beyond that, I have to do it myself."

Li Qingxia gasped. "Damn, are you really human? How did you quietly become so strong?"

"I just ate more, so I naturally became stronger. Let's go, let's go out and see what's happening." Li Chenqiu patted Li Qingxia's shoulder and walked out of the forest first.

Li Qingxia hurriedly followed. "What are we going to do? And, Xiao Qiuzi, why is the sky turning red?"

...

...

North Huangshan Mountain is a flat-topped mountain. As a tourist destination in City 11, it has many large hotels and camping bases.

However, due to its proximity to the Unpopulated Zone, there are no cell towers, and the lack of internet deters many young people, but this does not affect the brilliance of the sunrise and the afterglow of the sunset.

Every evening around six or seven o'clock, the barbecue area is filled with the sizzling aroma of roasting meat, the restaurants are always packed, and couples are always holding hands and strolling along the road.

But all of this was shattered tonight. The glass of the restaurants was covered with bloody handprints, the vehicles on the road were piled up in a mess, and from time to time, one could hear women's cries for help and the lewd laughter of Resurgents from inside the cars.

After most Resurgents were abandoned by the law, the moral bottom line in their hearts also collapsed. This was not accidental; it was inevitable.

Under the frequently flickering streetlights, Li Chenqiu slowly walked out of the shadows.

After leaving the forest with Li Qingxia, the two went together to the bonfire party location. Afterwards, Li Qingxia used her ability to see the numbers on the wooden box, which also gave Li Chenqiu a glimmer of hope.

The Sealed Artifact box had not yet been opened, so he still had a chance. If he could stall until the Security and Control Division lured those two people away, perhaps he could compete for the so-called Mystic Artifact.

As for whether the other party would just run away with the box, Li Chenqiu couldn't say for sure, but it was better to try than to watch. What if he succeeded?

Now he only needed to do one thing: delay the opening of the Sealed Artifact box. Simply put, it was to slow down the speed at which the Resurgents were searching for humans.

On the empty street, Li Chenqiu walked up to a constantly shaking car with his hands in his pockets.

Through the car window, Li Chenqiu clearly saw a young Resurgent trying to coerce a girl with a delicate face using forceful means. The sound of clothes being torn and cries mixed together in the car, especially grating.

Seeing this, Li Chenqiu clenched his fist and smashed the car window with a "bang," grabbed the Resurgent's collar with his fingers, dragged him out, and threw him heavily on the ground.

"Ouch, what the hell, are you trying to..." Before the young man could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu broke his arm with a kick.

"Ahhh!" The intense pain instantly made the young man's face contorted, and he struggled on the ground.

The girl in the car clutched her clothes tightly, bit her lip, and looked at Li Chenqiu excitedly. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Li... Li Chenqiu?"

Li Chenqiu turned his head. "You know me?"

The girl wiped her nose excitedly and nodded. "I... I saw you on TV..."

"Mm." Li Chenqiu responded casually, then turned his attention to the Resurgent. "I'm asking you, where did your main force go?"

"You... are you from the New World?" the young man asked through gritted teeth.

"I'm asking you one last time, where did your main force go? If you don't tell me, you die." Li Chenqiu raised his foot and stepped directly on the young man's face.

"Bastard!"

The young man's hands transformed into wolf claws, and he grabbed towards Li Chenqiu's crotch.

"Be careful, his claws are very sharp!" the girl shouted nervously.

Facing the young man's claw attack, Li Chenqiu exerted a little force with his toes, and with a "bang," he stomped on the young man's head, and the other party's arm drooped weakly at this moment.

Li Chenqiu had now broken through to the Second Order, and his true strength was on par with the Fourth Order. If he used all his means, he could barely fight a Fifth Order. A First Order Resurgent was no different from an ant to him.

"You..." The girl leaned back into the car in fear at this scene. Having lived in peace, she had never seen such a scene.

Li Chenqiu turned his head to look at the girl. "Do you know where there are any gatherings of survivors nearby?"

"Yes... Our First Senior High School went to the bonfire party in class order. There are still two classes behind me staying at the hotel," the girl said timidly.

"First Senior High School?" A trace of imperceptible reminiscence flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes. It had been a long time since he had heard the name of his alma mater.

At the same time, the North Peak Hotel, a kilometer away from here.

Several buses were blocking the gate, and a dozen security officers were crouching inside the buses, constantly shooting at the Resurgents at the door through the windows.

"Qi Mingyue, come back quickly, we don't have many bullets left!"

Wu Shan, the security officer behind the car window, shouted loudly, while holding a pistol and shooting continuously, assisting Qi Mingyue, who was fighting fiercely with the Resurgents.

At the entrance of the North Peak Hotel, a dozen Resurgents were besieging a young man with a delicate appearance. This person was Qi Mingyue.

At this time, Qi Mingyue's condition was very bad. His face was pale, and the clothes on his body were torn into strips and hung diagonally on his body.

Even though he was manipulating two Second Order Resurgents, he was still no match for the siege of a dozen Resurgents.

"Good kid, a First Order can actually hold back so many of us!"

"He can't hold on anymore, let's work harder. Once he's killed, the people inside are ours!"

The Resurgents became more and more excited as they fought, and the attacks shrouded Qi Mingyue like a rain curtain. Although the security officers' bullets could help Qi Mingyue share some of the pressure, they could only share it and could not solve the problem.

"Captain, I'm out of bullets!" Zhu Cheng pressed the unresponsive trigger with his finger and looked at Wu Shan in panic.

"If you don't have any bullets, use the things on the car to smash them. Qi Mingyue, a kid, is at the front. We can't retreat!" Wu Shan gave the order with red eyes.

"Okay!" Zhu Cheng responded loudly.

Just as the situation was getting worse and worse, a burst of chaotic and dense footsteps came from behind the bus.
