Chapter 22: Mediocrity
This military camp (excavation site) is also underground, which is why Wang Wei and others did not find this place in satellite images.
As Ed's "secret" base, the defenses here are outrageously harsh.
The high-walled compound, countless searchlights and monitors, and a large number of soldiers and superpowers come and go, ensuring that no fly enters the base.
As Ed's back garden, even Lin Hua has no right to enter this place, but today, it has welcomed uninvited guests.
"Stop! The military restricted area ahead, irrelevant people and other avoidance. ”
In front of the barracks, Wang Wei and his entourage were stopped by soldiers, and when they heard this, Song Wensan smiled and stepped forward to say.
"We are also people from the military department......"
"I don't care where you are, if you want to get out, you can get out, go slowly, beware of me opening two holes in you."
The soldiers watching the gate were holding their guns and showing off their might, and their tones were firm and imposing - no one could enter this base without orders from their superiors.
Seeing this, Song Wensan spread his hands, took two steps back, and patted Zhou Wu's shoulder.
"I'll leave it to you."
If the soft ones don't work, the hard ones will come.
The previous communication was just a trial, and the result was not unexpected, so it was possible to carry out the "infiltration" plan according to the original plan.
It can be seen that Zhou Wu stepped forward and stopped three meters away from the soldier.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and as his fingers came together, his fists clenched, he swung his fist violently.
"Knock".
The fist wind struck out and smashed directly into the soldier's chest, and the bowl-sized hole was bubbling with blood, and the soldier fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Zhou Wu is going to kill Eddard, and the others are cleaning up the superpowers in the base, let's start."
With such a large number of junior brothers, Wang Wei really saved a lot of thoughts, and he didn't even need to open the arrival of the legion, just like a tourist, under the escort of a junior brother, he walked leisurely towards the base.
And when Wang Wei stepped into the base with one foot, a deafening alarm sounded.
……
Right in the middle of the barracks.
A huge sinkhole.
From above, this sinkhole is a regular circle, at first glance it is the product of artificial excavation, the diameter of the circle is about 100 meters, at a glance there is no bottom, only the faintly lit red light can be seen.
Depending on the situation, Ed's excavation project seems to have dug up a lava layer......
Decades of hard work are coming to an end in the near future.
In the deepest part of the pit, two men stood one after the other, the former was tall but his beard was white, his knife-like face told of fortitude and stubbornness, and his straight military uniform set off the figure of this person extraordinarily upright.
He's Eddard.
The leader of Yicheng, the controller of the SSS-level flame pattern, and also the peak of individual force in the entire Yicheng.
The line of sight drifted into the distance, and in front of him, a deep cave** faintly flashed with red light, and the hot wind blew out of it, bringing a faint roar, like the whispering of a demon.
"Sir, according to the engineering team, there are SSS-class fire ghosts inside, and their people can't get in."
The construction process of the engineering team is stuck here.
Because the closer you get to the ground, the more fire ghosts you will encounter.
Although according to Lin Hua, things like fire ghosts are no longer a threat to human beings, but this is not the case.
The fire ghost is still very awesome.
But this creature seems to have a natural dependence on that meteorite, and usually, these fire ghosts just huddle underground, easily ignoring the humans above them - this is also the fundamental reason why Lin Hua feels that fire ghosts are easy to deal with.
And Ed, who took the excavation of the meteorite as his own responsibility, naturally had more contact with the fire ghost, and was more aware of the power that the fire ghost possessed.
But......
"How far is it from the stone?"
"Ten kilometers less than ......"
"It's already possible."
Ed nodded slightly, having already made up his mind.
The remaining ten kilometers, without the need for an engineering team, on his own, were enough to kill the fire ghost, clear the rock formations, and dig the meteorite out of the ground.
"I'll make a way for the sir."
Behind Eddard, the officer in his mid-thirties said this, and white flames erupted from his body.
Wolf Xing.
Ed's aide-de-camp.
One of the three SSS-level superpowers in Yicheng, and also the strongest in Yicheng under Adelinhua.
Ed was about to nod, but the communicator on his waist rang suddenly, and the communication was connected, and Ed slowly frowned as he listened.
It wasn't until the communication was hung up that Ed sighed, turned back to look at Wolf Xing, and Ed spoke.
"The base has been attacked, you go up to deal with this matter, and leave this last stretch of the road to myself."
"Lin Hua did it?"
The relationship between Wolf Xing and Ed seemed to be unusual, and he deduced it like this, and saw Ed nodding.
"I guess so...... That beam-jumping clown...... Go back and kill all the invaders. ”
"Understood, sir."
……
The flames of war spread, and the smoke of gunfire erupted.
The number of reincarnators is about fifty, and the total number of soldiers in the base is about thirty thousand.
Coupled with the superpowers who are not low in quantity and quality, this battle is actually quite lively.
After a brief observation, Wang Wei seemed to be a little interested.
Because he found that the strength of the controller of the flame pattern in this world was actually not weak.
During the evaluation, Song Wensan already had a rough estimate of the high-end power in this world.
The S-level superpowers are already almost the same level as the elites of Great Qin, and the scattered reincarnations can't even reach this standard.
And the S-class superpowers who appeared in the barracks already had a hand.
There is even an SS-level superpower, standing in mid-air, wielding endless ice thorns - this level of superpower already needs Song Wensan, Wang Yuwei, Wuxue and others to take action.
From this point of view, the strength of SSS-level superpowers such as Lin Hua and Ed may be able to reach the standards of warriors, Li Yifan, Sherlock and others.
This level, in the world of the plot, is actually not low.
But now, their strength really can't withstand Wang Wei and others.
The ice superpower in the air let out a wild roar from his mouth, and the massive ice energy smashed towards the reincarnators like a storm, however, he was arrogant for less than two seconds, and with the light and shadow behind him flashing, Zhou Wu appeared behind this person as if teleporting.
It's a simple punch again.
Zhou Wu's punch, like a hooligan fight, slapped the ice superpower's face, accompanied by the explosion of flesh and blood, the loss of teeth, and the messy parts gushed out from the ice superpower's mouth, spilling all over the ground.
Spikes.
Zhou Wu killed this person, which was no different in essence from killing the soldier guarding the door.
Zhou Wu, who was standing in the air, didn't seem to be used to this feeling of being in the limelight, with a shy smile on his face, he nodded at Wang Wei, and his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
"It's strong."
Behind Wang Wei, Wang Yuwei sighed and said, but Wang Wei scratched his head and asked puzzled.
"Where's the strength?"
"That's it...... It's fast and lethal...... Don't you think so? ”
Wang Wei certainly doesn't think so.
Zhou Wu's speed, strength, and lethality are inferior to Wang Wei's - this is still in the case of Wang Wei's lack of development, this grade is very strong for Wang Yuwei, but for Wang Wei, it is obviously not up to the standard of strength.
But......
Comparing Wang Wei with Zhou Wu is itself an unfairness.
Not to mention anything else, the punches that Zhou Wu showed alone were indeed beyond Wang Yu's reach.
Shaking his head, Wang Wei could only blame the opponent for being too weak to stimulate Zhou Wu's fighting spirit and fighting spirit, thinking like this in his heart, and soon, Wang Wei's footsteps stopped.
Because someone had already found Zhou Wu, ready to satisfy Wang Wei's curiosity.
……
"You're the one who killed Luo?"
Zhou Wu had just dodged away, and before he took two steps, he was blocked.
The person who came was dressed in a military uniform, about thirty, who was not Ed's deputy Wolf Xing?
After separating from Ed, Wolf Xing flew directly back to the barracks.
Originally, Wolf Xing thought that the soldiers and strong men in the barracks were enough to deal with the invaders, but the situation that appeared in front of him surprised Wolf Xing.
The enemy was only about fifty people.
But the individual combat power is completely above the strong in the barracks - the most inferior, there is also an A-level strength standard.
A-level, and even S-level superpowers, are not taken seriously by Wolf Xing, but when Zhou Wu slapped the SS-level Luo to death, Wolf Xing knew that this time, he was in big trouble.
The loyalty to Ed in his heart and the instinct of a soldier made Wolf Xing step away and took the initiative to block Zhou Wu's way.
Internally, I constantly assess the threat level of the person in front of me.
"Flesh Enhancement Superpower, the strength rating is tentatively SSS level...... Where did Lin Hua find such a guy? ”
Zhou Wu's ability to reach the SSS-level standard was obviously unexpected, and after thinking about it, Wolf Xing decisively changed his tactics.
"What Lin Hua gave you, we will double."
Sue for peace.
Now that Ed is about to do something, stabilizing this group of people and reducing variables is a good strategy.
Zhou Wu couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Wolf Xing, a light of thought flashed in his eyes.
He's pondering the viability of this path – and it's not low.
But......
"Kill him."
Behind him, Wang Wei's voice came into his ears, and Zhou Wu smiled bitterly and spread his hands to Wolf Xing.
"I can't be the master of this."
"So you'd better die."
The voice fell, and Zhou Wu opened his legs again.
And this time, Zhou Wu lived up to the light wind just now, and his person moved, like a rocket in the air, bringing a violent sonic boom and violent air currents.
Like a disemboweled missile, the air flow pushed Zhou Wu, and Zhou Wu raised his fists and smashed straight at Wolf Xing.
The white flames erupted instantly, turning into a flame shield that was pinched into the hand of Wolf Xing, and his fists intersected with the shield, making a "bang" explosion.
The air waves were set off layer by layer, shaking the entire military camp like an earthquake.
This blow.
Zhou Wu gritted his teeth.
Wolf Xing's wrist trembled.
It seems to be a dead end.
Until the word "Breaking the Demon" came out of Zhou Wu's mouth.
The light of his fists flashed, and the flame shield was directly stabbed like papier-mâché, and Zhou Wu's punch smashed into Wolf Xing's chest without hindrance, opening a hole-sized bowl.
However.
Wolf Xing, whose heart was shattered, did not spit blood and died on the spot, white flames filled his wounds, and the bleeding was instantly stopped.
Zhou Wu even faintly heard the sound of a heart pacing.
Grown?
Or did you re-personify a new heart with that white flame?
Zhou Wu didn't know.
The blazing white flame stream was spit out by Wolf Xing and smashed directly on Zhou Wu's face, however, the moment he was about to be attacked, Zhou Wu spit out the word again.
"Immunity."
The cheeks are like mirrors.
The white flame stream collided on Zhou Wu's face, and the smooth split was split in two, unable to burn off a single hair of Zhou Wu's hair at all.
Break the devil and specialize in all kinds of bells and whistles.
Immunity to all energy attacks.
Although Zhou Wu only used the simple to crude attack method of punching straight from beginning to end, breaking the demon and avoiding the demon still gave Zhou Wu the absolute upper hand in the battle.
"That's it?"
Wang Wei was not satisfied.
At this level, to say that it can overwhelm Huang Taiji, it is obviously a fool's dream.
But unfortunately, Wolf Xing couldn't force Zhou Wu to have more hole cards.
When the flame stream had just crossed, Zhou Wu had already stretched out his hand.
His ten fingers opened, like iron pincers, grabbed Wolf Xing's shoulders, this moment, Wolf Xing only felt that his superpower was completely locked in his body, his body was crispy and numb, and he couldn't react at all.
"Over-the-shoulder fall!"
Raising Wolf Xing's arm, Zhou Wu twisted his body and threw it wildly, and his strong waist force instantly threw Wolf Xing over his shoulders and smashed it on the ground.
"Boom".
Wolf Xing's whole body was deep in the dirt.
The numbness and pain surged in, and even with the iron will of the wolf, he couldn't help but exhale in pain.
However, Zhou Wu's combo did not end here.
"Smash Kick."
Raise your foot and kick diagonally.
The aesthetics of the moves are decent, and the real-world practitioner can reach this level after practicing for two years.
With the physical fitness of the reincarnator and the increase in Zhou Wu's internal force, it was expected that one blow would blow up Wolf Xing's head.
The white arrogance rose, and Wolf Xing's head seemed to want to recondense, while Zhou Wu just squatted and walked with his fists on his waist.
The murmur sounded again.
"Seriously punch and break the demon."
Simple straight punches.
The fist wind swept over Wolf Xing and completely extinguished the fire of life on Wolf Xing......
"It's kind of interesting......"
Wang Wei muttered, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Zhou Wu killed Wolf Xing, obviously expected, after the end of the battle, Zhou Wu didn't take a breath, obviously there was nothing wrong.
The whole process of the battle is a one-sided crushing, the battle between Zhou Wu and Wolf Xing is like a person who practices martial arts beating an otaku, whether it is a routine or basic strength, the two are not on the same level.
And the level of Zhou Wu's performance ......
In the eyes of the average person, it may be the same thing.
But Wang Wei did see something different.
"Innate rule power controller."
That's right, this sentence can easily summarize the characteristics of Zhou Wu.
Every hit he hits contains a wonderful power of rules.
It's not acquired.
It's innate.
Demon Breaker and Demon Immunity are indeed skills or talents, but they are skills and talents with the power of rules.
Its judgment level is so high that it is immune, except for those who control the power of the rules.
And that simple over-the-shoulder fall, as long as the grasp is successful, it will inevitably be released successfully - the moment after the grab, Wolf Xing's ability is completely blocked, and his body reaction is completely isolated, he can only let Zhou Wu do it like a broken sack, without the slightest ability to resist.
This is close to the power of rules.
The final serious punch and demon breaking directly extinguished the fire of Wolf Xing's life - this move is a real lore.
Even if he doesn't use the rule horizon, Wang Wei can see that this move contains a powerful lethal judgment.
The controller of the power of the non-rules, as long as he is hit, a life will probably be explained like this.
"It's very ordinary."
Wang Yuwei witnessed the whole battle, but gave such an evaluation.
Just now, Wang Yuwei said that Zhou Wu is very strong, which means that Zhou Wu's basic quality is very strong - killing SS-level superpowers in seconds, this strength is obviously not polite.
But Wang Yuwei, who witnessed Zhou Wu's fighting style throughout the whole process, changed his evaluation of Zhou Wu at this moment.
Because he didn't play well.
Turning over and over is the combat means of some ordinary people, although the strength is a little bigger, the speed is a little faster, but it gives people the feeling that it is not explosive and eye-catching, just mediocre.
That's right.
Mediocre.
Wang Yuwei and Wang Wei's evaluation of Zhou Wu was reversed after the two wars, and Wang Wei thought about it carefully, and he also felt that Zhou Wu's strength and fame were not quite compatible.
You have to say that he can suppress Huang Taiji and Chen Qiu, and he can also ......
But this has to be built in a one-on-one environment.
But where the battlefield is a little more complicated, it is difficult for this kind of single strong person to compete with the complete army master.
"Abba Abba ......"
The warrior suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Wang Wei and the others, watching the warrior make a gesture, it took a long time for Wang Wei to understand what the warrior wanted to say.
"What do you mean...... Is he an ancient stream? ”
The warrior nodded, and was silent.
Turning his head to look at Zhou Wu again, Wang Wei also knew in his heart - Zhou Wu's footwork and hand-to-hand combat level were obviously not low.
"He's still a practitioner...... When he fought against that SSS-level superpower just now, Zhou Wu's strength in the exercises he showed was quite good. ”
After Wuxue finished speaking, he added again: "Better than me." ”
Ancient flow, exercise flow.
In other words, it is the pinnacle of skills, the pinnacle of exercises.
"By the way, speaking of which, some time ago, Uncle Duobao came to my house for dinner, saying that Zhou Wu, this kid, is very promising in the refining department, and some time ago Zhou Wu officially worshiped under the Duobao Sect."
Prop flow ......
In other words, the pinnacle of equipment.
The previous generation of cultivators was the powerhouse of this way - invincible in a super god costume, even if other enhancements were lacking, with high-quality equipment and a large number of disposable items, this genre could reach some kind of peak.
Abilities, classes, bloodlines.
Zhou Wu didn't show it.
But even so, Wang Wei also had a rough guess about Zhou Wu's strengthening path.
"Is this a reincarnation of the whole genre strengthened?"
"All-rounder?"
Almighty means mediocrity.
In fact, it is not uncommon for reincarnators of the all-genre enhancement class to occupy the majority of the park.
Most of the reincarnators of this generation will follow this path - distribute resources roughly and evenly among the various enhancements, although mediocre and lack of potential, they will have a comfortable early life.
It stands to reason that this genre is simply crooked - for a strong person like Wang Wei, if you don't go to a certain extreme, you don't even have the qualifications to be a chess piece on the chessboard.
But that doesn't mean it's a no-brainer.
Such as Wang Wei.
If you don't count the power of rules, Wang Wei's path is the pinnacle of his profession, but he also minored at the pinnacle of skills—that is, the ancient stream.
Even Wang Wei's resources can only major in one minor and one minor, and this kind of plan is not feasible in Wang Wei's opinion.
But Zhou Wu seemed to do just that.
And it's not bad.
"Why did he go this way?"
"What is the purpose of cultivating him?"
Although the strength shown by Zhou Wu now is not at all up to grade compared with Wang Wei, this does not prevent Wang Wei from diverging his thinking and delving into the connotation.
Until now.
Wang Wei has found out.
Every step of Ying Xiao did not seem to be meaningless, and therefore, he could conclude that the existence of Zhou Wu must be justified.
Thinking to no avail, just a moment later, Wang Wei and his party had already walked to the edge of the sinkhole.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Wu also came to the vicinity of Wang Wei and the others, Wang Wei smiled and gave Zhou Wu a thumbs up, which seemed to affirm Zhou Wu's strength, and Zhou Wu also smiled shyly at this.
Low-key, doesn't like to be in the limelight, is humble and has a good temper.
This kind of character is very likable.
"Let's do it together."
Wang Wei extended an invitation to Zhou Wu, and after Zhou Wu nodded, he saw Wang Wei take a step forward and fall straight towards the depths of the pit like a free fall.
Wang Yuwei, the soldiers, Wuxue and others followed closely, and even Ashin was carried by the bodyguards and fell into the pit.
There was a shouting from Ashin in the pit, and Zhou Wu saw this and followed without hesitation.
The gale blew past him and fell for more than a minute, and Wang Wei's eyes flashed.
"This way."
After speaking, Wang Wei turned and landed on a high platform deep underground.
Everyone converged here again, the fire spreading from the ground, and the surrounding stones emitting red light, provided a light source here, the waves of heat gushed in, Ashin couldn't breathe, but after Wuxue swung his sword and used the ice sword array, Ashin's state was much better.
Lend an hear.
You can hear a faint explosion inside the tunnel, as if someone is fighting.
"It's supposed to be Ed, right?"
Wuxue made an inference, Wang Wei smiled and said.
"Just look at it."
