Chapter Thirty-Eight: Deterrence

In fact, when he and Ren Hao first met, Xia Jian had already seen that Ren Hao had such a mind!

Even Xia Jian still knew the way......

At the beginning, Ren Hao simply wanted to keep himself, and it was completely good!

When Xia Jian used thunderous means to get rid of the kid named Hu Aibing outside, Ren Hao began to have some other thoughts!

And this thought is not a bad thought!

The only thing that surprised Xia Jian a little was ......

Originally, he thought that Ren Hao and the others didn't notice their own hidden crisis!

Unexpectedly, Ren Hao had already noticed it, and he hit himself with the idea after the most reluctance!!

……

"Hehe......"

Xia Jian chuckled and shook his head......

Xia Jian's move suddenly made Ren Hao, Li Mengru, who was already eavesdropping in the kitchen, have a little heart hanging!

They think that Xia Jian wants to refuse!

Didn't think about it......

"It's impossible to stay, brother, I'm coming back this time, there's something else to do!"

"But ......"

Speaking of this, Xia Jian's tone changed: "Stay here for a few days, help the old man learn the time for you to support the façade, brother, I still have it!" ”

Xia Jian agreed!

Its refreshment far exceeded Ren Hao's expectations......

So much so that after a long time, Ren Hao couldn't come back to his senses......

What followed was the ultimate excitement and excitement, so much so that for a while. Ren Hao simply hung there, just looked at Xia Jian gratefully, and didn't know what to say!

But there was no time. Let Ren Hao say something......

A sudden change suddenly disrupted this paradise in the last days of the apocalypse, which was originally noisy, but vibrant, and thriving!

…………

The first to break the calm was a sharp, high-pitched burst. Penetrating sirens!

I'd love to hear the kind of air raid sirens that rang over the city from time to time before the Day of Apocalypse......

At the moment when the alarm sounds......

In an instant, it overshadowed all the chaotic sounds in a huge underground space. Spread to every corner of the underground space!

Next Second......

The entire underground space, all the busy people, stopped what they were doing!

Those who were resting also stood up one after another......

Ren Hao is naturally no exception......

in the eyes. A little more dignified and serious!

Only Xia Jian, who had just arrived here. Still confused, I don't know what Lu Dao represents, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao!

"What's wrong?"

Xia Jian subconsciously looked at Ren Hao......

"Shh......h

But what answered him was Ren Hao's silent gesture!

Xia Jian frowned slightly......

Although he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao for the time being, based on the atmosphere in the room that suddenly became solemn, Xia Jian could still be sure. Something bad should have happened!

"Could it be that their sirens can still convey any message?"

See the entire underground space. All the crowd who pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the rhythm of the siren, Xia Jian couldn't help but think so!

…………

Xia Jian's guess was not wrong......

At this time, the alarm that resounded throughout the underground space did convey some information!

And the atmosphere in the entire underground space has become more and more dignified in this process, and even Xia Jian can feel a trace of panic and helplessness from this dignifiedness!

And this emotion is spreading rapidly among the crowd at an extremely alarming speed......

Soon......

Xia Jian found that even Ren Hao and Li Mengru had a trace of nervousness and panic on their faces!

Finally......

After about ten seconds or so, the alarm finally fell silent!

At the same time, in the underground space outside, the crowd of people who were still working or resting rushed out in all directions as fast as they could......

This also includes Li Mengru!!

This woman rushed out of the kitchen, like a gust of wind, and ran into the bedroom at high speed!

Even Ren Hao subconsciously wanted to run into the bedroom......

However, as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Xia Jian, who was quick-eyed......

"Hey! Old classmate, what the hell is going on? “

The situation was special before, Xia Jian was still afraid of disturbing Ren Hao, this time the alarm has been stopped, Xia Jian has no such concerns, of course he has to ask to understand!

It was not until this time, because of the alarm just now, that Ren Hao, who seemed more excited, remembered that there seemed to be a guest in his home!

At the moment, he smiled embarrassedly and quickly explained: "There are other forces that have appeared around our school!" It's been confirmed that it's coming for us......"

"The threat level is the highest level ......"

"We have to prepare for the worst......"

Hearing Ren Hao's explanation, Xia Jian's face was clear, and it was as he expected! Is it finally going to happen?

"And what are you going to do?"

Xia Jian was very curious, in the face of such a huge threat, what kind of coping mechanism Ren Hao would have......

You need to know the way......

Before this, Ren Hao and his settlement, they were planting greenhouse vegetables, making wind turbines, and trading with other things and the surrounding survivors, but these things had already given him a lot of surprises!

As for that threat!

For Xia Jian, who now has king-level strength, it is simply a joke!

But Xia Jian is not in a hurry, Ren Hao is in a hurry!

But Xia Jiandu had already opened his mouth to ask, and Ren Hao couldn't help but answer, so he could only be patient and explain at the fastest speed: "What else can I do?" “

"Women and children transfer ...... first"

"Those of us who have combat effectiveness, let's go up and see the situation first. When the time comes, you can only act at the opportunity! “

"Huh......"

"That's right......"

"You just ......"

Ren Hao finally remembered the identity of the old classmate in front of him, it seems that Xia Jian just admitted that he was an evolutionary!

And Xia Jian agreed just now. Willing to stay and help yourself......

In that case......

"Smack......

Ren Hao slapped his head heavily......

Depend on!

I'm stupid, right, with an evolutionary like Xia Jian who promised to help, what kind of energy are you still flustering?

……

Xia Jian said secretly in his heart: Sure enough!

Ren Hao and the others are really cunning rabbits! They didn't feel safe hiding here, but when they found a hostile force approaching, these people began to plan for the worst. Ready to transfer the old and weak, women and children!

This last days......

It's really a place to sharpen people!

"Hehe......"

At the same time, he smiled indifferently and waved his hand in a very high-spirited manner, "Let's go and prepare first." I'll go up with you and have a look...... later."

“OK! Wait a minute......"

Ren Hao, who got Xia Jian's promise, was full of excitement and ran into the bedroom excitedly......

…………

Next......

Xia Jian once again saw Ren Hao and their small collective. In the face of a sudden crisis. How quick to adapt!

From the sound of the siren......

In less than five minutes, the crowd that had heard the alarm, scattered and disappeared into the underground space gathered together again!

And this time......

Each of them has something on their backs to a greater or lesser extent!!

Then began to form a long queue, and drilled into a diversion passage in an orderly manner......

Of course......

Most of these people who were transferred were old and weak women and children!

And similar to Ren Hao. Men with a certain amount of combat power have all picked up all kinds of homemade weapons. There are those with swords, spears, cold weapons, and some guns such as birds, and they quickly gather to the exit defense line!

Then everyone passed through the exit in turn and came to the bamboo forest outside to start gathering......

The whole process, the time it takes, is less than ten minutes!

This efficiency simply makes Xia Jian ashamed!

It seems that the most elite group of people under his command are not as efficient as them in dealing with this kind of sudden time!

Seemingly......

This person, sure enough, still has to be forced!!

……

At this time, Xia Jian, who had been following behind Ren Hao, also attracted questions from other people in the settlement for the first time!

Several burly men, after the assembly, remained silent and faintly surrounded Xia Jian, and at the same time, Ren Hao was surrounded!

Next, a few more people came over under the support of a group of people......

It's not surprising to think about it......

Xia Jian even thought that these people were really calm enough, and it wasn't until this time that he couldn't help but ask!

Just now, everyone didn't come to investigate Xia Jian's identity, that is everyone's trust in Ren Hao and Li Mengru, I believe that they will give themselves a reasonable explanation, so that they can wait patiently outside and not pursue Xia Jian's identity for the time being!

But this time is different......

At this moment, not far away, a team with unknown friend or foe, positioned as very dangerous, is rapidly approaching!

Perhaps, in a while, there will be a battle with a huge disparity between friend and foe, waiting for everyone!

At this time of life and death, these people will definitely eliminate the unstable factors that may come to their own side!

"Ren Hao, who is this?"

The person who asked was an old man with white temples, more than half a hundred years old, and a Chinese face, which was very unangry and self-imposing, just at a glance, you could see that when he was young, he was definitely an old man!

Go without saying......

This old man, in the entire settlement, must have an unusual status!

It's not just this old man, Xia Jian estimates, I'm afraid that the few people who came together this time all have the same identity as Ren Hao, and they are the managers democratically elected by everyone in this settlement!

"My brother ......"

Ren Hao's answer was very succinct......

even directly used brothers, replacing the title of old classmate used when introducing Xia Jian to Li Mengru before!

No doubt......

The reason why Ren Hao did this. is undoubtedly to emphasize to everyone how close the relationship between himself and Xia Jian is! At the same time, it is also equivalent to making a guarantee to everyone in the change of direction: Xia Jian will not have any problems!

But things obviously don't end like this......

It's not ......

Ren Hao's voice had just fallen. Then another bald man with a burly figure and a big hammer on his shoulder walked out of the crowd menacingly, opened his loud voice, and asked, "Your brother?" Then how can he count the matter of injuring Hu Aibing? Isn't it on your head? “

Hu Aibing is naturally the unlucky ghost who was slightly punished by Xia Jian just now!

And this bald man......

In Ren Hao's previous introduction, Xia Jian had already known that they were a small collective. Although it is very united, this unity only refers to the external forces......

As for the interior......

They are a small collective. can't get rid of the inferior nature of the descendants of Yan and Huang, they like infighting, and they like to gather into small groups, and then these small groups. I like to fight with each other endlessly!

So. There is no need to introduce at all, Xia Jian can also roughly guess that this bald strong man must be the eldest brother of Hu Aibing! This will come over, and he must be here to ask for an explanation for Hu Aibing!

However, for the bald and strong man's Xingshi questioning, Ren Hao has obviously already made a decision!

"Hey ......"

He pouted with a sneer, and said very naturally: "Zhang Ming, you are embarrassed to talk about this!" Want me to say. Just hurt that kid, it's really cheap for him. This is thanks to the magnanimity of you and my brother!! “

"You ......"

Ren Hao's words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the bald strong man, that is, Zhang Ming!

Zhang Ming suddenly blew his beard and glared, glared at Ren Hao angrily, and asked sharply: "What did you say?" Thanks to your brother's magnanimity? So according to what you say, do I have to thank my brother? Thank him for not remembering the villain? ”

What everyone didn't expect was that in the face of Zhang Ming's questioning, Ren Hao really nodded: "Of course!" ”

And what everyone didn't expect is still to come......

After saying this, which seemed unbelievable to everyone, Ren Hao's tone changed, and he said with a serious face: "You must know that Hu Aibing fired the first shot at that time!" Since he has the guts to shoot at an evolutionary, he must be prepared to accept the evolutionary's wrath after shooting!! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an exclamation from the crowd......

"What ......"

"Your Excellency?!"

"Evolutionary ?!!"

As for Zhang Ming, who originally stood up aggressively and wanted to ask for an explanation, his performance was even more unbearable!

As soon as Ren Hao's words fell, he slammed his swing, subconsciously took a few steps back, his face was pale, he looked at Xia Jian incredulously, and said in a trembling voice: "Evolver!" You mean, he's an evolutionary?! “

Seeing everyone at the scene, they all looked at themselves with that kind of suspicious gaze......

Xia Jianzhi said that if he didn't cooperate a little at this time, then the next troubles would definitely be endless......

"Humph......"

Immediately snorted coldly, and under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Xia Jian stretched out his right palm seemingly very casually, and grabbed it in the void!

Next Second......

A flaming red flame appeared out of thin air, and with the movement of Xia Jian's void grip, it suddenly appeared in the palm of Xia Jian's palm!

This extremely mysterious, only exists in myths and legends, and suddenly everyone at the scene immediately grew their mouths, were dumbfounded, and lost the ability to speak for a while!

Even Ren Hao is no exception......

"Hehe......"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xia Jian smiled with satisfaction, laughing quite harmlessly and indifferently......

Since his strength reached the king level, Xia Jian's mentality has been very different from the moment when he just became an evolutionary and became a general-level powerhouse!

At that time......

When meeting some people, Xia Jian subconsciously always has a little bit of a desire to show off!

I always like to play the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

But when Xia Jiancheng became a king-level powerhouse......

Overnight, Xia Jian lost interest in these things! I feel how naïve some of my past actions were!

The reason why Xia Jian has this idea is actually very understandable......

It's like......

Some millionaires, multimillionaires, always like to show off that they have money, but once someone's personal assets reach one billion, ten billion, he looks down on money!

For example: in the world, in front of the ordinary people, those who show off their power are always those low-level, unpopular officials, and people with real status, but they will deliberately restrain their own breath and make people feel approachable!

At this time, Xia Jian is exactly such a mentality......

Showing off his strength in front of these ordinary people who are not even the most basic soldier-level evolutionaries, Xia Jian will not have any sense of accomplishment at all! I don't have the heart to hide my strength at all!

Since Ren Hao and the others, even the ordinary, lowest-level soldier-level evolutionaries rarely come into contact with them! Can they still distinguish the gap between soldier-level, general-level, and king-level evolutionaries?

Case......

Since you want to deter them!!

Then just deter them thoroughly, let them be completely convinced!

Thinking of this, Xia Jianxu held the right palm of the elemental flame and waved it casually again......

The flames that were condensed to the extreme suddenly turned into a streamer, and it flew quickly not far away from a big tree that several people could hug together!

Next Second......

Just listening to the sound of "boom ......", the flame, which was originally only the size of a fist, suddenly exploded at the moment it touched the trunk of the big tree, and the fire instantly swelled, spreading to the entire tree at an incredible speed, and the entire tree was shrouded in fire in an instant!

"Suck ......"

Seeing this terrifying scene, a large number of gasps suddenly came from the scene!!

With a wave of his hand, a giant tree that towered into the sky and reached into the sky was annihilated in the scorching sea of fire......

The methods used by Xia Jian are far beyond the scope that Ren Hao and others can understand!

Anyway, it has been more than half a year since everyone entered the end of the world, and the evolutionaries have seen a lot, but everyone on the scene has never heard of such an unbelievable means!!

Everyone kept looking at Xia Jian, and then looked at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger......

For a while, there was only one voice left in everyone's minds: Is this guy still human?
