Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1014: Chapter 880: Charge In

Talina is a Supreme sent by the Anomalous Management Division, who has studied the combat styles of Rhodiola rosea and Ran Bingluan.

Setting aside various characteristics, the Anomalous Management Division has a consensus: when these two make a move, they rarely affect the innocent.

This phenomenon... how should I put it? Actually, it’s not uncommon.

There are many Supremes who view human lives as ants, but there are some who care about the lives of ordinary people.

With this understanding, the Anomalous Management Division has long elevated the risk prediction for these two teams.

The former seems very vicious but can only be considered extremely malevolent; when encountering someone fiercer, they might kneel instantly.

Whereas the latter looks stubborn, yet they usually have a persistent worldview, even possessing their own beliefs!

Is it easier to deal with a vicious enemy or one with beliefs... does this answer need consideration?

So Talina believes that if she were attacked, the most likely assault would come from the same plane.

Secondly, it would be an attack from above, which makes it easier to locate the direction.

The least likely would be an attack from below upward; upward assaults naturally have a higher difficulty and are prone to inadvertently injure others!

However, she overlooked one thing: the first floor has already started clearing!

Talina didn’t deliberately defend against such attacks, but that doesn’t matter much, the difference isn’t substantial.

The dire situation was that just as the attack commenced, the mall experienced a blackout.

Although the light intensity just decreased, the instant change from bright to dark creates a significant visual disparity.

Of course, Talina is well-trained and battle-hardened, so these factors wouldn’t affect her greatly.

However, in battles between experts, every slight advantage can turn into a victory!

Moreover, the opponent’s power is stronger than hers, so these two small delays already seal her fate.

Talina possesses the Water Attribute, and while browsing the mall, she hadn’t armored herself—how humiliating it would be for a Supreme.

Yet beside her was an A-level Earth Attribute, intermittently bestowing her with a Rock Armor.

Talina didn’t stop him from doing so—it’s just the subordinate pleasing her, not her armoring herself.

However, at this critical juncture, her first reaction is to evade and armor herself.

This is the instinct of elite warriors—moving in any direction is wise, staying put is foolish.

Yet, just as she dodged ten meters away, she felt a heavy thud in her head.

Members of the Anomalous Management Division are extravagantly wealthy—primarily because the division has funds, and they are equipped comprehensively.

Sensing the opponent’s strong Spiritual Power, Talina is already wearing Spiritual Armor!

But even then, she couldn’t entirely dodge the opponent’s Spiritual Attack. This strike felt comparable to Balrog!

Suffering this strike, her not-yet-formed Ice Armor dissipates again.

Yet at the same time, she realizes who the opponent is—an Earth Attribute with formidable Spiritual Power, who else could it be?

Due to the Spiritual Attack, her evasive action was interrupted, and she fell headlong to the ground.

With this impact, her head made a large dent in the floor, but luckily she didn’t fall to the next floor.

Supremes have thick skin and flesh, so Talina wasn’t harmed.

But her expression changed slightly, for she realized: escaping today would be difficult!

Members of the Anomalous Management Division excel not only in causing trouble but are individual elites with unique strengths.

Others might think that the opponent’s ambush is shameful and feel the need to counter and even plan a comeback.

But Talina knows clearly, chances of her being doomed are high.

So she just screamed desperately, "It’s Rhodiola rosea!"

Before finishing her words, Qu Jianlei launched another Spiritual Attack.

Compared to over a year ago, he has made significant progress.

He sensed that the opponent had Spiritual Armor, but what of it?

Portable Spiritual Armor is rare in itself, and those that can withstand his Spiritual Power are even rarer.

In the next moment, his body flickered several times, evaded two obstructors, and reached Talina’s side.

This maneuver... how should I say it? It’s quite impressive, but almost dismissive of others.

Beside Talina were many elite guards, with two A-level ones within five meters.

But what of it? He forcefully resisted their attacks.

In fact, when Qu Jianlei charged forward, Talina hadn’t entirely lost consciousness.

He flashed to her front, raised his hand, and decisively slashed her head off.

Then, amidst numerous attacks, he bent down to pick up two Storage Talismans, flickered, and vanished from sight.

Truly... very dismissive of everyone.

Ultimately, only one sentence echoed in everyone’s mind, "Not treating me seriously, huh?"

Afterward, another A-level rushed in, "What... is going on?"

Talina brought at least six A-levels—this is a notable feature of the Anomalous Management Division, which boasts a large number of A-level Awakened.

She’s done quite a bit of preparation, but failed to guard against this unexpected strike.

There’s really no way to justify this; you should know, even when Talina’s head fell, her consciousness was still clear.

If a Supreme can’t protect themselves while fully conscious, on what grounds can they blame others?

In fact, even now, Talina still has awareness, and her head is on the ground, opening and closing her mouth.

The voice is muffled, but the general meaning can be heard, "Stop chasing, you’re not a match."

"Hurry up, hurry and notify the division, this person can only..."

Unfortunately, as she was saying this, she slipped into unconsciousness.

Instead of directly rushing out of the mall, Qu Jianlei first found a blind spot in the surveillance and changed clothes before slipping away.

At the same time, seventy to eighty kilometers away, Qinghu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Hmm?"

For a Supreme, this distance feels almost like it’s right in front of them, and she can perceive abnormal elemental fluctuations in a certain direction.

Just as she was puzzled, the terminal in her hand lit up, showing a cartoon smiling face.

Not far from her, a female A-level Awakened stepped forward, wanting to see the content on the terminal.

Qinghu backhanded a slap, directly knocking the woman out, and spoke coldly, "Did you think that was polite?"

The A-level woman was also a member of the Anomalous Management Division, and her noisy demeanor had long been an eyesore for Qinghu.

Another Watcher, a B-level from the military, took two steps back, his face full of caution.

"You can go back now," Qinghu said blandly, "seeing as you’ve been respectful to me, I won’t act against you."

"But..." the B-level hesitated for a moment, speaking, "where are you going?"

"You... might as well lie down too," Qinghu sent out a Spiritual Attack, directly knocking the woman unconscious.

In the next moment, she looked warily in a direction and asked in a deep voice, "Who’s there?"

"Rhodiola rosea’s people," Flower Scorpion appeared, waving her hand at her, "Come with me!"

Qinghu closely followed her, and the other’s speed was not much slower than this Supreme.

After chasing for more than ten steps, she realized, "So fast... you’re the Wind Attribute at Niaoming Stream?"

"Hurry up," Flower Scorpion, however, was quite casual toward this Supreme, lacking the respect that was due.

Indeed, she had her own reasons, "Today is the fourth day, and there are at least a dozen people watching you nearby."

Qinghu instantly realized, in the past few days when she went out, there were indeed few people following, but every day like this, it’s no wonder others weren’t puzzled.

"So how do we go now?"

"See the woods ahead?" Flower Scorpion said coldly, "Charge in!"

"It’s useless," Qinghu’s feet were still accelerating, but her heart was starting to sink a little, "The sky is full of satellites!"

This isn’t an exaggeration; Celestial Hook’s surveillance system is comprehensive. Once locked on, there’s no escaping.

"Get into the woods first," Flower Scorpion exerted force with her feet, her figure becoming more elusive.

The woods were only five or six kilometers away, and with the two of them rushing with all their might, it only took about a minute.

It was already near evening now, but the visibility was still acceptable.

Despite their extremely fast and elusive figures, they were still locked onto by the satellites above after twenty seconds or so.

Such a fast reaction speed is not only due to the Empire’s high technology but also the attention from the military.

Qinghu was originally a high-profile house arrest subject, and going out several days in a row during a sensitive period made her even more conspicuous.

As Flower Scorpion said, although Qinghu had knocked two people out, at least a dozen more were still watching nearby.

These people didn’t dare to obstruct a Supreme, but they quickly relayed the information back, and the satellites in the sky immediately mobilized.

In comparison, after Qu Jianlei slipped out of the mall, the satellites didn’t immediately lock onto him.

However, even if the satellites were tracking Qinghu and the two of them, they couldn’t do anything to them in the short term.

On the near-earth orbit of Celestial Handle, there are space-based weapons, including unmanned starships patrolling and small fixed space fortresses.

But this kind of thing can’t be used casually, primarily because the two... are not guilty enough to be killed!

Qinghu, in particular, is a Supreme, and speaking from the government process, there are a series of procedures to handle for actively attacking a Supreme.

Moreover, space-based weaponry can’t precisely control the force of the attack; what if it kills someone? Who would be responsible for the consequences?

Most critically, the approval process for using space-based weapons is stringent.

The current era is a time of peace, not military exercise; space-based weapon attacks on a Habitable Star... the nature of this isn’t just serious!

In about a minute, the two charged into the dense woods, and the satellites became ineffective.

The Military Region does have warships ready to launch and search.

However, a problem still exists; this secondary alert primarily serves the Military Region for defense and automatically initiates a counterattack when attacked.

But if they want to go on the offensive... there are still layers of approvals to go through. The military, being a massive weapon, naturally can’t be deployed casually.

There are Supremes in the Military Region, but they have other concerns.

The incident in the mall has already been communicated, and no matter what, the matter of Talina being assassinated is far more important than Qinghu’s escape.

In fact, it’s not just about capturing Qinghu; whether it should intercept Talina as well is up for debate.

The Rhodiola rosea team is not only ruthless but also very bold, what if they’ve set up an ambush?
