Jiang Li no longer cared whether the Fan Tower would discover him, if he did not make a move, people would suffer and die every second, every minute.
Moreover, Jiang Li did not believe that the Fan Tower was in the third district.
The Fan Tower was an Immortal Artifact, and it also contained Buddhist treasures, it would definitely take action if it saw such a scene.
“Stop! Who’s there!”
Jiang Li dispersed his spell. It was no longer visible only to the Ye siblings. Everyone could now see him. The two enhancers guarding the entrance of the financial conglomerate immediately noticed his presence.
They had to notice. Jiang Li’s dress, appearance, and demeanor were too conspicuous and clashed with the atmosphere of the apocalypse.
“Just a common man.” Jiang Li said coldly.
The two enhancers at the entrance of this financial conglomerate armed with firearms, specifically large-caliber handguns, a single bullet from which could pulverize half of a person’s body.
The two men immediately pulled the triggers.
With two bangs, they maintained their shooting stances, but the bullets were stuck in the barrels and didn’t fire. Their heads exploded like watermelons.
“Sir, the financial conglomerate is backed by Longtu.” Ye Du stuttered a warning to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li said nothing and walked into the building.
Ye Wu kicked her dim-witted brother. Fool. He himself had said he was stronger than a fifth-level enhancer. Here he was playing smart and giving unnecessary reminders.
Rarely did anyone dare to provoke a financial conglomerate so brazenly. More than half of all third-level enhancers worked for these conglomerates. Who in their right mind would come here to create trouble?
The commotion downstairs alerted everyone, but most of them merely laughed it off. Once before, someone relying on their higher skill level had attempted to rob the place and was swiftly subdued by the higher-level enhancers. His eyes were gouged out, his arms severed and he was thrown into a destroyed city to be chased by zombies while the overlords of the financial conglomerate laughed heartily.
As for whether the zombies would evolve after eating this man – that was not a question the tycoons considered.
Jiang Li used his Divine Sense to cover the building. Various documents, experiments, and work records were exhibited before his eyes. Who deserved death and who deserved absolution, he could tell at a glance.
Killing everyone would undoubtedly involve innocent blood. But if he was sparing every second person, some criminals would inevitably slip through the net.
Those upstairs maintained their smiles for quite a lengthy period, still laughing even when death found them.
“Who are you! Who sent you to kill me!” The head of the arms dealer financial conglomerate was shivering with fear upon seeing the murderous Jiang Li, not Imowing how many third level enhancers had died at his hands.
Jiang Li did not answer his question, but just calmly walked towards the head of the arms dealer financial conglomerate.
The man revealed a strange smile and pressed a button. White fog sprayed out from above and beneath Jiang Li.
Boom – –
A massive explosion occurred on the top floor.
“This isn’t white fog, but micro-bombs. They enter your body and cause a chain reaction of explosions.” He clucked his tongue, “Under such an explosion, not even a piece of flesh can be left…”
But his words were abruptly cut off as Jiang Li grasped his neck, causing his face to turn red.
The fourth-level enhancers hiding on both sides saw something was wrong and tried to ambush Jiang Li. But with a mere thought, the two enhancers were beheaded.
Fifth…fifth level…” The head of the arms dealer financial conglomerate looked at Jiang Li in disbelief. There were only five fifth-level enhancers in the world. Where did this sixth one come from?
No, even if he was a fifth-level enhancer, he couldn’t possibly kill two fourth-levels with just a thought…
Before he could finish his thought, his neck was broken by Jiang Li.
Even though he had anticipated it, seeing the once untouchable higher-up tossed aside like a broken cloth sack by Jiang Li, Ye Du felt as if it was all unreal.
That day, Jiang Li successively crushed several financial conglomerates, finally, he stood beneath the skyscraper of the pharmaceutical financial conglomerate.
The enhancers that the Ye siblings had consumed were developed by this conglomerate, although the siblings had only consumed the lowest grade enhancers.
“Is…is that a zombie?”
In one of the laboratories of the skyscraper, Ye Du was dumbfounded by what he saw; strange, freakish zombies soaked in tanks. Some looked like bears but with octopus tentacles for feet, some had two heads, one human and one pig, with a tortoise shell on their back, others had no heads but were all mouths on their limbs.
Humans and animals could both turn into zombies. Ye Wu had no idea what kinds of animals these zombies had been before death.
No, these are humans, and they are still alive.”
“Humans?!” echoed Ye Du and Ye Wu in shock at the scene before them.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the liquid in the tanks looked very familiar, almost like…
“You’re not mistaken, that is the enhancer that you consumed.” Jiang Li said, “The financiers use humans as filters, filtering out the zombie virus in the air to obtain pure spiritual power. To prevent them from turning into zombies, they are injected with numerous medicines, causing their bodies to change from inside out.”
“But… but I heard that enhancers are made by diluting the energy from brain cores.” Ye Du felt like his entire world was upside down.
From his Divine Sense, Jiang Li could see that they did use brain cores here to produce enhancers, but most of them preferred to use human bodies as filters to produce enhancers.
“Because it’s cheaper.”
Ye Du couldn’t believe that answer. How could anyone do such a thing just because it was cheaper?
Jiang Li gently recited a Buddhist chant. The grand, ancient, and dignified sounds made Ye Wu feel like her head was going to burst because of the sheer amount of principles and power it held.
Still, the Buddhist chant was a force of compassion and wouldn’t kill people. Ye Wu merely felt a moment of dizziness.
As the chant came out from Jiang Li’s mouth, the tanks shattered. The oddly-shaped people were enveloped in a golden light. Ye Wu vaguely saw through the golden light that these people were gradually returning to their original forms.
Though he couldn’t revive the dead, Jiang Li could still easily revert these people to their original state.
Ye Wu followed Jiang Li to the top floor where she saw a burly man seated on a soft couch.
A fifth-level enhancer, Longtu.
Ye Wu had thought that Longtu was the patriarch who supported these financial conglomerates but never expected him to be the one controlling the largest of them all!
“Friend, welcome to the Third District.” Longtu laughed heartily, warmly welcoming Jiang Li.
Longtu regarded Jiang Li as a fifth-level enhancer and hence naturally worthy of being his friend.
As for his origin, it didn’t matter. He must either be a nameless strongman from outside the five districts or a lucky third-level enhancer who stumbled upon a fifth-level brain core.
“I’ve heard that it’s because of the financial conglomerates’ wanton exploitation of the common people that you’re enraged. Friend, calm down.
Since we’re both fifth-level enhancers, why quarrel over such trifles?”
In Longtu’s view, Jiang Li might be one of those weaker enhancers who suddenly gained power, but their mental state remains the same as when they were weak, hence they would sympathize with the weak.
As a fifth-level enhancer, Longtu believed it was necessary to guide him and show him how a strongman should behave.
“Don’t tell me we became stronger to kill zombies and restore the original social order, subject to those old rules and regulations? Haha, of course not.
Didn’t we get stronger to enjoy life?”
“Before the apocalypse, I was an underground boxer. I couldn’t show my face.
But here, I am the sky. I’m the king. Who dares defy me?”
“You’re so strong?”
“Wha….”
Longtu hadn’t even had time to react before he was sent flying by a powerful force, spitting up a mouthful of blood.
“You dog-like thing, how dare you speak to me of friendship.”
Jiang Li judged his friendships not on the basis of cultivation level. After all, no one was stronger than him.
He judged friendships solely based on temperament..
