"You guys seem pretty unfriendly..." Xia Yan scratched his head in annoyance at their behavior.
"Whatever, we're all going to die anyway."
bang bang bang-
Upon hearing this, the American soldiers, realizing that Xia Yan had no intention of surrendering or peaceful coexistence, did not hesitate to open fire.
But the next second, they discovered that Xia Yan's figure had disappeared from the rooftop.
His voice came from another rooftop.
"Did you know that a healthy person can stay in a 50°C environment for two hours and in a 70°C environment for 15 minutes...?"
"I should thank you for clearing out all the irrelevant people in this area. Otherwise, it would have violated my initial principle of only killing three-tenths..."
Xia Yan once again removed the camera clipped to his ear and pointed it at himself.
"To all of you watching my live stream, I have said before that I will rule this country with absolute violence and terror!"
“You may think that what I’m doing is cruel and evil, or an unrealistic delusion.”
"But I personally prefer to call it 'highly efficient'!"
"Of course, they always have another option."
At this point, Xia Yan's eyes turned incredibly cold, as if he were staring at something insignificant, like Wujiwu.
"That means dying."
That surging malice was like boiling, churning black mud.
Even just looking into their eyes through a video call can give you the feeling of your heart stopping from that malevolent gaze.
"So, next——"
"—Witness the miracle!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the temperature in this area, which had just experienced the ravages of war, began to rise sharply.
It quickly reached 90 degrees Celsius.
And above the heads of those American soldiers.
Three suns hung high in the sky! (A Chinese idiom)
Chapter 175 There Must Be a Price for Doing Wrong
Half an hour later, the three fireballs hanging overhead, which resembled the sun, disappeared.
The temperature in this area gradually returned to normal.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just a hallucination in a dream.
but,
The effects of that terrifying temperature lingered, proving that what had just happened was definitely not a dream!
The asphalt, which had melted under the scorching heat, solidified again, becoming ugly and grotesque.
The building's structure changed due to the intense heat, resulting in a large-scale collapse. Only a few buildings remained standing, but they were also on the verge of collapse.
The ground was covered with dry cracks, and there were countless people in camouflage uniforms, fully armed—
Mummified corpse...
Their movements were all frozen in the moment before their death.
Unable to stand due to dehydration or heatstroke, they lay on the ground, struggling to escape the area.
Even though their bodies were dehydrated and their original appearance was no longer visible, one could still clearly see the look of terror on their withered and grotesque faces.
At first glance, it looks like a demon that has escaped from hell.
Viewers in the live stream said,
Mom no longer has to worry about me having nightmares without any material to write about.
Just as Xia Yan was admiring the hellish scroll he had created, several mummies, whose clothing and appearance differed somewhat from those of other American soldiers, began to display IBMs that were invisible to ordinary people.
Then the withered body gradually became plump, and finally looked no different from an ordinary person.
He slowly got up from the ground.
They were demi-humans who were transported to the United States overnight as part of a special observation group.
"Ah, I almost forgot about you guys."
"My fellow demi-humans..."
Xia Yan turned his gaze toward them.
Seven men and one woman.
They all looked at him with fear on their faces, trembling so much they didn't dare to breathe.
"So, what should we do with you?"
puff-
The moment Xia Yan felt his gaze, a male demi-human knelt down in front of him.
"...Please...please forgive me! I was forced into this. Since Lord Xia Yan is also a demi-human, he should be able to understand. If I don't do as they ask, those scum will torture me in every way imaginable!"
"I just can't take it anymore!"
"Because I am a demi-human, I can't even commit suicide to escape..."
As he spoke, he kept kowtowing on the ground.
The force was so great that bloodstains were left on the ground in just two or three blows.
"Me...me too..."
"Me too!!!"
"Red bean paste, Smith & Marseille!!!"
"Lord Xia Yan, please spare me!"
Seeing his smugness, the other demi-humans followed suit, kneeling down and kowtowing repeatedly before Xia Yan.
It gave Xia Yan the feeling of returning to the Qing Dynasty and becoming the emperor.
He is not a person without empathy; after all, he is not a born evil person.
The reason I've developed this somewhat twisted personality is simply to return all the pain the world has inflicted upon me.
Those demi-humans who are captured and used as test subjects generally live in dire straits.
After all, the regeneration of demi-humans and IBM seem to be products from another world, completely unbound by the laws of this world.
Although the phenomenon of critical bodies occasionally occurs, it proves that the IBM of demi-humans can indeed act on ordinary people.
However, there is no way to transform ordinary people into demi-humans and grant them these abilities.
It is a miracle that cannot be replicated.
Therefore, many countries have abandoned their research on demi-humans and instead started treating them as economic animals to generate profits.
The so-called economic animals are like white geese that are overfed and develop fatty livers, or black bears that are kept in captivity and have their bile extracted.
Nobody cares how they feel during this process.
If they were truly tormented and forced to make a choice, Xia Yan could forgive them.
However, there must be a price to pay.
Ignoring the other male demi-humans, he walked straight up to the female demi-human, grabbed her chin, and forcefully lifted her face.
With her thick, long golden hair, this female demi-human didn't have overly defined features like typical Western women; her features were softer and more like those of an Eastern woman.
The redness and abrasions on her forehead were unusually noticeable against her fair skin.
Her dirty little face, coupled with her big, teary eyes, made her look so pitiful.
Xia Yan pinched her chin and turned it left and right a couple of times to get a closer look.
"...She has a face that's very interesting...no, very good-looking."
They then helped the girl up from the ground.
"Her figure looks quite appealing..."
With her face flushed and looking like she was about to cry from being bullied, Xia Yan gave her a more detailed full-body examination, confirmed her various body measurements, and gave her a positive review.
"What's your name?"
"Lola... Lola."
"Lola," Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction, "As the price for being my enemy, from now on you belong to me! Understand!?"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Laura trembled with fear.
Clearly, as a mature woman, she understood the hidden meaning in Xia Yan's words.
Or perhaps the other party had no hidden intentions at all; their impolite actions just now clearly showed that this was neither an implication nor an explicit statement.
It's clearly a message to myself to prepare for Apple.
Could it be that after finally escaping the tragic fate of being a test subject, I've only just escaped one danger only to fall into another?
Must I let others control my entire life?!
Laura was overcome with sadness.
She hasn't even been in a relationship yet, and now she's going to be put in all sorts of positions by this person she's only met once...
No, I must resist this rude impulse!
Laura suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Xia Yan's eyes, and into his face, which was so handsome it transcended racial limitations.
So handsome!
And he's a superman who saved himself from suffering!
It seems like I'm not losing out at all...
