#186 - Is he God?
Chapter 186: Is He a God?
Although Zhao Zheng only used 50% of his strength in that punch, the destruction it caused was still terrifying.
Since it was in the wilderness, there wasn't much to destroy, so on the surface, it didn't seem like much.
However, cracks of varying sizes appeared on the ground within a ten-mile radius!
Oh, right.
And those dozen or so nomads, no matter what abilities they had in life, no matter how powerful, after death, not even ashes remained…
Those cyberpunk-style vehicles were also mostly destroyed.
The only one that was completely intact was the heavy truck that had been modified.
After Zhao Zheng's extremely destructive power appeared, the woman on the roof used her telekinetic power to form a barrier, which actually blocked Zhao Zheng's destruction and protected the truck and herself.
The woman slowly ascended, floated up, and then flew from the roof to Zhao Zheng.
Her flying speed was very slow, and she couldn't compare with Zhao Zheng at all.
However, her presence was very imposing, like a god descending to earth.
In addition, this woman was not as dirty as those nomads and survivors, her clothes were brand new, and her hair was clean and tidy, obviously she washed frequently.
Zhao Zheng's heart stirred when he saw this.
He knew that the heavy truck must have been modified into a motorhome, with water inside for frequent showers.
Otherwise, this woman couldn't possibly stay so clean.
Although this woman looked like a woman from peaceful times, she was very ugly, with a thick waist and large bones, like a man, and she was also relatively old, looking at least thirty-five years old or older.
When this woman landed in front of Zhao Zheng, she didn't act immediately.
"You brought that one-armed bitch here, so my younger brother, Little Tiger, is already dead in your hands?"
The woman went straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Little Tiger?" Zhao Zheng asked, "Is he the ugly one with triangular eyes, a face full of wrinkles, and a bit of an underbite? The one who can grow bigger?"
The woman's face darkened.
Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "If you're talking about that guy, then he's definitely dead, and he died miserably, mainly because his self-healing ability was very good, so I played with him for a long time."
Hearing this, a flash of murderous intent flashed in the woman's eyes, and her fists clenched.
She could imagine that her younger brother must have died miserably.
But she wouldn't think about how unjustly those survivors who fell into the hands of her and her brother died?
Just when Zhao Zheng thought that this woman was about to attack, he heard the woman speak again.
"We can cooperate! As long as the two of us cooperate, this world will be ours!"
She proposed cooperation entirely because the destructive power that Zhao Zheng had just displayed in that punch frightened her.
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Sorry, I feel disgusted just looking at an ugly woman like you, and I just want to smash your disgusting face as soon as possible."
Such a public humiliation would make anyone angry.
The woman's face changed drastically.
Even if she weighed the pros and cons in her heart, she couldn't bear to hear these words.
"Then you all die!!!"
The woman roared angrily, suddenly raised her right hand, pointed it at Zhao Zheng, and made a grasping gesture.
Instantly!
An invisible and powerful energy acted on Zhao Zheng.
Telekinesis!
As the woman slowly clenched her fist, the pressure of telekinesis became heavier and heavier.
The ground around Zhao Zheng collapsed, which was the woman's leaked power.
But Zhao Zheng himself stood on the spot, remaining motionless.
Apart from the clothes on his body becoming tight, he didn't react at all.
Even Zhao Zheng had a smile on his face.
"Is this your telekinesis? Or were you not full before? Can you add a little more strength? It's not even enough to tickle me!"
Hearing this, the woman was shocked and quickly took a few steps back.
Through that punch just now, she knew that this man's destructive power was very strong, but she didn't expect that Zhao Zheng's body was also so indestructible?
What kind of monster is this?
Then.
The woman gritted her teeth and raised her hands.
Behind her, two slightly damaged modified pickup trucks slowly floated up.
"Ah!"
The woman shouted, and her hands suddenly merged and gathered.
Under her control, the two pickups also flew towards Zhao Zheng at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, crashing into Zhao Zheng.
This time, Zhao Zheng still didn't dodge…
"Boom!"
A violent collision sounded.
Zhao Zheng was completely swallowed by the two pickup trucks.
The survivors who had just been rescued in the distance were all frightened when they saw this scene.
Only Song Haitang was calm.
"Sister Yue, your friend…"
"Don't worry, he's fine."
Song Haitang said.
Zhao Zheng was indeed fine.
When the two pickup trucks separated and landed, they revealed Zhao Zheng, who was unscathed.
Although the two pickups were severely deformed, Zhao Zheng didn't even mess up his hairstyle…
"You…"
The woman was shocked.
Her younger brother, Little Tiger, also had a very strong defense, and he was the strongest existence among all the nomads. He was often used by her as a meat shield to fight against monsters.
But even Little Tiger couldn't withstand the attack just now.
Why was this young man okay?
Was he invulnerable?
Faced with such an enemy, the woman was at a loss for a while.
"What? Do you feel helpless?"
Zhao Zheng seemed to see through the woman and said, "Then get ready, it's my turn to attack."
As soon as he finished speaking.
He directly threw a punch.
Fist wind impact!
This time, Zhao Zheng used 100% of his strength for the fist wind impact.
The reason why he didn't use other more powerful abilities was because Zhao Zheng was afraid of damaging the heavy truck in the distance…
"Pa!"
Along with the violent air explosion, the void in front of him visibly deformed severely.
A violent air cannon appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, rushing and killing everything in front of him with the force of a thousand jun.
The woman's face changed drastically, and she quickly used her strongest telekinetic power to form a barrier in front of her to protect herself.
Although she reacted in time.
But the gap between the strengths of the two sides was too great.
Therefore, the woman was directly blown away by the fist wind impact.
"Thump!"
The woman fell heavily to the ground, was thrown into a daze, and her whole body was in severe pain.
If she hadn't used the telekinetic barrier in time to protect herself, she would have been torn apart by the gale.
From this point of view, her telekinetic power was indeed good.
Her comprehensive strength was estimated to reach the sixth level.
At this time.
Zhao Zheng suddenly stomped his foot.
The power of "Demon God Descending" instantly transmitted from the ground, and then suddenly exploded on the ground under the woman.
Boom!
With this woman at the center, the ground within a ten-meter radius was pulverized, directly forming a circular wasteland.
The woman, right in the explosion's epicenter, was instantly blasted into the air.
When she landed again, she was covered in blood, missing limbs, and instantly dead.
Meeting Zhao Zheng meant only being crushed!
In the distance.
The survivors who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded and stunned.
In their eyes, the nomadic leader, who was as powerful as a god, had died just like that?
They even had a dreamlike feeling of unreality…
At this moment.
Suddenly, someone screamed: "Look at the sky over there… What is that?"
"Crap! It's a flock of mutated crows!!"
Someone exclaimed in horror.
Hearing that it was a flock of mutated crows, the faces of all the survivors changed drastically.
Everyone looked up and, sure enough, saw a huge "red cloud" in the sky rapidly approaching.
And that red cloud was composed of mutated red crows.
They resembled crows in appearance but were larger, with sparse feathers revealing large patches of red flesh, only the feathers on their wings were relatively dense.
Most terrifying were their beaks, long and sharp, like blades.
A massive army of mutated red crows, blotting out the sky, was endless!
"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
"Run? This is the wilderness; where can we run to?"
"It's useless, even if we could run, we can't outrun them…"
"It's over, we're finished!"
All the survivors looked desperate, their faces ashen.
Even Song Haitang frowned, her pretty face solemn.
Teacher Shen had lectured the students about mutated red crows.
In fact, a single mutated red crow wasn't difficult to deal with, but the problem was that these monsters appeared in flocks.
Whenever mutated red crows appeared, it was always a large group; there were never any stragglers.
And the destruction caused by a group of mutated red crows was terrifying!
Their beaks could pierce armored vehicles.
Even powerful ability users would die if they encountered them.
In Teacher Shen's words, if you encountered this kind of thing, unless you could hide underground, you had to immediately choose to return, then find cover and pray you could last ten seconds without dying.
The most foolish behavior was to stay and fight.
The likely outcome would be to be "pierced by ten thousand arrows" and die in agony.
Mutated red crows were one of the more common monster types in this world and also one of the most troublesome.
They had organs similar to bats and could locate and perceive their surroundings through ultrasonic echoes.
The battle here must have attracted these beasts.
Thinking of this, Song Haitang quickly shouted: "Zhao Zheng!!"
Zhao Zheng had already noticed the arrival of the mutated crow flock.
Hearing Song Haitang's shout, he understood her meaning.
The girl was asking him if he wanted to choose to return!
"Don't worry, Haitang, leave it to me!"
Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
He had killed two batches of this kind of thing in the skies over the Pacific Ocean before.
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Song Haitang immediately calmed down.
She definitely trusted Zhao Zheng unconditionally.
Actually, she had the Flare-Flare Fruit ability and could also deal with the mutated crow flock.
She could just set a big fire to burn them.
However, there were too many mutated red crows; unless she could become elemental, she couldn't handle it right now and could only leave it to Zhao Zheng.
Of course, Song Haitang didn't just stand there; she immediately said to the survivors: "All of you, squat down!"
As soon as her voice fell.
Song Haitang stood in front of the survivors, flames igniting in her hands.
The survivors, hearing this, knew to entrust their hopes to this young couple of ability users and squatted down.
Standing was too big of a target; squatting would definitely be better.
As for why not just lie down?
Lying down would make it inconvenient to move; if the mutated red crows rushed over, they could only wait for death.
…
A moment later.
As the mutated crow flock approached, the dense, endless numbers practically covered the entire sky.
It was suffocating!!
Only now did Zhao Zheng slowly ascend into the air.
When he flew to about the same height as the mutated crow flock, Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes and then suddenly opened them.
Haoshoku Haki!!
Instantly!
A violent aura erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire sky like a hurricane.
In an instant, the world seemed to be dyed crimson, with lightning and thunder.
The lightning was also crimson, looking very eerie.
At this moment, Zhao Zheng's figure became incomparably tall and majestic in the eyes of the survivors, like the king of gods.
They felt very small and even had the urge to kneel and worship.
The mutated red crows, directly impacted by the Haoshoku Haki, were as if struck by lightning, frozen in mid-air.
The next moment.
They began to fall from the sky one by one, crashing to the ground.
Because their numbers were too large.
For a time.
The sky seemed to be raining…
…
"Haitang, some of them might not be dead; come finish them off and set them on fire!"
After Zhao Zheng landed, he said these words.
Mainly because his Haoshoku Haki wasn't strong enough to kill these mutated monsters.
If it was like Shanks, possessing max-level Haoshoku Haki, then there would definitely be no need to finish them off.
Song Haitang nodded upon hearing this, stepped forward, and released flames.
Although the mutated red crows were scattered all over the ground, setting fire to the ground was much easier than setting fire to the sky.
Soon, under Song Haitang's ability, the entire battlefield turned into a sea of fire.
Next.
It was time to clean up the battlefield!
Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang's mission this time wasn't to kill monsters but to survive.
Since it was about survival, then as long as they were alive, there were no fixed goals or things to do.
Song Haitang had a kind heart and wanted to see these survivors through to the end, escorting them to the Thunder God Shelter in Hancheng.
Of course, she needed Zhao Zheng's approval.
And Zhao Zheng had no objections.
Anyway, he had nothing to do right now.
The survivors, receiving the news, immediately became excited.
With two such powerful ability users escorting them, their safety on the way to Hancheng would be increased many times over.
Originally, this trip was a nine-death-one-life situation (which was also true; without Zhao Zheng's timely appearance, they would have been dead).
Now, they were very confident that they could successfully reach Hancheng on this trip.
So, everyone started moving, looking for useful supplies to prepare for the journey.
…
Half an hour later.
Everyone set off together.
Zhao Zheng, Song Haitang, Han Minna, and others all got into the heavy truck.
His previous guess was correct; the heavy truck had indeed been converted into a camper, with a bathroom, sofa, bed… everything.
