Although he had high resistance, he would die from being hit by a bullet!
And now, with the existence of modern weapons, no metahuman below Class C could take on such weapons.
Which was why Lu Shu felt that these three criminals were dumb for continuing to fight even though they did cause much damage previously.
Even if you want to be unruly, at least wait till you are Class C!
Luo Cheng was adequately prepared towards dealing with these three metahumans, adequate enough to surprise Lu Shu. Two class D men from the heavenly network leading their own teams, and 14 Class Es responsible for the traffic to and fro the South. Additionally, there were numerous policemen supporting the entire operation, they must have classified this issue as one of extremely high priority.
As for the two black coats on the bridge, Lu Shu thought of an explanation as well. Even though the Heavenly Network was adequately prepared, deploying their men early on, they did not have awakened metahumans to train with them for battle experience.
Take Liang Che’s treatment as an example. After giving him a tranquilizer, they brought him back and did not have to put up much of a fight.
With such good control of situations, the people of the Heavenly Network never had much experience with battle, which meant they would make mistakes when they really had to fight.
This was extremely normal.
What if highly experienced team popped up to control awakened metahumans as well as practitioners right at the dawn of the era of rich magical energy? Who would have trained with this team?
There was a saying when units faced a battle in reality- only after weathering a series of battles and hardships would seasoned veterans surface.
But the world was still peaceful now.
Perhaps there were also highly skilled veterans employed by the heavenly network. But compared to their entire organization, there was only a very small number of such individuals.
Lu Shu didn’t guess wrong. The seasoned warriors who really went through battles had already been subject to employment from different organizations. Everyone understood the value of all these experienced men.
At this juncture, the personnel from the Heavenly Network had caught up. Lu Shu tried to conceal himself more, preparing to use his celestial cloak as an escape technique.
That strength-based metahuman was carrying his two comrades, hiding behind some walls in fear and not even revealing his head in fear of snipers. One shot could take his life.
But he couldn’t sit idly either. If he was surrounded by the impending practitioners, it would be impossible for him to escape. It was imperative to know that there were two class D practitioners in that group!
At that instant, this metahuman made an important decision. He exposed the heads of his two comrades, using them as a shield to protect himself as he bolted towards the southwest, as there were many infrastructures there and he could sneak an escape if he made it there.
His two accomplices were in shock and anger. Never did they think that their friend, who earlier swore to go through thick and thin together, would betray them while they were still alive!
Their shouts and curses echoed through the night, just like wailing hungry wolves awaiting impending death.
Everyone was stunned. Even those people who were chasing after these metahumans. They had never faced such a cold-blooded person.
This metahuman… What was he like before awakening? A murderer? A habitual offender?
This scene reminded people of the brutal murderers in news reports, extremely cold-blooded and heartless.
Lu Shu was in even more shock! This guy was heading towards Lu Shu’s hiding spot! Damn it! Lu Shu frantically retreated but having only taken a few steps, that metahuman had already bashed into this small alley!
By now, one of his comrades had already lost his life while the other was struggling for his life, panting and bleeding profusely.
Just when Lu Shu could not be more shocked, that metahuman brutally snapped the neck of his comrade who was still alive seconds ago.
Did he do this to prevent his comrade from taking revenge in future?
Lu Shu suddenly realized that he had underestimated the brutality and possibilities of this evolving world. The impending violence and chaos left Lu Shu extremely unsettled.
If only those people in online forums who argued that the metahumans caused no harm saw this scene… Their perspective would probably take a hundred and eighty-degree turn immediately!
Gaining supernatural abilities within a short span of time, who knew what would happen!
Lu Shu continued to retreat along the alley. He did not want to get embroiled in this mess and had only come to see the situation. He had thought it would be quite a suitable scenario for Lu Xiaoyu to collect some souls after the battle.
The metahuman was dashing frantically towards the small alley with the people from the heavenly network hot on his heels, in a formation planning to surround him.
Everyone who saw the motionless bodies of the other two criminals all had a line of thought. They all knew how cold and brutal their opponent was.

Kill no matter what,
A class D practitioner said calmly. His sword glowed with a bright green light. He bit into his tongue and spat out a glob of blood,
GO!

As the blood landed on the sword, the sword flew towards the criminal like a shooting star. This practitioner stayed rooted at the spot for a moment, there was an evident cost for using that technique. But he had no choice now, he had to use his special technique to prevent the criminal from getting away.
They might be practitioners, but before cultivating their skills, they were educated to protect the country. They were affectionately known as soldiers by the people and now that these three criminals had committed such a crime, they could not allow them to get away under their watch, for they would be the shame of the people!
This move was far from his comfort zone. It was a last-ditch move in the heavenly network which might cost his life. Even if he did not suffer any injuries from it, using this move would cause his skills to deteriorate greatly and his vitality foundations would be damaged, making it hard for him to improve in future.
This was to sacrifice his future for a technique!
The blade soared relentlessly towards the escaping criminal. The green shooting star glowed with vivace, lighting up everything along its way, including the fear in the criminal’s eyes when he turned around to see the sword.
Most bullets could travel faster than sound. But it was difficult to see the bullet break the speed barrier, as everything happened within the chambers of the gun.
As the bullet flies under pressure, it will slow down to below the speed of sound. The surroundings of the bullet will emit great sound as it travels.
And at this moment, the green shooting star sliced through the air, with white smoke trailing it! This sword was not as fast as a bullet, but its power was immense!
Class D metahumans were described to be able to evade high-tech weapons not because they were faster than bullets, but only because they were too fast for the operators of these weapons to lock their aim and get a good shot!
