Chapter 203: Stalling

Hastily swallowing a few spider legs, Xu Jingzhe waved at Poseidon again, full of provocation: "The Adam Five are truly not what they're cracked up to be. You can't even kill a nobody like me after a full day and night."

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The Adam Five had a prestigious reputation; everyone in the Four Main Cities knew them. They were the monuments of the younger generation, difficult to surpass.

And Xu Jingzhe—or should we say, the alias Lu Fei?

Before this, who had ever heard of such a person? If he were standing on the side of the road, the Adam Five wouldn't even glance at him, unless a talent scout was interested.

This statement was even more severe than Xu Jingzhe physically slapping Poseidon's face.

Nothing else; slapping his face only humiliated Poseidon alone, as the remaining four had not yet made a move.

Saying the Adam Five were incompetent was a solid humiliation of all five of them, and a humiliation of all of Adam City.

"Boom!"

Poseidon charged furiously toward Xu Jingzhe at a terrifying speed. The powerful airflow behind him was unstoppable, shattering the large trees on both sides.

Xu Jingzhe let out three cold laughs, and his figure vanished.

Fighting? He definitely couldn't win by fighting.

There was only one word: Stalling!

Parts of his combat suit were products of Level 1 civilization technology. Given his current strength and physical hardness, it couldn't be pierced.

Only by dragging out this life-or-death battle indefinitely and exhausting the energy potion contained within Poseidon's alloy combat suit would there be a chance to defeat him.

He fled, and he pursued. The battlefield kept expanding, moving far away from Tark City.

Caesar stood on high ground, looking back toward Tark City, and said coldly: "Sheel, watch the people inside Tark City. Bruce, you, He, Jian, and the others, follow those who left the city closely; don't let a single one of them escape."

Caesar was very experienced and worried that Xu Jingzhe might be playing a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

The ground shook, and the space roared. Shi Lai followed closely beside Poseidon, helping him find the hidden location of Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe held a bloody lamb leg in his arms that was taller than his body. He didn't even chew, just gulped it down into his stomach in large mouthfuls.

Two bolts of electricity flashed deep in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Shi Lai.

Shi Lai sensed the cold killing intent and met Xu Jingzhe's gaze with his golden pupils. Xu Jingzhe's body trembled, and the submission from the depths of his soul almost made him kneel.

The suppression force written in the genes was just like that; even after tens of millions of years, it could not be changed.

Just then, the Golden Contamination Core trembled, and Xu Jingzhe's body relaxed. Inside the pollution core, two brilliant circular golden lights were almost about to leave his body, but were forcibly suppressed by the system.

System: "Ding, until your strength has at least one foot in the ranks of the Contaminants, do not have a head-on collision with the Lizardman Shi Lai."

"Why?"

System: "Ding, your Golden Contamination Core is the natural enemy of the Lizardman. If Shi Lai senses it, you won't even know how you died!"

Xu Jingzhe's heart jumped violently. Didn't this mean he didn't need to fear the natural suppression engraved in his genes?

He bit off a large piece of raw meat with resentment. A gentleman takes revenge even ten years later; he would keep this account in his heart for now. When the time came, he would make this Lizardman pay!

Xu Jingzhe's figure vanished again, and Poseidon, who had been charging, lunged at empty air. He roared up to the sky; the feeling of punching cotton was too uncomfortable.

With such weak strength, if they really fought, he could crush him with one hand. However, he could never lock onto him. Various devices were heavily affected by radiation deep in the Pollution Zone. After being in the Pollution Zone for so long, some internal parts were damaged, causing signal reception and transmission to fail.

"He's over there, by a large rock a hundred meters away."

"His position has changed again; he's already on the branch of that tree."

"There, see that leopard he hunted? He's hiding inside its belly..."

While fleeing, Xu Jingzhe hunted animals along the path to replenish his energy. Once the energy in his body had mostly recovered, he stopped fleeing and took the initiative to attack, battling Poseidon for three hundred rounds.

His chest was smashed in again and again and again, and his shoulder blades were dislocated. There wasn't a single patch of good skin on Xu Jingzhe's body. His figure dissipated, merging with a deep spring to take the opportunity to escape.

This battle had been going on for four days now. Poseidon had drunk three small bottles of blue liquid to replenish his internal energy.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he had nearly lost his sanity.

This time, even if he personally crushed Xu Jingzhe's throat, it would be useless. The name "Lu Fei" would inevitably cause an uproar. The invincible image of the Adam Five would also be shattered!

The battle between the two attracted many Contaminators in the Pollution Zone. Even thirty-year Contaminants were drawn by the news, driving various modified off-road vehicles to come and watch this 'comical' life-or-death battle between the two.

However, none of these Contaminants dared to touch the participants. Because they had received a warning: if any Contaminant dared to intercept and kill participants from the Four Main Cities, they would inevitably be hunted to the ends of the earth by mechs.

At this very moment, inside Musileke, four mechs dozens of meters tall stood towering.

Their cool metal exteriors, crafted from a mixture of Level 2 and Level 3 alloys, with streamlined lines cut into them, offered an incomparable visual impact.

These were named Level 1 mechs, with each of the Four Main Cities contributing one to deter the Contaminants in the Pollution Zone.

"Huh..." A Contaminator looked at Xu Jingzhe's peerlessly handsome face, looking puzzled. This person was so familiar; it felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

"Isn't this person... a Contaminator? Did I remember wrong?"

"I've seen him too; I would never forget this handsome face."

"Back in Musileke, he relied on a sniper rifle to damage a Level 1 mech. Many Contaminants were looking for him at that time."

"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember too. This slender back is just too similar."

A figure appeared silently among the group of Contaminators, completely inconspicuous, quietly watching the battle between Xu Jingzhe and Poseidon.

He looked at Xu Jingzhe, whose strength was so great, and a look of surprise appeared on his lips.

This kid had only been in the Pollution Zone for a year, and his growth in strength could be described as rocket-like.

Sheng Shi's lips curled up slightly, shifting his gaze from Xu Jingzhe and fixing it on the Lizardman, Shi Lai.

Shi Lai felt something, his golden pupils blazing as he met Sheng Shi's gaze.

For no reason, Sheng Shi's heart trembled; as powerful as he was, he almost wanted to kneel on the ground. A powerful aura flowed through his entire body, and that feeling subsequently vanished.

Shi Lai sensed Sheng Shi's power and turned his head away, unwilling to provoke him. It was not yet time for the Lizard race to emerge; provoking such a powerful enemy now would not be good.

"Boom!" Poseidon punched Xu Jingzhe in the back, breaking his spine. Xu Jingzhe flew sideways, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. He fell into a patch of grass, unable to move.

"Water, come!" The furious voice resounded across the heavens and earth. He unleashed his ability, wanting to seize this opportunity to completely wipe out Xu Jingzhe.

On Poseidon's handsome face, veins bulged. Behind him, twenty-two water tornadoes swirled and twisted toward Xu Jingzhe to kill him. Wherever they passed, nothing could stop them. In an instant, they engulfed Xu Jingzhe.
