435: Advanced Evolutionary

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao immediately stood on either side of this person, looking at him with suspicion.

"Who are you?" Pan Han asked nervously.

He felt an indescribable sense of discomfort all over his body, or even a feeling of suffocation.

"You must be Pan Han," Number 5 Baldy replied with a question.

"It's me."

"Very good! You can stop now; I'm here to act as a peacemaker." Number 5 Baldy's expression softened slightly, signaling friendliness.

"So, who exactly are you? And what makes you think you can be a peacemaker?" Pan Han really disliked the way the other person spoke, but he vaguely guessed where he came from.

In this day and age, who else could it be but someone with a mecha?

"I am Number 5 of the Twelve Palaces!" The bald man stopped pretending, laid his cards on the table, and directly brought up the Twelve Palaces.

As he finished speaking, the pressure of an Advanced Evolver was instantly released.

Whoosh!!!!

The world changed instantly, and the earth seemed to vibrate.

Pan Han, Cheng Xiao, and the others were knocked off balance by the pressure, barely able to stand.

The special operations team in the distance was all pressed flat onto the ground.

Lao Liu was even unluckier; he was already covered in wounds on his back, and now the pressure intensified his pain, causing him to groan and moan.

Hearing Lao Liu's voice, Cheng Xiao hurriedly ran back to take care of him.

"Number 5?" After steadying himself, Pan Han frowned, feeling that things were looking even worse.

"Didn't Mo Li tell you?" Number 5 Baldy's expression became even more amiable, and he even showed a slight smile.

It was just that he probably rarely smiled, so the smile looked unnatural, even distorted.

"He didn't." Hearing the name Mo Li, Pan Han relaxed his guard slightly.

After all, the fact that the other party mentioned him right away meant that at least the two of them knew each other.

They might be on good terms, or bad terms, or perhaps even have a superior-subordinate relationship.

Regardless, they probably weren't enemies!

"Fine. Then let me introduce myself. I am two ranks higher than Mo Li. I am a member of the top brass of the Twelve Palaces. You can call me Number 5."

"Top brass? Could it be that you are an Advanced Evolver?"

"Correct! Can we talk now?" Number 5 nodded and reached out to take out a cigarette.

Pan Han recognized it; it was one he had sent over.

"Do you have a light?" Number 5 held up the cigarette and waved it in front of Pan Han.

"Damn it! He's actually making me light his cigarette; this bald guy is doing it on purpose!" Pan Han was somewhat dissatisfied, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

However, lighting it for him felt very awkward.

It was just absurd!

As if possessed, Pan Han took out a lighter and helped Number 5 light the cigarette.

"This stuff is really good. You kid actually has some talent." Taking a deep drag, Number 5 smiled at Pan Han.

"What do you want to talk about?" Pan Han also lit a cigarette.

"It's very simple. You give up the slaughter of the city, and Shanlan Prefecture will be yours." Number 5 was straightforward, not hiding anything at all.

"You say it's mine, so it's mine? Once I kill them all, won't it still be mine anyway?"

Pan Han was speechless. He was already about to take this place; did he really need to be told that?

"You're right. But if I don't agree, you won't be able to kill them all, nor will you be able to take Shanlan Prefecture." Number 5 seemed to know that Pan Han would say that, and without thinking, he retorted immediately.

"Do you top brass of the Twelve Palaces all talk like this?" Pan Han felt a sense of threat he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Not necessarily. If you were also an Advanced Evolver, our conversation would be more interesting." Number 5 smiled and said.

But with just a few words, he reminded Pan Han that negotiations are based on strength.

"Fine. I can give up the slaughter, but how will you make them submit to me?"

Pan Han had no temper left. He didn't even know what an Advanced Evolver really meant.

But from the gap between the Intermediate and Beginner levels, he could roughly judge three words—not to be messed with!

"I just need to tell them. It's very simple." Number 5 Baldy puffed out another cloud of white smoke.

"They listen to you?"

"It's a coincidence; I'm from Shanlan Prefecture. Do you think they'll listen or not?"

"Oh, no wonder! That's a bit strange, though. Why aren't you helping them, but helping me instead?" Pan Han also exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"Kid. If I knew why, you'd already be lying on the ground by now." Number 5 Baldy glanced in the direction of the Twelve Palaces and sighed lightly.

"Number 5, right? Your suggestion is not bad, but they launched a nuclear missile and wiped out an entire army of mine. If I don't avenge this, I'm not a man!"

"What about the conditions?"

"What conditions?"

"You've said so much; isn't it because you want to negotiate more conditions? Just say it directly; don't waste time." Number 5's speed of responding and speaking began to accelerate, almost immediately following up right after Pan Han finished speaking.

"What do you think I'm lacking right now?" Pan Han was somewhat annoyed by his question.

Dawn Base has everything it needs; what other conditions could there be?

"For example, this brother of yours who is about to die!" Number 5 pointed with one hand at Lao Liu.

Seeing this, Pan Han immediately blocked in front of him, his chest shielding the direction of the finger.

"Don't you dare target him! Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death." Pan Han said viciously.

"Heh heh! If only I could have been as arrogant as you when I was an Intermediate Evolver." Number 5 paused, but eventually lowered his finger.

"I mean, this brother of yours is dying. I can make him live."

"What?"

Pan Han was stunned to hear this! Cheng Xiao also immediately ran over from Lao Liu's side, looked at Number 5, and asked, "Really?"

"Or, I can make him die immediately. You choose."

"How dare you!" Hearing this, Cheng Xiao immediately lost her cool, punched out fiercely, heading straight for Number 5's side profile.

Number 5 didn't move his body, but simply extended a finger again and flicked it lightly in the air.

Cheng Xiao immediately became unable to move, her fist stopping ten centimeters from Number 5's cheek.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move forward even an inch.

Seeing this, Pan Han immediately pulled at Cheng Xiao, but something strange happened.

No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't budge Cheng Xiao even a fraction, and then he couldn't move either.

Exaggerated! Terrifying! It's just absurd! What the hell!

Is this the power of an Advanced Evolver? How can this be??

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao's minds went blank, buzzing.

Advanced Evolvers have always been legendary figures; no one at Dawn Base had ever seen one in person.

Facing one today left Pan Han deeply shocked.

If it could be said that Intermediate Evolvers and Beginner Evolvers were still human, and the gap between the two could still be calculated using certain combat power ratios.

But Advanced Evolvers were clearly a different species from humans.

The other party could immobilize two Intermediate Evolvers by just extending a finger.

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao, working together, could push a train and lift a tank.

Yet now, they couldn't do anything against Number 5's single finger!

"You two, don't waste time. Your brother can live for at most ten more minutes. Hurry up and choose!"

Number 5 still hadn't relaxed his control, but from his tone, it was clear that Lao Liu's situation was indeed very critical.
