115: Chapter 115 Black Shark Underestimates His Enemy! Iron Wall Battle Body

The expression on Jiang Ning's face turned cold.

The current situation was clear.

On the overpass, her people and the Black Shark's people were the two sides out in the open, both staring fixedly at the supply crate in the middle.

But in the ruined building in the distance, another group of unknown people was hiding in the shadows.

Jiang Ning scanned her surroundings and immediately made up her mind.

She didn't even turn her head.

She pressed the miniature communicator on her throat and spoke in a low voice.

"Lin Xinyi!"

Upon being called, Lin Xinyi's shoulders jolted violently.

"Uh... I'm here!"

Jiang Ning's voice was cold.

"Take two newcomers and protect that crate for me at all costs!"

"Slash anyone who dares to get close, and don't you dare hold back!"

Lin Xinyi swallowed and gripped the hilt of her blade tightly.

"Okay... Okay!"

She immediately grabbed the two other equally nervous girls beside her and ran towards the supply crate in the middle of the broken bridge.

Jiang Ning turned her head.

Her gaze swept over the two other melee girls beside her who had undergone enhancement with her.

She raised her chin slightly.

"Let's go. The three of us are going down to meet this bunch of scum."

The Black Shark squad under the bridge also noticed the movement above.

Seeing that the people from Train No. 774 not only didn't run away but actually spread out.

The oily-faced man leading them shook his shoulders and hoisted a sharpened steel pipe onto his shoulder.

He shouted up to the bridge.

"Yo, you chicks have some guts, huh?"

"With just a few of you, you still want to fight us for the loot?"

The man smacked his lips.

"Let's make a deal: you throw that crate down yourselves, and while you're at it, take off those ragged clothes you're wearing."

"I'm in a good mood today, so maybe I'll spare your lives!"

The sturdy men behind him joined in the jeering.

Someone whistled loudly.

A few others grinned and spat out some profanities.

Jiang Ning couldn't be bothered to engage with them.

She strode forward, stepping on the edge of the broken bridge and accelerating with a few steps.

Her body launched into the air.

She jumped down directly from a height of seven or eight meters.

The Black Shark members below didn't react in time when they saw the woman above jump straight down.

The sturdy man closest to her was the first to snap out of it.

He gripped the steel pipe in his hands tightly and swung it viciously at the spot where Jiang Ning was landing.

"Damn it! You're asking for death!"

The man gritted his teeth, the fat on his face bunching up.

There was no sound of bones breaking as expected.

"Clang!!!"

The steel pipe slammed down hard.

Jiang Ning didn't dodge at all while in mid-air.

She simply raised her left hand.

And blocked the descending steel pipe with her forearm.

[Iron Wall Battle Body] talent activated!

The heavy steel pipe slammed into her arm, leaving only a faint tingling sensation.

The skin on her surface wasn't even broken.

The expression on the man who swung the pipe froze instantly.

He looked at the pipe in his hand, then at the woman in front of him.

Could a human's bones be this hard?!

Jiang Ning landed on both feet.

She bent her knees slightly to absorb the impact of the fall from the height.

Immediately after, she pushed off the ground with her left foot and launched her entire body forward.

There was no unnecessary pause.

Her shoulder slammed hard into the man's chest.

"Crack!"

Several sounds of breaking bones echoed out.

The sturdy man's chest caved in instantly.

His massive body flipped backward, and he coughed up a mouthful of bloody saliva.

The blood splattered onto the face of a companion nearby.

The man crashed heavily onto the ground.

His body twitched instinctively twice before he completely stopped breathing.

The area under the bridge fell silent instantly.

The expressions on the faces of the remaining seven or eight Black Shark members all changed.

No one jeered anymore.

Someone cursed loudly.

"Damn! Kill her!"

"Damn it, this woman isn't right!"

The group raised their machetes and iron pipes, surrounding Jiang Ning from all sides.

Within the crowd, one Black Shark member didn't follow them forward.

He took advantage of the chaos to bypass the frontal conflict, moving stealthily toward the rear.

His eyes were locked on Lin Xinyi and the two others who were moving the supply crate on the broken bridge.

Lin Xinyi heard the sound of gravel behind her.

She immediately turned around.

A chubby man was running toward her position with a knife in hand.

Lin Xinyi's breath hitched.

Her palms instantly broke into a sweat.

Her mind went blank, and all the training moves that Fang Che and Jiang Ning had taught her were thrown out the window.

She swallowed.

She could only grip the hilt of her combat blade tightly with both hands.

She forced her body to stand in front of the other two classmates.

Although her arms were still shaking, she didn't retreat a single step, staring fixedly at the charging man.

...

Inside the abandoned bus station.

Fang Che sat in the corner, with the static from the public communication channel constantly coming through.

He listened to the commotion on Jiang Ning's side without saying a word.

Mu Waner stared at the tablet, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Um, Fang Che, I just received a message from Jiang Ning."

Teacher Qin Bing immediately leaned over.

"What did she say?"

Mu Waner quickly scanned the text on the screen and looked up.

"Jiang Ning said they ran into people from another team in the designated area..."

Teacher Qin Bing's palms broke into a sweat.

"Should we send someone over to support them?"

"Uh, we don't know how many people are on the other side. If she's leading the team alone, what if..."

"No need."

Fang Che slowly opened his eyes.

"Let her figure out a way to handle it herself."

"This is real combat; she has to overcome this hurdle on her own."

On the other side, underneath the overpass.

Jiang Ning was already surrounded by three sturdy men.

A machete from the right slashed hard onto her back.

The blade slid across.

Leaving only a shallow white mark on her skin.

Immediately after, a steel pipe slammed into her shoulder.

Jiang Ning's shoulder sank a bit from the blow.

She didn't retreat.

Turning around, she delivered a backhanded elbow strike, slamming it hard into the opponent's face.

The man's nasal bone shattered on the spot.

[Stronger Through Battle] passive effect stacking!

The more hits she took, the more Jiang Ning clearly felt the hardness of her muscles and bones steadily rising.

The force that had made her tingle when it first hit her body now didn't hurt at all.

"Monster! This woman is a damn monster!"

"Boss, we can't cut through her at all!"

A man nearby stared at the machete in his hand; the blade had already chipped significantly.

His voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke.

Jiang Ning stood in the center.

The blood flow in her body accelerated.

She could clearly perceive that the bone density and muscle hardness inside her body had entered a new stage.

The captain of the Black Shark squad realized something was wrong.

He stared fixedly at Jiang Ning and directly picked up the thickest piece of rebar from the ground.

Exerting strength with both hands.

He slammed it down toward Jiang Ning's head.

"Die for me!!!"

Jiang Ning didn't look at the steel bar above her head.

She took a big step forward, closing the distance.

Retracting her right arm, she delivered a straight punch, smashing it hard into the man's face.

"Bang!"

The sound of breaking bones echoed again.

The man's jaw deformed instantly.

His entire head bent backward at an extremely awkward angle.

Before the steel bar in his hand could fall, he had already collapsed limply to the ground.

The remaining two Black Shark members were completely stunned.

They stood frozen for two seconds.

Then they immediately dropped their iron pipes and machetes.

Turned around, and ran for their lives toward the ruins behind them.

Jiang Ning stood alone among the corpses.

Her chest heaved violently.

She was panting heavily; the temperature on her skin was extremely high, and white steam was constantly rising from her body.

The surroundings fell completely silent.

This was the first battle where Train No. 774 had fought off the Black Shark head-on.

Not long after, Lin Xinyi and the two newcomers on the broken bridge worked together to drag the military-green supply crate down.

The girls looked at the corpses covering the ground, then at Jiang Ning standing in front.

Their eyes betrayed an unconcealable nervousness.

Jiang Ning pressed her communicator.

"Fang Che, we've cleared everything out on our end, and we've got the crate."
