294: Instant kill, rolling ass, indestructible!

"Did you see that clearly?" General Ao Zhan's cold voice rang in the ears of Chen Beixuan and the other two. "No matter how high one's talent, they are no match for an absolute power system."

"Intelligence and attribute counters are far more important than mere Rank and brute force."

"The Lord's power lies not only in his own strength, but also in every hero under his command, each capable of performing a hundredfold in the most suitable position."

A weak cough came from the rubble.

Pan Ergou struggled out of the ruins, covered in blood, with most of his bones broken.

"Wh-… why…"

He looked at General Ao Zhan, who was walking over leisurely, his voice hoarse, "Who… who exactly are you people…"

He couldn't understand.

When did such a terrifying army appear in H City?

Even the most elite official troops would only be slaughtered in the face of his berserker state.

But these people in front of him…

They were like beings from another dimension, so powerful that he felt suffocated.

"You are not qualified to know." General Ao Zhan walked up to him, looking down at him as if he were an ant.

"I… I surrender!" Pan Ergou broke down, kneeling on the ground, snot and tears streaming down his face, "I am willing to submit, I am willing to give up everything I have!"

"My territory, my resources, all for you! Just spare my life!"

He didn't want to die.

Having struggled in the apocalypse for so long, and finally climbing to his current position, how could he be willing to die like this?

However, General Ao Zhan only sneered.

"The Lord has ordered, leave no one alive."

"Scum like you, who finds pleasure in torturing and killing civilians, are not worthy of surrendering."

As his words fell, the Overlord Spear in General Ao Zhan's hand was raised high.

The tip of the spear glinted with a cold light.

"No!!!"

Pan Ergou let out a desperate roar.

The long spear descended.

The sound stopped abruptly.

The leader of the Buddhist Retirement Home Alliance, S-Rank Talent Lord, Mad Dog Pan Ergou, was dead.

His remaining confidantes, seeing this scene, lost the courage to resist, collapsing to the ground, soiling themselves.

General Ao Zhan did not spare them another glance.

"Hua Li, clean up the battlefield."

"Yes, General." Hua Li smiled charmingly, directing the Soldiers to count the spoils of war and execute the remaining captives.

General Ao Zhan turned, his gaze sweeping over Chen Beixuan and the other two.

"Now, your task is to follow them and clean up the battlefield."

"Remember, everything here, even a piece of scrap metal, is the Lord's spoil of war."

......

With Pan Ergou's execution,

the remaining thugs were also cleaned up by the Cangming City Soldiers.

The entire steel factory was filled with a strong smell of blood, and no more screams could be heard.

Hua Li directed a team of Soldiers to take over this massive war fortress.

"Team One, inventory the Warehouse supplies! All Ore, materials, and food must be registered!"

"Team Two, search for all survivors, verify their identities, and execute anyone attempting to resist on the spot."

"Team Three, dismantle all defensive facilities, pack all usable weapons and equipment, and melt down the unusable ones for reforging."

Orders were issued from her mouth one after another.

The originally chaotic and bloody demon's den became orderly under her command.

This was the professionalism of the heroes under Mo Yan's command.

General Ao Zhan was responsible for the conquest, and Hua Li was responsible for the post-battle cleanup, with clear division of labor and extremely high efficiency.

Chen Beixuan, Su Qingxue, and Lin Xiaoran were also assigned tasks.

Their job was simple: follow a team of Soldiers and search through piles of corpses for valuable spoils of war.

Such as spatial rings, special weapons and equipment, etc.

This was their first time doing such a thing, and their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

Lin Xiaoran looked at a corpse impaled by a long spear; while he hesitated for a long time, the veteran next to him had already kicked the corpse aside without changing his expression and pulled out a bag of crystals from underneath.

He took a deep breath and began searching, mimicking the veteran.

Su Qingxue was much more decisive; she expressionlessly took out her longsword, cut open the thug's clothes, and picked out valuable items, without touching anything with her hands the entire time.

Being merciful to enemies is being cruel to oneself.

She now had a deeper understanding of this saying.

Chen Beixuan remained silent; he quietly searched, tossing aside various oddly shaped but low-quality weapons.

To him, these ordinary irons, which couldn't even be considered Magical Artifacts, were not worthy of being called swords.

Just then, a Soldier made a new discovery while searching Pan Ergou's throne.

"General! There's a hidden compartment here!"

Everyone gathered at the sound.

Below the throne, which had been shattered by Numinous Flower's palm, a hidden door made of heavy alloy was revealed, engraved with complex energy patterns, clearly a hidden treasury.

"Move aside."

General Ao Zhan stepped forward, glanced at the energy lock on the hidden door, and raised an eyebrow.

This lock seemed to be bound to Pan Ergou's life aura.

Once he died, it automatically entered a locked state.

"Forcibly breaking it will take some time," General Ao Zhan judged.

"General, let me try."

Hua Li walked over, extended her finger, and touched the hidden door.

A faint Devilish Qi, almost imperceptible, seeped through her fingertip into the cracks of the energy lock.

Click.

A few seconds later, with a soft click, the complex energy lock was broken.

"Our Demonic Dao methods are still more efficient against these unorthodox techniques," Hua Li smiled enchantingly.

Just then, Chen Beixuan, who had been silent, caught a glimpse of a black and white shadow flashing past a pile of discarded containers, sniffing around curiously.

He thought it was a mutated creature attracted by the smell of blood and didn't pay it much mind, his attention quickly drawn back to the scene before him.

Two Shield Soldiers stepped forward and pushed open the heavy alloy door together.

Behind the door was a secret room less than twenty square meters.

There were no gold or silver treasures inside, only a few shelves.

The shelves were filled with various rare Ores, crystals, and a few rare-Rank pieces of equipment that glowed.

Most striking was a green heart in the center of the shelf, exuding a rich aura of life.

"An Epic-quality Wood Spirit Heart!" a Soldier exclaimed.

This was a supreme treasure that could allow an ordinary person to possess a Wood Spiritual Root!

Pan Ergou's collection was indeed abundant.

Just as the Soldiers were about to step forward to move the supplies, a sudden change occurred!

The last trap guarding the treasury was triggered!

In the secret room, a gargoyle disguised as a statue suddenly lit up with red eyes!

It let out a piercing shriek, spread its huge wings, and its sharp claws lunged towards the throat of the nearest Soldier!

The speed was too fast!

At this critical moment, a round, black and white figure appeared in the secret room, just blocking the gargoyle.

Gun Gun had been following the main army, but no one knew when it had sneaked in.

It seemed to have been attracted by the scent of Ore in the treasury, still holding half an iron ingot it had picked up from outside in its mouth, looking bewildered and innocent.

"Gun Gun, move out of the way!" Tang Ketian exclaimed.

However, it was already too late.

The gargoyle's claws had already reached Gun Gun's face.

Everyone thought this seemingly harmless panda was about to be torn to shreds.

But what happened next stunned everyone.

Gun Gun, annoyed, tilted its head.

It directly sat on the gargoyle.

The gargoyle, whose strength was at least LV5, was directly crushed into a pile of rubble.

Everyone was petrified on the spot.

K-… killed in an instant?

Crushed… with a single sit?

Gun Gun seemed completely unaware of what it had done; it wiggled its round body, stood up, and with its short legs, waddled to the shelf.

It hugged the largest energy crystal, opened its mouth, and bit down with a crunch.

Chewing it with a crisp sound.

"Gulu, what's wrong?"

Gun Gun turned its head, looking at the stunned humans, its big, dark eyes full of confusion.

General Ao Zhan's mouth twitched fiercely.

He retracted his previous thought.

There wasn't a single normal one among the Lord's subordinates…
