159: Enmity

The officer's eyes narrowed as he said coldly, "Qin Hai, I told you that if you encounter an Ability User, you need to report it in time. Ability Users are more valuable than evolved zombies."

Qin Hai remained silent. The appearance of the Energy Hunting Squad indicated that someone in his team had already tipped them off. However, the opponent was not just a simple Superpower User; Tian Ming gave Qin Hai the feeling that he was even stronger than a Superpower User.

More than a dozen electric arcs disappeared simultaneously. Tian Ming shook his somewhat dizzy head, and the metal shield around his body vanished. The fact that more than a dozen electric arcs didn't electrocute Tian Ming surprised the officer, who showed a hint of astonishment on his face.

"Quick, create distance!" the Commander shouted loudly. He knew that these Ability Users all had a range of control. As long as they escaped their control range, they could effectively avoid the Ability User's retaliation and counterattack.

Tian Ming could not tolerate being attacked for no reason.

"So you like playing with electricity, do you? Then I'll play with you," Tian Ming's tone turned cold, and electric arcs flickered constantly in the surrounding air.

His body slowly rose into the air, instantly closing the distance with the officer. With a crackle, a thick electric arc directly struck the officer. Although his equipment could prevent electric shock, the thermal effect generated by the huge current directly destroyed his clothes.

The other members of the Energy Hunting Squad were not much better off. In just a few tens of seconds, all the equipment on their bodies was disintegrated, leaving them standing naked and disheveled in the cold wind.

Tian Ming slowly descended, looking coldly at these people.

"Are you from Life Origins Company?" Tian Ming asked with a cold tone and sharp gaze.

Before those people could answer, the Energy Hunting Squad here was attacked and completely lost contact. Twenty to thirty people poured out from inside the submarine. More than a dozen rockets came flying towards Tian Ming, along with high-energy handheld laser weapons directly firing high-energy laser pulses. Such a saturated attack surprised not only Tian Ming but also made the Energy Hunting Squad members inwardly groan.

The air density in front of Tian Ming suddenly changed, forming a prism effect, and the laser hitting it was quickly refracted. Tian Ming was not an ordinary Superpower User; he was proficient in all elements.

If it were a Superpower User, they would certainly not have such a fast reaction speed. Even so, the laser pulse, lasting only a few tenths of a second, still burned a large hole in Tian Ming's clothes.

With a thought, the clothes on his body returned to their original state.

Tian Ming's eyes narrowed. Since they were so impolite, there was no need to hold back. From the previous attack, it seemed Life Origins Company intended to take his life, and they would not give up without killing him.

"Pulse laser, I can do that too..."

The principle of a laser is that it is generated by the transition of electrons outside the atomic nucleus. Since he can strip electrons, he can also generate lasers out of thin air.

Tian Ming slightly raised his palm, and a visible pulse laser instantly shot out from his palm. It was his first time using it, and the light was too unfocused. Although the brightness was very high, the lethality was too low.

Tian Ming felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself, "Forget it, I'll still use kinetic weapons."

The iron elements on the ground rapidly gathered, forming thousands of tiny steel beads. Although the people attacking him were hundreds of meters away, beyond his control range, he could accelerate the steel beads to more than twice the speed of sound.

Bang...!

The tiny steel beads accelerated sharply in the air, emitting dense sonic booms.

In just two seconds, more than thirty people were hit by the steel beads, some with headshots, others with severed limbs. The command tower section of the surfacing submarine was penetrated by countless steel beads.

Tian Ming slightly raised his palm, and steel beads continuously appeared in front of him, like hundreds of Gatling guns firing forward. The submarine's command tower kept sparking, being battered by the storm-like steel beads, unable to sink.

With the command tower damaged, the overall watertight integrity of the submarine was compromised. Sinking now would be extremely risky, and the Commanders inside the submarine dared not gamble, fearing that if he pursued them, everyone in the submarine would be buried at the bottom of the sea, feeding the fish.

In just a few minutes, there was no one left standing in front of Tian Ming. Everyone had been riddled with holes, while the squad Qin Hai brought stood behind Tian Ming, spared from the disaster.

The steel bead storm ceased, and Tian Ming's body, suspended in mid-air, slowly landed. The area in front was a mess, and all those who attacked him died unnatural deaths. A person on top of the submarine's command tower tremblingly climbed out holding a white flag.

"Cease fire, cease fire, we're not fighting anymore," the person shouted loudly.

The entire submarine had surfaced. Not only was the command tower damaged, but the submarine's turtleback also had damage, and water was already leaking inside. This type of submarine was a single-hull submarine, and although Tian Ming's steel beads were small, there were too many of them.

Tian Ming said to the person holding the white flag, "All internal personnel come out, do not carry any weapons. Violators will die!"

Tian Ming stood there, waiting. People from inside the submarine came out one after another. Their physical quality was excellent. They jumped directly from the submarine's turtleback onto the shore.

Tian Ming frowned deeply. This multinational company, Life Origins Company, was truly impressive, actually capable of mass-producing Five-level Ability Users. These people dared not resist after coming ashore; they had already witnessed Tian Ming's power. If they angered this fierce god, they would probably die here.

"Qin Hai, come here for a moment."

Qin Hai quickly ran over. This young man had killed the entire Energy Hunting Squad and the submarine's guards. Life Origins Company would definitely not let Tian Ming off.

"Ability User, you've caused big trouble. You've killed so many people, and you've already made an enemy of Life Origins Company," Qin Hai said, frowning.

Tian Ming didn't care and said to Qin Hai, "How should today's matter be settled? Your squad, and this large group of people. Those who wanted to kill me have already been eliminated by me. I am a very reasonable person. Either you follow me and pledge complete loyalty to me, or I eliminate all of you. You choose."

Everyone fell silent. They dared not betray Life Origins Company because Life Origins Company had extracted something similar to Super Serum from zombies. They had to inject it once every 30 days to maintain their physical mutations. If they didn't inject it for more than 30 days, their bodies would rapidly decay, and their ultimate fate would be death.

If Super Serum was a one-time purchase with extremely high cost-effectiveness, allowing people a certain probability to evolve and gain abilities, then what Life Origins Company developed was like a poison. Their serum was not picky; anyone injected would become a Five-level Ability User, and their physical strength would be even greater than a Five-level Ability User.

But once this stuff was injected, there was no turning back. So, Life Origins Company was not afraid of anyone betraying them. All field agents and people who left the headquarters were transformed into super soldiers.

This group of people was silent because no matter what they chose, it was a dead end. The only difference was dying immediately or dying a little later.
