Are there streets without street cleaners wearing terrifying masks?

The construction site is still bustling with activity, with many locals joining in.

Or is it the behavior of [Reverse Entropy] in distributing resources for free, and their past actions?

he does not know.

On his way back to the Heartfelt Club, Hanz stared blankly out the window, peeled one of the remaining two oranges, and popped a segment into his mouth to savor it.

Compared to this world, it's indeed very sweet...

Chapter 636 First Arrival in the New World

The endless yellow sand is the backdrop of this wasteland. Decades have passed since the final battle, and this world remains desolate.

The vast desert, a land traditionally considered barren, has provided a livelihood for a large number of scavengers thanks to its abundant 'junk resources'.

The motorcycle was speeding by.

The monster was also speeding along.

"Kaya, hold on tight! Don't fall!"

The driver was a scavenger with short, neat hair. She was squinting slightly as she sped into the depths of the desert, braving the dry, biting wind, heading towards a dangerous place she had never been before.

"Don't worry, sister, I'm holding you tight."

The one who responded to her was a little girl, whose long chestnut-colored hair was torn into a flowing ribbon by the wind, flying up and down.

Kara, the older sister, deeply regretted not upgrading her work vehicle. What use were the gold cubes she had saved now? Even with the accelerator floored, her old two-wheeled motorcycle could only reach a top speed of 320 kilometers per hour, which was far from enough to shake off the relentlessly pursuing Nieqiba.

Death is imminent.

"Kaya, I..."

Before the older sister could finish speaking, the younger sister interrupted, "I want to be with my sister, even if it means death."

Her plans suddenly became stuck in her chest, and all she could say was a helpless smile.

"Hold on to Kaya, we can only try our luck in the 'Starfall Zone' to the west."

Meteorite zone.

When the orbital rings fall from the sky, each meteorite zone is the most densely populated and prosperous area of ​​the Nieqiba. Otherwise, it would not have attracted such a mutually destructive attack as the orbital rings derailing from space and falling to the earth.

Even now, the wreckage of the orbital ring, which resembles a mountain range, still harbors a large number of survivors and newly spawned monsters.

Of course, it also contains countless recyclable resources, making it a theoretical treasure trove for 'scavengers'.

However, most scavengers don't like to come here because the area is extremely dangerous.

The complex terrain makes survival here extremely difficult. A deadly monster might be lurking under a stone slab, in the ruins of a collapsed building, in a pile of junk, or around a corner. It could take advantage of your unpreparedness and tear your body apart with its deformed claws and teeth.

But Kara was desperate.

In the open terrain, the two men's vehicle was no match for the towering Behemoth behind them. Their only chance of survival was to enter the steel jungle and use the terrain to their advantage.

Perhaps it was the protection of the 'Mother's Domain', but until the iconic, massive, and dilapidated orbital ring ruins, over fifty meters high, appeared before the two sisters, they did not encounter any obstacles from the Nieqiba, which gave them hope of escape.

"Roar!"

The long, high-speed race had made the Behemoth Lion quite frenzied, but even after racing against the mechanical motorcycle with its flesh and blood for so long, the monster showed no signs of fatigue and remained full of energy.

"Someone's here, sister!" Kaya exclaimed in surprise.

Kara felt a surge of emotions. She knew that if the two of them were to encounter someone in the current situation, it would undoubtedly harm each other.

Following the direction Kaya pointed, amidst the swirling sandstorm, she successfully spotted a person two kilometers away on a high cliff, staring blankly at the ruins of the orbital ring.

This person is strange.

In the vast desert, he was neither wearing an air-purifying mask nor carrying a backpack. Apart from a seemingly ordinary walking stick, he didn't even have an electromagnetic nail gun or a nano-knife. It's truly baffling how he managed to survive in the wasteland.

But this is not the reason why they led Nie Qiba to the other party.

Once Kara confirmed that someone was in the direction they were traveling, she no longer hesitated to try to turn the car around and get away from them.

Unbeknownst to the two sisters, Kara's action caused the strange man, who had been looking up, to suddenly turn his gaze toward them.

At a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, even the smallest thing can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

A piece of old metal, which had been hidden in the gravel for a long time and had somehow ended up there, caused the motorcycle wheel on it to slip, causing the speeding motorcycle to lose control, roll over, and throw the two sisters off the seat.

The two sisters, one big and one small, were like projectiles thrown by a catapult. With the help of inertia, they rolled and bounced wildly on the sand for dozens of times before dissipating the force and successfully landing.

Kara, the older sister, didn't have time to care about the grit that had splashed into her ears or underwear. The moment she rolled off the ground, she drew a short blade from her waist, rushed in front of her younger sister, and shielded her behind her.

But doing so could not prevent the moment of their deaths from arriving even a second later.

The creature named Behemoth Lion resembles an enlarged version of a lion, but its over six-meter-long body and deformed head resembling a human hand clearly identify it as a twisted monster.

"Roar!"

The cruel roar carried for miles.

With a powerful leap from its four paws, the Behemoth leaped five or six meters into the air from the sand and pounced on the two 'little lambs'.

It has already been grinding its teeth and sucking blood, unable to wait to gnaw on the freshest flesh and nanoparticles and devour delicious energy.

Kara could only grip the short blade, activate the high-frequency molecular vibration cutting mode, and raise the glowing red weapon in front of her, ready to deliver a fatal blow even if it meant death.

But the shock and excruciating pain she expected did not come.

Just as Behemoth Lion Killer left the ground, his entire body was ripped through the air and struck by a staff carrying thunderous force, causing him to crash from the sky in a sorry state.

"interesting"

The next second, a clear male voice rang out from beside Kara, but the language was completely unfamiliar.

Looking at the two sisters, disheveled and in a sorry state, Jiang Bing felt that the new world was full of surprises.

Upon first meeting, Jiang Bing was struck by how incredibly beautiful the older sister was, while the younger sister was even more stunning.

The two women's figures and faces didn't resemble those of 'scavengers' struggling to survive in the wasteland; rather, they looked like urban beauties who maintained their figures through daily exercise and never stopped undergoing cosmetic procedures.

The scorching sun failed to tan their skin at all. Even covered in sand, their skin remained supple and radiant, glowing white as if it were luminous.

What's even more surprising is the short blade the other person is holding. This seemingly old-fashioned blade actually utilizes advanced nanotechnology, and this high-tech weapon is being held by a woman who doesn't look like a combatant.

This means that a weapon of this caliber can at most be considered an ordinary self-defense dagger.

The fact that Jiang Bingyi discovered the massive star ring debris upon his 'landing' suggests that the technological level of this world is incredibly advanced.

Of course, the level of danger is also incredibly high.

Chapter 637 The First Battle of the New World

"Who are you? Are you a member of the guard, a scavenger, or a survivor from underground?"

Kara's voice was very clear and crisp, completely unlike the voice one would expect from someone who spends all day in the desert eating dew and drinking wind.

But that's normal.

Although the language was unfamiliar, Jiang Bing was able to achieve 'quantum reading' after his promotion. Although he did not understand the language, it did not prevent him from learning from a higher dimension.

"A traveler."

Jiang Bing sized up the younger sister hiding behind her older sister. The younger sister had big, cute eyes that made her look like a character straight out of an anime, and her features were so exquisite that they seemed to have been carefully designed by the Creator.

But that's normal.

"Before we get to know each other properly, let me address a small issue first."

Jiang Bing turned his head and looked at the monster that had been pierced by the cane he had thrown.

The other party had already struggled to get up from the sand and was staring fiercely at Jiang Bing with the 'eyes' between two fingers. The cane that was embedded in the other party's body was forcibly pulled out. Amidst the blood splattering, countless mutated nanoparticles rapidly converged towards the wound, filling the missing flesh. In just an instant, the bowl-sized blood hole was instantly restored to its original state.

The level of technology in this world is indeed ridiculously high; even monsters can use nanotechnology.

Jiang Bing was very envious of this. He knew that the knowledge related to the 'Nano Path' was quite valuable in the Creator's database, and the cash-strapped Boss Jiang had always been envious. Now that he had the chance, he was determined to give it a good 'criticism'.

"careful!"

The battle begins with Kara's invalidation warning.

To be honest, Jiang Bing hadn't been involved in any physical altercations since his promotion, so returning to his most familiar field of 'physics' made him feel a bit nostalgic.

But the lion named Behemoth was in for a lot of trouble.

No matter how bizarre and unbelievable the Behemoth looks, its name still contains the word "lion," and its attack methods are not significantly different from those of a lion.

One pounce, two sweeps, three bites.

"Pounce" refers to pouncing or, in simpler terms, jumping.

The renowned human anatomy theorist "Lao Gen Liu" once published a famous viewpoint: "When your feet are off the ground, your intelligence takes over." This demonstrated the entangled relationship between quantum mechanics and neurology, making an outstanding contribution to the development of medicine. However, in actual combat, leaving your feet off the ground is often not a wise choice, especially when your opponent's feet are still on the ground and their intelligence is already far superior to yours.

Therefore, Behemoth Lion set a typical bad example for Kara and Kaya sisters at this moment.

After a brief period of charging, streaks of yellow lightning suddenly appeared on the surface of the opponent's massive body. Under the combined effect of nanoparticles and mutated flesh, a large amount of energy was pumped out from the opponent's biological core. After being charged with the lightning patterns, a large amount of void lightning was generated, which not only activated the opponent's body, but also added a layer of lightning damage to the opponent's attack.

"Beta energy?!" Jiang Bing keenly caught a new element from the words of the twin sisters behind him.

However, no matter how intimidating Behemoth's attacks may seem, its pouncing momentum is still not as strong as that of Nergigante in Monster Hunter.

Jiang Bing didn't even draw his "Negotiation" sword. Instead, he crouched down and charged at the opponent's lower body, delivering a powerful punch to the opponent's steel-like chest and abdominal muscles.

Due to the size difference between the two, this scene can be described as 'real, little fists pounding your chest'.

Surprisingly, its body, covered in short, coarse fur, was surprisingly sturdy. After being struck by Jiang Bing's hammer, its flesh only rippled like calm water. After its internal muscles shattered into a mess, the Behemoth successfully absorbed the full force of Jiang Bing's attack.

Of course, it still hurt, but Jiang Bing was amazed by the resilience of the other party's flesh and blood body.

It's no exaggeration to say that his 'ordinary punch' could punch a hole in a military-technological lizard armored vehicle.

But to his surprise, the other person was completely unharmed after taking his punch, except for a broken sternum, flesh and blood at the point of impact, and severe internal injuries.

The aforementioned 'fatal injury' was quickly healed by the constantly circulating nanoparticles within the opponent's body.

That's a bit shameless.

"This is the work of the rogue warrior, Mr. Jiang," sighed the boss.

However, Nieqiba would not cooperate with Boss Jiang in his sentimental musings. Although it possesses intelligence, it is more driven by killing and destruction, with a wild mindset that is infinitely inclined towards that of a beast.

So it pounced on it again.

The moment the Behemoth raised its right paw, rays of blue light visibly emanated from it. This was a manifestation of the over-charge of special nanoparticles within its body, causing them to overflow.

The overshoot caused the opponent's next claw strike to be like an enchantment, directly creating a lightning claw mark in the air.

However, Jiang Bing blocked the strike with his elbow.

When the two collided, they produced a sound like metal clashing, but it was the right paw of the Bimbisara that was almost as big as Jiang Bing that was bounced back.

The force of the impact was over ten tons, and the accompanying current was probably several thousand volts.

This level of voltage is sufficient to penetrate the human skin, causing deep electrical burns, leading to heart necrosis, muscle paralysis, or to penetrate most mechanical objects that have not been specifically designed with electrical shock protection.

Unfortunately, it was up against Jiang Bing.

The Behemoth, having failed to strike, did not give up. The collision only fueled its ferocity. With a roar powerful enough to shatter an ordinary person's eardrums at close range, the lightning crackling around its two front paws intensified.

A series of cat punches!

Of course, this was the name Jiang Bing gave to the opponent's move in his mind.

The Behemoth's combo of attacks was quite impressive, with its continuous claw strikes from its left and right front paws creating a suffocatingly powerful and oppressive force. Even if someone could block one claw, their defense would quickly crumble under the onslaught of the follow-up attacks, leaving them vulnerable to the premeditated bite of its sharp teeth.

Unfortunately, this move can only be used against equally matched enemies.

When Jiang Bing effortlessly blocked four consecutive blows from his opponent with a flick of his elbow, without even taking a step, anyone with a modicum of intelligence should have prepared to make a run for it. Unfortunately, as a Behemoth, this lion's mind was filled only with killing intent.

So when it raised its head high, and its five finger-like fleshy pillars suddenly opened, revealing the sharp teeth hidden inside, and lunged at Jiang Bing, it was met with the merciless iron hand of the [Forger].

This seemingly flesh-and-blood hand was like an indestructible pillar, directly shattering the opponent's long, bony teeth mixed with metal nanoparticles, passing through the opponent's upper jawbone without any hindrance, and reaching the core deep inside the brain.

The man and the beast suddenly froze.

Chapter 638 Biological Weapons

The next second, a large amount of blood gushed out from the mouth of the Behemoth. As Jiang Bing slowly withdrew his right arm from the lion's mouth, a scarlet sphere slightly larger than his palm was brought out.
