Chapter 324 Intelligence is the Most Critical
Charles saw another dozen iron barrels being thrown over, and his irritation began to rise.
He quickly dodged around to avoid getting splashed with gasoline again.
But when those barrels hit the ground, they exploded with a bang!
What splashed out wasn't gasoline, but a large amount of milky white liquid!
The barrels kept falling around Charles and then exploded.
The milky white liquid splashed everywhere, and even though Charles was agile, it was hard to avoid the omnipresent white liquid.
Soon, he was covered in the stuff, even his tactical helmet visor was smeared.
His vision was greatly obstructed.
"What is this stuff?" Charles felt something was wrong and was about to quickly leave the fire circle when he suddenly found his clothes sticking together.
He reached out to wipe the white liquid off his helmet, but the more he wiped, the worse it got.
In the end, even his gloves almost stuck to it.
"This is... strong latex paint!" Charles finally realized what it was.
Steven's tricks were endless, and although Charles had immense power, he couldn't use it at all.
"Despicable!" Charles shouted angrily, and with his immense strength, he managed to tear the latex paint apart.
But Steven's attack didn't stop at all.
Steven had prepared over a hundred barrels of this latex paint! To be honest, this stuff was one of his trump cards against Charles.
Before this operation, Steven had made one thing clear—he wasn't a fighter, and close combat wasn't his strong suit, so he absolutely couldn't have a direct confrontation with Charles!
Since he couldn't beat him, he would disgust him to the point where he couldn't use his abilities, giving him a chance to win!
In this battle, the only thing Steven had over Charles was information!
Charles didn't know enough about Steven's abilities, but Steven had learned all about Charles' abilities through hacker networks.
Strong latex paint, specifically used to disgust those who think they're strong in close combat.
Charles' visor was smeared with latex paint, causing him to temporarily lose his vision.
Steven continued to hurl barrels of potent latex paint, this time pouring it directly over Charles.
Although Charles tried to dodge by listening, it wasn't as effective as being able to see.
In a fit of extreme anger, Charles roared, tore his combat suit to pieces, and simultaneously took off his helmet, hurling it into the fire.
"Die, you bastard!" Charles' anger was completely ignited by Steven.
Anyone would be furious when faced with an opponent with so many tricks!
At the beginning of the fight, Steven had pretended to be weak. But when the fight started, Steven was despicable to the extreme!
But now, it became even harder for Charles to get close to Steven.
Under Charles' feet, there was no more snow.
Due to the burning of dozens of barrels of gasoline, the snow had long melted into muddy ice water, and his legs were stuck in several inches of snow water and large chunks of ice, making his movements even more difficult.
But Charles didn't care about any of this.
He thought Steven's tricks were just that, and as long as he held out until Steven ran out of things to throw, he could get close and smash Steven's head with one punch!
But before Charles could get through the fire circle, he vaguely saw Steven's faint smile in the distance.
Steven raised his right hand slightly, and a Dimension Door opened in the air, this time with hundreds of barrels rolling out from the extradimensional space.
The barrels had no lids, so the contents were blown by the cold wind, flying all over the valley.
A strong smell of the ocean spread, even the strong smell of gasoline couldn't completely cover it.
The barrels contained a large amount of fine powder, neither gunpowder nor poison.
But when Charles smelled it, his eyes showed intense fear.
He quickly covered his mouth and nose to avoid breathing it in.
Steven looked at Charles and said calmly, "Everyone has a weakness; no one is invincible. Just like the supposedly invincible Charles, who is allergic to seafood."
West Mountain Base had detailed records on everyone.
Charles' weakness was his seafood allergy.
An allergic reaction could be fatal if not treated in time.
However, even if Charles wasn't allergic to seafood, Steven had other despicable means to deal with him.
Poison, aphrodisiacs, lime powder, feces...
Everyone has a weakness and can be killed!
With enough information and preparation, even a small weakness can be fatal!
Steven felt no shame in his actions; rather, he took pride in them. As long as he could vanquish his opponent, that was all that mattered.
Steven spread his hands, and the valley was filled with flying seafood powder. "This is powder made from over thirty types of seafood, guaranteed to give you the best allergic reaction."
Steven had visited many supermarkets to collect this seafood.
Charles held his breath to avoid inhaling the seafood particles. But no one can hold their breath forever.
He was deeply shocked, unable to understand how Steven knew about his seafood allergy.
But he was unwilling to lose to Steven—this despicable person in his eyes!
Holding his breath, Charles charged out of the icy water, ready to fight Steven to the death!
Steven was very cautious, always keeping a safe distance from Charles.
Seeing Charles charging, Steven turned and ran without a word!
As long as he dragged it out, Charles would die eventually, so Steven wasn't in a hurry.
Charles was very fast, even faster than Steven at this moment.
But from the Dimension Door, various underwear, children's plush toys, and other items were thrown out like they were free, severely obstructing Charles' vision.
After a minute of chasing, Charles' face turned red and purple, swelling like bread dough in an oven.
Charles clutched his throat and finally collapsed to the ground.
Steven stood 100 feet away, and seeing this, he silently retreated another 100 feet.
Then, he lit a campfire beside him, took out some chocolate bars from the extradimensional space, and started eating them.
The valley fell silent.
After ten minutes, the seemingly dead Charles suddenly jumped up.
"Steven!!!" Charles roared at Steven, his face now a hideous sight, swollen like a pig's head.
It turned out Charles was just pretending to be dead.
Although he was indeed allergic to seafood, as a super soldier, he always carried anti-allergy medication.
He had planned to fake his death and then ambush Steven.
But he didn't expect Steven to be so cautious! He had run off to eat and regain his strength.
Steven could wait, but Charles couldn't!
The medication could only alleviate the symptoms, not cure them. Besides, the seafood powder was still flying everywhere in the valley.
Reluctantly, Charles had to jump up and continue chasing Steven!
Steven swallowed the last piece of chocolate without a word and continued running.
