Chapter 70 A Stern Warning

Li Wei's slash directly had a nearly eviscerating effect on the flesh and blood giant.
The whirlwind mixed with demonic power erupted inside its body, causing terrifying damage. Nearly half of the internal organs in the flesh giant's body were torn into pieces by the violent wind and demonic energy, and they were thrown out through the huge wound.
In the one or two seconds of the whirlwind's eruption, this flesh giant had already lost nearly one-third of its blood and half of its internal organs.
If this monster were in good condition, perhaps it would still be able to withstand the damage Li Wei had inflicted on it, not ending up in such a miserable state. However, while the flesh giant was renowned for its vitality, these injuries far exceeded its capacity to endure.
The miserable and broken body slowly fell to the ground. The flesh giant was not dead yet; there was still a last breath left. It lay on the ground, its body twitching, its mouth gasping, struggling with the last bit of stubborn vitality, but death was inevitable.
A hammer struck its head, flattening its face; another blow, and the monster at death's door was killed outright.
The one who struck was Wang Erde. He stood up and said, "It's better to finish off the monster completely."
Li Wei smiled bitterly, raised his hand, and said, "I'm out of strength..."
Wang Erde laughed heartily as he put away his war hammer and pulled Li Wei up, saying, "Nice to meet you, I'm Wang Erde. You're a hunter from the Four Leaf Clover Guild, right? You're very strong."
"I'm Li Wei."
"You're Li Wei?" Beside Wang Erde, Zheng Zaishun, who had just come over, said incredulously.
Li Wei recognized Zheng Zaishun's voice; he was the one who had said some inappropriate things over the communication device. He didn't intend to dwell on it, but he wasn't going to be friendly either. He just smiled faintly, acknowledging it.
It was Zheng Zaishun who was now extremely embarrassed and at the same time blaming Wells in his heart.
If Wells hadn't told him that Li Wei had not completed extreme hammer training, how could he have said such inappropriate things?
Now, looking at it, Li Wei's astonishing shot that interrupted the machine gun on the flesh giant's back, and Li Wei's blow that combined wind and darkness power, were both incredibly powerful.
Forget about the extreme level; even if the four of them who had opened the gene locks had just fought this flesh giant, who had been besieged for so long, who else could have achieved such a beautiful attack?
This destructive power was definitely at the limit of the first development level. Even many second development level skills probably couldn't reach this level.
Zheng Zaishun regretted it now. He thought about it and considered if there was any way to ease the relationship as much as possible.
Banderray, Qianlong, and Cai Yutong walked over from not far away.
Cai Yutong asked, "Is this your ability to kill that giant mutant centipede with one move?"
"Yes."
Cai Yutong smiled bitterly, "Indeed, you are as strong as ever."
Banderray and Qianlong, who had returned to the guild earlier and didn't know about the incident, asked.
After Cai Yutong explained to them, Banderray said, "I regret it a bit. Accompanying Old Qian back to the guild, nothing happened. The monsters around the guild were almost all cleared out at that time. If I had known you could encounter a giant radiation centipede, I would have gone with you. Just mix in for some achievements, tsk tsk..."
He was joking, of course, but his surprise was real.
If before, if Cai Yutong had said that she and Li Wei had killed a giant centipede that surpassed the extreme level, a monster that could challenge a higher level, he would not have believed it, even if the monster had failed in its transformation, the gap between the two levels was too great.
However, now that he had personally witnessed the power Li Wei possessed, he had no reason not to believe it.
If everyone was surprised and praised by the power Li Wei had shown appropriately, then Wells, who was standing aside and not joining the discussion, could be described as turbulent in his heart.
He looked at Li Wei, surrounded by everyone like a hero, with a complex expression, full of disbelief.
In the past, among all the peers in the Four Leaf Clover Guild, except for Cai Yutong, no one had been taken seriously by him. Wells was someone who thought highly of himself, and it was precisely because of this that he was jealous of Cai Yutong, who was always above him, and always followed her, snatching her prey and her commissions.
It wasn't for the rewards of the commissions; for Wells, who came from a family in the demon-hunting world, the rewards of low-level tasks were not much more than his pocket money. He did this to be annoying, to prove to Cai Yutong and the others in the guild that he was not inferior to Cai Yutong.
Because of this reckless behavior, irreparable consequences ensued. Wells had been tormented by this in the past few days and regretted his obsession, jealousy, and foolishness in the past.
And now, seeing the power Li Wei truly possessed, he felt even more ridiculous about his past.
What's the point of fighting for that breath? Looking up, less than a month ago, Li Wei hadn't even completed extreme hammer training and was already able to overthrow himself.
And now, he could only slaughter small fry monsters with Cai Yutong here, while others? Four skilled individuals who had unlocked their gene locks and had been besieging this monster for so long, all the monsters under his blade had died directly.
No matter how Li Wei did it, no matter how other comrades and companions created opportunities for him, Wells would never have been able to achieve the goal of a decisive blow under the same circumstances.
This meant that Li Wei had already pulled ahead of him by a whole level.
Wells was deeply affected, and he didn't even know how to accept this fact.
Looking at Li Wei, surrounded by everyone like a hero, Wells felt like a complete failure.
He failed as a competitor, failed as a friend, and even failed as a human being.
He staggered back a few steps, and even stumbled over a body lying on the ground, almost falling.
Stumbling, Wells walked away, his eyes blank.
Hearing the commotion over here, Li Wei and the others turned their heads.
"What's wrong with Wells?" Zheng Zaishun, who came from the Iron Cross Avenue branch, couldn't understand what was going on.
"Ah..." Cai Yutong, who had the most contact with Wells, sighed again, then looked at Li Wei. She had hoped that Wells would stay, but she was unsure of Li Wei's thoughts, and she didn't dare to make decisions on her own in this matter.
Li Wei spoke up.
He shouted, "Wells!"
Wells stopped in his tracks, and for some reason, his voice became somewhat hoarse. "What? Are you here to mock me as a victor? Come then, this is the retribution I deserve."
"Who has the time to mock you? Don't think you're so important, and don't think you're someone special in other people's minds. Except for those closest to you, no one cares what you're thinking or what your future will be."
Wells snorted and said, "Go on, continue. Let's see what else you can say."
Li Wei said coldly, "Just look at you now, acting so pitiful. Who do you want to pity you? Who do you want to comfort you?"
Wells was somewhat enraged. He turned his head, stared at Li Wei, and said, "I don't need anyone's pity!"
Li Wei retorted, "Then stop showing that annoying face of yours! I heard you're the descendant of a hero, then you should bear your responsibility!"
Wells's breathing became heavy, and he gasped for breath. Li Wei's words just now, one after another, were like mountains weighing heavily on his heart.
Cai Yutong pulled Li Wei's arm and looked at Wells with some concern, whispering, "Don't provoke him like this; his recent mental state..."
"You don't need to worry!" Wells obviously heard Cai Yutong's words. He shouted, "I don't need your fake sympathy!"
Li Wei scolded, "Then come over here! Do what you should do! As a demon hunter, just because of your own ridiculous and pathetic mood, you're putting aside all the commissions that follow? Childish and cowardly!"
Wells's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what to do.
Li Wei continued, "No one is going to give you a way out. Wang Erde, Zheng Zaishun, you two are more familiar with the situation of the refugee group. Please gather manpower as soon as possible. We are ready to set off."
"What about..." Zheng Zaishun glanced at Wells, "What about him?"
"Don't worry about him." Li Wei deliberately raised his voice so that Wells could hear, "If he's a demon hunter, he'll come along; if he's a coward, he should leave as soon as possible!"
...
Twenty minutes later, the refugee group slowly walked out of the gate of the community and began to head towards the resettlement camp. Armed militia members guarded the perimeter of the group, with Wang Erde and his two traveler companions leading the way, Banderray and Qianlong also providing support. Zheng Zaishun and his two hunter companions were at the back of the group, in case of any accidents, while Li Wei and Cai Yutong were also here.
"Will Wells follow?" Cai Yutong asked Li Wei.
"Let's see if he has any backbone."
"Ah... Li Wei, what you said just now was... really harsh."
"If he can't even handle this, what kind of man is he?"
"Okay..." Cai Yutong lowered her head, pondering over what Li Wei had said earlier.
At first listen, Li Wei's words had been very harsh, as if deliberately humiliating Wells. But Cai Yutong knew that Li Wei was not that kind of person; those words were ultimately meant to motivate Wells.
Some things, people have to figure out for themselves. If they figure it out, it's like passing a test; if they don't, then that's all there is to it.
However, she didn't know if Wells would be able to figure it out.
When she raised her head, Cai Yutong saw a figure approaching from behind.
It was Wells.
She smiled, feeling inexplicably happy.
...
On the way to the resettlement camp, Li Wei and the others encountered no major troubles. There were some scattered semi-mechanical monsters, but under the sweep and strike of the strong team, they posed no threat to the refugee group.
This was Li Wei's first visit to the refugee settlement camp in the Four Leaf Clover Community.
It seemed that this place used to be a school. The classrooms had been temporarily transformed into houses, and temporary tents had been set up in places like the school playground.
The security of the refugee settlement camp was the responsibility of the Four Leaf Clover Guild. Li Wei saw that there were at least two squads, about a dozen hunters stationed here. At the same time, the police officers from the Four Leaf Clover Community Police Station were also here, maintaining order in the settlement camp and serving as a defense force.
Of course, these defense forces seemed a bit weak. After all, there were already at least six thousand refugees in this settlement camp, and relying on just a few hunters and a few police officers to oversee them was not an easy task.
Fortunately, most of the residents in this upper district had their own weapons, such as firearms. Regardless of their individual skills, organizing adult males to pick up weapons and become militia members could generally form a certain fighting force to protect their safety.
Li Wei had heard some rumors that the guild's plan was to arrange for ten thousand people to settle in this refugee settlement camp, and then all of them would be escorted out of the Four Leaf Clover Community at once and sent outside to be resettled by the government of Wisdoom.
Now, the Four Leaf Clover branch had already temporarily set up four refugee camps, and it was said that a wave of people had been sent out yesterday and the day before. It was estimated that in about a week's time, most of the residents of the Four Leaf Clover Community would be evacuated.
After that, when the guild cleaned up the semi-mechanical monsters in the community, the resettlement of the residents, and the reconstruction of the community, it would be the responsibility of the city government and the kingdom government, and the guild would no longer continue to be involved.
Li Wei and the others, after handing over the refugee resettlement task to the staff here and receiving the certificate, represented the completion of their mission.
Zheng Zaishun and the others received the completion certificate for the escort mission—only the mission evaluation was relatively low, so the rewards would probably be greatly reduced. Li Wei's team received a good evaluation and basically received the full reward.
This way, they could head back and hand over the mission, receiving the rewards they deserved.
Just as they were preparing to leave, Wang Erde approached Li Wei.
