Food God System: Wasteland

Upon hearing Bode's explanation, Andrew calmed down. Upon careful reflection, it made sense.

In this operation, their police squad was only responsible for the periphery. There was no need to get themselves fully involved. Being too deep into it was beneficial to no one.

Bode gazed far into the distance, speaking softly, "Andrew, sometimes remember to preserve your strength. Climbing too high without regard often leaves you without support, and even if you hold a high position, you are unstable, reduced to a mere pawn on someone else's board.

You think the council is supporting me now? They are merely trying to better control me.

The position of the Judicial Bureau Chief... if you forcefully take it without having enough strength, it's just an empty sadness."

Andrew listened, half understanding.

Bode didn't expect him to understand, and gathering his men, he resolved the blockade of the entire block.

As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with him.

...

Outside the Great Wall, the desert was traversed by the convoy led by An Nishang, stirring up a storm of yellow sand.

An increasingly intense killing intent emanated from An Nishang's heart, her eyes were crimson red as if stained with blood.

Those familiar with An Nishang knew how utterly reckless the chief was at this moment.

Angduo and Kainan could only pray that those madmen wouldn't really kill the chief's male lover. Otherwise, with An Nishang in her current state, even they wouldn't know what kind of crazed actions she might take, possibly causing dramatic shifts in the political landscape of the Ninth Special Zone.

...

At the Wildfire Gang's base.

Hawkeye and Ten Directions Blade were filled with a strong sense of dread. The exuberant killing intent emanating from Xia Na made them feel the threat of death.

Limit Activation.

A state for Demon Pattern users.

When activating the limit state, the body pays a great price, severely consuming lifespan in extreme cases, but the Demon Pattern is pushed to its utmost limit, energy increasing exponentially.

The nearby warehouse had already collapsed into a ruin, burying all life beneath it. Xia Na, upon seeing this scene, felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, her anger erupting like a volcano.

She wanted everyone present dead, especially Ten Directions Blade and Hawkeye!

Sensing danger, Ten Directions Blade and Hawkeye wanted nothing but to leave immediately, as an enraged Demon Pattern user could drag them down into Hell!

Without hesitation, they shouted, "Let's go quickly!"

They didn't believe Chen Che survived being buried under the warehouse. The reinforced concrete structure had hundreds of tons of pressure crushing down, making it impossible to survive, even for someone of steel and iron.

Since the target was presumably dead, there was no need to battle Xia Na here.

Xia Na glanced back at the ruins, biting her lip tightly. Lightning began to bloom brilliantly on her body, and as she stepped forward, the Tang Blade unleashed a sudden discharge.

The blade aimed directly at the two, that deadly killing intent roared within their hearts, the crisis warning almost sending them into a panic.

"Quick, go!"

"Wait, confirm that guy's completely dead!"

Robbie, observing from afar, felt his heart pounding too, but he wasn't sure if Chen Che was completely dead, so he didn't immediately call for his men to leave.

All the gang members involved in the siege formed a circle, still surrounding the area.

"Throw your grenades up there, even if he's in the ruins. I want him dead with these explosions! Not even his corpse should remain!"

Robbie's shout filled his subordinates with madness, yet they followed his orders, throwing dozens of grenades at the warehouse ruins, causing continuous explosions and secondary damage.

Whatever living being remained inside had to be killed by the explosions!

An additional collapse occurred on the warehouse ruins.

"Die!" Xia Na, enraged, charged into the crowd, her form creating a streak of blue lightning, her blade flashing wildly. Cries of pain and calls echoed amidst the crowd, with over a dozen losing their lives to Xia Na's blade in such a brief instant!

This is how the Transcendent becomes when driven to madness.

Ten Directions Blade and Hawkeye suddenly felt the pressure, immediately moving to stall Xia Na, while telling everyone to withdraw, as far away as possible.

Yet just as Xia Na became more frenzied, eager to go all out to kill these two damn culprits right here.

A swarm of black clouds suddenly emerged in the sky.

Alongside, there was a piercing noise eerie enough to send chills down one's spine.

As everyone looked up, they discovered that rapidly moving black cloud was no ordinary cloud.

Clearly, it was a swirling mass of black ravens gathered together.

The cluster of ravens emitted terrifying shrieks, their calls resounding through the skies.

Sending shivers down everyone's hearts.

Everyone present couldn't help but pause and gaze at the cloud above.

Uncertain as to what caused this phenomenon.

Suddenly, Xia Na seemed to realize something, her pupils widening in surprise as she looked towards the depths of the ruin.

Boom boom boom!!!

A mechanical roar echoed in everyone's ears, initially soft, then becoming deafening and fierce.

Hum hum hum!!!!

Growing louder and louder, the noise intensifying, causing a profound sense of unease.

"This sound is..." Xia Na found the sound familiar yet strange, after pondering for a moment, she connected this noise with something in her mind.
