I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 1169 The First Captain

"Sizzle sizzle!"

With a piercing sound like metal scraping, the sword, imbued with all of Qin Zhong's strength, pierced through the swastika-shaped limb with difficulty yet with irresistible force, and then through the limb and the shadowy sea behind it.

"How could this be! I cannot be defeated by humans who are as insignificant as ants!"

Gazing at the crystalline sword blade piercing his chest, Haiying's eyes flashed with disbelief. As a god of the ocean, he never imagined that one day he would be driven to the brink of despair by a group of humans.

At this moment, Qin Zhong's sword was releasing a powerful corrosive force, which not only damaged Hai Ying's vital chest area but also continued to spread, threatening to completely erode him.

"Human, even if it costs me my life, I will take yours!"

Knowing that the battle was over, a fierce glint flashed in Haiying's eyes. With a roar, he unleashed all his power, his body expanding rapidly like an overinflated balloon, which finally burst with a bang.

The violent explosion turned Haiying's tough flesh into a deadly weapon. In an instant, all the evolved beings within a hundred meters of Qin Zhong were pierced through their bodies by flying fragments of flesh and blood.

At the same time, a blood-red shadow rose into the air from the center of the explosion and flew towards the sky at an astonishing speed.

This crimson shadow is Haiying's soul. Although his body is destroyed, his soul is not seriously injured. As long as he can escape, he will have the opportunity to be reborn in another body.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Gazing at the crimson shadow rising into the air, Qin Chong endured the excruciating pain of being pierced, roared, and hurled a spear with all his might from his left hand.

With Qin Chong's full-force throw, his left hand transformed into a spear, instantly detaching from his body and becoming a streak of light, accompanied by a thunderous sonic boom, chasing straight after the blood-red shadow.

The next moment, the spear pierced through the blood-red shadow, and at the same time, a burst of deep yellow flames completely incinerated it.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Qin Chong was slightly relaxed after slaying Hai Ying's soul, a gaunt figure soared through the air with a whooshing sound, his dagger aimed straight at Qin Chong's chest. This person actually wanted to assassinate Qin Chong while he was severely injured by Hai Ying's self-destruction!

"Heh, courting death..." Sensing the approaching assassin, Qin Zhong showed no panic. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

"Sizzle...crack!" The gaunt man was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Qin Zhong, his black dagger piercing straight into his chest. But Qin Zhong seemed to have no reaction at all, remaining completely still.

However, just as a hint of smugness flashed in the man's eyes, countless golden threads suddenly appeared in front of Qin Zhong, bursting out with dazzling golden light as they abruptly contracted.

With a soft crackling sound of electricity striking a human body, the approaching, emaciated figure was burned to ashes and turned into a mutilated corpse before it could even scream.

At the same time, Qin Zhong's whole body shimmered with silver light, and the blood-red energy wrapped around the wound was instantly expelled, and the wound healed rapidly.

"Theodore, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

After recovering using his metallic mimicry superpower, Qin Chong stared coldly at Theodore and said, word by word, "I helped your tribe eliminate a formidable enemy, yet your members attempted to assassinate me. This is far too unethical."

"Ahem, Blade Runner, you must believe this was absolutely not my intention!"

Facing Qin Chong's icy gaze, Theodore, clutching his abdomen pierced by shattered bones, solemnly said, "Believe me, you've proven your strength. How could I be foolish enough to become your enemy?"

"Really? But the facts before me are hard for me to believe..."

Qin Zhong glanced contemptuously at the charred corpse on the ground and sneered, "Perhaps someone saw that I was severely injured and wanted to assassinate me. In fact, if the sneak attack had succeeded, even more people would probably have appeared to surround and kill me. You dare say that this wishful thinking wasn't instigated by you?"

"No, absolutely not!" Upon hearing this, Theodore's eyes sharpened, and he took two steps back, his face tense and on guard.

……

In fact, Qin Zhong's guess was correct. Hai Ying's counterattack before his death made Qin Zhong appear seriously injured, which is why Theodore had ulterior motives.

It should be noted that Qin Zhong was the closest to Hai Ying and also bore most of the damage from Hai Ying's self-destruction. These attacks pierced through almost Qin Zhong's entire body, leaving hundreds of bloody holes of varying sizes.

The Shadow's self-destruction not only pierced through the enemy's body, but the crimson energy carried by the severed limbs and broken bones was also extremely troublesome, capable of suppressing all healing superpowers. Otherwise, Theodore's abdominal wound would not have remained unhealed to this day.

Observing that Qin Zhong's combat strength had clearly dropped to its lowest point, Theodore tacitly approved the gaunt man's assassination attempt.

Just as Qin Zhong had predicted, once the gaunt man succeeded, it would mean that Qin Zhong was extremely weak. At that time, Theodore would order the remaining evolved humans and soldiers to surround and kill Qin Zhong.

After all, the M country's League of Legends has lost more than half of its strength after this battle. If Qin Chong is not killed in this opportunity, he may be able to wipe out the League once he recovers from his injuries and displays his power!

"Hmph, whether it's true or not, you know perfectly well!"

Seeing Theodore's slightly flustered expression, Qin Zhong frowned, considering whether to simply eliminate him. He didn't want to be remembered by an enemy forever.

Just then, accompanied by a loud whooshing sound, a burly figure suddenly shot out from the Tower of Babel in the camp and rushed towards the wall.

"Huh, I didn't expect you to have a trump card up your sleeve..." Sensing the subtle pressure emanating from that burly figure, Qin Zhong's eyes narrowed, and he immediately became vigilant, preparing for a possible fierce battle.

"Hehehe, Blade Warrior, is it? I never imagined that during the few months I was in seclusion, China would produce such a powerful evolved being as you."

Before the person even arrived, a deep, resonant voice could be heard. What surprised Qin Zhong the most was that the person was speaking fluent, authentic Chinese.

Hearing this Mandarin spoken even more fluently than that of native Chinese speakers, Qin Zhong was slightly taken aback. He never expected that there would be someone in the League of Legends game in the United States who could speak such fluent Chinese.

With a soft "thud," the burly figure leaped into the air and landed gently on the wall.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a short beard and medium-length blond curly hair. His gentle yet profound eyes exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

Sensing a faint sense of danger emanating from this man, Qin Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly. This was actually a super strong expert who was almost at the eighth level.

If we were to define this man, we could say he's halfway to level eight. Judging from the energy fluctuations around him, it seems he'll be able to advance to level eight in no time.

"Could it be that he absorbed an eighth-level crystal core?"

Sensing the energy fluctuations within the middle-aged man's body, Qin Zhong narrowed his eyes, his energy surging wildly throughout his body, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

However, with this middle-aged man present, along with Theodore and the remaining League of Legends Evolvers, eliminating them all today might be quite troublesome.

"Young man, don't be nervous, we're not enemies!" Sensing Qin Zhong's wariness, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said something that surprised Qin Zhong.

"Old Captain!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man appear, Theodore's expression relaxed. He walked behind him and respectfully asked, "Weren't you in seclusion digesting that level-eight crystal core? Why did you suddenly come out?"

"You think I want to come out? If you don't come out now, the entire alliance will be ruined by you! You can't even tell friend from foe, you fool!"

Upon hearing Theodore's words, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he struck Theodore in the abdomen with a palm strike.

Suddenly, accompanied by a muffled thud, Theodore coughed up a mouthful of blood, knocked off the wall by the middle-aged man, and crashed heavily into a building next to the wall. His fate was unknown.

"Hehe..." Seeing the middle-aged man suddenly strike and send Theodore flying, Qin Zhong's lips curled slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

Theodore was severely injured by the middle-aged man, but the other evolved humans and soldiers on the wall only showed surprise and no one questioned the reason.

This shows that the middle-aged man holds a very high position in League of Legends. Coupled with Theodore's earlier address of "Old Captain," the middle-aged man's identity is self-evident.

"Hello, I am Joseph, the founding captain of the League of Legends in the United States!"

After knocking Theodore away, the middle-aged man's sharp expression vanished, and he said gently to Qin Zhong, "After the apocalypse, I led the creation of the League of Legends. A few days ago, I exchanged an eighth-level crystal core from the Y-planet people, so I went into seclusion to absorb it, entrusting all the affairs of the League to Theodore. I never expected him to be so muddle-headed..."

At this point, the middle-aged man, Joseph, bowed deeply to Qin Zhong and said with deep gratitude, "First of all, I want to thank you for your great help to the League of Legends. If it weren't for you, our base would probably be in ruins today. Secondly, I want to apologize to you for Theodore's recklessness. The pressure and crisis of the apocalypse made him momentarily confused and unable to distinguish friend from foe. The League of Legends will definitely make appropriate compensation to you for this."

"Hehe, it's alright. He's not thinking straight, it's enough that you stay clear-headed." Faced with Joseph's thanks, Qin Zhong just smiled calmly, the playful expression on his face becoming more and more obvious.

The old man had just sent Theodore flying with a single palm strike, which on the surface appeared to be a punishment for his reckless behavior, but in reality, it was an opportunity to disperse the crimson energy that was wrapped around Theodore's lower abdomen.

Therefore, the blood that Theodore spat out corroded a small crater when it hit the ground.

However, Qin Zhong did not reveal this matter.

After all, Demon Mountain and the X-Men are the greatest threats to Earth, and compared to the danger posed by the X-Men, the hostility of the League of Legends is simply insignificant.

Moreover, Qin Zhong also needs to rely on the power of the League of Legends to restrain Demon Mountain and the X-Stars.

Furthermore, Joseph's sudden appearance and the energy fluctuations emanating from him demonstrated his extraordinary strength, so Qin Zhong naturally did not want to risk a conflict with him on his own territory.
