My neighborhood has time-traveled.

"Captain Li Hao is back!"

"Wow! The mutated bird was killed in an instant."

"That's amazing!"

"oh!"

The residents of the community were in an uproar.

Li Hao, who was in the air, reached out his hand to the person below.

The enormous bird carcass, which was falling at breakneck speed, suddenly stopped falling and then slowly landed.

"Li Hao's strength seems to have increased again."

Wang Hao stopped next to Wang Yi, looked up and murmured.

"The stronger Captain Li Hao is, the safer our community will be," Wang Yi said with a smile.

He admired Li Hao's strength from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, who says otherwise? Come on, let's go over there." Wang Hao looked at Li Hao who had landed and went to greet him with a smile.

"boom."

Li Hao put down the mutated vine in his hand.

Zhang Xiaonan, Zhao Meng, and the others also landed one by one and put down the mutated vines.

"Looks like you had a good harvest," Wang Hao said with a smile, glancing at the vines covering the open space.

Li Hao nodded. "This trip was indeed very fruitful." He pointed to the mutated vines on the ground.

"This mutated vine is very sturdy, even stronger than the iron tree, and we harvested a lot of evolution stones from it."

Li Hao took out a bag and handed it to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao opened the bag, his pupils immediately contracted, and he stared at Li Hao in shock, "So many!"

He couldn't help but ask, "Besides eliminating this mutated vine, have you also eliminated other mutated lord creatures?"

Li Hao explained, "This mutated vine and this bag of evolution stones were both obtained from this mutated vine."

"I never expected that just one mutated vine could yield so many evolution stones!"

"That's fantastic! You've really done a great job this time!"

Wang Hao was overjoyed.

He opened the bag again and looked at the evolution stones of different colors inside.

Most of them are white, and there are probably more than a hundred of them.

A small portion is white with a few streaks of blue, and there are also dozens of them.

The minimum must be all light blue, and there are dozens of them.

That is to say, there are dozens of level 2 evolution stones alone.

With so many evolution stones, the strength of the evolvers in their community is enough to be raised to a new level.

Li Hao put his arm around Wang Hao's shoulder, walked him aside, and said to him, "I have already consumed a level 3 evolution stone."

"That's only natural, you don't need to tell me anymore." Wang Hao looked at Li Hao seriously. "To be honest, Li Hao, this community would have been destroyed long ago if it weren't for you. You can use our community's resources however you want."

Li Hao simply smiled at this.

"Don't laugh, don't think I'm joking. You think I don't know that without you, where would these evolution stones come from? The fact that you were willing to give them to me shows the greatest trust you can place in me," Wang Hao said, putting his arm around Li Hao's shoulder with a broad smile.

"Although I am now the nominal city lord of Dawn City, you are far more prestigious than me. It's just that you're afraid of trouble, otherwise I would really like to hand over this city lord position to you."

Li Hao laughed, put his arm around Wang Hao's shoulder and walked into a building. "Don't be like that. Everyone has their own expertise. I'm suited to fighting on the front lines, but you're more suited to managing the logistics of the community."

Wang Hao shook his head, "You're too modest."

Li Hao changed the subject, "By the way, when will the power plant be completed?"

"This month, I guess."

The two entered the building and went to several rooms of the implanted mother.

The cyborg mother body expands and contracts.

Li Hao loosened his grip on Wang Hao's shoulder.

Wang Hao naturally opened the bag and fed the evolution stones inside to the colony mother.

"Has the killer still not been found?" Li Hao suddenly asked.

"Without surveillance footage, we can't be sure, but we have some clues," Wang Hao replied while feeding the evolution stones.

His tone was somewhat heavy.

"What kind of clue is it?" Li Hao asked.

Wang Hao said, "The marks on the neck that you mentioned, after analysis, are not from a rope, but should be some kind of metal wire."

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "In other words, the murderer used metal wire to wrap around the victim's neck, causing the death."

"Yes." Wang Hao nodded.

Li Hao didn't ask any more questions, his eyes thoughtful.

evening.

sunset.

After dinner.

Li Hao handed several blue evolution stones to Li Wen, then returned to his room.

in the room.

Chen Sihan is changing into her pajamas.

"This is for you."

After she finished changing, Li Hao handed her a blue evolution stone.

"Wow, thank you, Brother Hao." Chen Sihan took the evolution stone and kissed him on the cheek.

After Chen Sihan took the medicine, Li Haozhi's brain immediately displayed her latest data.

Bioenergy intensity ≈ 201-205 standard units

[Strength Level Assessment: Level Two]

"Brother Hao, I feel like I've changed. I feel like I'm full of power." Chen Sihan clenched her little fist, a little excited.

Li Hao smiled and said, "That's because you've broken through from level one to level two."

"Level 2!" Chen Sihan exclaimed with delight.

It should be noted that level two is considered top-tier combat power in the community.

Li Hao had told him that even the mutated giant snake from before, according to its strength, was only considered to be at the peak of level one, not level two.

Unexpectedly, in just a short time, her strength has become even greater than that mutated giant snake!

She suddenly pounced on Li Hao, "Thank you, Brother Hao, it's all because of you that I was able to evolve to level two." She had already covered Li Hao's mouth with her own, her eyes glazed over.

afterwards.

Chen Sihan lay contentedly in Li Hao's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Li Hao touched her fat but didn't sleep. Instead, he closed his eyes and silently radiated his force field.

It covers an area of ​​500 meters in radius.

"Huh? The blood moon has descended again!"

Without even looking, he immediately sensed the change in the external force field.

It was exactly the same as the previous two blood moons.

outside.

The silvery-white moon slowly turned blood red.

late at night.

Dawn City was submerged in an endless crimson hue, with only patrol members shining their flashlights.

On the other side, inside the room.

Zhou Jianming lay on the bed with his eyes open, listening to the wind outside the window.

The scenes from the daytime kept replaying in my mind.

Aunt Chen's heart-wrenching cries.

Wang Hao's face was ashen.

Li Hao's silent back view.

And the women's terrified eyes, their cowering figures as they supported each other.

A smile slowly crept onto the corners of his mouth.

Aren't you scared?

The more afraid you are, the better.

Only when they are afraid will they obediently listen.

Only when people are afraid will they be manipulated by others.

An image had already appeared in his mind: a young woman, too afraid to resist, letting him do as he pleased.

He suddenly sat up in bed and looked out the window.

"A blood-red moon."

I had just looked up when the blood-red moon was mostly obscured by thick clouds.

Nights like this are perfect for hunting.

Zhou Jianming stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the building across the street.

The window on the fourth floor was dark.

That was Su Qing's room.

The woman was twenty-five or twenty-six years old, beautiful, and was an elementary school teacher before she transmigrated.

Her husband died when Behemoth attacked the neighborhood, and she now lives alone.

Zhou Jianming had been observing her for several days.

She either helps with needlework, or she helps with grilling meat and planting crops.

He doesn't talk much and always keeps his head down. Occasionally, when he looks up, a hint of sadness flashes in his eyes.

These past two days, women have been living in fear, and she is especially like a frightened bird.

Tonight, it's her.

Zhou Jianming took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Metal perception, fully deployed.

An invisible force, like mercury spilling onto the ground, spread in all directions.

This building, that building, all the steel bars, water pipes, door locks, window frames... every metal object clearly appeared in his mind.

Including himself.

He has been making preparations in secret for the past two days.

With metal plates beneath his feet and two meticulously crafted alloy strips strapped to his leg bones—thin, strong, and light—he could fly like Magneto from the legends.

A fine metal wire was wrapped around his waist, ready to be used as a weapon at any time.

Inside the fabric, hundreds of tiny metal particles, each the size of a grain of rice, were sewn in.

This is his proudest work, which can be dispersed at crucial moments to serve as his "eyes".

These particles are too small and too light to attract anyone's attention.

But each of them is connected to his metal perception, covering a range of up to 100 meters.

Any creature that enters this area will disturb those particles, which he will sense immediately.

This is his biggest secret and his strongest trump card.

With these, he could get a heads-up and escape before anyone could find him.

Even Li Hao couldn't get close to him silently.

Zhou Jianming opened his eyes, his smile deepening.

Tonight is going to be very interesting.

He pushed open the door and disappeared into the night.

Metal abilities were quietly activated.

Her footsteps were as light as a cat's, landing without a sound.

He walked forward step by step, then floated up and stood in mid-air.

He looked up at the sky.

The clouds were so thick that the moonlight could barely penetrate.

well.

Metal ability activated.

The alloy strips on his feet and legs trembled slightly as his body slowly flew towards another building.

This feeling is absolutely wonderful.

Li Hao, who do you think you are? Give me time, and I'll be a god too!

One day, I will make everyone see this scene and then kneel before me.

Zhou Jianming smiled silently, his body floating forward like a ghost, disappearing into the pitch-black night.

At the same time.

Another building, fourth floor.

Li Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

A cold smile curved his lips.

"A mouse has appeared."
