I Added Everything to Strength - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Integrating into This World

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With this loud bang, He Mu’s feet sank into the ground two inches deep at once!

The bald man in front of him staggered backward three to four steps.

Without estimating He Mu’s strength and weighing the pros and cons, the bald man stood firmly and roared, once again charging at He Mu.

At that moment, he had no choice. Whether the man lying on the ground returned to his senses and fired the gun at him or the chasers behind him arrived, he was dead either way.

The only way to survive was to get into a close-quarter fight and kill this young man in white short sleeves, before using his body as a shield to kill the lying Special Operations Unit member.

As for whether he was strong enough to defeat the young man, it was too late to consider.

…

Seeing the bald man rushing over, the image of those spheres attacking himself in the reaction room flashed through He Mu’s mind, and he reflexively threw a punch at the bald man’s head.

This punch was so fast and quick that if it really hit, perhaps the head would explode on the spot.

In this life-and-death crisis, the bald man unleashed all his potential. However, He Mu’s fist still grazed the side of his face at lightning speed.

The bald man felt a sharp, immense pain, and let out a muffled grunt.

Without looking, he knew that the punch had just grazed his ear, and smashed it out.

Although he was hurt, this added to his ferocity even more. Before He Mu withdrew his fist, the bald man charged forward and clamped his arms around He Mu like he was brawling in the streets.

Soon after, he positioned himself behind He Mu, and locked his right arm around his throat.

“Die!”

The bald man exerted all his strength like a madman, as if he wanted to rip off He Mu’s head in one go.

But no matter how hard he tried, an iron pincer-like hand pulled on his arm, making it impossible for him to complete the strangling action.

Xiao Zhou witnessed this scene from the side. He didn’t know if he should fire the gun. In an instant, he was as anxious as ants on a hot griddle.

After a few seconds of struggle, He Mu gradually became calm.

Although this bald man was aggressive, his combat power wasn’t very strong. Judging from the strength of his arm, his combat power was at least five to six points lower than his.

So trying to strangle him to death was unlikely.

Recalling the scenes of a fight in his previous life as a child, He Mu stretched his right leg forward, slightly bending it. Then, he put his left hand on the bald man’s arm, and swung his right elbow to the back!

Bam!

A deep impact sounded. The pressure on He Mu’s left hand was suddenly reduced. At the same time, a warm liquid sprayed on his shoulder.

Originally, he wanted to follow up with an over-the-shoulder slam, but the force behind him was getting smaller and smaller.

The bald man eventually let go of his arm.

He Mu turned around.

Only to see the bald man lying on the ground, his eyes looking blankly at the night sky, and blood flowing out of his mouth uncontrollably.

The black undershirt on his body was drenched in blood that spread in all directions from the the center of his body.

…

At that moment, some hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

A few seconds later, Luo Sheng with six Special Operations Unit members rushed in.

One of them saw the bald man lying on the ground and fired a shot at him. Seeing that the bald man didn’t move, he went up to check the situation.

A moment later, he took a look at He Mu, then said to Luo Sheng.

“Captain, this man’s sternum is shattered. The bones have pierced his internal organs. He is dead through and through.”

Luo Sheng smiled and looked at He Mu, whose short sleeve had been dyed red, and asked: “Are you hurt?”

“No.”

Luo Sheng nodded slightly, and turned to Xiao Zhou.

“Have you locked onto Yu Dong?”

“Y-Yes…!”

Xiao Zhou completely came back to his senses and hurriedly got up from the ground, looking at the screen.

The screen showed that target number 4, Yu Dong, had already crossed the woods and ran wildly towards another residential area.

…

“Target number 7 has been killed by us.”

The slightly arrogant voice of Wei Lan came back in the headset.

Luo Sheng said: “Good job. Please return to Anju District immediately. The fugitive leader, Yu Dong, is heading there.”

“Got it.”

Receiving her reply, Luo Sheng turned to look at the group of Special Operations Unit members behind him.

“A number of innocent people have been hit and injured. You guys go and treat them, and also, rendezvous with the others to evacuate the panicked people.”

“Yes, Captain!”

The six Special Operations Unit members responded and quickly left the courtyard.

“Xiao Zhou, He Mu, you will remain here to track down target number 4, Yu Dong.”

“Okay.”

After the order was given, Luo Sheng leaped over the fence with a long jump and pursued in the direction of the Anju District.

…

“Phew… Phew…”

After Luo Sheng left, Xiao Zhou sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

“Buddy, it’s all thanks to you, I must treat you to dinner when I have time! The kind of dinner that Red Mist Fighters eat!”

“I was just doing my job, no need to stand on ceremony.”

He Mu smiled in response, and also sat down on the ground.

He fixed his gaze on the bald man’s corpse.

This was the second time he had killed someone, and the first time he instantly killed someone at that.

But he didn’t have the panic and fear that he thought he would have. There was just a sense of calmness that made him feel unnerved.

It was as if he had killed not a person, but an ordinary monster.

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too many deaths in this life?

He Mu mocked himself inwardly, before looking up at the bloody moon.

His heart gradually emptied.

He couldn’t help but think about how his big brother felt when he killed someone for the first time.

He thought about all kinds of messy stuff.

…

“Killing can’t be avoided in this world.”

He Mu murmured softly.

At that moment, in the middle of this courtyard and next to this corpse, he truly felt himself integrating into this world, feeling the temperature of this world.

…

After Xiao Zhou calmed down next to him, he continued to control the drone to track target number 4, Yu Dong.

From time to time, Luo Sheng and the three Wei siblings exchanged information about their location.

Unknowingly 10 minutes had passed, and the sound of footsteps came again outside the courtyard.

Hearing the footsteps, He Mu discarded all the distracting thoughts and stood up.

Not long after, two middle-aged men in black leather armor walked in through the opening in the fence.

“We received an instant mission from the Red Mist Alliance’s system and came here to support. May I ask if you need help?”

After walking into the courtyard, the two men said, taking out the Red Mist Alliance’s documents from their pockets and waving them at He Mu with a very natural expression.

“From the Red Mist Alliance? We don’t need support here. You guys can go and help divert the crowd and check out the explosion site…”

Xiao Zhou replied casually, his eyes didn’t leave the screen from the beginning to the end.

He Mu saw the two of them getting closer and closer, and frowned, immediately saying in a deep voice: “Stand right there. This is the control center of this operation, no one is allowed to approach!”

Hearing these words, Xiao Zhou raised his head in surprise and looked at He Mu.

The two men’s advancing steps also came to an abrupt halt.

A breeze blew by.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtyard became still.
