Chapter 338: South Park (13)

Throughout the mall parking lot, there were still many streetlights that had not been destroyed by the monsters, and the moonlight was quite strong. Therefore, the visibility of the area was not bad. But at that moment, the explosion turned everything nearby into an orange-yellow color. The heat waves shattered all the glasses of the cars within one hundred meters. Thick smoke rose into the sky, and the temperature around rose several degrees.
It was hard to tell if R2 had survived the explosion. Feng Bujue observed this from the air, and he looked quite calm. He did not think of escaping on his own. He knew very well that R2 was his only hope of leaving the sandbox ‘alive’. If R2 was really killed, even if he could escape the pursuit of the other Anomalies, he did not know how to look for the ‘backdoor’.
“Feng Bujue,” R2 suddenly said. He was speaking from somewhere faraway, but Feng Bujue heard him clearly. “Use Geppo to maintain your height altitude for a while.”CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Feng Bujue did not answer and followed his instructions. He used Geppo and kicked himself into the air before moving further away. At the same time, on the ground, R2 walked out from the burning fire and came to the middle of the parking lot. He looked unscathed; not even his outfit was burnt. Upon closer inspection, one could see a bluish glow around his body, and that layer was the biggest difference between a level two Anomaly and a low level anomaly.
“Very regretfully, ‘normal data’ is unable to hurt me.” R2 looked at the members from Origin. “It’s meaningless to borrow the weapons from the scenario. To kill me, you have to use your own power.”
The Anomalies’ expressions did not change, but they moved into the same pose. At the same second, they charged at R2 from all directions, unleashing all their power.
Two tracks trailed on the ground by R2’s feet, but that only worked to lower the force a little bit. His back slammed into the wall of the shopping mall, and a huge crack formed on the thick cement surface of the wall before he stopped fully from force.
“So, it is Beast-like Enhancement... I’m surprised a level four Anomaly can reach this level of completion.” R2 sighed. “Origin... seems to have been up to something dangerous. I’ll have to report on this when I’m back.”
“Hey... even though I wish to stay out of this...” At that moment, Feng Bujue saw that R2’s AOE had completed, so he used Geppu to slowly descend from the sky and dropped not far from R2. “But I have to ask... do you need my help?”
“Hah... So, I’m being underestimated...” R2 turned around to look at Feng Bujue and scoffed. His smile did not hold for half a second because a punch suddenly landed on his face. The ‘enhanced’ Anomaly struck while he had the upper hand. He used both hands and feet and continued to force R2 against the wall.
“That was not a bad hit.” While being beaten up, R2 still used a calm tone to converse with his opponent. “But the rest are like bug scratches.”
Suddenly, R2 disappeared from Feng Bujue’s sight. The next second, a light beam descended from the sky and split the enhanced Anomaly right down the middle. When it fell, Feng Bujue could clearly see the cross section of the dead body. Due to the surprising speed of that slash—and the astonishing evenness of the cut—the internal organs, bones, and muscles looked they came right out from an autopsy textbook.
R2 stood with ease.
“After all, he is still level four, and the strength of his data is limited. That kind of skill can’t be continuously used for long,” he said with some thought before saying to Feng Bujue without turning around. “Thank you for your concern, but you can put your cards away now.”
Feng Bujue was holding Death Poker. He was frozen like a petrified statue. He did want to lend a hand, but when he was about to make his move, the battle was already over.
“Hmm... Okay.” Feng Bujue put the Sorcery Weapon away and cleared his throat. “Fine, I believe I have a more objective understanding of your ability now... Lead the way.”
