Chapter 324: Cloak and Medal
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then looked up at the towering black walls beside him, puzzled as he asked, “Why hasn’t anyone tried to climb over the wall? Even if the wall is high, there must be someone who can use the Forbidden Ruins to leap over it, right?”
An Qingyu shook her head, casually picking up a piece of rubble from the ground and throwing it with all her might towards the top of the wall.
As soon as the stone flew over the wall, a blinding bolt of electricity erupted from the top, instantly reducing the stone to ashes.
The monastery is said to have the most secure defense system in all of Daxia, and it’s not to be taken lightly. The bricks used in each high wall have a strong conductivity. I suspect there’s a high-risk forbidden object somewhere underground that can generate electricity automatically, connected to the entire wall. If any foreign object attempts to cross above the wall and disrupts the magnetic field, it triggers an electric shock.
An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and spoke helplessly, “At first, I didn’t notice this detail either. It was just that when the riot first started, someone tried to climb over the wall and ended up getting electrocuted into a charred lump.”
“So, the only way to leave the monastery is to break through the main gate?” Lin Qiye mused.
“Exactly,” An Qingyu nodded.
Seeing Lin Qiye’s lack of response, An Qingyu turned her head and asked in confusion, “Aren’t we going to take action? If the number of prisoners keeps decreasing like this, it won’t be easy for us to break through that door.”
Lin Qiye gazed at the chaotic battlefield before him, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Let’s wait a bit longer…”
—
“Kill!!!”
“Anyone who dares to block my way must die!!”
“Over there, take down that guard blocking the way!”
“Quick!! They can’t hold on much longer! Their ammunition is running out!! Charge!!”
“I’m about to be free! Hahaha!!!”
“When I get out, the first thing I’ll do is kill all you guards who caught me! Aren’t you tough? Let’s see you try to catch me again?!”
“Hahaha! Right! Let’s capture their wives and children and make them kneel and bow to me! Once they finish, I’ll chop off their heads to use as a chamber pot!”
“Tsk tsk, if his wife is pretty, wouldn’t it be a waste to use her as a chamber pot? Hahaha!!”
“Kill, kill, kill!! Wipe them out! Our chance for revenge is here!!”
—
A large number of prisoners surged forward like fearless beasts, their numbers reduced to half, but until this moment, those who had been hiding at the back, using other prisoners as shields, finally began to show their true strength!
The real strong ones among the prisoners, who had been enduring for a long time, saw that the guards blocking their way were nearly dead and finally revealed their ferocious fangs!
Powerful figures burst out from the crowd of prisoners, charging into the military defense line like bloodthirsty wolves among sheep, beginning a frenzied slaughter!!
One prisoner killed over ten people and charged up to a tank, his hands glowing with a brown light, twisting the tank’s cannon into a spiral.
Immediately after, another prisoner descended from the sky, delivering a heavy punch to the tank’s surface, the shockwave instantly turning the driver inside into a pulp.
Boom—!!
At the same time, an armored vehicle on the other side was directly detonated, shattered steel fragments mixed with the driver’s flesh flying high into the air, scattering onto the ground.
With the blockade of those ten or so guards gone, no one could resist the prisoners’ Forbidden Ruins. The line of heavy artillery and gunfire was instantly thrown into chaos.
“Block them! Even if it means death, we must hold them back!!” Amidst the roar of artillery, the overall commander of the monastery’s external defense shouted frantically into his walkie-talkie, “If we let these madmen with superpowers return to modern society, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
A round of artillery fire only temporarily delayed the prisoners’ assault, but soon more prisoners took advantage of the gap in the artillery fire, madly surging forward and ruthlessly reaping lives.
Just as the entire defense line was about to be destroyed, a blazing flame suddenly roared from afar, precisely blocking the last line of defense, the raging fire wall causing many prisoners to halt in their tracks.
“All the guards are dead, how can there still be a Forbidden Ruins user intervening?” A prisoner furrowed his brow at this sight.
In the next moment, two men dressed in black and white striped prison uniforms slowly walked out from the flames.
Wang Lu’s gaze calmly swept over the prisoners, his right hand gently clenched into a fist, the flames dancing in his palm dissipating, and the fire wall behind him vanished without a trace, leaving only a few embers floating in the air.
“Who said all the guards are dead?”
Beside him, Fang Yanghui slowly spoke.
“It’s you two?” Someone in the crowd quickly recognized the two, bursting into laughter, “What’s this? Two murderers expelled from the guards, now trying to play the hero?”
“Don’t forget, you’re no longer guards! The moment you took off your cloak, removed your medals, and put on this prison uniform, you became just like us! You’re prisoners! You’re criminals!”
“Are you looking for death by standing in our way?!”
“Look! Two fools! Hahahaha…”
“Isn’t that why I say all guards are a bunch of idiots? The guards I easily killed using hostages were fools, and so are these two!”
“Since they want to block the way, let’s just kill them!”
“Kill them!!”
—
In the crowd, the piercing mockery continued endlessly, one prisoner after another charged out, filled with murderous intent towards Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui.
Wang Lu stood quietly, watching the overwhelming attacks, slowly speaking:
“What does it matter if we’re not wearing cloaks? What does it matter if we’re in prison uniforms?”
He extended his hands, gripping the collar of his prison uniform, and with a sudden force, easily tore the uniform into shreds!
As the prison uniform ripped apart, Wang Lu stood bare-chested, his bronze, muscular body covered in scar after scar! Knife wounds, gunshot wounds, burn marks, stab wounds… a dense array of scars intertwined, resembling an ugly yet magnificent cloak!
A dark red cloak.
Fang Yanghui also tore apart his prison uniform, revealing even more scars than Wang Lu.
Wang Lu’s fists ignited with flames, his gaze fixed on the prisoners before him as he shouted loudly:
“The scars on my body are my cloak! The bullet holes on my body are my medals!!”
“Without this prison uniform, I still have these cloaks and medals! You’ve taken off your prison uniforms, but you’re still a bunch of disgusting, ugly insects!”
As his voice fell, a surge of flames erupted around Wang Lu, exploding outward, as he stood bare-chested amidst the flames, like a deity watching over the mortal realm, standing firm before the last line of defense.
“Guard Wang Lu is here, who dares to fight?!”
