Chapter 10 Punishment

At Li Tianran's command, the Hound-class Warrior opened its steel jaws and leaped out of the wall. In a second, the flames engulfed the strongmen attacking the farm!

Screams echoed as five human torches instantly appeared!

The intense heat, capable of melting steel, incinerated everything.

In less than thirty seconds, the thugs were completely erased from existence.

As the farm gates swung open, Li Tianran walked out with a cold smile, heading towards the surviving Zhong Ling and Sun Dayou in the distance.

The two of them were petrified with fear, trembling uncontrollably, looking at Li Tianran as if he were a terrifying demon approaching them!

Zhong Ling proposed the attack, and Sun Dayou orchestrated it.

But they never imagined that Li Tianran's farm had such formidable defensive power, far beyond their comprehension!

Seeing the thugs annihilated without a trace, Zhong Ling and Sun Dayou were completely panicked.

Their teeth chattered uncontrollably, making a "clack clack clack" sound.

"Ah!" Finally, Zhong Ling couldn't contain her fear. She screamed, turned, yanked open the car door, and scrambled inside, locking the door and cowering in the space between the seats, shivering.

Seeing the situation was dire, Sun Dayou started running towards another car with his heavy legs.

Once he got into the driver's seat and started the engine, he didn't believe Li Tianran could catch up to four wheels with just two legs!

Li Tianran couldn't catch a car. Even though his physical abilities surpassed ordinary people, he still couldn't compare to powerful machines. But Sun Dayou forgot one thing: Li Tianran couldn't catch the car, but that didn't mean he couldn't catch him.

Sun Dayou was panting heavily as he ran desperately when he suddenly felt an immense force slam into him!

Li Tianran had caught up and kicked him!

Thump!

Sun Dayou's 180-jin body was kicked forward three or four meters by Li Tianran's kick, slamming into the truck door and creating a large dent in the metal!

Ignoring the intense pain all over his body, Sun Dayou, blood streaming from his mouth and nose, curled up like a dying dog, clutching his head and howling, "Don't kill me! I'll give you money, I'll give you all my money!"

The scene of the thugs' deaths had left too deep a psychological scar on Sun Dayou. He was utterly terrified.

Li Tianran felt no pity in his heart.

People like Sun Dayou had hearts twisted like maggots!

If it weren't for the Warrior guarding the farm today, they would have already broken through the walls, entered the small building, and started their violence!

And once the perpetrators started committing evil, their bottom line would completely collapse. Maybe after looting the grain, they would have casually tortured and killed him and his sister…

The thought of that horrible scenario filled Li Tianran with intense anger.

"Crack!"

Li Tianran stepped on Sun Dayou's left arm, and the sound of bone breaking followed.

"Ah!" Sun Dayou screamed in agony, struggling desperately.

"Grandpa Li, please spare me! I was blinded by greed and did such a thing! As long as you don't kill me, I'll compensate you however much money you want!" Sun Dayou pleaded incessantly.

Before the Destruction Era, he was the vice president of a company, a man of status and position. When had he ever been treated like this?

But Li Tianran didn't care who the hell you used to be!

This was the chaotic Destruction Era. The old order and civilization would gradually collapse. Only strength was eternal. Whoever dared to be malicious towards him, he would kill!

"If you had invaded the farm today, and my sister and I were kneeling on the ground, would you have spared us?" Li Tianran's lips curled slightly as he asked softly.

No!

Of course not!

"I…" Sun Dayou's brow twitched wildly. Suddenly, his face turned ferocious, and he reached into his pocket with his right hand, pulling out a dagger and stabbing it towards Li Tianran's neck, screaming, "Die!"

Li Tianran reacted quickly, grabbing Sun Dayou's wrist with his large hand and squeezing hard. Sun Dayou cried out in pain as the dagger fell from his hand. Li Tianran grabbed the dagger and stabbed it down without expression!

Thwack!

Sun Dayou's body trembled, and he collapsed softly.

…

Zhong Ling hid in the car, shivering. She didn't know how to start the car and could only huddle up like a quail, trying to add a little security to herself with this ridiculous method.

After a while, she heard the screams outside disappear.

She carefully sat up straight, summoning the courage to look out the car window.

Just then, Li Tianran's face suddenly appeared outside the window, a trace of blood still on his forehead, staring at her expressionlessly through the window.

Two pairs of eyes met instantly!

"Ah!" Zhong Ling felt her mind go blank. Fear welled up uncontrollably, and her scream pierced the eardrums and echoed through the sky!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

The eye contact didn't last long, because Li Tianran started using his elbow to break the window!

The glass of an ordinary truck window wasn't very strong. After Li Tianran elbowed it three times, countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the center of the glass.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the car window finally gave way and shattered.

Li Tianran's face was indifferent as he reached into the car with his large hand and grabbed Zhong Ling's hair, dragging her out of the car window.

Small pieces of glass cut Zhong Ling's skin, but the fear in her heart far outweighed the physical pain.

"Tianran! Tianran! Listen to me, I was forced… Sun Dayou forced me, I'm also a victim, I was wrong! Can you let me go?" Zhong Ling cried and pleaded, trying to use the past to save herself, "Have you forgotten? We used to love each other so much! You said you would unconditionally tolerate me, cherish me…"

"That's right! I can come back to your side now, can we start over? Tianran, I still love you!"

Zhong Ling pleaded in a trembling voice.

Li Tianran suddenly smiled and nodded. "Not only will I not kill you, but I'll also marry you and share everything I have with you."

Zhong Ling was stunned, her mind overwhelmed by the great surprise. She stammered, "Ti… Tianran, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"You're the one who joked with me first." Li Tianran spread his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He looked at the woman he once wanted to marry, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

He hadn't expected this woman's heart to be so vicious.

She had disguised herself so well that Li Tianran had never seen through it before!

"Zhong Ling, I don't owe you anything. On the contrary, you owe me… Let me tell you, in this life, some mistakes can be made many times; some mistakes can't be made even once. Once you make them, they can't be forgiven, and you can only bear the corresponding punishment." Li Tianran looked at Zhong Ling expressionlessly and asked coldly, "Are you ready to face your punishment?"

Zhong Ling's pupils shrank rapidly, her eyes filled with despair.

…

One day later.

"Boss, this is the newly reported list of missing persons…"

At the Nancheng Military Police Bureau, a young officer handed the documents in his hand to the police chief.

"Sun Dayou, Zhong Ling, Li De…" The police chief ate instant noodles while reciting the names on the list, then impatiently pushed the list aside and said, "The number of people who die or go missing in Nancheng every day exceeds 500. I've been so busy that I haven't slept for days… Just file it and hang it up for now. I'll deal with it when I have time!"

The young officer nodded and glanced at the police chief's food, complaining, "Eating instant noodles again?"

"It's good to have something to eat." The police chief sighed, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window and saying, "In this damn world, we might not even be able to eat instant noodles in a month. We'll just have to wait to die…"
