Fat turned into technological products?

Zhang Ping's eyes lit up slightly, but then he saw the bicycle that Zhang Shouzhong was riding, and he realized that Pearl City's technology level was not high, especially in terms of weapons. It was still at the cold weapon era.

In fact, there were already people who had invented a bicycle in Pearl City, but not many people used it. At most, it was only used in the city, and no one would use a bicycle outside the city.

"What a pity."

Zhang Ping sincerely felt that Zhang Shouzhong had a lot of potential.

The problem was that he didn't know about those technological products. Otherwise, he could have made Zhang Shouzhong transform into a drone, a Barrett, a grenade, and other weapons, which could directly change the rhythm of the battle.

Then, two more groups of members came over to gather.

"Are you interested in Zhang Shouzhong?" Liu Sishan asked when she saw that Zhang Ping had only appraised Zhang Shouzhong.

Zhang Ping replied, "His ability and potential are very strong."

"There are also a lot of flaws. If he can't understand it, then he won't be able to convert it. For example, he can't convert special equipment. Otherwise, his potential evaluation will be upgraded to the Infinite Level." Liu Sishan evaluated objectively.

Zhang Shouzhong's ability actually tested a person's intelligence. If one couldn't learn or understand something, then there was really no way.

"Is there really someone who can understand the operation mechanism of special equipment?" Zhang Ping could not help but retort.

Although he had a few special equipment and had even personally witnessed how these equipment were created, if he really wanted to talk about the specific operation mechanism of these equipment, he would not be able to say it even if he killed himself.

In fact, he didn't even know what his own ability was.

He had once guessed that there was a mutated gene in the body of the Awakened, or that the world had recovered its spirit energy. If he was more imaginative, perhaps it was the ability bestowed by the gods.

However, when he asked Liu Tiefeng and Situ Shibai, the answers they gave him were all that he didn't know.

On the genetic level, the Awakened was no different from ordinary people. Before the Awakening ability, there would not be any signs or characteristics. Once the Awakening was activated, the ability would naturally be used.

In the past, there were indeed people who guessed that there was some kind of energy in the air that could awaken people. There were also people who created a 'Breath Awakening Technique', claiming that it could increase the probability of Awakening. Unfortunately, it was later proven that it was a scam. There was no special energy in the air at all.

Perhaps only the humans at the beginning knew what the Awakened was.

Half an hour later.

Liu Sishan and the others arrived near Pearl Peak. She looked at Lu Han and said in a low voice, "Senior Lu Han, you go over there and investigate. Be careful not to be discovered by the enemy."

"Alright."

Lu Han nodded and left.

Then she looked at the girl wearing the iron mask and said, "Chung Xuejie, you go over there."

"Wait, there's no need to send people over. I heard the enemy's voice. It's coming from Senior Lu Han's direction." Zhang Ping said at this time.

Brother, do you think we can take Aunt's daughter away?

Even if we can't, we can at least try. Why are you talking so much nonsense?

Zhang Ping squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "There are two enemies. They should be brothers. They are here for... Chen Junting. They should be family."

"Family?" Liu Sishan frowned slightly.

Situ Shibai's order was to ambush. Killing or not was not given a clear order. From the information obtained so far, it should be an ambush. If the situation was forced, then they could also kill.

"Chung Xuejie, wait. Everyone, follow me." Liu Sishan called back Chung Xuejie and said.

She quickly headed in the direction Lu Han left in. Zhang Shouzhong asked in a low voice, "Sisi, don't we need to investigate the surroundings?"

"It's too late. The enemy is almost here." Liu Sishan replied.

In front of them was a dense forest. After passing through the dense forest, there was a path leading to the cliff at the top of the mountain. The Pearl Peak was very close to Pearl City, so there were often adventurers who came to hunt. Over time, there were a few mountain paths like this.

Lu Han hid in the forest. When he saw Liu Sishan and the others coming over, he silently approached them and asked, "Why are you all here?"

"The target is over here. Prepare to ambush," Liu Sishan said quickly.

The two members who rushed over immediately set up an ambush around them. One of them had the ability to store items, so he quickly took out a tool to conceal himself and built an ambush point that was suitable for an ambush.

The other one was a barrier master, but his level was not high. He could only set up a barrier within a five-meter radius of his body. Furthermore, he needed to maintain the barrier with his own ability. Once he moved the barrier, it would break.

However, with the cooperation of these two people, an ambush point that no one could see was quickly set up. Everyone hid in the ambush point and waited for the target to appear.

...

The two sides had their own plans.

There was a plaza about five hundred meters away from the City Lord's Mansion.

This plaza used to be used for execution. After the ruling of the Beast Taming Zhu family was overthrown, the new City Lord of Pearl City had modified this plaza into a memorial plaza.

In the middle of the plaza stood a tall memorial monument, on which the names of countless heroes who had fought for Pearl City were carved.

Situ Shibai stood in front of the monument and looked up at the eight-meter-tall monument. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Come out, Lee Aoxue!"

"It's a failure. You're still the same. Pearl City has its own future. If you keep Pearl City in your hands, it will only grow more and more." A white-haired woman slowly walked out from behind the monument. Her scarlet eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at Situ Shibai.

Situ Shibai looked at the stubborn woman in front of him and closed his eyes silently. He sighed deeply.

"You've been possessed," he said painfully.

Lee Aoxue gently stroked the monument and looked up at the top of the monument. She smiled and said, "Humans need a king in the end. Why can't I be the king?"

"But your theory might not be correct. What if it is?" Situ Shibai clenched his fists.

Lee Aoxue smiled and said, "I can't be wrong. Humanity needs to be unified in order to have a king. Otherwise, why hasn't there been a king since the collapse of the empire a thousand years ago?"

"…"

Situ Shibai was speechless. This was because there was no king among humans. This was also the weakness of humans.

If there was a king among humans, he would have the confidence to convince this stubborn woman. However, Pearl City did not have one, and so did the other cities.

It had been a thousand years since a King had appeared.
