After Lin Xinghai got the wrist computer, he didn’t learn many functions, but connecting to the intranet to search for information was one of them.
The first thing he looked up was information on the Hatchet Gang. He was of course familiar with the notorious four captains of the Hatchet Gang. It was said that when these four joined forces, they could even defeat an Enhanced.
So before the fight, Lin Xinghai was quite cautious.
However, as soon as they engaged in combat, he realized that aside from their sophisticated coordination, these four really had nothing else noteworthy about them.
With Lin Xinghai’s speed and heightened perception, the so-called sophisticated coordination of the four captains was riddled with flaws in his eyes.
This was precisely why the four captains were all defeated in a single encounter.
Such a scene was incredibly shocking for the members of the Hatchet Gang.
The gang members who were holding hatchets and charging toward Lin Xinghai with fierce momentum instinctively stopped in their tracks, not daring to advance.
“What! He is clearly an Enhanced.” As a bystander, Huai Feifu had a clear view of what Lin Xinghai had done.
The opponent was able to dodge the joint attack of the four captains by relying on a speed that reached 30 points, a speed attainable only by an Enhanced.
If there was a possibility of misjudgment regarding speed, the fact that the opponent accurately grasped Steel Panther’s wrist without any line of sight was something only an Enhanced with superb perception could achieve.
A grave error in intelligence was the fundamental reason for the failure of this operation. The thought of the consequences of failure made his eyes turn red instantly.
He quickly turned his head and glared at Wang Damao beside him, “Is this what you said, a pig with a genetic enhancement degree of 25%? Are you blind or just foolish?”
“I… I had no idea! The speed he showed yesterday was really only around 25 points. How could I have known he was actually playing the fool to prey on us…”
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Huai Feifu kicked him to the ground, saying, “You really are a pig.”
At this time, Steel Bear and the others gradually got up from the ground, but they had lost any desire to fight. They instinctively kept their distance from Lin Xinghai, yet dared not stray too far, fearing retribution from Huai Feifu later.
“Are you done arguing? Once you’re done, give me an explanation.” Lin Xinghai’s icy voice rang out at that moment.
“Hmph! Do you think you’ve already won? Your strength is indeed formidable, but you have a fatal weakness.” Huai Feifu suddenly sneered.
Lin Xinghai frowned slightly after hearing this, “What will that be?”
“That will be…them.” Huai Feifu said, pointing at Liu Miaomiao and the others, and then ordered the rest, “Capture them.”
Upon hearing this, the originally apprehensive members of the Hatchet Gang couldn’t help but have their eyes light up.
“Hey, brat, if you want these delicate beauties to remain unharmed, surrender now. Otherwise, my hatchet here isn’t selective; a careless swipe could mar their pretty faces, and that would be unfortunate.” The fastest-reacting young man dyed with yellow hair threatened as he ran toward Liu Miaomiao.
He was no stranger to such threats and extortion, speaking his lines with practiced ease.
“Hmph! But, you need a hand to hold a hatchet.” Lin Xinghai said, looking at the young man dyed with yellow hair. Murderous intent surfaced in his eyes for the first time, as he finally drew the vibro-dagger from his waist.
However, at that moment, the hair on his body suddenly stood on end, as a sense of deadly threat enveloped his heart.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xinghai immediately unleashed his Extreme Speed ability and dodged swiftly to the side.
Bang!
A crisp gunshot sounded. A vivid bullet dent appeared where Lin Xinghai originally stood.
It turned out that when his attention was attracted by the yellow-haired young man, Huai Feifu pulled out a homemade pistol hidden in his clothes.
That was also his last resort.
He believed that with his marksmanship and surprise element, Lin Xinghai would die even if he was an Enhanced.
After all, an Enhanced who had broken through one genetic limiter had perception limited to just a few meters around them, and the sharpness of their perception for threats beyond this range would drastically decrease.
Even if the opponent sensed him drawing a gun, he might not have time to dodge it.
Unfortunately, he met Lin Xinghai, a man with cheats enabled.
Before Huai Feifu pulled the trigger, Lin Xinghai was still facing away from him. However, by the time the trigger was pulled, the opponent had already left his original position.
Moreover, the opponent’s figure was rapidly approaching. Before he could take aim again, he saw a flash of cold light. His right hand, which was holding the gun, was severed at the wrist.
Everything happened so quickly that even though his hand had already fallen to the ground, Huai Feifu was still somewhat in shock.
When he realized what had happened, the clanging sound of metal falling to the ground kept coming from not far away.
He looked up and saw that all the members who had charged towards Liu Miaomiao had their hands, which were holding hatchets, severed at the wrist.
As for the yellow-haired young man who had just made threats, he was the worst off. While the others had only one hand severed, both of his hands were cut off.
Suddenly, the area was filled with wails of agony. All the thugs, clutching their severed hands, looked at Lin Xinghai as if they had seen a ghost.
Such speed was unprecedented for them, as reaching a speed of 60 points was characteristic of those who had broken through the second genetic limiter.
Such individuals were of the captain level even within mercenary groups.
Thinking of fighting against someone of this level, no one in the area could muster even the slightest desire to fight.
The difference in speed between them was simply too vast, so much so that they couldn’t even see clearly how Lin Xinghai made his move to sever their hands.
This gap in absolute strength was not something that could be compensated for by numbers.
After all, the Hatchet Gang was essentially a group of thugs banding together. They had no real sense of loyalty. Once they recognized the reality of the situation, these thugs decisively abandoned Huai Feifu and started to scatter and flee.
Of course, during their escape, they didn’t forget to pick up their own severed hands.
As for the young man with yellow hair who had both hands severed, he had his companions help kick his hands into his trouser pockets.
Taking the severed hands was necessary. With the technology of that era, reattaching a severed palm was just a minor surgery. Even a genetic repair could completely restore it to its original state.
Of course, all these required money. Whether these thugs had enough funds for the surgery was not something Lin Xinghai concerned himself with.
Huai Feifu looked at the situation that was taking a turn for the worse. No matter how unwilling he was, he knew that he was completely screwed this time.
He too hurriedly picked up his severed hand, intending to escape in the chaos. However, when he looked up, he found Lin Xinghai already standing in front of him. The opponent’s sneer sent chills down his spine.
