Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 67: Martial Law

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

In the hospital, countless patients, doctors, and nurses were panicking. They did not have much martial strength, and were completely inexperienced in dealing with such an emergency.

Moreover, the fleshworm dire beasts that appeared out of nowhere were all very powerful. They were difficult to deal with unless one was a high-level martial artist.

The fleshworm dire beasts were violent by nature and seemed to enjoy devouring. Their speed of movement was also very fast. In the blink of an eye, a fleshworm dire beast had come before a patient.

The patient was a little boy, and he was still wearing a patient’s gown. When he saw the fleshworm dire beast approaching, he could only tremble in fear.

“Don’t come here, don’t eat my brother…”

There was only a 13 or 14-year-old girl beside the boy. Although the girl was also terrified and trembling, she bit her lips and hugged her brother tightly.

“sister, I’m scared.”

“Xiaoyun, don’t be scared. Your sister is here.”

The girl hugged the little boy tightly. She cried out desperately for help from the people around her, but looking at the massive and hideous dire beasts, no one dared to take a step forward.

The fleshworm dire beast opened its ravenous mouth, ready to swallow the little boy and the girl in one gulp. The girl could only hug her brother’s head tightly as her body shook violently from fear.

Even if she had to die, she would protect her brother.

“Monster, die!”

A deep bellow suddenly echoed through the entire hall of the hospital. Immediately after, a figure appeared behind the fleshworm dire beast. With just a punch, the fleshworm dire beast seemed to be impacted by an unparalleled force. Its massive body was instantly shattered into pieces, and its blood and

broken flesh splattered all over the ground.

The dire beast was dead. The girl was still in a daze. A strong hand helped her and her brother up.

“Are you all right? Hurry up and hide. It’s not safe here.”

“Thank you.”

The girl did not even catch the appearance of her savior clearly. She only felt that the person in front of her was like an angel who descended from the heavens to save her and her brother.

Whoosh.

The man immediately tuned around and left, continuing to hunt down the terrifying dire beasts.

“Our savior… [haven’t asked his name.”

The girl muttered softly, but the hospital was very chaotic now. Staying here was indeed unsafe. She could only imprint that figure in her mind before hurriedly running out of the hospital, holding her brother in her arms.

Naturally, the person who saved them was Lin Feng. He could not stand by as tragedy unfolded.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already drawn his particle saber, which he carried with him at all times. After killing a fleshworm dire beast with a punch, he stomped his feet and charged towards the fleshworm dire beasts like a cannonball.

Lin Feng swung the saber. The fleshworm dire beasts could not resist a single slash from Lin Feng, He practically took them out with a slash of the saber each.

Bang.

Lin Feng jumped to the second floor in one leap. There were even more fleshworm dire beasts here. Moreover, most of them were patients who had tumed into dire beasts. There were about a dozen of them. They were incredibly vicious and devoured people on sight.

The largest one was almost twice the size of an ordinary fleshworm dire beast. It had already eaten at least a dozen people, so its body became extremely massive.

However, it did not manage to withstand a single blow from Lin Feng either. Lin Feng decapitated it with a single slash.

These fleshworm dire beasts all had frightening regenerative abilities. Only decapitation could kill them completely.

Actually, these dire beasts were similar to the ordinary fleshworm dire beasts that Lin Feng had encountered at the frontline. There wasn’t even an elite dire beast among them. However, due to their powerful regenerative ability and the shocking manner which they appeared, many people were

intimidated by them.

However, as long as one grasped the right method, it was not difficult to kill these fleshworm dire beasts. After all, even if they had powerful regenerative abilities, they had not reached the level of the dire beast king from before. They would more or less be dead once their heads were chopped off.

Having dealt with the dire beasts on the second floor of the hospital, Lin Feng left the hospital, only to realize that the entire street had been plunged into chaos. Dozens of fleshworm dire beasts had already appeared, and the streets were basically in shambles.

“Why are there so many fleshworm dire beasts?”

Lin Feng’s brows gradually furrowed. Mayhem had broken out over almost the entire Dragonlith City now. No matter how strong his martial prowess, there was no telling how long killing them one by one would take.

Furthermore, the appearance of these fleshworm dire beasts was way too bizarre. The way they burrowed out of people’s bodies… was it parasitism?

Time passed slowly. The entire city fell into chaos. However, the upper echelons of the government and Dragon Mountain Base were all gathered in the conference room.

Chief Commander Long Duo had a solemn expression on his face as he said in a low voice, “The situation is critical. According to the current state of affairs, it has already been confirmed that those fleshworm dire beasts possess parasitic ability. Their incubation period is only a few days. I hereby

announce that Dragonlith City is under martial law and military regulation. Once they’ve entered the city, no one is allowed to exit it. No matter who it is, myself included, no one is allowed to leave Dragonlith City without finding specific tests on whether we are carrying the parasitic seeds of the dire

beast! Violators will be charged with crimes against humanity!”

Hearing Long Duo’s order, the people below immediately broke into discussions. Everyone disagreed with this approach. This concerned their lives and livelihoods after all.

“Chief Commander, you can’t do this. If we never find a way to test it, are we supposed to stay in Dragonlith City forever?”

“That’s right. If we can’t find one, we’ll go down with Dragonlith City!”

“What?”

At this moment, even those even-tempered officials were shocked. They didn’t want to die, much less go down with others.

“No, I object. Absolutely not.”

“That’s right. Even if the situation is urgent, it doesn’t warrant this method. There are 3 million residents in the entire Dragonlith City. Are they all supposed to die?”

“This is absurd. Absolutely not.”

The Chief Commander’s eyes turned cold as he said in a low voice, “I’ve already ordered the other inhuman experts to guard the station and intersections leading out of the city. Even if you disagree, you cannot leave unless you want to be punished for crimes against humanity!”

Everyone in the meeting room had grim expressions. Crimes against humanity were basically the worst felonies. Once committed, it would even implicate their entire family, and they would never be able to recover from it.

Although they were very unwilling to throw their lives away like this, they did not dare to really besiege those intersections and escape from Dragonlith City without authorization.

“Professor Wei, I’ll have to trouble your research institute for the rest. I’l deploy all the researchers in Dragonlith City for your command. Professor Wei, you must find out how to detect the parasitic seeds of the fleshworm dire beasts, how to effectively eliminate those dire beasts, and how to control the

spread of the parasitism as soon as possible.”

“The 3 million citizens of Dragonlith City are counting on you, Professor Wei.”

With that, Chief Commander Long Duo stood up and personally bowed to Professor Wei Yuan.

“Chief Commander, don’t worry. I will complete the mission, even at the cost of my life!”

With that, Professor Wei tured around and left the conference room.

“Chief Commander, what should we do next?”

Everyone looked at Long Duo.

“Thave already reported the situation in Dragonlith City to my superiors. As for now, immediately broadcast the news and announce the government’s decision! As for us, there’s no question. We will go to kill the dire beasts.”

After saying that, Long Duo left immediately. There wasn’t much he could do now. Other than killing dire beasts, he could only wait for Professor Wei Yuan’s research institute to produce results in the soonest possible time.
