Chunyu Bao landed, smashing a large crater into the ground. However, he was completely unharmed, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.
He had completed his modification, gaining immense power from the Abyssal Virus.
More importantly, his lifespan was no longer limited, and as long as his vitals weren't destroyed, he would not die.
"The power of an Immortal... it's truly intoxicating." His modification was known as the Immortal Surgery.
It wasn't just him. The company's shareholders, along with their wives, children, and parents, were all gradually undergoing the Immortal Surgery.
To Chunyu Bao, this was the greatest of ages. They not only possessed endless lifespans, but also immense power.
Most importantly, they could rule the world.
"The guy should be somewhere around here. He can't have run..." Before Chunyu Bao could finish, a bullet slammed directly into his temple.
CLANG...
The bullet didn't break his skin, merely leaving a small dent in his temple.
The next moment, the skin at that spot began to squirm, and it healed completely in about five seconds.
At the same time, he reached out and caught two more bullets.
"Got you." Chunyu Bao revealed a vicious grin, his gaze fixed on a specific location.
But before he could move, his heart suddenly began to pound wildly.
His intuition screamed that some terrifying danger was approaching. Without hesitation, he dove forward, tumbling for more than ten meters.
At that same instant, a beam of dark energy struck the spot where he had just been standing.
Before he could get a good look, that hair-raising feeling not only didn't disappear, but intensified once again.
He scrambled to dodge again without a second thought.
It may have been undignified, but it saved his life once more.
This time, it wasn't a beam that fell, but a ball of energy. It was certainly slower than the beam, but upon landing, it created a wide area of damage.
After those first two experiences, Chunyu Bao decisively dove behind cover.
Once he was sheltered, he finally got a clear look at the terrifying power of the beam and the energy ball.
'Where did this guy get such a powerful weapon? Even the company's energy weapons can't do this.' At that moment, Chunyu Bao had shed his disdain, replaced by a profound sense of dread.
He was certain that even as an Immortal with immense power, he couldn't withstand this weapon.
Chunyu Bao was indeed the son of a major shareholder, but that didn't mean he was an idiot.
Just this small glimpse was enough for him to understand the situation.
'But your position is exposed now. In the end, it's a person using the weapon.'
Chunyu Bao's thinking was simple: the weapon might be powerful, but the person wielding it wasn't.
As long as he could prevent his opponent from using the weapon to its full effect, the rest would be easy.
'The Immortal Surgery doesn't just grant a powerful physique and Spirit.'
'It also grants special abilities!'
The mutation from the Abyssal Virus could give Mutated Zombies incredible powers, like controlling fire, manipulating water, and so on.
And since the Immortal Surgery also used the Abyssal Virus, every Immortal received the same treatment as a Mutated Zombie, awakening a special ability within their bodies.
After all, zombies were once human.
However, compared to the abilities of Mutated Zombies, the ones gained through the Immortal Surgery were weaker initially, and much more difficult to improve.
Furthermore, because their bodies were still human, the energy consumption was also higher.
After all, humans were not zombies.
The special ability Chunyu Bao had obtained was called Spatial Jump. At his current level of development, he could only use it five times a day.
If he exceeded that limit, it would cause irreversible damage to his body, which even his status as an Immortal couldn't heal.
Of course, his ability hadn't awakened randomly. The Watchman Morning Company was able to provide a certain degree of guidance during the Immortal Surgery.
Otherwise, there was no way he would have awakened a space-type ability.
Unfortunately, the guidance's effect was limited; it couldn't guarantee an awakening that completely matched one's wishes.
Chunyu Bao activated his ability directly. In a flash, he jumped to the next location.
However, his ability wasn't developed enough to let him jump directly to Qi Suian's position.
Fortunately, Chunyu Bao hadn't planned on getting there in a single step anyway.
For now, his ability could only serve as a support tool; its current strength wasn't enough to be his primary method of attack.
"Hah, let's see you run now." Chunyu Bao smoothly reached the building where Qi Suian was located. Now, all he had to do was find him.
"Tech support, use the trajectory to pinpoint his floor," Chunyu Bao said in a low voice. He was wearing an earpiece and carrying miniature remote surveillance equipment.
He was in constant communication with Fuxiao, the artificial intelligence developed by the Watchman Morning Company.
He was the son of a major shareholder, after all. Even though he was out here to atone for his mistakes, his treatment was far beyond what a regular task force could compare to.
Even though he was alone, his gear was all top-of-the-line.
But after waiting for a long time, he received no response.
'The signal is being jammed.' Chunyu Bao's heart sank. Otherwise, with Fuxiao's processing power, a small calculation like this would have yielded an answer instantly.
"Not only can he tank a sniper rifle, he can also catch bullets with his bare hands." Qi Suian's expression wasn't looking too good as he considered Chunyu Bao's performance.
That performance was already superhuman. Aside from the Floating Cannon's Dark Energy Beam and Ghost Energy Storm, none of his other weapons could even hurt the guy.
However, his opponent's intuition had also been enhanced. Combined with his powerful reflexes, the currently level-two Tai Sui God couldn't support the Floating Cannon enough to guarantee a hit.
Not to mention, the Floating Cannon only had one shot left.
"Any solutions?" Qi Suian asked.
He wasn't skilled in combat, so naturally, he could only rely on the AI.
The AI was currently using a powerful shielding field generated by the Floating Cannon to cut off Chunyu Bao's contact with the outside world.
[Direct confrontation: 10% win rate. Evasive engagement: 30% win rate.]
[Escape success rate: 80%. Recommended action: Flee.]
"Uh, this... why are you *suggesting* I run instead of just *doing* it?"
With win rates like those, Qi Suian knew at a glance that he couldn't win.
[Based on calculations, considering your plot armor, the probability of a desperate comeback victory is 90%.]
"..." Qi Suian was speechless. 'So, it's even factoring in my plot armor now.'
He had to admit, the more data the AI collected, the riskier its suggestions became—and the higher the potential rewards.
"No gambling. Let's run!" Qi Suian suspected his own plot armor had nerfed the AI's intelligence. Otherwise, how could it possibly make a suggestion like that?
[Following your decision.]
Since Qi Suian was unwilling, the AI certainly wasn't going to force him into a head-on clash with Chunyu Bao.
"But before we run, we have to give that bastard a parting gift he won't forget!"
