Chapter 1268 Seeking for Balance and Change

The town of Cabes is a famous transit station and trading market nearby. The resources mined or collected from nearby exchanges will be sent here for concentration first.

There are primary processing factories opened by various companies here. Many raw materials are identified and screened, and then initially processed and refined before being transferred to the rear.

When rare alien creatures are collected, they will also be properly processed and packaged here, and then sent to the designated location by a special team. Therefore, there are more than 20 professional armed security teams stationed here.

The town has an outer defense wall, a huge enclosed farm and ranch inside, and field creatures responsible for communication and providing data. There are also more than a dozen laboratories with bases and commission points here.

In addition, the supplies and equipment needed by the mercenary groups entering the Exchange Area can be obtained here.

The government also has a 300-man implant armed force, and several third-level fighters are stationed here. This is just the surface. There is also a fairly large black market underground in the town, and even the Secret Operations Agency has a station here.

So when we call it a small town, actually this is just the earliest term used. In fact, it has a permanent population of at least 200,000, which is considered a medium-sized city in the Federation.

After entering the fusion area, the two hired fighters came here first, where they learned about the situation and prepared equipment and means of transportation for entering the fusion area.

Both of them were wearing standard brown suits, but they couldn't hide the lean muscles underneath. They were the Ackerman brothers, who were relatively famous in the East Yono International mercenary team. The elder brother was named Josh and the younger brother was named Gaiu.

After the collapse of the old empire, East Jono did not form a unified regional alliance, but existed as a buffer zone between the various parties, with dozens of small states of all sizes, and it is still a place where wars frequently occur.

Conflicts between countries and corporate agents, corporations, warlords, and gangs are going on almost every moment.

Due to historical reasons, this place has a rich heritage of secret techniques, and because of frequent fights, one must have extraordinary skills to survive, so the hired fighters of Dongyono are very famous in various countries, and this place is almost one of the main areas for exporting fighters.

The fighting power of the fighters born here can be imagined. The last mission the Ackerman brothers received was to kill a person from a research and protection area for alienated creatures set up by an international nature organization. Because it interfered with the interests of certain companies, they were hired to kill the person.

Although they successfully killed the people in the protection area, they were also successfully put on the wanted list of major international organizations and the countries of Yono. Now many people are eyeing their heads. With the enthusiastic recommendation of the client, they can only choose to go to the Federation to avoid the limelight. When they saw the commission from the Operations Agency, they accepted it without hesitation.

After arriving here, they did not set off immediately, but first studied the information of the puppets and the specific conditions of the surrounding blending area.

Most of the commissions they undertake are completed in the fusion area, so they are well aware that the danger often does not only come from the commission target, but also from the local alien creatures.

Just as he was preparing, he heard a voice in his cochlear worm: "The target has appeared in the town and is walking on the main road. Now is a very good opportunity. We are observing him. So far, he is the only one we have seen."

The Ackerman brothers immediately put down the information in their hands, and began to prepare their weapons and organize their equipment without saying a word.

After the puppet arrived in the town, it naturally walked to the most prosperous street in Cabes.

He only knew that the fighter on the opposite side was already here, but he didn't know where exactly. But as long as he was coming for him, he would definitely attract him as soon as he showed up.

His eyes looked calm. At this moment, his main focus was not on the outside, but on the inside.

He could feel that he had to find that final balance as soon as possible. He didn't know where this sense of urgency came from, but he just felt that he had to do it.

In fact, he has gradually found a way to maintain balance, but he has not yet been able to stabilize it completely. This often requires concentration to maintain, and it cannot be transformed into an instinct. Once he encounters a fierce battle, he may ignore this aspect.

He could feel that he seemed to be just a little bit away from some kind of transformation, but he could never reach it, as if something was missing.

Then we can only use the most brutal and most effective method ever, which is to use a powerful opponent to force ourselves to find it.

He walked forward while thinking. The sound of music from the bars on both sides of the street shook the street. Various simulated scenes accompanied by colorful lights shone on the road. All kinds of bizarre scenes were intertwined here.

He soon arrived in front of the famous attraction of Cabes, the Taming Building.
Here, various alien creatures from the Fusion Land are imprisoned in the open air in specially made cages. Although there are internal implants that can control their behavior to a certain extent, their wildness and ferocity still scare most people away. They dare only to stay at a distance and watch, and only a few dare to approach.

But he simply ignored all of this and walked straight forward. There was even a cage less than three meters away from him.

However, a surprising scene appeared. All the alienated creatures suddenly became silent. The closest creature seemed to be frightened and retreated to the other side of the cage, making a humming sound. This abnormality immediately attracted the attention of the people around. The implanted eyes scanned him, but soon someone shouted, cursed secretly and covered his eyes, and the implanted eyes twitched and spasmed, revealing a look of pain at the same time.

At this moment, the Ackerman brothers came over from the other end of the street. Although they were confident in their military strength, they were actually very cautious.

The target suddenly appeared before they went out to look for him, which meant he was either very confident or had made some arrangements.

The puppet then saw two tall and short people appearing across the street. At one glance he knew they were the people he was looking for, so he looked straight across and walked towards the two people.

He walked very steadily, regulating his breathing at the same time. Spirit was continuously infused from above, giving him enough strength while also causing the point of balance he maintained to begin to shake and shift.

However, with his increasingly high spirits and focused attention, he was able to grasp every detail intuitively.

The balance point at this moment is like a small bead rolling back and forth on a smooth porcelain plate, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The harder you push, the faster it may roll, and the risk of rolling down will increase.

As the two sides approached each other, the figures of the Ackerman brothers became clearer in his eyes.

Both of them had typical Donjono looks, with dark brown hair, thick beards, high noses, and deep eye sockets. Both of them had expressionless faces. The taller brother Josh took out a one-handed axe with a Donjono style hook, while the shorter and stronger brother Gaius took out two round-headed hammers.

At this moment, the three of them had a sparkling spiritual fire rising from their bodies as their eyes made contact.

The buildings on both sides of the street and the pedestrians on the road saw the state of the three people at this time and immediately realized that there were fighters who wanted to compete face to face. Some people were watching with interest, and some people used field equipment to record and film it.

However, when they saw the spiritual fire on the three people, they were shocked. Most of them were experienced in the fusion area and immediately realized that they were not ordinary fighters, but three fighters. They immediately felt something was wrong. Some people turned around and ran, while others hid in the buildings on both sides in fear.

None of the three looked at the passers-by, but stared at each other.

The Ackerman brothers' eyes, soaked in frost, were cruel and vicious. They observed the puppets' movements as they walked step by step. Through the length of their strides and the frequency of their swings, they were able to determine the characteristics and tendencies of their opponent's attacks.

But what I saw was a little strange. The puppet's movements were very regular, but I always felt that there was a sense of uncertainty in them.

After both parties entered the range of 100 meters, the younger brother Gaius slowed down a little. The two were brothers from the same mother, so they didn't even need to communicate with each other mentally or with eye contact. Just a change in movement would allow the other person to immediately understand what they meant.

At this moment, brother Josh roared, kicked his feet, and instantly jumped over a distance of 100 meters, and chopped the puppet diagonally with the axe in his hand.

The Blood Staff did not dodge, but took two steps forward and swung the staff to meet the attack. Josh's strength was very great, and usually when he rushed forward, as long as the gap in realm was not too big, he could restrain the person with one blow.

But this time he met an opponent. When the axe and the staff came into contact, first the spiritual fire burst out, and then he felt a huge force rushing up to his body, which not only stopped his momentum, but also caused his body to lean backwards.

He roared again, and the spiritual fire in his body surged. He tried to force himself to stabilize himself, but even so, after his feet landed, he still couldn't stop falling backwards.

At this moment, his younger brother Gaius had already rushed forward. He used his physical advantage and his brother's tall and strong body as a cover, and came out from behind him. He smashed the two hammers at the side of the puppet's legs and hips respectively.

In fact, the puppet did not use enough strength in the first attack, and he still had some strength left to deal with the other person, so he was not surprised at all when Gaius rushed out at this moment. But just when he wanted to swing his staff to deal with it, his breath suddenly stagnated slightly, and his balance point was disturbed violently in an manner that normally would not occur.

This forced him to focus his attention on the inside and try to keep it steady, but this also caused his movements to freeze for a moment.

Gaiu was not polite at all. He hit him hard with two hammers. In the flashing light of spiritual fire, the puppet flew out at an angle and crashed into the building on the side. First, the bricks and stones in front shattered and collapsed inward, and then the wall of the retro building farther behind exploded, and the glass and exquisite sculptures above the gate collapsed.
