The security personnel arrived, and things became easier to handle. The people in line could testify that James acted heroically.
Moreover, with the current wartime mechanism, dealing with thugs and ruffians is met with a heavy hand. Two security personnel directly took the two young men away.
As for James, he had no issues at all. One of the security personnel even smiled and patted James on the shoulder in encouragement.
"James, you've hit people from the End of the World Society. Why don't we leave quickly?" Ms. Carol whispered.
James shook his head. As an evolved being, how could he be afraid of a few thugs? He said, "Mom, don't worry. I'm here."
Saying that, James took out a packet of spicy beef jerky from his pocket and started eating. After becoming an evolved being, James's energy consumption was exceptionally high, which made him often hungry. Although he had no pressure beating up the two small-time ruffians, he still felt a bit hungry.
Just like with cars, a high-displacement vehicle is impressive but consumes too much fuel.
"It looks like I need to hunt mutant beasts sooner. The food energy from the mysterious space is already quite high, but it's still not as good as meat," James thought as he stuffed the beef jerky into his mouth.
James remembered that about thirty kilometers outside Greenfield City, there was a cattle farm. In his past life, that place was full of mutated cattle, practically becoming a no-go zone for humans.
"When my strength reaches the second tier, I'll check out the cattle farm. I can make some beef jerky myself since I can't finish the spicy peppers from the mysterious space," James finished his beef jerky, clapped his hands, and kept thinking about the cattle farm dozens of kilometers away.
After waiting for about half an hour, James and his family finally entered the supermarket. They bought 150 dollars worth of goods and went home.
Who would have thought that as soon as they reached the bottom of their apartment building, James saw a large crowd blocking the stairs.
The person in charge was none other than Eric and Susan. Beside them was a tall, burly young man with a gold necklace, Eric's son, Noah, who was said to be involved with a small loan company.
Eric saw James and his family and immediately put on a smiling face. He said cheerfully, "Noah, we've been waiting for you. Everyone is waiting for James's medicine to save lives."
Noah frowned upon hearing this. He had already known Eric's intentions from the last visit of Susan, but he didn't expect that after clearly stating there was no medicine, Eric would dare to bring so many people to block the door.
"Second Brother, I've already told Susan clearly that the medicine is used up," Noah said directly.
Hearing this, the more than twenty people behind Eric gasped. These people had relatives bitten by animals; some hadn't shown symptoms yet, while others had symptoms that were under control. At this moment, upon hearing Noah's words, they all felt despair.
"Eric, didn't you say you definitely had medicine?" Someone became anxious.
"Yeah, you still took our money without having any medicine. Refund me the hundred thousand!"
"Right, refund us!"
Eric's face changed slightly. If he had to refund the money, it would be disastrous. He quickly tried to calm everyone down, pulling Noah away and whispering, "Noah, this is a great opportunity to make money. As long as you can save these people, you can ask for any amount."
Eric said this while looking at James, hoping to see something in his eyes.
However, James's gaze was filled with coldness. To be honest, James didn't expect that Eric would dare to bring so many people to the door. It was clearly an attempt to coerce him.
Although Noah was being pulled by Eric, he stood his ground and said directly, "The medicine is really gone."
Seeing that he couldn't move Noah, Eric's face gradually turned cold. He exchanged glances with the tall and burly Noah beside him and sneered, "Noah, let me tell you the truth. If these people don't get the medicine today, I can't guarantee what they might do."
"Eric, what do you mean by that?" Noah also got angry upon hearing Eric's threat.
Eric laughed nonchalantly and said, "I'm doing this for your own good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Noah shouted, "Third Uncle, stop pretending. The animals have mutated now. You must be keeping some medicine for yourself. How could you use it all up? How about we all go to your house and search? We might find some."
As soon as these words were spoken, the more than twenty people behind Eric were somewhat tempted. Some even turned and went upstairs.
At the same time, Noah suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Noah's shoulder and said with a smile, "Third Uncle, just come with us upstairs to have a look."
Noah was tall and strong, and his grip was quite forceful. Noah felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and let out a muffled groan.
"What the hell is this?" James was immediately enraged. He stepped forward and grabbed Noah's arm. With a snap, Noah's right arm was fractured, and he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
As an evolved being, James found it easy to break an ordinary person's bones.
In immense pain, Noah collapsed on the ground, wailing continuously. Seeing her precious son suffering, Susan screamed and crazily lunged at James, scratching and biting.
James easily dodged to the side. However, Susan was too aggressive and couldn't stop in time, crashing into a tree behind James. Her head was knocked and bleeding, and she screamed, "Murder! Help! James is killing people!"
Eric was furious to see his son and wife injured and sitting on the ground. He immediately wanted to punch Noah, but when he saw James smiling at him and exaggeratedly shaking his fist, he immediately backed off and instead shouted, "James, you dare to hit people!"
At that moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and two figures rushed out of the crowd. The leading person shouted, "Don't move! Put your hands on your head and crouch down!"
As the words were spoken, a gunshot rang out, and everyone was startled, quickly crouching down and covering their heads.
James did not crouch. Instead, he turned and looked at the newcomers, his eyes lighting up in surprise as he exclaimed, "Goddess of Dragon Flame!"
The newcomers were well known to James. In his previous life, the Goddess of Dragon Flame was a renowned figure, one of the three high-level evolved beings in the New Haven Base, with strength so great that it was blinding for James to even look up to her.
"I see, the Goddess of Dragon Flame was actually in this profession before the apocalypse," James thought to himself.
"Crouch down, hands on your head," Jiang Yun said as she saw James looking at her with a foolish expression. She immediately frowned and aimed her gun at James, shouting.
James was locked on by the gun and had to smile bitterly as he crouched down and put his hands on his head.
"Comrade, you need to arrest them. James has injured my wife and child," Eric shouted loudly when he saw the security team arrive.
"Seems like he hasn't learned his lesson," James turned to look at Eric and showed a friendly smile, which startled Eric.
"Behave yourselves. Take them all back to the station," Jiang Yun, seeing James still smiling, immediately marked him as a troublemaker. She kicked James in the butt and scolded him.
"Damn, this woman is indeed fierce," James complained.
Thus, more than twenty people were taken back to the station. During the investigation, James adamantly denied any wrongdoing, claiming that he had only lightly grabbed Noah's hand and had not used force, and that Noah's fracture had nothing to do with him.
The senior security officer carefully examined Noah's arm and shook his head, saying, "It's a comminuted fracture. Even someone trained would not be able to break bones like this with just hand strength. It shouldn't be him who did this."
Little did the senior officer know, James was not an ordinary person; he was an evolved being who had mastered original power.
Furthermore, James's neighbors all testified that Eric had brought people to cause trouble. The security team could only conclude that Noah's arm was not broken by James.
As a result, James's family was released. However, the security team also gave James a severe reprimand, ordering him to compensate Noah's medical expenses and suspending his family's shopping privileges for five days.
As for Eric, he had brought over twenty people to block Noah's family, with some even kicking open James's door.
