The female officer felt a sharp pain in her hand, and the gun flew out of her grasp.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the female officer displayed exceptional professionalism; she did not chase after her handgun, nor did she even look at it. Instead, she took a small step forward and kicked out, not only preventing the enemy's frontal attack but also creating space for the three men to charge in.
Ye Zhongming's leg collided with the female officer's leg, and while Ye Zhongming remained unmoved, the female officer staggered back two steps.
As the dim light flickered, Ye Zhongming noticed the female officer's face turn pale.
This was the difference in power between ordinary people and evolvers; even if Ye Zhongming did not use all his strength, such a direct collision was beyond what an ordinary person could endure.
However, while Ye Zhongming had the advantage, he was also slightly shaken. He sensed some high-level combat skills in this female officer that were also prominent in the apocalypse.
It seemed to be a systematic combat technique. In peacetime, even some police officers or soldiers wouldn't possess such abilities, which made Ye Zhongming doubt the woman's identity a bit.
With the Secret Realm Key in his possession, what Ye Zhongming most wanted to do was study this treasure and see how to use it. He had no desire to get entangled with a female officer who possessed extraordinary skills.
However, despite having taken a hit, the female officer was determined not to give up. Gritting her silver teeth, she charged forward, swinging her right fist towards Ye Zhongming's neck, her body slightly bent forward, ready for the next attack.
Ye Zhongming intended to block it, only to find he couldn’t track the trajectory of this woman's fist. It felt extremely strange; even though the punch was flying straight towards his carotid artery, which could cause dizziness or even knock him out if it hit, he felt incapable of stopping it.
This made Ye Zhongming's expression become serious, forcing him to retreat.
The initiative was suddenly seized by the female officer, and this woman in civilian clothes launched a relentless offensive.
Ye Zhongming wanted to counterattack, but in an instant he changed his mind. He raised his hands to defend, passively blocking the strikes.
He wanted to see what kind of technique this female officer was using, as it was so similar to some high-level martial skills from the apocalypse.
Martial skills are not mere techniques.
Techniques can be understood through combat or honed through experience but cannot create martial skills.
In the history of the country, those who could create martial skills were all master-level figures, geniuses in national martial arts. Ye Zhongming was not one of them, and even in his past life, he had never learned anything that would greatly benefit an evolver. So when he suddenly observed it in an ordinary person today, he felt an excitement.
In truth, if the three men behind him had attacked together at this moment, even if they were just ordinary people, their distraction might have put Ye Zhongming in a real passive state.
Unfortunately, the three men stood at the doorway, merely holding up lights, not even entering the bathroom.
After watching for a moment, Ye Zhongming realized this must be a very complex and systematic thing, involving muscle exertion, attack angles, and even the coordination of the entire body. It was impossible to learn or comprehend immediately.
Ye Zhongming stopped being polite and deliberately exposed a flaw, allowing the female officer to deliver a solid punch to his left rib. The pain from the vulnerable part of his body and the difficulty in breathing made Ye Zhongming's face turn red for a moment, but as an evolver, it didn't significantly affect him, and he didn't even sustain a minor injury.
The counterattack began. Ye Zhongming bent down from the force of her punch, quickly wrapping his arms around the female officer's waist. He shouted with all his strength and directly slammed her to the ground, using his physical and evolutionary advantages to pin this formidable opponent down.
