Chapter 297 War begins
The gas mask fell to the ground. Yang Jin looked down at his abdomen, where the mutated human's fleshy tentacles had completely pierced through his body.
She looked at Wang Xiao in despair, wanting to say something, but a mouthful of blood spilled from her mouth.
……Why?
Why would you want to harm them?
Wang Xiao slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the scene with his mouth agape.
Two minutes ago, Fang Ce led his team to the washroom where Wang Xiao was.
"Captain, is that you?"
"It's us, open the door."
"Is it safe outside now?" he asked curiously.
"Of course it's safe."
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed across the ceiling, wrapped around Fu Simian's waist, and pulled her up.
Fang Ce was caught off guard and tried to grab Fu Simian's clothes, but it was too late.
They turned on their headlamps and shone them upwards, only to see that the ceiling was covered with fleshy growths, and a humanoid creature was crawling among the greasy chunks of flesh.
This monster looked exactly like the one they encountered when they first entered the armory.
No, it is far more terrifying and powerful than that one.
It is the essence!
Fu Simian weakly gripped the monster's tentacles; the damage from the biological toxins had rendered her so weak that she couldn't use any of her supernatural abilities.
With a forceful twist, the tentacle snapped her ribs.
"shot!"
The men immediately raised their guns and fired. The bullets hit the deformed man's body, creating small craters that quickly healed, and the bullets were even swallowed by him.
The mutated human, with its long, bloody tongue lolling out, flicked its tentacles at them.
"Captain, be careful!"
Zhang Zhitong shouted and teleported over to shove Fang Ce aside, but he couldn't dodge in time. The tentacle struck down from the top of his head, instantly splitting him in two, and his internal organs flowed out like a waterfall.
Fang Ce, who had just crashed into the wall, looked up and saw this scene, his eyes instantly turning red: "Zhang Zhitong!"
Yu Feng gritted his teeth, threw the bag to He An, teleported up to grab Fu Simian's collar, used his waist and abdominal strength to step on the deformed man, and fired wildly at the tentacles with his other hand.
His tentacles were broken, and he fell to the ground, rolling around once, while holding Fu Simian.
Just then, the door to the cleaning room opened, and Wang Xiao rushed out and ran towards the management office without looking back.
But he oversimplified things. By this time, the entire ceiling of the first floor was already overrun by mutants.
With a sharp flick of its tentacle, it sent Wang Xiao crashing back to the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.
Now everyone understands.
What nonsense about waiting for them to come back! He was trapped in the bathroom by the mutants and couldn't calculate the teleportation distance without a map, so he wanted to use them to distract the mutants so he could escape!
Fang Ce was furious to have such a person in his team, but he didn't have time to deal with it now.
He helped Yu Feng up and told them to run quickly, but then he heard a cry of pain as his flesh tore open.
They turned around and saw Yang Jin with his abdomen pierced.
Wang Xiao let out a terrified scream and scrambled out of the room.
“Yang Jin!” He An reached out his hand to her.
Despite his severe injuries, Yang Jin took out a small knife and, with his last bit of strength, plunged it into the tentacle, trying to prevent it from leaving his body.
Her eyes were full of tears as she shook her head at He An.
"Let's go." She mouthed, then took out a grenade and bit open the pin.
The tentacles retracted, wrapping around Yang Jin's body and bringing it to the mutant's mouth. As the mutant opened its mouth, Yang Jin shoved a grenade inside.
"boom!"
The mutated human's flesh and blood, along with the human body, were blasted away. The injury to the original body caused the entire ceiling of the first floor to shake.
"Let's go!" Fang Ce ordered.
He An grabbed Fang Ce and Fu Simian's hands and teleported away with them.
This time, she didn't estimate the distance or specify the destination; she could only rely on the general direction to get them to the door of the management office.
Fortunately, they were in sync and lucky enough.
There was a large open space in front of the management office. They landed there without suffering any harm, and Yu Feng also happened to teleport there.
However, there were also tentacles of mutated humans on the ceiling. Before they could catch their breath, they immediately went into the management room and locked the door.
As his former teammates disappeared one by one, Wang Xiao, who was still there, became the last sitting duck.
The enraged mutant wouldn't let him go; it instantly appeared behind him, grabbed his ankle, and slammed him against the wall.
"Ah!" Wang Xiao cried out in pain as his back slammed against the wall, blood flowing down the back of his head.
No! No! He doesn't want to die here, he doesn't want to become like Yang Jin!
He lay dizzy on the ground, and finally steeled himself to activate his supernatural power.
But clearly, he wasn't so lucky.
He couldn't calculate the distance, so he could only roughly run into the passage below. In his greed, he got one foot stuck in the passage wall.
"Ahhh—" Wang Xiao screamed in agony, clutching his leg.
The others happened to return to the passage at that moment, and when they saw Wang Xiao rolling on the ground, they sneered.
"Captain! Captain, please save me!"
Blood gushed from his feet, and he was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat.
He An sneered: "Does it hurt? When you killed Yang Jin and Zhang Zhitong, why didn't you think about how much pain they felt too!"
"I didn't know it would turn out like this. I didn't mean to. I didn't want to kill you all. I really had no other choice! I just want to live, Captain, please save me—"
Wang Xiao grabbed Fang Ce's trouser leg and cried out.
"You're not unaware of the new military regulations after the apocalypse, are you?"
Fang Ce kicked him away with a cold face and raised his gun: "Anyone who betrays the army and causes casualties to the troops shall be executed on the spot by military order."
After a gunshot, Wang Xiao fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.
Fang Ce sighed: "Let's go."
The passageway was familiar, but there was no one familiar around.
Of the ten-man team, only four returned, one was seriously injured, and the whereabouts of the other two are currently unknown.
As they turned back along the long route, suddenly loud noises came from the passageway, and the building began to shake.
Fang Ce looked up and saw that cracks were still appearing on the surrounding walls.
"What's going on? Is it going to collapse?" Yu Feng asked anxiously.
"Boost!"
The group immediately started running through the passageway towards the gate.
……
The knife landed beside Tu Hao, who looked up at the person next to him.
Miao Yin closed her eyes, her expression silent and solemn. Blooming fire lotuses lay at her feet, and the flowing hair at her temples made her appear ethereal, like a deity.
The Guanyin Temple within the pool of supernatural power is burning, and her power is gradually being released, stronger than ever before.
The lotus flames dispel the darkness, burning everything in their path.
Tu Hao watched as the flames gradually spread to the explosive device and warned, "If you keep doing this, we'll be blown to bits before we even start fighting the mutants."
"It won't explode." Miao Yin calmly opened her eyes, a golden light flashing across her face.
Just as she said, the explosives only produced a few sparks before going silent.
A thought flashed through Tu Hao's mind, but it was quickly overshadowed by the pain of impending danger and disappeared without a trace.
On the black wall, a scarlet demonic eye opened, its eye, larger than a tank, staring straight at them.
Under that chilling gaze, Miao Yin could clearly sense the contempt within it.
To such a colossal creature, humans are nothing more than ants beneath its feet.
Miao Yin stretched out her hand, and the flames gathered in front of her, forming the largest wall of fire in history. The flames rotated clockwise, and as they flowed faster and faster, the center of the vortex became increasingly bright red.
The demonic eyes blinked slowly, then narrowed, revealing a cold and arrogant expression.
"Heh." Miao Yin let out a soft laugh, followed by an explosion of flames!
Like a burst of flame, a huge beam of fire shot out from the wall of fire, heading straight for the deformed man's eyes.
Just as it was about to touch the mutant, it raised its enormous hand to block the attack.
The two collided, creating countless sparks. The mutated man's eyes suddenly widened as he finally noticed something was wrong.
Its indestructible shell is being corroded by the flames!
The mutated human opened its mouth, and a huge sound wave emanated from the deep black hole.
The flames were immediately dispersed, and the tanks and armored vehicles were also blown away.
Facing the tank hurtling towards them, Tu Hao braced himself with his arms and used it to block it in front of him. The impact of the giant object sent his body sliding backward for a full three meters before he came to a stop.
The deformed man's eyes moved to his arm, which was charred black and had a large hole burned into it.
It has never suffered such an injury since it was born.
It crouched down, its scarlet eyes fixed on Miao Yin, and a chaotic sound emanated from its body, echoing in circles throughout the armory.
"hungry……"
"I'll eat you up!"
The mutant finally broke free of the wall, landing heavily on all fours. The entire armory trembled with its movement, sending countless pieces of debris crashing down.
