"Captain, the Mutants have caught up to us. They are very fast!" 0541's biological radar had already detected their movements when Lincoln started to chase after them.
"How annoying!" Jiang Fei frowned. He then turned to Z8-001 and asked, "How long until the rescue ship arrives?"
"Estimated time of arrival is two hours and ten minutes!" Z8-001 replied.
"Hmm …" Jiang Fei took a deep breath. At the same time, he quickly began to plan in his mind.
The current martial artists were no match for the Mutant army at all. If it were the Mutants of the past, it would still be manageable. However, the current Mutants had not only been strengthened, but there were also thirty pinnacle Level 4 martial artists that had appeared out of nowhere. This was definitely not something that the current martial artists could fight against.
"We have to make them split up!" Jiang Fei muttered to himself.
"Younger brother Jiang, I'm afraid that's not very realistic." Bai Wanli said. As the Mutants had just suffered from splitting up their forces, it would not be easy to make them make the same mistake again.
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. If the Mutants don't split up their forces, even if we reach the beach, we won't be able to last until the rescue ship arrives!" Jiang Fei said with a frown.
At this time, Jiang Fei and the others could only rely on 0541's barrier. It was precisely because of 0541's assistance that Jiang Fei and the others were in an advantageous position. Other than that, the martial artists were at a disadvantage compared to the Mutants in all aspects.
However, what worried Jiang Fei was that 0541's barrier was not perfect. If the enemy was close enough, 0541's barrier would lose its effect.
Now that the Mutants had lost track of the martial artists, they had sent out a large number of scouting-type Mutants. Although the mountain roads were rugged and there were many forks, Jiang Fei and the others could not go far away from the beach. Therefore, the Mutants could easily use this advantage to narrow down the search area.
"Forget it. Let's not rush to the beach. Let's wait somewhere else for a while!" Jiang Fei said after thinking for a while. If they rushed to the beach now, it would be impossible for the martial artists to resist the Mutants for two hours.
"Alright! We'll listen to you! "Bai Wanli and the others nodded. Jiang Fei now had a very strong reputation among the martial artists.
Seeing that the martial artists nodded, Jiang Fei led everyone away from the main road. They followed a small path that slightly deviated from the direction of the beach. As there was still plenty of time, Jiang Fei was not in a hurry.
…
"Quick! Don't let those damned Huaxia people escape! " Unlike Jiang Fei and the others, Lincoln did not know when the rescue ship would arrive. Therefore, he could only move forward at full speed when he was chasing after the martial artists. This was to prevent the martial artists from escaping or meeting up with the reinforcements once they reached the beach.
"My lord! Why don't we go there first? " Baron Blood suggested. After all, the Scarlet Hunters under his command were extremely fast. The other Mutants could not compare to them.
"No! We can't split up anymore! We don't want to fall into the trap of these Huaxia people! "Lincoln was like a bird that was startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. After being tricked once, he was determined not to split his forces.
"If that's the case, what if we can't catch up with them?" Baron Blood frowned.
"How about this. You guys speed up a little, but don't stray too far from the main force. Also, I'll ask Crow and the others to scout ahead!" Lincoln chose a compromise.
Asking the Scarlet Hunters to speed up a little would save them some time. Moreover, if they encountered the Huaxia martial artists, the Mutants behind them would be able to rescue them easily.
"Alright!" Baron Blood nodded. Although he did not think much of the martial artists, he had to obey Lincoln's orders.
Ever since the attack on the Soaring Cloud Sect, the sect leader of China's largest sect, Ma Xuantong, had died in the hands of Baron Blood and the others. This made the Scarlet Hunters extremely confident. To them, the martial artists were nothing. Even a pinnacle Level 4 martial artist could be killed by three Scarlet Hunters. Moreover, if they wanted to run, the martial artists would not be able to catch up.
"Crow, you guys go and search for the enemy's location!" After the Scarlet Hunters disappeared from sight, Lincoln said to a Mutant beside him.
"Yes, my lord! My lord! " The mutant agreed and leaped into the air. He instantly transformed into a crow and soared into the sky.
Mutants like Crow were the typical non-combat type. Before the Bio-Technology, they could only make a living in a circus. However, things were different now. With the enhancement of the Bio-Technology, their endurance and speed had greatly increased. They were now experts in reconnaissance.
After Crow took off, a few Mutants turned into birds and insects and left the Mutant army. They scattered in all directions. Their mission was to find the martial artists that had disappeared.
About half an hour later, Baron Blood and his Scarlet Hunters arrived at their destination. It was a barren beach. Other than sand, there was nothing else.
"There's no one here?! Isn't this the target of the Chinese? "Baron Blood said with a frown.
"Boss, do you think the Chinese have already escaped?" One of the Scarlet Hunters asked.
"It's possible! Let me ask! "Baron Blood immediately reported the situation on the beach to Lincoln.
"What?! No one?! " Lincoln was shocked when he heard the news. However, he quickly calmed himself down and said, "Check the beach. See if there are any signs of people being here."
"Yes, my lord!" Baron Blood nodded. After that, he and his subordinates began to search the beach.
While Baron Blood was searching the beach, Lincoln contacted the major rice-exporting country's Third Fleet to ask if there were any Chinese ships near the beach.
Unfortunately, the Third Fleet was too preoccupied with their own affairs and had no time to answer Lincoln's questions.
The major rice-exporting country's Third Fleet and Seventh Fleet had encountered the strongest enemy they had ever encountered.
"Damn it! Sink those Chinese ships! "Halsey roared from the flagship of the 3rd Fleet.
"Sir, according to the information from the warheads, they have hit the Chinese ships. However, the radar shows that the Chinese ships have not suffered any damage!" The officer in charge of the radar reported.
"How is that possible?! Dozens of missiles have hit their targets, but not a single ship has been sunk?! "Halsey's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Because the Hummingbird drone shot down the missiles at close range, the missiles were only a few kilometers away from the Chinese ships when they were intercepted by the laser. Such a distance was less than two seconds for a ballistic missile. Therefore, in the eyes of the major rice-exporting country's fleet, the missiles had already hit their targets and were not intercepted.
