Not long after Jiang Fei notified the martial artists, a series of footsteps could be heard coming from afar.
"They're here!" The martial artists thought to themselves. Then, they saw a group of Mutants rushing toward them from the corner of the mountain road.
There were not many of them. There were only about three hundred of them. Their abilities were between Level 3 and Level 4. However, they were very fast.
"Stop!" Just as the Mutants rushed past the corner, the leader suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Leader, what's wrong?" A Mutant next to him asked.
"The mountain road here has suddenly become narrower. The trees on both sides have also become denser. I'm afraid that there's an ambush!" The leader said.
"No way? Do those martial artists still dare to fight us? " One of the Mutants asked in confusion. The martial artists had gone through several battles that night. They were already at their wits' end. They could not even run for their lives. Why would they stay and attack?
"It's hard to say. Just be careful!" The leader shook his head and then ordered his subordinates, "Everyone, split up and search the forest on both sides. See if there are people hiding in the forest on both sides!"
As they were not very far away, Jiang Fei and the other martial artists could clearly hear the Mutants' words. Bai Wanli and the others were fine. Although they could hear the Mutants' words, they could not understand what they were talking about due to the language barrier. However, Jiang Fei was shocked.
"Sh * t!" Jiang Fei frowned. If these Mutants entered the forest, the martial artists would be exposed. Although they could kill these speed-type Mutants, it would be completely meaningless if they only ambushed a few hundred people.
"0541, virtual projection!" Jiang Fei had an idea in this critical moment.
"Yes! Captain! " 0541 immediately executed Jiang Fei's order. A virtual projection was projected far away from the mountain road.
…
"Leader, look!" A Mutant happened to notice something strange in the distance.
"Hmm?" The leader turned around and saw a large group of people quickly leaving. There were about five to six hundred of them!
"Master Lincoln, how many enemies are there?" The leader carefully sent a message to Lincoln.
"I'm not sure about the specifics, but based on our previous analysis, there shouldn't be more than 600 martial artists. If we include the Scarlet Hunters' final counterattack, their numbers should be even lower!" Lincoln said. Due to the loss of the military's intelligence support, the Mutants were no longer as familiar with the situation of the martial artists as before.
"If that's the case, there should only be four to five hundred martial artists. If we include the androids, that should be about the same number!" In just an instant, the team leader concluded that the figures in front of them were the martial artists' main force!
"Everyone, follow me!" Because they found traces of the martial artists, the captain immediately gave up searching the mountain, because they did not know if there was a fork in the mountain road ahead. If there was, if they did not follow immediately, it was very likely that they would lose track of these martial artists.
"Yes!" The other Mutants answered and chased after them at full speed.
"Phew …" Jiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Mutants chasing after the projections.
"Brother Jiang, do you think we can also let the main force of the Mutants go, then quietly return to the beach and retreat?" Right then, Bai Wanli muttered in Jiang Fei's ear.
Although Jiang Fei's ambush plan was halfway successful, the leaders of the martial artists still did not think that the battle would succeed. The reason was simple. There was a huge difference in strength between the martial artists and the Mutants. Even if the ambush was successful, it would still be a difficult battle.
On the contrary, if the main force of the Mutants were also tricked, the martial artists would quietly return to the beach, just in time to catch up with the military's rescue ship. Then, they would be able to return to China unscathed!
"Do you guys think so too?" Jiang Fei turned around and looked at the leaders of the other sects, only to find that they were also looking at him.
"Yes … Even if our ambush is successful, after a difficult battle, we will suffer heavy losses!" The leaders of the other sects all complained to Jiang Fei with a bitter face.
"Hmph!" Jiang Fei looked at these people who did not want to fight as long as there was a chance and sneered. It was not that he did not know that these leaders wanted to preserve their strength. However, Jiang Fei knew that if they gave up this perfect ambush spot, what awaited the martial artists would be a disaster.
"Brother Jiang, it's not that we don't want to fight, but we really can't afford to. Look at these disciples. After a night of running around, they don't have much Qi left. If they fight with the Mutants, I'm afraid that not even half of them will survive!" Bai Wanli sighed and said.
"Hoho, it's fine if you don't want to fight. I don't care. I just want to remind you that if you give up this ambush and are discovered by the Mutants on the way back to the beach, you will lose the geographical advantage and be hunted down. Don't blame me for being immoral. I will immediately ask Ariel to teleport me back to China. Everyone, good luck!" Jiang Fei sneered and said.
"This …" Bai Wanli and the others hesitated after hearing Jiang Fei's words.
Jiang Fei's words were very reasonable. Although ambushing the Mutants here would cause a fierce battle, the probability of defeating the Mutants was still quite high. However, if they gave up the ambush, once the Mutants discovered the martial artists' whereabouts and chased after them, the martial artists would definitely be wiped out!
"Sigh!" Many of the leaders of the martial artist sects sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Since there's no way out, let's fight these Mutants! "Zhu Tianfei said as he glared at them.
"Since things have come to this, we have no choice!" Bai Wanli and Ganyang Zhenren looked at each other.
Right now, the main combat power among the martial artists was undoubtedly Jiang Fei and his female Bio-Humans. If the martial artists insisted on going their own way, Jiang Fei might just give up and let the Level 5 Metahuman escort them away. Then, the other martial artists would die for sure.
In fact, there was something that Jiang Fei did not say. The reason why they were able to move forward smoothly without being discovered by the Mutants was entirely because of 0541's concealment barrier. If Jiang Fei gave up and left, these martial artists would be discovered by the Mutants as soon as they left the forest. They would not even be able to reach the beach before they would be caught by the Mutants.
"Everyone, don't be stingy. It's time to fight!" Bai Wanli sighed, then took out a small bottle and began to distribute medicinal pills to the martial artists of the Snow Mountain Sect.
The medicinal pills that Bai Wanli distributed were the Spiritual Energy Pills that Jiang Fei had given to the martial artists a long time ago. However, as these medicinal pills were very rare, very few people used them even though the major sects had suffered heavy losses.
"That's true! What's the point of needing medicinal pills if we're dead? " When the leaders of the other sects saw that Bai Wanli had begun to distribute medicinal pills, they also began to distribute the Spiritual Energy Pills that they had.
After taking the medicinal pills, these martial artists who had recovered their Qi were all furious. They were waiting for the main force of the Mutants to arrive so that they could fight to the death!
