"Grrr … Grrr …" Gui Wuqi stood on the rooftop of a super building, his throat moving as he let out a deep and hoarse growl. He could no longer speak as half of his consciousness was controlled by the disaster that was slowly incubating in his body. Only that monstrous hatred remained in the depths of his mind, waking him up time and time again as he swore to kill the man who ruined his and his son's life.
Through the countless eyeballs of the mutant, he saw the mocking smile on Li Xiang's face, just like the day when he dove into the bottom of the blood pool and destroyed all his hopes with a single shot.
After a year, his smile was still as disgusting as ever.
"Grrr … Grrr." Gui Wuqi let out a strange sound from his mouth. He was contacting the mutants all over the city. These guys were half-finished products that he had cultivated using the hotbed in the ruins.
There was a voice echoing in Gui Wuqi's mind. That woman had taught him how to devour the borderline mutants, how to evolve, how to use the hotbed, how to control the mutants and transform them into creatures with a certain level of intelligence.
And what he wanted to do was revenge, revenge, revenge!
Destroy everything that he saw!
Screams rang out all over the city as the mutants responded to their leader's orders with their voices. They walked out of the bloody massacre and slowly swarmed toward the military building.
To the humans of Houcheng, this was an unprecedented disaster.
In their eyes, the invincible and powerful military soldiers could not even withstand a single blow from the mutants. Even though they had superior firepower and superior equipment, they were still forced to retreat. In the end, even the military building was taken over by the enemy.
One mutant could deal with nearly a hundred fully equipped military soldiers, and the entire military of Houcheng only had three thousand soldiers.
Gui Wuqi threw the half-eaten corpse of the military commander down the building. The flying flesh and blood bloomed in the sky, attracting many mutants below. They stopped to celebrate, fighting over the fresh human cultivator flesh and blood!
The smell of these corpses attracted them more than the civilians.
The mutants came from the Abyss World and the Void Plane. They seemed to be naturally hostile to human cultivators and fed on them. They had many means to restrain human cultivators.
The deputy commander of the military headquarters who was hiding in the dark trembled as he called the military headquarters in City 0127 over and over again. Unfortunately, there was no response.
"Damn it …" He threw the communication device in his hand away, his heart filled with despair.
Didn't they say that the cleaners would come to support them?
Qian Wen, that old bastard, would only become more ferocious during the internal strife, but he would always disappear at such crucial moments!
Last time, during the Li Xiang incident, he strongly advocated for the expulsion of Li Xiang and gave him to City 0126 as a favor, all for the sake of pleasing the Northern Lion Sect that General Shogun belonged to.
"I'll kill you all!" The deputy commander was still a Level-1 Magician. However, the long period of rest and recuperation had caused him to forget how to fight. He raised his Origin Substance gun and charged forward, but before he could take more than a few steps, his head began to throb with pain.
A tall woman walked out from the shadows behind him. Her originally beautiful face split open like a stamen, and a few tentacle-like things shot out from it, piercing through the deputy commander's head.
With a gentle stir, the red and white substance splattered everywhere, turning into nutrients that entered her body.
Even if they were magic users, these people from the Army who lacked combat experience all year round could not even match up to the ordinary soldiers at the border.
An overly comfortable life would cause people to lose their fighting spirit and will to fight.
The tall woman's face closed up again, her face expressionless. After consuming the deputy commander's flesh, her stiff face seemed to have changed slightly, and she could now make very simple expressions.
"Still … need to eat … more." Her voice was also very mechanical, but it was clearly much better than those mutants who could not make a sound.
Not far away, Gui Wuqi observed these changes and was even more certain that the mysterious woman's method was correct.
As long as they continued to devour human cultivators, they could also evolve further.
Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.
Evolution was the only way out.
Gui Wuqi was different from these low-level xenogeneics. He started off as a borderline xenogeneic, and was already evolving in the direction of a Disaster. He didn't need to devour ordinary magic users, but magicians at the very least.
"Li Xiang …" The veins on his face bulged, and it took him a lot of effort to roar out these two words. It seemed that he had used up all his strength, but being able to say his name gave Gui Wuqi endless satisfaction.
Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!
.....
Seawatch City's military building.
Seawatch City was not far from Hou City, and it was impossible to hide the fact that the neighboring city had been attacked by the mutant army. Not only Seawatch City, but the surrounding main cities were also trembling in fear. They immediately sealed the city and were on alert, waiting for orders from their superiors.
The soldiers in the military, who had the most benefits and the best treatment, were suddenly in danger. They felt that their peaceful and comfortable lives were suddenly interrupted, and they were afraid that their superiors would suddenly send reinforcements.
They were already scared out of their wits.
The few mutants that occasionally came out caused a large number of casualties among the garrison soldiers. These monsters were similar to the ones in the textbooks, but when faced with them in real life, the fear that came from the depths of their souls made them unable to raise their fighting spirit.
They collapsed at the first touch.
Top floor, commander-in-chief's office.
It was the first time the female secretary saw the usually arrogant commander-in-chief like this. The young man sitting in the boss's chair had just arrived, and he had wiped his sweat more than ten times without saying anything. From her perspective, the commander-in-chief's uniform was completely soaked.
In the past, she had never seen him sweat so much, even when she had a "hand-to-hand battle" with him in the office.
There were only two people who suddenly came here, a man and a woman. The man was young and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and calm. Ever since the young man sat in the boss's chair, the air was filled with a strange solemn atmosphere.
He chuckled and kept tapping the exquisite purple sand teapot on the table. It was a gift from a rich man in the city. It was said to be a treasure left behind from the Blue Planet era, and it was worth a lot.
"The commander-in-chief's life is not bad." The young man finally spoke.
The commander-in-chief's body suddenly collapsed, and his face was full of smiles as he bowed and said, "Master Bai, you must be joking … We do all the hard work, and we barely get by …"
The issue of style was a big taboo in the military. Although most of the officers did not pay attention to it, they had to put on a show.
Naturally, he would not admit it even if he died.
"Hmph." Bai Yuhan snorted coldly. She was somewhat dissatisfied, but she did not say anything.
According to the rules, the other party was directly under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters in City 0127. Even if he was above them, he was still a member of the southern military headquarters. Their special cleanup team did not belong to the military system, and it was not good for them to intervene and discipline their people.
Although no one would care if Bai Dongxue and her really gave this guy a hard time, she did not like to break the rules, and so did Bai Dongxue.
Sensing the woman's dissatisfaction, the commander-in-chief could not help but wipe his sweat and respond with a smile.
"Don't worry, commander-in-chief. Our cleanup team is not the military police, and we will not investigate your style. I was invited here to deal with the mutant army in Hou City, and I hope that the other main cities can listen to my orders for the time being." Bai Dongxue said with a smile, "Some friends will be here in a while. Commander-In-Chief, you don't have to worry about not being able to solve the problem."
"Of course, of course! With Master Bai here, what can't be solved? " The commander-in-chief's flattery was top-notch. Moreover, the other party had already been authorized by the commander-in-chief, Qian Wen. He had no choice but to listen even if he did not want to. Just thinking about cooperating to deal with the mutants made him feel extremely bitter.
That was not an enemy they could deal with at all.
"Then … Master Bai, when will we go to Hou City to provide support?" he asked tentatively.
"No need," Bai Dongxue said coldly.
"No need!?" A hint of joy flashed across the commander-in-chief's face. Realizing that his expression was not right, he quickly put on a sad face.
"It's not time yet. Pass down my order, all the surrounding main cities are to seal their cities and not act rashly. "Bai Dongxue looked at him and said calmly," This is an ironclad order. "
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go inform them immediately. " Although he was confused, he immediately nodded and went to carry out the order. Hou City was in a terrible mess, but if their surrounding reinforcements were in place, they could at least alleviate the disaster of their brother cities. However, from what Bai Dongxue said, it seemed that she was planning to give up on them?
As soon as the commander-in-chief left, Bai Yuhan asked in confusion, "Dongxue, Hou City is about to fall. If the higher-ups find out that you are neglecting them like this, the human camp's Contribution Points will definitely be deducted. Are we still going to wait? "
"Deducted? If they are all dead, who will know? Anyway, the higher-ups just want results. "Bai Dongxue shrugged nonchalantly." Cousin Yuhan, haven't you noticed? That guy is still evolving. Not only him, but those mutants are also very different from the ones we met before. I have a feeling that we might be able to get some new information this time. As the discoverers, why should we share the spoils of war with people who are not our allies? "
"But if we do that, the entire Hou City will die because of our ambition." Bai Yuhan knew that she could not persuade Bai Dongxue. This kind of thing was common among the higher-ups, but she was still not used to it.
She also yearned for power and Contribution Points, but she did not want to get them in this way.
"Cousin Yuhan, everyone lives for themselves. Maximizing your own benefits is the best choice. If you save people now, what you will get is far less than the clean-up operation after Hou City is destroyed. " Bai Dongxue waved her hand. "You don't have to feel pressured. I am the leader of the clean-up team. You are just following my orders."
Bai Yuhan was silent and did not say anything else.
She looked over the rainy night and saw the city on fire not far away. She was a bit upset.
She could almost hear the screams and cries of those people. Civilians were like ants in the face of such a disaster. Death was the only relief.
Who else could save them apart from the clean-up team?
Not many people knew that at this moment, there was indeed a group of troops stealthily moving towards Hou City from another direction.
Hunter and 169 were excited. They were used to the killings at the border. The comfortable life after they arrived at Crimson Moon had left them at a loss. This was such a good opportunity that they would not let it go.
Li Xiang and the other two left first. He put Lélie and the other two in a safe place and then headed for Hou City.
That night's attack was just like the fall of the city of monsters and the city of dragons. It was sudden and unexpected. Many people were caught unprepared.
However, this time, it was an army of mutants, which was even worse.
It had been a long time since such a large number of mutants had appeared on the Subcontinent. This was not a simple attack. The presence of mutants meant that there was a "door" or a "hotbed." It meant that there was a disaster lurking in the human habitat.
That was the most fatal thing.
On the other hand, if they could find a "door" or a "hotbed," they would be able to earn a large amount of contribution points.
They would not know that they could buy disaster weapons from the Goddess of Calamity before they reached the level of the players.
That would be much more effective than tracking down a disaster.
To find a "door" or a "hotbed," they would have to capture the leader alive.
Bai Dongxue even invited General Shogun's people. To be exact, Dale Nidley, the daughter of the Nidley family, was the poor mother who had lost two sons.
Her youngest son, Kuang Tie, had been killed by Li Xiang in the Polar night training camp. Her oldest son, Wild Hunt, had also been killed in the Death Omen Star. Many pieces of evidence pointed to Li Xiang.
Bai Dongxue and General Shogun were not close. Most of the members of the Bai family in the military were neutral and did not get involved in the conflict between the Lion Faction and the Eagle Faction. However, Bai Dongxue and his wife had a lot in common.
Neither of them liked Li Xiang. Just this point alone was enough for Bai Dongxue to acknowledge Dale Nidley as his ally.
Dale, who had arrived late, was wearing a graceful and luxurious evening gown. She did not look as crazy as she had when she lost her son. At the moment, she looked unusually calm, except for the lingering haze between her eyebrows. Her calm demeanor surprised Bai Dongxue.
Her eldest son had just died, but she was not as crazy as before.
There were rumors that Wild Hunt was not her biological son, but the bastard of a maid. If this was true, Bai Dongxue sympathized with this woman.
She was the daughter of a super family. She had married Owl and helped him rise in the military, but she had lost her son. Yet, the man she relied on the most was indifferent.
"Welcome to Seawatch City, Sister Dale." Bai Dongxue smiled sweetly. Dale was about the same age as his mother, but no woman liked being called auntie by a handsome young man.
He stood up and bowed slightly. After expressing his courtesy, he said, "I'll have to trouble you to find the source."
"After it's done, I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%." Dale was expressionless. She was known to be temperamental and bad-tempered, but at the moment, she was so calm that Bai Dongxue began to doubt the accuracy of the information outside.
"Fifty-fifty." Bai Dongxue shook his head. He would not back down. As a Level-1 player, he would not yield to anyone of the same level.
Dale seemed to have expected this. She took a deep look at him and nodded.
This young man was the man with the most potential at the moment …
No, maybe not.
The corner of Dale's mouth curved slightly, as if she had thought of something.
