When the firelight ceased, the执法者 stood before a scene riddled with holes, yet devoid of any cause.
The执法者’s head spun a full 180 degrees, meeting Li Chonglou’s eyes. The next moment, the cold electronic eyes abruptly lost their light.
This time, Li Chonglou did not retrieve its core energy. One was enough to carry; another would affect his movement speed. .oΓg
Li Chonglou then dropped the执法者, now scrap metal, and leaped onto the city wall. As soon as he reached the top, crazed mutated creatures lunged at his face.
Li Chonglou waved his hand, swatting the mutated creature away. The splattering blood stained his face, but Li Chonglou paid it no mind, his eyes fixed on the base, now a complete ocean of mutated creatures. His expression was grim.
The base, once like a fortress, was now crawling with various mutated creatures. Some were even fighting each other, their impacts leaving surrounding buildings stained with blood.
The ground was already a pool of blood. Some bloodthirsty mutated creatures were directly lying in the pools, greedily drinking.
Corpses littered the ground!
Ruined walls stood!
This scene was like the end of the world! Looking at the unrecognizable corpses scattered across the ground, Li Chonglou’s heart sank completely.
Given the current situation, there was no possibility of survivors within the base. After all, even the fortresses had been breached, and now, in Li Chonglou’s eyes, not a single fortress was intact.
Xi Wen and the others' chances of survival were essentially zero…
Li Chonglou clenched his fists. He now had only one thought: to find their evidence, even if it was just some clothing. Otherwise, he would not rest.
He immediately shifted his cultivation technique, concealing all his aura, moving through the base like a ghost. Apart from the mutated creatures he physically touched, the others treated him as if he were air.
The crazed mutated creatures primarily reacted to external stimuli through smell and hearing. Thus, Li Chonglou, with his completely concealed aura, was truly like air to them.
However, to avoid attracting the attention of the mutated creatures, Li Chonglou dared not make any significant movements, only cautiously searching everywhere.
This progress was undoubtedly slow. More than half an hour later, Li Chonglou had only searched half of the area. At this time, the reinforcement troops from outside the city had arrived.
“Captain Si, what do we do now? Should we launch an attack directly?”
As one of the first reinforcement teams, the leader, Si Benyin, found the distant执法者 a headache. The执法者 losing control was not the first time. He had also had the ‘fortune’ to witness it once before.
That level of monstrousness… back then, a single执法者 had taken ten squads to subdue!
And now, there were easily double digits before his eyes!
However, the good news was that since the last incident, headquarters had developed a new type of weapon specifically for controlling失控执法者. And now, they each had one of these new weapons.
“Launch the attack directly. The执法者 are a minor issue; the mutated creatures inside are the real problem! I heard that mutated beasts from the third layer are already on their way.”
The more Si Benyin spoke, the more worried his expression became. However, as he spoke, he had already picked up the new weapon. Just then, someone next to him suddenly reported.
“Captain Si, there seem to be survivors over there!”
Si Benyin looked in the direction the soldier indicated and happened to spot Mo Kewen and his group.
As soon as they met, Mo Kewen anxiously said to Si Benyin.
“Do you have a loudspeaker? I only need it right now!”
“What’s going on? Explain clearly!”
Si Benyin’s brows furrowed. As the first reinforcement troops, his status was no lower than others. Judging by the uniform Mo Kewen was wearing, he was clearly just an ordinary squad leader, so he was very displeased with the latter’s attitude.
Mo Kewen paused for a moment, then remembered the difference in their statuses. Feeling he had been impolite, he repeatedly apologized, then recounted Li Chonglou’s actions.
“Captain Si, this person has already entered the base, but he doesn’t seem to be aware of the situation. If he helps, people on the second floor of the beast nest might still survive!”
Si Benyin narrowed his eyes. “Is he really as strong as you say?”
“Captain Si, I am not exaggerating at all. It really took less than three seconds!”
Si Benyin had initially intended to say that even Ge Niexiao didn’t have that kind of ability, but on second thought, this was a critical time, and he figured the other party wouldn’t dare to lie.
Therefore, without further hesitation, he nodded directly and then took out a small loudspeaker from his person.
“You all spread out, to avoid being surrounded by the执法者.”
After everyone retreated, Si Benyin placed the small loudspeaker to his mouth and shouted into the base.
“Senior inside, there are still people on the second floor of the beast nest. Their location is…”
He repeated the sentence three times. Although this small loudspeaker was only palm-sized, the sound it emitted covered the entire base. Li Chonglou, who had just reached the vicinity of the beast nest entrance, his expression instantly froze. Then, a spark of light appeared in his eyes.
He no longer cared why the other party knew he was inside. He immediately unleashed his movement technique and rushed towards the beast nest entrance.
As soon as he leaped into the tunnel, a dark shadow lunged at him.
Clang!
Li Chonglou reacted extremely quickly, blocking with a frost gun. A spark ignited from the frost gun’s barrel. A powerful force sent Li Chonglou flying backward, crashing into the wall.
Fortunately, he had already protected his entire body with his aura, so he was not injured. However, his face had turned completely cold. He looked forward and found that it was a mutated giant monkey.
However, due to its immense size, it was stuck outside the tunnel. It was currently extending an unbelievably long arm, clawing and flailing towards him.
Its face, larger than a child’s, paired with blood-red eyes and protruding fangs, looked terrifying. Li Chonglou estimated that even if it stood still, it could scare many children into crying.
Suddenly, Li Chonglou felt a surge of power erupting from his acupoints, causing him to freeze for a moment.
“No way, is the method to improve the lower pulse points achieved through self-inflicted pain?”
Li Chonglou knew this familiar feeling, but what he couldn’t understand was why it automatically activated after he was injured, and seemed to be improving a bit?
