Chapter 1155 - 274:
The two mutants exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, then instantly charged towards Lin Fan. Their speed was astonishing, faster than a cheetah.
One of them aimed for Lin Fan, while the other targeted the mercenary who had surrendered.
"If you do this, I can only defend myself," Lin Fan voiced a warning, hoping they would reconsider. Many unfriendly survivors had been killed by him when he was only defending himself.
He was different from Officer Huang, who saw everything in black and white.
Right was life.
Wrong was death.
Yet, he was willing to give every survivor a chance to change.
It was up to them if they wanted to cherish this chance.
The two mutants ignored Lin Fan’s words. The one charging at Lin Fan sneered, swinging his arm violently, the sound of it tearing through the air as his flesh transformed into the classic shape of a flesh sickle.
This was a change many mutants underwent.
Common yet incredibly destructive.
"Go to hell."
The mutant growled, descending from above with the flesh sickle, aiming brutally at Lin Fan’s head.
"Ah."
Lin Fan sighed, never careless when danger approached. With heavy responsibilities and many tasks ahead, he couldn’t risk his life recklessly.
If he were to encounter danger, many things would come to a grinding halt.
Bam!
As the mutant neared, Lin Fan didn’t hesitate to punch his opponent’s chest, a dull sound echoing as the mutant’s face changed dramatically, and his body was sent flying backward.
Bam!
Bam!
Trees broke under the impact, unable to stop it.
The sent-flying mutant lay on the ground, gazing at the blue sky with blurred vision, feeling his chest strangely hollow, like a stream flowing through, a viscous fluid pouring down some kind of ravine.
He wanted to touch his chest to understand what was happening.
But he didn’t even have the strength to lift his hand.
Forget strength.
Even his consciousness started to fade away.
The mutant who had locked onto the mercenary thought his companion could hold out for a while. Who would have thought his companion’s swift charge would be met with an even faster retreat?
Within the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Not caring about any of that, he kept his focus on the target. But as he approached, a massive force hit him from the side, unavoidable, leaving him feeling his waist severely injured, his whole body spinning around, almost as if it wasn’t his own.
The two confident mutants ended in an instant.
Such is the nature of combat.
Often occurring in a flash of lighting.
"Is it over?" The mercenary hiding behind Lin Fan observed nervously.
Lin Fan replied, "It’s over, you can take me to the entrance of the base now."
"Oh, oh, oh..."
The mercenary glanced at the two bodies in the distance, licking his lips and feeling fortunate for making a wise choice. Surrendering wasn’t shameful; recognizing the times was the true strength.
Inside the base.
"Damn, what a waste. The serum administered to them wasn’t the low-grade stuff."
Xu Jiang watched helplessly as the two mutants were eliminated.
Not even reaching the chance for genetic mutation.
Mutants have two forms. One is the humanoid combat form, and the other is the genetic mutation, uncontrollable non-humanoid form. Once limitless genetic mutation occurs, they become terrifying monsters.
But now it’s too late to talk about anything.
They’re all fucking gone.
No point discussing mutations anymore.
Xu Jiang turned to his assistant, preparing for one last gamble, "Prepare all the serums for me, start the final project."
"But the project is still in testing, everything is unstable, it will definitely cause problems," the assistant argued.
Their final project stemmed from finding an embryo inside a deceased Creator, possessing a robust vitality they had never seen before.
"You’re talking instability with me now? Look at the current situation, do you think Lin Fan will give us a chance?" Xu Jiang rebuked angrily.
The assistant lowered his head, acknowledging Xu Jiang’s reasoning.
But this situation would definitely cause big problems.
No choice.
Xu Jiang is in charge here; whatever he says goes, no resisting.
...
"Is this the entrance?"
Following behind the mercenary, Lin Fan felt the base entrance was deeply concealed. If he were to search for it himself, it would be quite challenging.
Of course, he knew the base was directly beneath his feet.
If unable to find the entrance, breaking through the ground would be the last resort, but anyone would prefer finding the entrance.
The mercenary replied, "Yes, it’s right here, quite hidden."
Soon.
They arrived in front of a cave that appeared ordinary, surrounded by weeds and trees. Without careful inspection, it might be overlooked.
"I’ll go first; stay behind me." Lin Fan stopped him, ensuring he followed from behind.
The area around was not secure.
Filled with various dangers.
Inside, they encountered a sealed metal door. The mercenary shrugged, indicating he didn’t know the door’s password. Given the situation, Lin Fan simply smiled.
And tore the metal door open with his bare hands.
