666 Opening a Retreat With a Slash (1)

However, this bit of Genuine Qi was not enough to deal with so many mutated beasts. Otherwise, if he had enough strength, he would have killed these guys with a slap.

After slashing for a while, more than a thousand mutated beasts had died in Song Shi’s hands. He reckoned that he had already earned enough military merits to exchange for freedom.

“I can’t believe I got my freedom like this.”

Song Shi sighed. “If I survive now, I’ll be free when I return to the base city.”

He felt the expended Genuine Qi in his body and looked at the mutated beasts that he had killed. Of course, not only were there too many mutated beasts killed in this direction, but some mutated beasts were also frightened by him and did not dare to approach.

“It’s your turn. I’ll recover my strength.”

Song Shi made a prompt decision. Since there were others, there was no need for him to really risk his life.

Facing such a large number of mutated beasts, continuous combat ability was far more important than explosive power. He had to maintain his condition as much as possible.

“Brother Song, rest quickly. We can stop these mutated beasts.”

Li Cha led his men to stand at the gap that Song Shi had created and defended with bullets and cold weapons.

Song Shi took out a tube of nutrient fluid and drank it. He began to adjust his condition and recover his Genuine Qi.

To martial artists who cultivated both internal and external cultivation, with Genuine Qi augmenting their weapons, their lethality would be much greater.

The Genuine Qi in his body was both Yin and Yang. What he had consumed just now was mainly Yang-attribute Genuine Qi. As the Yin and Yang Qi circulated in his body, Song Shi’s Genuine Qi quickly recovered.

Without him killing a large number of mutated beasts, the pressure on the entire team would have increased.

The cannon’s ammunition had been adjusted, but it was still unable to avoid reaching the end point of exhaustion. Zhang Jiqing had no choice but to lower his firepower again and again. At the same time, he got someone to take out grenades and bombs to use.

Realizing that the mutated beasts would not stop attacking for a while, Zhang Jiqing said coldly, “Get the logistics to make simple incendiary bombs with alcohol and gas. Also, use all the batteries to make a simple electric net.”

The non-combatants all got busy in a panic. Soon, simple incendiary bombs were thrown out one after another to slow down the attack speed of the mutated beasts as much as possible.

Even so, the casualties of the cannon fodder were also increasing. Even if they were not injured, they were already panting. Some people’s weapons had already been cut off, and their expressions became more and more desperate.

What made them despair was not the casualties, but the still endless number of mutated beasts. They did not know when it would end.

On Song Shi’s side, the pressure on Li Cha and the others was also increasing. Their bodies were already starting to turn red. However, because Song Shi was behind them, they seemed very confident.

This made their performance even more outstanding, effectively blocking the approach of the mutated beasts.

Compared to the others, they seemed to be fighting for Song Shi.

Every minute became exceptionally slow. People died every minute. The living also felt more and more pressure.

Twenty minutes later, the cannon’s firepower was getting weaker and weaker. It looked like it would turn off at any moment.

“Brother Song, we can’t hold on much longer.”

Li Cha was sweating profusely and his saber was full of holes.

Song Shi opened his eyes, which flickered with a bright light. There was a faint red and white light circulating in them. He stood up and held the long saber. A layer of red airflow spread out from his hand, causing the blade to begin to turn red.

“You guys rest.”

Song Shi walked over and slashed horizontally. Saber qi actually spread out. These saber qi were still sharp, and many mutated beasts immediately died.

“So fierce!”

Spade was flabbergasted. “I’ve only seen those powerful superhumans on the Internet who can do this.”

Song Shi looked at the mutated beasts that had not decreased and frowned. “If not for the fact that this is all at the entrance of the cave, I’m afraid more would have come out.”

At this moment, the expression of the Adjutant who was communicating with the base city suddenly changed. He walked to Zhang Jiqing’s side and said in a low voice, “The second defense line has already been broken through. This mutated beast tide is very fierce.”

Zhang Jiqing’s eyes darkened when he heard this. He sighed and said, “This is troublesome.”

Song Shi suddenly turned around and said as he killed the mutated beasts, “Camp Commander, can we move?”

He felt that he could not waste any more time here. When his ammunition was exhausted and there were heavy casualties, his life would also be in danger.

“Now that the ammunition is almost exhausted and we’re surrounded by mutated beasts, it’s not easy for you to go anywhere.”

Zhang Jiqing said helplessly, “Look at the surrounding mutated beasts. We can’t move at all.”

“These rats came out of the ground. They definitely didn’t dig here at the last minute. They deliberately ambushed us. If we move around and avoid the tunnels, perhaps the pressure will be lessened.”

Song Shi said, “If we don’t give it our all and leave, we’ll really die here.”

Hearing Song Shi’s words, Zhang Jiqing looked at the mutated beasts in all directions. “Do you think I don’t want to leave?”

“I can open a path. You guys follow behind. As long as you leave a little, you should be able to escape.”

Song Shi decided not to hold back.

“The fuel has been consumed a lot. The rest can probably last for ten miles.”

18:39

Zhang Jiqing looked tempted and turned to ask the Adjutant, “How much further can we go?”

“The fuel has been consumed a lot. The rest can probably last for ten miles.”

The Adjutant replied.

Zhang Jiqing thought for a moment and said to Song Shi, “If you can open up a way out, we’ll leave.”

“If I say I can open it, I can do it.”

Song Shi said coldly, “If you want to leave, hurry up.”

Zhang Jiqing nodded and said to the Adjutant, “Get ready and continue walking back. Change our direction this time. I hope that it’s indeed the mutated beasts lying in ambush in advance. That way, we might be able to escape from here.”

He decided to give it a try. Previously, under the influence of fixed thinking, he thought that there were endless mutated beast tides around him. Now, it seemed like it was really an ambush, but there were too many of them.

If Song Shi could open a path, there would be hope.

“Camp Commander, the tires of the carriage have been bitten off.”

Upon hearing that they were leaving, some cannon fodder cried loudly.

“There aren’t many of them left alive. Everyone, squeeze in.”

Zhang Jiqing frowned. If he did not leave now, he would die. If he left, he would still have a chance of survival. He had to give it a try.

In the end, only ten of the twenty-odd trucks could move. The broken cars and the corpses of many cannon fodder were abandoned.

Amidst the buzzing sound, the team began to retreat, leaving behind corpses that attracted some mutated beasts.

When Song Shi saw the human corpses being crazily devoured, he seized the opportunity to jump out of the truck. With a leap, he covered a distance of 30 feet. With a tap on the cannon battery, he arrived in front of the retreat.

Clang!

The saber in his hand emitted the sound of metal rubbing against each other. This was a rapid formation with the air. Song Shi’s speed coupled with the speed of his saber made the entire saber seem to burn.

His Genuine Qi was further heated up as Song Shi swung his saber.

Boom!

It was as if a bomb had been spat out from Song Shi’s hand. The Saber Qi directly cut a group of mutated beasts into pieces, opening a path.

This was only the first strike. Song Shi had already continued to use his subsequent attacks.

When the many mutated beasts saw that Song Shi actually dared to jump over, they let out strange cries and swarmed forward, giving Song Shi a chance.

With a slash of his saber, the mutated beasts that surrounded him were directly split open by a stream of fire.

After forcefully leaving with the team, Song Shi jumped onto the battery again and realized that he was entangled by the mutated beasts again. A car was torn apart by the mutated beasts and everyone in the carriage was wiped out.
