Chapter 207: Encountering Mutated Experimental Subjects

The red dot represented the experimental subjects.

There were around 300 experimental subjects this time, so it wasn’t too big a threat.

Shi Guangliang led a team to clear the obstacles ahead.

The convoy and the others advanced slowly.

Accompanied by the sound of gunshots, Shi Guangliang and the others met up with the experimental subjects.

In convoy, Zhao Xuanxuan was focused on driving the jeep.

She drove steadily. She could tell when to joke around and when not to.

Sun Lingxiao and the two girls behind her gripped their machine guns vigilantly, constantly observing the situation around them.

Suddenly, Shi Guangliang’s voice came through the communication system. “Attention, we have encountered mutated experimental subjects. Prepare for battle!”

Mutated experimental subjects?

Everyone was shocked.

“Senior!” Sun Lingxiao stared at Zhao Xuanxuan solemnly.

“Prepare for battle!” Zhao Xuanxuan jumped out of the vehicle, touching the necklace around her neck as she softly spoke.

This necklace was an accessory that Huang Huang had transformed into, and after Zhao Xuanxuan’s call, it returned to its original state.

At the same time, the hairpin in Sun Lingxiao’s hair lit up. It was something that the Bamboo Spirit turned into.

After the two of them returned to their original forms, they each laid on Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao’s shoulders.

At that moment, Shi Guangliang and the others returned.

Around 100 mutated experimental subjects followed closely behind them.

These mutated experimental subjects did not look much different, but their attributes were much stronger than normal.

First of all, their bodies were three times larger than normal. They were at least nine meters tall.

Furthermore, the scales on their bodies were no longer white but gray.

These scales were much stronger than normal. As a result, ordinary armor-piercing bullets could not break through their defense.

Shi Guangliang and the others had fought with these mutated experimental subjects before and even had machine guns in their hands then. They could not cause any damage to them, so they had to switch to more lethal weapons.

“All Squad Leaders, take note, switch to CT100 bullets,” Shi Guangliang shouted.

The higher-ups had done some research on the mutated experimental subjects before. They knew that the defense of their scales was abnormally strong, so they had developed the CT100 bullets.

This type of bullet was made of special alloy materials. Its hardness and penetrative power were 20 to 30 times better than that of ordinary armor-piercing bullets. It was enough to break through the defense of these mutated experimental subjects.

However, changing bullets required time.

Right now, the mutated experimental subjects were less than 200 meters away from them, less than 10 seconds away with their speed.

It was almost impossible to change their bullets in such a short time.

Shi Guang was aware of this, so he instructed the soldiers of the two squads to delay the mutated experimental subjects with him.

In an instant, gunshots rang out, and the sound of cannon fire shook the sky.

“Aim at their heads,” Shi Guangliang yelled.

The mutated experimental subjects were covered in scales, but their eyes were unprotected.

If firepower was focused on their heads and hit their eyes, it would cause a lot of damage or even death.

However, after these experimental subjects mutated, they also became smarter.

After suffering a large number of attacks, these mutated experimental subjects figured out the soldiers’ motive.

So they turned manic.

In the face of the torrential rain of gunfire, these mutated experimental subjects continued to charge towards the soldiers, unintimidated by the bullets.

Shi Guangliang’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected these mutated experimental subjects to be so crazy.

Since the machine guns were ineffective against them, there was no way to stall them before the bullets were switched.

Shi Guangliang panicked. He couldn’t think of anything at all.

“How long until the bullets are replaced?” Shi Guangliang asked.

“Half a minute!” a squad leader replied.

Half a minute?

That’s too late.

By the time they’re done, we’ll all be dead.

In his anxiety, those mutated experimental subjects were getting closer and closer to them. They would probably arrive in less than 10 seconds.

Shi Guangliang racked his brains but could not come up with a solution.

Are we really going to die here? Shi Guangliang despaired, but at the same time, he was also regretful.

If not for my suggestion, none of them would have come here.

But what was the point of that now?!

At this moment, Shi Guangliang’s face was ashen, and his eyes no longer held the brilliance of the past. He was exceptionally low-spirited.

Although he was still fighting to stop the advancement of the mutated experimental subjects, it was not as he had imagined.

At this moment, the shadow of the mutated experimental subjects enveloped all the soldiers.

“Quick, quick, change the bullets!” The squad leaders urged loudly.

But it was too late.

The mutated experimental subjects arrived in just two steps.

In the nick of time, a figure shot out from the crowd behind them.

“Zhao Xuanxuan?”

“Senior?”

Those who recognized that figure were all shocked.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan was like a god of war, wielding a four-foot-long sword as she charged towards the mutated experimental subjects.

“Zhao Xuanxuan, come back quickly!” Shi Guangliang shouted anxiously.

He wanted to stop her, but Zhao Xuanxuan was too fast, and there was simply no way to stop her. He could only watch as she fought to her death.

Shi Guangliang felt a great sense of guilt and blame.

However, at that moment…

A blinding light streaked across the sky.

Zhao Xuanxuan used the Sword Kinesis Technique and used a small spell—Space Splitting Slash!

The Space Splitting Slash was similar to the sword aura in the Sword Dao. It was a terrifyingly powerful AoE[1] damage spell.

Swoosh!

With a crisp sound, the mutated experimental subjects were split into two like a piece of paper under the Space Splitting Slash.

Other than Sun Lingxiao, everyone else was shocked.

How did she do that?

This was what most people thought.

Zhao Xuanxuan didn’t pay attention to their reactions and continued to use the Space Splitting Slash to kill the experimental subjects.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of mutated experimental subjects fell to the ground.

As the Space Splitting Slash continued to be released, the number of mutated experimental subjects decreased.

After about ten seconds, the CT100 bullets were loaded.

Zhao Xuanxuan stopped and calmly returned to the crowd.

At this moment, everyone was looking at her differently.

They had many questions, but now was not the time to ask questions. They had to eliminate these mutated experimental subjects first.

Thanks to Zhao Xuanxuan, there were less than 100 mutated experimental subjects left.

Thus, taking care of them became a very simple matter.

After Zhao Xuanxuan returned to the crowd, Sun Lingxiao immediately approached her.

“Senior, you were so cool just now!” Sun Lingxiao said with admiration.

“This is just my basic skill. I’ll show you cooler things in the future.” Zhao Xuanxuan said proudly.

“Can I be like you after I cultivate?” Sun Lingxiao whispered.

Zhao Xuanxuan thought for a moment. “That’s hard to say. It still depends on your talent.

“Some people are naturally suited for combat, while others are suited for weapon forging or alchemy.

“Xiaoxiao, your grandma does alchemy. She refines pills.”

“Alchemy?” Sun Lingxiao’s eyes lit up. “Is my grandma formidable?”

“Err… I think so!” Zhao Xuanxuan was sweating.
