Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 129

Chapter 129

The mutated monster was huge.

Its claws and teeth were sharp, its appearance strange and terrifying. When it stood up, its thick body was four or five meters above the floodwaters. Its three pairs of white, upturned eyes were all different, and its fangs were long and sharp, giving it a ferocious and frightening look.

At this moment, it was looking down from above at the few people rushing towards it.

Like ants… people.

Indeed, compared to the huge monster in front of them, they were indeed small, like the difference between an elephant and a small dog. To face it was like deliberately seeking death.

But the four people who rushed forward without hesitation had red eyes, and still rushed in without a shred of regret.

After being soaked in water for so long, not to mention that they didn’t have any thermal weapons now, even if they did, they would have been useless. And besides, against such a huge monster, would a pistol or something be of any use?

Useless.

Unless it was a heavy firepower weapon, then it could at least fight for a bit.

But now, saying this was useless. The four people clearly all had abilities. They used the log as a fulcrum to get up, and then used the force to push it farther away. Then, using the mutated animals that had fallen into the flood and were unable to escape or sink as fulcrums, they all drew their glistening military knives and rushed towards the mutated monster.

Four people, four kinds of abilities.

A beam-type, a transformation-type, a giant-type, and the lead female Alpha, Xia Jin, was actually a dual ability user of the metal and word-spirit types.

With just a “wing,” she could grow wings. Although she couldn’t fly at high speeds or for a long time, in a situation like this, it was a perfect ability for dodging or short-term flight.

Song Xun was a little jealous.

She was very satisfied with her lightning-type ability, but, she was still envious.

On the speeding assault boat, Song Xun held the helm with one hand and her binoculars with the other, clicking her tongue as she watched.

Not to mention anything else, just the control of these four people over their abilities was truly impressive. Even though they were not water-type, and this water surface was not advantageous for them, with no place to land, at least their adaptability was very good.

It seemed they had been carefully cultivated by some force. And to be with Guan He, they must be from the first base.

“…Tsk! Xia Jin, that guy is amazing now.”

Hearing the voice from behind her, she didn’t turn around. “Sis, you know her?”

“I know her, but not well.”

Song Ye shouldered a single-soldier rocket launcher and also held her binoculars. “She’s from the Jingbei City military department’s special forces. We fought once in a military competition before. Her military boxing is very good, not inferior to mine.”

As she spoke, she tilted her head and thought for a moment. “And there’s a rumor that she’s that Chief Jiang’s granddaughter, his only descendant. But I don’t know if this news is true or false.”

Chief Jiang?

Song Xun thought for a moment and had a sudden realization. “You mean Jiang Weixiu, Chief Jiang.”

Wow! That was a true national-level big shot.

And also one of the founders and builders of the first base in her memory. But looking at Xia Jin’s appearance, she was a little puzzled.

Xia Jin was undoubtedly very strong.

Not to mention she had dual-type abilities, her skills were also not inferior to Song Ye’s. But why was there no news of such a talented person after 7 years?

Even in her past life of seven years…

This was clearly not logical.

And she had never even heard of the name Xia Jin. And she even suddenly remembered that the first base’s Chief Jiang… seemed to have died of illness long ago.

It seemed, it seemed to be around the third year of the apocalypse.

But although this was a big event for the first base, because the news circulated slowly after the apocalypse, and with the survivors’ main attention focused on survival, in reality, they didn’t pay much attention to this kind of thing.

They just listened to it, and then it passed.

Song Xun’s mentality at that time was the same.

But she still remembered that it seemed to be after this Chief Jiang died that the first base had announced a large-scale awakening method for spiritual energy evolution during the extreme heat period a few months later, thus ushering in the true era of abilities.

Although this awakening method was too harsh and aggressive in the later stages, and the casualties were too great, and it was quickly abolished, it was undeniable that, whether good or bad, it was indeed unparalleled at that time.

Whether these two things had any necessary connection, but thinking about it, this Xia Jin… must have had an accident.

Maybe she had died here.

But in any case, there were no clues and it was none of her business. Song Xun didn’t want to think too much about it. The thought just passed through her mind and was thrown into the Pacific.

The waves were too big. The closer they got, the more she had to let go of her binoculars and hold the helm with both hands to keep the assault boat from being overturned on the churning water.

Looking around, the frighteningly large monster howled at the sky, its massive body coiled up, like a demon.

Roar roar—

The roar echoed with the foul-smelling, putrid waves, and when it reached her ears, it just buzzed, the kind of feeling that could make your brain explode.

The serpent’s tail was sharp, covered in crisscrossing white bones. But it was huge, and with just one sweep, it could instantly create a row of several-meter-high waves that crashed down.

If you were really hit by this tail, you would surely die. Even if you were lucky enough to survive, you would be injured and fall into the flood, and you would surely die.

Swish swish—

The waves were fast and powerful. Other than Xia Jin, who instinctively pulled the nearest Miao Qi back a little, Yuan Mingyi and Pan Shu couldn’t dodge in time and were swept away by the serpent’s tail that came with the waves.

Bang!

Boom—

“Mingyi, Pan Shu?!”

But the two of them were swept into the floodwaters and were quickly submerged, their whereabouts unknown.

Xia Jin didn’t care about anything. Seeing the monster attack again, she quickly pulled Miao Qi and was about to retreat again. The splashing water soaked the two of them, but it was too late. The serpent’s tail swept over, and under this unstoppable and unavoidable great force, the two of them were actually scattered.

Her face changed dramatically. She struggled to reach out and grab Miao Qi, but the monstrous wave roared and surged. She couldn’t grab him and could only watch as the person she had almost been able to grab was swallowed by the waves in the blink of an eye.

“Fuck!”

She cursed loudly. Even knowing it was certain death, when she saw her teammates disappear one by one, she still couldn’t help but break down a little.

“Fire.”

“Ice.”

“Earth…”

Three low shouts were squeezed out of her throat, hoarse and numb, with an almost uncontrollable brokenness. The next moment, a fireball, an icicle, and a clod of earth appeared out of thin air above her head and smashed at the huge mutated monster.

Roar roar—

But it was completely painless. On the contrary, she was hit and thrown over, almost unable to maintain the wings on her back, and she rolled in the waves.

“Boss…”

In the distance, on the log, Zhan Qing couldn’t help but look back and then burst into tears.

Guan He was dazed. She was a Beta and had not undergone any special training. After being soaked for so long, she was already on the verge of collapsing. Guan Ling gritted her teeth and sent her sister onto the log so she wouldn’t slip and fall into the flood.

“Zhan Qing, we’re already a long way away. This monster probably won’t chase us anymore. Why don’t you…”

She didn’t know what to say. To have her go over was to send her to her death.

But if she didn’t let her go…

But she disagreed. “No, my mission is to escort you and Dr. Guan to Ning Mountain and back to the base.”

She was not afraid of death; she was afraid of failing her mission.

The main mission could no longer be completed, but to safely escort them back to the base, she would have to risk her life to complete it.

Seeing the thin Alpha’s red-rimmed eyes and her tightly bitten, pale lips, her obviously stubborn look, she secretly sighed and didn’t say any more.

This way, it’s good.

At least one can survive. If they can really live on…

Rumble!

In the thundering waves, mixed with the strange roar of the black shadow, it quickly caught up. In an instant, the water splashed, and the momentum was immense.

It was too fast…

She and Guan Ling were startled. Forgetting their sorrow, they quickly propped themselves up on the log and fled.

Guan Ling had no ability, while she was an earth-type ability user, which was the most incompatible with water. Although she was a genius, she was completely useless on this water surface.

And her body was relatively weak, and her boxing was average, which was why Xia Jin had let her escape with them, hoping to delay the monster for a while so they could live.

The plan was good, but it was impossible to realize.

The mutated monster’s speed was too fast. Its serpent’s tail swept over, and an unstoppable great force, accompanied by a wave, rushed over in an instant.

Bang…

Her and Guan Ling’s entire bodies trembled, and their vision went black. They only felt a pain as if their bones were about to break, and their entire bodies were almost torn apart.

And they were thrown far away by the waves. The log slipped from their hands and shattered. The few of them were helplessly falling into the floodwaters, and could only watch as the green-faced human face opened its fangs and swallowed them.

But at this critical moment, a rocket flew over with a trail of smoke and landed right in its large mouth.

With a “boom,” a huge sound erupted, and then the mutated monster was hit and howled in pain, rolling in the water.

It was Song Ye who had fired a rocket.

Of course, it wasn’t just one. She shouldered a single-soldier rocket launcher and fired a barrage. It wasn’t until she, who was driving the assault boat, came close that she stopped. The two of them quickly pulled the unconscious Guan He and Guan Ling out of the water. Zhan Qing was still half-awake, though she couldn’t get up.

As for the person whose appearance they had not been able to see before…

When she had pulled the person out, she had discovered that it was Wei Ke.

What’s going on?

How did he end up with Guan He?

She was very puzzled, but she didn’t have time to think about it. Without the suppression of the rocket launcher, the mutated monster had gotten up again.

And this time, it was even angrier.

Its massive, white-boned serpent’s tail swept over, creating a large wave. Seeing that they were about to be hit, she sent a bolt of lightning over, narrowly deflecting it.

She had discovered that this big guy was afraid of lightning.

The assault boat shook and almost overturned, but fortunately, she managed to stabilize it. It sped away like a flash of lightning. And the next moment, with the angry roar of the mutated monster, this area of the water was once again submerged in a monstrous wave.

The assault boat was at maximum speed. She and Song Ye only felt the wind whistling in their ears, and for a moment, even the roar behind them was somewhat muffled.

Although this series of actions was quite thrilling, at least everything was under control. But looking back at the large monster chasing after them, she still clicked her tongue.

Mutated monsters were indeed terrifying.

The assault boat was not heading towards Ning Mountain. This monster was so terrifying, and she couldn’t kill it in a short time. If it was led to Ning Mountain and wreaked havoc, she would surely cry her eyes out.

So she could only flee far away first, luring it away from Ning Mountain.

As for what to do next, how to escape, they would just have to improvise.
