Chapter 856: Chapter 852: Capture the King First

All this happened in the blink of an eye; from when the Head of the regiment realized what was happening to when all the children went berserk, there was only a difference of seven to eight seconds.

Various colored laser beams crisscrossed the canteen hall. Those children, who seemed harmless just a second ago, could you imagine them picking up guns the next second, crazily shooting at the people who were just taking good care of them?

The Head of the regiment watched as the staff members in front of him fell one by one, the potent attack of the laser weapons turning several bodies into beehives, their corpses pushed two or three meters across by the force of the beams.

"Ma De! Someone help! We’ve been ambushed!"

The Head of the regiment ran outside, just in time to see several soldiers rushing over with their weapons. He immediately roared, "Inside are Jiuge’s child soldiers! Go notify the others! Tell them to come and support!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers who arrived hesitated for a moment before turning and quickly leaving, while the Head of the regiment picked up a full-face combat helmet lying nearby, and just as he was about to put it on, a voice appeared beside him.

"Head ... Save me!"

Looking down, he saw a woman covered in blood begging for his help at the entrance.

"Come out quickly."

The Head of the regiment pulled her out, but only half of her body came out, her colorful innards smeared all over the ground, an extremely bloody scene!

"Head of the regiment, I... I... I can’t make it... please take care of my son..."

Badly injured, the woman died just after being dragged out. The Head of the regiment was stunned, and a fierce rage blazed in his heart!

Ah!

With a howl, he put on the full-face combat helmet, and the exoskeleton suit quickly covered his entire body. With a "ding", the combat helmet snapped into place with the exoskeleton suit.

The robust vitality of a Level 3 New Human burst out, as he turned and smashed through the glass door. In an instant, a sky full of laser beams flew towards him!

"Kill him!"

The child soldiers who were engaging in a frenzied slaughter saw him enter and screamed, and numerous children nimbly leaped out from behind tables and chairs, firing crazily at the Head of the regiment.

"You’re courting death!"

A look of rage appeared on the Head of the regiment’s face. Braving the furious attacks, he charged toward a child soldier closest to him. Without any hesitation, although his adversaries were just a group of children, he chose to strike rather than face the consequences of hesitation!

Several screams followed as he knocked a few child soldiers into the air with his powerful force. They spat out mouthfuls of blood and did not get up for a long while in mid-air.

Ding dang ding dang...

Laser beams kept striking the exoskeleton armor on the Head of the regiment, the steel slowly twisting and deforming, and of course, he noticed this.

"To capture the bandits, capture their leader first!"

This thought flashed through his mind, and with an icy look, he instantly turned his gaze to a child standing in the corner. Judging by the reaction since they arrived, this kid was likely the commander of this unit of child soldiers!

Without a second word, the Head of the regiment’s demeanor shocked with murderous intent, locking onto the child as if a fierce beast broke out of its cage, and he "whooshed" towards her!

The child soldiers he bumped into were sent flying without exception!

As the head of the child soldiers, the commandant was startled by the regiment head’s tiger-like demeanor and quickly shouted something to the soldiers beside her. The children’s faces showed hesitation upon hearing her.

But time waits for no one. The head of the regiment was closing in rapidly, and the child soldiers felt even more panicked. A child could never defeat an adult, let alone a Level 3 New Human.

The pervasive aura of killing intent scared her; if he got close, she didn’t know how many times she would die. Thinking this, she roared again at the children beside her in what seemed to be a threatening tone.

It was unclear what she said to the group of children, but the previously hesitant child soldiers now wore expressions of panic, which quickly turned into resolution. They each took a small box from their packs, opened it to reveal a syringe filled with a pale red liquid.

They clutched the syringes, their faces a mask of struggle, and then injected the syringes fiercely into their own arms! Pressing the plunger, the pale red liquid entered their bodies.

Seeing this, the head of the regiment’s heart skipped a beat, and he accelerated sharply, careening toward the child soldiers’ commander!

He knew what the liquid in the syringe was. It was anti-life substance! These child soldiers were injecting anti-life substance! This thing had made frequent appearances during the continuing wars between the United District and Jiuge, and many people were aware of what this liquid entailed.

Unlike ordinary anti-life substances, however, this version was specially customized by Jiuge, its main effect being to grant the user the abilities of a zombie!

But these things also had side effects. Those who injected it would see their strength multiple times amplified within the following period, but once the time passed, the consequences were severe: at best, causing irreversible damage to one’s body; at worst, turning into zombies or dying outright!

"Ah Bu Ka!"

With a roar, the commandant’s face turned pale with fear, and she squeezed into the crowd, while the head of the regiment coldly chased after her.

"Run inside!"

With a fierce shout, he stretched out a hand, his fingers contorting to grasp the commander’s head!

But soon, a beast-like roar exploded next to the regiment head’s ear!

The bodies of those who had injected the substance started to deform. Their clothes ballooned at an alarming rate, veins on their foreheads turning blood red during the transformation, their eye whites becoming densely threaded with blood vessels, and their brown irises seemingly covered by a white film — the rhythm of becoming a zombie!

However, the head of the regiment knew they were not real zombies, just temporarily endowed with zombie strength!

His speed increased yet again, but just as he was about to reach the commander, some of the child soldiers who had injected the anti-life substance blocked his path, shouting in a language he didn’t understand, and swinging their fists at him!

They, having received the anti-life substance, looked like monsters from a movie, with bodies twisted into irregular shapes as if a muscle-bound man had shrunk into a child and then had been kneaded by a giant as if he was putty.

They were ugly in appearance, but their strength far surpassed that of ordinary humans!

A punch came flying his way, but the head of the regiment dodged, pressing on toward the commander of the child soldiers. The surrounding people tried to rush over but were quickly repelled by his imposing force, injuring anyone daring to approach!

The wind whistled by his ear, accompanied by the incomprehensible shouts of the child soldiers; the head of the regiment forced his way through the crowd to confront the commander.

The little girl was seized by him; she too was overcome with terror, babbling ceaselessly.

"Stop right there!"

With countless guns pointed at him, the head of the regiment was unfazed. He roared furiously and pressed the Laser Beam rifle to the commander’s head, causing everyone to freeze.
