Chapter 113: 108 Chapters ↑↓

After confirming that Xu Woshi was safely hidden behind a concrete pillar, Xiao Yi asked Xu Yingguang, "Uncle Xu, what should I do next?"

Xu Yingguang said, "First, throw the explosive device into the crowd of mutants. You’re now on the second floor. If they find and attack you, use the narrow space of the staircase to control the number and distribution of the mutants. Just fire at will at the stairwell entrance."

"I understand." Xiao Yi immediately pulled the pin from a hand grenade in his hand, not needing to aim specifically, and tossed it downstairs—and not just one.

Then, dull, not-so-deafening sounds erupted, followed by the mutants’ collapsing roars.

Xiao Yi’s ear continually received system notifications about increases in physical fitness, including a 0.005 increase, which must have been caused by the faster types of mutants. It seemed that the increase varied depending on the strength of the mutants.

Peering cautiously from the second floor, Xiao Yi noticed most mutants were blasted to pieces, whereas the remaining sporadically scattered mutants first looked around in confusion, then, as if on some command, suddenly charged into the building!

The operational mechanism of the mutants remained unclear.

Soon, noises from mutants came from the stairwell. Xiao Yi immediately grabbed his gun, stationed himself at the stairwell, and opened fire on the incoming mutants.

At the same time, Xiao Yi also used his communication device to warn Xu Woshi, "Xu Woshi, these mutants are acting strangely; stay further back... Xu Woshi? Can you hear me?"

Xu Woshi didn’t respond, making Xiao Yi fear that something had happened to her. He hurriedly looked toward Xu Woshi’s location!

At that moment, Xu Woshi peeked out from behind the concrete pillar and approached Xiao Yi with a puzzled look.

"...? Don’t come over here! Stay away from me!"

Nonetheless, Xu Woshi came over and said, "I can hear what you’re saying, but it seems like you can’t hear me. What’s going on?"

Hearing this, Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but hold his forehead; he realized Xu Woshi was in interception mode, so she could only hear Xiao Yi’s voice.

"It seems there’s a problem with the equipment dad gave me," concluded Xu Woshi, then she slightly smiled, "But I guess this counts as an emergency! Since I’m here anyhow, let me join in!"

Saying so, Xu Woshi immediately raised her gun and started shooting toward the stairwell entrance.

Xiao Yi: "?"

Soon, the stairwell entrance was packed with the bodies of mutants, completely blocked.

Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief; it would take some time for the mutants to break through this barrier of flesh. This was a good opportunity to let Xu Woshi catch her breath.

However, just then, an unknown mutant suddenly emerged from behind him and attacked!

Xiao Yi immediately raised his gun and shot it dead but couldn’t help wondering where that mutant had come from.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yi discovered that the mutants had begun to form human ladders to reach the second floor directly!

"They really do have intelligence! Or are being commanded by something intelligent!" Xu Yingguang immediately said, "You two, go upstairs!"

"No." However, Xu Woshi shook her head and said to Xiao Yi, "Running away won’t solve the problem. Xiao Yi, you stay on top, and I’ll be below. Let’s squeeze them from front and back!"

With that, Xu Woshi actually jumped down from the second floor!

Xiao Yi: "Damn!"

Xiao Yi hurried over and looked downstairs, only to find that Xu Woshi was... making a slaughter? And doing... pretty well at it.

"..." Xiao Yi fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Uncle Xu, are you sure I need to protect her?"

"..."

Xu Yingguang was reluctant to admit that Xu Woshi, like Xiao Yi, was curious about certain things and wanted to engage with them, and given her facilities, she had learned a variety of strange techniques, including how to use guns

While Xu Woshi could indeed easily handle a few mutants, she only dared to take the initiative because she knew her capabilities. But Xu Yingguang simply couldn’t help but worry about her.

Moreover, not just in this aspect, but in fact, Xu Woshi and Xiao Yi even thought in similar ways! It was because they were so alike that Xu Yingguang dealt so skillfully and experiencedly with matters concerning Xiao Yi.

Xu Yingguang didn’t speak about these things, nor did he have time to. He just said, "Anyhow, she’s just a slightly uncommon ordinary girl. When facing stronger enemies, her abilities are limited; you’ll need to protect her. For now, I’ll go remind her to turn on her communication mode."

"I understand."

Xiao Yi also immediately raised his gun and, together with Xu Woshi, from above and below, in a so-called squeeze from front and back, annihilated nearly all the mutants surrounding them!

By this, Xiao Yi’s kill count had surpassed one thousand, and his physical fitness had been temporarily boosted a bit.

Xiao Yi did not feel tired, because the Wolf God Blood provided recovery; he was more concerned about Xu Woshi’s situation now.

Using his communicator, Xiao Yi immediately asked, "Xu Woshi, are you alright? Not hurt, are you?"

"Oh, can you hear my voice?" Xu Woshi’s voice sounded somewhat proud, "I’m not hurt, see? I told you I could be useful!"

"Yeah, you were right. It’s good that you’re not hurt."

"I’m going to check the building’s interior again for any remaining mutants." Saying this, Xu Woshi had already dashed into the building.

"Wait, don’t move around, I’ll come down to meet you."

"Meet me?" Xu Woshi paused, then said, "I see you now; you got here really fast."

Xiao Yi: "?"

I haven’t even gone down yet? Who did Xu Woshi see?

Xiao Yi suddenly felt tense, and he hurriedly said, "That’s not me!"

Xu Woshi confused, "You say it’s not you? But didn’t you say you were coming to meet me? Who else could it be?"

"Xu Woshi! You really are a dumbass!" Xiao Yi hurriedly jumped down from the second floor!

[This...is a rather straightforward insult.]

[Barely met and already calling her dumbass?]

After Xiao Yi jumped down, he indeed saw a mutant slowly approaching Xu Woshi, and that mutant didn’t look anything like him!

At this moment, Xu Woshi seemed to realize as well, she was startled and about to raise her gun, but Xiao Yi had already shot the mutant dead.

"Phew... that was close, you..."

"Wah!!!"

Just as Xiao Yi was about to approach, Xu Woshi, like a startled cat, suddenly jumped up, then quickly raised her gun, and dumped a whole magazine of bullets into Xiao Yi!

After finishing, Xu Woshi then realized, "I was wondering why this mutant was so tough; turns out it was you."

"..." Xiao Yi’s mouth twitched for a moment before he said, "I feel like I’m your shooting practice. When there’s no mutant, you just shoot at me to get a feel for it, right?"

[Shooting practice? Somehow that feels awkward.]

"..." Xu Woshi too lowered her head in shame, "Sorry, I just got too excited, you can tell me whatever you want as an apology afterward."

[?]

Xu Yingguang: "?"

"That won’t be necessary," Xiao Yi said. "You’re like every other woman I know, not so logical in thinking and easily swayed by emotions. You can’t even tell me apart from a mutant; that’s a bit of an issue, try to be a bit more rational."

"Other women..." Xu Woshi muttered discontentedly, "That’s discrimination. Just wait, one day you’ll turn into a woman too, and then we’ll see if you dare talk like that."

[???]

Questions marks rightfully appeared in the stream, and Xiao Yi couldn’t help but slowly type out a question mark himself.

Me turning into a woman? What a joke!

Xu Woshi must have mixed up the concept of people turning old. How could she mess up such common sense?

Xiao Yi’s gaze towards Xu Woshi involuntarily shifted.

Although Xiao Yi had great respect for intelligent people, he really disliked idiots. This might well be the so-called repulsion among like entities.
