Chapter 123: Chapter 118: Annihilation

The mountainside was swarmed by Mutants, turning the original green to a sinister black and red.

"..." Xiao Yi, upon seeing this, didn’t panic; after all, someone else would panic for him.

Xu Yingguang panicked.

The screaming Mutant, based on its behavior, was surely one of the higher-level Mutants mentioned by Jed—a Banshee that could attract other Mutants.

But, no one expected that the Banshee could attract so many Mutants! It was almost as if the entire region’s Mutants had swarmed, tens of thousands of them!

Faced with such an enormous number, even with the support of Anti-Abnormal Technology, it was hard to handle! Furthermore, none of the Skills Xiao Yi had mentioned before were effective in this situation!

Xu Yingguang began to think about how to deal with this crisis.

First, he definitely couldn’t try to confront them; he could only run.

Currently, the Mutants were forming a circular encirclement, advancing towards the middle of the mountainside where Xiao Yi and his group were. Obviously, they couldn’t run towards the mountain peak; that would only delay them and eventually create a situation from which they couldn’t break free.

To deal with the encirclement, the best method was undoubtedly... a forceful breakthrough!

An encirclement is a circle. To break through it, they needed to blast a gap in it; only then would they need to deal with a portion of the Mutants, which was undoubtedly easier than facing all of them.

Once they could break through a gap and escape through it, the other Mutants would have a harder time pursuing them.

That’s how the structure of an encirclement works.

Thus, Xu Yingguang promptly said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, use ’Divine Power’! Control the Mutants in one direction, make them clear a path for you while blocking the others! Wait! Don’t be hasty to use it now, use it when you get closer to those Mutants, after all, it’s an area ability!"

"I understand! Let’s go, Xu Woshi."

Xiao Yi nodded head and, along with Xu Woshi, fearlessly charged towards the dark tide of Mutants below the mountain!

Then, just as Xiao Yi was about to confront those Mutants, he immediately activated "Divine Power"!

"...!"

The range of the "Divine Power" Skill was 500 meters, and the encirclement formed by the Mutants facing Xiao Yi was not thick enough to exceed 500 meters!

Therefore, the cluster of Mutants in front of Xiao Yi, under the deterrence of "Divine Power," couldn’t help but halt.

At that moment, Xiao Yi also immediately commanded in his mind, ordering those Mutants to clear a path for him and Xu Woshi, while blocking the other Mutants!

Though they no longer possessed cognitive abilities, as anomalies produced by the instance itself, their essence compelled them to obey Xiao Yi’s command.

They had to follow a higher Power’s command!

The dark tide gradually dispersed, and Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi sprinted through the gap at full speed, swiftly breaking through the encircling ring of Mutants!

The circular encirclement instantly collapsed.

Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi moved as if they were tracked, their movement also known to all Mutants.

Tens of thousands of Mutants! At that moment, all changed their direction and attacked Xiao Yi and his group again!

However, the Mutants closest to Xiao Yi and his group, part obeyed Xiao Yi’s commands, while another part was blocked by those obeying Mutants.

Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi instantly widened the distance from the Mutants!

The lanes and alleys of the residential area were now empty, devoid of any Mutant shadows.

Next, as soon as they left the residential area and reached the car they had driven there, Xiao Yi and his group could safely leave!

After all, no matter how fast those Mutants were, they couldn’t possibly be faster than a car!

However, just as Xiao Yi was confirming the next move, that car was destroyed.

"Shit..."

Xiao Yi’s vision, sharp enough to see clearly into the distance, thus allowed him to witness the condition of the car.

When he saw his car destroyed, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Because the entity that destroyed the vehicle was undoubtedly what one could call a monster!

It was almost as tall as the surrounding buildings, its width filled an entire road, covered all over with rock-hard flesh.

Especially its two arms, so thick they could almost completely cover a sedan!

In fact, that monster had used one of its arms to effortlessly crush Xiao Yi’s car into debris.

That, presumably, was the advanced mutant known as the "Tank" that Jed mentioned!

Xiao Yi had tried to imagine what a Tank would look like, but he never expected it to be so terrifying—it was several times bigger than an actual tank!

Xu Yingguang also frowned deeply.

He hadn’t expected their best means of escape, the car, to be destroyed.

Was this an unfortunate accident, or did... that Tank actually possess the intelligence to know that people would drive away, thus aiming to destroy the vehicle?

Since the vehicle was destroyed, it meant that Xiao Yi had no means to escape these mutants!

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but stop and begin to survey his surroundings, hoping there were still cars around... Then, he realized that not a single car was in sight throughout the residential area and even farther.

Perhaps some cars were hidden in shadows and corners, which Xiao Yi hadn’t noticed, but... While they took the effort to look for cars, these mutants certainly wouldn’t spare them!

"..." Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but display a stern expression.

"...?" However, Xu Woshi just had a calm expression, asking Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, why aren’t you running?"

"The car’s gone, I couldn’t run far even if I tried," Xiao Yi replied with a helpless shrug.

"Can’t run?" Xu Woshi said, "If that’s the case, why not just kill them all? Don’t forget, we have guns."

"..." Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized!

Right! The enemy only had numbers, but we have guns! What era are we in still counting on sheer numbers!

Fuck it, no running! I’ll just blast these mutants!

Just a few tens of thousands of mutants! Watch me kill them all with advanced modern weapons!

"Okay! New plan! We’re not running!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yi also turned around, aimed his gun at the wave-like surge of mutants behind him, and pulled the trigger forcefully!

"Just kill all these mutants! Annihilate them!"

"Okay! Kill them all!" Xu Woshi also immediately began firing her gun!

[...Huh?]

The actions of Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi left the live broadcast audience dumbfounded.

Xu Yingguang: "...Huh?"

Even Xu Yingguang was stunned.

"Wait... wait a minute!" Xu Yingguang hastily asked Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, are you serious? Are you really planning to wipe out all these mutants?"

"Yeah, of course," Xiao Yi’s voice held not a trace of confusion.

"..." Xu Yingguang seemed to realize something as well, he immediately asked, "But, that’s a challenging feat, isn’t it?"

Then, Xiao Yi explained, "The car is already destroyed, even if the two of us ran, we’d eventually run out of energy. In that case, it’s better to fight them! And, don’t forget, we have the ’Wolf God blood’ skill that replenishes our energy when we kill mutants!"

"...True, you make sense!" Xu Yingguang nodded, "Just a few tens of thousands of mutants, with your strength, you can eliminate them all!"

Hearing Xu Yingguang’s words, Xiao Yi’s resolve strengthened even further.
