Chapter 81 Kill Me?
At dusk.
In the gloomy woods, the light was dim.
Everything around was shrouded in black shadows, and when the wind blew, the branches swayed like human-shaped ghosts.
A beam of white light illuminated the depths of the forest.
A man with four arms walked through the woods, one hand holding a flashlight.
Before nightfall, he prepared to survey the surrounding area one last time.
Although there were no traces of the fungal beast on the detection screen, being in the isolation zone, there might be other mutated beasts.
What if I'm sleeping...
The four-armed man stopped his ominous thoughts and shone his flashlight around.
Nothing unusual was found.
He turned back, and a white light swept across the tree trunks. Suddenly, something flickered.
The four-armed man blinked, unsure if he was seeing things.
The flashlight beam immediately shifted to the spot it had just been.
The four-armed man held his breath.
A human face was half-hidden among the tree trunks.
A face as white as paper, with eyes that looked like slits of flesh squeezed together.
She was watching him quietly and coldly.
"who!"
The four-armed man roared, pulling out pistols from his two ribs and locking the muzzle against the man's face and forehead.
"Get out here!"
He dared not look away, his mind already on high alert.
The person's entire body was hidden behind the tree trunk, with only their face sticking out abruptly.
But where would anyone come from in this godforsaken place? And the other person looks suspicious.
The four-armed man had a solemn expression and moved his feet slightly.
The pale-faced man's gaze followed his movements, but he neither replied nor took any action.
An eerie silence fell over the air.
Bang!
The four-armed man decisively opened fire.
The bullet hit the man's forehead, exploding a hole in it.
Immediately, his entire face fell to the ground with a thud due to inertia.
The four-armed man breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a gust of wind.
He turned his head instantly, only to find a figure already pressed against him from behind.
……
22:00 PM, on the other side of the woodland.
Everything around was shrouded in darkness, with only the campfire casting a few scattered lights.
Xu Yang sat by the campfire, glancing at the detection screen every now and then.
The red dot flashed by and then disappeared, and it hasn't appeared since.
hum-
He felt a jolt in his wrist.
Exiting the detection screen, Xu Yang opened the group's temporary channel.
This time should be when the message confirms that both parties are safe.
Sure enough, the first message appeared in the team's message list.
"Everything is normal" — Camor
Kamo is the name of the bandaged man.
Then, another message popped up, confirming that the gray-skinned man's situation was normal.
Xu Yang also sent a message.
Time passed second by second.
While waiting, Xu Yang frowned slightly.
There has been no news about the four-armed man on the list.
"Something happened?"
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the four-armed man's avatar suddenly sent a message—
"Everything is normal"
Xu Yang took a breath.
"That's true. The probability of something going wrong while stopping a fungal beast is too low, especially since this isn't even an important area to begin with."
He pulled open the tent flap and lay down inside, casually turning on the detection function's notification.
An alarm will sound if the fungal beast enters the detection range at night, preventing it from crossing the border overnight.
Xu Yang slowly closed his eyes.
Outside the tent, the light of the campfire slowly died down.
The night passed peacefully.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side
The doomsday convoy crossed the black swamp and traversed the desolate wilderness.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Several black SUVs slowly slowed down and stopped outside a patch of lush green woodland.
The group opened the car door and got out.
"Are you sure it's in this area?" Qi Mingxuan looked at a man in a round hat among the group and slowly asked, "Could you be more precise about its location, like which direction it is?"
The man in the round hat looked at the woodland, his face pale.
He could only see mist of different colors weaving through the forest; everything was hazy in his eyes.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "Right now I can only sense that the monster's aura is roughly in this area. It will take some more time to pinpoint it more accurately."
Qi Mingxuan felt somewhat disappointed and pondered for a moment.
He scanned the people around him and said, "Everyone, go into the woods and search now. Contact me immediately if you find anything."
Then, he looked at the man in the round hat next to him.
"As for you, stay here and use your abilities to sense specific locations. If you succeed, let me know."
After arranging everything, Qi Mingxuan turned and walked towards a black SUV.
He opened the car door and was about to get in when he suddenly stopped, glanced back at his subordinate who was still standing, and said coldly:
"Are you still standing there waiting for me to treat you!"
……
Seeing the crowd outside the car window disperse into the woods, Qi Mingxuan closed the car door, frowned, and slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, the flesh on his chest had grown together with his heart, and he would occasionally experience a sharp, stabbing pain, as if something was drilling inside.
It needs to be removed every now and then, otherwise it will continue to grow.
To completely cure it, you need to go to the hospital for surgery.
But... he didn't have the time; he couldn't just watch the monster escape.
Qi Mingxuan let out a breath.
After chasing it for several days, we've finally caught up.
……
Splash...
A hand unzipped the tent.
Xu Yang yawned and stepped out of the tent.
The sunlight filtering through the trees was a bit too bright.
With a stern face, he took a gas mask out of his backpack and put it on.
The detection interface on the bracelet is completely black except for the green dot representing myself in the center.
But last night, he was woken up several times by the alarm.
The fungal beast would occasionally appear at the edge of the detector, but it wouldn't move forward; it would just wander around in that area in the distance.
He's carrying a bounty; he deserves to die.
Disturbing someone's peaceful sleep deserves to be killed!
Xu Yang stepped forward and quickly ran towards the target area.
His dark red trench coat fluttered in the wind as he moved with the agility of a beast, darting left and right through the forest.
Suddenly, Xu Yang stopped in his tracks.
His muscles forcefully stopped his momentum, and he dodged to the side, hiding behind a tree trunk.
At that moment, a sound came to my ear—
"Damn it, that guy surnamed Qi is really something. This forest is so eerie, what's the point of looking for anything?"
A fat man in a blue shirt spat on the ground and complained to the burly man with a buzz cut beside him, "We might as well have waited for the bald guy to finish sensing things over there before calling us. How long will it take us to find him?"
The burly man sighed, "Yeah, I really don't understand why he's so obsessed with saving every second. It's like he's guaranteed to beat the monster once he finds it."
"If you ask me, we shouldn't have come here. We should have just gone and killed that Xu guy, the one he asked us to find."
"That guy is Xu Yang, just a mid-level member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is no simpler than killing those monsters."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly behind the tree trunk.
"Kill me?"
He took a deep breath, removed his mask, and slowly walked out from behind the tree trunk.
crunch--
The broken twig made a crisp sound when stepped on.
The two men turned around abruptly and instantly raised their guns.
In their line of sight, a tall man in a dark red trench coat was standing a few steps away, looking at them expressionlessly.
"Who do you think we should kill?"
