"Ding, mission objective three, Xiao Ping, can be summoned to help."
Xu Qian turned and blocked his arms. He was very strong, and her tiger's mouth throbbed from the resistance.
"You damn woman, I'm going to capture you for research!!"
"System, I have to rely on myself. What will I do when he's gone?"
"...Ding, these mutated individuals are stronger than before. Swords and guns are useless against them, and powers can't penetrate them. Only brute force powers can work."
"Meaning, only brute force powers?"
Brute force powers are those that cause physical damage.
For example, strength, fire, metal, ice, etc.
"Ding, yes."
"Give me another helmet."
"Ding, Host, Xiao Ping is not afraid of radiation."
Although the system said so, she still put the helmet into her spatial storage obediently.
"Ahhhhhhh—"
With a slight thought, Xu Qian pulled Xiao Ping out and put the helmet on him.
"Use your powers quickly!"
Xiao Ping hadn't even recovered his senses when six arms lunged at him.
His pupils darkened, and his hands glowed white. A huge white net appeared in front of him.
The mutated person tore at the white net with his six hands. Those hands began to melt, but he didn't stop.
Xiao Ping's eyes narrowed. He retracted the white net and transformed it into a white pillar that shot straight at the mutant's head.
Instantly, the mutated person's head fell off.
His body, however, continued to lunge at them as if nothing had happened. Whether he had a head or not was of no consequence to him.
Xu Qian moved, plunging her Baser knife directly into the severed neck of the mutant and slicing forcefully.
The person was cut in half.
The two halves of the body split open. Inside, instead of flowing red blood and organs, a black, mushy mass spilled out, making it almost impossible to see anything.
Before they could think much, the sound of dense footsteps approached.
"Hoo hoo hoo—"
Both of them looked up simultaneously and saw a group of mutated beings rushing towards them. They were grotesquely shaped.
Some had two heads, some had four legs, and some had six eyes and eight mouths.
Dealing with one was already difficult; dealing with so many was another matter entirely.
"Xiao Ping, run."
As soon as she spoke, Xu Qian didn't hesitate and turned to dash towards the only building.
"System, is this caused by radiation bombs?"
"Ding, yes. All living beings within a 5-kilometer radius will mutate, including humans and zombies. The system has scanned the area, and there are no bases within 5 kilometers. Host, you can rest assured."
Xu Qian frowned. Their mutation was not her concern, but dealing with these things was too troublesome.
The two humans and two "corpses" reached the building. The door had a password lock.
With a thought, Xu Qian took out a flashlight and shone it on the password lock. She tried entering the code several times based on the fingerprints, but it still wouldn't open.
Suddenly, with a "click."
The door opened.
A man in a black suit stood inside. His terrifying face broke into a smile.
"Xu Qian, you've arrived."
Xu Qian's scalp tingled. She pulled Xiao Ping back a step…
He didn't have extra limbs, but there was a huge tumor on his left cheek, a large, red mass dangling by his neck.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The girl's brow was icy. She said in a deep voice, "Yu Yongyi."
Yu Yongyi had been blown up by her in E City last time…
His sudden reappearance now confirmed her guess: he did indeed have a way to revive.
Suddenly, the tumor on his face stretched out and coiled towards her.
Xu Qian's expression twisted with disgust. She turned and dodged to the side. The tumor immediately coiled around a mutated being behind her.
In that instant, the mutated being flattened into a pancake, its internal organs spilling out with a splat.
Xu Qian's eyes were dark. That tumor was surprisingly powerful.
