Xu Qian drove to the designated location, which was inside a school. Many people were already engaged in combat.
These mutants were the easier kind to kill.
However, they were struggling, taking a long time to dispatch even one.
The mutants were bizarre and grotesque, with bird-people, snake-people, rabbit-people, and all sorts of disarray.
Xu Qian immediately recognized them as the abominations released by the X Group.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering what sinister plan Song Xiaoping was concocting this time.
[Ding, a mandatory side-quest has been unlocked. Please assist Mission Target Number 4 in eradicating the scattered mutants across G Province. Reward: 20,000 points.]
Xu Qian: ...Again?
The young woman jumped out of the car, brandishing a long saber, and charged into the mutant horde.
Soon, mutant after mutant fell.
Everyone was stunned. What kind of saber technique was this? One strike was enough to finish them off?
Xu Qian didn't rush to decapitate them, and no one dared to steal her spoils.
Everyone felt a chill down their necks. Who would dare?
Their lives would be forfeit.
In a short time, Xu Qian single-handedly eliminated the entire area. The onlookers stood frozen, unable to find an opening to join the fray.
After beheading the last mutant, Xu Qian asked, "Where else are there mutants?"
Everyone collectively pointed towards the teaching building.
Sweat dripped down the backs of the onlookers. This woman was both capable and ruthless; she had decapitated them without a hint of hesitation.
They hoped the base had such individuals.
Why had they never known?
Those who could typically undertake a four-star mission were generally mid-to-upper tier within Hope Base. The top powerhouses of Hope Base could be counted on one hand with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, a woman's voice trembled as she called out to her, "Big sister, do you have a team? Our team... are you interested?"
The leader felt a bit ashamed uttering those words. Although their Beautiful Girls Squad was well-regarded at Hope Base, compared to this person, their squad was nothing.
Even if the entire squad fought her, they wouldn't win.
Her intention in recruiting Xu Qian was clear: she wanted her to protect the Beautiful Girls Squad.
The Beautiful Girls Squad consisted entirely of women and was often harassed by higher-ranked teams.
If she was willing, the team leader position could be handed over immediately.
Xu Qian didn't even turn back, flatly refusing, "I have a team."
The Sunburst team, forever.
As Xu Qian stepped into the experimental building, she was met by a group of people. These people looked familiar.
The leader was Jiang Huai, from the Whirlwind Squad.
Jiang Huai recognized Xu Qian at a glance. After seven years of interaction in their past life, even with her significant changes, he could still recognize her.
"Qian..."
How long had it been since they last saw each other? Three years, two years?
He couldn't remember.
"Hey, beauty, you're here for a mission too? We've already killed all the mutants inside, so you don't need to go in."
The others exchanged glances. So this was the woman Li Fu had been talking about.
Just now, he had been thinking how great it would be if they could recruit a spatial ability user to their team.
Yan Huai couldn't suppress his longing and softly said, "Can we talk?"
Xu Qian didn't even glance at him. The events of their past life had faded over the past three years.
Revenge was to be had, but feelings were another matter.
"I have nothing to say to you."
Yan Huai's expression tightened, and he quickly called out, "I have something you'll definitely be interested in, and it won't take too much of your time."
The teammates of the Whirlwind Squad were astonished. They never imagined their captain would be pursuing a woman.
In their eyes, Yan Huai had never shown interest in women, except for his visits to the female service station during his episodes.
Xu Qian frowned and said coldly, "Let's go."
