More than 20 military vehicles, together with Jiang Liushi's minibus and Zhang Hai's military-grade off-road vehicle, drove out of the shelter, heading to the coal and auto repair factories.
Dense black spots in the air accompanied by whistling sounds emerged from time to time. At the same time, fierce gunshot sounds could be heard from every direction. In the blink of an eye, the entire Safety Zone had turned into a vast battlefield.
"Why did the Shi Ying Squad want to come with us? What if they don't follow our orders?" asked Jin Xiangming in a worried tone.
Lu Tianyu replied calmly, "Don't worry about them. As long as they don't affect our mission, they can do whatever they want."
"That man was Jiang Liushi? Is that the minibus from the rumors?" asked the woman suddenly. It seemed that she was quite interested in Jiang Liushi.
"Rumors?" Lu Tianyu asked again in surprise.
"Yes, didn't you know about that? Jiang Liushi has become very famous throughout Jiangning," said the woman with a smile.
Ji Xiangming asked hesitantly, "Secretary Wan, don't you want to check the Logistics Department? We should have asked earlier about its situation."
"No need," replied the spectacled woman coldly.
Ji Xiangming wanted to say something, but in the end, he dispelled the idea. Secretary Wan was also an officer of the Safety Zone, but for some unexplainable reason, she had become Han Yuan's secretary.
Ji Xiangming always felt that this woman had an elusive temperament. Although she seemed harmless, Ji Xiangming was afraid of her and kept his distance from her. Wan Lan was her sister, but she didn't care about her at all. Ji Xiangmingstopped trying to change her mind as it was not his business.
"We should go to the most dangerous and important area immediately," said Wan Yiling.
Lu Tianyu and Ji Xiangming thought that this was their rescue mission, so they didn't say anything.
Soon, they arrived at the auto repair factory.
Although Jiang Liushi had psychologically prepared himself since he had already experienced the attack back at the Logistics Department, he was still shocked after seeing the auto repair factory's current state; it had collapsed!
To make things worse, several huge earthworms were drilling their way out of the ruins. Suddenly, an earthworm with cement fragments in its mouth appeared, and then, it flung them at the soldiers not far away from them. The soldiers were aiming and shooting continuously at the mutant earthworms, but their bullets were useless; only anti-tank grenades could hurt them. But even they were not enough to kill them as their bodies would keep moving even if badly hurt.
Suddenly, a mutant earthworm drilled out from the ground beneath a soldier's feet, and it devoured him whole!
Ran Xiyu frowned. "How could it be that bad?"
Jiang Liushi noticed that all the girls in his team felt crept out. It seemed that girls were more scared of such disgusting and enlarged things.
"They are here!" said Wan Yiling excitedly.
Ji Xiangming and Lu Tianyu felt confused as to why she was so excited.
"Rescue them as soon as possible," ordered Wan Yiling at once.
Initially, Wan Yiling had no right to order the War Squad, but after the meeting, this squad had fallen under Han Yuan's control. Moreover, Wan Yiling had come on behalf of Han Yuan so she could order them now.
"As you command!" answered Lu Tianyu immediately.
In the next moment, he ordered all of his subordinates through the intercom to bring out the machine guns. After that, dozens of soldiers jumped out of their cars and rushed toward the mutant earthworms. They closed in the earthworms while evading their attacks flexibly.
Once a mutant earthworm would open its mouth, the soldiers would immediately throw grenades in it. Then, the earthworms would swallow the grenades, and after a few seconds, their bodies would get torn apart while their fresh and blood splashed everywhere with a muffled sound
The mission was quite dangerous, but it was finished swiftly and without any losses as the soldiers were quite good at cooperating with each other.
Lu Tianyi was quite satisfied with their highly unified actions. It was the result of their long-term training; dozens of people acting as a single entity. Then, Lu Tianyu turned to look at Jiang Liushi's minibus. He hoped that this battle had shocked Jiang Liushi. In his mind, not even the strongest survivors' team could play such an important role during such a battle. In other words, the survivors' teams were inferior to the regular army. As long as his War Squad started to fight, its performance could be nothing less than excellent, brutal and bloody.
Lu Tianyu vaguely saw through the front windshield Jiang Liushi who was sitting in the passenger's seat. Currently, Jiang Liushi had a frown on his face. It seemed that he hadn't paid any attention at the battlefield as he was looking somewhere else.
Lu Tianyu couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Liushi was looking.
Wan Yiling was paying all of her attention on the battlefield's situation. She was quite excited, and even whispered, "Come out…"
Naturally, as a paranormal, Lu Tianyu could hear her words clearly. Before he could ask what he was talking about, a scream came from the battlefield. Lu Tianyu was astounded and hurriedly turned to look at the battlefield.
A mutant snake had suddenly rushed out from the ruins!
The mutant snake opened its mouth and sprayed a big mouthful of dark-green venom, drenching several soldiers. Then, they let out anguished screams due to the excruciating pain while their exposed skin turned into a dark mushy substance the moment the venom came in contact with it. At the same time, the soldiers' eyes became bloodshot from pain before losing sight. Although they tried their best to run to the other direction, that short contact was enough to make them lose their fighting power!
At that moment, the mutant snake turned to other soldiers who were coming to support their comrades. It used its long tail and landed a fierce strike immediately, smashing all the soldiers to the wall. Right after, the snake lifted its triangular head high, exposing its massive body from the ruins. Its scales were so crystal clear that they reflected the sun's intense rays. What was peculiar was the black mist lingering around its body.
Everyone was scared by its true appearance!
