A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 816 - 802: Reunion

Ever since Wildfire discovered these city ruins, they've been dedicated to developing the area, nearly gathering all personnel around, managed by the leader of Wildfire, who is the true decision-maker here.

He is also the only Level Two Mutant in Wildfire.

However.

A Level Two Mutant leading Wildfire in the development of the city, and with corporate development teams also present in the city, a lack of attention may lead to them fighting each other; he's somewhat overwhelmed.

Or perhaps.

Unable to handle two emergencies at once.

An Hongye and Luo Cheng's teams just happened to encounter such a dilemma.

During their ongoing mission, they unfortunately became surrounded by hundreds of Mutated Gene Beasts.

These Gene Beasts fearlessly brave death.

Moreover, someone in the team got injured, the scent of blood like the most conspicuous landmark, drawing these fierce beasts to charge forward one after the other.

The bullets find it hard to instantly kill them.

Only concentrating firepower directly on a Gene Mutated Beast with relentless attacks would render them immobile.

Luo Cheng was already feeling desperate.

Even if he could survive the clutches of these Gene Mutated Beasts, this time, he might lose eighty percent of his squad members.

This was unacceptable to him.

The team he brought this time comprises loyal confidants, only after confirming no danger did they form a squad to enter the city ruins, aiming for a big payoff.

If too many of his trusted aides under him suffer casualties.

His influence within Wildfire would be seriously threatened, even losing his commander's position.

Yet.

In this critical moment, while the Mutated Gene Beasts roared in anger, they retreated like a tide.

This strange sight made many people think it was a divine intervention.

How could these ferocious, brutal beasts just suddenly retreat without any indication?

Logically speaking.

To these beasts, these people were prey within reach.

Hunters in pursuit, how could they abandon the hunt when the prey is almost within grasp?

"Commander, all the Mutated Gene Beasts have disappeared, heading towards the western part of the city.

I suspect there's an issue over there, should we continue our mission?"

An Hongye reported meticulously, holding her gun.

Luo Cheng looked towards the direction of the city's west, asking: "What about the casualties?"

"Two deaths, seventeen injured, among them ten seriously injured, seven lightly injured. Commander, I suggest temporarily halting the mission."

An Hongye said seriously.

There are clearly too many unstable factors in this city now. Pushing forward recklessly indicates uncertain gains, with considerable risk.

Such action.

No longer has any cost-effectiveness.

"How's Second Commander doing?"

Luo Cheng asked again.

An Hongye shook her head: "Not sure, but so far there's no news of danger, perhaps things are going smoothly."

This development of the city ruins.

May also be an opportunity for the Grand Commander to cultivate his two successors.

Wildfire has only one Level Two Mutant, but recently, the Grand Commander spent enormous resources acquired another Level Two Genetic Elixir from Steel Warrior.

Whoever gains the upper hand in this action.

Would likely obtain this Level Two Genetic Elixir.

That's why Luo Cheng doesn't want to give up, born on the wasteland, licking the blood from a blade to survive, managing only to become a Level Three Mutant by now.

If he doesn't fight harder.

His life might just end like this.

Faced with opportunity and risk, he never hesitates when it's time to act, it's the fierce nature deep in the bones of wasteland folks.

"Let's go, to the city's west."

Luo Cheng paused, then said heavily: "Send a small team to transport the wounded to a temporary resting point for treatment, the rest follow me."

An Hongye felt somewhat puzzled.

But Luo Cheng didn't explain much, only saying lightly: "Hongye, this is our chance to turn things around.

Second Commander and we aren't aligned.

If I get the Level Two Genetic Elixir, I can thoroughly overpower Second Commander, you know how important this is, right?"

An Hongye was momentarily speechless.

Luo Cheng's decision must be obeyed unconditionally by the soldiers below, after a brief rest, they approached the city west.

However.

They didn't foresee the massacre in the city's west.

The blood initially attracting an ocean of Mutated Gene Beasts was compounded when Baiyu still found it insufficient, drove their previous jeep here, turned the car speakers up to full volume, with doors wide open, continuously producing noise.

Thus.

This place became a super grinder completely.

Aphel alone couldn't entirely kill the endlessly incoming beasts, many lone ones were all handled by Baiyu and Wang Shenghua.

"Commander, look over there, what's that?"

On the rooftop of a tall building.

Luo Cheng heard his subordinate's terrified voice, swiftly grabbed the binoculars, and witnessed a horrifying scene.

Countless fierce beasts piled into a mountain of flesh, surging towards the middle at a blood-blurry center.

The ground already ran rivers of blood.

Too many corpses stacked beside, severely affecting street traffic and cleanliness.

And this was just the beginning.

Fierce beasts continuously converged from all directions, imaginable that the pile of corpses around would grow larger.

This was intentional hunting!

Though not mentioning how bold the idea is, those capable of hunting fierce beasts in this place, wouldn't they be people of ill repute?

"Commander, what should we do now?"

An Hongye asked solemnly.

Luo Cheng shook his head, indicating not to act rashly.

However.

After watching for a while, An Hongye suddenly exclaimed: "Commander, I think I saw someone familiar!"

Luo Cheng furrowed his brow: "What?"

An Hongye said: "It's Baiyu, Baiyu's below, hiding in a high-rise room alongside the street."

Luo Cheng's eyes gleamed.

Following the direction An Hongye pointed, he indeed discovered Baiyu and company.

"He's just a Level Three Mutant, how does he dare to do this? Could it be he's drawn by the sounds?"

Luo Cheng pondered in his heart.

But the next second, he immediately realized he was wrong.

In the room where Baiyu was located, a girl leapt out, flying instantly into the air above the gathering fierce beasts, herself emitting countless dazzling, blinding lightning.

Like divine punishment.

Countless lightning bolts fell, striking these beasts fiercely, tearing their hides, causing blood to flow.

This was far more powerful than bullets!

Seeing this scene, Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel his spine chill.
