I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1328 - 315: The Light of This World Is Not Only Found Within Brightness
Cui Xiaofei hung his head, whispering, "You came too late. I fought him to a stalemate, and he ran over there. I’m gravely injured, and the mutant’s recovery abilities can no longer sustain my shattered body."
"Chase him! What are you all standing around for? Hurry and chase in that direction!" the liaison officer roared, urging the group of perfect mutants to chase after him. The mutants he brought were newly emerged perfect mutants.
As the liaison officer finished speaking.
A group of perfect mutants headed toward the distance.
"Red Demon, I didn’t expect you to be just like this," said Black Demon, still arrogant despite being reprimanded. He couldn’t help but want to laugh seeing Red Demon’s current appearance.
What goes around comes around, pathetic, isn’t it?
Cui Xiaofei chuckled lowly, "Yeah, in the future, it’s only you left, and I’m just a passerby in this apocalypse. Your potential is indeed strong. I hope you find your own path ahead."
Black Demon was stunned, not expecting Cui Xiaofei to say such things.
"Hmph."
Black Demon leapt toward the distance, aiming to catch Jin Poshan personally, so that everyone at the headquarters would know he, Black Demon, was the only one who could replace Red Demon’s position.
None of the other mutants were qualified.
After all the mutants left, the liaison officer frowned while looking at Cui Xiaofei. This situation was indeed beyond his foresight. He didn’t expect Cui Xiaofei to be so severely injured.
He walked to the side and took out his phone to contact the headquarters.
Reporting Cui Xiaofei’s situation truthfully.
The liaison officer waited for the headquarters’ reply, and shortly after, he received a response.
"If he’s useless, bring him back to headquarters for better use."
The liaison officer hung up the phone.
He already understood that headquarters wanted to completely abandon Cui Xiaofei. This was within his expectations, as Cui Xiaofei wasn’t very compliant with the organization, and the successful second-generation agents could cultivate more mutants like Cui Xiaofei.
So abandonment was a reasonable decision.
"I’ll take you back to headquarters," the liaison officer said.
Cui Xiaofei replied, "I knew long ago that when I failed, when I became broken beyond repair, the headquarters would recycle me."
The liaison officer said sternly, "If you knew, then why, when you encountered Jin Poshan, did you still want to fight him? You should know that you can’t afford to lose."
"I understand. I once thought about becoming a mutant to unlock my own genetic chain, to surpass a god-like Lin Fan. Meeting Jin Poshan was something I had to face. If I couldn’t even match him, how could I talk about surpassing anything?"
"You’re gambling everything you have."
"Isn’t life itself a gamble? It doesn’t matter how many times you lose, but the last one must be a win."
"Did you win?"
Cui Xiaofei gave a muffled laugh but said nothing.
The liaison officer waved his hand, instructing the people on the helicopter to carry a stretcher. However, such action was waved off by Cui Xiaofei.
"No need. I want to walk the last stretch on my own."
He stood up with difficulty, stumbled to stabilize his body, trembling legs clearly indicating he barely had the ability to move.
"Wait."
The liaison officer took out an injection and directly injected it into Cui Xiaofei’s arm.
Seeing this injection, Cui Xiaofei shook his head with a bitter smile, "Is this because you’re afraid of me?"
The liaison officer replied, "Not fear, but protocol. The inhibitor; in the next two days, you will be just a normal person, with mutant recovery abilities suppressed. Do you still want to walk on your own?"
Cui Xiaofei lifted his foot, slowly heading toward the helicopter. Each step was so difficult, and with each step, blood flowed from his pant leg, gently trickling to the ground.
The liaison officer watched his forlorn figure shaking his head with sighs, feeling profoundly desolate.
Once, he was the pinnacle symbol of the mutant headquarters.
As newer, better ones emerged.
He was merely an item that could be discarded at any time.
The liaison officer didn’t hurry, following behind Cui Xiaofei, observing the trail of blood drawn on the ground, the ruined pants revealing severely injured legs, flesh missing here and there, with visible connecting veins.
Zombies don’t feel pain.
But mutants do, and this pain would be fatal for anyone. Just the pain could drive someone insane.
Reaching the helicopter, he supported himself with the aircraft’s deck. With a crunch, the already cracked bone of his calf finally shattered, even the connected veins and flesh breaking apart.
His calf lay silently on the ground.
Supporting himself with his arms, Cui Xiaofei climbed aboard the helicopter, gazing at his severed calf on the ground, silently sitting there.
Blood dripped continuously from the wound.
Yet Cui Xiaofei remained calm.
The liaison officer picked up the calf from the ground, handed it to Cui Xiaofei, "Your leg."
"No," Cui Xiaofei shook his head. "Leave it here. Do you think the me returning to headquarters will still be whole? Leaving something here shows I once lived, which is a pretty good choice."
The liaison officer stared at Cui Xiaofei, silently nodding, placing the calf back on the ground, and then climbing aboard the helicopter.
"Let’s go, back to headquarters."
This liaison officer was sent from headquarters.
Usually, he wouldn’t come out.
There was no shortage of liaison officers roaming outside. But Jin Poshan was too important and needed immediate transportation back to headquarters, hence he personally stepped in.
Who would have thought Jin Poshan managed to escape after being critically injured, leaving Cui Xiaofei utterly crippled?
