Chapter 453: Fishing in Troubled Waters

I struggled for a moment, if I forcibly broke the protective net immediately, the guards would treat me as an accomplice to the black-clad driver, and all kinds of attacks would come at me.

But if I wait for the black-clad driver to break this second level, in case he fails...... When all the guards he led away returned, I would have to deal with dozens of guards and a sturdy protective net, and more space bullets.

Just as I was hesitating, an electric car came speeding up and slowed down before the checkpoint was near, and the car almost hit the safety net.

The people in the car were wearing guards' uniforms, their faces were flushed, they coughed twice from time to time, and they looked as if they couldn't open their eyes.

The guard parked the car in front of the barricade, and I knew that the opportunity had come, so he pulled Cao Baoyang and climbed into the back seat of the car.

The guards at the checkpoint obviously knew this person, and opened their mouths to call out his name, but they still asked him to show his ID according to the regulations, and after confirming the authenticity of the ID, he checked the car again, and found nothing wrong, so he let him go.

Cao Baoyang and I didn't get much attention, and we followed the guards on electric vehicles to get into the second level.

However, as soon as the guard rode the car out of the sentry's line of sight, he suddenly lost his balance, and the electric car lost control and rushed down the slope on the side of the road, crashing into a large tree.

The guards planted on the ground in advance and didn't hit the tree together, and Cao Baoyang and I were also thrown out and landed in the soft snow when we were going downhill.

I had just heard this man tell the other guards that he had a cold and a fever, so his captain allowed him to go back to the camp to see a doctor.

Who knew that he would be in a daze halfway through, there was no one in this place, Cao Baoyang and I turned back to the way we were, and I walked back to the highway and checked the guard's condition.

The man had only a slight bruise, which was not a big problem, but his body temperature was frighteningly high, and his whole face looked like a boiled shrimp.

But I soon found out that he was not an ordinary cold and fever, and that there was something moving under his skin.

I asked Cao Baoyang to hide behind me, and used the black cloud tentacle to draw the dagger on the guard, his space gun should have been left at the post.

With only a dagger and an electric baton, I gently slashed the back of his hand with the dagger, and the blood from the wound dripped on the road.

The road was cleared, the ground was free of snow and dead leaves, the blood dripping on the ground was clearly visible, and there was nothing unusual.

There was nothing unusual in the wound on the back of his hand, and I looked closely at his hand and saw that something was still squirming under his skin.

This time I finally saw that it was his own flesh that was moving, not any other creature in his body.

If I were to describe this man's condition, I would say that he was mutating, and that a high fever was most likely an antagonistic reaction to the mutation process.

But the third wave of mutation has long passed, and what is the reason for his mutation?

I hope this man survives, and as long as he lives, we can take his ride into the heart of the new capital, but I don't know how to help him.

I learned how to physically cool him down, put him in the snow and wrapped a snowball in a black cloud and put it on his forehead.

The man was already burned unconscious, with a groan of pain coming out of his mouth, and the snowball was not working well, always melting quickly on his hot forehead.

I was just about to come back in search of some ice when the man jerked and then swallowed.

He should not have much time from the onset of his illness to his death, and if he was seriously ill during the day, it would not be possible for him to come to this shift at night.

I reckon it would have been no more than six hours since he felt unwell and died.

Maybe it's food poisoning, maybe it's a new flu virus?

Other than that, I can't think of any other possibility, and the guards are unlikely to be able to make experiments, they have to be out on duty every day, and the experimenters need to stay in the lab to record data changes at all times, so that they can be easily observed by researchers.

Is there a fourth wave of mutation?

But so far I've only seen him as an infected person, and this evidence is not enough to prove that there is a large-scale wave of mutations.

"He's dead?" Cao Baoyang poked half of his head out of my back and asked.

"Hmm... Heβ€”"I would have liked to affirm this man's death in milder terms, like 'he went to another world,' as I did when I spoke of his sister."

But the person on the ground suddenly sat up, and I subconsciously silenced, and I saw that at the same time as the person sat up, one mouth was also opened to the limit, and with the sound of clicking bones and twisting, the person's mouth suddenly turned into an oval-shaped black hole, and it was more than enough to stuff a fist into it.

A stream of black mucus erupted from his mouth, but his eyes were still closed, and his exposed skin quickly formed black and green spots.

This time it was a bit sudden, but fortunately, I used a black cloud to protect me in front of me when I was dressing a snowball for him, and I didn't touch him directly, because I was afraid that he was carrying some unknown virus.

He sat up suddenly, turned sideways and stretched out his arm to grab at my face, but there was a black cloud shield in the way, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, his body was bound by the black cloud.

He is neither a human nor a zombie now, because he is just reaching out to me and not moving his mouth to bite me.

He looked like a dead corpse with serious violent tendencies, Cao Baoyang grabbed my clothes, obviously he was also startled by this person, and he was very nervous at the moment.

But he didn't scream or run away, and warned me to be careful, and I wrung the neck of the violent corpse, but he was still alive, hanging his head to break free from my grip.

It is said that I should not let Cao Baoyang see such a bloody and violent scene, but I have to be ruthless to let him witness all this, no one can say what will happen in the future, in case he loses our protection one day, he must face this terrible world alone, he can't close his eyes, he must keep his eyes open and look at the enemy, in order to overcome fear and threats.

"Don't be afraid, he's dead."

"I'm not afraid, I'm going to help you fight the bad corpse." After Cao Baoyang finished speaking, he picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it on the guard's head.

Of course, this weak attack can't hurt a violent corpse, and it's even a little funny, but Cao Baoyang's courage is definitely worthy of my praise.

"Our baby is the bravest, optimistic, to find his weakness to start." I dismantled the corpse in front of me three times and divided it by two, looking for his weakness, this corpse is different from zombies, and the cervical vertebrae are not his weakness.

It wasn't until the black cloud pierced his heart that the moving corpse stopped, turning into a real corpse.

"Remember, hit the head first, then the heart, and if that doesn't work, try the other parts."

Cao Baoyang nodded heavily and looked at the corpse again, as if he wanted to note the correct position of the heart.

The guard is dead, and our hitchhiker naturally can't be hit, and there is no point in continuing to stay here, I picked up Cao Baoyang and planned to take a step at a time.

However, it was destined to be an unquiet night, when the earth suddenly shook, and three loud explosions were heard in the distance.

Originally, we could only hear the sound of the helicopter propeller turning, but now we saw three fireballs falling in the sky, and the sound of the propellers disappeared with the explosion.

Not only that, but the forest behind us was engulfed in flames and ice, and the heat and cold seemed to be chasing something, heading straight for us.

Between the lightning and the fire, before I had time to teleport with Cao Baoyang, I saw a person rushing out of the iceberg of the sea of fire, like a surfer, deftly avoiding the surging waves.

This man is still wearing a motorcycle helmet, so it's easy to recognize, and although he uses a wood-based ability, he is calm when facing a fire-type ability.

The tongue of fire came close to licking him every time, and he used the rollercoaster-style wooden bridge and wooden scooter to play a dodge battle with the fire and ice waves behind him.

At the end of the day, it's still the guard's ability level that is low, and if you change to a Tier A ability, the entire forest will be frozen in an instant, or if you encounter a furnace-type fire ability like Zheng Chao, this person will now be carbon slag.

However, it is precisely because the two sides are evenly matched that this chase is particularly tense and exciting, with wooden scooters rowing in various arcs to avoid the pursuit from behind.

Behind the pursuers, it seems that there is a new battle, and the gorgeous abilities collide with each other, like festive fireworks, but unfortunately from my position, I can only see the tip of the iceberg.

But this at least shows that behind the black-clad driver, there are still people and guards engaged in a fierce battle, and I think it may be that the black-clad driver's companions have arrived.

His role is that of the vanguard, responsible for attracting firepower from each level and tearing the defenses of the new capital apart, and the people who break in later should be the main force.

Is there a third level ahead? Thinking of this possibility, I shortened the distance of teleportation a bit, and although I still stayed in front of the black-clad pilot when I landed, the distance between me and him was about 100 meters.

At this time, several planes flew in the sky not far away, this time not helicopters, but fighter jets.

Could it be that the people of Xindu want to blow up their camp?

As soon as I had such a question, the fighter jet dropped a missile on the ground, and if it hit it, it would be terrible, so I hurriedly thickened the black cloud shield and wrapped me and Cao Baoyang tightly.

However, the expected explosion did not happen, and the missile did not even splash a spark, but the sound of the ability confrontation became weaker.

The brain waves within a two-kilometer radius suddenly decreased, and the missing brain waves were all in the direction behind us.

It is impossible for a fighter to hurt his own people, and those who are eliminated are probably intruders, and for me, the more chaotic the new capital tonight, the better, and if the intruders are eliminated, how can I fish in troubled waters.

Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, and immediately launched a mental power to attack the brainwaves of the guards and pilots.

The fighter tumbled and fell from the air, and the rear suddenly fell silent, and the black-clad pilot couldn't help but look back in the direction where the fighter fell.

Then he retracted his gaze and looked around, I didn't expect him to notice someone making a secret move so quickly, but Cao Baoyang and I were hiding in the dark forest, and there were black clouds as a disguise, it was difficult for him to detect us.
