Chapter 27 Great National Treasure

Such an imposing entrance was something even Lei, the leader of the mercenary group, had rarely encountered.

Preliminary estimates suggest that this mutated beast weighs at least ten tons.

While the ferocity of a mutated beast is not necessarily proportional to its weight, its sheer weight alone is enough to easily overwhelm the fifty mercenaries he led.

Moreover, they have four experts to protect.

It wasn't that Commander Lei deliberately ignored Zuo Shan, the guide; it's just that every agricultural expert is a treasure of the entire Green Algae Star, and losing any one of them would be a crime against all of humanity.

As for Zuo Shan, she did make a contribution, but aside from her discovery of the new species, she was essentially just an ordinary scavenger in District 50.

Her death is actually insignificant; it doesn't affect anyone.

Left Fan: My temper is raging! Two lives lost!

However, she knew very well that when disaster struck, even husbands and wives would choose to go their separate ways, let alone these mercenaries who had no connection with her.

She had to find a way to protect herself.

Staying with the four experts seemed like the safest option, but when it came to a life-or-death situation, she believed that these mercenaries would definitely sacrifice her to protect the experts.

So she decided to find a chance to slip away, even if it meant running away alone, it would be safer than following the main group.

After all, if a mutated beast is going to attack, it will definitely choose the place with the most people to strike.

Once she leaves the crowd, she becomes the most inconspicuous tiny individual and will not become a target of the mutated beasts.

This is like when a person goes to an anthill, they will only stare at the ant colony and will never notice a lone ant. Even if they catch a glimpse of it sneaking away, they will not care.

With this in mind, Zuo Shan immediately made a decision: as soon as he had the chance, he would take off running!

The giant mutated beast finally appeared in everyone's sight. When Zuo Shan saw what it looked like, she almost screamed!

Good heavens! Isn't this an enlarged version of a national treasure?

With its white fur, big dark circles under its eyes, and chubby body, it looks just like the panda cub she's loved since she was a child, no matter which angle you look at it from!

However, the size of this national treasure is really too overwhelming. It looks about the same size as an African elephant, five or six meters long and three or four meters tall. Standing there, it gives people a sense of oppression like a mountain.

Even though it is so huge, it still looks adorable. Its fur is thick and black and white, creating the most beautiful colors in the world.

Before Zuo Shan could even properly appreciate the scene, he heard Commander Lei roar, "Fire!"

The fifty mercenaries were divided into two groups, one inside and one outside, while the other group remained on full alert while the other group fired.

More than twenty laser beams rushed toward the Great Treasure, and before it could even launch its attack, its vital parts were riddled with holes!

The giant treasure was clearly stunned by the sudden attack. It was just taking a stroll around the bamboo forest, so how did it suddenly get attacked?

The giant panda wasn't fatally injured; the laser beams merely scorched its fur, leaving it looking rather disheveled with dozens of dents all over its body.

It's like a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly developing dozens of pimples on her face.

The damage wasn't significant, but the insult was extremely strong, and it was thoroughly enraged!

With a roar, it leaped into the air and charged towards the mercenaries on the perimeter.

Taking advantage of the moment its body sprang up, Commander Lei fired a laser cannon at its abdomen, and in rapid succession!

The abdomen is the softest and weakest part of an animal's body. With a scream, Da Guobao fell heavily from the air and crashed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Commander Lei ordered a group of mercenaries in the inner circle to fire. This time, someone aimed at the crater that had been burned earlier and fired. The laser beam finally penetrated the tough skin of the Great Treasure, and blood flowed from its body, staining its snow-white fur red.

Seeing the horrific scene before her, Zuo Shan's eyes welled with tears. Then, a violent throbbing sensation came from her lower abdomen, and she shouted, "Danger! Run!"

With that shout, she burst out of the protective circle formed by the mercenaries and, without a second thought, sprinted towards the bamboo forest.

In her understanding, the giant panda loves to nibble on bamboo leaves, and that bamboo forest should be its territory. When the group of them went to cut bamboo before, it must have gone out to play or take a walk, which is why they didn't encounter it.

At this moment, it is fighting against a mercenary group, so the bamboo forest is actually the safest place.

Sure enough, after running only a dozen meters, she looked back and saw a terrifying scene.

Da Guobao sprang up from the ground again and, with lightning speed, flattened Commander Lei's laser cannon with a single palm strike.

Fortunately, Commander Lei was a seasoned veteran with quick reflexes. He lunged behind a thick tree trunk on his left, narrowly avoiding the aftershock of the palm strike.

However, before he could catch his breath, Da Guobao struck again, and the thick tree trunk, which the two of them couldn't wrap their arms around, snapped in two.

The cracking sound was like a death knell, shaking everyone present to their core. Zuo Shan was so frightened that his legs went weak, and for a moment he forgot to continue running.

Commander Lei was not terrified, but his speed was no match for the destructive power of this behemoth. The wind generated when the tree trunk fell to the ground threw him violently to the ground. Fortunately, he rolled a few times to avoid being smashed into a pulp on the spot.

Even in the midst of the crisis, Commander Lei didn't forget to shout: "Suicide squad, according to the plan, escort the experts and escape in four directions!"

This shout finally brought Zuo Shan back to her senses. She turned around and continued running towards her destination.

She ignored all the shouts and running sounds behind her, focusing only on running forward.

At a time like this, what else could she do but run away when she was completely helpless?

As she was running, she suddenly bumped into a wall. The pain in her forehead was secondary; what she found most unbelievable was that she was clearly watching where she was going. She swore that just half a second before, there was nothing in front of her and she hadn't seen a single shadow!

She looked up in terror and was met with a tall man. What terrified her even more was that this man had short silver hair, and his face...

Although the most memorable thing in her dream was his short silver hair, she still remembered the general outline of his facial features very clearly.

He was the man she had done those indescribable things with in her dream, no doubt about it!

Oh my god! Let a bolt of lightning strike her awake!

This is a time to escape for our lives, how can she be indulging in such daydreams regardless of the occasion?
