Chapter 363: Besieged on All Sides

Plant variants have root systems.

Although most of their energy comes from crystal cores like normal mutants, their roots can absorb a small amount of energy from the soil while maintaining their mutant form.

But the downside is that they can't move around freely.

When Ling Hua just switched forms, it was obvious that he had taken root, otherwise he would not have stayed in the same place and was unable to move.

Qiao Yu controlled the jade vine and directly uprooted Ling Shu and Ling Hua.

Ling Shu and Ling Hua had both fainted just now, completely unable to maintain their transformed forms. Now without the support of their roots, they switched back to their human forms not long after.

However, this time, the human body was not a normal person, but two people, just like their transformed forms, with a shared pair of legs in the lower body and splitting upwards from the waist.

But no matter what, their size is much smaller, which makes it easier for Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu to detain them.

Otherwise, if they continued to maintain their mutant forms, Qiao Yu would really have a headache about how to stuff them into the house.

Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan rushed all the way with Ling Shu, Ling Hua and Han Min, and soon sent the three people who were tied up by Yu Teng to Ding Baian and his family's house on No. 9 Street.

Then he ran non-stop towards the back door of the base, using the jade seed to send a signal to Yu Qingchuan.

Qiao Yu thought about it carefully.

The back door of the base is not far behind the research institute. If Han Ming wants to meet him, that is the best choice.

But Yu Qingchuan had just gone out from the back with the crystal. If he happened to meet Han Ming and was not prepared, he would probably be in trouble.

Qiao Yu's prediction was correct. As soon as Yu Qingchuan stepped out of the back door of the base with the thugs and the crystal, he ran into a group of mercenaries head-on.

"It's not Researcher Li! Catch him! He's the one who's going to steal the crystal!"

A mercenary pointed at Yu Qingchuan and suddenly shouted loudly.

Yu Qingchuan was stunned. Before he could explain, a hail of bullets broke out in front of him.

Yu Qingchuan had thought that there would be dangers at the back door, but he didn't expect that the danger lurking here was not aliens, but a large number of mercenaries.

But judging from their attire, these mercenaries don't seem to be from City G.

Unfortunately, it was too late for Yu Qingchuan to explore further. He was forced to take a few steps back, kicked his feet, and immediately switched into a transformed form, wanting to fly into the woods in the north.

But the mercenary team in front of them seemed to have been prepared. Several mercenaries broke away from the team and switched to mutant forms - they were actually several bird mutants.

Yu Qingchuan had no intention of dealing with them. He just wanted to take the crystal away from the base as quickly as possible to buy time for Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen at the gate.

But those mercenaries kept chasing Yu Qingchuan and were determined to fight an air battle with him.

At this moment, the jade seed in Yu Qingchuan's body suddenly jumped three times.

Yu Qingchuan looked a little stern.

This is a dangerous signal sent by Qiao Yu.

It was a signal for him to retreat quickly!

But if he goes back now, the base will definitely not be able to be defended...

In a flash, Yu Qingchuan made a quick decision. He gritted his teeth and did not retreat. Instead, he accelerated and flew towards the north.

Seeing this, the thug lying on his back immediately understood Yu Qingchuan's intention, and immediately set up a mental barrier to wrap the two of them tightly.

Several bird-mutant mercenaries and the mercenary team on the ground were all stunned when they saw Yu Qingchuan suddenly disappear in the air. No one noticed that behind the mercenary team, a white figure had a fiery excitement in his eyes when he looked at Yu Qingchuan who disappeared in the space.

After Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen left the research institute, they brought Wang Zha to the gate of the base.

The battle situation at this time was already very tense. Many mercenaries were infected and turned into new species after their death.

Although the legion tried its best to prevent them from entering the inner gate of the base, many alien species still sneaked in, and the defense of the base was already showing signs of collapse.

Seeing this, Cheng Sinian's face became unusually serious.

He took out a gun and a Tang sword from the space, and together with Luo Zhenzhen, under the cover of Wang Zha, he quickly joined the battle.

"Commander! We can't hold on any longer! Let's retreat!"

On the battlefield of the Northern Legion, a mercenary stood in front of Mu Guan, continuously shooting at the alien species swarming in front of him, while turning his head and shouting loudly to Mu Guan.

"No!" Mu Guan smashed the head of an alien with a punch. Upon hearing this, his eyes widened and he shouted sternly: "We are soldiers. If even we retreat, what will happen to the people behind us?!"

"Commander! As long as there is green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood!"

The mercenary continued to persuade him, but Mu Guan remained unmoved.

Mu Guan leaned forward slightly, looking at the endless stream of alien species in front of him that were still slaughtering crazily, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and quickly ran to the pickup truck behind him. With two punches, he smashed the door on the back of the truck. The crystal cores inside instantly poured out and all rolled to the ground.

Then Mu Guan pulled out two old-fashioned loudspeakers from the car, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "I am Mu Guan, commander of the Northern Military Region! Northern Legion, listen up! All vehicles equipped with crystal cores, open the doors, and recharge if you are out of energy!"

"From now on, everyone, keep every last grenade for yourselves! Even if you're going to die, take these beasts with you! No reinforcements for the aliens!"

"My Northern Military Region is full of strong men! They are all brothers who have followed me, Mu Guan, through life and death, and rolled out of the pile of corpses! Even if their heads fall off, it will only be a scar the size of a bowl. Eighteen years later, they will be brave men again! There is nothing to be afraid of!"

"All those who retreat and defect, when you meet the King of Hell, don't say you are my soldiers! I will peel off your skin even in hell! Do you understand?"

"I understand! I swear to stand with Commander Mu!"

"Yes! We swear to stand with Commander Mu!"

Even in such a critical situation, the response of the Northern Legion mercenaries still resounded through the night sky.

There were several mercenary hunting teams around that wanted to retreat, but when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a surge of blood and immediately started to kill the alien species even harder.

Yes, even if your head falls off, it will only leave a scar the size of a bowl!

The lips and teeth are interdependent. With alien species rampant outside, the base is their only safe haven.

If the base falls, even if they can escape now, where can they escape to?

Might as well take this opportunity to kill him swiftly! Even if I die, I'll take a few more aliens with me to be buried with me!

Maybe when I go down there, I can even compare with my friends who died in battle to see who killed more people!

--kill!
