Chapter 141 The Bizarre Mutant

A soft "bang" sounded.

The surrounding breeze was so gentle that it was almost imperceptible.

Only in the center of the lake, a tiny ripple slowly spread out, breaking the stillness of the water.

The rabbit stared intently at the lake, its eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

Her king, the chameleon, lay on the sniper rifle, his eyes constantly darting around, observing the surrounding movements.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for a reaction to occur at the bottom of the lake.

However, a few minutes passed.

Apart from the gradually dissipating ripples, there was no other unusual movement on the lake surface.

"Have all those things come ashore?" Duan Xi asked, his eyes fixed on the water.

The rabbit couldn't help but retort, "Isn't that obvious?"

Yun Zhao lowered his eyes, his gaze unconsciously focusing on the two people's tightly clasped hands.

I don't know when it happened, but our fingers were intertwined.

The man's palms were constantly sweating, and the slightly damp touch made her feel sticky and uncomfortable.

She frowned slightly, trying to withdraw her hand discreetly.

Xie Tu sensed something, pursed his thin lips, and finally let go of her hand.

Once freed, Yun Zhao spoke softly, "I'll give it a try."

Tiny specks of turquoise fluorescence appeared and flew towards the lake.

Some of the fluorescence slowly descended, landing on the lake surface and gradually seeping into the lake bottom, silently merging into the lake water.

The little bluebird suddenly jumped onto her head in a fit of rage.

I'm dirty!

It hates the taste of the bottom of the water.

It was murky, dark, and filled with the stench of decay and the omnipresent darkness.

Yun Zhao also felt unwell and quickly withdrew his mental energy.

She turned to the crowd and said, "There's nothing at the bottom of the lake."

The danger has temporarily subsided.

Hearing her say that, Xie Tu focused his attention on the marks by the lake.

Song Liang squatted down to examine the marks on the ground. The watermarks varied in depth, proving that there was more than one mutant.

There was sticky residue in the grass, which seemed to be a film of water from some kind of animal.

Most aquatic organisms have a water film covering their skin.

Like fish, their surfaces are usually covered with a layer of mucus, which reduces resistance when swimming in water.

Song Liang didn't reach out to touch it. After observing it for a moment, he turned his head and said, "It's impossible for a large marine creature to be kept in a residential area. Could it be a fish-shaped mutant?"

In the old days, the quality of life was very high, and many residential areas with good environments had people who liked to keep ornamental fish.

"Who knows?"

Duan Xi complained, "It's sticky and disgusting to look at."

Xie Tu released all his senses, and the faint rustling sounds in the house reached his ears.

"Duan Xi, get to work."

Duan Xi obediently released the peregrine falcon.

The peregrine falcon flew low for a circle, then suddenly rose to a higher altitude, overlooking a residential area.

The entire neighborhood was shrouded in a swirling gray fog, and nothing could be seen outside the fog.

After surveying the outside of the neighborhood, the peregrine falcon flew to the window of a high-rise building and perched on it, peering into the building.

Seemingly having discovered something, it stared with eyes as big as copper bells and flew to the window directly opposite the stairwell, where it perched.

Duan Xi raised his gun in a flash. "Found a mutant, probably level seven."

As he finished speaking...

The entire scene, which had been sluggish, was finally brought to life.

A cacophony of sounds erupted.

Noises could be heard coming from some of the rooms, and even the sound of a television could be heard.

Xie Tu made a decisive decision: "Let's go take a look."

Whether it's finding the key or locating the salt lake search team, the immediate threat must be addressed first.

It's just a mutant; they can handle it.

Song Liang and Tao Haohao dragged the supplies to cover the rear.

Yun Zhao consciously followed Xie Tu to the side, and they arrived at the apartment building that the peregrine falcon had been looking at earlier.

Duan Xi walked in front and said quickly, "It's in the corridor on the sixth floor, outside the elevator."

As we got closer to the building, the sound from the television became increasingly clear.

Just as everyone was about to enter, they suddenly stopped in their tracks and looked up warily.

Yun Zhao was a beat too slow and was stopped by the man's arm.

She subconsciously looked up, following everyone's gaze.

A head was seen sticking out of a sixth-floor window.

It was a mutated creature emanating black energy.

Its entire body resembled a frog lying on the glass, its eyeballs bulging out as if about to pop out of their sockets, its skin wrinkled from being soaked in water, and covered with a strange film of water.

A translucent film of mucus was dripping down along with the dark matter.

Get out of the way!

Xie Tu put his arm around Yun Zhao's waist and quickly backed away while holding her.

Others also managed to get out of the way in time.

Where everyone had just been standing, the slime dripped down, making a 'sizzling' corrosive sound.

The mutant finally saw the food. Its pupils instantly turned into vertical slits, and its expression became extremely excited. "Water...give me water!"

It jumped from the sixth floor, landing with a dull thud.

The rabbit reacted quickly, pulling the trigger almost the instant the mutant landed.

The sniper rifle was aimed at the mutant's deadly head.

Based on past experience, one shot is all it takes to kill the mutant.

But then something strange happened!

As the bullet approached the mutant, a faint ripple appeared around it, as if the bullet had struck a void before disappearing without a trace.

The mutant was completely unharmed.

The rabbit, realizing what was happening, swore, "Damn it! What the hell is that?!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

The bullets disappeared?!

Before it could think, the mutant, after landing, lay on the ground like a frog, sticking out its tongue and attacking the rabbit.

Its tongue is extremely long, with a forked tip.

The rabbit quickly retreated, but the tongue that the mutant had extended was blocked by the sharp talons of a peregrine falcon that had flown in from nowhere.

"Put your guns away!"

Xie Tu immediately drew his Tang sword, his face not looking too good, but his voice remained calm and powerful.

At his command, the team members responded quickly, putting their guns into their backpacks and drawing their own melee weapons.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

The little bluebird tilted its head indifferently, watching the commotion.

Seeing this, the mutant seemed even more excited. It pushed off the ground with its hind legs and leaped up like a spring, rushing straight at the rabbit.

The forked tongue drew an eerie arc in the air, accompanied by a chilling whistling sound.

The rabbit was agile; with a side somersault, it narrowly avoided a fatal blow.

This mutant seemed to have its sights set on the rabbit.

They attacked only her.

Duan Xi drew his sword and entered the battlefield, blocking the rabbit. He dodged to the side and slashed the mutant's body.

However, this cut only left a shallow mark on the mutant's body and could not cause it any real damage.

Duan Xi shouted, "What's going on with this thing? Even a level 10 mutant couldn't be like this!"

Tao Haohao and Song Liang were guarding the supplies, preparing to go forward and help.

Xie Tu turned around: "Stay here and don't move."

Tao Haohao scratched his head.

It's unclear whether the captain was referring to Yun Zhao or to the two of them.

Yun Zhao glanced at him, then silently raised his hand, sending countless green fluorescent rays hurtling towards the mutant.

She didn't intervene just now because she wanted to see what was going on.

Twenty-four scenes from different time periods, a chaotic landscape filled with fragments...

Is it possible for chaotic scenarios to be related to all other scenarios?

The bullet... went to the land of chaos?

Was it because the bullet's speed exceeded the rules?

Or is it caused by different flow rates over time?

The images from her dream flashed through her mind again.

As Yun Zhao made his move, the invulnerable mutant was quickly controlled by the mental threads. Its vertical pupils became dull, and it lay motionless on the ground.

The rabbit, panting, asked, "What happened?"
