The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 611, Contaminated Zone 6 (Thirty-Five)
The enormous eyeball was cast toward the fleeing armored vehicle.
Fu Mo gripped the steering wheel tightly. In the rearview mirror, countless vines surged like a tide, twisting and writhing, chasing their prey like living creatures.
You can't shake them off at all!
Suddenly, the ground ahead burst open, and a thick vine burst out of the soil and instantly wrapped around the car wheel!
The armored vehicle suddenly stopped, tilted violently, and almost overturned.
"Get out of the car!" Fu Yu shouted, and everyone quickly kicked open the car door and tumbled to the ground.
The armored vehicle's right tire was half a foot off the ground, hovering above the crack in the road. The engine emitted a wail of impending destruction before finally extinguishing completely into silence.
Ahead, countless vines sprouted from the ground, intertwining to form a three-meter-high vine wall in front of them.
The scale-like leaves on the surface of the vine wall slowly wriggled, transforming into rough brick and stone textures within seconds, blending into the surrounding ruins.
Jiang Mu, who was hanging on the vehicle, was the first to jump down.
The moment his feet touched the ground, the vines behind him suddenly burst open, carrying a strong gust of wind straight towards his face.
Jiang Mu looked up, turned and swung his sword, seemingly casual, yet carrying immense power.
Xie Tu carried the person and landed steadily beside him.
"Haven't you finished communicating yet?"
Jiang Mu looked at Yun Zhao, who was still unresponsive, and said, "Last time, we didn't get any useful information because we were interrupted."
Xie Tu hugged the person tightly, "I know."
The red-eyed man sees Yun Zhao as one of his own, and believes that if they can communicate with each other, he might be able to learn the whole truth.
That's why he didn't forcibly awaken her senses.
But it's impossible not to worry.
Even the Azure Phoenix couldn't capture that thing, so you can imagine how powerful it was.
"Get the car out first!"
Fu Qi's voice, along with the sounds of fighting, came from the other side of the car.
The sentries on the roof had already jumped down and quickly cut the vines that were tangling around the tires.
"Uncle He, don't stand so far away! These things are disgusting, we can't kill them all." Xia Mingang was also making quite a commotion.
Two groups of people stood on the left and right sides of the armored vehicle, their view blocked.
Just then, the vines in the center of the vine wall in front suddenly parted to the sides, and a figure formed from mutated vines slowly walked out.
Upon seeing the figure clearly, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Team Leader Jiang..." the sentry on the other side called out instinctively, his voice trembling.
The figure, dressed in Dawn Base combat uniforms, slowly approached them, its black combat boots making a crisp sound as they stepped on the gravel.
The strangest thing was that face.
The casual eyebrows and eyes, the habitual curve of the corners of the lips, the figure, appearance, even the two swords in the hand, and even the casual smile at the corner of the mouth are exactly the same!
"interesting."
Jiang Mu narrowed his eyes, twirling the twin blades in his palm, their cold light flashing. "Leave it to me."
The fake Jiang Mu tilted his head, a gesture that would have looked roguish on a real person, but now appeared chilling.
It slowly raised the two identical knives in its hands.
The next second, two figures suddenly sprang up!
Blades clashed, sparks flew.
The fake Jiang Mu's movements were astonishingly fast, with each move precisely replicating Jiang Mu's fighting style, even faster and more ruthless.
Jiang Mu was prepared. He slightly separated his feet, lowered his center of gravity, and drew both swords at the same time.
With a crisp clang, the four blades collided in mid-air, creating a gust of wind that made the surrounding vines rustle.
The mutants possess astonishing power.
It was actually on par with the original.
Jiang Mu took a half step back. "Can the 'Avoiding Vine' replicate its strength?"
Xie Tu was also observing the fake Jiang Mu's every move, "There's one thing he can't replicate."
"I know."
The white-haired beast was stirring in the spiritual realm.
Jiang Mu had no intention of letting the child out, and once again launched a rapid attack on the other side, thinking, "It's a rare opportunity to fight with myself; cheating is no fun."
The fake Jiang Mu used the exact same tactics as Jiang Mu, and even anticipated his change of move. With a slight slash, he aimed straight for his throat!
Jiang Mu leaned back abruptly, the blade grazing his chin.
He used the momentum to spin around, and his left leg swept across like a whip, kicking hard at the back of the opponent's knee!
The fake Jiang Mu neither dodged nor evaded, taking the kick head-on, and at the same time, he stabbed Jiang Mu in the waist and abdomen with his backhand!
"Damn it!" Jiang Mu twisted his waist sharply, the blade grazing his combat uniform and tearing the fabric.
He used the momentum to flip backward, and the moment he landed, the knife in his right hand flew out of his grasp—
"Whoosh!"
The fake Jiang Mu dodged the attack, but the flying knife embedded itself in the vines behind him.
However, Jiang Mu had already closed in, his left hand slashing upwards with a knife, aiming straight for his chin!
The fake Jiang Mu took half a step back, and the blades clashed, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
In the instant the two were locked in combat, the fake Jiang Mu suddenly changed his move, his blade spinning and pressing down hard on Jiang Mu's blade!
Jiang Mu's wrist went numb, and he almost dropped the knife.
He suddenly raised his knee and struck the opponent's wrist. The fake Jiang Mu loosened his grip, and Jiang Mu took the opportunity to draw his sword and deliver a backhand horizontal slash.
The blade sliced across the fake Jiang Mu's chest, and a foul-smelling liquid seeped out, but the wound healed almost instantly.
"Tsk, troublesome." Jiang Mu shook his numb wrist, his eyes gradually turning cold.
He leaned forward again.
As the two figures crossed paths again, the fake Jiang Mu tilted his head and suddenly spoke, his voice as gentle as a loved one's murmur.
"My sister is asking when you're going to return the White Jade Beast to her?"
Jiang Mu's movements stiffened for a moment.
In battle, even the slightest mistake can be fatal.
"Jiang Mu!" Xie Tu's expression changed slightly; it was too late to rush to his aid.
Upon hearing the commotion, Fu Yu and Xia Mingang decisively abandoned the armored vehicle and led their men to provide support.
A group of people just happened to see the fake Jiang Mu's knife fall.
Fu Qi's expression also changed.
Fortunately, Jiang Mu reacted quickly and blocked the fatal blow with his sword, but he was a fraction of a second too slow, and the tip of the sword still pierced his right shoulder.
Blood gushed out and dripped onto the blade.
Just then, the vine wall opened again.
Two figures emerged this time.
Xia Mingang turned around and saw the multicolored hair. Instead of getting angry, he said with a strange expression, "So this hair looks this ugly?"
How come he didn't notice this before?
He looks like a punk rocker; no wonder his grandfather always disliked him.
Fu Meng stared coldly at "herself" carrying the Gatling gun. "It seems the gatekeeper wants to keep us here forever."
She had barely finished speaking.
The barrier that Yun Zhao had previously created suddenly shattered, and a massive surge of dark matter rushed in, blotting out the sun. Within the black mist were not only imposter mutants, but also countless vines that were spreading rapidly.
The area around Yunzhao is the only safe place.
"Give me mine."
Xia Mingang's voice came through. Seeing that Jiang Mu had been thwarted, he immediately communicated with Bixi, "Two against one, victory is assured!"
