The almost transparent threads tightly bound HeLa cells before they even noticed them, and more threads continued to wrap around them.

The HeLa cell struggled desperately, but the more it struggled, the tighter the threads became, and the sharp threads, due to their excessive tightness, became deeply embedded in the HeLa cell's flesh.

Undeterred, it bit down on several threads and tore them apart with all its might. One by one, its teeth were severed, but several threads also began to break under the force of the tear.

"Yanling!" the captain called out softly, and the red-haired woman beside him immediately charged toward the [HeLa Cell] with a straight knife.

Clearly, she was nowhere near as fast as the captain, and the HeLa cells didn't even notice her, continuing to gnaw on the threads in an effort to break free.

The red-haired girl gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, her hair fluttering in the air, her dark eyes seeming to burst with flames.

The next moment, the blade of the straight sword burst into flames, and the fierce flames instantly enveloped the entire blade.

The red-haired girl wielded a straight sword, slashing at the HeLa cells that were controlled by the threads, accompanied by flames.

The HeLa cell, which was still biting the thread and trying to break free of its restraints, immediately shuddered upon feeling this heat.

A very unpleasant memory surged into my mind.

That was a memory it had when it became an earthworm.

At that time, because I had just eaten an earthworm, I wanted to burrow underground to find more earthworms to hunt.

Then I turned into an earthworm, but because the earthworm's skin was too fragile and delicate, the HeLa cells were almost roasted to death by the sunlight.

That was the closest HeLa cells had ever come to death, and now that burning sensation has returned.

It struggled desperately, trying to dodge the flaming blade.

Even though the filaments were embedded in the bones and the internal organs were about to spill out, the HeLa cells were still struggling.

The flaming straight sword sliced ​​through the air, forming a crescent-shaped sword beam composed of flames.

HeLa Cells' head was chopped off for the third time.

It wasn't over yet. The red-haired girl swung her knife upwards again, and another fiery sword beam slashed across its body.

After cutting the HeLa cells into three pieces, the red-haired girl was panting heavily, a bead of sweat running down her face, and the flames on the blade had diminished considerably.

"Surely this should be enough to take them down." The red-haired girl wiped the sweat from her face, looking at the three struggling fireballs with some discomfort.

"Even in this state, it's still struggling. It looks just like a monster from a movie."

The man beside him pointed the pistol at the limbs of the HeLa cell and pulled the trigger.

Bang--!

Bang--!

Bang--!

Bang--!

Four bullets accurately struck the struggling limbs of the HeLa cell, severing them.

The limbs separated from the torso and then slowly turned to ashes under the burning flames.

Without limbs, the HeLa cell, severed at the waist, could no longer move. Only the mouth of the head kept closing until it turned to ashes.

The four people, even after seeing the HeLa cells burned to ashes, were still not certain and did not take it lightly.

The red-haired girl carefully used a straight knife to turn over the ashes of the HeLa cells, then stepped forward and kicked them twice before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry! He's completely dead!" The red-haired girl waved to the three of them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what kind of mutant is this?"

I've heard of people with regenerative abilities, but I've never seen anything this abnormal in terms of both regenerative ability and vitality. The captain squatted down, picked up a pinch of ashes, and looked at them.

"Oh dear, that's not important right now. What's important is that you bandage your wound quickly!" The red-haired girl anxiously reminded the captain, looking at the shocking scar on his face. Then, she glanced at the [HeLa Cell] that had been burned to ashes with disgust and spat on it.

"Okay, got it." The captain smiled helplessly and then stood up.

"Captain, let me bandage you up. Don't trouble Xiaoxiao." The red-haired girl blushed slightly and volunteered.

"Uh... okay, it's just a small problem, not serious. Let Yanling help you handle it." The captain opened his mouth to refuse, but seeing the red-haired girl's expectant look, he swallowed his words.

"Great! Captain, I left the disinfectant and stuff in the tent, here you go!"

Seeing the red-haired girl's excited expression, the captain could only smile helplessly.

"Let's all rest for a while, and then head straight back to City C." The captain spoke slowly as the red-haired girl came out of the tent with her things.

"Ah? But it's already very late." The little girl named Xiaoxiao said timidly, then turned to look at the sun that had already set behind the mountain.

"There's no other way. When something like this happens, we have to go back to the city immediately to report to the higher-ups... Ouch—what kind of disinfectant are you holding? It hurts so much."

The red-haired girl, who was wiping his wound with a cotton swab, paused, then looked at the medicine bottle in her other hand and slowly spoke.

"Hydrogen peroxide."

"..."

The captain rubbed his forehead.

"We still have to leave eventually, so let's leave after we finish eating."

Xiao Xiao glanced at the dinner she had made on the table, a look of helplessness appearing on her little face.

"Okay, I'll go heat it up for you." With that, she jogged over.

The man who had been standing next to her looked at the small, cute figure from behind, a smile appearing on his face. Then he turned around, wanting to help the clumsy red-haired girl apply medicine to the captain.

Suddenly his pupils contracted instantly, and he immediately drew a pistol from his waist and pointed it directly at Xiao Xiao.

"Hey? Hanxuan, what are you doing...?"

Bang--!

Before the red-haired girl could finish speaking, the man pulled the trigger.

A bullet struck Xiao Xiao directly in the HeLa cell behind her, instantly piercing through the HeLa cell's outstretched hand.

But it immediately reached out its other hand and grabbed the little shoulder, its nails digging directly into the flesh.

"Ah!" Xiao Xiao screamed, but what appeared before her eyes was the [HeLa Cell] opening its bloody maw.

[HeLa Cells] took a bite out of the small, fair neck, and then tore it off with a fierce rip, leaving a bloody piece of flesh.

Blood immediately gushed out from her small neck like a spring.

At this point, the HeLa cell was reduced to a dog's head, but strangely, human-like hands grew out from the sides of the head, with unusually sharp fingernails.

Fortunately, when the four of them burned their own bodies, they didn't burn the two heads that had been cut off from the HeLa cells.

Otherwise, it would really die and wouldn't have a chance to fight back.
