Chapter 43

"ah--!"

The crowd screamed and fled in all directions.

Danger was imminent, Wen Xin's pupils shrank, and he pulled away the student who was still standing there in a daze.

But there was a loud "bang" and the monster that was rushing over was blocked by an invisible barrier, and its dark green saliva directly stuck to the air wall.

Everyone was shocked.

When they took a closer look, they realized that what was blocking the monster was not an air wall, but bulletproof glass.

"What's going on?"

"The monster didn't escape... so why didn't we see anything before?"

They were stunned and unable to come back to their senses when suddenly two bursts of laughter came from behind them.

Looking back, the instructor who had looked panic-stricken just now was now laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking.

Noticing that everyone was looking at him blankly, the instructor coughed lightly, stopped laughing, and patted the glass solemnly.

"You didn't see it because the mutant had already stuck to the wall below before you came. It happened to be a blind spot from our position."

"If there wasn't this layer of glass, at least a dozen people present would have died at the hands of this mutant without having time to react!"

"So, now you know how cunning these mutants are?"

Everyone: “…”

At this point, they just couldn't understand that the instructor had deliberately acted frightened to scare them.

Too sinister, even more cunning than mutants!

The instructor didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior just now. He smiled and said, "Well, everyone's performance is remarkable. At least I didn't piss myself like the other teams did."

"I would like to commend Wen Xin for staying calm in times of crisis and helping his teammates. That's great."

Wen Xin calmed himself down and calmed his pounding heart a little.

When the team members heard what the instructor said, they also looked at him with gratitude.

Although they did not actually encounter any mutant attacks.

But at the critical moment, Wen Xin subconsciously came to save him and there was no way to fake it.

Wen Xin nodded to the man as a comforting gesture, and looked back at the mutant in the prison.

The mutant was obviously hit hard by the blow just now.

After falling, it kept spinning and swaying in the same place, shaking its head, and the dark green saliva dripped onto the ground.

Sizzle, sizzle—

The floor seemed to be corroded by acid, stirring up a cloud of boiling white smoke.

The students gasped as they watched.

If this saliva were splashed on them, they would be skinned alive in an instant!

The instructor explained: "There are many types of mutants. The one you see is a mutant infected by a lizard. It weighs 70 kilograms, which is comparable to an adult Tibetan mastiff."

"After testing by our lab staff, it was found that this guy was originally a drug-free species, but a genetic mutation occurred during the infection process, and the secretions also became extremely corrosive."

"So you must remember that you cannot judge mutants' abilities based solely on their appearance and species, but you must also avoid direct contact with their body fluids as much as possible."

All the students responded in unison.

One student seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Then instructor, if even ordinary lizards can become so terrifying after being infected, won't those originally ferocious beasts become even more terrifying?"

The instructor looked serious and said, "Yes, this is the point I'm going to talk about next."

"You guys come with me."

He gestured, and the operator next to him placed his hand on the palm print lock.

There was a slight click, and the iron blades folded and closed from the left and right sides, and the prison holding the lizard mutant fell silent again.

The trainees set off and followed the instructor into the room next to the observation room.

The layout of the room is very simple, similar to the large classrooms used for open classes in general schools.

They found their seats and watched the instructor walk up to the podium and turn on the projector.

As a beam of light was projected onto the large screen, a ferocious tiger immediately appeared in front of everyone.

Not all of the students present, but at least 90% of them have faced the scene of zombies biting people, so their courage is extraordinary.

If the mutant had not pounced on them so suddenly, they would never have been scared.

Looking at the tiger in the video, the trainees remained calm.

Until the camera zooms out.

Someone's voice suddenly changed its tune: "What kind of monster is that?"

The tiger in the picture is in high spirits, like an old friend that often appears in the animal world.

But when it slowly walked onto the main road, even the van next to it was dwarfed by it.

This tiger is estimated to be at least two meters tall, which is almost as tall as a floor!

The students were instantly speechless at its unexpectedly huge size.

The source of the image is a surveillance camera fixed on the outer wall of a high-rise building.

Therefore, everyone can clearly see the smoke-filled surroundings and the convoy gathering in the distance.

The tiger was still walking slowly, as if it was strolling in the garden.

The combat troops not far away had already gotten out of the vehicle and were lined up, ready to fight.

The leading soldier gave the order: "Open fire!"

Bullets instantly rained down on the giant tiger's body.

At the same time, a grenade was thrown and an explosion occurred, with thick smoke billowing from the concrete ground.

Under such firepower coverage, even if a god came, he would be beaten into a sieve.

After a few seconds, the smoke in the picture dissipated.

"Dead, dead?"

Looking at the intact giant tiger, the trainees' hearts trembled and their eyes widened like bells.

"What the hell, you're okay with this?!"

Not only was the tiger fine, it even leisurely licked the dust off its paws.

The next second, it moved.

No one could see clearly how it moved; even the identification device on the surveillance camera flashed twice in confusion.

Everyone only knew that in the blink of an eye, the military off-road vehicle was directly overturned by the giant tiger's claws!

What followed was even more intense and intensive gunfire, roars of fear, and the screams and wails of countless people.

Limbs flew and vehicles overturned.

The giant tiger, with its muscles tufted, stood in the smoke, its scarlet mouth covered with blood and flesh opened.

A complete, one-sided massacre.

Wen Xin's brows were already tightly knitted together, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a stiff straight line.

Because he has raised a cat and has carefully understood it, he knows it clearly.

The tiger's nonchalant attitude of biting people, letting them run away, and then knocking them down is just like a cat playing with its prey.

This is not the end.

When the students were shocked by the destructive power of the giant tiger, the tiger in the picture moved again.

This time, its ferocious eyes accurately locked onto the camera outside the building.

As the camera image shook violently, a huge body pressed directly above the surveillance camera, and gravel fell down.

This big tiger was hanging vertically on the outer wall of a high-rise building so steadily!

The huge amber vertical pupils appeared in the camera, and the bloody smell in the tiger's eyes had not yet dissipated.

It stared closely at the surveillance camera and also looked straight at Wen Xin and others.

Suddenly, he licked the blood and flesh fragments at the corner of his mouth.

This lazy movement is inexplicably human, revealing an indescribable evil nature.

Then the tiger spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Humans..."

"Have you seen enough?"

Bang!

The student's face turned pale, not noticing that he had pushed over the chair: "It can talk?!"

The camera suddenly went black.

The last scene it captured was the tiger opening its bloody mouth and biting directly towards the surveillance camera.

Countless people were silent.

Or rather, they were already terrified beyond measure.

The giant tiger's leisurely questioning was like the god of death swinging a sickle at them, and their hearts seemed to stop beating for an instant.

After a long while, someone finally found his voice and spoke with a trembling voice.

"This must be fake, how can a tiger talk?"

"Can animals develop thoughts and wisdom?!"

"Wouldn't that make it a legendary monster?"

The instructor said at this time: "It is invulnerable to swords and guns, but it can speak human language. In fact, it is almost like a monster."

He was not sarcastic, but his expression was the same as that of the other students, extremely solemn and serious.

"Most mutants, like the lizard you just saw, can be contained by bulletproof glass and dungeons."

"But the monster before us is far beyond the category of a living creature."

The instructor said to everyone: "On the 12th day after the mutants appeared, the First Base released the reconnaissance and analysis data to all bases. The data showed that there was a strict classification among the mutants, tentatively divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D."

"The tiger that appeared in the surveillance is at least A-level, and above A-level there are S-level ones. Their destructive power is truly difficult to estimate!"

Thinking about the messy surroundings after being bombarded by bullets, and the big tiger that was unharmed.

People just felt suffocated.

"Can we really defeat such a monster?"

"No, don't panic, there are no heavy weapons such as tanks and missiles used in the video!"

In the heated discussion, only Wen Xin's thoughts remained on the moment when Tiger spoke.

Animals are infected, mutated, and powerful...

The most important thing is to be able to speak.

The black group are not mountain monsters, but talking mutants.

Wen Xin suddenly realized the true identities of the dumplings. He subconsciously reached into his pocket and tightly grasped the cloth bag containing the souvenirs. His breathing became unstable.

Then, he suddenly heard a student ask the instructor.

"The First Base was able to analyze S-class data. Doesn't that mean they have seen S-class? Are there any filmed records?"

The instructor nodded seriously: "Yes."

"Although the picture is not clear, after analyzing the image, it should be a snake."

snake!

This word struck Wen Xin's reflexes like lightning, and he immediately raised his voice: "What kind of snake?"

Fortunately, everyone's shocked reaction was similar to his, and the instructor did not notice Wen Xin's loss of composure.

The instructor then opened another video.

The video footage showed a dark swamp with heavy fog. The shadow of a gigantic snake could be vaguely seen, at least as thick as two adults could hug!

When Wen Xin saw the snake, he almost ran to the front of the big screen and stared at it.

He used all his rationality to sit steadily on the chair so as not to stand out so much.

The next second, the camera moved, and the students exclaimed in amazement, but Wen Xin could no longer take his eyes away.

His pupils shrank into a point, and with uncontrollable trembling, he stared closely at the shadow in the video.

Until the person filming the video bravely took another step forward, a huge black snake head appeared in the camera.

……black?

Wen Xin was stunned.

He didn't believe it and looked over carefully again. Coincidentally, the instructor also paused the video at the moment when the snake's head poked out.

Then Wen Xin saw clearly that this was not their Ah Lu.

His hopes were dashed in an instant, and an undisguised disappointment flashed across his eyes. He rubbed the cloth bag in his palm twice.

The instructor explained: "What you are seeing now is a mutant of a python. Its species is currently unknown and its danger remains to be seen."

Wen Xin came back to his senses.

He patted his cheeks vigorously, quickly focused his attention, and listened carefully to the instructor's explanation.

The student asked: "Instructor, if you are not sure about the danger, how can you be sure it is S-level?"

“Because of them.”

As he spoke, the instructor pointed to the groups of wriggling snakes outside the swamp.

Densely packed, colorful, and with all kinds of varieties.

The snake's pupils glowed with an inorganic coldness, and its fangs were sharp and long, making one's scalp explode.

These snakes all ran towards the direction where the black python was.

"According to reliable intelligence from the First Base, these S-class mutants all have one characteristic, which is that they are able to release a special biological aura."

"Any creature that smells this scent will be uncontrollably attracted to it and flock to the place where the scent is emitted, becoming the mutant's minions and being driven around at will."

"If I had to describe it in one word, it would be called a pilgrimage."

The instructor took a deep breath and said, "If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, don't worry about anything and don't think about anything."

"Run, run as hard as you can!"

"Not to mention the unknown S-class mutants, just these creatures that are everywhere in the mountains, if they go crazy, they will definitely kill you all! Did you hear that?!"

Hearing this, Wen Xin, like the other students, exclaimed in shock: "Yes!"

.

At the same time.

The black python hung half of its body on a dead tree, and twisted its body contentedly as it looked at the swarm of snakes that almost covered the entire swamp.

This time, Wang will definitely be satisfied.

Thinking of this, it swam towards where the king was, eager to tell the good news.

As it swam deeper, the terrifying pressure became more and more obvious, causing the black python to shiver uncontrollably.

When it arrived before the king, it almost buried its head in the swamp and trembled.

In the mist, a huge creature was moving. At first glance, it seemed as big as a hill, and even the swamp was not big enough to swallow half of its body.

The tiger that Wen Xin saw in the video was not even enough for it to swallow in one bite.

As it moved, the mud and water slid down without leaving any trace on the magnificent green scales.

"What is it?"

A cold and eerie voice came, suppressing extreme impatience.

The black python trembled and quickly told the story of the snakes' worship.

It thought the king would be happy about the expansion of his power, but unexpectedly he just frowned and continued to speak.

"Humans are fragile."

"Get rid of all the poisonous ones."

After saying this, the huge creature rested, its body trembling and shaking, as if it was trying hard to endure something.

The black python was at a loss.

It tries to understand what this sentence means.

Before he could figure it out, the huge creature seemed to have thought of something. It suddenly stuck its head out and said something that left no room for doubt.

"And those with pretty scales, get lost too."
