Chapter 17



Min Zhizhou took a deep breath. The new armor fit his body perfectly. Its overly excellent performance made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He was amazed at the researchers' technology that could transform heavy armor into something so light that he could move freely as if he was just wearing a piece of clothing.

No longer wearing a heavy filter mask, the animal mask that combined practicality and aesthetics gave him a boost of morale. At that moment, he even had the illusion that he was a superhero, and behind him were innocent citizens waiting for his protection.

This city is full of powerful technology and endless hope. It has the most advanced technology in the world and scarce resources that countless mobile cities dream of. In this doomsday where there is only escape, perhaps the town behind him will be the beginning of restoring prosperity to this world.

Min Zhizhou took a deep breath. He was a mercenary, a selfish outlier who exchanged danger for money and a more comfortable life. Loyalty and dedication were useless emotions that the mercenary had long since thrown away.

But now he wants to use the knowledge he has always had to teach these citizens the power of self-protection. If possible, he does not want these children with clear eyes in this city full of hope to end up as exiled mercenaries like him.

"You are..." The Nightmare Beast seemed to have no idea who he was. After all, how could Min Zhizhou, who was hiding behind the armor, be recognized by the Nightmare Beast?

Min Zhizhou didn't say anything. He didn't want to reveal his identity. He didn't want to see his teammate who had turned into a nightmare beast taking advantage of his soft spot that his teammates cherished and preserved.

Min Zhizhou took the lightsaber in his hand, and the light of the sword illuminated his armor. His actions showed that he would not be deceived by the nightmare beast in front of him.

Humans infected by the Nightmare Beast's seeds will not lose their ability to think, and their thinking will even become clearer when their lives are rapidly consumed. They are fully aware that the fact that they are Nightmare Beasts has been exposed, and they no longer have humane melancholy smiles. The human expressions gradually disappear, leaving only a cold and dead silence.

As Min Zhizhou's former mercenary teammate, he knew clearly how mercenaries hunted Nightmare Beasts. It required the cooperation of many people to succeed, but there were five Nightmare Beasts and only one mercenary.

The Nightmare Beasts knew clearly that they had the advantage.

Min Zhizhou observed the five nightmare beasts patiently. None of the nightmare beasts were wearing the armor they were supposed to be wearing, and it was obvious that all the armor had been completely corroded.

Although the Nightmare Beasts look the same as humans now, the Nightmare Beast seeds are constantly consuming lifespans to mobilize the potential and power of the human body, including strength, speed, thinking, and ability. That is the last period of time when human potential is stimulated, and humans are at an absolute disadvantage.

The five nightmare beasts did not hold lightsabers in their hands, but long swords.

The mercenary's fighting method is to cooperate with the lightsaber and the longsword. The lightsaber is used to drive away the parasitic nightmare seeds, while the longsword is used to quickly cut up life forms after the lightsaber. The sword must be drawn closely after the lightsaber, otherwise the sword will be destroyed once it is parasitic by the seeds.

There must be no contact with the Nightmare Beast in the battle. Once there is contact, you will be defeated.

And now Min Zhizhou doesn't need the long sword at all.

The huge transformative lightsaber brought by the researchers can easily cut through the bodies of his teammates, making them unable to move!

The nightmare beasts quickly attacked Min Zhizhou with long swords in hand. They had a clear target and used the mercenary habit to specifically choose the weakest joints in the human body, also attempting to cut Min Zhizhou!

Min Zhizhou immediately distanced himself from his teammates, who had been through thick and thin with him. He was familiar with every move and habit of them, but he never thought that one day he would use his familiarity with them to kill them.

The first lesson that Min Zhizhou wants to teach the onlookers is that the most important thing when fighting against the Nightmare Beast is to keep your distance!

Even though Min Zhizhou is tall, he is extremely agile. He can land in every blind spot that the Nightmare Beast cannot reach. The Nightmare Beast moves extremely fast, but it will not approach Min Zhizhou immediately.

Nightmare beasts are aware of the dangers of lightsabers, and their instinct to avoid harm will make them leave places where lightsabers can touch them. Min Zhizhou, on the other hand, uses the lightsaber to create an invulnerable blind spot for himself.

Min Zhizhou used the huge lightsaber as a huge shield, directly blocking the range of the nightmare beast's attempted attack.

Nightmare communicates with his teammates: "Is that a lightsaber?"

"Too big to approach."

"Cut it." A nightmare beast came to the other side of Zhou at an incredibly fast speed. However, it was just a bait. The real attacker was the nightmare beast that had quietly arrived at his other side and was about to cut off his arm holding the lightsaber!

However, suddenly a huge ball of light shot out and instantly enveloped a nightmare beast.

The weapons in the laboratory are powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they are not omnipotent.

Min Zhizhou released this broken magic at the beginning to let the Nightmare Beast attack. Once it got close, the Nightmare Beast would surely die.

A nightmare beast disappeared in an instant, but Min Zhizhou tried hard to hide his sorrow under the beast armor. The lightsaber provided by the institute was too powerful, and he didn't even have time to mourn.

The remaining four nightmare beasts became even more jealous because of this failure.

The nightmare beast, which has the ability to think, consumes its life without hesitation to speed up the circulation of its body's energy. Because of the rapid circulation of life, the body inevitably undergoes changes such as tearing, and it is bound to have a bloody battle with Min Zhizhou.

Min Zhizhou took a deep breath. The second lesson was to adapt to the extremely fast speed of the Nightmare Beast.

Min Zhizhou became even more alert, his eyes had been trying to catch the fast-moving Nightmare Beast, and suddenly he found that an electronic auxiliary device he had never seen before was turned on on the eyepiece of his armor, which allowed him to clearly control the position and distance of the Nightmare Beast at this moment. He could only rely on his physical fitness and experience, but now he had powerful assistance. Min Zhizhou was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

His teammates were all powerful mercenaries and could not slack off for even a moment. The Nightmare Beast was also wary of the obvious large number of lightsabers on Min Zhizhou and did not act rashly, leading to a stalemate for a while.

Min Zhizhou suppressed his grief, but held the lightsaber in his hand firmly, without any slackness.

He is the first line of defense for the town behind him.

He would never let these nightmare beasts pass by him and go behind him!

The Nightmare Beast suddenly appeared in front of Min Zhizhou. Min Zhizhou quickly took out the lightsaber and cut the Nightmare Beast in half. However, even with half of its body left, the Nightmare Beast did not lose its ability to move. Instead, it tried to touch Min Zhizhou's armor with its hand. As long as it could touch it, the Nightmare Beast's seeds would begin to parasitize!

However, Min Zhizhou had obviously predicted the Nightmare's actions. When the second light bullet was fired, the Nightmare's body had no way to escape in the air and was directly swallowed up.

Lesson 3: Nightmare beasts sometimes give up their mobility in exchange for parasitic rights.

Min Zhizhou truly felt how great the lightsaber weapons invented by He Fang’s city were. They had multiple forms and multiple attack modes. With these advanced weapons, one could even become an army by himself!

The remaining three nightmare beasts stopped when they saw this scene. In front of Min Zhizhou, two nightmare beasts suddenly cut their own kind. Countless fine black dusts quickly emerged from the bodies of the nightmare beasts. Min Zhizhou's pupils shrank.

The seeds of the nightmare beast that had escaped from the parasitic state surrounded Min Zhizhou like a huge thick fog. Min Zhizhou widened his eyes. The seeds that had escaped from the nightmare beast kept coming towards him with the flow of air, and he had no way to fight against these pervasive seeds from all directions!

Min Zhizhou focused all his attention, but suddenly saw a nightmare beast rushing towards the police officer, which instantly distracted him. At this moment, a hand grabbed his arm.

Min Zhizhou immediately turned around and saw his former teammate giving him an extremely cruel smile. The black nightmare seeds quickly spread from where they touched.

He will be parasitized.

Min Zhizhou suddenly had such a clear idea, but even if he had to parasitize, he was determined to protect the people behind him.

Before the armor is penetrated by the parasite.

Go kill these nightmare beasts!

Min Zhizhou tried to cut the nightmare beast in front of him, but the nightmare beast, having achieved its goal, quickly distanced itself from him. Min Zhizhou ran behind him without hesitation, where the nightmare beast was trying to approach the police officers.

Hurry up...

Faster...

No resident can be parasitized!

Min Zhizhou watched the nightmare beast approach the police officer with disdainful eyes, and it even turned around and gave him a triumphant and wanton smile. Min Zhizhou felt a chill in his heart.

However, the police officers who had been watching suddenly raised their equipped lightsabers high up. A strong light flashed and the Nightmare Beast was instantly cut into several pieces that fell to the ground. Even Min Zhizhou could not see clearly what happened.

The explosive nightmare seeds quickly rose from the dead life form and directly enveloped a police officer. Min Zhizhou's heart instantly turned cold.

"Everyone stay away from him!" Min Zhizhou took out a lightsaber and rushed forward quickly, intending to cut the police officer.

At this moment, the policeman suddenly sneezed loudly.

"It's killing me. It sprayed all over my nose." The police officer suddenly spoke. Min Zhizhou stopped moving suddenly and was shocked. He saw the police officer holding the lightsaber patted his clothes in disgust, and countless black dusts were all shaken off. "What nightmare beast seeds? It's just dust. It's all over me. My police uniform was just washed yesterday."

Min Zhizhou looked at the police officers in shock. Once the nightmare beast seeds parasitized the human body, they would quickly enter the human cells. How could they float on the surface and allow them to see it so clearly and even be slapped down?

"Stay away from me. The Creator might come to praise us soon. Don't make us dirty. Getting dirty is a small matter, but losing face in front of the Creator is a big deal." The police officer next to him quickly distanced himself from the police officer covered in nightmare seeds.

The police officer patted his clothes with a look of disgust: "You are disgusting, but I am not disgusted. A dead body suddenly sprayed ashes and I didn't have time to react."

Min Zhizhou's face was full of confusion and he doubted the world.

But he still raised his lightsaber to the police: "He may have turned into a nightmare. Don't be careless."

"Nightmare beast, nightmare beast, what the hell is a nightmare beast?" The police officer who was covered in dust was extremely annoyed. "You have been fighting for a long time, but you didn't realize that the nightmare beast seeds didn't parasitize the grass on the ground at all? The nightmare beasts are exaggerated to be powerful, making us feel like we are facing a formidable enemy. These are just some strange dust spreaders."

"Don't say that. The Environmental Protection Bureau has regulations that prohibit the bringing of non-urban soil into the city at will. Have you forgotten?" another police officer reminded.

"Yes, I will go to the river nearby to take a bath before going into the city."

"Just wash yourself and go back by yourself. Your home is not far from here anyway."

Min Zhizhou was dumbfounded. Looking at the relaxed postures of the police officers in front of him, he couldn't help but say again: "The seeds of the nightmare beast will quickly parasitize the human body. Because they are too small, you can't see them even if they are parasitized..."

"You're still parasitic. Don't you look at yourself?" the police officer suddenly said.

Look at yourself?

Min Zhizhou lowered his head with a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly saw the armor that was supposed to be parasitized. The deadly nightmare seeds were sliding down the surface of the armor little by little into the grass, finally revealing the smooth surface of the armor.

From beginning to end, these nightmare seeds seemed to have lost their parasitic ability and turned into completely useless dust.

Min Zhizhou: “……?”
