Jiang Xun didn't take any action along the way. While Lulu was moving the car, the others were picking up some miscellaneous obstacles nearby. Once they encountered a mutant, they would immediately surround them and deal with them.
Thanks to the fact that there are few people on the highway, it is almost impossible to encounter mutants. Even if you do encounter them, there will only be one or two. It is not too dangerous and can help to exercise your abilities.
It was not until the sun set and the sky began to darken that Jiang Mi was about to go back, but he did not expect that another mutant would crawl up from under the highway.
Fang Bo was about to go over and solve the mutant, but unexpectedly Lulu asked eagerly: "Sister Miao, can I try?"
Miao Xi subconsciously looked at Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi took a look at the deformed creature. He was not very tall, about 1.7 meters. His body was skinny and green, his fingers were severely deformed, and even part of his head was sunken. His facial features were completely displaced, and there were a few yellow-green hairs vaguely attached to his scalp. He looked as uglier as possible.
"It's not fast, nor is it very strong. Let Lulu practice." Jiang Mi nodded and turned to look at Lulu. "Are you sure?"
Lulu smacked her lips, also a little hesitant.
It seemed that it was quite easy for Fang Bo and his men to kill the mutants along the way, almost one per sword, so she thought it shouldn't be a big problem.
In fact, Miao Xi also encouraged Lulu's idea in his heart. After all, in this end times, no one can protect another person for a lifetime. Only improving one's own strength is the safest and most reliable way.
"Go without worry, we are all watching you. But be careful. Even if you won't be contaminated now, it will be very painful if you get hurt." Miao Xi touched her head and warned her.
After hearing her words, Lulu's nervous expression relaxed a little. Although her heart was still pounding, she felt more confident and was not so nervous anymore.
"Go ahead." Jiang Mi said softly with a smile.
While they were talking, the mutant had already climbed up from the high-speed slope and was staggering towards the few people, roaring from time to time.
Lulu took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and walked towards the mutant with her slender legs step by step under the encouraging gazes of everyone.
She stopped when she was three or four steps away from the mutant, and when the mutant was two steps away from her, she mustered up her courage and took a horse stance. She closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and punched out with all her strength. The huge force flowed through her fist and hit the mutant's abdomen, instantly knocking the mutant four or five meters away, and falling down the slope beside the highway.
After Lulu threw the punch, she froze in place for a moment. After a long while, she dared to open her eyes a little and glanced in front of her. When she found that the mutant shadow was gone, her eyes suddenly widened. After turning around and not seeing it, she jumped and screamed excitedly, "Yeah! I killed the monster!"
Miao Xi was standing just a few steps away from her, right next to the highway, and saw with her own eyes the mutant who had been knocked flying, lying at the bottom of the slope, and now struggling to stand up.
"The mutant is not dead." She couldn't help but remind Lulu when she saw her excited look.
Lulu screamed, ran to her side with a confused look on her face, and looked down in the direction she was looking. Sure enough, she saw the mutant climbing up, and it seemed that the punch just now did not cause much damage to it.
"It has enough power, but lacks lethality." Jiang Mi commented.
Lulu pouted her lips. She was a little frustrated by her first show. She said discouragedly, "What should I do?"
Jiang Mi said softly, "You are still young and short, so you can't hit the fatal point on the mutant's head. These creatures are very tenacious. Even if they lose arms and legs, it won't affect their lives. Even if half of their internal organs are shattered, they can still live for a while. Therefore, you must ensure that you are steady, accurate and ruthless."
Lulu scratched her head in distress, "Do I have to wait until I grow taller?"
Miao Xi thought for a moment and handed her the Miao Dao beside him, "Try this?"
The entire length of her Miao Dao was 1.6 meters, and when standing up, it was nearly 30 centimeters taller than Lulu. It was actually not even as tall as a sword.
"The dagger is too short. It's hard for you to hit the mutant's head even if you jump. Using a gun can solve the problem quickly, but it won't help you improve your strength. Although this Miao Dao is a bit too long for you, you can still use it."
Lulu grasped the knife handle with both hands, imitating Miao Xi's way of using it. Her two small hands barely covered it, and it was easy for her to lift it up and chop. However, the only problem was that she couldn't exert force from the bottom up. She could only lift it high and chop down or chop horizontally.
The others stepped back a few steps to leave a large space for Lulu to adapt to the power and use of the Miao Dao.
"Lulu, pay attention. To kill a mutant, aim at its neck or head. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also cut the mutant in half vertically." Miao Xi instructed, "Make sure the mutant is dead, otherwise it is very likely to attack you by surprise. This is the experience gained by our predecessors with blood."
Lulu nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the mutant who had climbed up again.
She held the Miao Dao, with most of the blade tilted and hanging on the ground. Her legs were slightly apart, and her eyes were fixed on the deformed creature that was staggering towards her.
When they got closer, everyone saw that the mutant's abdomen had completely collapsed inward. Although it was not pierced through by the punch, the lacerations still filled its entire abdomen with sticky black-green blood, which dripped as it walked.
"It should be a newly transformed mutant. It moves slowly, has a dull sense of pain, and has almost no intelligence. It acts entirely on instinct, but it is very strong and has very tenacious vitality." Jiang Mi squinted his eyes and whispered.
Miao Xi nodded. "This is a first-order mutant species. There are huge numbers of them, just like cockroaches. One or two of them are not a big threat, but when there are too many of them, they are very dangerous."
Although the major survivor bases are still in the making and some places have already taken shape, there is still no clear definition of the division of strength between psychics and mutants. The methods of distinction in various places are not unified, and the first and second levels are also distinguished by Jiang Mi.
"It will be more than a month before the apocalypse officially begins half a year ago. By then, capable survivors will begin to set up survivor bases. You have to hurry up in City R. If my brother and I find Xing Shaoan, we will rush back as soon as possible." Jiang Mi whispered.
When Miao Xi heard her say this, his expression became a little serious, and he nodded silently to show that he understood.
While the two were talking, the mutant had already approached, roaring as it approached Lulu.
Lulu took a deep breath, gripped the Miao Dao tightly, and when the mutant was four or five steps away from her, she aimed at its head, raised the Miao Dao high and chopped down with force. In an instant, the Miao Dao cut the mutant in half like cutting tofu.
Thanks to the length of the Miao Dao, even if Lulu raised it, she could easily hit the mutant's head.
As the heavy object fell to the ground, Lulu breathed heavily, her face turned pale, and her hand holding the Miao Dao was trembling. (End of this chapter)
