Chapter 138 Stumbling



After the shooting, several mutant creatures that were demolishing the house died.

The leading sea lion let out a long roar towards the sky, as if saying something, and the rest of the mutant creatures all raised their heads and roared in response.

The mutant creatures that were demolishing the house seemed to have understood, gave up on the house, and rushed towards this side.

These mutant creatures seemed to have been waiting for them here on purpose. They were very quiet before, but they all rushed out at once.

Qiao Xuejun found a good hiding place and fired a few shots. When a mutant creature came over, the soldier who was protecting her took her to another position and continued to hide.

After observing for a while, she found that this was more like a targeted attack.

The focus of those mutant creatures is these warriors.

Some mutant creatures with thick skin and flesh that are not afraid of gunfire specialize in fighting in the front row, while some mutant creatures that can spray venom hide in the back and attack from a distance.

For example, there is a sea lion about seven or eight meters long in front of each soldier.

Behind the sea lions are squids and sea snakes, which constantly spray venom towards this side. The squids even pick up stones to attack from a distance.

The situation was serious. There were only eight soldiers in the patrol team, and they had to divide their attention to protect Qiao Xuejun and Huo Antu, which made them even more stretched.

"Retreat!" Shan Falcon shouted, "Big Ape! Take Teacher Qiao and Professor Huo and retreat!"

Great Ape: "Yes!"

He directly grabbed Huo Antu's arm: "Professor Huo, run with me. Teacher Qiao..."

Qiao Xuejun took the initiative to follow: "I know, let's go."

The big ape took a look at the mountain falcon in the center of the battlefield, turned around and ran down the mountain with Qiao Xuejun and Huo Antu.

Great Ape: "Two experts, don't be afraid. After you get off the scientific research mountain, go to the pine tree mountain next to it. There is a patrol point over there. There will be a patrol booth and two comrades on duty. It is very sturdy. You will be fine if you hide in it."

There were also some mutant creatures around them, but the heavyweight ones were all on the main battlefield and not with them, so the pressure was less than before.

But there were many mutant creatures, and many followed them. Qiao Xuejun and the big ape fired intermittently, clearing a path and running down the mountain.

They ran down the mountain, and the mutant creatures following behind them also came down, rushing down the mountain road like waves, and the houses of the survivors along the way were destroyed.

Now Qiao Xuejun witnessed the destructive power of the mutant creatures. The system had said before that ordinary buildings could not withstand the attacks of mutant creatures.

The house built with ordinary iron sheets and wood was soon destroyed by the beast tide. The survivors inside stood there at a loss, with shock in their eyes.

A crab raised its large claws towards one of the survivors and was about to strangle him by the neck.

The great ape fired a shot, knocking the crab's claws off: "Run! Run!"

The four survivors finally reacted. After fighting back at a few mutant creatures that were trying to attack them, they crawled over under the cover of the Great Ape and Qiao Xuejun's firepower.

When the great ape saw the survivor's house being demolished, he shouted to the people around him, "Survivors of the Scientific Research Mountain, run! Abandon the house, abandon the house! Get down the mountain! Run! The beast tide is coming!"

The survivors who have managed to live to this day have all heard of or witnessed the horror of the beast tide. After hearing the gunshots and the roars of wild beasts, they had already been on the sidelines. When they heard the shouting of the great ape, they quickly ran out with their families.

Follow the big ape away.

There are not many survivors on Research Mountain, only about ten people in total.

The mutant creatures entangled the survivors and circled around them, trying to pounce and attack.

Except for the Great Ape and Qiao Xuejun, the other survivors also had guns and were attacking. For a while, no mutants could get close.

Qiao Xuejun looked back and saw a group of beasts, led by a sea lion, following them and chasing them relentlessly.

They would also go around the tree stumps in the forest, consciously avoiding bullets. The sea lion roared, and some mutant creatures that could attack from a distance no longer circled the survivors, but hid behind the sea lion, waiting for an opportunity to attack from a distance.

The great ape also understood: "This sea lion came with me."

There was a sea lion in front of each comrade, as if the sea lion group had issued a mission, and they had to stick to a soldier. One had to suspect that these sea lions were coming for them.

The other survivors also found it very strange and gasped, "What's going on? Is this sea lion sick? Why is it following me?"

They ran until they were almost out of breath but still couldn't shake off the giant sea lion and the mutant creatures behind it.

The big ape was fine, but Qiao Xuejun, Huo Antu and other survivors had not received any special training. Running for their lives for so long was already their limit.

The big ape thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Qiao! You guys keep running down the mountain, I'll go over there from another way!"

Qiao Xuejun turned her head to look at him, with hesitation in her eyes. She had kept her mouth shut to maintain the rhythm of her breathing and had not spoken a word. Now she asked, "Have you reported?"

Great Ape: "I've sent a message for help to the captain, but I haven't received a reply yet. Mr. Qiao, split up and keep running over there. You know that patrol booth!"

Huo Antu breathed rapidly, looked at him in disbelief and said, "What? You're not coming with us...you..."

"Professor Huo, follow Teacher Qiao, she knows the way!"

After the big ape finished speaking, without further explanation, he took his gun and parted ways with them, going in another direction.

Sure enough, the huge sea lion immediately turned around and followed the big ape.

The sea lion led most of the mutant creatures to chase the big ape, and some mutants still followed Qiao Xuejun and others.

The other survivors saw the great ape running away and were confused: "The patrolman got away? What should we do? Where to go? First Base? I've already radioed for help!"

"He left us behind! We..."

Qiao Xuejun retracted her worried look and interrupted the survivor: "Don't shout, just follow me!" She shot at the jellyfish that was flying towards her, shattering it neatly.

Huo Antu looked at the woman beside him. He didn't know who she was, but he only heard that she was an expert teacher. He knew that Zhao Xian had recruited many professionals from all walks of life, not just him.

I don’t know what industry this woman is from, but she can go out on patrol with the army and run as fast as me. I guess she is also an expert in armed fighting or physical fitness.

Pretty capable, seems reliable.

However, although the mountains in Gongzhou are not steep, they have not been developed much. The mountain roads are rugged and it is easy to get lost. He has lived in the scientific research mountain for so long and still cannot fully recognize the road, so he asked Qiao Xuejun: "Teacher, do you know the way?"

He ran desperately in the mountains, not daring to look back, like a headless fly running around in all directions.

Qiao Xuejun ran forward without looking back: "If you don't want to run with me, you can do it alone."

She was not happy with Huo Antu, and even for a moment she thought about the chances of success of tripping him with her foot.
