Chapter 29: The Hope for the Future of China, Academician Chen



Xia Mu and Xu Xin rode their motorcycles and left the town.

Just now, Acai was caught by the survivors in the town and tied to a wooden stake with a hemp rope.

No matter how he explained, the villagers always believed that he couldn't help but drink up the two bottles of water that should have belonged to everyone.

However, Xia Mu did not feel the slightest bit of guilt and publicly admitted what Acai had done.

It is conceivable that what awaits Acai is not only the covetousness of the dark creatures, but also the endless anger of his fellow villagers.

This ending is really cruel enough.

After getting in the car, Xia Mu and the others felt the changes brought about by the tank upgrade.

This time, they finally don’t have to stick to wearing the same helmet.

After the single-soldier motorcycle is upgraded to a two-seat motorcycle, not only is an additional seat added, but a motorcycle helmet is also added.

Now they each wear a helmet, and safety is greatly improved.

Both helmets have synchronized radars, and the real-time images scanned can be received by two people at the same time.

In particular, Edith, the primary artificial intelligence, seems to have changed as the vehicle is upgraded.

Inside the motorcycle helmet, data streams flashed clearly around the field of vision. Here, real-time information on weather, topography, altitude, and other information within a one-kilometer range was displayed.

Secondly, after the radar upgrade, the original radar interface used different colored dots to represent the surrounding creature information, but now all of them are replaced with small icons. Each icon shows the probability of a different creature, greatly improving the completeness of the detection function.

In addition to the radar, the double-barreled machine gun has also been upgraded. The muzzle has become longer and larger, and the bullet has changed from the length of the little finger to the size of the middle finger.

Especially the super power mode obtained after upgrading, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the two-seater motorcycle.

[Super Power Mode: The Dual Crown Machine Gun will fire bullets forward at a rate of 50 rounds per second. In Super Power Mode, the bullet's penetration is enhanced. However, fuel consumption will also double, so please use with caution.]

The double-barreled machine gun in super power mode will turn into a real meat grinder. No matter how many zombies there are, they will no longer pose a threat here.

In addition, the entire chariot was almost a circle larger, making it much more spacious for two people to sit in, and the shock absorption was also greatly improved. Even when driving on this bumpy mountain road, there was no feeling of too much bumps.

Although Xu Xin was surprised by the changes in the chariot, as she had said before, she still did not take the initiative to ask.

In her mind, Xia Mu has become more and more mysterious.

Not long after, they arrived at the halfway point of the mountain, and an isolated manor appeared in their sight.

From a distance, they could see what was happening in the manor on the radar.

A red skull-like symbol was moving back and forth across the manor, while the dozen or so yellow human-shaped symbols were decreasing in number as time went by.

"Xia Mu, these people seem to be being slaughtered by dark creatures!"

"Well, don't make any noise, we'll go over quietly."

After the two men finished their discussion, they quietly drove their motorcycles to the gate of the manor.

This manor had been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds and in a state of disrepair. On top of the manor building, a large group of Chinese soldiers, armed with live ammunition, formed a tight circle, protecting an elderly man wearing glasses and holding documents.

Bang bang bang!

Flames everywhere!

Chinese soldiers in red military uniforms were firing in a certain direction deep inside the manor.

But every time a black shadow flashed by, a Chinese soldier was dismembered and blood spurted out.

"Ah! Kuroko!"

"Shoot, shoot, shoot, kill, kill, kill!"

"Remain calm, maintain formation, and protect Academician Chen!"

""

Amidst the noise, soldiers were dismembered one by one, and the encirclement protecting Academician Chen became smaller and smaller.

"No, Captain, this isn't going to work! Reinforcements won't arrive for another thirty minutes, and we simply can't hold out that long!"

"Soldier, take your men and protect Academician Chen and leave first. The rest of you, maintain your formation and cover the retreat of the third squad!"

"clear!"

A five-man team, protecting Academician Chen tightly, retreated downstairs. Meanwhile, the other Chinese soldiers formed two-by-two teams, forming a human wall that completely blocked off a passage deep within the manor from the door leading downstairs.

Xia Mu looked at the situation in the distance, and the task prompt information echoed in his mind.

【Random Mission: Hope for Humanity’s Future】

[Mission Requirements: Rescue Chen Daobin, a member of the School of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and kill the alien]

Difficulty level: ☆☆☆

[Quest Reward: 300 Dark Points, 200 Chinese Reputation]

[Failure Penalty: None]

【Time limit: 1 hour】

The old man wearing glasses and looking unremarkable turned out to be an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Why did these people come here? What were they looking for?

Xia Mu had a lot of questions.

But whether for the sake of dark points or for the future hope of the Chinese people, he intends to take action to rescue this academician of biology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It just so happened that he wanted to take this opportunity to try out the modified two-seater motorcycle to see how powerful it was.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The engine roars.

The two-seater motorcycle aimed at the manor and sped away

Chen Daobin had already given up hope. Having lived so long, he had long since disregarded life and death. The only regret was that just as his research on the dark creatures was about to reach a new level, he was about to be killed by them.

After his death, it is completely unknown whether his disciples can take over his responsibility and complete this research for him.

"Don't protect me anymore, just run away."

"Academician, it is our mission to protect your safe return to Suzaku City! Don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission!"

Chen Daobin looked at these young people and felt extremely sad.

Just at this moment, a black shadow flashed by, and a Chinese soldier next to him was instantly split into two halves.

Red, white, and a fishy smell mixed with warm internal organs all spilled onto Academician Chen's body.

"Be careful, protect the academician!"

"ah!"

Amidst screams, a young soldier who looked to be in his early twenties had his upper and lower body separated at the same time, while the soldiers around him did not even see the shadow of the monster.

"I'm going to fight you!"

The leader of the team could no longer bear it and raised his gun and shot everywhere like a madman.

whoosh!

A dark shadow passed by and the gunfire stopped abruptly.

But the black shadow did not slow down and continued to pounce towards Chen Daobin!
