Chapter 163 End of the First Crossing
"Chu Chu, I heard from Captain Chen that something happened at the Tianchi base. Are you injured?"
In just two days, Jiang Qingxue's temperament has changed visibly. She now has a sharp edge amidst her calmness. The biggest change is that she cut her long hair short, which is similar to a one-cut hairstyle, but it looks neater.
"I'm fine. The first batch has been evacuated."
Lin Chuchu was distracted while talking. She didn't go to Central Park this time, but those mutants still followed her...
She narrowed her eyes, as if realizing something, "Did you deliberately bring him here?"
[They are just called by their blood, and they are all obedient children~]
The intimate tone made the hairs on Lin Chuchu's back stand on end.
So the mutations in this world are not just genetic mutations? Could they come from another civilization?
Wouldn't it be better if we could achieve it without bloodshed?
"You should be able to make them leave, right?"
[It can’t be done unless…]
"Unless what?"
"Host, you can't do that! Its words cannot be trusted at all!"
The system interrupted it in time, allowing the two spirits that were about to touch each other to go their separate ways.
Lin Chuchu suddenly came back to her senses. She almost fell into a trap just now! Once she was led by the nose by the alien species, it was uncertain whether she could wake up afterwards.
Insidious and cunning!
Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, the voice said indifferently: [I really regret it]
Regret entered Lin Chuchu's body along with the smell, and she could neither control nor bewitch him.
If I could choose again...
Jiang Qingxue, who was standing by, suddenly shuddered, her throat tightening for no apparent reason. "I'm glad you're okay. I was quite worried."
Her feelings towards Lin Chuchu became more and more complicated. At first, she thought that she was scheming and wanted to use her brother's feelings as a bargaining chip. Unexpectedly, she had no intention of living in the Lin family at all. She never went back after moving out and had already joined the special department.
She really couldn't see through it.
"Chu Chu, let's go together later? It's been a while since we sat down and talked."
Lin Chuchu didn't show it on her face, she smiled and nodded, "Okay."
But what I was thinking in my heart was: Maybe someone will be busy soon, and it will be impossible to leave early.
In fact, special staff like her and Jiang Qingxue don’t need to stay on duty all night.
Chen Jiawen admired the pair of sisters very much. Just as he was about to answer with a smile on his face, a call came from the communicator:
"Deputy Captain Chen, I received your reply. Deputy Captain Chen, I received your reply."
"Got it. Go ahead."
"Deputy Chen, a probe has spotted several mutants. They are very close to your location. Please stay connected. Support is on the way!"
The relaxed atmosphere in the car suddenly changed.
Lin Chuchu's smile faded, and she frowned and asked, "Brother Chen, do you have a mission?"
"There are avian variants nearby."
Chen Jiawen increased the speed of the car again and again, changing directions continuously, and communicated a few words into the headset. Finally, he sneered, "It seems that they are chasing us."
Jiang Qingxue's body tensed up instantly when she heard the words "chase us". She had experienced the bloodiness and excitement of being attacked by mutants twice in these days. Those monsters seemed to have some kind of desire for her and would just pounce forward blindly.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Xiao Jiang, there's no need to apologize. This is not your fault." Chen Jiawen interrupted her and drove the car to the sparsely populated suburbs to facilitate the team's combat.
"It is precisely because you have this ability that we have been able to capture significantly more variants. This is our obligation and responsibility."
Unexpectedly, the heroine actually took the blame for her.
Lin Chuchu sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and searched the special vehicle-mounted positioning. They were in front, and there were two cars behind them three kilometers away. If they stopped at this time, it was very likely that they would be attacked before the subsequent combat team caught up.
This is a bit dangerous!
If, like last time, we achieve some common abilities with the alien species, we will inevitably fail the test again.
"System, turn on the exploration mode. I want to know their exact location."
Ignore the "self" in your mind who is equivalent to a crazy woman and keeps chattering away, and communicate directly with the system.
"Host, they are too close, they are getting faster and faster!"
Lin Chuchu immediately warned, "Brother Chen, speed up!"
Chen Jiawen stepped on the accelerator without any hesitation, increased the horsepower, and the off-road vehicle rushed out like an arrow.
The communicator then rang with the technician's analysis, asking him to speed up and expect to enter the battle in three minutes.
There were endless fields all around, with a few unlit prefabricated steel houses scattered around. The sound of brakes was particularly harsh in the silent night. Three figures quickly pushed open the door, got out of the car, and left the field.
There was a faint sense of crisis in the breeze. A cry suddenly exploded above their heads. The sharp sound made people's eardrums numb. Several black shadows swooped down from the sky, with the same target, and rushed straight towards Lin Chuchu!
As the strange laughter and system alarms rang in her head, her eyes quickly filled with bloodshot and she shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The three of them quickly moved their positions. Because they were in a hurry to push Jiang Qingxue to help her evacuate, Lin Chuchu didn't have any extra time to dodge and had to roll on the ground. The dust flew where she had just landed. With a "bang", she was shot in the head.
Even without aiming and with limited vision, the shot still hit the mutant by feel.
The howls of pain echoed through the night.
"Chu Chu, get out of the way!"
Several other huge black shadows with spread wings swooped down in mid-air, so fast that only afterimages were left. Lin Chuchu's slender body was full of explosive power, and she dodged two waves of attacks in a row. The roar of cars came from far away, and before they got close, gunshots were heard.
Injuries were unavoidable in a chaotic battlefield. Jiang Qingxue was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the flapping wings. She was helped to the side. A member of the logistics team opened the portable freezer and took out medicine to calm her down:
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."
He saw that the short-haired girl in front of him was just biting her pale lips and didn't cry out in pain. He admired her from the bottom of his heart. Except for people with abnormal pain perception, basically no one could bear the pain of being scratched by mutants.
“You’re so strong.”
Jiang Qingxue's eyes were always following the girl in the battle. Her agile posture and outstanding fighting skills were very trance-like.
Suddenly I feel that there is a big difference between them. Isn’t she afraid of death?
On the other side, Lin Chuchu had to face the danger because the danger was caused by her.
When the magazine is empty, pull out the dagger and fight in close combat with teammates.
The most difficult thing about flying mutants is that they have wings. Once they fly into the air, it is difficult to hit them with bullets alone due to their speed.
But because of Lin Chuchu's attraction, even if they fly off the ground, they will pounce back to the ground under the firepower.
Someone expressed everyone's thoughts, "Are they collectively going crazy?"
"Concentrate your fire! Concentrate your fire! They are coming down again!"
Lin Chuchu specifically cut into places like the base of the wings, the belly, and the eyes, causing the alien species in the body to become restless and to keep hissing in her ears.
The fight continued for another twenty minutes. Three of the five mutants died, and the remaining two were captured and carried into the cage half-dead, so no anesthetic was needed.
"Chu Chu, you can do it!"
Chen Jiawen came over breathlessly and gave a thumbs up to Lin Chuchu, who was covered in dust.
Lin Chuchu's hand holding the dagger was shaking, "It's better for everyone to cooperate."
"Don't be modest, you are awesome!"
After cleaning up the battlefield, on the way back she activated her ability at the urging of the system to end this time journey.
When the feeling of weightlessness came, the system reminded, "Host, you will definitely feel uncomfortable after returning, you must be careful..."
She could no longer hear the rest of the words. Time was chaotic and out of order. Lin Chuchu gradually lost herself in the disordered memory. After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard someone talking:
"Number 0512689 Lin Chuchu... arrange for her to meet her family... send her off..."
Someone carried her body to another metal bed and pushed it.
Lin Chuchu tried her best to move her lips, "Wait, wait, I..." and then she fell into darkness.
