About twenty minutes later.
Finally, they found Gao Ya and Shen Qing in the ruins on the west side of the inner city.
But the scene before him made Xiao Jin frown.
Gao Ya was wielding a giant sword, locked in fierce combat with a massive mutated chimpanzee. The chimpanzee was four meters tall, with bulging muscles and arms as hard as steel; each slam of its sword left a deep crater in the ground.
Shen Qing knelt not far away.
His face was pale, his clothes were covered in blood, his clothes on his calves were gone, and although the wounds had healed, there was still new flesh on his skin.
The clear black and white lines above indicate that it is a newly grown limb.
Xiao Jin was slightly surprised. Who could have injured Shen Qing to such an extent?
"Shen Qing!" Yun Ye frowned and quickly stepped forward.
Shen Qing looked up and forced a smile: "Oh, you've come at the perfect time..."
Gao Ya heard the sound, turned around and glanced back, a look of joy flashing in her eyes, but she was then forced to retreat repeatedly by the chimpanzee's attack.
She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Be careful! This gorilla is an 8th-tier mutant; it's incredibly strong!"
Without saying a word, Xiao Jin brandished his long sword and charged forward.
Sensing a new threat, the chimpanzee roared and slammed its arms into the ground, sending up countless fragments of rock. Xiao Jin dodged the flying debris, his blade aimed straight for the chimpanzee's throat.
"clang!"
The gorilla actually used its arm to block the blade, making a metallic clanging sound.
Xiao Jin's eyes turned cold. Using the momentum, he flipped over and leaped up, kicking the gorilla in the chest. At the same time, he pulled the Wheel of Fate from his waist and aimed it at the gorilla's eyes, pulling the trigger.
"Bang!"
The freezing bomb exploded, instantly covering the gorilla's left eye with frost. It roared in pain and flailed its arms wildly.
Yunye seized the opportunity, his twin blades slicing into its side like a ghost, the blades cutting through the tough fur and drawing out a spray of blood.
Seeing this, Gao Ya raised her giant sword high, its blade gleaming with a blazing red light, and slashed down fiercely—
"boom!"
The gorilla's right arm was severed, and blood gushed out. It staggered backward, fear finally appearing in its eyes, and turned to run away.
"Trying to run?" Xiao Jin sneered, and the [Desolate Barrier] instantly activated.
Crimson runes coiled around the gorilla's legs, draining its life force and slowing its movements. Yunye seized the opportunity, his twin swords flashing, one severing its kneecap, the other plunging into its back.
The chimpanzee let out a final howl before its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for killing an 8th-tier mutated chimpanzee. The points earned will be distributed according to contribution...]
Gao Ya let out a long sigh of relief, leaning her giant sword on the ground, and panted, "Finally, it's over..."
Shen Qing struggled to his feet and said with a wry smile, "Damn it, I almost got ambushed by that assassin."
Xiao Jin walked over, frowning, and asked, "What happened?"
Shen Qing pointed to his leg: "A foreign player, an assassin-type enhanced character, almost cut me in half at the waist. Luckily, I reacted quickly and only my calf was cut off. I barely recovered with a healing potion."
Yunye coldly asked, "Where are they?"
“He’s dead.” Shen Qing grinned. “I burned him to ashes.”
Gao Ya checked the time and said in a deep voice, "The mutation tide is over. We have two hours left before we return."
Xiao Jin nodded: "Should we return to the inner city to rest first, or continue clearing out the mutated creatures around us?"
With the end of the mutation wave, the mutated creatures around the city no longer actively attack the inner city. Now, all that remains in the inner city are some oddballs and deformed creatures.
Shen Qing shook her head: "I can't, I'm still a bit weak."
Gao Ya: "Okay, we're leaving then. Behave yourself."
"Huh? I'm perfectly well-behaved, okay?"
The three then parted ways, each going their own way to clear out the mutated creatures in the city.
Since Xiao Jin and her team had almost wiped out the advanced mutants, many players who had been hiding in the shadows dared to come out.
Xiao Jin did not encounter any more foreign players in the inner city for a long time.
After about an hour, the situation within the safe zone gradually stabilized. Later on, not only were the players working hard, but the remaining armed forces in the inner city also joined in to clear out the mutated creatures.
They were just stunned by the beating.
Forget about the countless mutated rats, poisonous moths, and centipedes; just consider the mutated gorillas that can flatten a tank with a single punch—who would dare touch them!
In the end, the indigenous people are just ordinary people, with mortal bodies, and they are not as durable as the players.
After clearing out the mutated creatures in the city, Xiao Jin and the other players were invited into the office building.
The inner city administrators attached great importance to their achievements and specially arranged a rest room, providing them with food and medical supplies.
When Xiao Jin and the others came in, Shen Qing was sprawled on the sofa, gulping down an energy drink: "This time the harvest was not bad, but it's a pity I almost lost my life."
Gao Ya wiped the giant sword and said calmly, "Be more careful next time."
Yunye leaned against the window, his gaze sweeping over the distant ruins, and whispered, "Those foreign players... seem to be organized."
With uniform attire, orderly grouping, and a clear purpose, it's hard not to make this connection.
Xiao Jin leaned against the wall, tapping his fingers lightly on the hilt of his sword, a cold glint in his eyes: "It doesn't matter, I'll kill them one by one."
Gao Ya smiled and said, "As expected of you."
Time passed, and finally, the familiar system notification sound rang out—
[Ding! The "Biomorphic Mutation" instance has ended. Players will return to the train landing point in 10 seconds.]
[10, 9... 2, 1]
Xiao Jin closed her eyes, and with a flash of light, she was back inside the carriage in the next second.
A notification sound rang in my ear.
