Chapter 12 Chapter 12 [Intermediate mutant, danger rating: A...
The third floor of the supermarket is the clothing area, which has a complete range of outerwear and underwear. There are various cabinets and shelves that serve as cover, as well as weapons that can be used at any time - various scattered metal hangers.
What was more troublesome was that the entire third floor was in a mess and all the mirrors were smashed to pieces, leaving people with nowhere to step or having to step on broken glass everywhere.
After seeing the mutant from afar, not only Xue Kai took a breath of cold air, but Ye Mian also couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Although it still maintained its human form, it was more than three meters tall, reaching straight to the ceiling. Its arms were longer than those of ordinary humans, and its bluish-white, steel-like skin was covered with bulging, hard muscles.
There were tumors on its head, neck, and other parts of its body. As it moved, the tumors were jumping from the inside out, as if something was trying to break through the skin and come out.
[Intermediate mutant, danger rating: A, weakness: heart]
Heart?
Ye Mian moved his eyes upwards and frowned even more tightly. Even if Lu Ning was over 1.7 meters tall, he would probably have to jump up to hit its heart.
Unless you trip it up completely and suppress it for a while.
Just as she was thinking about the difficulty of the two methods, Lu Ning suddenly spoke softly.
"It's not slow on flat ground, but it can't go up and down stairs, so it has been stranded on the third floor, trying to find a breakthrough from above to leave."
"Also, its hands are much more flexible than expected. If a punch doesn't land, it will be countered. Plus, it's also a strength type. Its entire body is as hard as a copper wall. Even a sneak attack would be difficult to defeat."
After saying that, Lu Ning turned his head and looked at Ye Mian: "How are you going to help me?"
Although he was asking a question, there was no expectation of an answer in Lu Ning's eyes. Instead, it seemed as if he was saying that it was not too late to regret and retreat.
Ye Mian ignored the dissuading look in her eyes and said thoughtfully, "So its attack method is all based on its hands, right?"
"……Yes."
Unexpectedly, Ye Mian could still remain calm at this moment, and a flash of surprise passed across Lu Ning's face.
Ye Mian had no time to care about Lu Ning's thoughts. A very rough plan quickly formed in his mind: "That's perfect. Xue Kai and I will each take charge of one hand. You wait until the right time to attack it."
Xue Kai was a little confused when his name was suddenly called: "Ah? Me?"
"Well," Ye Mian took a step forward and officially stepped onto the third floor, "Also, remember to hit its heart."
"Wait..." Lu Ning almost subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop it, but she was a step too slow. When she heard the familiar roar, her eyes and face instantly turned cold.
Discovered.
Seeing Ye Mian going straight up, Xue Kai also hurriedly followed, stumbling over him. Seeing the mutant at the other end of the floor roaring and rushing towards them, he used his skills without thinking.
Ye Mian turned around to look at him, and saw that four walls really appeared out of thin air, and there was a faint white light like a barrier above his head, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It seems there is no need to worry about him at all.
"I'll be on the left, you on the right."
"……good!"
After hearing this echoing response, Ye Mian turned and walked to the left, observing the movements and speed of the mutant that was not far away.
Just as Lu Ning said, its lower limbs were not as flexible as its hands, and its body was as hard as a robot, with not-so-obvious pauses between its movements.
It seemed that Ye Mian's calm and relaxed attitude as if he was out for a walk annoyed it. It didn't even look at Xue Kai who took two steps and used the defensive wall, and swung at Ye Mian with clenched fists.
Lu Ning, who was holding his breath and waiting for the opportunity, saw that Ye Mian was stunned as if he was frightened. He didn't even think of hiding, and there was no sign of using any defensive skills. He could not help but close his eyes and couldn't bear to look.
However, the expected loud collision did not occur, instead, there was a deathly silence.
?
When Lu Ning opened his eyes and looked over, he was stunned - the mutant's huge fist was still in front of Ye Mian, but it seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not move forward even an inch.
“Roar——!” The mutant threw another punch unwillingly. The fierce wind from his punch caused a tiny crack to appear in the wall tiles behind Ye Mian, but she was still standing there unharmed.
Punch after punch, even though Ye Mian started to walk towards it, those punches still couldn't land on her at all.
What skill is this? Is it invincible?
Lu Ning quickly came back to his senses and turned to look at Xue Kai, who was also stunned and forgot to use his skills: "Hey, cooperate with her."
"Oh, oh good!"
Xue Kai quickly ran to the right, trying to make some noise to attract the mutant's attention.
"Ahhh——" The mutant was already getting furious because Ye Mian was a tough nut to crack. When he heard Xue Kai's movement, he immediately switched targets, barking wildly as if to vent his anger.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the mutant's iron fist was in front of Xue Kai. Fortunately, he was timid by nature and did not dare to look directly at the mutant. Instead, he closed his eyes and opened the wall without thinking, so he was not frightened by the too fast speed.
There was a loud bang, and although the punch failed to hit Xue Kai's solid wall, the wind from the punch still pushed him and the wall back a distance.
The failure of the attack once again made the mutant fall into a state of rage. Then Ye Mian kept throwing metal hangers to make his presence felt, so he roared angrily and swung his fists at the two of them madly, smashing the walls and the ground from time to time, causing the entire floor to shake.
The opportunity has come!
Lu Ning took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the third floor which had become even more messy, and moved closer to the location of the mutant. Thinking of what Ye Mian had just said about hitting its heart, she picked up a sturdy metal frame.
But in this case, even if Lu Ning tried to make every movement as light as possible, he would still uncontrollably make a slight buzzing sound while moving.
The mutant's hearing is better than that of ordinary people. For a moment, it seemed to have noticed something and slowly turned its head towards Lu Ning's direction.
The eyeballs of its eyes were devoured after the mutation, leaving only a layer of slightly turbid transparent substance, as if it had lost its vision.
Despite this, Lu Ning's breathing still stopped for a second and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
If she was exposed at this critical moment, all the efforts of Ye Mian and Xue Kai who risked their lives would be in vain.
"Bang——"
What?
The sudden collision startled Lu Ning, and then she quietly looked over. After seeing what happened, she was shocked at first, and then she seized the opportunity to move forward, and under the cover of the cover she came to a position nearly ten meters away from the mutant.
On the other side, although Xue Kai was not injured under the protection of the solid wall, his head was still buzzing from the blows of the fists. After realizing that the pressure of the blows suddenly disappeared, he waited for a while before putting away the solid wall. While looking towards Ye Mian, he tried to move forward.
This sight made him stunned: "Oh my god..."
It seemed that Ye Mian was no longer satisfied with just attracting the attention of the mutants, but simply took out a hatchet and began to fight back and provoke the mutants.
Although her counterattack had no effect on the tough mutant, it still succeeded in making it furious. It began to swing both fists at her and her side, and the ground around her began to collapse.
Ye Mian was not panicked at all. He used the force to jump away from his original position and headed straight for the mutant's legs.
"Awesome..." Xue Kai opened his mouth, then made up his mind and kicked the fallen cabinet beside him. Seeing that the mutant didn't care about him at all, he picked up an iron decoration on the side and threw it at him, "Come and hit me!"
But the next second he could no longer be arrogant, but could only hide in the wall and tremble.
——The mutant seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly moved towards Xue Kai, avoiding Ye Mian who was about to approach.
At the same time, he was pulling up the shelves on the ground to block Ye Mian's footsteps, and picking up messy clothes and hangers to cover Xue Kai who was trapped in the wall, as if he was going to bury him since he couldn't hit him.
Apparently he's finally started to use his brain.
But this also gave Lu Ning, who had been dormant for a long time, the best opportunity to take action.
When he saw a figure using the force to leap upwards, Ye Mian rolled hard between the cabinets on the ground, making extra noise to help cover it up.
But plans are not as good as changes. When the unexpected happened, Lu Ning was suspended in the air with no way to retreat. He could only watch the blue-white arm that suddenly grew out of the mutant sarcoma and hit him hard with a punch.
"Bang!!!"
Watching Lu Ning falling heavily like a kite with a broken string, Ye Mian frowned, feeling surprised yet not surprised.
Is this the strength of an intermediate mutant?
Not only can he suppress his anger and use his brain to think, but he can also activate the defense mechanism while attacking, and even such a perfect sneak attack can be perfectly blocked.
Then we can only use the trump card.
While the mutant finally found an easy target and was walking towards the place where Lu Ning fell, Ye Mian lay down and kicked his legs, using the smooth clothes on the ground to slide to the mutant's feet in one breath.
Then he raised the hatchet and chopped at its toes with all his strength.
Although the weakness given by [Insight] is the heart, it can be seen from the fact that it is used to attacking with both hands and is wary of the enemy getting close to itself that its lower limbs are also a weakness.
Even the slightest pain is enough to make the mutant who thinks he is powerful and indestructible angry again and make a subconscious counterattack.
Just as Ye Mian expected, the mutant screamed in pain and then kicked hard, trying to kick away this annoying little fly.
But it forgot one thing - it was too tall and its balance was much worse than it thought.
When it concentrates its strength on its lower limbs and kicks forward, its heavy upper body will involuntarily fall backward due to inertia.
"Hua——" But it still had some brains. Before its whole body was about to fall backwards, it suddenly bent forward and recovered in time.
"very good!"
Ye Mian was waiting for it to bend down, so he rolled up his sleeves and shook his hands upwards with force. Suddenly, a lot of almost transparent powders scattered everywhere.
?
The mutant who retained his sense of smell hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously swung his fist to sweep away the strange powder that was getting into his nostrils, but it was too late.
"yawn--"
With a deafening sneeze, the entire third floor shook and clothes on the shelves flew everywhere. Fortunately, no strange liquid was sprayed out.
However, Ye Mian still stepped aside, then turned to check on Lu Ning's condition, thinking that if she could still go up, he would call her, and if not... he would take the opportunity to run away with everyone.
As a result, the person was not found, but a strange "boom" sound was heard.
"Huh?" Ye Mian suddenly turned around and looked at the mutant in front of him.
It looked like it had suffered some serious injury. Its rugged face became even more hideous. Its mouth was wide open as if it had lost its voice. Turbid saliva mixed with black blood flowed from the corners of its mouth.
There was another "bang" and something bloody flew out and splattered all over the ground.
At the moment when the mutant fell to the ground with a bang, Ye Mian saw a slender but powerful fist through the gap in its heart.
