In the dense forest, the fire and thick smoke spread in the distance, while mutated animals and terrified survivors rushed toward the base nearby, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
By this time, more than one hundred superhumans had arrived at the B City base. As soon as the alarm sounded, all the available superhumans rushed to the city wall.
Suddenly, beams of supernatural light shone, and the solid ground beneath the mutated beasts' feet turned into quicksand, swallowing the beasts whole.
Around the quicksand were huge vines and plants like the Queen of the Night, which bound these mutated beasts. Electric nets fell from the sky, each one accurately striking a mutated animal, instantly paralyzing it, and then the metal arrows behind it would reap its life.
At the same time, several fire-type ability users joined forces to erect a fire wall tens of meters high a few hundred meters away from the city wall. These mutated animals were extremely afraid of fire, and they ran this way to avoid the wildfire.
Upon seeing the wall of fire, they were so frightened that they kept retreating. At this moment, the beast-transformed ability users transformed and jumped off the city wall to fight the mutated beasts in close combat.
Hundreds of mutated beasts were trapped in place by so many superhumans working together.
"Awoo!"
Just then, a tiger's roar came from the forest, as loud as a bell and as deafening as thunder.
Upon hearing the tiger's roar, the mutated beasts all retreated quickly, disappearing into the deep forest.
The ability users at the B City base also stopped the pursuit. Some of them had been injured or killed, and their abilities were running low. Chasing after them would not benefit them. Chen Yu stood at the forefront of these ability users, his eyes deep as he looked into the forest. Among these mutated beasts, there was even a king! And it was a mutated tiger!
The roar of that tiger just now had already made him tremble. This was definitely not something a level 2 mutated beast could achieve. Had this mutated tiger actually leveled up to level 3?
At the same time, the Qiyuan Base was not so lucky. Their number of superhumans was already small, and with their small numbers, they were soon attacked by mutated beasts, resulting in many deaths and injuries.
Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong were protected by several superhumans as they escaped to the rear of the base, looking quite disheveled.
Du Xueting stood on the city wall with the superhumans, her body radiating a dazzling green light. More than a dozen vines extended from her body, each entwining a dozen mutated beasts. The vines tightly strangled the mutated beasts' necks, and the beasts struggled weaker and weaker until they all suffocated to death.
There were also wind and fire ability users around, who used their abilities together. With the wind fueling the fire, a large area of flames soared into the sky and rushed towards the mutated animals. The mutated beasts shrank back in fear when they saw this.
They quickly retreated into the forest. The trees outside the firebreak of Qiyuan Base were also set ablaze, and the fire spread far and wide. The mutated beasts only left Qiyuan Base when they saw that there was fire everywhere.
The Qiyuan Base has suffered extensive damage from these mutated animals. The forests outside the base's firebreak are still burning fiercely, and the flames are scorching the survivors in the base. Although they are not directly burned, it is still incredibly hot!
Looking at the people lying on the ground and the collapsed buildings behind them, Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong's faces were extremely grim.
"Quickly clean all this up and rebuild the collapsed buildings as soon as possible."
Du Xueting leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, scanning the battlefield. Suddenly, she saw a strange scene: the head of a mutated beast was being dug open by something unseen, and the crystal core inside disappeared after being picked out.
She squinted slightly, holding a seed between two fingers, her hand behind her back, and vines silently grew out, reaching towards the place where another mutated beast was still being dug up.
As the vines approached, they suddenly wrapped around the beast, only to grasp at empty air. Du Xueting's eyes brightened slightly, and she rushed over quickly, standing in front of the mutated beast whose crystal core had just been dug out again. She said, "Your life must be very hard. I am a wood-type ability user, and I have plenty of food."
"If you're willing to help me, I can give you plenty of food, and you can continue living a carefree life with it," Du Xueting said with a smile. "So? Are you willing to show yourself and let's talk?"
The other superhumans around them also looked over. They didn't know who Du Xueting was talking to until a man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt suddenly appeared a few hundred meters away from Du Xueting.
Du Xueting's smile widened as she extended her hand to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Du Xueting, the captain of the superpower team at Qiyuan Base."
The man looked at Du Xueting's outstretched hand but didn't shake it. "You want me to join the Qiyuan Base?"
“It’s up to you. With your abilities, we couldn’t keep you even if we wanted to, right?” Du Xueting gestured for him to come in. “Why don’t we go inside the base and talk?”
...
"Bang!"
A week later, while Ye Lin was reviewing documents in his office at the underground base, he suddenly sensed danger and quickly dodged to the side, where a bullet struck his arm.
A yellow light flashed in his eyes, and he was completely enveloped by a solid earthen wall. At the same time, he calculated the direction from which the bullet had come. A large patch of earth spikes appeared in that spot, but there was no sound or bloodstains left.
He frowned deeply and pressed the guard bell next to him. In an instant, a figure rushed into his room, but he only saw Ye Lin's earthen shield and no one else.
"Deputy base commander, what's wrong?"
Ye Lin did not remove the earth shield on his body, but said, "Someone in the room has awakened the ability to become invisible. I was attacked by this person just now and was hit in the arm."
"Quickly send people to protect the base commander!"
"yes!"
On the other side is the Qiyuan Base.
