Chapter 221 I'll Cover for You
The mutated creature that had been flung away by the White Jade Beast quickly disappeared a few meters away and reappeared behind Zhou Tianqi.
The figure slowly emerged from the gradually gathering dark mist, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.
Its face bore a twisted, ferocious smile.
The smile that appeared on the face that looked exactly like Zhou Tianqi's seemed particularly strange and terrifying.
The clone mutant's eyes flashed with blood-red light as it stared intently at Zhou Tianqi, seemingly trying to drag him into an endless abyss of darkness.
There seems to be a sense of empathy between the replica and self-awareness.
We must not kill them.
"Release your spiritual entities to help intercept them."
Jiang Mu didn't have time to ask them what had happened. He grabbed Zhou Tianqi's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's meet in District 13!"
Black Panther, unable to contain himself any longer, stepped out to block Zhou Tianqi's path, immediately arching his back and roaring at the 'imposter's' true form.

Song Liang encountered the same situation.
Notice the sudden change in the concentration of pollution in the air and realize that they may have found a clue to the gatekeeper.
The group of four, along with two B-level sentinels, hurriedly went to find their captain and Yun Zhao to meet up.
We were halfway there.
The rabbit's keen eyes caught the subtle spatial distortion behind Duan Xi and Tao Haohao.
"It's a corpse collector!" Rabbit thought it was a corpse collector and quickly reminded his teammates.
Everyone immediately stopped.
They all raised their weapons, their eyes blazing as they scanned every inch of the surrounding space, preparing to deal with the impending threat.
But soon they realized something was wrong.
As everyone turned around, the spatial fluctuations returned to Duan Xi and Tao Haohao, becoming even more intense.
It was as if something was about to break free from nothingness.
Song Liang sensed something was wrong and warned, "Rabbit, don't fire yet."
As Song Liang finished speaking, the spatial fluctuations reached their peak, and two figures suddenly broke free from the distortion, revealing themselves to be two grotesque mutants with twisted shapes and ferocious faces.
The peregrine falcon that had been leading the way flew back.
The large eyes stared curiously at the mutant that looked exactly like its original form.
Two of you.
Duan Xi felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively wanted to turn around and kill the imposter.
The mutant turned around and remained behind him.
Duan Xi didn't see the thing behind him, but he saw the mutant opposite him that looked exactly like Tao Haohao.
Holy crap!
Tao Haohao clearly saw the monster behind him too, and shouted, "Did I get my data scanned by digital life forms too?"
The rabbit held the gun, hesitating to fire.
In the past few days, they have already figured out the rules: when the mutants die, their self-awareness will also disappear.
"What's going on?!"
Duan Xi wanted to curse, "How did this thing get out here?"
There's a mutant standing behind you, ready to kill you at any moment—it's even more terrifying than the will-o'-the-wisp that appeared on your forehead before.
Song Liang remained calm. "Don't mess with it yet. Go find the captain right away."
"Damn it!" Tao Haohao couldn't help but curse again upon hearing this.
It attacks you, and you can't fight back.
It's incredibly frustrating.
A gigantic brown bear appeared, standing between Tao Haohao and the mutant, roaring at the monster to prevent it from harming its main body.
The peregrine falcon came over, shaking its head, also trying to protect its own body, but it was too small to block it.
The peregrine falcon stared at the mutant up close.
The cloned mutant gave it a sinister smile, and its mouthparts slowly emerged...
Seeing this, Song Liang released his lion to help, blocking Duan Xi's back.
The group quickly ran towards the residential area across the street.
The captain and Yun Zhao went in and haven't come out yet, so they may have already discovered the gatekeeper.
The five ran into the street and happened to run into Jiang Mu leading his sentries.
Tao Haohao turned his head and saw the mutant standing behind Zhou Tianqi.
A group of spirit beings stood behind him, not daring to make any rash moves.
"You must have passed on your bad luck to us," Tao Haohao accused Zhou Tianqi.
Duan Xi: "That's right!"
Zhou Tianqi: "...Go to hell, don't try to shift the blame to me." He's already had enough bad luck.
Everyone's been here for a while now and is fine.
He was the only one who was both injured and being watched by the goalkeeper.
Zhou Tianqi felt that the captain was right. He would definitely burn more paper money for his ancestors when he got back and ask them for their blessings.
The B-level sentries stared at the three with complicated expressions.
If it were them, they would have been terrified by this situation, but these A-level sentries were still in the mood to joke.
The sentries at the large base have a really good attitude.
The white aura beast hovered in the air, merrily circling the crowd below, its blue halo standing out brightly against the gray sky.
Song Liang looked at Jiang Mu, about to say something.
Jiang Mu's eyes changed slightly, and he drew his knife again.
Having learned from past mistakes, the sentries tacitly kept their distance from each other and looked behind those around them.
The surrounding space fluctuated continuously.
The dark matter blotted out the sun and grew increasingly dense.
Jiang Mu twirled the knife in his hand and said casually, "It's not a copy; this time it's a corpse collector."
Such a commotion indeed alerted the A-level Sentinel Mutant.
It seems Xie Tu and his team have actually found a gatekeeper.
They've really angered that guy.
As Jiang Mu finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze, and an indescribable sense of oppression spread from the void.
The surrounding space was no longer a slight tremor as before, but rather like boiling water, violently churning, carrying a force that seemed to tear reality apart.
"They're here!"
Jiang Mu gave a warning and instantly retreated. At the same time, the blade in his hand flashed with a cold light as he struck the monster that had just appeared.
The first monster to try to emerge.
He was killed in one strike by an S-class Sentinel.
The sentries reacted quickly, each finding cover to prepare for the sudden battle.
Countless Sentinel mutants appeared out of thin air all around.
It was accompanied by deafening howls.
"Bang bang bang!!"
The rabbit calmly set up its sniper rifle and launched the first attack, delivering a fatal blow to the mutant from behind.
Duan Xi and Tao Haohao, who used to act as her shield, are now facing enemies on both sides and can no longer cover for her.
The brown bear and lion, wary of the clone's sneak attack, stood behind Duan Xi and Tao Haohao, unable to spare the time to intercept the A-level Sentinel mutant.
The rabbit was alone and surrounded by enemies. It used the terrain to its advantage and skillfully hid among the monsters.
The surrounding space fluctuated.
The Sentinel mutant roared and charged at her, the corrosive sound of dripping slime filling the air.
Liu Hong appeared beside her without her noticing, gripping her weapon tightly: "Attack without worry, I'll cover you!"
She was, after all, an A-level Sentinel.
Even against advanced Sentinel mutants, they still have a fighting chance.
The rabbit looked at the unfamiliar female sentry and chose to trust her.
"good!"
She set up her weapon, leaving safety to Liu Hong, and unleashed her firepower, relentlessly killing the monsters around her.
Liu Hong stood beside her, holding a knife.
The fluffy giant panda gradually solidified, blocking the Sentinel mutant that was pouncing on the rabbit...
