The dog's leg was instantly smashed, and it fell to the ground with a thud.
The man quickly retreated, putting distance between them.
[HeLa Cell] braced itself against the ground and was about to get up when it felt a surge of heat coming from behind it again.
It turned around and saw a straight sword engulfed in flames growing larger in its eyes.
The straight blade, trailing raging flames, slashed across the neck of the [HeLa Cell], and another burning head flew off.
The red-haired girl raised the straight sword she was gripping tightly, aiming it at the body of the [HeLa Cell].
Just as he was about to swing his sword, he felt a powerful force knock him flying onto the grass beside him.
The red-haired girl got up from the grass, staring blankly at the spot where she had just been. Her eyes widened instantly, and her mouth trembled as she opened it.
The captain who had just knocked the red-haired girl away was now pierced through the abdomen by the bone blade of [HeLa Cell].
He spat out a mouthful of blood, the metallic sweetness of which instantly filled his mouth.
Upon seeing this, the man next to him immediately turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was lying there, and there was still no blood flowing from her wound. This meant that the captain had used [Empty Silk] to stabilize Xiao Xiao's injuries while knocking the red-haired girl away.
The man was somewhat incredulous, because delicate tasks like suturing blood vessels require a great deal of mental control.
The captain, however, was still able to concentrate on his actions. If it were an ordinary person, their mental strength would have given out and they would have fainted long ago.
Just as the man had thought, the captain was already starting to lose his mind due to the mental strain and the piercing of his abdomen.
The head of the HeLa cell grew back and saw the captain in front of it, whose abdomen it had pierced.
Without the slightest hesitation, it opened its mouth full of fangs and bit down on his right shoulder.
Then with a strong pull, the entire arm was ripped off.
The intense pain instantly brought the captain back to his senses.
He gripped the knife with his left hand and slashed forward, breaking the bone blade in two. Then he kicked the HeLa cell away, creating distance between them.
Then he knelt on one knee, gripping the straight knife tightly in his left hand to support his body.
"Captain!" The red-haired girl scrambled over, tore off her coat, and used it to bandage the wound on her right side.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Captain! It's all my fault!" The red-haired girl looked at the captain's pale face, abdomen, and bitten-off right hand, and tears streamed down her face.
The man beside him anxiously changed the magazine and then fired several shots at the [HeLa Cell].
Several bullets hit the HeLa cells directly, but they didn't react at all.
Then the HeLa cell tilted its head back and slowly swallowed the arm in its mouth.
Thump! Thump!
Instantly, a powerful surge of energy erupted from her abdomen, causing the muscles of the [HeLa cells] to pulsate like a heart.
HeLa cells instantly regenerated her right hand, and her wounds healed immediately.
Its back began to writhe wildly, as if something was about to come out.
The next moment, two bone whips, like spines, burst out from his back, swaying in the air like bloodthirsty tentacles.
[HeLa Cell] looked at the man who had just shot her with scarlet eyes, and directly swung the two bone whips on her back at him.
The man's face froze upon seeing this, and he immediately rolled to the side to barely dodge.
The large tree behind the man was instantly split into three by the bone whip.
The man turned his head and looked at the exaggerated destructive power, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
If one of these were hit even once, there would be no trace of the body.
The man lay on the ground, and before he could even stand up, he pulled out a gun and fired several shots at the HeLa cell's eyes.
The HeLa cells were hit in the eyes, and everything went black immediately.
He began to attack indiscriminately with the two bone whips behind him, creating an attack zone with a radius of two meters.
"Run!" The captain whispered to the red-haired girl, his lips cracked.
"What?" The red-haired girl looked at the captain in disbelief, hardly able to believe what she had just heard.
"Please, this is my selfish wish. Your current strength is only at the 'high level,' but this alien species has already reached the peak of 'murder.' You are no match for it."
"If one of them escapes now, at least we can report it to our superiors and get stronger people to deal with it. If it gets into City C, the consequences will be unimaginable." The captain looked at the red-haired girl, blood slowly trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"No, Captain! You and Xiaoxiao are both seriously injured, and Hanxuan is almost out of bullets. Only I can still fight it now!"
"You'll die if I leave you here!" Tears streamed down the red-haired girl's cheeks, leaving streaks.
"Yanling! This is an order! Retreat immediately, hurry!" the captain shouted with almost all his might.
The red-haired girl was stunned. She looked at the captain with a severed arm, panting heavily, and Xiao Xiao and Han Xuan lying on the ground. Finally, her gaze fell on the culprit, the HeLa cell.
The red-haired girl raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then stood up, gripping her straight sword tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I can't carry out this order. Please let me be willful one more time." After saying that, she rushed towards the [HeLa Cell] at an extremely fast speed.
"Yanling!" The captain reached out to stop her, but the excruciating pain made him kneel down again.
He gripped the knife hilt tightly with his left hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He hated himself for not eliminating the monster from the start, and for being so weak that he couldn't even protect the people he wanted to protect.
On the other side, the man raised his gun and fired two more shots at the HeLa cell, smashing the newly grown eye of the HeLa cell once again.
He glanced at his ammunition inventory. "Not much left." A bead of cold sweat trickled down the man's forehead.
The next moment, his eyes widened as he saw the red-haired girl, wielding a straight sword engulfed in flames, charging headlong into the attack range of the [HeLa Cells].
Countless attacks spread out from the [HeLa Cell], but the red-haired girl dodged one attack after another. Although it was difficult, not a single attack landed on her.
The man watched this scene in astonishment; he could sense that the red-haired girl's strength had undergone a qualitative improvement.
He suddenly had a premonition that they might actually be able to kill this monster.
The face of the HeLa cell twitched, and then a pair of eyes grew out.
Bang--!
Bang--!
Two gunshots rang out, and HeLa Cells' eyes were shattered once again.
Then the man raised his gun again and struck a bone whip in front of the red-haired girl. The trajectory of the bone whip changed, creating a gap between the red-haired girl and the [HeLa cells] in an instant.
