The red-haired girl seized the opportunity and sprinted forward with all her might.
The distance between the two sides is constantly closing.
As if sensing the impending danger, the two bone whips on the back of the [HeLa Cell] began to swing at an even faster speed.
Wounds began to appear all over the red-haired girl's body, but she did not stop; instead, she moved faster and faster.
This time, we must completely eliminate it!
The red-haired girl leaped up to dodge a bone whip, and the straight sword in her hand burst into flames, more intense than any flame before.
It shines like the sun in the pitch-black night!
"Go, Yanling!" The man gripped his pistol tremblingly, silently cheering for the red-haired girl.
The red-haired girl gritted her teeth and slashed at the HeLa cells with unstoppable force.
Under the red-haired girl's determined gaze, the straight blade slowly approached the body of the [HeLa Cell].
At that moment, time seemed to have been paused.
Suddenly, the red-haired girl seemed to see an eye growing from the back of HeLa's brain?
Then I felt a sharp pain in my neck, and the world started spinning before my eyes, my vision plummeting downwards.
She also seemed to see a headless corpse that had been cut in half at the waist.
This corpse looks just like me...
Then she felt nothing at all.
Under the horrified gazes of the man and the captain, the [HeLa Cell] jumped back, then turned its head and bit the upper half of the red-haired girl's corpse, tearing off a piece and swallowing it.
His eyes on his face instantly regenerated, while the eyes on the back of his head remained wide open.
"Flame Ling—!" the captain roared in pain, then, ignoring his own serious injuries, he charged towards the [HeLa Cell] like a madman, wielding his sword in one hand.
The next moment, countless transparent threads surged towards the HeLa cells like a tidal wave.
[HeLa Cells] munched on meat, not even raising its head, while swinging the two bone whips on its back.
Most of the threads were cut instantly.
In that brief moment of respite, the captain had already arrived in front of the [HeLa Cell].
[HeLa Cells] looked up, and a bone whip pierced through him instantly.
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, but the captain still gripped the knife tightly with his remaining left hand and stabbed down hard, pinning the HeLa cell firmly to the ground.
"Take Little Run!" the captain yelled at the man.
"Captain..." He hesitated, looking at the captain who was desperately trying to buy him time.
"Quick! Ah..." [HeLa Cell] bit down on the captain's neck, and the neck snapped instantly.
Even though he was dead, his hand was still tightly gripping the knife, holding the HeLa cells in place.
The man gritted his teeth, stopped hesitating, turned and ran towards Xiaoxiao, picked her up in his arms, and ran away as fast as he could.
He turned his head unwillingly and saw that HeLa cells were devouring the two corpses.
The man initially felt a secret sense of relief, but was then instantly filled with endless sorrow.
The man carried the little one and kept running and running.
I don't know how long I ran until my legs went numb before I stopped and sat down to rest next to a big tree.
The man opened his pale lips and gasped for breath.
In the dim sky, drops of rain slowly fell and hit the man's face.
"You're the vice-captain?! Hehe~ My name is Yan Ling, nice to meet you in the future~"
"Oh, what era are we living in that we're still using firearms like pistols? You're so outdated."
"Hello Hanxuan, I am the captain of Squad 105. Welcome to the team."
"That's right, our team is indeed very weak, so Hanxuan, would you be willing to become the vice-captain and lend me a hand?"
Previous memories kept replaying in his mind like a movie.
A tear slid down his cheek, falling onto his small face along with the raindrops.
The man reached out and wiped away the droplets on her face, which he couldn't tell were tears or raindrops.
Then her small eyes twitched slightly, and the next moment she slowly opened them.
"Xiao Xiao!" The man looked excitedly at Xiao Xiao, who had already woken up in his arms.
Her small lips moved slightly, as if she was about to say something, but the man stopped her.
"Don't talk while your neck is injured, or the blood vessels in your neck will rupture again."
The blood vessels on the small neck had recovered somewhat after the captain's long period of stitching, but they were still very fragile and could rupture again if not handled carefully.
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, then looked around before finally looking at the man with a puzzled expression, as if asking where the captain and Yan Ling had gone.
The man kept a somber expression and didn't say a word.
Xiao Xiao seemed to have guessed something and looked incredulous, grabbing the man's clothes to ask for confirmation.
"I'm sorry, Yanling sacrificed herself, and the captain also died while trying to hold off the aliens..." The man's face was extremely gloomy, and his long hair covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression at this moment.
Her small lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and then surged out like a tide.
Looking at the little girl crying silently in his arms, the man felt a mix of emotions.
Suddenly! The man's hair stood on end, and he hugged Xiaoxiao tightly and leaped forward.
Just as he jumped away, a gigantic maw from behind suddenly bit down on the spot where they had just been, instantly snapping a tree nearly a meter in diameter in half.
The man and Xiaoxiao fell onto the lawn in front of him, and the man immediately got up, his heart pounding wildly.
If it weren't for the man's supernatural abilities, the two of them would definitely be dead.
