BFET Chapter 44

Flustered

Breathing sounds, and the sound of something rapidly climbing along the ground, rose and fell in the quiet night.

Shang Mengzhou and Su Yunan, protecting the people carrying the injured, ran towards the outer perimeter, using almost all their strength.

Dense rustling sounds approached.

Shang Mengzhou’s ears twitched. As she turned, she flicked her hand, and blue frost flowers gathered and fell on an arthropod-type Mutated Entity, but only a thin layer of frost condensed.

Her expression changed for a moment, and she backhanded a pair of guns, and in the next second, she aimed and pulled the trigger!

“Bang bang bang–”

A series of gunfire tore the night to shreds.

At this moment, unnoticed, the unconscious Shen Shu quietly opened his eyes.

Shang Mengzhou hurriedly turned back, silently relieved.

Using her ability continuously with high bursts and high intensity in a short period had temporarily made her unable to condense a lethal attack. Fortunately, the situation was indeed developing according to Xie Yi’s plan. He had stopped most of the Mutated Entities, buying them enough time to escape.

But they were alright now, but what about Xie Yi?

The corner of Shang Mengzhou’s eye couldn’t help but glance back, a strong worry rising in her heart.

“Ah–”

A scream suddenly rang out from ahead!

Shang Mengzhou suddenly came back to her senses, stopping and drawing her gun, but then she froze. “Shen Shu?”

She saw a tall and slender figure standing not far in front of her. It was Shen Shu, who had been knocked down by Xie Yi earlier. On the ground on his other side, the buzz-cut man who had been carrying him was curled up, moaning intermittently.

Hearing his name, Shen Shu moved and turned his head to look over.

Su Yunan next to her was still a little afraid when he saw him, and took a few steps back reflexively.

However, Shen Shu’s gaze swept past him and landed on Shang Mengzhou. He looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth and asked softly, “Where’s Xie Yi?”

“Xie Yi hasn’t come over yet.” Shang Mengzhou put away her gun, signaling Su Yunan to check on the buzz-cut man, then she cautiously moved a few steps closer to Shen Shu. “Do you remember what happened just now?”

“Not here yet?” Shen Shu ignored her question, squinting his eyes and asked again, “Where did he go?”

Shang Mengzhou frowned, inexplicably feeling that Shen Shu gave her a bad feeling, but she couldn’t say what it was. Remembering what had happened before, she hesitated for a few seconds and replied, “Your mutation was serious just now. Xie Yi told us to take you out first, and he would hold back those Mutated Entities.”

After speaking, Shang Mengzhou observed his expression and continued, “We originally planned to send you directly to the contact station. There’s a treatment pod there. I didn’t expect you to wake up suddenly. How do you feel now?”

At this time, the semi-transparent goldenPattern on Shen Shu’s jaw was still flowing, but the bright red bloodTexture on his face had faded a lot, leaving only a few mottled traces.

His still light-colored pupils looked past Shang Mengzhou into the depths behind her, and he casually replied, “I’m alright.”

Shang Mengzhou: “It’s good that you’re alright, but we should still go to the contact station as soon as possible for treatment…”

She stopped halfway through her words, because Shen Shu, who had been standing not far away, suddenly strode towards her, and said as he brushed past her, “I don’t need it.”

“Where are you going?” Shang Mengzhou turned around in surprise, subconsciously reaching out to stop him, but Shen Shu dodged her.

The bloody smell in the air mixed with various mucus and the stench emitted by some Mutated Entities was particularly fragrant and pungent.

Xie Yi was covered in blood and dirt. The red lines on the Abyss blade in his hand, like blood vessels, were already shining brightly, and a large number of incomplete corpses of Mutated Entities were piled up at his feet.

Some were chopped down and smashed by him, and others were left over from their own kind tearing and devouring the corpses.

He spun around to dodge a Chóng gòng that pounced on him from the dark, and at the same time, he directly stabbed Abyss into it, and the blade followed the Chóng gòng’s body and directly smashed the two pollution sacs inside it!

Kicking away this completely dead Chóng gòng, Xie Yi glanced around quickly, then turned his gaze to the distance.

These high-level Mutated Entities had a clear organizational consciousness. He had found a breakthrough several times, but was blocked back.

It was unbelievable that the Mutated Entities in a high-risk Enclosed Zone had actually evolved to this point.

The Mutated Entities around him were ready to move and surrounded him again.

Xie Yi’s mouth was straight. He held the Abyss tightly in one hand, and the gun in the other, his eyes cold.

The next second, without anyone greeting anyone, Xie Yi moved the moment the Mutated Entities roared and rushed up!

A group of Mutated Entities rushed up this time. Xie Yi struggled to find a breakthrough in the gap between counterattacking and dodging.

He didn’t know when the team uniform on his body had been torn open, revealing a white bandage glue on the back of his shoulder.

Xie Yi turned and kicked away a giant isopod that had been climbing up, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand instantly aimed behind him, a volley of bullets poured out, smashing several wriggling Mutated Entities that were entwined together.

In the next instant, he turned his head and stepped on the pile of corpses and rushed up, backhanding Abyss into the flesh ball-like Mandrill’s body. Using it as a fulcrum, he flipped over and landed on the back of another Mutated Entity! Then, while using missiles to disturb the Mutated Entity group, he used the same method to gradually move towards the outer perimeter with Abyss using these Mutated Entities!

Just as he was trying to break through again with these Mutated Entities, more than a dozen tentacles with pustules suddenlyRun out from the side! Xie Yi’s face changed, and he didn’t have time to dodge completely. He could only use the posture in front of him to forcibly flip in the opposite direction, but he was still directly penetrated through his left shoulder by a tentacle!

The piercing pain of being penetrated immediately made Xie Yi’s face turn pale, and a biting sensation instantly came from the wound.

He reacted extremely quickly. Almost as soon as he stood firm, he immediately pulled out Abyss, cut off the tentacle, and then directly stabbed Abyss into the severed surface of the tentacle, pushing the half of the tentacle still in his left shoulder out of the wound from behind!

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a strong windCome on from behind. At the same time that a pain was transmitted from his back, he wasPull it out.

Xie Yi clearly felt that he had fallen into the middle of the Mutated Entity group. He had no time to do any extra thinking. He flipped over and jumped to the ground, avoiding the Mutated Entities that pounced on him, and took out a missile to throw into these things.

At this moment, the entire Mutated Entity group suddenly became quiet.

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw some Mutated Entities roaring and pouncing on their companions.

The surroundings suddenly became chaotic.

As the only human on the scene, he was still surrounded by Mutated Entities in the last second, but in this second, he was completely ignored and stood in the middle of the Mutated Entities watching them fight each other.

Xie Yi’s eyebrows were tightlyFrown, and he looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something andLook forward far ahead Look.

Across a crowd of Mutated Entities tearing and fighting each other, he actually saw Shen Shu, who should have been taken away by Shang Mengzhou and the others, standing outside.

The bright white moonlightpouring down from behind him, making it impossible to see his expression.

The two looked at each other from afar for a second.

Shen Shu suddenly strode towards Xie Yi. Every time he took a step forward, different Mutated Entities would appear to clear a passage for him, until he walked in front of Xie Yi.

Only then did Xie Yi completely see his expression, his expression indifferent, but his eyebrows were filled withHorror: “You…”

Before he could finish speaking, a slender hand appeared in front of him.

His gaze then fell on this hand for a second. When he raised his head again, theindifferent andHorror lingering on Shen Shu’s face had slowly faded away. Then he saw this person raise his eyebrows and look at him and say, “Captain, why did you make yourself so flustered and dirty?”
