BFET Chapter 59

Blood Vortex

Around five in the morning, seven transport planes landed amidst artillery fire with some close calls.

The rescue team and ground support personnel reacted swiftly according to pre-arranged plans, immediately arranging shuttle buses to escort the surviving civilians from the Xin’nan Safety Zone into the underground city.

The Research Institute simultaneously assisted in the transfer of the wounded.

Shen Shu had been acting strangely since he woke up. Although that terrifying aura had dissipated considerably, he remained agitated.

Xie Yi had indirectly sent a message to Hu Xianwei at the hub and notified Lin Zhixu in advance, intending to take Shen Shu directly to Hu Xianwei as soon as they disembarked from the transport plane. However, shortly after getting off the plane, a car suddenly screeched to a halt in front of him.

The rear window rolled down, revealing Fang Ganlang.

Xie Yi was taken aback, “General Commander.”

The furrows between Fang Ganlang’s brows seemed even deeper than Xie Yi remembered. He nodded to Xie Yi and was about to say something when a sharp braking sound interrupted him.

Xie Yi turned to look behind him and saw a car parked right next to Fang Ganlang’s. This time, Hu Xianwei emerged from the car.

Hu Xianwei strode towards them, stopping and turning to face the car, asking expressionlessly, “General Commander Fang, you failed to get what you wanted from me and now you’re blocking people at the rescue team’s side, what are you trying to do?”

“Old Hu, don’t be so impulsive.” Fang Ganlang sighed, opened the car door, and stepped out. “I’ve done nothing wrong, and I don’t plan to do anything.”

“Is that so? Then I must thank General Commander Fang.” Hu Xianwei sneered, unimpressed by his words. “I’m taking them back to the Research Institute first, and I hope General Commander Fang won’t interfere!”

“Xie Yi, take Shen Shu to the car first.” Hu Xianwei turned to look at Xie Yi, frowning as he glanced at Shen Shu behind him, who was constantly looking down, clearly distracted.

Sensing the tension between the two big shots, Xie Yi intuitively felt that Shen Shu was the cause. He nodded, said nothing more, grabbed Shen Shu’s hand, and headed towards Hu Xianwei’s car.

The two walked to the car one after the other. Xie Yi opened the rear door, intending to push Shen Shu inside, but unexpectedly, the previously distracted Shen Shu suddenly reached out and grabbed the car door.

Xie Yi looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Shu didn’t reply, but with a blank expression, he turned and walked ten meters away, looking towards the constantly rising artillery fire in the distance. The next moment, as if experiencing immense pain, he convulsed and bent over.

“Shen Shu!” Xie Yi’s heart sank. Before he could approach Shen Shu, a chilling aura spread outwards from Shen Shu as the center!

The alarm on the apron immediately blared!

At the same time, on the outskirts of Kui City, near the original uninhabited area.

Those festering, wriggling fleshy substances were constantly bombarded by artillery fire and cut by various abilities, but they grew and spread rapidly, and the ability users and artillery fire gathered around could not completely approach the location of the omen.

More and more fish-head Mutated Entities and other types of high and low-level Mutated Entities gathered from the surroundings.

“Where’s the team responsible for suppressing these fish heads!” An field team member dodged a fish-head Mutated Entity that was trying to bite his head, rolled forward on the ground, and still did not forget to complain, “Why are there more and more of them here! Don’t they know that these fish heads can summon those Mutated Entities over?”

“Xiao Li, why are you talking so much nonsense!” Shang Mengzhou rotated a long spear. As she moved, cold air constantly emanated from the spear. When the spearhead pierced two Mutated Entities nearby, a layer of hard frost quickly condensed. Then, she twisted her wrist, and the two Mutated Entities instantly disintegrated. “Be careful, that thing is growing over again!”

“It’s endless!” Xiao Li couldn’t help but curse. Lightning immediately flashed in his palm, smashing towards the strange fleshy substance that was wriggling rapidly from the front.

As he moved, the guns and cannons of other field team members also smashed over.

Shang Mengzhou slammed her long spear into the ground, frost spread, and she used the force to spin and sweep several Mutated Entities into the artillery fire!

“Did you guys smell something?” Su Yunan asked, holding a submachine gun beside him.

“Yeah, a stench and a fishy smell.” Xiao Li’s lightning ball continued to condense. Suddenly, he caught sight of something, “Hey, wait, who’s that over there? What are you eating?”

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, he saw several people kneeling down suddenly, and then reaching out to grab a pile of rotten meat!

At this moment, he smelled a strange aura, and a sense of emptiness suddenly arose in his abdomen.

“Careful!” Shang Mengzhou grabbed Xiao Li and pulled him back violently. “What are you spacing out for! And you, Su Yunan, stop looking, hide!”

Xiao Li was startled by Shang Mengzhou’s pull. He looked up and saw some blood-colored vortex-shaped mists suddenly appearing in the surrounding sky.

“What… what is that?” Someone on the apron suddenly shouted.

Xie Yi looked up and saw several blood-colored vortex-shaped mists appearing around Shen Shu!

Those mists grew larger in the blink of an eye, becoming increasingly dense, gradually forming large vortexes.

“Xie Yi!” Hu Xianwei’s voice came from behind.

Xie Yi replied without turning his head: “Professor Hu, leave quickly! Don’t worry, I’ll bring Shen Shu back to the Research Institute safely.”

Five minutes before, Shen Shu had suddenly undergone a mutation. With him as the center, pollution spread rapidly. Fortunately, the surviving civilians from the Xin’nan Safety Zone had already been transported away by shuttle buses.

The on-site rescue team reacted quickly, evacuated the remaining wounded, and immediately blocked off and guarded the apron.

Xie Yi, Hu Xianwei, and Fang Ganlang were the closest to Shen Shu. Although Xie Yi reacted extremely quickly and pushed Hu Xianwei and Fang Ganlang into the car, they were still affected by varying degrees of pollution and showed serious mutation reactions.

After Xie Yi said that, Shen Shu, who had been crouching down, suddenly stood up.

Xie Yi had a bad premonition, “Shen Shu!”

However, Shen Shu ignored him and walked slowly towards a blood-colored vortex closest to him.

“Damn it!” Xie Yi quickly moved towards Shen Shu.

Lin Zhixu, who was watching from behind, shouted in alarm when he saw Xie Yi’s actions, “Xie Yi, what are you doing? Are you courting death? Stop!”

With each step Shen Shu took, the terrifying aura on his body intensified.

Xie Yi could even clearly feel that the surrounding pollution concentration was also rising rapidly. As he continued to close the distance between himself and Shen Shu, the light and dark scales on his body spread and covered him quickly.

Finally, just as Shen Shu walked to the blood-colored vortex, Xie Yi reached out and grabbed him!

“Shen Shu, what the hell are you doing!” Xie Yi grabbed Shen Shu with his almost completely mutated hand, forcing him to turn around. When he saw his face clearly, Xie Yi’s pupils shrank and he instinctively held his breath.

The rescue team members who had been staring at this side from behind collectively gasped when Shen Shu turned around.

Shen Shu’s face was covered with crimson bloodTexture, which seemed to be living things, constantly twisting and transforming into different symbols on his face, as if struggling and trying to drill out.

His irises had completely faded in color, almost merging with the whites of his eyes.

After a brief eye contact, Shen Shu suddenly smiled at him. Without any warning, he raised his hand and grabbed Xie Yi’s arm, and then dragged him backwards into the vortex!

As he was swallowed by the vortex, Xie Yi seemed to hear a sigh from somewhere.

Everyone present didn’t react.

Then, someone suddenly asked, “Where did they go?”

Before anyone could respond, someone else shouted, “Look, those vortexes are moving!”

As soon as this voice fell, those vortexes suddenly swelled for a moment, then cracked open from the middle, and a huge fish head with copper bell-sized eyeballs drilled out from inside!
