Chapter 160

160 The Return of the Trio (2)

Chen Fei gritted his teeth and pulled him.

However, it did not work.

“Get lost!”

“If you still acknowledge me as the captain, get lost quickly!”

The seemingly elegant fire-type mutant soldier was actually the monitor of Class Two.

However, the class monitor of Class One had died in battle previously.

In order to protect Chen Fei…

After the class monitor of Class One died, the class monitor of Class Two had naturally “taken over”.

Now, he had to fulfill his responsibility as the class monitor.

Boom ~

Just as Chen Fei and the others had run less than ten meters, a deafening explosion sounded behind them.

Bei Yun, Chen Fei, and the others, who had just escaped, turned around and saw a soaring flame wreaking havoc.

Chen Fei even vaguely saw a, no, more than one figure in the flames…

Although there were many vines and they seemed to be immune to the energy attacks of the Crystal Core Spear, their speed was average, only the speed of ordinary people walking.

Therefore, Chen Fei, Bei Yun, and the others still successfully escaped from the encirclement.

In this charge, miraculously, not a single one of the hundred Ironback Pigs was injured or killed.

Only two unlucky soldiers were knocked down when they charged and had slight scrapes.

After running for a hundred or two hundred meters, Bei Yun discovered that the vines did not continue to chase after him. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and slowly slow down.

These vines did not seem to be able to leave that dense forest too far.

In less than two minutes, Bei Yun and the others saw Hong Zhijun and the others running over.

Because Hong Zhijun did not know the situation here, he did not dare to drive over rashly.

After all, the commotion of the car was still very easy to attract mutated beasts.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the speed of the truck was not as fast as those high-level mutants, let alone those speed-type mutants.

Looking at the leader, Bei Yun, Hong Zhijun asked anxiously,

“How are the casualties?”

Bei Yun looked at Chen Fei and the others walking behind and slightly moved aside.

Hong Zhijun looked at the remaining five soldiers and Wei’s body suddenly shrank for a moment.

This time, he brought out the veterans who had survived the beast tide attack last time.

However, in less than half a day, seven people had died here.

Moreover, there were also two level four captains.

This was the absolute main force of the army.

It could even sometimes affect the existence of local battle results.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

If not for the commotion caused by the level four fire-type mutant in the end, Chen Fei, Bei Yun, and the others might not have been able to escape under the venom of those green spiders.

He had only brought out ten level four class monitors in total and had lost two at once…

Looking at the large burn scar on his face, Hong Zhijun patted his shoulder.

“It’s good that you’re alive. Let’s go…”

After the group returned to the location of the convoy, Hong Zhijun immediately ordered everyone to set up camp here.

Half an hour later, a camp with more than ten trucks as the “wall” was built.

There were a few simple sheds in the middle of the “wall”.

At this moment, Chen Fei and the other survivors were receiving treatment inside.

Seeing the military doctor come out, Hong Zhijun hurriedly looked over.

The military doctor walked to Hong Zhijun’s side and whispered,

“Vice Commander Hong, there’s no big problem at the moment.”

“Your butterfly was very useful and stopped the spread of those poisons in time.

“Otherwise, those corrosive poisons can form nerves that numb the entire body.”

Hearing the military doctor’s words, Hong Zhijun was a little glad that he had such a beast.

He waved at the White Jade Butterfly that had flown out with the military doctor and this snow-white moth flew onto Hong Zhijun’s shoulder.

When Wu Yan, who was not far away, saw this scene, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Every time he saw these beasts, he would think of the man who had humiliated him.

“Doctor, can you tell what mutated beasts those are?”

“Green vine men and green spiders.”

Although the losses this time were considered heavy, they still returned with video information.

The military doctor was an uncle who looked to be in his forties.

After hearing Hong Zhijun’s words, he shook his head.

“I’ve never seen a vine man before.”

“There’s no record of such a mutated beast in the information.”

“I have some ideas about the spiders.”

“Tell me in detail.”

The military doctor nodded and clicked on some information from the communicator.

“This spider should be a mutation of the more common mutated beast—the Black Poison Spider.”

“One of the characteristics of the Black Poison Spider is its mouthpart and strong corrosive poison.

“Even its size and appearance are the same.”

“After turning green, it has the chronic neurotoxin and the ability to spray poison from afar.

Hearing the military doctor’s words, Hong Zhijun nodded with a solemn expression.

“What about their weakness?”

“Fire. Afraid of fire.”

“Doctor Li, you’re the only one here who’s knowledgeable.”

Military Doctor Li nodded.

After the military doctor left, Hong Zhijun returned to his seat.

Seeing this opportunity, Wu Yan immediately walked to Hong Zhijun’s side and said,

“Vice Commander Hong, what should we do next?”

Hong Zhijun glanced at Wu Yan and spat out two words expressionlessly—

“Ask for help.”

Seeing Hong Zhijun say it so firmly, Wu Yan thought that it was something. In the end… this was it?

“Vice Commander Hong, I have to remind you that the higher-ups said that we have to try our best to control the scale of this operation.”

“I don’t think we can get approval to ask for help.”

He never expected that the previously iron-headed Hong Zhijun would actually change today. He was prepared to ask for help after only losing seven people.

This was different from what Wu Yan had learned from the information previously.

Hong Zhijun glanced at Wu Yan and sneered.

“Then I wonder if Officer Wu has any good ideas?”

Wu Yan opened his mouth and his eyes darted around as he probed,

“Why don’t… I try sending a two-man team to take a look?”

“We don’t have to fight head-on. We can see if there are other routes that can bypass this area.”

“There’s more than one road in the city ahead.”

Looking at Wu Yan, Hong Zhijun smiled.

“Alright, I’ll leave this mission to Officer Wu.”

“Coincidentally, Officer Wu has two capable people.”

Hearing Hong Zhijun’s words, a trace of joy flashed on Wu Yan’s face.

Then, he agreed readily.

“Sure.”

Looking at Wu Yan’s departing figure, Hong Zhijun waved his hand and called a subordinate over to remind him before sitting down on the chair.

“Sigh ~”

—-

When Hong Zhijun was stopped, Lin Ye, who had been sleeping in the dojo, suddenly heard Bai Tao’s noisy voice.

“Shop Owner Lin! Shop Owner Lin!”

“They’re back!”

Hearing Bai Tao’s exclamation, Lin Ye sat up from his old recliner.

“Who’s back?”

Bai Tao pointed at the spatial door behind the dojo.

“It’s that, that Xing Rong and the others.”

Lin Ye stood up and rubbed his slightly painful waist. He looked at the very sorry Xing Rong, Xu Jun, and Zhuge Qing.

When they entered, the three of them’s clothes and pants were all fine. Moreover, Xu Jun, this little tycoon, was wearing the kind of clothes that looked expensive.

However, at this moment, the clothes on the three of them could not be said to be incomplete. They could only be said to be ragged.

“Did you… encounter beasts?”

Bai Tao looked curiously at the three of them, who were in a mess and even smelled a little. She covered her nose and retreated.

Looking at Bai Tao’s disdainful expression, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the three boys’ faces.

“Sigh ~”

Xu Jun sighed.

“It’s a long story.”

Bai Tao stuck out her tongue.

“Then make it short ~”

Zhuge Qing glanced at Bai Tao, then looked at Lin Ye and said seriously,

“Dojo Master, um… is there another entrance to that Beast Taming World?”

Lin Ye was stunned when he heard this.

“Other entrances? What do you mean?”
