Chapter 54: Mutant Beast?

Chapter 54: Mutant Beast?

Ju Ling maintained an unchanged expression, as expected of a seasoned Soldier. She could endure the stench of a foul place for days without displaying any emotions. The other Soldiers mirrored her composure.

Their primary concern was the source of the putrid odor.

"Over there, I see blood... it appears to have dried up long ago." A Soldier rushed over and wiped the floor with his hand.

Not only in this spot, but they also discovered numerous dried bloodstains along the passage. Curiously, there were no bodies to be found, as if these bloodstains materialized out of thin air.

The passage was relatively short, only about two hundred meters, and a metal door awaited them at the end.

Gunshots echoed as the metal door swung open. Two Red Alert Soldiers emerged, their guns aimed in all directions, prepared to shoot at the first sign of trouble.

Yet, silence prevailed, and nothing out of the ordinary came into view.

Ju Ling and the other Soldiers cautiously ventured forward. They found themselves in what appeared to be a cafeteria. Spread across thousands of square meters were commonplace tables and chairs typically found in cafeterias. A few food-serving windows could be spotted as well.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Ju Ling, with her keen eyesight, immediately noticed the remnants of rotten and spoiled food still clinging to those windows.

Of course, after all this time, the dishes had become unrecognizable.

"Search the area thoroughly for any signs," Ju Ling instructed.

Ten Red Alert Soldiers proceeded silently, meticulously scouring every corner of the cafeteria. Meanwhile, Ju Ling made her way to the kitchen situated behind the dining area.

As soon as she entered, Ju Ling's eyes widened with surprise. She could sense a living presence in the kitchen!

Even if this creature had suppressed its breath to the lowest possible level, as a super unit, Ju Ling could not be deceived.

"In an abandoned underground research facility that seems to have been left untouched for decades, there resides a living creature—a Mutant Beast?" Ju Ling mused, uncertain.

She did not detect any extraordinary power emanating from this creature. However, it was inconceivable for an ordinary animal to have survived in such an environment for decades.

Ju Ling feigned ignorance and stepped into the kitchen. As she approached a cabinet filled with bowls and dishes, a black blur darted by, lunging at Ju Ling.

Yet, tranquility reigned, and the surroundings remained eerily silent.

Ju Ling surveyed her surroundings, exclaiming, "Is this... a laboratory?" As a research facility, it contained a variety of equipment and transparent glass enclosures, all of which were now empty.

Ju Ling gestured to her comrades, instructing them to advance cautiously, guns poised for action.

The absence of the other team meant that something untoward had transpired.

Ju Ling's expression turned grim, her Soul Slayer primed. She would strike down any foe that crossed her path.

Suddenly, a faint sound reached Ju Ling's ears. Swiftly redirecting her weapon, she prepared to fire. However, upon realizing that it was a dying Red Alert Soldier emitting the sound, she rushed to his side.

"What happened?" Ju Ling observed a sizable bullet hole in the soldier's abdomen, realizing he was on the brink of death.

"En...e...mies..." The Red Alert Soldier's strength waned, allowing him to utter those three words before drawing his last breath.

Ju Ling clenched her teeth, issuing a swift order: "Everyone, open fire!"

If the enemy refused to reveal themselves, she would force their hand.

Sixty soldiers unleashed a volley of gunfire, filling the laboratory with a cacophony of shattering glass.

Provoked by this act, the enraged enemy roared.

Simultaneously, a shadow lunged at the soldier closest to it. Ju Ling sensed the imminent threat.

"Die!"

Her Soul Slayer discharged, its special bullet striking the assailant at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Splat!

The bullet connected, but the enemy appeared unfazed, continuing its charge toward the soldier.
