Chapter 896 - Discovered (1/2)

While the epic nautical warfare was still undergoing, Jiang Fei was completely oblivious to what was happening out of Japan.

”Are you sure that the rescue ships will arrive on time?” Jiang Fei asked, fidgetting annoyingly after waiting for so long.

”The estimated time of arrival is unchanged,” Z8-001 replied monotonously.

”Alright then,” Jiang Fei replied and nodded. It was roughly an hour left until the rescue ships arrived to pick them up. Jiang Fei was prepared to wait for another 30 minutes before he led everyone to the beach and left this god-forsaken land.

As the seconds ticked by, everyone grew increasingly anxious, even Jiang Fei. Only the Androids were unfazed about the tense atmosphere.

Even though Jiang Fei had everything planned out, facing the Mutants who had the terrain and number advantage was dangerous. Especially since they were all evacuating and not preparing for a fight. They did not have much of a choice. They did, but they did not want to continue fighting the Mutants. The only way of getting out alive, besides fighting all the Mutants, was to rely on the military's aid.

The night was dark and full of terrors but where Jiang Fei and the others were, it was eerily quiet. However, one of the martial artists thought that it was a good time to sharpen their sword, using nothing but flat rocks as a substitute whetstone. When one started, the others followed. Soon, the night was no longer quiet, merely dark and full of terrors.

”If only you guys could use that brains of your instead of your emotions, we would have already defeated all of the Mutants by now! Sheesh!” Jiang Fei screamed in his mind. Even though he was mad, he understood that the courage they had right now was forced out of them from desperation and the fear of dying without a cause.

”Captain, I have detected life form approaching our current location,” 0541 suddenly call out to Jiang Fei.

”Where?” Jiang Fei asked.

”Northwest, 2,000 meters and closing,” 0541 answered.

”How many are they? What is their power level?”

”One, approximately at Level 3.”

”Huh. Must be a scout! I'll deal with him!”

Jiang Fei shot up to his feet and prepared to track him down. If that scout was 500 meters or closer, he would be able to detect Jiang Fei and all of the martial artists.

”Brother Jiang Fei, where are you going?” Bai Wanli reacted immediately when Jiang Fei shot to his feet.

”There's a fly and I'm going to swat him!” said Jiang Fei, smiling before dashing off at great speed.

Jiang Fei being a Level 4 at the Pinnacle stage could easily run 2,000 meters fairly quickly without even losing his breath. He then arrived at the designated location which 0541 had guided him to.

”This it? A frog?” Jiang Fei asked when 0541 had informed him of the Level 3 lifeform.

”Yes. This frog has a power level of 3. It seems that there is no superior beast that could be as strong as a Metahuman. Hence, I have concluded that this frog should be an Animorph.”

”Nuff said.”

Jiang Fei did not give the frog a chance to react. He dashed behind him and slashed it in half before it could even croak.

The frog was… just a frog. It could not even make a squeak as Jiang Fei slashed him in half. As soon as it was dead, the Animorph's ability withered away revealing his true form, a regular human being that was slashed in half.
