Chapter 561 Mechanical Beast Guards Army! (2/2)
Bang!
The Mutation Source exploded completely as though it was an overfilled water balloon, spraying out everywhere. It was as though the rain had turned black all of a sudden. With the internal skeleton exposed, it was quickly torn apart by the rotating mechanical drill.
The majority of the black tar like substance disintegrated into a molecular level before it could touch the ground, disappearing without a trace.
As for the remaining parts of the Mutation Source, it splashed into the muddy water, reverting to its original slime form. It sprayed out more slime, constructing its simulated body from scratch once again. However, without an internal skeleton, the process was a lot more difficult. It took a long time for a human shape to be restored. Although it could not show any expressions, its fear could not be hidden.
”Urgh… what happened? You… what have you done‽”
Within its ink black body, white lines could be seen radiating around it, like tiny snakes swimming around. Now that the first injection had taken effect, the Mutation Source discovered that its ability was greatly suppressed. During the instant in which it had been injected, it had lost its connection to all the infected people. It could remember this sort of deep darkness from when it had just been born, without any external senses to manipulate.
There was a moment where all the raging beasts were free from the control of the Mutation Source. Their anger and fury had dissipated, causing them to regain clarity. However, this only lasted for a few seconds before the Mutation Source regained its strength and reasserted its control. However, its control intensity was reduced, and it could detect that it had lost a lot of energy, becoming weaker.
In its short life, it had felt the taste of fear for the first time.
The eight Oathkeepers around Han Xiao were like barriers, separating the beast horde and preventing the Mutation Source from receiving support. Han Xiao landed near the Mutation Source, and looking at its expression, he felt as though he was beating up a small child.
The upper arm of his mechanical suit revealed a cylindrical recess, and the empty serum tube was ejected, dropping into the mud.
Looking at the stats of the enemy, Han Xiao's brows furrowed. He discovered something strange, that the ability of the Mutation Source had only decreased by about a third. This was vastly inferior to the effects that he remembered from his past life.
He had a suspicion and, upon pondering further, realized the issue.
Previously, Godora spent a longer time doing research, and while the circumstances now are different, because I gave them a sample, the research time was still too short. Because I was pressed for time, the sample provided was weaker than in my previous life, so there's a need for a larger dosage.
Nagakin had only brought three serums, and Han Xiao had planned to use all three to quickly eliminate the Mutation Source. However, the effects of the serum were not as pronounced as before, which was something that he had not expected. Most likely, even if he finished injecting all three, the Mutation Source would still not collapse on its own.
Sh*t!
Godora was indeed unreliable. It was still better to use his fists to solve the problem!
Cupping his fists, Han Xiao helplessly shook his head.
”It seems like I'll need to accompany you for some playtime.”
Meanwhile, the Mechanical Beast Guards Army cooperated seamlessly under the control of Phillip, pinning down all the beasts on the mountains and plains. Even the beasts who were originally going after the players had turned back to fight the Mechanical Beast Guards Army that was like a meat grinder.
The hundreds of players finally heaved sighs of relief, pausing to look at the blood-soaked battlefield. Seeing that the beast horde was occupied by Han Xiao's army, they started to plot once again.
The beast horde is no longer chasing us!
That's right, Black Star's Mechanic Army is likely to be pinning the beast horde down.
This is as good as helping us restrain them, so we'll have the chance to integrate into the battlefield and fight with the beasts!
Furthermore, we can even kill off the Mutation Source and complete the first kill!
Jupiter's eyes gleamed, and he was overjoyed at this scene.
While Black Star was currently dealing with the Mutation Source, an NPC would definitely not care who ended up killing the Mutation Source. As for them, they would be able to obtain the extra reward by killing the Mutation Source! This was an opportunity to achieve the highest rank for the Ranked mission!
The hundreds of players were eager to move, wanting to be the one that took its head.
…
The moment the detector locked onto the Mutation Source, Han Xiao had immediately taken his BlackLight Stealth out, without having time to inform anyone else. However, all the various parties had been concerned about the movement of the BlackLight Stealth. Han Xiao had only exchanged a few blows with the Mutation Source before the Six Nations, Bennett, Nagakin, and others saw the pictures of the battlefield through satellite imagery. It was then that they discovered the presence of the Mutation Source, and they were all overjoyed by this news.
It had only been a day, but they had already found the Mutation Source! Nagakin was immensely happy and immediately gathered his troops to provide support.
The same was true for Herlous, who immediately gathered the mercenaries to set off. While he knew that Han Xiao would likely not require much help, as his subordinates, to have the leader fight whilst they ate popcorn, what sort of mercenaries were they!
If they were picked on by Han Xiao because of this… Thus, even if it was just to join in the fun, they had to be on scene!
Bennett had absolute confidence in Han Xiao and waved his hand, allowing people on the battlefield to broadcast the scene of the battlefield inside the Sanctuary. All the channels displayed images of Han Xiao fighting on the battlefield, and the refugees were all seated around their screens, nervously watching the fight unfold.
Hila and Aurora also stopped their work of checking for the infected, looking intently at the screen.
”Sis, look, Han Xiao!” Aurora happily exclaimed.
Watching the one-sided fight, Hila's red lips trembled, her expression conflicted.
She thought about how, a few years ago, Han Xiao had destroyed the Germinal Organization and ended the war. To say that he had saved the world was inappropriate, but he had indeed saved her sister and herself.
However, Han Xiao was really saving the world this time. From the time he returned to the present, the number of people whom he had saved was probably in the millions.
While she had known him for a few years, Hila realized that she had never truly understood Han Xiao. This person was like a closed book, making it difficult for anyone to actually know what he was thinking.
On the screen, watching Han Xiao's show of force by using one person's strength to stop an army of beasts, she definitely could not achieve that. In just a few years, she had already been left far behind.
Hila could not help but tighten her fists.
Only by following the Dragon Emperor to cultivate will I be able to catch up with him, right?
The attention of the Six Nations was also focused on Han Xiao, their hearts tightening with anxiety.
Only when Han Xiao destroyed this Mutation Source would the disaster truly end. Only today did they finally see a ray of light in this bleak and dark world.
The upper echelons of the Six Nations all stopped their work, staring fixedly at the image transmitted by the satellites. Even the heads of the Six Nations did the same.
Everyone hoped in their heart for Han Xiao to succeed.
As for the DarkStar squad that were hidden in Planet Aquamarine, they also discovered the scene of the battlefield.
