Volume 4: Shadows Under the Neon Lights Chapter 199 Arasaka Yui
"Tsk... This scene is too bloody. I can't bear to watch it..." Although Ke Lan said this, his eyes never left the reflector.
When the Seed of Erosion jumped into the crowd of rebels, it directly trampled to death two unlucky guys who had no time to dodge. Only then did the confused rebels react and scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions for their lives, fearing that they would be targeted by this monster that belonged to "their camp" not long ago.
But it turned out that after the heretic sect's "special transformation", this giant mutant could indeed be regarded as nearly invincible in close combat: countless tentacles shot out from the mutant's body, and each tentacle accurately hit one - or several - of the fleeing rebels. Their bodies were like candied haws on a string... but soon, these "candied haws" shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye... The "feeding organs" on the tentacles absorbed the flesh and blood , leaving only a skinny empty shell hanging on the tentacles, which looked particularly horrifying.
"This thing... is so scary... I can't believe it. If it had rushed into our team just now... what would the consequences be..." Major Ashkani looked at the mutants who were slaughtering crazily in the opposite position and couldn't help but swallowing hard.
"Then I suggest you be mentally prepared... If the rebels can't kill this big guy, we will have to face it in the end. If we want to enter the Central Industrial Park, we must get rid of this 'goalkeeper' blocking the road. Of course, another way is to use a large number of active cell injection bullets to lead it away from this block little by little, but it's a bit too wasteful..." Ke Lan said, taking advantage of the gap when the rebels' firepower could not take care of this side, he picked up the Krebel sniper rifle... To be honest, after killing the 'container' who controlled the mutants with one shot, he really liked this heavy firearm with extremely violent aesthetics.
Of course, Kreber's sniper rifle only killed the "container" itself. After the "container" died, the seed of erosion in its body quickly entered a period of rapid change. However, after losing the control of human consciousness, this seed of erosion was left with only the most primitive desire - eating.
It did not separate from the giant mutant. Instead, the two were combined in a very strange form, slaughtering the rebel mercenaries who had no ability to resist at all.
Those mercenaries seemed to have no means to fight against the Seed of Corrosion. They just kept running away. Many of them even threw away their weapons in order to run faster. While running, they also took off their armor and equipment...
"It seems that these guys are still afraid of death. At least they are not like those fanatics who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the 'great god' casually..." Ke Lan muttered, "What I am afraid of is those who are not afraid of death. Such enemies are the most terrifying..."
If these rebels are really determined to die with Ke Lan and the others, all they need to do is run towards the alley entrance. Even though they might be greeted by the reconnaissance team's ruthless shooting, at least doing so can lure the mutants back here again...
But in fact, these rebels fled in all directions, but none of them ran towards this end of the square.
This gave the reconnaissance team, which had been suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, a chance to catch their breath. The agents of the Security Bureau and the soldiers of the garrison force quickly seized this opportunity to prepare their weapons and treat the wounded.
"If this momentum continues, I estimate that this mutant alone will be able to kill all these mercenaries." Alyosha no longer needed the reflector at this time. He simply leaned out and stood outside the bunker, watching the killing in the distance. Ke Lan suddenly felt that the idiom "watching the fire from the other side of the river" was very appropriate here.
"But these are just the enemies guarding the entrance to the Central Industrial Park..." Ke Lan raised his head and glanced at the Arasaka Tower in the distance, "Who knows what kind of monsters will block our way next... By the way, I heard that the headquarters of the Security Bureau was attacked by a heretical sect before. Can you tell me the specific details... Of course, forget it if it's confidential."
"You mean that incident?" Alyosha's eyes twitched involuntarily. "The detailed incident report is indeed top secret. Even I have never seen it. But there is an old agent in the department who is in charge of logistics. He is said to be a survivor of that incident."
"Oh, so there are still survivors?" Ke Lan asked with great interest.
"But... every time we asked him about that incident, he would show severe PTSD symptoms... It seems that it was for this reason that he was transferred from the front-line execution department to the logistics department."
"...Is that so? Then your Commander Victoria...has she experienced that incident?" Ke Lan continued to ask.
"Uh... I don't know about that, but I think not. Although I don't know the officer's exact age, I think she would not be over 40 years old. She should not have been an adult when that incident happened..." Alyosha scratched his head.
"Then... wait a minute, there seems to be something happening over there!" Ke Lan suddenly caught a glimpse of a ghostly black shadow leaping down from a height in the distance, and it happened to land on the head of the mutant that was killing people.
"That is...could it be Commander Victoria?" Alyosha rubbed his eyes and quickly grabbed the telescope.
"No... Victoria's figure is not that graceful - er, I mean slender... This person is obviously much smaller than her, and his limbs don't seem to be mechanical prostheses. Besides, they shouldn't have been able to get around the side of the rebel position so quickly."
Just as Ke Lan said this, the black shadow had already inserted a "steel pipe" more than one meter long and as thick as a fist into a hole reserved on the mutant's metal helmet. In less than a second, the crazy mutant stopped all movements, bent his knees, and knelt down on the ground with a "bang".
And Ke Lan has also seen the true face of the black shadow - it is the traitor who had previously blocked them deep in the mine and looted the Soma Group's mining base.
——Yui, or rather, her full name should be called——Arasaka Yui.
