Back to the end of the world: Metaphysics bosses hoard supplies for infrastructure construction

Chapter 73
The attack came too suddenly. After Ruan Qingqing escaped, their team suffered heavy losses.

Ruan Qingqing drew a safe zone for the surviving teammates to hide in.

A large number of mutants were walking around them.

And the huge thing that we saw just now was submerged and wandering in the ground.

"Now it is basically certain that these mutants are the same batch that attacked us." In the safe zone, they waited for the opportunity and luckily caught a mutant to take a sample.

The doctor's hand holding the test tube was shaking.

"How do we escape now?"

It was safe to stay in the safe zone, but they couldn't wait here for the dry food to run out.

The team leader also became anxious.

Yun Fangchang watched the mutants' movements vigilantly.

Ruan Qingqing was immersed in drawing the talisman and showed no signs of panic.

She handed a talisman to each of the remaining people.

"With this, they won't attack you, and you can retreat now." Ruan Qingqing said.

But her eyes soon fell on the place where those behemoths had disappeared.

"Or take their samples back and avenge your brothers." Ruan Qingqing's eyes were sharp.

Everyone was holding the charms and thinking deeply.

It's not far from the base.

If they left like this, they might attack the base soon.

"Is there any way you can kill them?" the team leader asked.

He dared to say that the mutant creature they just saw was almost unheard of. It not only hid in the soil, but also had super high confusion and aggressiveness.

By the time a base discovers them, that base will probably be destroyed.

"Have you seen the barbs on his back, maybe that's his weakness." Ruan Qingqing said, she took out a handful of lime from the Qiankun bag, and the dress was taken out of the backpack.

"This is what scorpions are most afraid of, and it may also be useful to them." Based on the last time she dealt with a mutant who merged with Starscream, Ruan Qingqing already had some experience writing:

"Of course, the safest way right now is to retreat. I can escort you back safely, but if we have to fight, I can't guarantee your safety."

The team leader hesitated, but the ground they were on began to shake violently.

Then he felt like some power was being summoned from the ground and was heading towards their base.

The surrounding mutants also followed them and waited for opportunities.

The squad leader was shocked.

They were going to attack the base, and the current choice was no longer an option just for his reference.

"No matter what, we must try!" the team leader decided.

Ruan Qingqing nodded.

Ruan Qingqing handed over the official city defense plan, which is still under construction and may not be able to stop those mutated creatures.

Someone needs to lure out the mutated creature first!
Ruan Qingqing wanted to leave the talisman on her body to protect against mutants to Yun Fangchang for safekeeping, and go and attract their attention first.

But Yun Fangchang refused. He returned the spell and was unwilling to put Ruan Qingqing in danger: "It's better for me to go, and you stay to command the battle."

"But..." The team leader became anxious when he saw this. Now the two of them are the most powerful in the team. If they both died unexpectedly, what would they do?
"No more buts, that's it." Ruan Qingqing didn't have time to argue with them over task assignment at this time.

She said seriously to Yun Fangchang: "Be careful in everything."

Yun Fangchang responded.

Ruan Qingqing took Yun Fangchang's amulet, put it away carefully, and then said to other teammates: "Take your own amulets. We will cover Yun Fangchang's retreat in a moment."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

After leaving the safe zone, Yun Fang Chang Jianbu appeared in the mutation pile and quickly attracted their attention...

At this time, inside the official 001 base, a ragged man stood outside the city, frowning stubbornly.

His face was covered with dust. Without looking carefully, it was hard to tell that he was Hao Yue.Now he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and his anger has no way to vent.

Just now, the mutated creatures he summoned to destroy the base arrived.

Now I can still feel them fighting back along Lu Jin.

After the news of his escape spread, the base's city defense became stricter than before, and even the underground waterways were guarded.

Nowadays, every container on the empty road must be checked, which makes it even more impossible.

Now even his boss can't take him out.

How could he give up like this?

The mutant creature he developed is now his last trump card. As long as he is summoned to destroy the base, he can not only take revenge but also escape.

"Over there, go over there and have a look."

The patrolling guard appeared again.

When Hao Yue put on her hat, she was like a rat crossing the street, hiding everywhere.

As soon as he escaped the pursuit of the patrol, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

But at this moment, the loud broadcast sound made him look ferocious in an instant.

"Hurry up and open the sub-city gate, the sampling team is back!"

Hao Yue staggered, his eyes full of resentment.

His newly developed mutant creature died.

A full five!

No one will know how much effort he put into studying them.

It must be that team!

Hao Yue was so angry that he hid his figure and sneaked into the crowd of people watching the excitement.

Ruan Qingqing and Yun Fangchang were seen supporting each other's three teammates back.

The squad leader is not among them.

"We got the sample back, but..." Ruan Qingqing hesitated, because she failed to save the team leader in time.

After Yun Fang attracted the attention of the mutated creatures, he relied on the cooperation with his teammates to successfully defeat four mutated creatures.

But the last one seemed to realize something was wrong, twisting its body crazily and throwing Yun Fangchang out before it could reach its weak point.

Submerged in the ground, nowhere to be found.

As the ground squirmed, everyone looked terrified. Ruan Qingqing hurriedly joined Yun Fangcai and returned the amulet to him.

Just when everyone thought it was safe for the time being, the mutated creature came back from the ground, accidentally hit the team leader with a pair of pincers who had just relaxed his vigilance, and swallowed him in one gulp.

When Ruan Qingqing looked back, it was already too late...

The guards guarding them saluted them, also paying tribute to their former colleagues.

The surrounding atmosphere immediately became solemn.

"Thank you for your willingness to contribute to human research." The words of the guard who received them on their return trip were very meaningful.

There are not a few soldiers like them at the base who go out to take samples for antibody research.

They may encounter an inhumane wave of mutations at any time and encounter some creatures of unknown origin.

Occasionally, people are mercilessly exposed to radiation, causing unbearable pain.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

The guards outside the base welcome them back with a heavy heart almost every day.

However, while the families of the fallen soldiers were heartbroken, Hao Yue's eyes turned cold and she looked at everyone with hatred.
