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

Chapter 89

"Did you bring a flashlight?" Ruan Qingqing didn't dare to look back when she heard the low roar from behind.

Yun Fangchang said: "You, a Taoist priest, are still afraid of ghosts? I think the red line is just ahead..."

Turning on the flashlight would inevitably attract the attention of the dormant mutants around him, but at Ruan Qingqing's request, he briefly turned on the flashlight.

There shouldn't be any big problems like this now, but I don't know if I can't close it in time after opening it.

Under the light, they saw a red-skinned faceless monster behind them, pulling them with his skinny arms.

"Ruan Qingqing, why did you abandon us so cruelly? You will have to die!"

Ruan Qingqing turned around following the light and heard a voice that was all too familiar to her before.

"If you repent, come with us to see the big shot and save your father, we will still be a family!"

The woman is now hairless and skinny.

The red skin on his face looked like it had been scalded with boiling water, but his arms were covered with dark spots. The skin there had long lost its blood color and appeared purple under the light.

There were also black bruises on her neck.

She was obviously infected with the mutated virus, but she has not lost her intelligence or language skills so far!

And if this person isn’t Zhang Cuiying, who has disappeared long ago, who else is there?
Since leaving the official base, she is now almost non-human, and can only be vaguely recognized through her voice and skeletal outline.

No matter what they become, they will still be thinking about how to drain her blood until they die!

Ruan Qingqing was angry.

Zhang Cuiying dragged her and saw that she didn't know how to
In response, her emotions became excited again, and she suddenly opened her mouth wide and let out a huge roar.

This action obviously attracted the attention of the surrounding mutants, and they all moved towards Ruan Qingqing and the others.

"Target... find the target..."

Their words sounded like demonic whispers in the darkness.

Ruan Qingqing reacted quickly and wanted to leave, but Zhang Cuiyin held on to her tightly. Seeing her struggle, she opened her bloody mouth and wanted to bite Ruan Qingqing with great excitement.

Upon seeing this, Yun Fangchang threw the flashlight at him mercilessly.

Zhang Cuiying bit the flashlight without realizing it and swung it with all her strength. In the chaos of the light, the mutants who were attacking could not tell the direction.

Yun Fangchang picked up Ruan Qingqing and ran away.

They hid in an abandoned business building.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the decaying smell of spores hit your nostrils.

The crisis just now has just been resolved, and now they are encountering new troubles.

Around the lobby of the Business City, in the moonlight, there seemed to be countless eyes staring at them.

They were waiting for an opportunity in the darkness, and when Ruan Qingqing and the others were not paying attention, they broke through the fence and rushed towards Ruan Qingqing.

They are obviously much more agile than the previous mutants.

It maintains the original human form to the greatest extent, and seems to have the ability to help each other as a team.

They saw layers of drying racks falling in front of the exit, and a large number of mutants surrounded them.

Ruan Qingqing stood back to back and picked up weapons to resist, but if one mutant was thrown away, more mutants would rush forward.

Obviously brute force alone could not deal with them, but Ruan Qingqing soon discovered that although they were not afraid of the amulets they carried, their movements began to become sluggish when they encountered them.

Ruan Qingqing had a plan at the moment: "Follow me later."

Yun Fangchang responded and immediately saw purple flames igniting around him.

The mountains of drying racks in front of me burned to ashes in an instant.At first, because the flames lit up the entire business building, the mutants around them seemed extremely excited.

But when they touched the fire, they immediately let out inhumane screams.

The fire burned raging, and countless black figures fell in the firelight.

The burning smell quickly replaced the original smell here and became more unruly, making people feel extremely uncomfortable in the senses.

Ruan Qingqing was sweating heavily on her forehead as she continued to stare at the exit until the obstacles blocking the exit were almost melted by the fire.

"Now, run!"

With the fire clearing the way, they escaped safely.

Behind them, there were constantly angry mutants trying to catch up.

But when they encountered fire, they had learned from the experience of their previous partners being burned by the fire, so they all moved out of the way. Even after Ruan Qingqing and the others left, the fire clearly gave way.

"It seems that the knowledge they gave birth to is not complete." Ruan Qingqing said.

Perhaps it was the countless experiments they had gone through before that made them timid.

Ruan Qingqing and the others did not stay. After they escaped, there were also mutants approaching them following the movement.

With distorted facial features and tangled limbs, he was staggering towards the business building with flames blazing into the sky.

The huge fire made them think it was daytime, but their movements were still slow.

The mutants in the business building rushed out and blocked Ruan Qingqing's escape.

They roared with anger and fought with those twisted mutants.

The first generation of mutants did not show weakness either.

Although they move slowly at night, when they hear the calls of their kind, they all move closer and outnumber the mutants who attack them.

More mutants of different types joined in the battle and struggled with each other.

The more intense the fighting became, the more no one discovered the traces of Ruan Qingqing and the others.

They fled all the way back to the base.

Temporarily safe, they did not slack off due to the situation they had just encountered, and urgently shared the information they had just encountered.

Those still staying at Ruan Qingqing's official base were also shocked: "You said that the mutants you encountered have shown human intelligence even if no one can supervise them?"

This undoubtedly broke their cognition.

They never thought that someone could super-control mutants on a large scale.

Ruan Qingqing's theory undoubtedly overturned all their previous perceptions, making the incident even more absurd.

And the person who proposed this ridiculous theory was the hero who once saved them.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Ruan Qingqing said neither humble nor arrogantly: "If they were not manipulated before, why didn't they launch a second round of attacks on the base after we defeated Hao Yue?"

The people at the official base were speechless.

Their base's research on mutant creatures also found that the first generation of mutants had the ability to transmit information through simple roars and had no language function.

Moreover, after they came to the laboratory, they also lost their original ability to move quickly, and it was even observed that they could not freely control their limbs.

Such differences made it difficult for their research to find a solution.

Now after Ruan Qingqing's explanation, the facts seem to become reasonable again.

At this time, the representative of the official base came out and said to Ruan Qingqing:
"If that's the case, our base hopes to get real samples for research. Chief of the Evergreen Base, can you please bring us the samples for the experiment?"
