The Seventh Base

Chapter 114: Chapter 18 Are You a Demon?
 @@novelbin@@

In the neighboring room, there were also quite a few people.

Xu Feifei sat in a chair, lazily crossing her long, shapely legs in front of her.

There were many genetically modified humans in the room.

One of them was huge in stature, sitting there taller than Xu Feifei, his muscles looked as though they were about to burst through his clothes.

His head sported massive bull horns, and even his face resembled that of a bull, his mutations evidently more pronounced than those around him.

The Minotaur had taken the second stage of the Genetic Evolution Liquid.

In Deceit Street, he was considered a top figure, dominating an entire area.

This time, someone had offered a high price for his services.

No one would turn away from money, not even the genetically modified.

Powerful individuals felt they needed more money because their needs were greater.

The Minotaur would eventually need the third stage of the Genetic Evolution Liquid, which wasn’t easy to obtain, not to mention the astronomical amount of Federation currency it required.

He fixed his gaze on Xu Feifei sitting in front of him. That fair skin, undoubtedly that of a pure human, so delicate and tempting, he really wanted to take a bite.

But still, the greater matter was more important.

Xu Feifei and Lin Jian were friends, and she was also the planner of this current event.

Of course, she had been ‘kidnapped’ here.

“Why isn’t it done yet?” Xu Feifei grew impatient.

“Seems like there’s some noise.” They heard sounds coming from the next room, apparently something was amiss.

The Minotaur frowned; he hadn’t planned to show himself.

After all, the Security Bureau was definitely going to intervene.

But now, something seemed off.

“Bang.” Someone burst in, saying, “Someone has come for a rescue.”

“Let’s go.” The Minotaur’s huge pupils swept outside, and he led his men out.

…

Xu Mo took down a group of people in just a brief moment.

Lin Xi took a breath, slowly regaining her strength to stand up, and said to Xu Mo, “Thank you.”

“Move quickly.” Xu Mo turned and spoke to Lin Xi, his voice hoarse.

He was cloaked and masked, obscuring his stature and face.

Xu Mo did not want Lin Xi to know who he was.

An orphan, a Desert Hunter, how could he be so skilled at killing?

Moreover, many things were difficult to explain.

Especially since Lin Jian, that foolish woman, had also seen him; naturally, he couldn’t let her know his identity.

Although Lin Xi wanted to ask who he was, there was no time now.

“Lin Jian.” Lin Xi called out, and Lin Jian snapped back to reality and ran towards Lin Xi.

The two of them rushed outside immediately.

Xu Mo didn’t follow; he sensed that Sun Xiaoxiao and the others had already arrived nearby.

With their support, Lin Xi should be safe.

“Sister Lin Xi.” Upon seeing Lin Xi, Sun Xiaoxiao and the others called out and then charged forward, only to see a group of genetically modified humans rushing out.

Jiang Tong was the first to charge, moving the fastest.

“Instructor, I’m coming to rescue you.” Jiang Tong said boldly, leaping into the air, his War Saber slashing towards the genetically modified humans.

“Cool.” Sun Xiaoxiao praised the soaring Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong appeared proud in his gaze, feeling light all over. Although he couldn’t see himself, he thought he must look extremely cool at that moment.

The Minotaur exhaled heavily, lifting his head to glance at the soaring Jiang Tong, his War Axe chopping down directly.

“Bang…”

A loud sound erupted as the War Axe directly flung Jiang Tong’s War Saber away; the terrifying power struck Jiang Tong’s Battle Armor.

With a clang, the Battle Armor cracked under the blow of the axe, sending him flying back, crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pallid.

“Uh…” Sun Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes.

Indeed, somewhat cool!!

Jiang Tong felt like dying; not only had he lost face, but his Battle Armor was also cracked, and a severe pain surged from his chest.

If it weren’t for the protection of the Battle Armor, that axe might have finished him off.

Were genetically modified people of Deceit Street this terrifying?

Had he known, he would not have been the first to charge.

Lin Xi’s expression also darkened; they were that strong?

This domineering Minotaur monster definitely had Grade B strength.

It seemed that this time, they really targeted her specifically, and the cost wasn’t small.

“Bang.”

The Minotaur stomped on the ground, the paving stones of Deceit Street cracking from the immense power.

The Minotaur’s massive eyes fixed on Lin Xi as he charged at her, wielding his War Axe, extremely aggressive and domineering.

“Boom…”

A blue Energy Cannon exploded on him, stopping his advance; his body slid back, a bloody wound blowing open on his body.

His fierce gaze swept towards the opposite side, only to see Su Rou holding a Heavy Spear, firing again at the Minotaur, she had switched weapons.

“Boom!”

Powerful firepower roared out, the Minotaur’s War Axe clashing with the Energy Cannon, setting off a brilliant blue light that held terrifying destructive power.

Su Rou’s Source Power Level was C＋, but she carried two weapons with her; at this moment, the gun was a Grade B Source Power Weapon.

“Instructor Lin Xi, catch.” Hughes tossed the Source Power Sword to Lin Xi, who reached out and grabbed it, then charged towards the Minotaur.

Su Rou held the Energy Gun, its blue light shining, charging up.

The blue light burst forth, another Energy Cannon firing, this time aimed at others.

Blue lightning streaked across the space, the Energy Cannon directly piercing through several figures, dropping them instantly.

“Kill her.” The Minotaur pointed at Su Rou and spoke, and immediately the surrounding genetically modified humans madly charged towards Su Rou, the ground shaking violently.

Sun Xiaoxiao was somewhat vexed; this time she hadn’t brought her Mecha, considering they were inside Steel Dome City.

At the moment, they could no longer concern themselves with that, guarding beside Su Rou, and directly fighting the approaching genetically modified humans.

Lin Xi was now battling with the Minotaur.

Lin Xi was nimble, the Minotaur was domineering, and each collision was extremely violent.

Lin Xi was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and was continuously forced back, but Su Rou occasionally helped her, which divided the Minotaur’s attention and gave Lin Xi the initiative.

Xu Mo did not engage in the fight, instead, he entered another room.

There were only a few genetic humans guarding it, along with the bound Xu Feifei.

Xu Feifei had the genetic humans bind her.

Therefore, even if the genetic humans were defeated, like Lin Jian, she too was kidnapped.

“Save me.” Upon seeing Xu Mo, Xu Feifei weakly cried out, her eyes revealing a wronged expression, appearing utterly pitiful.

Several genetic humans charged at Xu Mo, a Metallic Poker spinning out, continuously slashing their throats, falling into a pool of blood.

Xu Feifei glanced at the bodies on the ground, her heart pounding.

Who is this person?

How did he control the poker to change direction and kill?

Xu Mo approached Xu Feifei.

Xu Feifei looked at him with pleading eyes, displaying a look of needing rescue.

Very convincing.

“Who instructed you?”

Xu Mo asked, causing Xu Feifei’s heart to tremble.

She stared at Xu Mo.

How could he have known?

But in just an instant, her expression returned to normal, still appearing pitiful, she said, “What?”

Xu Mo turned around, he picked up the Minotaur’s axe, and walked in front of Xu Feifei.

He raised the axe with both hands. Xu Feifei, seeing this, filled her eyes with horror.

Her body shook violently, but she was bound and could not break free.

“I’ll only ask once, who instructed you?” Xu Mo continued, his axe raised, as if ready to chop at any moment.

Xu Feifei’s body trembled as she saw Xu Mo’s arm move, ready to swing.

“Ming Group’s Ming Yu.” Xu Feifei finally spoke.

She could not understand how the other party could have known.

A murderous intent flashed in Xu Mo’s eyes.

The Ming Group had indeed acted.

If he had not come today, Lin Xi and Ye Qingdie would have been doomed.

Lin Jian, that fool.

Xu Mo threw away the axe. Xu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped death.

But to her horror, she saw Xu Mo holding a gun pointed at her.

“It’ll be a less ugly death,” Xu Mo said.

“Bang…”

A gunshot sounded, and Xu Feifei’s forehead was pierced; her eyes, wide open in death, stared at Xu Mo.

Her last thought was:

Are you a devil?

After killing Xu Feifei, Xu Mo left the room.

Deceit Street was now in chaos, with the genetic humans from the street infuriated as their companions were continually killed, joining the battlefield.

Humans discriminated against genetic humans.

The genetic humans of Deceit Street also harbored resentment towards pure humans.

With Su Rou’s heavy weapons, one shot after another, seeing their companions fall in pools of blood, their rage was ignited.

Xu Mo did not rush into the battlefield; entering the chaotic battlefield would be troublesome.

He leaped along the buildings, reaching the top of a structure, his sniper rifle aimed at the battlefield below.

“Bang…”

Xu Mo fired, one shot per person, direct headshots.

“Let’s retreat,” Lin Xi shouted, knowing this could get messy if it continued.

The group nodded and began fighting while retreating.

Xu Mo cleared the path for them, with more people being sniped on their retreat route.

On Deceit Street, a pile of bodies lay fallen.

“Buzz.”

At that moment, several genetic humans with wings approached the rooftop, staring at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo turned and sniped one of them; the person saw the bullet and dodged, but the bullet suddenly changed direction, piercing directly through his throat.

His body fell toward the street below.

Xu Mo picked up his backpack and retreated, keeping pace with those below.

“Don’t tempt death.”

Xu Mo spoke to those pursuing him.

Some stopped, seemingly wary of Xu Mo.

But still, some charged forward; Xu Mo turned and fired again, directly killing the nearest pursuer.

This made the others also halt their pursuit, just glaring at Xu Mo’s receding figure fiercely.

On the battlefield below, a genetic human rushed towards Su Rou, who was unable to turn around in time.

“Be careful,” Sun Xiaoxiao warned aloud.

As Su Rou turned, she saw an axe chopping down at her.

“Bang.”

The bullet penetrated the attacker directly, the genetic human dropped the axe, and then fell to the ground.

Su Rou paused briefly, then looked towards the rooftop to the side.

She saw a pair of dark eyes beneath a mask, the figure donned in a black cloak maintaining the same pace as theirs.

Along the way, he had killed as many as she had.

“Who is he?” Su Rou wondered internally.

Not only her, Lin Xi wanted to know even more—who was that?
