Chapter 452: Frontal Attack
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
While everyone else felt astounded, the Eagle Guards' members were fuming in anger. Li Yuxin was in the minibus, and their only task was to protect her!
"Catch up! Protect Miss Li Yuxin!" Ding Yi reacted quickly to the circumstance, so he jumped again into the modified armored vehicle and shouted to other members of the Eagle Guard.
"Jiang Liushi, if anything untoward should happen to Miss Li Yuxin, I will make you regret it!" Ding Yi cursed while stepping on the gas.
'Om-'
Three armored vehicles were chasing after the minibus crazily. However, Ding Yi realized that even though they had stepped on the gas with all their might, the distance between them and the minibus was increasing.
"Chase after the minibus too! Following Brother Jiang will bring us benefits and meat to eat!" Qi Liang shouted and waved his Type 95 gun excitedly while the others were still in a daze.
"Aeolus Squad's members, get moving!" They could all feel their blood burning from excitement, and they followed Jiang Liushi's minibus.
"We should also follow them!" Little Seven thought and then said to the other members of the Ling Feng Squad.
Although Ling Feng Squad didn't worship Jiang Liushi blindly, they clearly knew that Jiang Liushi wasn't a lunatic man, as they had been interacting a lot the past few days. Jiang Liushi's shocking actions didn't cease to amaze them, and they were all under the same opinion that following him would benefit them a lot. Therefore, Ling Feng Squad's members also launched their cars and rushed toward the frenzied mutant beasts.
"What are you doing!? Come back!" Hou Dingkun shouted in an angry voice after seeing that. He may be unable to control Jiang Liushi, but Ling Feng and Aelous squads were under his command. Unfortunately, both teams' members disregarded him and rushed forward swiftly.
"President, should we support them?" Someone beside Hou Dingkun asked in a low voice.
'Don't get excited. Keep calm…Wait for a moment!' At that critical moment, Hou Dingkun hesitated. After all, there were around fifty mutant beasts on the opposite side, and many of them were level-2 ones. Hou Dingkun wasn't courageous enough to throw themselves in a crazy fight.
In Jiang Liushi's minibus, all his teammates had put on seat belts.
Presently, Jiang Liushi was looking indifferently to the first line of mutant beasts rushing at them. At the same time, he glanced outside of the driver's cab. Lu Changfei was following his minibus all the way like a human-shaped tank. There was no doubt that Lu Changfei was the strongest paranormal he had met. He was simply a fighting madman. Jiang Liushi had provoked him on purpose but never had he expected that Lu Changfei would actually follow his minibus all the way.
'Activate Accelerate function.'
'Equip Collision Ram.'
Jiang Liushi ordered in his mind, and then his minibus sprinted forward like an arrow. The terrible whistling wind sounded on both sides of his minibus, which was rushing forward at a fast speed.
The distance between the minibus and a mutant buffalo and a mutated wolf kept getting shorter, but Jiang Liushi's heart became calmer.
All of his minibus' data had appeared in his mind, and after a few calculations, he concluded that his minibus could withstand such a head-on collision, and he could afford to repair any damages.
'Boom!'
Jiang Liushi's minibus crashed against the first line of mutant beasts at an amazing speed.
At that moment, a cold mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Lishi's mind, 'Warning: Collision Ram was damaged by 5%."
'Warning: The MCV's body was impacted by the energy, and the alloy shell was damaged by 3%. Durability has reduced…'
The mutant beasts in front of Jiang Liushi's minibus had been sent flying, but the spikes and horns of some small and big beasts had damaged the MCV's alloy rams.
It was not an overstatement to say the damage, which the MCV's alloy rams had received, was an earth-shattering event. Fortunately, those beasts could not stand against the horrifying impact at all, and they were hit far away.
A mutant lizard with a fragile skull was knocked in the air, while parts of its brain were flying in all directions. Although most of the mutant beasts were severely injured, the minibus also lost its momentum due to the collision.
Lu Changfei was not idle either. He let out a shout and caught the leg of a mutant beast. And then, he waved it violently, striking many mutant beasts with it, and sending them flying. His speed was not much slower than Jiang Liushi's minibus.
"Abnormal!" Hou Dingkun's eyes almost popped out of his head as he witnessed the scene from behind.
'How is it possible that Jiang Liushi's minibus is still okay? Not only that, but the mutant beasts were the ones suffering the most! Some of them have even died!' Hou Dingkun thought.
He had once witnessed a heavy truck colliding with a mutant wild boar, and the outcome was in no way near as what was happening now. The heavy truck had been overturned, while the mutant wild boar had suffered light injuries. After all, some of the huge mutant beasts weighed tons of weight, and they may even be heavier. Not even tanks could bear an attack with such a huge weight supporting it.
However, Jiang Liushi's minibus had not even been deformed in the slightest! Moreover, the dashing speed of the mutant beasts in the back line was slowed down, and thus, they lost their momentum.
'Activate Accelerate function again!'
'Activate Collision function!'
Jiang Liushi ordered again, and then his minibus sped up quickly and once again rushed into the mutant beasts' group. Another few mutant beasts were severely injured and rolled to the side.
"F*ckers, what kind of car is that? How could its startup speed be so fast?" Ding Yi was surprised. He felt that the information they had about the minibus was way too lacking.
The continuous changes between stopping and accelerating took only a few seconds. Everyone could only hear the deafening sounds of colliding and feel the aftershocks before they finally noticed that the mutant beasts' group had started become less dense. Their formation had collapsed, and they were gradually scattering in all directions.
'Boom!'
After the tenth collision, all of the level-1 mutant beasts in the front were finally defeated. After knocking the last few ones to the ground, Jiang Liushi could now see the level-2 mutant beasts.
Lu Changfei had been left far behind, and several injured mutant beasts began to look at him with their scarlet eyes. Although Lu Changfei's physical strength had reached an unfathomable level, he was still but a single man.
A mutant viper like a stout whip wrapped around his legs and several mutant apes screamed and rushed toward him. Lu Changfei had been looking at Jiang Liushi's minibus all the time. It was the first time for him during his life to feel a slight sense of frustration.
He believed in his battle prowess and skills, but Lu Changfei felt he had lost this battle against Jiang Liushi.
'Waa!'
Lu Changfei roared, and his muscles changed again. Gradually, his body turned in the color of black iron, and even his nails and pupils became like that, emitting a metallic luster.
Suddenly, the mutant viper coiled around Lu Changfei was pierced and torn apart by a row of black blades protruding from his body.
Lu Changfei's strength surged once again. If he was just like a fierce demon earlier, he now resembled an unassailable Battle God.
The mutant apes were horrified by the sight and screamed, but without daring to step forward anymore. However, Lu Changfei dashed toward them, leaving behind black afterimages. Soon, he pummeled all the apes to death.
At that moment, Lu Changfei got a strange feeling, and he could not help but look at the bloody lichens underneath his feet. Meanwhile, Jiang Liushu also got a strange feeling as he was sitting in his minibus.
'Discovered unknown strong spiritual energy…' Starseed's cold voice echoed in Jiang Liushi's mind. Every notification Starseed transmitted indicated that something would happen.
"Brother Jiang, look!" Jiang Liushi instantly felt Ran Xiyu sharing her spiritual vision with him.
In the spiritual field, Jiang Liushi was astounded by the peculiar scene. The blood lichens underneath the minibus were covered with countless dense red lines. Those lines were feeble, far less than the spiritual fluctuations an ordinary person would emit, but they were so dense that almost covered everything. At the same time, they were spread to the surrounding group of mutant beasts.
"Brother Jiang, this mental signal is very weak, but I have hardly figured out what it means...it's an order to withdraw, protect..." Ran Xiyu looked at Jiang Liushi in surprise.
"The will of the mother beast!" Jiang Liushi understood instantly. The blood lichen was inextricably linked to the mother beast, and that was obviously a message that the mother beast had sent.
The Xiayuan Military Government had done a lot of research on mother beasts from various beast nests. In the booklet that Professor Su had provided to Jiang Liushi, it was mentioned that mother beasts were a relatively advanced variant. They were just like a wolf in nature. They possessed strong fighting instincts and intelligence that had been evolved over a long period of time and knew how to hunt and trap.
This mother beast was obviously more advanced and had greater fighting intelligence. Even Prof. Su doubted that it possessed a little amount of intelligence, and he also believed it was superior to the Killer Whales before doomsday because it had shown amazing fighting intelligence in several tidal attacks. For example, attacking the weak parts of Xiayuan safety zone, inducing some mutant beasts to trap the army and so on. At the beginning of the beast tide, when the military government knew nothing about mother beasts, they had suffered several major losses.
'The mother beast wants to run, so it wants the level-2 mutant beasts it controls to retreat…No! No matter what happens, we can't let it run!' Jiang Liushi said to himself. He was determined to complete this mission for his sister's sake, so how could he give up so easily? Moreover, Jiang Liushi really wanted to know the relationship between this mother beast and his mutant queen's egg.
At that moment, three level-2 mutant beasts in front of the minibus roared and turned to run as fast as possible.
"Those mutant beasts ran away? Jiang Liushi did it!" Hou Dingkun was struck dumb with astonishment, and then he felt sorry for a while. He guessed that his actions and lack of determination had left a bad impression in Jiang Liushi's heart. For many days, he had been carefully maintaining the relationship with the Shi Ying Squad.
"Oh, my god!" Ding Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was at a loss of words from shock. He had far underestimated the Shi Ying Squad. Apart from how powerful its members were, the modified minibus was enough to earn a name for the team in the whole Xiayuan safety zone.
"Captain! That minibus rushed out again!" A member of the Eagle Guard was surprised and shouted pointing in the direction of the minibus.
Ding Yi fixed his eyes, and sure enough, the minibus ran wildly to catch the running level-2 mutant beasts. "F*ckers! They are audacious in the extreme!" Although Ding Yi cursed, he admired the Shi Ying Squad from his heart.
"A gang of idiots! Do they want to give up on all these mutant beasts?" Lu Changyang was delighted after seeing that scene. Jiang Liushi's minibus had totally shocked him, and not even his brother could stand against it. If Jiang Liushi's minibus were to stay there, Lu Changyang would be on edge.
"Pass my orders! Collect all the wounded mutant beasts on the ground," Lu Changyang picked up the intercom and gave orders to all the teams.
He had noticed that at least of the wounded beasts had normal heads, which made it easier to slaughter them. As long as they could kill them, they would make a fortune.
However, when they were about to take action, Hou Dingkun shouted, "Hurry up and kill the injured mutant beasts! The Black Water Organization wants to take them for themselves! The last row of heavy trucks will stay here and block them!"
Hou Dingkun was an old fox, so how could he let them do as they wished? Shi Ying Squad had killed all those mutant beasts, so he believed that as long as he could collect them, Jiang Liushi would not mistreat him. At that moment, both sides confronted each other with daggers.
"Lu Changyang, you really let me down! In the end, what is more important? Completing the level-5 mission or those mutant beasts?" Lu Changfei killed one mutant beast beside him and said to his little brother. And then, leaving that sentence, Lu Changfei jumped ten meters away. His tiptoes were like drums striking the depths of the earth as he rushed wildly in the snow to chase the minibus.
