Chapter 113: Chapter 17: The Hunt (Three Updates)
The genetically modified humans surrounding Ye Qingdie had a change in their expressions as the motorcycles roared and simultaneously charged toward Ye Qingdie.
“Bang, bang, bang…” A series of bullets tore through the air, killing several people and causing the motorcycles to collide with each other, creating chaos.
“Get off.”
The cold voice of the Minotaur spoke as he stood up and walked toward where Xu Mo was.
The genetically modified humans abandoned their motorcycles and ran towards Ye Qingdie.
Several more shots cleared a path for Ye Qingdie, who intuitively rushed through the opening and continued running.
The genetically modified humans chasing her kept falling down.
One shot each, without fail.
Soon, a number of them lay on the ground.
These genetically modified humans obviously did not expect their adversary to be so ruthless.
Xu Mo had thought that coming to the world above would be more peaceful, but he was obviously wrong.
Since he was wrong, he would handle things the way he knew best.
Meet violence with violence.
He swiftly adjusted his sniper rifle, even managing blind sniping, ensuring certain death for anyone who approached Ye Qingdie.
The people on Deceit Street also watched the unfolding events, many of them quickly stepping aside.
However, on the opposite side from Ye Qingdie, someone cheerfully bounced toward the scene.
“Yo yo, is it that thrilling?” a crisp voice called out. It was Sun Xiaoxiao, Jiang Tong, and Su Rou.
They had heard from others at the academy that Instructor Lin Xi had run into some trouble, so they had informed each other and all rushed to Deceit Street.
They naturally saw Ye Qingdie, who they heard had become Lin Xi’s assistant.
The group immediately charged forward, Jiang Tong seemingly eager to show off, moved the fastest. His war saber slashed out, clashing with a stun baton, and with a flying kick, he sent his opponent flying.
Su Rou appeared with a gun in one hand and another on her back.
As he fired, the bullets turned into lightning chains, electrocuting the genetically modified humans who fell to the ground.
Sun Xiaoxiao excitedly rushed forward, barehanded. Her seemingly frail fists smashed into a genetically modified human’s face, knocking down his massive body.
“I’m really awesome,” Sun Xiaoxiao seemed very satisfied with her own punch.
“Bang.”
Her moment of pride was cut short as a Minotaur’s heavy punch came down. Sun Xiaoxiao raised her fists to block, but was pushed back repeatedly.
Seems she had celebrated too soon.
“Sneak attack.” Sun Xiaoxiao, puffed up with anger, charged again, only to see a bullet pierce straight through her opponent’s forehead. The Minotaur crumpled to the ground.
Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, hands on hips, somewhat annoyed, “Are you all really going against me?”
So frustrating.
When Xu Mo saw them arrive, he knew Ye Qingdie was safe. He stowed his gun and prepared to go find Lin Xi.
At that moment, a figure also climbed onto the rooftop, coming face to face with Xu Mo—it was indeed the Minotaur.
He held a curved blade in his hand, charging straight at Xu Mo with great speed.
Xu Mo also charged forward, drawing his War Saber.
Their blades collided instantly, each strike lethal.
The Minotaur was not only fast, but his blade was exceptionally quick and powerful.
With a loud crash, the two distanced themselves, the Minotaur fixing his gaze on Xu Mo, who then asked, “Where is everyone?”
“Bang.”
The Minotaur stomped the ground, causing the floorboards to tremble like an enraged ram, charging at Xu Mo with terrifying speed.
The curved blade seemed to create multiple illusions as it struck out.
Xu Mo raised his War Saber just as the blade was slashing through, slightly leaning backward. The curved blade passed right in front of him, perfectly avoiding the attack.
The Minotaur’s blade glowed like lightning, forcibly twisting back for another strike.
“Puchi…”
It was too late.
The blade light shimmered, as Xu Mo stepped forward, then a head with a Minotaur mask on it rolled on the ground.
War Saber re-sheathed, Xu Mo glanced down. Hughes had also arrived, and the battle situation was completely under control. There wouldn’t be any problems on Ye Qingdie’s side.
He continued to sprint forward, backpack on his back.
His perception spread out at full force, scanning every corner of Deceit Street.
The scenes inside the buildings on both sides of Deceit Street were all displayed in his mind, like movie scenes unfolding.
It didn’t take long before a spacious, abandoned room appeared in his mind.
Inside, he saw Lin Xi.
In the spacious abandoned room, which looked like a rundown factory, machinery debris was scattered everywhere.
Lin Xi stood with a cold expression, staring at a figure across the room.
Many people lay fallen next to her.
Her Source Power Level was B, which she had achieved upon graduation and was now close to surpassing. Such a level might not seem extremely strong within the academy.
But outside, she was considered among the highly skilled.
Therefore, capturing her was not an easy task.
Opposite Lin Xi, Lin Jian was tied up and locked in place, flanked by two genetically modified humans with bovine horns, their bulky frames pressing down on Lin Jian’s shoulders to immobilize her.
In front of her sat a man wearing a ghost-faced mask.
At that moment, he held a gun aimed at Lin Jian’s head.
Such a gun was irrelevant to Lin Xi, as at Source Power Level B, ordinary firearms could basically be ignored.
But Lin Jian’s head couldn’t withstand a gunshot.
Therefore, Lin Xi did not move anymore.
“Really powerful.” The ghost-faced man stared at Lin Xi, his eyes flashing with greed. She was spicy and cool, with a perfect figure.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t touch this woman.
“What do you want?” Lin Xi asked, looking at him, “If it’s money you want, I can give that.”
Many crimes in Deceit Street involved gene-modified people and were motivated by money.
Their status in Steel Dome City was low, so they needed a lot of money to change their status.
Moreover, money could buy high-grade Genetic Evolution Liquids.
In Steel Dome City, many powerful gene-modified people stood high, employing normal humans to serve them, and even played with beautiful women.
“You, exchange for her.” The Ghost-faced Man pointed his gun at Lin Jian.
This time, Lin Jian really got scared, her eyes filled with fear.
She had not expected to be kidnapped, and the ugly gene-modified people around her seemed eager to devour her.
The fear she felt was stronger than during her last car accident.
“How do we exchange?” Lin Xi’s face looked terrible.
If she let herself be captured, probably both of them would be in danger.
This situation was a dead end.
The ghost-faced man waved his hand, and two gene-modified people approached Lin Xi, holding slim metallic objects with strong electric currents flowing at the forefront.
“Don’t resist, or I’ll shoot her dead,” the ghost-faced man said.
The two gene-modified men moved the metallic objects close to Lin Xi’s body. Lin Xi clenched her fists and stared in front.
“Hiss hiss…” The strong current made her body twitch, with electric currents flowing all over her.
But she still stood there, not falling down.
“Really tempting.” The ghost-faced man licked his lips seeing Lin Xi’s twitching body.
“Increase the power,” he ordered.
Suddenly, a stronger current moved towards Lin Xi’s body, with even the ground showing electric flows.
Lin Xi’s body trembled non-stop, going limp.
“Bang…”
The sound of a gunshot and shattering glass occurred simultaneously. A bullet passed through the glass, hitting the heart area of a gene-modified person next to Lin Xi, who fell down.
“Hmm?” Everyone in the room looked towards the window.
A sharp whizzing sound came, and a Metallic Poker flew towards Lin Xi.
The Metallic Poker, as if it had eyes, flew past in front of Lin Xi, striking the head of another gene-modified person on her other side, embedding itself in his forehead, and he fell down.
A figure cloaked in a cape broke through the window, rushing towards Lin Xi.
Seeing Lin Xi unable to stand steadily, she fell backwards and was caught by the figure that rushed in.
Xu Mo immediately carried Lin Xi’s body to the side of the wall and then set her down, letting her sit against the wall.
As a B-level in Source Power, Lin Xi had very strong physical attributes; she should be able to recover after resting for a while.
The ghost-faced man, seeing his near success interrupted, his expression immediately turned ugly.
He shot directly at Xu Mo, the bullet whizzing as it flew towards Xu Mo.
Xu Mo turned his head, and the bullet seemed to slow down, stopping right there.
Reaching out his hand, Xu Mo caught the bullet in his palm and flung it out. A rushing gene-modified person was directly pierced through the brow, falling down.
“Advance.”
The ghost-faced man waved his hand, and Xu Mo pulled out several poker cards, clipping them between his fingers.
With crossed hands, the poker cards flew out simultaneously.
Suddenly, a series of whizzing sounds emitted as the Metallic Pokers spun.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…” The Metallic Pokers grazed the gene-modified people’s throats, whirling past, and soon blood rained down in the room.
Moreover, these Metallic Pokers swung in a chain, quickly taking down all the gene-modified people.
Only the ghost-faced man and a Minotaur behind Lin Jian were left.
Seeing Xu Mo still holding Metallic Pokers, the ghost-faced man pointed his gun at Lin Jian next to him, coldly threatening, “Put it down.”
Without any nonsense, Xu Mo’s Metallic Pocker flew straight out, soaring towards the three of them.
What did he care about Lin Jian’s life or death?
If she sought death herself, Xu Mo would not have the slightest sympathy for her, especially when she had also endangered Lin Xi.
For Xu Mo, if Lin Jian died, at least she would not cause such trouble again in the future.
The flying Metallic Poker filled Lin Jian’s eyes with intense fear.
Who was this person? He completely disregarded her life.
Was he really here to save anyone?
Of course, Xu Mo was here to save someone, but only Lin Xi.
Lin Xi also froze seeing this scene, not knowing that the person in front of her was Xu Mo.
How could Xu Mo be this strong?
The ghost-faced man hadn’t expected Xu Mo to be so ruthless, ready to kill so decisively.
Without time to think, he shot towards the front, trying to hit the flying poker card.
But the poker card curved, evading the bullet, and directly embedded in his throat.
The two Minotaurs, knowing they couldn’t survive, attempted to take Lin Jian down with them, preparing to cut her. But it seemed they were a step too late; the poker card slashed through their throats.
Blood spurted out, splashing on Lin Jian’s head; her eyes opened wide, filled with intense fear, as if she had experienced a nightmare.
