Chapter 222: Chapter 210: Fairy Tale Fifteen

...

...

Everyone was stunned.

"This...this is too much..." The redhead struggled greatly to stammer a few words. In his eyes, this was... self-detonation. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and fiercely shifted his gaze towards Bai Xiong because he cruelly realized—why would elite members like those from the Giggling Bird Squad form a team with someone like Chen Xiao... Could it be that they were cultivating a madman with a screw loose on purpose, so that at the crucial moment, they would let him rush out to his death?

But he then dismissed his own idea... because although Bai Xiong was still expressionless, one could tell from his eyes that he, too, was in shock and had not recovered yet.

Well...yes, Bai Xiong was also dumbfounded. Although he had anticipated this day would come, when it actually arrived, he still found it somewhat unbelievable, "Could it be...Chen Xiao finally...played himself to death?????"

...

While everyone was scared out of their wits by the scene before them, Brother Decadence seemed to sense something... He looked perplexedly towards the edge of a nearby building, where there was a large pile of disgusting, freshly scattered flesh covered in white ooze and still emitting wisps of green smoke.

"There...there seems to be something over there!" he said blankly, pointing in that direction.

Bai Xiong immediately realized something... Although he didn’t know the reason, if the saying "A scourge lives for a thousand years" holds any truth, then it was plausible for someone like Chen Xiao to achieve immortality... Yes, he definitely wasn’t dead.

So, just as Brother Decadence finished speaking, Bai Xiong dashed out of the building and hurried to the place Brother Decadence had pointed out, desperately pushing apart the squishy pile of flesh~~

Underneath...

was the skinny body of Chen Xiao.

...

Note, it was a body, not a corpse... Yes, Chen Xiao was not dead, because Bai Xiong clearly saw his chest rising and falling slightly, he was breathing with difficulty...

At this moment, Chen Xiao looked particularly wretched. His bulletproof suit was slashed with cuts all over from sharp teeth, and the lining had burst open from the explosion, forming large patches of char. Underneath the clothing, his body was covered in wounds, muscle flipped outward, each one deep and bone-visible, heartbreakingly horrific. Clearly, they were torn by the sharp teeth lining the mouth of that maggot woman.

But strangely, besides the wounds inflicted by the teeth, the explosion seemed to have left no other marks on his body... At the same time, Chen Xiao looked as if all his strength had been drained, turning his face deathly pale, and he could hardly even open his eyes.

"What’s happening?" Bai Xiong noticed this anomaly immediately, but he didn’t have time to ponder what was happening because he saw Chen Xiao struggling, twisting his bloodied body, trying to pull something out of his pocket with the last bit of his strength?

Bai Xiong quickly understood and reached into Chen Xiao’s pocket, from which he pulled out a small box...

The box was made of iron, plain without any markings or letters. Bai Xiong guessed right away—it was the "Concentrated Body Repair Capsule," that Grade-A drug!!

Although he and Song Xuan didn’t know what they were doing for a long time after the containment fail in the Kelandi research area for abnormal organisms, having lost contact with Chen Xiao, he was aware that his teammate had participated in the elite competition. As for the prize, which was this Grade-A drug, it was also registered under the team’s inventory at that time, so naturally, he had known about it all along.

Bai Xiong didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately opened... Inside lay three dark green capsules. He picked one out, pried open Chen Xiao’s mouth, and "puff" stuffed it in. Then he hoisted Chen Xiao up, turned his head, and ran back the way they came.

The others were even more flabbergasted. They didn’t understand how Chen Xiao could still be alive in such a situation, so they all looked at the unconscious Chen Xiao as if they were looking at a monster... Er, now wasn’t the time to observe a mental case, but rather to look at him as one would a strange creature.

But then, everyone realized something...

"Don’t worry about that now, let’s just get away from here as fast as we can!" The dispirited guy closed his gaping mouth and turned back to his teammates to say.

With such a commotion, the fiery monster a few streets away couldn’t have possibly remained unaware...

Sure enough, just as his words ended, Bai Xiong’s phone began to ring.

Bai Xiong used his free hand to activate the speakerphone, and Song Xuan’s voice once again came through, "It’s heading your way, I’ll try to delay it!"

Her voice was fading in and out, accompanied by strong winds, indicating she was moving quickly. Right after she spoke, the call was abruptly ended.

This situation was expected by everyone. Without delay, the group swiftly left that place of trouble.

It is worth mentioning here... those chunks of maggot-infested beauty, which had been blasted everywhere, began burning without any flames... just like when Kelandi and the Banjieer siblings died! Soon, the sticky sludge had vanished, and where the explosion had taken place, a piece of paper lay quietly in the middle of the road.

At this moment, the armored and prosthetic energy of Egg Brother seemed to have recovered. With a quick stride, he dashed to the paper, scooped it up with one hand, and then turned to catch up with the rest of the team.

Of course, at this moment, no one cared to see what was written on the paper; it was probably just another childhood-ruining fairy tale. The urgent priority was to find a suitable place to hide.

...

...

"Is there water nearby?" The dispirited guy shouted while running. This was the first thing he thought of, with such a massive fireball, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to look for a place with water.

"You had a map when you came... there’s no water near this town!" The engineering guy complained... tapping a few times on his goggles.

While the radar’s dynamic detection capability was smashed, the basic mapping functionality hadn’t been damaged.

"Straight ahead... seems like there’s a factory!" He quickly added.

"Doesn’t matter... get there first then figure out what to do!" The dispirited guy exclaimed.

Since there were no water sources nearby and the town had been deserted for years, the underground pipelines were surely clogged with silt and waste. Even if there was a trickle of water, this group couldn’t possibly start digging a hole on the spot to search for it... Under these circumstances of settling for the next best option, a factory might have some use... Maybe they had a complete fire and electrical prevention system.

Bai Xiong naturally had no objections. It was undoubtedly riskier to run around in this chaos, so it would be safer to deal with the fire person by finding a place to settle down. So, he nodded in agreement with the conversation between the dispirited guy and the engineering guy, and carried Chen Xiao along with the rest to the factory.
