Chapter 406: Chapter 182: Are You the Lin Baici that Director Xia Values?_1

The vast desert was awash with rolling yellow sands, under a burning, fierce sun.

"Captain, there’s someone!"

A young man with a Qi Fentou hairstyle spotted figures on a distant dune.

His name was Wu Zhaokun; he had been personally recruited by the Captain of the Third Division, Zhang Heng, and was being groomed as a key team member.

"Roughly a hundred people, and the Chief of the Ninth Division is there too!"

Wu Zhaokun possessed God’s Grace Hundred-Mile Eyes, granting him the ability to see far off into the distance: "Damn it, mummies have appeared!"

"You two, go take care of it!"

Zhang Heng commanded, casually exploding a mummy with a swing of his weapon.

These resurrecting monsters were such a hassle.

Zhang Heng preferred to solve problems with brute force, but today was an exception; it seemed they would need to use their brains.

He knew that without finding the reason these mummies couldn’t die, they would never truly defeat them.

"It might not be a good idea to approach since Director Fei is there," said a young man with a scholarly air worriedly.

"By the time that waste handles the mummies, everyone will probably be dead!" Zhang Heng urged, "Hurry up and go!"

In Zhang Heng’s opinion, aside from the top five divisions, the rest of the Haijing branch should be disbanded to free up the budget for the real powerhouses such as themselves.

"Alright!"

Wu Zhaokun laughed: "Ming Shu, let’s go. Let’s show Director Fei the strength of the Third Division."

Wu Zhaokun led the charge, sprinting off, swiftly as ever even on the sandy terrain.

The scholarly young man immediately followed him.

His name was Chen Mingshu, and he was from the same recruitment period as Wu Zhaokun.

...

"What created these monsters? Why don’t they die?"

Lin Baici quickly shook his head, observing the surrounding environment and the mummified corpses, trying to find some clues.

Seconds later, he saw at the 5 o’clock direction a mummy also charging forward, targeting only women or, more accurately, the weaker ones.

And although it seemed to rage madly like the others, after attacking one person, it didn’t continue to strike the next target like the other mummies but instead paused momentarily. It would rather target someone further away if they were easier to kill.

"This one is intelligent!"

Lin Baici’s eyes lit up as he pretended to fight and moved closer to the creature.

The closer he got, the higher his chance of a successful strike, but to Lin Baici’s surprise, the mummy actually dodged him.

"..."

This confirmed Lin Baici’s suspicion that there was something amiss with this one.

"Yue Yu, target that one!"

As Lin Baici spoke, he threw his Bronze Sword.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Tooth zipped through the air, skimming the ground and racing towards the mummy.

The mummy executed a nimble roll, successfully evading it.

"It’s noticed us!"

The mummy leaped like a fish jumping over the Dragon Gate, attempting to bury itself into the desert sands with hands combined.

Hua Yue Yu reacted quickly. Seeing the Bronze Sword flying towards a mummy, she swiftly aimed her Voodoo Staff at it.

Boom crack!

Chains of lightning burst forth; pale blue electrical arcs tore through the air, striking the mummy.

Boom!

The mummy’s body immediately stiffened, black smoke billowing around it, leaving charred traces on its surface.

Crack!

Lin Baici, in a wild dash, caught the returning Dragon Tooth and launched it once more.

This time, the Bronze Sword found its mark, entering the back of the mummy’s head and piercing through its skull.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Muscle Buddha charged in, seizing a mummy that had rushed at him and hurling it forward.

"Huh?"

Fang Tianhua was puzzled to see Lin Baici suddenly hammering down on a mummy, wondering whether its ugliness had offended him, or whether it was a love rival.

But in an instant, Fang Tianhua dismissed the thought; with Lin Baici’s appearance and the stature of a God Hunter, attracting girls would be a breeze for him.

Others should be the ones envious of him.

"Where do you think you’re running?"

Lin Baici clenched a Giant Locust Leg, vaulting over twenty meters in two leaps, descending from above to slay the mummy.

"Die!"

The Giant Locust Leg struck the mummy’s head.

Meat Shattering Strike!

Bang!

The mummy’s head shattered into fine sand, with its neck and a large portion of its shoulder also breaking apart.

...

Fei Xiao fought with all his might, dashing back and forth to attack the mummies, hoping to draw all their attention to him and buy time for everyone to escape. But there were simply too many mummies, and their offensive power was shocking; if one were to be caught by them, they were as good as dead.

"Captain, we need to find a way to kill these monsters, otherwise we’re wasting effort!"

Fang Tianhua was anxious.

They were fine, but ordinary people were dying, and the more who died, the more it proved their incompetence. Normally, it wouldn’t matter, but the Third Division was right there watching.

He didn’t want to lose face.

"I know!"

Fei Xiao thought to himself, do you think I don’t want to? But these monsters had only appeared for a few minutes, and he feared they hadn’t revealed their full strength yet; thus, gathering sufficient and crucial information seemed akin to a fool’s dream.

Plus, saving people required him to be distracted.

"Trouble!"

Fei Xiao furrowed his brow. This was why he didn’t like to take part in rescuing ordinary people.

"Captain, Wu Zhaokun is coming!"

Fang Tianhua shouted loudly.

Fei Xiao turned his head and sure enough, two people were sprinting towards them.

Damn it!

Does Zhang Heng look down on me that much?

Does he think a pair of rookie chickens would be stronger than me, the captain, and able to take down these mummies?

Fei Xiao felt a sense of indignation boiling inside him, and so the intensity with which he attacked the monsters increased even further.

He wielded a machete, and after chopping off half of a mummy with one swing, he followed up with a backhand strike. Based on past experience, this move would cut through the mummy that had just reconstituted itself.
