Chapter 82: 066. Exterminate

[You have triggered an emergency event—"Infant Eater"]

[Type]: Event

[Time Limit]: 30 minutes (countdown starts after joining the battle)

[Mission Difficulty]: A

[Introduction]:

When the weak provoke the strong, retaliation is natural. Yet within you, the weak, lies a profound hatred for this evil powerhouse.

For some reason, he’s quite interested in you, too.

Before his interest in you is utterly depleted, inflict incredible damage on him and deeply humiliate this vicious and insane biochemist.

[Settlement Conditions]:

A—For every 10% of damage inflicted upon "Infant Eater," you will be rewarded with 20,000 Experience Points and extend the mission time by 10 minutes;

B—In collaboration with Nimotin, if you proactively repel "Infant Eater" within the 30-minute time limit, you will be rewarded with the Specialty [Desperate Counterattack]

[Mutant Exclusive]—You are a true warrior for facing your natural enemy. Upon meeting all the settlement conditions, your next mutation will certainly present a high-level rare mutation option.

Snap!

Li Aozi’s figure cast a string of shadows across the snowy ground, rushing forward with the direction of gravity, gliding close to the ground like a swift cutting through the air.

This was not a difficult trick, but only if your [Charm] attribute was high enough could you use gravity to travel quickly.

"Even without this task, I’m damn well going to kill that beastly Infant Eater!"

Li Aozi’s eyes reddened; just thinking about that guy’s tone and title ignited an uncontrollable fury in his heart.

But no matter how angry, Li Aozi was still sober.

The difficulty of this sudden event was A, as the Beta Rank powerhouse was two whole hierarchies above him. Even among the Four Nations, he was an absolute elite.

On the battlefield, a Beta Rank powerhouse could virtually withstand a dense network of gunfire, fight against hundreds single-handed, and toy with traditional troops as easily as spinning tops.

Especially as a [Biochemist], they could almost be deemed the natural enemy of early-stage [Mutants]. Even if Azure Star hadn’t completely researched arcane energy, just one genetic attack skill from the enemy landing on him would spell doom.

Therefore, Li Aozi decisively chased after Zhu Baiya.

"Only by first settling the mission of rescuing the Mingji Physician and relying on the Experience and Attribute Points from that part can I reach over 40 points of [Charm] with the effect of [Perpetual Love Hunting]."

With this, Li Aozi was absolutely confident he could thoroughly trounce the Infant Eater.

Whoosh!

Pursuing relentlessly, Li Aozi confused Zhu Baiya, who was frantically running ahead; he simply couldn’t figure out where this scavenger had come from, certain he hadn’t provoked such a being.

Scavengers, the Greening Base, the Metro Brotherhood—these were the three most infamous organizations of the Outer World. They had few members and a relatively loose structure, but each was mad and inhumane.

Especially scavengers, those technology fanatics only interested in relics of the old civilization. If you dared to hinder their digging and exploring, they’d aptly explain the first three characters of "sympathetic understanding."

Li Aozi kept silent, continuing to speed along while deliberately staying a little behind, making Zhu Baiya feel like he had a sword hanging over his head, as if Li Aozi would pounce like a starving tiger and tear him apart the moment he slowed down.

"—Hey man, Mr. Zhu has never crossed you, right?"

He couldn’t help but turn his head and yell at Li Aozi.

Then he saw that Li Aozi’s ground-hugging glide had sped up even more.

"Damn it!"

Zhu Baiya was drenched in cold sweat. He really didn’t know what Leo Aozi was planning to do, but the step-by-step pressing oppression was becoming more intense, making it difficult for him to not indulge in wild speculation.

He really did not want to provoke the Scavengers. This group had an extremely high proportion of Transcendents, akin to a clingy evil growth: once you annoy them, it’s all over for you.

Their people were scattered around various old-era ruins, and would chase after you on sight. Any populated area in the Outer World was inevitably built upon such old-era ruins.

Although there weren’t many Scavengers in the north, there were at least four to five hundred of them.

Zhu Baiya did not wish to be hunted down by more than 400 Transcendents—these people had no principles of humanity, no sense of honor, and were only interested in old-world garbage, whether stolen or bought, their behavior was even more bandit-like than actual bandits.

As for finding the Infant Eater? How could such a cunning person come to provoke the Scavengers just for his sake?

Leo Aozi continued to ignore him. He intended to use his own attire to exert pressure on Zhu Baiya.

Zhu Baiya couldn’t possibly run away; he had to prepare those infants for the Infant Eater, or else the Infant Eater would definitely not let him off the hook.

And the Scavengers? Leo Aozi had not laid a hand on him, and he didn’t dare make a move himself.

If he really did make a move, who knew whether this suddenly emerged fellow had any backup.

Zhu Baiya lamented his bad luck, wondering what had happened to him today.

He’d been fine, having robbed from Mingji Humanity; he had everything he wanted.

Suddenly, the Infant Eater arrived uninvited, tempting him to forcibly snatch infants, drawing the ire of the Wanderers from the Sikkim Settlement. This place was now off-limits to him.

Then a self-proclaimed member of the Rose Army showed up out of nowhere, driving his SUV and ruthlessly taking out four of his cars, denting his reputation.

Shortly afterward, an even more prominent figure arrived—Frost Plated, a Fourth Rule Agent, barged in and started bombarding them without warning. His painstakingly assembled bandit team was no match for the elite forces of the Four Nations.

Finally, who can explain where this Scavenger came from now?

"The Scavenger is still after me! Damn it!"

After running wildly for two kilometers through the snowy wasteland, Zhu Baiya was on the verge of collapse.

"I don’t care anymore, load those infants into the car, and I’m hitting the road! To hell with everyone else. I’ve provoked enough people today, I absolutely will not provoke the Scavengers."

Neither side was easy to deal with; Zhu Baiya steeled his heart and decided to be frank. He no longer took any detours and headed straight for the basement where the hostages were held.

Little did he know, this move was exactly what Leo Aozi had been hoping for.

After chasing each other for dozens of seconds, the figures of two gun-toting White Fang bandits gradually came into view. When they looked up and saw their boss coming quickly, they even raised their hands to greet:

"Yo, boss, how come you’re—"

Wham!

Zhu Baiya had no time to pay them any heed, kicking open the cellar door and jumping down into it.

The two gun-toting bandits looked at each other, puzzled:

"Uh? What’s going on with him?"

"Must be some emergency—"

Bang! Bang!

Before they could finish speaking, their figures were lifted off the ground and hurled into the sky.

"Ah————"

As Leo Aozi slid into the cellar, the screaming figures had already been swept away by the fierce wind, disappearing into the depths of the distant snowfield.
