Chapter 364: Chapter 150 Dominoes_2

However, during the post-escape debriefing, Lin Wang demonstrated an extreme understanding of the Legion Beast.

So his explanation of simply running without warning his teammates made a lot of sense.

Just like last time, the second person to actually turn around, after the escape master Ren Zhong, was not Si Mawan, but Lin Wang.

The third was Bei Lihui.

As for Pan Fenglian and Song Qianlian, who were already embarrassed by Bei Lihui, both were slower.

Song Qianlian was slowed down due to his jet ski inexplicably becoming sluggish.

Pan Fenglian, already absent-minded and with her jet ski being tampered with, was hindered by a double-edged negative buff, causing her one misstep to lead to every subsequent misstep.

She was quickly overtaken by Lin Wang, and then by Bei Lihui.

The time it took for her to fall behind and widen the gap was a full second earlier than last time!

This one second was like the first domino falling, immediately triggering a chain reaction.

Almost instantly, she was surrounded by more than twenty Level Four Ruined Beasts.

What came next was either a stroke of bad luck or the sheer number of beasts overwhelmed her reactive defense equipment’s performance limits.

A loud, tragic explosion was heard.

In just over ten seconds, Pan Fenglian desperately detonated all the bombs on her body, attempting to take the Ruined Beasts down with her.

But her wish was in vain.

Usually fearless and mindlessly charging, the Ruined Beasts, under the control of the Legion Beast, advanced and retreated as if they were a well-trained army.

Seeing her attempt at self-destruction, the group of beasts scattered immediately, resulting in the powerful explosion only barely knocking away a few sluggish Third Level Ruined Beasts or slow-moving heavy Level Four Ruined Beasts.

After killing one, the twenty-odd Level Four Ruined Beasts attacking her charged toward Song Qianlian, who was knocked off his jet ski and had to stay in place, fighting desperately, leaving some behind and splitting the rest.

The final situation was that more than ten Level Four Ruined Beasts besieged Song Qianlian, while over twenty Level Four Ruined Beasts fiercely pursued Lin Wang and Bei Lihui.

The Legion Beast’s pursuit force against the two had doubled in scale compared to last time!

As for the remaining Second and Third Levels, they continued to approach from all around the valley.

With Pan Fenglian no longer there to draw fire, the Legion Beast automatically adjusted the troop allocation, resulting in an increase in low-level beast forces blocking Ren Zhong, Si Mawan, Lin Wang, and Bei Lihui along the way.

These changes became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Although Lin Wang and Bei Lihui’s situation was slightly better than the certainly doomed Song Qianlian, they were still overwhelmed by the flying Ruined Beasts repeatedly striking the tails of their jet skis and their bodies.

Even so, Lin Wang continued to frantically send return support orders to Ren Zhong and Si Mawan through the squad command system.

Ren Zhong and Si Mawan, being unable to spare themselves, naturally could not respond.

No one expected that the first to collapse in this situation was not Ren Zhong, nor Lin Wang or Bei Lihui, but the second runner Si Mawan.

Just as Ren Zhong turned two corners, close to reaching the small hill from his last retreat, his communication system rang with Si Mawan’s piercing scream.

Ren Zhong quickly turned his head and saw Si Mawan’s thigh being brutally slashed by a Ruined Beast’s claw, tearing off a piece of flesh.

She had suffered this injury last time too.

However, at that time, her reactive equipment and mini-legion helped her fend off the pursuing Ruined Beasts, buying her time to escape successfully, and she distanced herself when Ren Zhong climbed up.

But this time, the number of Third Level Ruined Beasts besieging her was greater.

Facing the coordinated attack by the disciplined Ruined Beast group, her mini-legion couldn’t hold out.

In an instant, she fell into a hopeless situation, caught in an unbreakable trap.

She felt utterly desperate and frustrated.

At this time, she was already nearly five kilometers away.

According to the intelligence on the Legion Beast, once she broke out of this range, if the Legion Beast remained stationary, she would be out of its control of the Ruined Beasts, which would essentially mean safety.

With safety so close, she was about to fall before reaching dawn; how could she be resigned to that?

She cried out desperately in the squad communication to the front-running Ren Zhong, "Save me!"

Ren Zhong stopped and turned, using an amplifier to ward off two Third Level Ruined Beasts nearby, saying: "I do want to save you, but I’m too weak to do it!"

Si Mawan gritted her teeth, "I’ll give you money! Three hundred thousand!"
