Mutation

"Holy crap, what's that?"

Is it a person?

"No way."

"Could you adjust the image?"

"Quick, make the picture clearer."

Inside the Command Center of Year Two B Group.

The staff officers gasped in surprise.

soon.

The image on the big screen became clear.

This allowed everyone to see that above the clouds in the sky, there were 'ropes' made of tangled hair hanging down.

These 'ropes' suspended individuals.

There were elderly people and children, men and women.

Unlike the corpses that can be seen everywhere in the city, those were just skeletons.

These humans hanging from the sky seem not to have died yet.

They were plump and had rosy complexions.

The elderly were dressed appropriately, and the children were dressed in cute clothes.

The man was wearing a suit, and the woman was wearing a dress.

Some of them had kind faces, some were handsome and sunny, some were clever and cute, and some were delicate and beautiful.

These people, suspended high in the air, are constantly tossed about by the wind, like kites unable to control their own destiny.

But even in the fierce wind, they were still making various movements.

An elderly person is reading a newspaper, children are playing football, men are working, and women are putting on makeup.

They had the moves, but no newspapers in their hands, no footballs on their feet, no computers at their disposal, and no cosmetics in front of them.

Looking at it on the big screen.

The students were watching what felt like a stage play.

The fact that the stage is located high in the air inevitably makes it a bit frightening.

soon.

The dark shadow behind the cloud disappeared.

It seemed to fly to a higher place.

And so the 'ropes' hanging down from the clouds, along with the humans they suspended, disappeared into the clouds.

When nothing could be seen on the screen anymore, the students came to their senses and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

But then someone called out, "Where's the Gu Diao?"

turn out to be.

While they were distracted by the dark figure in the clouds, the wounded Gu Diao had already taken the opportunity to escape from the Battlefield.

But it was injured and unable to fly, so it could only run desperately on the ground.

Seeing this, Wang Lei, a second-grader, shouted, "I'll go after them!"

Judging from his position, his mecha was closest to the Gu Diao.

Instantly, the mech's engines roared to life, and it raced after the beast that was running like a rooster across the ground.

Just then...

Wang Lei ordered an alarm to suddenly sound from one of the instruments on the control panel.

He had already reached the edge of the Safe Zone.

Immediately.

The voices of the staff officers came through the communicator.

"Wang Lei, stop chasing! If we go any further, we'll leave the Safe Zone. Come back quickly!"

Wang Lei glanced at the distance between himself and the Giant Bird, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, as long as we don't go too deep."

"That thing is badly injured. If another team manages to take advantage of it, wouldn't we be getting the short end of the stick?"

On the screen.

A window appeared.

Xia Yun, also a Mech Master, appeared at the window.

"Wang Lei, don't do anything foolish."

"The behemoth is gone, so be it."

"You think there won't be giant beasts in the Forbidden Land?"

"Stop chasing!"

Wang Lei didn't even glance at his classmate. "So what if it's lost?"

"Xia Yun, you make that sound so easy."

"You come from a wealthy family. Even if you can't become Mech Master, you can still go back and inherit the family business."

What about me?

"My dad had a stroke before the Lunar New Year, and my mom's health is often problematic."

I also have a younger sister.

"If I don't become Mech Master..."

"Are we going to starve?"

"Besides, right now, out of the four teams, our group is at the bottom."

"I'm not going to fight now."

"When are we going to fight!"

With a loud shout, Wang Lei piloted his mecha into a park.

He crossed the Safe Zone!

At that moment, Wei Fenghua's voice rang out from the command center, "Wang Lei, immediately cease all operations..."

Wang Lei cut off the communication before he could finish speaking to Wei Fenghua.

Going against my own will!

After chasing them out of the park.

The Gu Diao in front seemed to have run out of strength.

It stopped.

Wang Lei was overjoyed upon seeing this.

The mech he was piloting drew a long sword, leaped into the air, and landed heavily.

With one foot planted on the Gu Diao's head, the long sword was reversed, its tip pointing downwards.

It was inserted.

He stabbed open the abdomen.

But the Gu Diao did not die.

Instead, it struggled desperately.

It used its broken horn to forcefully ram Wang Lei's mech.

Sparks flew as the mech was struck.

Under the influence of the ' Empathy System ', Wang Lei only felt discomfort in his chest, which was due to the Combat Suit's ability to reduce pain sensation.

Otherwise, Wang Lei wondered if he might faint from the pain.

He roared.

The mech pilot reached out and grabbed the Gu Diao by the neck, then drew his long sword and swung it horizontally.

A flash of Cold Light swept out.

With a flash of Cold Light, the Gu Diao's head and neck were completely separated.

The mecha stood up and raised the Giant Bird's head, its eyes wide open, high in the air.

It was as if they wanted to prove something to the world.

pity.

There are no spectators here.

At this moment, the energy spectrum of the Gu Diao disappeared from the Giant Beast Radar in the cockpit.

I did it.

Wang Lei closed his eyes, his smile slowly widening, "I did it!"

"I have slain the behemoth!"

He burst into laughter.

In his cheerful mood, he didn't notice that the Forbidden Land area had quietly become quiet.

Even the occasional roars of the giant beasts suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards.

It's still noon.

The light in the Forbidden Land area quickly dimmed.

This makes the outlines of everything blurry and ambiguous.

But this also highlights the intensity of the shadows.

Inside the driver's cab.

Wang Lei finally composed himself and, carrying the Gu Diao's head, prepared to return.

Suddenly, in the panoramic view, he saw shadowy figures deep within the Forbidden Land.

It looks like a group of people are walking this way.

Wang Lei glanced at the radar, but found no signs of life.

His scalp tingled.

Don't think about it.

He decisively piloted his mech toward the Safe Zone.

In the panoramic view, the surrounding light quickly dimmed.

It was as if night had come early.

Wang Lei couldn't help but glance at the time on the command console with some suspicion.

The time display shows that there are still 10 minutes until 1 PM.

Just then...

The mecha suddenly shuddered, stumbled, and almost fell over.

Wang Lei looked down.

A clump of black hair was wrapped around the mecha's right foot.

I must have tripped over that thing just now.

Just then...

The clump of black hair seemed to have come to life and consciousness.

Suddenly it began to wriggle, coiling around the mech's feet like a snake.

Wang Lei was about to use a long knife to cut the hair.

Suddenly I found that I couldn't move my arm.

I turned my head to look.

Dozens of strands of long black hair were tangled on the mecha's arm.

They swept in from nearby trees, lampposts, building windows, and all sorts of places, entangling the mechs.

Wang Lei's heart pounded wildly. He couldn't care less about anything else. He threw away the Gu Diao's head, picked up his rifle, and fired at the clumps of hair tangled around the arm.

Only a few shots were fired.

Wang Lei then felt a tightness around his neck.

It turned out that several clumps of black hair were also wrapped around the neck of the mecha.

at the same time.

The hair scattered in all directions, each strand constantly drilling into the gaps in the mecha, gradually penetrating deeper into its interior.
