The cyborg Ahu looked towards Xu Tui, Cheng Mo, and the others. At that moment, the fourth beast inexplicably fell.

This scene caused a fierce glint to flash in the cyborg Ahu's eyes.

ROAR!

Almost as soon as he thought it, the cyborg Ahu, who had been crouching on the small hill, suddenly leaped up and charged towards Xu Tui, Cheng Mo, and the others like a whirlwind.

Xu Tui instantly shivered!

Damn it, I didn't play it safe enough.

My hiding skill isn't maxed out!

I actually provoked this cyborg Ahu.

Cheng Mo trembled as he stood up again, "I'll block, you run!"

Xu Tui didn't respond to Cheng Mo; he didn't have time. His mind was racing.

Xu Tui didn't even realize it himself, but in such a dangerous situation, he felt no fear. Instead, he calmly considered possible emergency measures.

Xu Tui's impression of this cyborg Ahu was the shocking scene where he killed the soldier-uniformed security brother.

One slap, and the head was gone.

And he was incredibly fast.

In an instant, Xu Tui had a clear judgment of the situation about to unfold.

"I have one chance to attack, but no guarantee of success. You guys run!" Xu Tui said rapidly.

Cheng Mo didn't move. He chuckled, took half a step forward, bent slightly, and raised two tactical shields together, staring in the direction the cyborg Ahu was charging from.

"I-I'll help you!"

Gong Ling, who had just regained her composure, suddenly said.

War and suffering had caused this girl to grow rapidly.

Xu Tui nodded and stopped wasting words, focusing his attention entirely.

Opportunities were fleeting, and the cyborg Ahu was extremely fast. With this slight delay, even if the others wanted to leave, they wouldn't be able to.

The cyborg Ahu's pouncing form was already a blur of afterimages.

On the other side, An Xiaoxue, with blood dripping from her seven orifices and looking like a demon, was also going crazy with urgency.

If this Ahu personally attacked, there would inevitably be heavy casualties among the students.

Reinforcements should be arriving soon.

However, the students might not be able to hold out until then!

ROAR!

The moment the cyborg Ahu, trailing afterimages, lunged, he cunningly changed direction.

As he lunged at Xu Tui, he made a slight feint, causing Cheng Mo to shift his body.

His tiger-like tail instantly whipped out like lightning!

BANG!

Cheng Mo, holding the double tactical shields, was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. Blood spurted from his mouth. The first layer of the double tactical shields he held in front of him was directly shattered, and the second layer also cracked and broke apart.

Cheng Mo's scream sent a tremor through Xu Tui's heart.

But it didn't affect Xu Tui's intense focus.

Within three meters, Xu Tui saw the cyborg Ahu's eyes.

His right hand flicked!

WHOOSH!

Almost the instant Xu Tui flicked his hand, the cyborg Ahu's ears twitched violently.

As if by instinct, or perhaps a subconscious reaction, he jerked his head to the side.

A Buck Magnetic Iron Bead struck the cyborg Ahu's forehead and instantly shattered.

It was the Buck Magnetic Iron Bead that shattered.

As for the cyborg Ahu's forehead, it only had a red mark!

Xu Tui sighed.

Not only was this cyborg's reaction speed so fast, but his head was also incredibly tough!

He could react and dodge even from three meters away; he was truly too strong.

Xu Tui knew he likely wouldn't have another chance to attack.

But he didn't give up.

The cyborg Ahu, having sensed the danger and dodged, had his eyes blazing with ferocity.

Now, he finally understood the cause of death of the beasts he had influenced and controlled.

However, because of the dodge just now, the cyborg Ahu's pounce was momentarily halted, its hind legs touching the ground.

It only needed to pounce again like lightning to immediately kill the young man before it!

But, the instant the cyborg Ahu's two hind legs touched the ground, the grass and vines, half a leg deep, suddenly seemed to come alive. They violently wrapped around Ahu's hind legs, instantly coiling around them layer by layer!

The cyborg Ahu remained in its pouncing posture.

It was like attempting a jump only to find a very, very short rope tied to your feet.

Not only did the jump fail, but you were also pulled back to where you started. That feeling was incredibly uncomfortable.

The cyborg Ahu's pouncing force was immense, directly ripping up countless grass vines, along with their roots and soil, from the ground.

However, it was still significantly affected.

Its pouncing speed was weakened exponentially!

Originally, with this pounce, Xu Tui might not have had any chance to react.

But now, the cyborg Ahu suddenly discovered that the young man before him flicked his finger again.

Xu Tui didn't have time to consider what this sudden turn of events was about. It might be related to Gong Ling behind him, but there was no time to think about it.

An opportunity!

Xu Tui knew he had another chance to strike!

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air.

Too close.

Because of the cyborg Ahu's pounce, the distance between it and Xu Tui was less than a meter.

But, instinct honed through countless battles, or perhaps subconscious reaction, made the cyborg Ahu abruptly close its eyes, lowering its eyelids.

Its skin was quite resilient!

But at the same moment, the cyborg Ahu's gaze suddenly froze.

Its ear canals hurt!

And in that exact same instant.

An Xiaoxue, who was using an invisible shield to block the high-energy electric sniper plasma rounds, suddenly let out a piercing shriek.

Amidst the shriek, the hair tie holding An Xiaoxue's ponytail shattered inch by inch, and her long, glossy black hair stood on end.

An Xiaoxue was now bleeding from all seven orifices, her hair standing on end, a terrifying sight!

The next wave of three high-energy electric sniper plasma rounds, speeding towards her, suddenly turned around amidst the shriek. Trailing blue electric arcs, they blasted back towards their origin.

"Holy crap!"

From a distance, a terrified scream had just sounded when the three plasma rounds exploded into three bursts of blue and red light, annihilating the scream.

An Xiaoxue, looking like a demon, didn't even glance behind her.

She threw out over thirty small silver pellets.

As her gaze shifted, the thirty-odd silver pellets instantly emitted a sharp whistling sound as they flew towards their target.

A strong gust of wind hit Xu Tui's face.

In Xu Tui's senses, at least six silver pellets simultaneously blasted into the cyborg Ahu's hindbrain, cervical spine, and other vital areas.

And all of this actually happened a fraction of a second after Xu Tui had fired the Buck Magnetic Iron Bead into Ahu's brain through its ear canal.

Maybe not even a fraction of a second.

Xu Tui was stunned.

Suddenly, he began to gasp for air violently. It was only then that Xu Tui realized his back was already soaked with cold sweat, his clothes dripping wet.

"Heizi!"

Suddenly, Xu Tui shivered violently and rushed towards Cheng Mo, who had been whipped away by the cyborg Ahu's tail.

Cheng Mo had been sent flying over ten meters by that whip.

"Please don't be seriously injured!"

As soon as Xu Tui reached where Cheng Mo had fallen, he saw the man coughing violently, spitting blood, and struggling to sit up. He looked at Xu Tui, who was running over, and gave a silly grin.

Seeing that Cheng Mo was still alive, Xu Tui let out a sigh of relief.

With current medical technology, as long as Cheng Mo wasn't killed on the spot, broken limbs weren't a major problem.

Suddenly, Xu Tui saw Cheng Mo's eyes widen as he grinned, staring behind Xu Tui with an expression of extreme horror.

Xu Tui startled and quickly looked back.

If another cyborg showed up now, they would really be finished.

The moment he turned, Xu Tui saw that An Xiaoxue, after her previous outburst, had somehow lifted off the ground by two meters and was rapidly flying towards them!

Xu Tui was dumbfounded!

Flying without any equipment – was this still human?

The classmates who had just been rescued were also stunned.

At this moment, An Xiaoxue's large mask was gone, and her fair, pretty face was covered in shocking bloodstains beneath her high-bridged nose.

Her light-colored top was speckled with blood, and her hair stood on end, floating in the air as if a goddess or a demon had descended!

"Good, I'm not dead!"

An Xiaoxue flew rapidly in front of Cheng Mo. She glanced at him, and pain suddenly flashed across her eyes. She closed them, her hair fell, and An Xiaoxue herself plummeted from the low altitude.

A question quickly surfaced in Xu Tui's mind, "Will he catch her or not? Will he hug her or not?"

At this very moment, the roar of fighter jets howled from afar.

The cyborg Ahu was killed, An Xiaoxue fainted, and the emergency fighter squadron appeared, all happening almost simultaneously.

It was only a second or two apart.

The Earth Element Extraordinary User, who was being entangled by the mad tiger-like Liu Tianhu, looked extremely grim upon discovering Ahu's death!

"Useless, couldn't even handle a woman, and ended up killing himself. You ruined our big plan."

With the cyborg Ahu dead, their mission had failed.

In the distance, the beasts that had already captured many students suddenly lost control due to the death of the cyborg Ahu.

Some fled in all directions, while others began attacking the students.

They wanted to make the students their food!

As he was cursing, the sound of fighter jets arrived, and the Earth Element Extraordinary User's face turned extremely grim.

It hadn't even been four minutes yet, only about three.

The emergency fighter squadron had arrived a minute earlier than their estimated time.

This one minute made no difference to others, but for them, it was a matter of life and death!

"Withdraw!"

But at this moment, how could Colonel Liu Tianhu let him leave so easily? He fought desperately, disregarding the danger!

A B-grade Gene Mutant, an Earth Element Extraordinary User, this was a big catch!

"Execute emergency withdrawal plan three!" the Earth Element Extraordinary User roared.

Amidst the roar, four members of the traitorous organization let out desperate cries.

With their cries, the four suddenly exploded into four balls of intense fire.

Four small mushroom clouds rose from the ground.

In this situation, even Liu Tianhu had to temporarily retreat.

The Earth Element Extraordinary User, along with the remaining members of the traitorous organization, took the opportunity to retreat rapidly.

Along their retreat route, wherever they passed, powerful bombs exploded, blocking the pursuers.

They must have had an extremely thorough withdrawal plan.

In the mountains, smoke filled the air!

In the sky, the rapidly arriving emergency fighter squadron, still a thousand meters high, saw several black figures leap down and chase in the direction the Earth Element Extraordinary User was retreating.

As the smoke slightly dissipated, Liu Tianhu's subordinate generals were about to pursue again, but Liu Tianhu's stern shout stopped them.

"Pass on my orders: Build defensive fortifications on the spot.

Treat the wounded and search for the students.

Use existing heavy weapons to build a firepower line.

Establish a temporary night shelter base.

Await the arrival of the rescue troops."

Liu Tianhu's long spear instantly pierced the ground, and he glared hatefully in the direction the Earth Element Extraordinary User had fled.

At this moment, protecting and rescuing the students was his primary duty!

Well, there's a bonus chapter later. It's cloudy today, so here's some sunshine!
