"Alright, this is the hotel you're staying at. I'll leave you here."
The man in sunglasses stopped the car and greeted the group.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Qin Gucheng thanked him and opened the door to leave.
Suddenly, the man in sunglasses called out to him, "Hey, wait a minute!"
Is there anything else?
Qin Gucheng stopped and turned around to ask.
The man in sunglasses rolled down the car window, took off his glasses, and smiled at Qin Gucheng.
"Although this is the first time I've met you, I feel you're not quite qualified to be a soldier."
"But I can sense that you have a strong sense of responsibility. It's only a ten-minute walk, and you asked the recruits about their physical condition twice!"
"Speak," she said, gently tapping his chest with her fist.
"You're someone who's good at making friends. My name is Lei Yong, let's be friends!"
Then he extended his hand.
Qin Gucheng paused for a moment, then extended his hand to shake his, " Qin Gucheng."
"Bye-bye, Qin Gucheng!" He then put his sunglasses back on, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
After he left, the group went up to the hotel together, took their room keys, and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.
Hela stood in front of a room, looked at the room key in her hand, and then at the room number.
After confirming everything was correct, I swiped the swipe to open the door and went inside.
Looking at the luxurious decorations in the room, Hela quickly washed up.
After failing to find any snacks, he lay in bed early and began to stare blankly with his eyes closed.
The next day, after getting up, the group went directly to the unfinished building at the address.
"Is the Variant here...?" Looking at the several unfinished buildings in front of him, and the surrounding area that had long been evacuated and was now empty.
Keke swallowed nervously.
"Yes, this is indeed it." Qin Gucheng glanced at the address and confirmed.
"It's not here," Hela suddenly said from the side.
"Not here? Hela, how did you know?"
Hela's mind raced for a moment, then she slowly spoke, "I didn't smell any Variant scent."
"Tch! I don't care about all that. If it's hiding, I'll lure it out!"
Yan Wusheng grew impatient, cracking his knuckles, and prepared to step forward and make a move.
"Wait, don't be impulsive." Qin Gucheng reached out to stop him.
"While the Variant are away, we should first scout out the terrain."
To avoid being at a disadvantage due to unfamiliarity with the terrain when the battle begins.
Yan Wusheng stared at Qin Gucheng for a moment, then lowered his hand, looking bored, and began to wander around the unfinished building.
Qin Gucheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, then gestured to Keke and Hela before beginning his exploration of the unfinished building.
Keke, trembling, enlarged a cube, then climbed onto it and flew through the air to observe it.
I got scared and came down after only a few seconds of flying.
The four of them wandered around like that until the sky began to darken.
" Hela, I'm so bored~ When is this Variant coming~"
Keke lay sprawled on an abandoned cement pipe, half-dead, complaining to Hela.
Hela opened her mouth slightly, about to say something, when she suddenly sensed something and stopped.
She looked around warily, her gaze finally settling on the ground.
"What's wrong, Hela!" Seeing Hela's reaction, Keke also stood up abruptly, her nerves on edge.
In Hela's perception, a giant centipede was slowly crawling from underground to the surface.
The ground trembled slightly, and Yan Wusheng, sitting to the side, felt the tremor beneath his feet. An excited smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"Everyone be careful! The Variant are coming!" Qin Gucheng put his hand on his knife and warned the others.
No sooner had he finished speaking Yan Wusheng rushed forward in a flash.
"Get out here, you son of a bitch!"
Countless sound waves gathered in his right hand, distorting the surrounding air.
Then he aimed at the location of the Variant and slammed down!
Boom--!
A sonic boom followed, sending large amounts of dust and bricks flying.
The flying dust made it hard for Keke to open her eyes.
My eyes...
Keke rubbed her eyes, slowly lifted her eyelids, and then began to tremble violently.
A giant centipede, its body entirely golden-black, about 1.5 meters wide and nearly 10 meters long, was violently blasted out of the ground by Yan Wusheng and landed heavily on the ground.
squeak--!
The Variant creature got up and roared at Yan Wusheng, who had blasted it out. On each section of its body, there was an eye the size of a basketball.
Instead of being afraid, Yan Wusheng's fighting spirit grew stronger.
"Come on, you bedbug! Die by my hand!"
After saying that, he quickly raised his right hand and then squeezed hard.
Snap!
It was as if he had crushed a bomb in his hand; violent sound waves blasted fiercely at the Variant.
The sudden attack caught the opponent off guard, striking them squarely in the head.
Yan Wusheng pressed his advantage, raising his left hand and unleashing another sonic wave.
But this time, the Variant realized what was happening.
At its very front, on the top of its head, an eyeball lit up, and the whole insect looked like a tunnel boring machine.
Its body instantly submerged, dodging the sound waves, and then it plunged headfirst into the ground.
Yan Wusheng sneered, and the sonic boom in his hand gathered again.
Locate the Variant species and unleash the attack again.
The Variant body flew out of the ground, where Hela had been waiting for a long time.
Pfft!
Two bone whips burst forth from behind, lashing straight at the Variant still in mid-air.
squeak--!
The Variant let out a scream as two deep gashes were slashed across its hard scales.
"Hey! Don't you dare make a move! Don't try to steal my thunder!"
Upon seeing this, Yan Wusheng actually started cursing at Hela.
Hela: ⚆_⚆?
Hela's bone whip stopped in mid-air, not striking again.
Yan Wusheng charged out again, gathering sonic booms in his hands, and knocked down the Variant on the ground at close range.
Just as the sonic boom was about to subside, the centipede's third eye suddenly lit up.
Then a powerful shockwave erupted instantly from the center of that eyeball!
Yan Wusheng's sound waves were deflected, and he was sent flying backward by the powerful shockwave.
"Damn it! What's going on?!" Yan Wusheng rolled twice on the ground and slammed his fist into the ground in anger.
But the next moment, the eyes on the Variant's tail lit up, and a bluish-green blade lashed out, slashing towards Yan Wusheng.
Several flashes of cold light appeared as Qin Gucheng's four straight swords collided with the bluish-purple blades.
The massive blade was instantly sliced apart, and Qin Gucheng's figure appeared before Yan Wusheng.
"The information is incomplete; it seems this Variant possesses other abilities as well."
And quite a lot..."
Looking at this Variant with twelve eyes, Qin Gucheng's expression became serious.
"It seems I can't just stand by and watch anymore, and you shouldn't think you can solve it alone."
Qin Gucheng reached out, wanting to help Yan Wusheng up.
The other person looked at his hand, turned their head away, scoffed, and then stood up.
