From the Abyss of Stars

066. Extermination

066. Extermination

【You have triggered an emergency event—《Cannibal》】

【Type】: Event

【Duration】: 30 minutes (countdown starts upon entering combat)

【Mission Difficulty】: A

【Description】:

A weakling provoking a strong one naturally invites retaliation. But as a weakling, you harbor an intense hatred for this evil powerhouse.

For some reason, he is also quite interested in you.

Before he loses interest, inflict unbelievable damage on him and thoroughly humiliate this brutal and insane biochemist.

【Completion Conditions】:

A—For every 10% damage dealt to the "Cannibal," reward 20,000 experience points and extend mission time by 10 minutes;

B—In cooperation with Nimotin, actively repel the "Cannibal" within 30 minutes, rewarding the specialty 【Desperate Counterattack】

[Mutant Exclusive]—Facing your natural enemy, you are an undisputed warrior. Completing all conditions guarantees a high-level rare mutation option in the next mutation.

Pop!

Li Aozi's figure left a series of black shadows on the snow. Charging forward with gravity, he flew close to the ground like a swift.

This isn't a difficult technique, but only with a high enough 【Charisma】 attribute can one use gravity for rapid movement.

"Even without this mission, I'd still fucking kill that Cannibal bastard!"

Li Aozi's eyes reddened. Just thinking about that guy's tone and title made him unable to suppress his anger.

But no matter how angry, Li Aozi remained clear-headed.

The difficulty of this sudden event was A, because the Beta (β, second Greek letter) rank powerhouse was two whole levels above him, making him an elite even among the Four Nations.

On the battlefield, a Beta rank powerhouse could almost withstand a dense firepower network, taking on hundreds, and easily maneuvering through traditional troops.

Especially as a 【Biochemist】, they are almost natural enemies of early-stage 【Mutants】. Even if Azure Star hadn't fully understood Arcane abilities, any gene-attack skill from the opponent hitting him would be fatal.

Therefore, Li Aozi decisively pursued Zhu Baiya.

"Only by completing the mission to rescue the Abyss doctors and using the experience and attribute points can I reach over 40 points of 【Charisma】 with the 【Perpetual • Love Hunter】 effect."

This would give Li Aozi absolute confidence to crush the Cannibal.

Swoosh!

Li Aozi relentlessly pursued Zhu Baiya, who was running frantically ahead, unable to understand where this scavenger came from. He hadn't provoked such an existence.

Scavengers, Greening Base, and Metro Brotherhood are the three most notorious organizations in the Outer Territories. They have few members and loose structures but are all ruthless and inhumane lunatics.

Especially the scavengers, technical maniacs only interested in relics from the old civilization. If you dare to hinder their excavation and exploration, they will "help you understand" in the worst way possible.

Li Aozi remained silent, speeding along while intentionally staying a bit behind, making Zhu Baiya feel an intense pressure, as if he would be torn apart the moment he slowed down.

"Hey, bro, I've never messed with you!"

He couldn't help but shout back at Li Aozi.

Then he saw Li Aozi speeding up even more, flying close to the ground.

"Fuck!"

Zhu Baiya broke out in a cold sweat. He had no idea what Li Aozi was up to, but the increasing pressure made his imagination run wild.

He really didn't want to provoke the scavengers. This organization had a high proportion of superhumans, like a bone cancer—once provoked, you're done for.

They were spread around old era relics and would chase you down upon sight. Any populated area in the Outer Territories was built on old era relics.

Though there weren't many scavengers in the north, there were at least four or five hundred.

Zhu Baiya didn't want to be hunted by over 400 superhumans—these people had no human principles, no sense of honor, only interest in old era junk, and their behavior was worse than bandits.

As for finding the Cannibal? Someone as smart as him wouldn't provoke the scavengers for Zhu Baiya!

Li Aozi still ignored him. He just used his outfit to pressure Zhu Baiya.

Zhu Baiya couldn't run. He had to prepare those babies for the Cannibal, or the Cannibal wouldn't spare him.

And the scavenger? Li Aozi hadn't attacked him, and he didn't dare make a move.

Who knew if this sudden guy had helpers?

Zhu Baiya thought himself unlucky, wondering what he had encountered today.

Originally, after robbing the Abyss Humanitarian, he had everything he wanted.

Suddenly, the Cannibal came uninvited, urging him to steal babies, provoking the Sikkim settlement wanderers, making it impossible to return there.

Then someone claiming to be from the Rose Army came out of nowhere, destroyed four of his cars with an off-road vehicle, and crushed his spirit.

Next, Frost-Plated's Law IV agent directly stormed in, bombarding them indiscriminately, shattering his gang in the face of elite special forces from the Four Nations.

Now, who could explain where this scavenger came from!?

"The scavenger is still chasing me! Damn it!"

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

"I don't care. I'll load those babies into the car and run! Whoever wants to deal with it can deal with it. I've provoked enough people today, not the scavengers."

Both sides were not to be trifled with. Zhu Baiya steeled his heart and headed straight for the hostage basement.

Little did he know this played right into Li Aozi's hands.

After dozens of seconds of chase, two armed White Tooth gang members came into view. Seeing their boss rushing in, they raised their hands in greeting:

"Hey, boss, what brings you—"

Bam!

Zhu Baiya ignored them, kicking open the basement door and jumping inside.

The two armed men looked at each other:

"Huh? What's wrong with him?"

"Must be something urgent—"

Bang bang!

Before they could finish, their bodies were lifted and thrown into the sky by a fierce wind.

"Ah—"

As Li Aozi slid into the basement, the two screaming figures were blown far into the snowfield, vanishing without a trace.
