Chapter 16
Investigate How These Pigs Came About?!
Su Qingqing resisted the urge to roll her eyes and explained, “My father asked me to come and take a look. He even asked me to inform him immediately if you were in danger.”
When Lin Ye heard Su Qingqing say this, he was immediately puzzled.
“Uh… I didn’t know your father and I were so close?”
Su Qingqing really could not help but roll her eyes.
“I was going to ask you!
“Shop Owner Lin!
“Did you know my father before?”
Lin Ye shook his head decisively.
“No, not at all.”
Bai Tao, who was watching the show from the side, glanced at Lin Ye and tilted her head to look at Su Qingqing. Then, she came to a realization.
“I understand!”
“What do you know?”
Lin Ye also looked curiously at this fierce loli.
“Could Shop Owner Lin be Dean Su’s illegitimate son?”
“Aiyo!”
As soon as Bai Tao finished speaking, Su Qingqing slapped the back of Bai Tao’s head.
“Woof woof woof!”
Seeing this, Little Flame also howled at the side.
Was this dog relying on its master’s status to act tough?
After dealing with Bai Tao, Su Qingqing originally wanted to say something, but Yang Wei walked over.
After casually glancing at Su Qingqing and Bai Tao, he turned his gaze to Blackie, who had yet to shrink.
“How long can it last like this?”
Lin Ye had previously asked the system if this was the bloodline talent of Blackie’s “ancient ferocious beast” bloodline.
“At the moment, it can only last for an hour.”
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Yang Wei nodded.
“I have something to tell you.
“Because the hole of an earth-burrowing worm appeared in front of us, more than a hundred mutated beasts had come out from there.
“I want you to help out nearby. There aren’t enough people there now. We might not be able to take care of everything.”
In the end, Yang Wei might have been afraid that Lin Ye would not agree and even added, “Don’t worry, we won’t send you to the front line.”
Lin Ye nodded.
“No problem.
“Alright, let’s go then.”
Seeing the two of them turn around and leave, Su Qingqing hurriedly followed Little Flame.
Seeing this, Bai Tao could only follow Su Qingqing.
Lin Ye, who was walking in front, did not persuade these two girls not to go.
After all, it was their decision to make.
Along the way, when Lin Ye looked at the people on the ground, his heart became especially heavy.
After transmigrating for a while, this was the first time he had seen the cruelty of this world.
In just five minutes, Lin Ye saw no less than 20 corpses on the way.
Some had even… been chewed on.
If not for the fact that he had barely gotten used to it when he was in the shop previously, Lin Ye felt that he would definitely be like Su Qingqing and Bai Tao now. After taking a few steps, he would have already started puking.
At this moment, the two of them had already arrived not far from the intersection where the mutated beasts had entered.
Looking at the huge pit in front of him that was five to six meters in diameter and the strange beasts of various shapes around the pit, Lin Ye’s horizons were broadened.
Fortunately, the few people Hong Zhijun brought happened to have bought four Ironback Pigs from Lin Ye.
Although these pigs did not have much attack power and its brain was ordinary, it had thick skin.
Moreover, the four people Hong Zhijun brought were mutants in the army.
Therefore, with the help of the meat shields, the four of them restrained more than ten mutated beasts.
Coupled with the help from the Mutant Association, some soldiers who had rushed over after asking around, and the Public Security Bureau, the situation was still optimistic.
However, in the center of the battlefield, there was a huge tiger more than three meters tall with bone spikes on all its joints, making Lin Ye tremble in fear.
At this moment, Hong Zhijun, who had already transformed, was holding a machete and fighting this tiger.
It was no wonder Yang Wei said that the combat bear was Hong Zhijun’s relative.
Now, the two of them could not be said to be very similar. They could only be said to be the same.
Unfortunately, the combat bear stayed in Lin Ye’s shop with the “communication soldier” called Chen Fei.
Otherwise, if the two of them could stand together, they would definitely be “brothers”.
In the afternoon, Su Hongcheng, who had also patronized the Linye Shop, was constantly using his earth-type mutation ability to cause trouble for this tiger.
From time to time, there would be spikes or cracks, making the tiger very anxious.
Then, after opening its mouth and accumulating strength for a second, this tiger was suddenly covered in bone spikes.
Seeing this scene, Su Hongcheng’s expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly shouted, “Hurry!
“Quickly hide behind the rock!”
As Su Hongcheng roared, he suddenly waved his hands.
Dozens of stone walls the height of a person rose from the ground in the surroundings.
Hearing Su Hongcheng’s roar, the Human Alliance soldiers and members of the Mutant Association who were still fighting immediately hid behind the nearest stone wall.
As soon as Su Hongcheng finished speaking, the bone spikes on the huge tiger’s body shot in all directions.
In the next second, the few people who could not dodge in time were covered in blood.
It was even the same for many surrounding mutated beasts.
This big tiger’s indiscriminate attack directly silenced the entire battlefield.
On the other hand, the four Ironback Pigs that had used the “Impregnable Wall” in time were not beaten into pig sieves, but they were still pierced with many bone spikes.
At this moment, they were whining.
Then, when this tiger saw that the situation was not good, it directly jumped into the cave.
It seemed that it had probably escaped.
Seeing Yang Wei easily block a few bone spikes that shot over, Lin Ye looked at the hole where the tiger had disappeared and asked softly, “Is that thing really a tiger?”
Yang Wei raised his hand and threw out a ball that flickered with lightning. It electrocuted a monkey that was about to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack until its entire body trembled. Only after that did he answer Lin Ye’s question.
“Yes, it’s a tiger. A level 5 Bone Spur Tiger.”
At this point, Yang Wei’s expression was a little gloomy.
“Logically speaking, such a thing shouldn’t have followed the earth burrowing worm in.”
Looking at the battlefield that had suddenly become controllable, Yang Wei felt a little frustrated.
The attack today was too strange.
In particular, although the big move of the Bone Spur Tiger in the end also took the lives of a few army soldiers and sheriffs, it was obvious that those mutated beasts had suffered the most from the spikes.
Half of the nearly a hundred mutated beasts were gone in an instant.
Some had already run to the streets, but one or two mutated beasts alone were clearly unable to cause any trouble after the army arrived.
As a result, Lin Ye, who had been called over to help, was completely unable to help out now.
Regarding this, Lin Ye was happy about it.
At the same time, in a meeting room in a certain base in Jiangzhou.
A middle-aged man in a brown uniform like Hong Zhijun was so angry that he slammed the table in front of him after seeing the Bone Spur Tiger jump into the hole and escape through the monitor.
“Why are Hong Zhijun and Yang Wei here?!
“And that Su Hongcheng from the Mutant Academy?!
“Huh? Why?”
The others in the house immediately fell silent.
“Also, what’s going on with those pigs? Did someone secretly take out the controller to use?”
At this point, the middle-aged man’s tone was filled with killing intent.
“No, definitely not!”
“The controller was only distributed to them this afternoon before the operation. It’s definitely impossible for it to be leaked.”
The middle-aged man closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.
“Investigate, find out how these pigs came about!”
