Chapter 523: Charge!

Jiang Liushi’s expression changed. ‘Black Hole!’

As soon as they had arrived, Starseed had detected some strong energy fluctuations, but they were so erratic that it could not pinpoint what they were.

After seeing the mutant snake, Jiang Liushi understood the reason immediately. The mutant snake had been crawling underground the whole time which made it difficult to find its exact location. At the same time, the mutant snake was completely different from the earthworms. Not only was it controlled by the Black Hole, but also a part of it had been assimilated.

“What’s this?” asked Lu Tianyu while looking at Jiang Liushi. He now knew what Jiang Liushi had been looking for the whole time. Then, he turned to look at Wan Yiling. What he saw shocked him greatly. Although Wan Yiling had calmed herself down, Lu Tianyu still caught the tinge of excitement hidden in her eyes.

“You knew that this monster was here, right? Why didn’t you inform us!?” asked Lu Tianyu angrily.

The mutant snake had killed several of his subordinates with its last attack. If Wan Yiling had informed them about its existence, maybe they wouldn’t have died.

Wan Yiling pushed her glasses and said, “Actually, I didn’t know what it was. If we hadn’t killed the earthworms, it wouldn’t have appeared…”

The more Lu Tianyu listened, the angrier he got. He hadn’t expected that Wan Yiling planned to use his subordinates as baits. Nonetheless, he tried his best to suppress his anger as it was not the right time to argue. The mutant snake was moving like lightning around the battlefield while spraying its deadly poison. The machine guns were fiery red from shooting non-stop at it, but all the bullets were stuck in its muscles.

Not only the War Squad’s soldiers but also the soldiers in charge of the machine guns needed to retreat. Its tail was extremely long, and the parked vehicles on the road would be swept into two sections if they were to stay there. Moreover, the black fog lingering around its body would get cover everything from wherever the mutant snake passed and then swallow them. After that, the mutant snake’s shape would get larger while the black fog would expand.

“I’m worried that this is a part of the Black Hole,” said Ji Xiangming suddenly.

Lu Tianyu was also worried. If their worries became true, it would mean that Black Hole had already infiltrated the Safety Zone under their noses. It was pretty evident that they didn’t know how to fight against the strange monster at all.

It seemed that the Black Hole didn’t want to just weaken them. All the attacks until now may be a Trojan Horse, hiding the real danger underground! While the mutant earthworms had been attacking, the mutant snake was hidden underground, absorbing energy and gradually growing in size. How could the Black Hole be so intelligent?

“We have to try our best to attack! We must preserve the mutant snake’s corpse!” ordered Wan Yiling.

“Secretary Wan, have you withheld us anything else about this mutant snake and the Black Hole?” asked Lu Tianyu asked. What if similar monsters had appeared in other districts?

“You just need to attack it. You don’t need to know such details,” replied Wan Yiling.

Lu Tianyu frowned as her answer annoyed him yet again.

At that moment, a strange engine sound came from the battlefield. Lu Tianyu turned around and saw that Jiang Liushi’s minibus had sped up and it was rushing toward… the mutant snake!

Although the soldiers were still shooting at the snake, nobody dared to stay close to it. However, Jiang Liushi’s minibus was charging at it in such a critical juncture. The minibus was smaller than any military trucks, and compared to the mutant snake it looked like a toy. Naturally, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it charging at the mutant snake. It was as if someone was throwing an egg against a rock.

Lu Tianyu may have witnessed firsthand the minibus’ devastating air cannon, but he was still worried as the mutant snake was really flexible and it could evade the attack easily. However, Lu Tianyu didn’t have the time to express his worries.

The minibus was moving at breakneck speed. In the blink of an eye, it had crossed such a distance that it was now only 10 meters away from the mutant snake.

The mutant snake also seemed to have noticed the strange fast-moving object. Initially, it had been swaying its tail without a specific target, but upon seeing the minibus, it seemed to have found its optimal target. Then, it raised its tail high and slammed it downward. The tip of the tail cut through the air, making a whistling sound, before a part of the tail hit the cement fragments and turned them into fine powder.

Nobody doubted that if the minibus were to be hit, it would be deformed and sent flying. And the people inside would either be instantly killed or get heavily injured. However, the minibus’ driver didn’t seem to have the intention of backing off and escaping.

Everyone stood agape while witnessing the rest of the tail that was going to pulverize the minibus.

Just before the tail was about to hit the minibus, Jiang Liushi suddenly made a maneuver, and the tail missed the minibus!

“It wasn’t hit!?” Lu Tianyu felt like he could breathe again. Although it was none of his business, he was still worried about them.

However, that didn’t mean that the minibus was safe. It was still very close to that mutant snake!

Wan Yiling was looking at the scene with a happy expression. She had heard that Jiang Liushi’s minibus was quite powerful. As a result, she believed that if Jiang Liushi could injure the mutant snake, it would be easier for them to get their hands on it. It was also a good way to test Jiang Liushi. General Zhang and Bai Jiayan had been all praising Jiang Liushi’s minibus to the point that even Han Yuan’s interest had been piqued.

Although Wan Yiling had repeatedly analyzed all the information they had gotten about it, she could still not believe it as she hadn’t witnessed it in action. It was indeed a good chance.

As the mutant snake lost its chance to obliterate the minibus, it got really annoyed. Then, it released a loud hissing sound in anger!
