Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Save Others or Save Yourself"Son of a bitch!" Minister Fan pounded the table furiously, "Those damned bastards can’t do one decent thing in a day!"
"Country Y is in a dire situation; of course, they don’t hope for us to transition smoothly. Moreover, now that a new energy overlay zone has emerged, their high-level artifacts must have come from trades, right? Now who wouldn’t be green with envy?" Director Chang’s voice was chilling, "Occupation and plundering are engraved in their genes, handed down from their ancestors. It would be weird if they weren’t causing trouble."
"Find that person immediately!" Minister Fan commanded, "Spare no expense!"
"The enemy has high-level artifacts; I’m afraid they won’t be so easily dealt with." Chief Wu spoke into the phone, "Can we persuade Li Chun to help?"
"I’ve already sent someone to contact her," Nie Xuan replied, "David Pierce provided some clues, and I’ve contacted the armed police to
The Special Defense Department watched with hatred seething through their teeth, yet there was no choice but to turn around and leave.
Xu Huo also witnessed the collapse of the headquarters building. A massive cloud of dust billowed into the black rain, making the already murky visibility even worse; under the dim light, it was nearly impossible to see anything.
"The entire Special Defense Department building has been bombed!" Zheng Liang stared in shock, "This is like starting a world war!"
"What else do you think we’re doing right now?" Xu Huo, with his back to them, swiftly moved his gaze across several monitor screens.
The monitors, influenced by the aliens, now displayed only four screens with limited surveillance footage, yet he still saw Special Defense Department rescue personnel leading two children across the edge of the camera frame.
"I’m going out for a bit." As he put on his protective gear, he said to the others, "The security room won’t hold for much longer, there should be a swarm of feral rats nearby, use this time to find a safe place to move to."
"If I find a safe place first, I’ll contact you."
"We’ll go with you to do whatever you’re doing," Brother Liang immediately said, "We’ve all been rained on at least a little, and we’re okay so far, probably thanks to the antitoxin. It’s better to go out and do something than to hide here."
"I don’t mind if you guys want to go out and save people, but I can’t take you with me," Xu Huo directly stated, "You’re too slow."
Although everyone knew that sticking with Xu Huo was definitely the safest option, they understood that he didn’t want them slowing him down and reluctantly gave up the idea.
Equipped with his "oxygen supply," Xu Huo left the security room.
With wandering aliens in the vicinity, he quickly left the residential area, following the direction in which that Special Defense Department member had gone. He hadn’t walked far when he heard a young man and woman calling for help from the upper floors of a residential building.
Xu Huo only glanced at them before moving on; his "straight-line distance" ability allowed him to quickly search nearby streets, and soon he found the injured Special Defense Department member standing on top of a truck with two children, attempting to lift one of them into a third-floor window.
The two children wore raincoats that covered their faces, and another layer of protective gear on the outside—they appeared unpoisoned. In contrast, the player had black veins showing on her arms and neck, and her legs were bleeding profusely.
With their mouths covered by their hands, the children carefully tried to climb up while the woman helped. The sound of rain masked their movements, but no one on the upper floor responded, and a flowerpot knocked over from the balcony shattered, instantly drawing three aliens. They appeared to have been players transformed by the mutation, moving at incredible speeds!
"Women and children first!" The female player tossed one child up, then quickly drew a pink glowing stick and traced a pink circle around the truck. The first alien to step over the line immediately had its feet burned and, screaming in pain, lunged forward, clinging to the side of the truck.
"Hurry!" The child perched on the rail jumped into the balcony, and the woman lifted the second child, but an alien who had broken through the circle leaped on top of the truck. She had to choose between saving herself or the child.
With all her might, she jumped up, thrusting the child into the air, but as she fell back onto the truck roof, she pulled out her last grenade from her waist...
"Wait." Xu Huo appeared on the roof, held her hand, and raised the water cutter gun to shoot each of the three aliens in the forehead.
