Chapter 234: Towards the Front is Where the Light of Survival is

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Under a gleaming light, only a few recruits saw, just barely, the appearance of these creatures.

The size of their bodies wasn’t much larger than an average human’s brain. One might think that the body looked like a rock, but really, it was its back that was covered with an actual mountain rock.

Qin Fen, who trained with a camouflage master for a long time also failed to see through the disguise, since there was an actual rock on top of it.

The same rocks hid the temperature of the creature, further deceiving Qin Fen who once learned anti-camouflage skills from Gale Riley.

The moment the creatures jumped off the wall. The other side of the cave wall was exposed.

It was a strange flesh-filled being stained with wet steam.

It had no eyes and a gap in the middle, perhaps a mouth used for eating. At it edges, a dozen of soft tentacles resembling an octopus began to wriggle rapidly.

These creatures were extremely fast. Being in the dark, the recruits could only fire towards the direction of any sound they hear.

The three-star martial artists responded quickly. More than half of the recruits had fired their shots and took down the strange creatures before the strange creatures tackled the face of the recruits.

But….

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that despite the fact that the gun in their hand was a real gun, the bullets that they used were practice-use bullet with no real lethality.

The reaction of the recruits who were able to catch a glimpse of the creature was slower compared to those who are blinded by the surrounding due to the fact that they were shocked by the hideous appearance of the creature.

Sounds of shots filled the area.

The creature was like a snowball in the winter during a snowball fight. Upon direct contact with the faces of the recruits, those creatures instantly used it’s weird tentacles to bind the recruits’ heads.

Qin Fen released a soft roar while the other recruits were still confused by the current situation and those weird creatures continuously flew from the wall and towards the recruits.

What on earth are these things? Qin Fen didn’t have time to think about it and proceed to aim Thunderstorm horizontally at the space above the head of Jin Kui and others.

Thunderstorm in the hands of Qin Fen was like the warhammer of the once invincible Li Yuanba on an ancient battlefield. Its tyrannical force smashed the weird flying creatures, and pieces of its flesh began to fall out of the air like rain.

Du Peng lifted both his hands and glided through the air as if he was dancing while the creatures continue to crash onto the ground after being turned into minced meat.

“What the hell?”

Xue Tian let out a weird scream while catching the flying creatures with his eccentric looking fishing net instead of using the usual sharp blades.

With AK47 in his hands, Xing Wuyi smashed the flying creatures that were directly in front of him.

Du Peng also exterminated the flying creatures. He slapped the strange creature that was binding the recruit heads beside him with his wrist.

Unlike the expected slicing effect from the Phaseless Water Bird Fist, the creatures released an explosive sound resembling a vigorously shaken water balloon from its tentacles and exploded like it was implanted with a miniature bomb upon contact with the fist. Being unable to hug the victim’s face, the creature fell to the ground and released a splashing sound in its body, followed by an explosion of the body.

“What the hell is this?”

Xue Tian heard the “Zhi Zhi” screams that resembled those screams of malicious spirits from the creature captive in his net. Using his katana, he sliced through the creatures that were binding the recruits around him and enabled them to once again breathe. Those wet and damp fleshy looking creatures that intruded the body via the nose, mouth and ear orifice suddenly become weak and fell to the ground.

Kyokushin Genichi, Zha Can and others single-handedly destroy the weird creatures that pounced towards themselves while at the same time removed the weird creatures on the faces of other recruits that were around them.

For a moment, terrible screams could be heard from the depths of the cave.

At the same time, some of the recruits who blocked the retreat route of Qin Fen and others made the same terrible screams.

The narrow cave made echoes particularly hard on the ears. Every sound made them feel wildly uncomfortable.

Chen Feiyu’s swift action saved more than twenty struggling people in the blink of an eye, but he could not save those distant companions.

As the screams echoed, the weird creatures that were once bound to the faces of the recruits fell to the ground on its rock-covered back, creating a loud impact that jolted the will of the mortal soul.

Disregarding the fear of being discovered by the enemy, Jin Kui and others took this opportunity to get the flashlights from their resource pile.

In the darkness, a number of light beams appeared.

The solemn recruits had now seen the most terrifying scene in their entire lives.

The recruits who were attacked by the creatures had a lot of fine looking worms wriggling quickly under their skin. Parts of the skin on their faces begin to twitch and bounce around like it was trying to pull the skin apart.

The widened eyes from the shock felt like it was being tightly squeezed by a strong force, almost like it was forcing the eyes to burst like a bubble.

The skin of their hands that was not covered by clothes also had dozens of worms that squirmed underneath.

The sharp shrieks of the recruits could not cover the watery sound created by the friction when the creatures wriggled under the skin.

Such a sight shook the spirits of the recruits who were sober.

Qin Fen really wanted to know what had happened. This is Earth! The birthplace of mankind! This is the planet earth that man has explored for ages, not an unknown planet that humans had just migrated to!

It’s definitely not Saturn as well, which converted from an original state of vaporization to a physical state of a sudden!

It is rumored that Saturn is a region that hasn’t been fully explored. Humans have discovered some other living beings on the surface — ones that resembled the mutants found on earth.

Qin Fen wouldn’t be as shocked if everything happening in front of him happened in Saturn.

However, this is Earth! Humans have lived here for countless years and there should no longer be any unknown region that was yet to be discovered!

According to the information published by the Federation, there were rarely any mutated living beings that could be sighted here. Moreover, these are strange creatures that were not even recorded in the Federation data.

Sounds of things bursting could be heard.

Ah…

Open wounds suddenly appeared on one of the recruit’s skins and streams of blood gushed out from it. The recruit let out a terrible scream as if he was being tortured in hell. He cried out so loudly in pain that he no longer made any sounds, and behind him were many other screams from the other recruits.

“Old Qin!”

Xing Wuyi pushed the crowd towards Qin Fen.

“Kill…” Qin Fen clenched his teeth together tightly. God knows if this strange scenario would develop into a dangerous one which would then threaten everyone’s safety. He reached out to take out a box of thunderstorm shrapnel used in actual battle from his waist and replaced the practice-use shrapnel clip.

Qin Fen took a deep breath and looked around his surroundings. These men who were agonizing in pain were the very same men who were comrades in this practice.

By all means, these men weren’t our enemies. Perhaps after the pain had subsided, the recruits that survived could be our comrade again.

Having that possibility in mind, if we were to shoot them now would only make us murderers!

There was also a possibility that these people might turn into monsters! But before they become monsters, they were still humans!

Never show mercy when it comes to killing an enemy!

But to kill comrades…

Chen Feiyu clearly felt that the merciless recruit who once slaughtered people like chickens during the Golden Triangle now was hesitant at this very moment.

“Qin Fen, we are still alive…”

Upon hearing Chen Feiyu’s faint whisper, Qin Fen’s finger pulled the trigger with a strong force.

Yes! We are still alive! And to ensure our safety, there is no choice but to fire! Otherwise, everyone may die…

Click.

Everyone witnessed an unprecedented shocking scene.

The huge Thunderstorm was so silent when it released its metal sheets, unlike typical firearms that create loud banging sounds when fired.

Thousands of metal pieces under the control of microchip rotated and revolved around a special track, forming a metal tornado.

The metal tornado created humming sound as it shot toward the barrel of the gun.

The recruits that were caught in the metal tornado no longer screamed as their body instantly turned into countless pieces of sliced meat, as if they were thrown into a huge meat grinder.

A tornado with a bright white metallic luster was tainted with a touch of bloody red at this moment.

The metal tornado was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, dozens of recruits had completely disappeared. Their minced corpses and blood merged with the metal tornado and continued to move forward in a high speed.

At this moment, the once bright white metallic tornado turned into a red metal tornado.

This tornado harvested life faster than a death god’s scythe. There wasn’t even time to catch a single breath and everything that was in the way of Qin Fen’s retreat was gone.

The metal tornado whizzed out of the cave and the metal blades no longer rotated. There was a bloody rain beneath them.

The screams in the depths of the cave had yet to stop. Qin Fen removed the empty Thunderstorm ammunition box and replaced it with a new magazine. He grabbed Jin Kui and threw him to Kyokushin Genichi, and roared, “Get out from here! ”

Thunderstorm now aimed toward the direction of the cave where hundreds of screaming East Asian recruits were.

What happened was so weird that it was hard to believe that those people survived safely.

Killing, though cruel, was the only way.

Whistle…

His finger had yet to touch the trigger when once again, more of those strange creatures flew from the surrounding wall.

These creatures were very fast. They moved in a uniform manner, rushing towards Deng Biao and the others who were retreating. With such a huge amount of these creatures, they blocked the entire passage.

Even if they emptied an entire M134 magazine, it was impossible to destroy all of the creatures which were now rushing towards them.

With no time to hesitate, Qin Fen rushed into the middle with his companions so that he didn’t need to be distracted about managing the dozens of weird flying creatures around. Du Peng, Chen Feiyu, Xing Wuyi, were the best people to rely on at this moment.

Aiming outside of the cave, Thunderstorm once again displayed its prowess. The sight of the same wind tornado of the previous massacre was recreated, but this time it was only the weird creatures that were killed.

Puff puff puff…

Du Peng covered Qin Fen from some of the weird creatures as fast as lightning but couldn’t protect more people around him.

There were another two new recruits who were entangled by more than a dozen of the weird creatures.

From the top of the cave, a weird noise came.

Qin Fen quickly replaced the magazine and quickly raided the cave hole with the crowd. Thunderstorm was in firing mode, but he did not dare to shoot towards the back as he just did.

Thunderstorm was extremely powerful, but it required a lot of energy for each launch. Because of its specific design, it required an additional step of replacing the energy column, which was very troublesome.

Even Qin Fen would take about ten seconds to complete such a task.

The weird creatures in this cave could complete two consecutive attacks within a second. Ten seconds for reloading was too extravagant.

The recruits who were bitten by the monsters should be killed as soon as possible, but only if they rushed out of the cave.

If the recruits were killed, Thunderstorm storm would run out energy before they rushed out of the cave…

Then there was probably only one foreseeable ending…

No one could safely leave this cave.

Perhaps there would be someone… Qin Fen was confident that he could rush out alive if he was alone.

But to abandon all your comrades and run away yourself? The drill instructors hadn’t taught him about this before, and even if they had, he would refuse to learn.

They only had time to catch a breath or two before more of the weird creatures flew from the wall, covering the light from the flashlights.

“Oh my god! How many of these things are there?”

Qin Fen cursed while Thunderstorm continuously roared, and once again another metal storm started up again.

Qin Fen suddenly discovered that he had already entered such a deep position in the cave. Even though he was at the back of the last team, he was still not close enough to the exit of the cave.

Thinking back, even when they entered the cave, there were so many of these creatures disguising as a rock on the wall.

Qin Fen wasn’t sure if these creatures had intelligence, but each time, these creatures gathered in a manner to form a wall that blocked the passage.

Then, the weird creatures that created the wall that blocked the passage would not fly from the wall again.

“Jin Kui! Come up!”

Qin Fen fired another shot, revealing his back to the slowest and weakest Jin Kui.

“No, you have been carrying so much…”

“Shut up and come up!” Qin Fen screamed, “Hurry up!”

Jin Kui heard Qin Fen yell and jumped on Qin Fen’s back, still frightened. He whispered in Qin Fen’s ear and said, “I am afraid of death, but I don’t want you guys to die with me.”

“Shut up.” Qin Fen lowered his body and whispered. “I don’t have the habit of abandoning my comrades. Since we came here together, let’s also go back together!”

“Qin Fen! Light!” Deng Biao screamed with delight, injecting his power into both his legs to speed up the sprint.

“No!” Qin Fen shouted and grabbed the excited Deng Biao. “That is a wall!”

A rock-like monster emitted a light mimicking the sunlight, like a mouth in the darkness.

Deng Biao had cold sweat running through his body. This trap was really realistic! Could it be that those signal transmitters were also one of their masterpieces?

Thunderstorm blasted the trap created by the weird creatures, but the light in front of them did not disappear. Behind those creatures really was a hole!

It was still unknown if the previous light was emitted from the creature’s body or if their body was able to transmit light by becoming something similar to transparent glass.

The road to survival was in front of them and without thinking, everyone started to rush towards the hole.

Qin Fen was the last to exit the hole. He leaped high into mid-air, turned around and once again release a shot into the bloody hole using Thunderstorm.
