Mercenary base.
In the meeting room..
The person in charge was holding a communication device in his hand. Through a special electronic signal and frequency, his communication device could be directly connected to the loudspeakers on the two large ships heading to the experimental island.
In other words.
He could still easily control the 120 mercenaries through the video and the communication device even though they were hundreds of nautical miles away.
He talked about the rewards first.
After the mercenaries were all riled up with bloodshot eyes and strong desire to kill, he knew that he had achieved his goal.
“Alright! Warriors! This is a 5S-level mission. There are countless mutant beasts on the island. As long as you are willing and capable, you can easily win ten thousand, a million, or even ten million dollars. Everything is within your grasp! Alright, from now on, I announce that the 5S-level hunting mission on the experimental island has officially begun!”
The person in charge kept talking.
The 120 people on the island had already been divided into six teams when he finished.
Each team had 20 people.
And each team had a team leader and a deputy.
Crashing sound…
The two large ships started moving again after the mission introduction was over. A
The ships retreated to a hundred meters away from the shore and anchored..
“This is a huge forest. Each of the six teams is here for money. The more prey we catch, the better. You can work together or split up and try your own luck. Let’s start now!”
After watching the two large ships left the shore.
Among the neatly lined up mercenaries, one black man stood out and spoke in an extremely excited voice.
It was as if he had seen the money waving at him.
The other mercenaries were also trembling from exhilaration.
There were even three teams that already followed their captains and charged into the forest before the black guy could finish his words. They shouted loudly.
“Everyone! Let’s kill!”
“These are just beasts. No matter how strong they are, they couldn’t withstand the bullets.”
“Let’s go! This is the best chance to earn money!”
The captains had no scruples left.
In the distance.
At least a kilometer away from the beach.
Around three meters of Ye Bei’s body was coiled up on the ground while his upper half erecting upright. He was dozens of meters tall and could easily look past the trees. Through his domain ability and what he saw with his eyes, every movement of the mercenaries on the beach was under his control.
The fastest team had 20 people.
They were about to approach the forest.
Nevertheless, perhaps because they were carried away by the rewards, they didn’t realize that there were mutant beasts hidden everywhere inside of the forest less than 100 meters in front of them.
“Take your weapons!”
“Be prepared to shoot at any time. It’s good to capture mutated beasts alive, but it’s safer to take the dead ones.”
Rustling sound…
They moved very fast.
The leader of the first team was a white man. he was the one who charged at the front, his face full of excitement.
He carried a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
And a submachine gun was pinned on his waist.
The submachine gun rattled against his body as he ran, but it didn’t affect his speed at all. It was obvious that he had been training for a long time.
His team members all followed closely behind.
They prepared their weapons.
And formed a straight line.
However…
They didn’t maintain such a speech. The team stopped abruptly after running for less than 100 meters.
The white guy at the front widened his eyes.
The members behind him began to shudder.
They had not realized the danger ahead, but now, they could clearly see that countless pairs of eyes were staring at them..
In the dark forest that was shaded by giant trees.
The eyes of those mutated beasts were glowing dimly with unconcealed menace.
“Mutated… Beasts! So.. so many mutated beasts! Everyone, open fire…”
Although the white man was momentarily stunned.
He soon reacted to the situation. He had been wandering between life and death for years and knew the importance of maintaining a clear mind. While shouting, he knew that it was too slow to load the rocket launcher. With a rumble, he threw the rocket launcher on the ground and picked up the submachine gun at his waist as quickly as possible.
A series of clattering sound…
Bullet shells flooded out of the gun.
The sound of gunshots echoed on the beach.
The other five teams didn’t have the time to go deep into the forest yet. They immediately stopped when they saw the first team open fire.
At the beginning, they were still a little puzzled, wondering why they had exchanged fire so quickly.
But the expressions on their faces changed n the blink of an eye.
Their excited expressions instantly froze.
The beaming smile slowly turned into fear and shock.
The muscles on their faces were contorted… and began to tremble.
Then, they started to step back involuntarily.
The reason was very simple..
Since the white man of the first team opened fire right away, which confirmed what Ye Bei’s statement, the mutated beasts that were still hesitating were convinced that all humans were evil. They stopped hiding in the forest and began to walk out.
1,000.
10,000.
20,000..
They were all mutant beasts.
A lion king that was the same size of an elephant!
An ant king that was the same size of a fully-grown goat…
Their bodies were bizarre from the mutation and evolution.
When these mutated beasts appeared from the forest at the same time and surrounded the 120 mercenaries… the atmosphere naturally became extremely eerie.
Clattering sound!
The submachine guns were still spewing out bullets.
The mutated beasts didn’t give the mercenaries any time to react. Their bodies ignored the bullets as they roared continuously.
Roaring!
Howling!
Their bloody mouths were wide open and let out all kinds of angry roars.
Rustling…
Then, the mutated beasts charged forward in a stampede and almost shook the entire island. They rushed ferociously toward the direction of the mercenaries…
The battle between the mutated beasts and the mercenary group officially began.
Fizz!
In the distance, Ye Bei was watching the battle calmly, his tongue flicking.
There was a hint of coldness in the depth of his eyes.
