At this stage, humans truly didn’t have weapons capable of inflicting any damage on rhe mutated beasts.
After waiting for a while and hearing the mutated beast’s noises gradually fading, Zhao Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
His mind wandered for a while before he fell into a deep slumber once again.
“Bang-‘”
“Bang-!”
“Ratatata—I”
A burst of intense gunfire awoke Zhao Yu once more.
He tilted his head to look down.
Not far in rhe woods, a group of humans was rushing towards him.
What’s happening?!
Zhao Yu’s drowsiness disappeared instantly as he stared wide-eyed ar the situation below.
“Is that?!11
Seven or eight humans armed with various firearms, were retreating while shooting at a strange creature over two meters tall.
The creature had an odd appearance, with a large wolf’s head in its center and two tumor-like protrusions on its shoulders that looked like additional smaller heads.
“Mutated beast?!”
“No!11
At first, Zhao Yu thought it was a mutated beast. But on second thought, mutated beasts are typically enormous, while this creature was only just over two meters tall.
If it’s not a mutated beast, why does it look so peculiar?!
From his memories, the wild animals of this world, although generally larger than Earth. They have clear distinctions between body parts, unlike this oddity.
lie noticed that the strange creature wasn’t as bulletproof as the mutated beasts. Bullets left b.l.o.o.d.y holes in its body, causing it to howl in pain.
“That howl, it sounds like a wolf?!’1
After another round of fierce fighting, the strange creature seemed to have had enough and fled the scene.
The humans below all sat down in relief.
Coincidentally; they were not far from the tree Zhao Yu was hiding.
“We finally got out…”
“The mutated beasts are terrifying…”
“They can even radiate other creatures…”
No wTonder the strange creature resembled a wolf. It was a wolf that had been radiated by the mutated beast and underwent an initial mutation, turning into a mutated wolf.
If humans were exposed to such radiation, would they also become such peculiar creatures?!
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zhao Yu noticed one of the humans seemed to sense something and looked up in his direction.
“What’s that?!”
A voice shouted, and the group quickly stood up, aiming their guns in the direction he pointed.
d.a.m.n. How is this possible? I have been discovered!
Zhao Yu was shocked. He quickly shouted, “I’m human. I’m human, don’t shoot!”
At this moment, Zhao Yu was genuinely afraid that these people would fire a probing shot, leading to his unjust death.
Although he had injected a gene potion, it was only the basic type. It might have granted him a bit of strength, but against bullets, his enhanced physique still wasn’t enough.
Zhao Yu slowly moved the leaves in front of him to reveal himself.
The people below visibly relaxed but still maintained their alert stance with their guns aimed at him.
“Do you have any weapons?”
“Throw down any weapons you have on you!”
The woman who had first spotted him, obviously was the leader of the group.
“I have two handguns and a dagger…” Left with no choice, Zhao Yu replied “Throw them down, muzzle pointing towards yourself. No tricks!”
The woman below made it clear that any extra movement from Zhao Yu might lead to his death.
Zhao Yu hadn’t expected to be discovered by others. In this wilderness, life and death seemed so unpredictable.
He took out all rhe weapons on him and under the watchful eyes of the group, tossed them down.
As rhe handguns. .h.i.t the ground, someone quickly picked them up.
The leading woman then said, “Now, climb down rhe tree…”
Zhao Yu had no choice but to comply.
Once he reached the ground, a gun was immediately pointed at his chest.
Before he could say anything, a rope was used to bind his hands behind his back.
Only then did the group lower their guns, and Zhao Yu got a good look at them.
There were seven of them in total: three women and four men. All were in their twenties, but their faces were fierce and scarred, clearly indicating frequent battles.
“What are you doing here?!’1
The leading woman stepped forward and inquired.
Now that he had a moment, Zhao Yu took a closer look at her face. She was surprisingly pretty yet a scar that marred her face and giving her a fierce appearance.
Tin from a town nearby, planning to go to Meng House Village to buy some food…11
After briefly heard about Zhao Yu’s circ.u.mstances, rhe woman continued, “What’s the situation in your town?”
“It was fine before. We could go to the town s eastern city to trade…”
“But a month ago, a mutated beast occupied the city. Our trading post was gone, and I lost the chance to communicate with others…”
Zhao Yu spoke truthfully. Most of the information he had came from rhe trading post.
Since the mutated beast arrived a month ago, he hadn’t encountered any other humans for a long time.
While there were many houses in the town, only his family truly resided there.
“Are there any forces or factions in your town?”
“None, just my family…”
Who else is in your family?!”
