Chapter 214: Mutant Legion

In real-time footage, mutants wearing cone-shaped helmets are wreaking havoc in Shell City.

One-on-one, the Beiyang Corps had a strong suppression force on them. But the mutants kept avoiding the Iron Guards and specifically attacked the ordinary human soldiers holding crossbows behind the trenches, with a clear goal.

Cold weapons and crossbows can't hurt mutants at all.

The human soldiers all became dizzy, vomited, and bled under the radiation, and were unilaterally killed and broken through by the mutants.

Passive defense is very stressful.

Zhou Yi looked at this with a heavy heart: "Can mutants be cultivated in large quantities?"

“It is technically possible.”

Red Falcon said: "All you need to do is make adjustments during the enhancement surgery and implant two enhancements to create an inherently unstable mutant. This is easier than creating a healthy enhancer."

"The difficult part is control and command."

"Mutants themselves are a great threat to other lives, and artificial mutants are also a dangerous biochemical technology that is banned and opposed by the Mechatronic City."

"But many forces are still secretly conducting research in this area, training mutants into death squads. What the Mechanical and Electrical City can do is to downgrade the credit rating of these organizations."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask: "What is the rating of Shuanghe District?"

"The Twin Rivers Region was originally rated B, but has now dropped to C+. After this, the rating should drop further. This is also the first time that the Twin Rivers Region has publicly sent out a mutant army."

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

He has seen the destructive power brought to the battlefield by mutants through satellite signals.

The mutants are no match for the Beiyang Corps.

However, if their vital points were penetrated by the Beiyang Corps, they would detonate themselves, causing secondary casualties.

Many Tetsubei were injured by the self-explosion, and the radiation caused by the self-explosion rushed to farther places.

A little tricky.

"Zhou, there's a message from Lord Beidu."

Red Falcon reported: "There are about 40 mutants sent by Lord Mie Ding. They are mixed in with the enhanced soldiers. They all have the same helmets and leather armor, so it is difficult to identify them."

"Two mutants rushed into Shell City, but they were both killed. The people in the city were evacuated and dispersed in advance, so the damage was not serious."

"Bedouin managed to capture a living mutant, and the key to discovering it was the helmet on his head."

"That pointed helmet is locked onto the mutant's head, and inside is the Parasite Bush."

A picture appeared on the touch screen.

There is something on the screen that looks like a small branch.

“This is the Parasite Bush.”

The red kestrel explained: "It is a parasitic life form. It is fragile itself, but it will seek out powerful species to live in, in order to deter other predators."

"The Parasite Plexus itself has a high degree of adaptability and can keenly sense external energy and environmental changes. The brains of these mutants are connected to the Parasite Plexus, and they are actually controlling the mutants to fight."

"The spiked helmet is used to protect the Parasite Bush from harm."

"When the body is severely damaged and unable to move, the Parasite Cluster will stimulate the mutant's enhanced body without limit, which will then cause the internal light print structure to explode."

Zhou Yi's heart sank.

This is troublesome.

It seems that Mr. Mutant has already figured out a complete process from production to training of mutants.

This mutant attack is just the beginning.

Zhou Yi began to consider whether to recruit more Beiyang troops.

But now it is winter, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. According to Qian Su, you have to make an appointment in advance to hire, and it is difficult to find ready-made combat forces in winter.

If it doesn't work, Building No. 5 will have to be sent to participate in the front-line defense.

As Zhou Yi was thinking, he suddenly saw that the battle situation on the screen had suddenly taken a turn for the better.

Suddenly, the seahorse archers opened fire on the city walls, the phantom fish spit out glowing bubbles, and the two long-silent coastal defense guns also began to spew out dazzling flames, and the thick gun barrels shook violently.

The Beiyang Corps' archers, who had originally been silent, finally began to fire their knightly muskets.

With the long-range weapons unlocked, the enemy was beaten back by the overwhelming firepower. After the five red-haired monsters fell in a pool of blood, the enemy soldiers retreated like a tide and evacuated in a hurry on the warships.

Even so, two warships were unable to retreat in time and were hit by coastal artillery, and were directly blown up and sank into the Dead Sea.

In the rear, the Bedouin fleet also opened fire from the side at sea.

Farther away, Qin Xie's heavy cruiser escort was also firing guns and cannons, causing several ships to be filled with thick smoke.

In just over ten minutes, the situation was reversed.

Zhou Yi looked a little confused.

"what's going on?"

The red kestrel said, "I am also asking, wait a moment."

Ten seconds later.

The drone's electronic eyes flashed green: "I am Bedougong, Mr. Zhou, a big win, a big win this time!"

Bei Dugong said: "In this offensive and defensive battle, we killed 7 red-haired monsters, 23 mutants, 77 ordinary soldiers in the ground counterattack, and sank 1 enemy C-class battleship, 3 D-class battleships, and 3 transport ships. The results are huge!"

"After this, it will take the enemy longer to prepare and integrate before launching another attack."

Zhou Yi also reacted: "You solved the gray whale?"

"Yes, the Gray Whale was defeated and expelled by Captain Qin. Captain Qin was the turning point of this strategy." Bei Dugong exclaimed: "Captain Qin believed from the beginning that the Gray Whale must be dealt with, otherwise we would fall into a huge numerical disadvantage."

"He divided his troops into two groups, remotely operated the flagship White Dove, and led four ships to continue fighting on the defense line on the Dead Sea."

"On the other hand, he drove his private boat [Black Ridge] thousands of miles away, bypassing the high-pressure area and rapids, and dived alone from under the Dead Sea to get close to the gray whales and interrupt the whale songs."

"This gives us the opportunity to launch a major counterattack in the rear."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "Did you deliberately lure them to land and fight in the beginning?"

"Yes, Captain Qin and I both have the same idea. We must kill their manpower, and land combat is the best way. This method also has great risks, because the army of Lord Mieding is also an elite in ground combat, so the key is whether we can withstand it."

"I didn't expect them to send out mutants. It was indeed more dangerous than expected. Fortunately, the Beiyang Corps was very strong and withstood the attack."

Bedouin preached.

This tactic itself is not complicated. It is about taking advantage of the situation to lure the enemy into deep territory. The most critical point lies in Qin Xie.

He needs to defeat the gray whale at a distance and block the whale song before he has a chance to counterattack.

Otherwise, the result might be a catastrophic collapse. The public authorities would keep landing reinforcements, and the defending army would be beaten back step by step, or even completely routed.

Qin Xie used dual-line operation to remotely issue orders to the heavy patrol guard team using the machine stack extension in order to confuse the enemy.

As for how he did this, Bedou Gong had no idea.

Zhou Yi immediately turned on the communicator and found that it was not glowing anymore, and the energy consumption was very high. After replacing the energy pack, it finally started working again.

"Are you OK?"

"fine."

Qin Xie yawned over there: "There are several ships chasing me right now. I can go back to Shell City after I make a circle."

It sounds like there's no pressure at all.

"How did you do it?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"You know the characteristics of gray whales, right?"

"do not know."

Qin Xie said: "Gray whales are a large photoreceptor species that are born with high strength, poor eyesight, and a big appetite, but they are not smart, or have a very stupid brain."

"Adult gray whales are impossible to capture. Their whale songs allow them to defeat all kinds of enemies around them, and their strong bodies make them fearless in hand-to-hand combat. If they hadn't encountered Skywalker, they would have had no natural enemies."

"Some powerful forces at sea will try to abduct young gray whales with food and traps. They train them from a young age so that even when they grow up and have great power, they dare not resist."

"Although the Knights of the Dead Sea do not have gray whales, the Kingdom of Heaven does raise them. I have seen them at the Military Academy of the Kingdom of Heaven and I know a little about them."

"The song of the gray whale can last for a long time, which is a kind of suppression for both of us. So I drove the boat under the Dead Sea and those escort ships could not find it."

He said: "My ship [Black Ridge] was attached to the tail of the gray whale, and then Teddy temporarily connected with it and started "Inception".

"Half of the gray whale's brain will rest, while the other half will keep functioning. So Teddy has to grasp the right time for it to fall asleep. After it falls asleep, it affects the gray whale and makes it unable to distinguish between dreams and reality."

"In the dream, Teddy responded to it in the form of whale songs, saying that it had become a weapon of others and mocking it as a slave soldier... In short, it angered and stimulated it."

"Then the gray whales went berserk, stopped singing, and rammed nearby boats."

Qin Xie said: "Once the whale song stopped, the camouflage ability of [Black Edge] was quickly discovered, so now Teddy and I are evading and returning home on the boat."

"In Inception, I asked Teddy to sing a whale song to the gray whale, telling it that there are many gray whales in the distant high-pressure deep sea. That is the whale's homeland. This is not a lie, but a sea ballad from many years ago."

"But this is just a delaying tactic. The consciousness shackles formed by its years of breeding and training are difficult to remove. It is estimated that it will return to the side of Lord Mieding in no time."

"The ship behind us is firing like crazy again. I have to operate first...we'll talk next time."

Then the call was disconnected.

Zhou Yi relaxed a little.

Qin Xie does have something.

This 1% express delivery dividend is worth it.

Both Beidugong and the Beiyang Corps still have their own capabilities, otherwise the city would have fallen in this round.

Zhou Yi pondered.

The defense is still too passive.

We have to take action and attack to put pressure on Mieding Gong.

The best warrior choice is the concentrator, but Jiong He is now out looking for a fusion person and cannot be contacted for the time being.

Skeleton Wuyi is strong enough, but it is not known when he will be able to come over.

Have to wait a little longer.

At the same time, Red Falcon reported a piece of news.

"Zhou, the Mechanical and Electrical City has confirmed that the Destroyer sent mutants to attack civilians. The rating of the Shuanghe area has been downgraded to C- and included in the dangerous list. The risky mechanical and electrical optical printing and related equipment will no longer be sold to the Shuanghe area."

Technological sanctions are also a good thing.

……

Day two.

Emerald City suddenly said, "Commissioner, Building 6 reported that it has found a way to help the warrior crab evolve into a weapon master."

Zhou Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.

This is good news!
