I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

"I'll go in and take a look first."

Wen Yi said as he led two soldiers and pushed open the door.

The yard was silent. Under normal circumstances, if someone broke in, the defense system would have sounded the alarm.

However, there was neither an alarm nor any guards at the scene. Wen Yi walked through the yard unhindered and arrived at the administrative office building.

The doors and windows of the administrative building were closed. Wen Yi made a gesture and two soldiers stepped forward.

Then the door was slowly opened, raising a lot of dust. It was not difficult to see that this place had been abandoned for a long time.

Tables and chairs were scattered all over the hall, and the walls were covered with traces of fighting. There were large splattered black stains on the door and floor of the reception room.

After the reception room, there are two staircases, leading to the second floor and the basement respectively.

Wen Yi made two gestures, then carefully climbed up to the second floor...

-

Qi Yan and the others waited outside for a while, but there was no signal from Wen Yi for a long time.

From time to time, startled birds flew away not far away, adding a touch of tension to the silence.

"You will form teams of ten and enter the rear of the base from three directions to investigate. Report immediately if you find any situation." Huo Linyuan made arrangements.

The team of thirty people quickly split up and advanced in three directions.

Since arriving at Helka Star, Qi Yan and Huo Linyuan's way of communication has become online communication.

Qi Yan watched the team slowly walk away and asked through the dialog box: "What should we do next?"

"Let's go to the street first." Huo Linyuan looked down at him.

Just like the place they came from, there was still no one on the streets in the city center.

They walked into a dilapidated building that was filled with junk and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Just as they looked around and were about to leave, the dark shadow hiding in the corner suddenly came silently behind Huo Linyuan.

Qi Yan keenly sensed something was wrong and subconsciously turned the Xiaocang around.

In a flash, before he could see how Huo Linyuan moved, he heard a loud noise and saw the black shadow being kicked against the wall.

Aled approached the black shadow in surprise, and at this time Qi Yan also saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly.

He was a dark-skinned man. It might not be accurate to say he was a man, because he was three times the size of a normal man and had sharp fangs.

The overall appearance was similar to the monsters in the movies Qi Yan had seen in his previous life. Not only did his muscles bulge all over his body, his eyeballs bulged out, and there was saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"Is this... a mutant?" Aled said uncertainly.

As the name suggests, mutants are humans who have undergone mutations. Once, when humans were on the verge of extinction, some biologists fused the genes of humans and animals.

Although humans gained animal abilities and evolved as a result, there was ultimately an extremely strong backlash.

The result of backlash is mutation.

People who have mutated will not only have their physical features transformed into those of monsters, but their minds will also degenerate into those of wild beasts that only know how to fight.

The "person" in front of him obviously no longer had human thinking. He struggled to get down from the wall, but was suppressed by the transparent barrier in front of him.

"The mutants disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, why do they appear here?" Alaid was a little confused.

But then he overturned his own statement: "No, since the appearance of mermaids, human genes have long been changed. Ordinary gene fusion is impossible to break through the genetic barrier and cause mutation."

"That is to say, this is not a mutant, but a deliberately created monster." Coming to this conclusion made Aled feel a chill in his heart.

Qi Yan drove the Kokura closer, wanting to see it more clearly.

At this time, Huo Linyuan, who had been paying attention to the door, suddenly said, "Someone is coming."

Shortly after he finished speaking, a dozen men in soft armor rushed in.

"Who are you?" the leading man asked harshly, while assuming an attacking posture.

Aled walked up to the man and said, "We are military investigators. Tell me what happened here and what happened to 'him'?"

he asked, pointing at the monster on the wall.

The leading man glanced at the wall in the direction he pointed, with a cold light in his eyes.

Not getting an answer, Aled thought the other party didn't believe their identities and was about to explain further.

But at this moment, Huo Linyuan suddenly grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him behind him.

At the same time, a sharp arrow pierced through the place where he had just stood and directly hit the wall.

Seeing Alaid dodge, more than a dozen people, led by the man, raised their weapons and rushed forward.

"Find cover." Huo Linyuan left this sentence and went forward.

After a few people came to face each other, people kept falling to the ground wailing.

Seeing that they were no match for Huo Linyuan, one of them shifted his target to Alade.

Just as the cold blade was about to fall, a green vine snapped and whipped him, sending him flying.

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment. He knew that the Ogura had strong attack power, but he didn't expect that the small tentacle used to replace the hand could have such a strong attack power.

After realizing this, Qi Yan also joined the battle, and whenever he got the chance, he would whip with his little tentacles from time to time.

Soon, more than a dozen people lost their combat effectiveness.

Huo Linyuan stepped on the back of the leading man with one foot and said in a cold voice: "Where are the troops stationed at the base?"

"No, I don't know."

Feeling the pressure on his back gradually increasing, the man coughed up blood and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Huo Linyuan retracted his strength but did not let him go.

"All dead. You don't know yet, this place has become a living hell. It won't be long before you all die here. Haha..."

As if he had found his support, the man laughed with glee, his eyes flashing with madness.

Huo Linyuan retracted his foot, not paying attention to his words, but looking at him coldly: "Take me to find your leader."

-

In the cave under the city, men and women were sitting on the ground in groups of three or five.

In the center of the cave, there was a metal table and several chairs. A burly one-eyed man was sitting on the chair, looking at the light screen with a gloomy look.

At this moment, the guard standing at the entrance of the cave suddenly spoke.

"Zhao Lei, why did you come back alone? Where are the others?"

His voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked towards the cave entrance.

Zhao Lei, the leader who attacked Huo Linyuan and his men before.

At this time, there were still bloodstains and bruises on his face, which immediately aroused the vigilance of others.

The one-eyed man even pulled out his gun.

Before Zhao Lei could answer, Huo Linyuan pushed him aside and walked in.

Someone in the crowd immediately cursed, "Zhao Lei, you traitor, you actually brought people from the military here."

The one-eyed man pointed his gun at Huo Linyuan and said, "You dare to break into my base? I think you are tired of living. What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don't you capture him?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward.

Because Huo Linyuan's aura was so powerful, even if he did not release any mental power at all, just standing there made people feel that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Damn trash!" The one-eyed man slapped the table.

Then he fired at the people next to him: "Come at me, or I'll kill you!"

With his intimidation, no one dared to hesitate any longer. They raised their weapons and rushed towards Huo Linyuan.
