Chapter 293 Poison
Chapter 293 Poison
This mutant was much larger than them, and its body, which occupied the entire passage, brought a heavy sense of oppression. Tu Hao made the first move, and his speed was as fast as the wind, heading straight for the opponent's head.
The sharp wolf claws approached the neck in a very short time, and just as they were about to cut it off, the black neck suddenly twisted and stretched.
Tu Hao cried out in alarm, for the mutated man's head had already turned around and was biting his shoulder from behind.
The fiery blade flew in and struck its neck precisely, severing its head.
Tu Hao kicked its body, using the force to get away from the mutant.
The head, separated from the torso, did not lose its life; instead, it clung to his shoulder like a stubborn plaster, its sharp teeth tightening and biting into his bones.
Tu Hao gripped its teeth, resisting the biting force, and blood suddenly flowed from his nose under the gas mask.
Miao Yin: "Take your hand away."
Flames flew in at just the right moment and wrapped around the head. As the flesh burned, the head let out a cry like an infant. Two seconds later, the head was burned to ashes.
She looked up and saw a large stream of green, jelly-like liquid gushing out from the spot where the flames had cut it. Then, a new head grew out.
Such rapid regeneration! Looks like I have to take it down in one go, otherwise it'll be an endless battle.
The mutant, having been slashed, clearly changed tactics, launching a powerful attack on them. Its stick insect-like limbs twisted and writhed as it relentlessly attacked her.
Flames blazed brightly in the corridor, the embers transforming into countless fire blades that repeatedly blocked the attacks of the mutants, each clash tinged with bloodshed.
The flying sparks clung to the flesh, burning upwards. The mutant would advance a step while the mutagenesis retreated a step, and vice versa. The entire passage trembled under the combined attack.
An arm swung out, and just as Miao Yin was about to reach out to grab it, a bullet suddenly flew by, interrupting her movement. She leaned back to dodge the swinging arm, pulled the pin on a grenade, and threw it at the attacker.
After an explosion, the passageway was filled with smoke, and countless pieces of debris fell from the ceiling.
With a blood-stained hand on Miao Yin's shoulder, Tu Hao endured the pain, his voice terribly hoarse: "Don't touch it."
Miao Yin turned her head and saw a large patch of rotting flesh and blood. The man's shoulders were so badly mangled that you could even see the white bone underneath. The man's lips trembled as he uttered two words: "Deadly poison."
Countless details flashed through Miao Yin's mind.
Biological toxins permeated the entire armory, the administrator turned into water, the mutated species inexplicably corroded and disoriented, and... the black monster that poisoned the first team.
So that's what it was.
The biological toxin that evolved after the mutation was so potent that even Tu Hao couldn't withstand it.
Miao Yin knew that Tu Hao was different from her. Although the Crying Wolf greatly enhanced his physical fitness and made him resistant to many things to a certain extent, it did not mean that he was immune to all poisons.
The mutant's fangs were full of biological toxins. If he weren't a superhuman, he would be dead, covered in sores, just like the people in the first squad.
She immediately took a bottle of alcohol from her spatial storage, broke it open, and poured it all onto Tu Hao's wound.
The alcohol made a sound similar to bubbling water when it came into contact with the skin, and the rapidly evaporating substance appeared as an eerie white color at the wound.
"Depend on!"
It hurt so much! Tu Hao's body convulsed from the alcohol, and he couldn't decide whether to touch it or not; the pain made his scalp tingle.
"Just endure it, there's no antidote for this poison."
Alcohol is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause. When the medic of the first detachment had his arm cut off, a large amount of alcohol was poured on him to disinfect the wound and slow the spread of toxins.
It can only be said that it can reduce the reaction of these toxins with the outside air, thereby reducing their toxicity, but it cannot stop the toxins that flow in the blood vessels and damage the internal organs. Next, we can only see how Tu Hao can heal.
If he can absorb this biological toxin this time, nothing will be able to poison him in the future.
"How come you're completely unharmed? Is this gas mask really that good?"
Since the appearance of this mutant species, the concentration of toxic gases in the air has risen sharply, and gas masks are completely ineffective. He even suspects that these biological toxins can be absorbed through the skin, making it virtually impossible to defend against them.
Even if he hadn't been injured, he would still have been poisoned today.
On the other hand, Miao Yin was completely unharmed.
A guess formed in his mind: "You're resistant to poison?"
"Are you envious?" Miao Yin asked with a smile.
Tu Hao: "..."
The conversation was brief; in the blink of an eye, the mutant charged forward again.
Miao Yin raised her hand, and the molten fire formed a huge vortex-shaped barrier in the air. The intense heat of the flames generated a powerful airflow, like a cannon about to fire, spitting laser-like flames at the mutants.
A pitiful scream, similar to that of a woman, rang out. The mutant was thrown dozens of meters away by the stream of flames, crashing through two walls and destroying the entire corridor, leaving only charred remains from the intense heat.
Tu Hao looked at Miao Yin with some surprise. He had been by her side for so long, but this was the first time he had seen her use this move.
Just how much more skill are they hiding?
The scalded mutant crawled out of the ruins, shaking its head; its two green eyes were charred black.
It opened its jaws and emitted a mixture of male and female voices: "Kill you! Kill you!"
Its muscles bulged and throbbed, and the charred parts suddenly burst open, oozing green pus. Large amounts of necrotic flesh fell off, and internal fibrous tissue grew wildly, giving birth to new flesh.
The liquid that flowed down visibly corroded the ground, emitting an extremely foul odor.
Even though they were dozens of meters apart, both of them could smell the dizzying odor.
This is not a good situation.
"It's started releasing poison," Tu Hao said, squinting.
Miao Yin made a quick decision: "Run backwards and get out of this passage."
If they keep attacking, all the load-bearing columns here will be destroyed.
The two turned and left, with the mutant close behind, chasing after them in a grand manner. It emitted green poisonous gas from its entire body, leaving corrosive marks on every inch of the road.
They quickly reached the end of the corridor. Facing the mutants charging towards them, Miao Yin took out a remote control and pressed a button.
Countless lasers shot out, trapping the mutant inside.
High-density energy instantly penetrated its body, and alarms blared throughout the passage, accompanied by a mix of red and green lights.
The mutant stared at them with venom, but it did not stop. It moved its body through the laser array, its body incredibly supple, healing itself with every cut.
The splattered bodily fluids landed on the machine and corroded the wires.
For a monster of its caliber, the laser array might hold it back for a while, but it certainly wouldn't kill it.
"Let's wear them down for a few rounds first," Miao Yin said.
The two turned left into another corridor, and sparks flew out from under Miao Yin's feet with every step she took.
Sparks of fire clung to the surroundings, and when the mutant arrived, the sparks transformed into countless sharp blades, attacking it from all directions.
The enraged mutant spewed out a large cloud of green mist, instantly engulfing the entire corridor.
Losing sight is a dangerous thing. Miao Yin waved her hand and threw out a large amount of flames, which collided with the monstrous creature until they hit it.
The moment it was seen clearly, the mutant had already opened its blood-red maw.
Tu Hao bit open the pin and took the opportunity to throw in two grenades. Mi Huo followed closely and detonated the grenades instantly.
"boom!"
The mutant lost another head, but that didn't stop it.
Its neck stretched out again, taking advantage of the smoke from the explosion to wrap around Tu Hao's waist.
Tu Hao was startled. He didn't care whether it was poisonous or not. He stabbed the wolf's claws into its neck and grabbed it. He pushed the neck outward with one hand to prevent pressure, and tore at it with the other.
Its neck, like a snake's body, tightened more and more; if Tu Hao hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been severed in the middle.
"Chop it down!" Tu Hao shouted.
A flame flashed, and Miao Yin swiftly severed its neck. But just like before, even without the connection to its body, the severed limbs could still move independently.
Miao Yin controlled the situation, fending off the attacks of the mutants while flames engulfed Tu Hao's waist, burning him until the bones were exposed.
Tu Hao grabbed the bones inside and crushed them, finally getting rid of the deadly thing. By this time, his waist was covered in blood.
Miao Yin's wall of fire once again repelled the mutant, whose skin had been completely burned away by the molten fire, leaving it relatively defenseless.
She pressed a button on the edge with her finger, and a mechanism inside the wall turned, extending rows of small nozzles.
The medicine, which had been prepared by the researchers long ago, was sprayed all over the mutants.
It seemed to have encountered its nemesis, letting out a painful growl, its six arms curling up as it hugged its body like a human, trying to escape but finding the potion everywhere.
Tu Hao clutched his wound, and looking at the scene before him, he seemed to understand something: "This is an antidote?"
Miao Yin shook her head: "It should be said that this is the original antidote."
This place was originally used to store biological agents. To prevent the leakage of chemicals, researchers had already placed a solution that could neutralize toxins on this layer.
This point was precisely recorded on Fang Ce's map.
So when Miao Yin learned that there was a mechanism that sprayed liquid, she realized this.
This mutant was originally born from a combination with biological toxins. Although the toxins are updated and iterated, Miao Yin bets that as long as this mutant has not developed resistance, the original antidote will definitely take effect.
Clearly, she made the right bet.
This antidote is the perfect counter to mutants.
