PFC Chapter 278 Tiger
Chapter 278 Tiger
As dawn broke, the mess hall began preparing everyone's meals for the day, and the last shift of soldiers went to rest.
Miao Yin came out of the space and ran into everyone having breakfast.
Yao Yue greeted her, "Sister Yin, would you like me to get you one?"
Miao Yin shook her head and refused, then walked out of the camp.
The weather was better today than yesterday, but it was a bit chilly as they were stationed by the river.
It's the 19th, and there are less than two days left before the armory opens.
For safety reasons, the military will clear the area surrounding the entire weapons depot over the next two days to prevent attacks by mutants in the most critical moment.
We also took the opportunity to conduct a site survey of the terrain to prepare for the subsequent retreat.
So after breakfast, Peng Si gathered the team and led them out to clean up.
Miao Yin did not go with them, but went to explore alone.
This matter is very important; she needs to fight a battle with absolute certainty.
She climbed up a reconnaissance outpost and looked down at the surroundings from above.
Because the weapons depot base is located in a depression in the mountains, it has a roughly circular shape, but the terrain is very vast. Standing at this height, you can't even see the end of it.
Aside from the largest weapons arsenal in the base, there are additional offices on the perimeter, and even a helipad where two helicopters are still parked, though it's unclear whether they are still operational.
Looking further south, you can see the direction they came from.
However, Miao Yin discovered that the armory did not actually have only one entrance. Apart from the Qingshui River, which blocked the entrance, there were still some other entrances visible from other directions.
Those places are all mountain roads, with many trees and large rocks as obstacles, which is very inconvenient for humans, but not so difficult for mutants.
She looked out at the lush forests; before the animals mutated, such forests were much safer than cities.
However, some animals are now also mutated, and it's unknown how many mutated species might be hiding in these forests.
Just to be on the safe side, all of these things inside should be dealt with as well.
Miao Yin jumped off the outpost and drove up the mountain.
Once they reached the mountain road, the car couldn't go any further, so Miao Yin had to go in herself.
After the apocalypse, the climate seemed to undergo some subtle changes, and many trees struggled to grow, with most withering away on the very day of the apocalypse.
The situation on this mountain is slightly better; you can still see quite a few green leaves and flowers.
Of course, there are also some special traces.
Miao Yin stopped under a tree, on which a fresh scratch mark was clearly visible on the trunk, which was as thick as a bucket.
She compared it with her palm; the scratch alone was thicker than her arm.
This is no ordinary beast.
Miao Yin placed her hand on the tree trunk, and black and red flames erupted from beneath her hand like a volcanic eruption. Starting from this point, they spread in the shape of a hurricane and swept across the entire area in an instant.
The raging fire engulfed all the vegetation and continued to spread into the mountains and forests, startling a flock of birds and beasts.
The massive fire naturally attracted attention, but one look at the distinctive superpowers revealed who was behind it, so no one bothered to disturb them.
When the flames spread to a cave, a booming roar like that of a beast resounded.
“So there it is.”
Miao Yin walked towards the flames. The mutated creatures in the burned cave were already impatient, standing on a huge rock, howling angrily.
It was a huge mutated tiger, much larger than the one we encountered at the zoo.
It was trapped inside the fire and could not move.
Only when he saw Miao Yin did he lower his body and assume an attack stance.
There are so few living creatures around here. The mutants living here would drool for miles if they saw even a few living people.
Miao Yin took out a long sword that she hadn't used in a long time and shook it: "It's been a long time since I've done anything. I hope you won't disappoint me."
The flames spread from this area to other places, and a cluster of flames burned the longsword.
Without the threat of flames, the mutated tiger rubbed its hands together, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged at Miao Yin.
The moment the massive body pressed down, Miao Yin swiftly dodged to the left, lowering her center of gravity. With a fierce swing of her flaming longsword, she severed one of the tiger's claws.
The injured tiger let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground, black blood gushing from its severed wound.
It raised its paw and licked the wound, and the bleeding immediately stopped and the cut began to heal.
But Miao Yin wouldn't give it that much time to recover. She pressed her advantage and left another wound on the tiger's shoulder.
"Roar--"
The mutant roared, its deep bellow shattering a large rock in front of it.
Miao Yin plunged her sword into the ground to steady herself and avoid being thrown back by the shockwave. This roar lasted for a full minute.
The tiger pounded the ground, its long tail whipping towards her. Miao Yin simply abandoned the long sword that was fixed to the ground, leaped up, and landed on the tiger's body.
The long sword was instantly smashed to pieces by the tiger's tail, leaving a mark on the ground.
Clearly, if it hadn't been facing Miao Yin today, its body would probably have been cleaved in two right now.
The tiger has golden fur, which has become very rough and prickly due to mutation.
Miao Yin stepped on its back, and a new longsword pierced its body from top to bottom.
Due to its size, the longsword could only pierce through rather than touch the ground; such an injury would be insignificant to a deformed animal.
Miao Yin braced her knee against the knife handle, using the knife to keep herself from losing her balance, while simultaneously pulling the chainsaw in her hand.
The saw blade spun, the chainsaw hummed, and she chopped down at the tiger's head!
Gollum-
The mutant's head fell off, its eyes still rolling, seemingly oblivious.
Without its head, the body beneath its feet stiffened and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Miao Yin jumped down from above, picked up the saw, and walked towards the head.
The body has lost its vitality, but the head is still turning. This crystal core must be inside the other party's head.
The head trembled on the ground, its tongue spitting out bright red blood, its expression filled with resentment.
Yes, that's the look in the eyes of mutants. They're always like that: indifferent, bloodthirsty, and filled with resentment, wishing they could kill every living being in the world and assimilate them into their own.
Experts from both past and present generations agree that these mutated creatures are, at best, living corpses that appear to possess something.
Miao Yin sawed open its head, dug out the golden crystal core, and absorbed it into her body.
She put away the chainsaw and stretched her limbs.
She hadn't done this kind of activity in a long time, and she could clearly feel her body temperature rising, with a slight heat in her breath.
The roars of wild beasts echoed in the distance, indicating that the fire had brought out some more of the hidden creatures.
Lady White Snake quietly slipped out of the bag on her body, grew larger, devoured the tiger, and then returned the long knife to Miao Yin.
Because it always stayed at the base, it behaved itself for quite some time and didn't come out.
Miao Yin flicked the knife and said to it, "Let's go, I'll treat you to something delicious today."
So, the man and the snake went on a killing spree on the mountain, killing all the troublesome creatures and even making use of their corpses.
Once the slaughter was over, they turned around and looked around. The fire had burned the entire forest to the ground, leaving only flying sand and stones, a barren wasteland.
Now there are no more hidden dangers on the mountain, and if any mutant species from the outside world were to get in, they would be able to see it clearly.
After stretching her legs, Miao Yin was in a great mood and waved to Bai Niangzi: "Come back, let's go down."
Having consumed many mutants, Lady White Snake became lazy and shrank back to the small pouch at Miao Yin's waist.
Reaching the edge of the cliff, Miao Yin jumped down, landed steadily, and headed back towards the camp.
