Chapter 73: The Gradually Complicating Situation

Merely cutting open the ribs to release gas was not enough; he also had to stab a knife in the head to ensure the opponent’s absolute death.

Xiao Fen’s action was beyond Sabova’s expectations, but her main focus was now on the giant monster that was preparing to move, so she could only turn a blind eye to Xiao Fen’s almost cruel approach.

Was it really cruel?

Xiao Fen didn’t think so; not to mention whether a human’s vitality would increase after turning into a monster, even if nothing had changed, Xiao Fen still had to nail the Withered Flower in his hand onto the former Vice Speaker’s head.

What he valued were those maggots rapidly withering and dying under the cover of the new black patterns.

The mission said not to let a single monster go; now, besides that pizza monster, Xiao Fen had already dealt with one; as for whether those maggots counted as monsters, anyway, for the current Xiao Fen, better to kill by mistake than to let go.

Those maggots obviously did not expect that a weapon would emit such intense poison and corrosiveness, and this corrosion process came so rapidly.

When they realized something was wrong and prepared to escape, their bodies had already been melted and rotted by the toxin produced by the Withered Flower, growing together with the Vice Speaker’s face, unable to detach.

The toxin quickly spread everywhere along the Vice Speaker’s entire body; when Xiao Fen pulled out the Withered Flower, this guy who was still shouting crazily just now, like a fanatic, could no longer say a word.

Xiao Fen did not relax at all; after the Withered Flower’s poison injection ended, he stabbed the Vice Speaker’s face again; this stab was enough to make all bystanders secretly suck in a breath of cold air.

However, the effect of Xiao Fen’s stab was very obvious; those disgusting bugs had basically all withered and died.

Not long after, this once very burly body began to collapse softly to the ground like a noodle.

The Withered Flower had completely corroded Tubrushev’s bones, finally making him unable to stand.

While putting away the Withered Flower, Xiao Fen turned his head and swept a glance at those councilor’s subordinates, including the other councilor who had been threatening Sabova just now; at this moment, these people were incredibly quiet, and some even started to tremble in their legs.

“Open fire on the monster, you bunch of idiots; are the bullets in your guns just for show?”

As soon as the voice fell, an AK not far away started to roar; the huge sound made this quiet environment extremely noisy.

With Sabova taking the lead, more subordinates of the councilors turned their guns and opened fire on that huge monster.

Although the sky had gradually become dark, and places further away could no longer be seen.

However, that monster was really too big; within a distance of tens of meters, the target could be hit without careful aiming.

Therefore, the gunshots never stopped; after lasting for a minute, before the monster could completely move its legs, it could no longer withstand the impact of these bullets and slowly fell backward.

“Don’t go over there; that guy isn’t dead.”

Xiao Fen loudly reminded Sabova, who was preparing to go forward; holding the dagger in his hand, he quickly rushed up.

While passing Sabova, Xiao Fen said in a low voice: “Watch those guys; don’t turn your back to them.”

Sabova froze slightly, then nodded and answered in a low voice: “Okay.”

After saying that, Sabova let go of the passage, walked to the nearby car, and stood sideways facing those subordinates of the councilors who had also stopped fire, waiting for the situation to develop further; it looked like Sabova was changing the magazine, but her movements were much slower than before.

Another reason Xiao Fen did not let Sabova continue firing was that he needed to kill this monster himself to ensure the completion of the mission.

Although a Native killing the target might count as Xiao Fen’s mission completion, Xiao Fen did not want to take this risk.

His movements were faster and more fierce than when he faced Sabova; precisely speaking, when facing humans, even knowing the opponent was a Native, Xiao Fen would hold back a little, of course, except for those who threatened his life.

On the contrary, if he encountered a monster, Xiao Fen would not hold back any strength; killing them as soon as possible was the only way to make himself safer.

In a few seconds, Xiao Fen had already gone around the outer side of this huge body to its head part.

Before this, Xiao Fen had never seen clearly what the head of this monster was like, and now, the head of this guy lying on the ground had become somewhat blurred.

A few powerful AK shots had created large holes in this guy’s head, and fluid whose specific color could not be seen in the dark was gurgling out from these holes.

Seeing these bullet holes, Xiao Fen had the most direct understanding of the so-called “poison bullets” of the AK.

It was said that after this kind of bullet pierced the skin, it would shatter and constantly tumble inside the softer body, finally creating a huge internal wound that was very difficult to clean up; there were rumors that one hit from such a bullet was enough to completely ruin a human’s arm.

And now, the damage of such bullets to the monster was far greater than Xiao Fen could imagine, and this could also explain why this monster, which looked soft on the surface, fell down like this under the bombardment of hundreds of bullets without even conducting a normal battle.

Indeed, bullets of modern rifles were originally designed to effectively kill soft targets.

Xiao Fen smiled; the monster’s head part was equivalent to the size of a human, and now, apart from constantly flowing out those dirty liquids, it seemed to be slowly failing; what Xiao Fen had to do was to accelerate this failing process.

Facing a bullet hole, Xiao Fen suddenly stabbed the Withered Flower in his hand into it.

He could feel that the monster under his hand suddenly trembled violently; after a while, when the toxin of the Withered Flower spread all over the monster’s body, this trembling slowly stopped.

Xiao Fen did not pull out the Withered Flower; in a few minutes, the Withered Flower itself would have its durability cleared to zero because the steel structure was corroded by itself, and it would naturally be taken back by the World Tree; what he had to do now was to wait for the mission prompt to see if this mission was completed.

This mission was really too easy to complete; in his opinion, it was completely unlike the difficulty an A-level mission should have; he suspected that this mission probably had even more difficult follow-ups.

Sure enough, the corner of his eye did not show that this branch mission had ended; at the same time, Xiao Fen could feel under his feet, a breath that made him familiar was slowly being released.

This breath, he had felt before outside Room 12 of the nuclear bunker; now, he felt this breath again here.

Xiao Fen looked at the side of that monster’s body, where the entrance passage to the basement was; that familiar breath was continuously emitting into the air from there.

He turned back to look at Sabova and asked: “Do you have a military flashlight? I need to check the basement; the smell here is very wrong.”

Sabova froze for a moment and asked: “You? Now?”

Xiao Fen nodded and said: “Right now, can’t wait any longer.”
