Chapter 83: Hint of a New Mission

Ten hours, six fierce battles, 62 daggers, 5 exhausted Sources of Mutation, and 1 Source of Mutation in the process of infection; these were Xiao Fen’s achievements and consumption.

Starting from zero o’clock in the morning, Sabova took him to wander through all the ruins and factories where abnormal reactions had occurred. With the assistance of the army, the progress in the city was basically smooth.

Until now, Xiao Fen was no longer able to find other parts by using the method of electrifying water to stimulate exhausted Sources of Mutation.

However, the Soul of Weeping mission had not ended yet, indicating that the creatures possessing these Sources of Mutation existed not only inside the city, but also in those worlds outside the city.

This was something expected, but it was also a bad thing.

Inside the city, there was a smaller range to lock onto those monsters, and then fighting in a limited environment was equivalent to occupying the advantageous terrain.

For Xiao Fen, the more closed the environment and the more numerous the monsters, the better his Filth Origin could play a role.

On the contrary, once entering open areas, even if humans had enough guns for long-range interception, the speed and reaction abilities of those monsters were quite high. It was very unrealistic to want to ensure that all defense surfaces of the entire city would not be overwhelmed.

Once a gap appeared, the psychological impact on the humans inside the defense circle would be very huge.

By then, the defense line might be overwhelmed by those restless, blind crowds inside who wanted to flee the city, and finally, this city would sink into a sea of blood.

This was the result Sabova and Xiao Fen discussed in the car. Compared to Xiao Fen, who did not understand defensive operations very well, Sabova had richer experience in this area. She also maintained a pessimistic attitude towards the defense of the entire city.

“To solve this problem, we must compress all defense surfaces as much as possible, so that we can gather as much as possible. The smaller the defense surface, the more concentrated our fire power , and the easier it is to ensure safety.”

This was Sabova’s conclusion. Xiao Fen did not intend to repeat these words now to Ilyenko, the expert in this field.

Looking at Ilyenko’s face, Xiao Fen said in a low voice, “Hold on for a long enough time. I will leave in 2 hours to find their traces in the wild. And those guys might have already started to move. If I were you, I would forcibly confiscate the vehicles of those council members and tie them together. At least that would make me have one less worry.”

Ilyenko laughed. He patted Xiao Fen’s shoulder and said, “Do your job well. I will let you see an intact city when you return. And you, you’d better be alive to come back and see everything we have done.”

Xiao Fen nodded, threw the Source of Mutation that was still in the survival stage to Ilyenko, and said, “Don’t be afraid. As long as they are not implanted into a human body and connected to blood vessels and the central nervous system, these Sources of Mutation cannot get blood supply and brainwave stimulation. The infection effect they can produce will be greatly reduced.”

Ilyenko flipped through the crystal in his hand. There were dried bloodstains on the crystal, as well as some white stuff, maybe brain matter or something. He turned his head to look at Xiao Fen and asked, “Palyuka?”

Xiao Fen turned his head and said, “What Palyuka? I don’t know.”

Ilyenko smiled and said, “You should go be a politician. People like you who can tell lies with open eyes and regard them as truth are really rare nowadays. Most people don’t even know how to tell lies, and their eyes are full of Rubles and gold.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, then separated. Ilyenko strode towards the negotiation representative sent by the parliament, while Xiao Fen walked alone towards Sabova’s jeep.

As for that Palyuka, this former political star was betrayed by Tsizedovsky first.

As the first fierce battle for Xiao Fen this morning, two Level 1 lives attacked each other in a small room for 15 minutes. In the end, Xiao Fen used the manufacturing technology of two daggers to kill Palyuka under the knife.

However, this matter had become a passing cloud.

Just like what Xiao Fen showed just now, Palyuka’s existence had no benefit to this city. Even the parliament side would regard Palyuka as a burden.

Therefore, Palyuka disappearing from this world from now on, acting as if this person never existed, was a result acceptable to all sides.

For Xiao Fen, it was not completely without gain. He obtained a living Source of Mutation from Palyuka, completed the follow-up mission that was not completed in the nuclear bunker before, and obtained 300 Gene Points and 1 tube of nutrient potion.

More importantly, he obtained a clue for the next step of action through completing this mission.

“Mutation Anomaly: You successfully found that important Source of Mutation. Through careful research, you discovered that this Source of Mutation is designed very ingeniously. It must be implanted into the brain of a creature and receive brainwave and blood flow supply at the same time to function effectively. Lacking any intermediate step, it is impossible for this Source of Mutation to produce an infection effect.”

“This research convinces you that there must be a precision hospital and factory manufacturing the Sources of Mutation, and there are very precise instruments and very sufficient power supply. Such a target is not out of reach for you. You decided to conduct a new exploration.”

“You triggered a new mission, Mother of Mutants.”

“Mother of Mutants: Find the hospital manufacturing the Sources of Mutation and destroy this hospital.”

“Mission Difficulty: Level A.”

“Mission Requirement: Kill all infected lives. Every one of them could become a new source of infection. Destroy the machine manufacturing the Source of Mutation and destroy this underground hospital.”

“Battles one after another give people headaches, that’s right, but no one can avoid them. What is the best way to have fewer battles next time? It is to kill more opponents now, so that you won’t meet any opponents next time.”

Sitting in Sabova’s jeep, Xiao Fen asked in a low voice, “Are you familiar with the power supply nearby?”

Sabova shook her head and said, “Don’t count on starting from the power supply. I have checked before. The city’s power supply situation has not shown any abnormalities. Manufacturing Sources of Mutation and implanting them into human bodies requires purer current. I don’t think there are such current conditions inside the city.”

Xiao Fen rubbed his eyebrows and whispered, “So, there is only one kind of place that can manufacture this kind of thing.”

Sabova nodded and said, “That’s right, only one kind of place, a well-preserved nuclear bunker, and possibly an underground nuclear power plant using groundwater.”

Xiao Fen exhaled a long breath and said, “An underground nuclear power plant whose groundwater system was not affected by the nuclear war and can still operate normally, and requires a very large water flow, sounds incredible.”
