Chapter 128 Basic Operations

"Brother Lin, your archery skills are even better than I thought!"

Su Yu felt the power of that arrow most intuitively. Originally, the bodies of the three mutant birds did not overlap, but the pause when the first one was hit happened to make the second one flapping its wings in panic, so it changed its direction. , but happened to hit the arrow.

As for the third one, he is a pure unlucky one.

But no one will believe that this is just a coincidence.

"It should be more powerful than you think now."

Lin Qi corrected his mistake in time, and then glanced at Sun Tao, who was still stunned.

"I only brought twenty arrows, and they will be gone after I shoot them. Run fast and help me collect the arrows."

Sun Tao opened his mouth and reacted belatedly, but at this moment he was not dissatisfied with being manipulated, but ran out with a look of joy on his face.

After a while, he ran back with three bird heads and an arrow stained with blood.

"Next, we will still follow the previous formation, starting with Su Yu. Don't worry about being hurt by the mutated beasts. I am 100% sure to stop them before they rush in front of you, so don't worry."

Lin Qi encouraged him, if he was still so timid, he didn't know how long it would take to reach the designated location. Those second- and third-order mutant beasts were waiting for Lin Qi to hunt them.

"Set off!"

An Xin gave the order and the team moved forward again, but the pace was obviously faster than before.

The area the team was traveling through was the outskirts of the shelter. It had been bombed once before, but there were still many incomplete buildings that had not collapsed.

There were bloodstains everywhere in the ruins, and there were even mutilated human corpses in some corners. After getting closer, the mutated rats lying on them and gnawing made a squeaking sound from their mouths, with their sharp teeth exposed, as if they were defending their food. .

Su Yu hit the target with one shot. Without external pressure, although the shot seemed a bit hasty, it was difficult to miss the target at a distance of more than ten meters.

"keep going."

At this moment, Lin Qi had fully accepted the responsibilities of the captain, and his mental power slowly spread, and all situations within a radius of 100 meters were sensed.

Not far ahead, a mutated cat is hiding in the ruins and eating the head of a giant mutated rat. After the swarm of rats rages, its natural enemies will definitely come out to hunt down the lone mutated rat. The ruins of the mutated cat It is simply a natural hunting ground.

"It's a second-level mutant cat!"

Feeling the aura emanating from the mutated cat, Lin Qi took off an arrow.

What he needs most now is the second-level genetic crystal. It is not only needed for physical evolution, but also for the advancement of skills. These precious things are also inseparable.

The mutant beasts near the previous safe zone were almost all hunted down. Even those who were lucky enough to survive had all moved to farther places. It was hard to find a single beast.

But just after entering the periphery of the ruins, he encountered a mutant cat, and it was still a second-level cat, which really surprised Lin Qi.

While everyone was being careful, they suddenly heard the sound of arrows piercing the air, and they were all startled.

"What's wrong? Is there something going on?"

They were alert to the surrounding area, but after scanning the surrounding area, they did not notice any movement of the mutated beasts.

At this time, Wu Lianhe's voice came from Anxin's headset in the distance.

"Captain An, Captain Lin just shot and killed a mutant beast hidden in the ruins, one hundred meters in front of you, about two o'clock."

Wu Lianhe only felt the movement when the arrow hit the target. After focusing his pupils hard, he saw part of the mutated beast's body, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"A hundred meters away?"

Hidden by the layers of buildings in the ruins, he actually discovered something a hundred meters away!

"It should be a mutant rat. I'll go over and have a look."

Sun Tao consciously took on the responsibility of running errands and moved forward cautiously.

The aura exuding from the second-level mutant cat has a certain degree of deterrence. It is impossible for any mutant mouse to dare to approach within a hundred meters, so Lin Qi is not worried about a mouse suddenly appearing.

The team walked forward for hundreds of meters, and after climbing over a ruins, they saw the mutated cat with an arrow stuck in its forehead.

This is a second-level mutated cat with a gradient of gray, with a body shape like a cheetah, but at this moment it is completely lifeless and lies motionless in the ruins.

"Two, second-level mutant beast!"

Sun Tao was startled and subconsciously raised his gun to aim, but he was relieved when he saw the arrow on the mutant cat's head.

"Captain! You actually killed a second-level mutant beast with one arrow!"

He had an incredible feeling that the second-level mutant cat, no matter what its bloodline, had a speed and reaction ability far beyond those of ordinary mutant beasts. When its speed reached the limit, only an afterimage could be seen.

Without turning on the gene lock, it would be impossible to keep up with his reaction speed.

But to be discovered by Lin Qi a hundred meters away and killed with one arrow was simply unimaginable!

"It's just basic operations, clean the battlefield, don't waste time."

If it were normal times, the skin and flesh would have to be skinned and cut, even the cat's claws would be spared. However, the current task was urgent, so we could only take the second-order gene crystal and temporarily dump the mutated cat's body here.

While trembling, Sun Tao took out the gene crystal the size of a pigeon egg. This was the first time he had opened the brain of a second-level mutated beast.

But before he could warm it up, Lin Qi took it away and put it in his pocket.

"I will not take action against the mutant beasts below the second level. You can deal with them yourself."

After Lin Qi finished speaking, he walked straight ahead. Since he already knew that there were a large number of mutant beasts here, why waste time?

Before these people could react, Lin Qi's figure had disappeared in front.

"Captain Lin! Wait for us!"

Sun Tao quickly chased after him, but as soon as he turned around the ruins, Lin Qi's figure disappeared.

He was so proud of his speed that he didn't even see the dust under Lin Qi's feet.

"Wu Lianhe, tell me where Lin Qi is!"

An Xin showed a trace of anxiety on her face. If it weren't for Lin Qi's protection, she couldn't imagine what kind of danger the team would encounter.

It was not until now that she realized that she was too naive. She and her people were basically flowers in the greenhouse and had never seen the horror outside.

"Captain An, Captain Lin is already 500 meters away from you. At your current speed, you can't catch up at all!"

Wu Lianhe's voice came from the communicator, with a hint of surprise.

In order to keep an eye on the position of everyone, help guide the direction and avoid danger, he also entered the ruins, but at this moment he was hiding in a high place in an abandoned building.

Through the high-power scope, he kept locking onto Lin Qi's position, but it was still easy to lose the target.

"I paid for it!"

An Xin was furious when she heard this, but she was helpless because she could not contact Lin Qi now.

"Captain, are we taking too big a step? We are not used to such a dangerous mission right at the beginning."

Su Yu had seen some of the world, but the other three were going out for the first time and had not even participated in a search mission before.

"Don't worry, Captain, I am not a pushover either. Keep moving forward!"

An Xin took a deep breath. He had come here and could not turn back.

"The third one!"

Lin Qi gradually became excited after cutting open the head of a second-level mutant beast and taking out the gene crystal from it.

It had only been five minutes, and he found the third second-level mutant beast in the ruins.

He had finally come to the right place this time.

As for An Xin, who would care about their life or death.

But the range of his mental power sensing was still a little small, so Lin Qi turned on the wireless communication device that An Xin gave him before entering the ruins.

"Wu Lianhe, help me search for the location of the mutant beast in the ruins. I will clear the threats ahead for the team in advance."

This way, he had an excuse to leave the team.

After a while, a chaotic voice came from the headset. Lin Qi could vaguely hear An Xin's questioning, so he blocked An Xin's channel directly, and then it was quiet.

"Captain Lin, there is a black mutant beast 500 meters to your left. I can't see what it is."

Wu Lianhe is the person who knows Lin Qi's strength best at this stage, and even his voice at this moment is a little admiring.

"Black, right? Don't let me see the mouse!"

Lin Qi's figure quickly shuttled through the ruins. Because of the black windbreaker, he was like a black shadow, and the distance of 500 meters soon arrived in front of him.

"What is this?"

It has always been cats and dogs, but this time I finally met a different animal.

This is a lizard, gray-black all over, and its body is like the world's largest Komodo dragon, but the species is different.

At this moment, the lizard is in the ruins, swallowing the corpse of a mutant rat.

Its belly was bulging, and it had obviously eaten a lot of food, because Lin Qi appeared in front of it almost suddenly, which really scared the giant lizard.

All the scales on its back were raised, emitting cold light like a sharp blade, and its limbs were propped up, slightly retracted, and made an attacking posture.

"Another second-level mutant beast!"

Less than ten meters away, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, piercing the head of the mutant giant lizard and nailing it directly to the ground.

However, this mutant creature has extremely strong vitality. Even so, its body continued to roll and struggle, knocking down the broken walls around it.

Until the vitality dissipated, the mutant giant lizard gradually stopped struggling, and half of its body was buried in the ruins.

Lin Qi stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow stuck in the lizard's head, just bringing out the gene crystal.

"I don't know how many mutant beasts this corpse in the shelter can attract, but are there so many outside?"

Although there are still many usable materials on the corpse, it is not worth wasting time to deal with it for Lin Qi now.

He just knocked off a few claws of the giant lizard and put them in the quiver. The next second, an arrow slowly formed in the quiver.

To reach the right side of the shelter, he needed to go around a long distance. At this moment, Lin Qi's figure had disappeared from Wu Lianhe's sight. He could only change his position again and provide everyone with information about the surroundings from a high place.

"Captain Lin, there is a group of black things 200 meters to your left, be careful!"

Wu Lianhe's voice came from the infinite device. He tried to focus his eyes, but the dark mass of things reflected the sunlight from time to time, making it impossible for him to see clearly!
