Lu Wenwu muttered, "Oh my, finally seeing the living beings of the future. Awesome, I'm beginning to understand everything. But it's strange, how come none of them have full health?"
"What? What? What are you mumbling about, Brother Wu?" Super Niu Niu asked quietly.
Lu Wenwu paused for a moment, crouched lower, and replied, "Nothing, I suspect those… things are the legendary Contaminated Beings."
"What should we do now? They're coming towards us, seems like they're on patrol," Ye Hongyuan adjusted his glasses, "Not sure what their strength is, and there's no place nearby for us to hide."
Wei Long suggested, "I recommend we don't make any moves for now, but be ready for battle."
"Too troublesome, not necessary at all."
Lu Wenwu shook his head, took a shimmering dagger out of his backpack.
Mao Mao immediately bit down on it.
Before anyone figured out what he wanted to do, Mao Mao's body had already dashed out, streaking like a yellow lightning.
Even the enhanced Transcendents could barely catch the glimpse of a yellow shadow.
This was a speed of 56 points!
A mere hundred meters distance, covered in a second.
One of the weirdest-looking Contaminated Beings didn't even realize what's happening before Mao Mao's razor-sharp speed split its neck halfway.
Dark red blood gushed out like a fountain, the blood volume in the blood bar rapidly decreasing.
Terrifying in appearance, strong indeed.
But genuinely fragile.
Their defense was almost the same as an ordinary person's.
After striking one down immediately, Mao Mao didn't linger on the fight, slowed down, and ran straight towards the city.
"A dog? How could a dog still be around these days? Catch it quick!"
Ma Guang was already irritated from the long search for uncontaminated remnants of humanity.
Now, having one of his subordinates killed by a dog right in front of him, his frustration boiled over, swinging his three arms uncontrollably.
At once, he let out a screech, ordering his subordinates to follow, maneuvering a swarm of tentacles from his lower body to chase after Mao Mao.
The craving was evident in those scarlet eyes.
"This… this is simply astonishing! That speed has got to be at least forty or fifty!"
Watching the patrol team being drawn away so easily, Wei Long was filled with disbelief and profound shock.
He even started looking at Lu Wenwu differently.
"Let's go, folks. No enemies ahead for now, Mao Mao will come looking for us in a bit."
Lu Wenwu smiled slightly, didn't explain the reason, stood up and walked straight into the city.
Mao Mao had already scouted some of the periphery of the City of Evolution, now teasing the four relentless Contaminated Beings.
If it wanted, it could easily kite them to death and return to regroup.
The five of them walked and quietly exchanged information, getting acquainted with each other.
Without obstacles, they moved quickly, ready to step into the City of Evolution in minutes.
Coincidentally, the sky turned completely dark.
Without the sunlight's glow, the already decrepit city seemed even more spooky.
"Mao Mao's coming back soon; get your tools ready, it won't let us just go in easily," Lu Wenwu said quietly.
Wei Long took out a heavy sniper rifle, Yuan Shi held an automatic rifle.
Ye Hongyuan thought for a moment, preparing himself for evasion and instant healing skills.
Super Niu Niu held a watermelon knife, eyes glowing: "Never thought Mao Mao was this strong. How powerful must Brother Wu be? Brother Wu, did you farm dungeons non-stop for the past ten days after getting the player status?"
"Never farmed, I'm a complete newbie," Lu Wenwu spoke truthfully, "This is my first matched dungeon."
Upon hearing this, everyone froze.
The four looked at each other in astonishment.
Yuan Shi swallowed, "Brother Wu… then what level are you now?"
"Level five."
Lu Wenwu kept moving forward without looking back, his hands equipped with a pair of menacing gloves faintly shining with black light.
[Name: Heavy Cannon Gloves]
[Quality: Rare]
[Type: Weapon]
[Attack Power: Deadly]
[Heavy Cannon: Your attacks deal an additional 50% explosion damage]
[Heavy Hammer: Wearing increases strength attribute by 10%]
[Introduction: Every punch you throw is like a cannonball at your enemy]
This was what he traded the Celestial Master Demon-Slaying Sword for.
Longswords and such, although cool, didn't suit him, and he didn't really like using them.
The simple and straightforward skills of the Heavy Cannon Gloves suited his style much better.
Ye Hongyuan smiled wryly, "With an Assimilation Rate of 37.8%, top C-level dungeon, don't know how many D-level players were lost here. We don't have a single C-level, we're in big trouble!"
Wei Long, who was observing the surroundings, didn't join in.
But his expression showed some unease.
"Doesn't matter, I'll take action."
Lu Wenwu stood forward, like a tiger ready to pounce.
The sharpest Wei Long sensed something, swiftly got into a tactical position lying on the ground, set up the sniper ready to shoot.
But before he completed the preparation, Mao Mao returned with a massive monster charging towards them.
In the dim night, the huge humanoid body covered in chitin shell ran on all fours, crashing through like a gigantic tank.
Wherever it passed, even reinforced concrete shattered to pieces.
The heavy footsteps boomed as they hit the ground, constantly cracking the worn asphalt road.
Strangely, the terrifying figure over five meters tall didn't seem cumbersome at all; the speed was amazingly fast.
[Contaminated Mutated Beastman (D+)]: 3136/3500
[Current Status]: Mind Distortion, Flesh Mutation, Hunger, Fury
The slowly healing scar on its forehead clearly showed the root cause of its fury.
"Oh shit…"
Super Niu Niu was almost scared silly.
In just two seconds, the Mutated Beastman was already in front of Lu Wenwu.
Dark green viscous liquid dripped continuously, a foul stench hit them.
Shark-like jagged teeth grinding, making a terrifying creaking sound.
In an instant, Lu Wenwu's entire right arm, ready for action, turned jet black, glowing with dark red light, like forged steel.
No one present could see clearly, a punch fast as lightning came roaring in.
Like a cannonball, it struck exactly in the giant head of the Mutated Beastman.
Military Killing Fist!
No fancy moves, purely pushing strength and attack power to the limit, aiming for the fastest, most direct way to blast the opponent.
At this moment, the qi blood and strength in Lu Wenwu's body reached peak resonance.
Strong muscles like a furnace, refining countless pure Energy between the heavy qi blood transport into the right arm and Heavy Cannon Gloves.
"Crack!"
The sound was like porcelain shattering, breaking open a skull harder than steel.
In an instant, Lu Wenwu punched through the Mutated Beastman's skull, driving directly into its decayed brain!
The Mutated Beastman couldn't react, didn't even make any effective resistance, hit right into the vitals with a punch.
"Boom!"
The explosion damage on the gloves erupted.
Under the extremely terrifying power, the Mutated Beastman's massive head exploded, turning into a rain of blood spraying everywhere.
A huge 3500 blood bar emptied in an instant.
"Bang!"
The heavy body lost its central command and power.
Crashed down like a golden mountain toppling, a jade pillar collapsing, with a muffled noise.
The D+ level Mutated Beastman, killed in one punch by Lu Wenwu.
