The six Mutants stared in shock at Inoue, who lay on the ground unable to move.
They had always looked down on Inoue, but only because he had betrayed the Gene Primordial and willingly served as a lackey for the Truth Society; in terms of strength, even the strongest among them wouldn't dare claim they could defeat Inoue.
Yet, just now, Inoue was brutally crippled by Lily, and it happened in close-quarters combat, which he was most skilled at!
What the hell.
The six Mutants found it unbelievable and couldn't help but gasp. Wasn't Lily's primary role a Spiritual Energy Prayer Master? If she could pummel Inoue in an area she wasn't specialized in, how profound must her spiritual energy mastery be?
They felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on their shoulders.
"Is this the true strength of White Death?"
"That woman is no good. She's been hiding her strength since the Abandoned Cooling Plant, deliberately showing weakness to us, then luring us into sending wave after wave!"
"Bastard!"
"The most urgent task is to report what happened here!"
Watching Lily approach, the strongest Mutant, C3, stepped forward and took command.
"C6, return to the vehicle and report the situation using the onboard terminal. C5 and C4 are responsible for driving away those rookies. The rest of you, come with me to deal with Lily. Don't be afraid, no matter how strong she is, she's only one person. Once C6 completes your mission, with the combined strength of the six of us, we might just survive her!"
C6's mouth twitched.
With the combined strength of six people, and all you can think about is surviving?
But after seeing Inoue's 慘狀, he dismissed the idea of complaining.
At this point in the mission, their goal was no longer to kill Lily, but to try and avoid being captured alive by the Gene Primordial, which could lead to them leaking information under torture.
He turned and rushed into the car, throwing out a heavy grenade launcher from inside.
Inoue was down, his identity exposed, and he was now worthless. They no longer needed to worry about Inoue's safety; the grenade launcher had to be used. If Inoue was accidentally blown to death, even better.
"Nani, A-Zhen, you're serious."
The surrounding players were startled.
Lily could block handguns, but blocking a heavy grenade launcher might be a bit too fantastical.
They quickly rushed towards C2, who had caught the grenade launcher, but just a few steps in, C5 and C4 began to pour bullets at them wildly.
Fortunately, there were many natural covers in this area, and they ran fast, otherwise, many players would have been down after this round of attacks.
"Holy crap, no Combat Etiquette, actually using a grenade launcher!"
Several players who narrowly escaped the gunfire cursed from behind the rocks.
They wanted to stop it, but they had no long-range weapons, and their few small handguns couldn't change the situation at all.
"Damn it!"
Shino, who had been hiding in the car, changed her expression drastically upon seeing the heavy grenade launcher. She quickly threw several flashbangs and smoke grenades forward, hoping they would buy Lily some time to dodge.
Then, carrying two assault rifles loaded with special incendiary rounds, she jumped out of the car, rolled upon landing, and flashed behind a large rock to her right.
"Lily, catch! I've already notified Four Directions, and they'll be here soon! We just need to hold on for a few... uh."
Halfway through her shout, Shino froze.
While she was deploying smoke, Lily hadn't moved at all.
Lily, what are you doing, Lily? No matter how far the road ahead extends, it's still a dead end!
The Mutants, whose eyes had been flashed, were also stunned by this situation, then overjoyed.
Isn't this the chance? As long as they could hit Lily once, even if it didn't kill her, it could severely wound her, allowing them to break through before Four Directions arrived.
"C2, now!" C1 and C3 shouted simultaneously.
C2 was also a well-trained veteran; how could he miss this excellent opportunity? He excitedly raised the grenade launcher.
Take this, Lily!
At this moment, the surroundings seemed to suddenly enter slow motion.
Lily's eyes swept across the scene, taking in the anxious expressions of the players and Shino, and the surprised expressions of the Mutants. Almost everyone believed that this one grenade would completely change the tide of battle.
Ho ho, it's got the atmosphere of Dio before using The World!
Lily: [Combat Etiquette]
In an instant, an invisible spiritual energy force locked onto C2.
C2 was horrified to find his body frozen as if firmly fixed to space, unable to move. This situation didn't last long; as Lily suddenly made a throwing motion, his body, as if controlled by threads extended from Lily, also mimicked the same throwing motion.
Thus, the heavy grenade launcher he held tightly in his hand flew out, arcing towards Lily.
"!"
This was an unexpected turn for everyone except Lily. Therefore, by the time the other five Mutants reacted, they could only watch, unable to do anything.
Due to the short amount of time, they couldn't even question or curse C2, let alone change the expressions on their faces.
Clang!
