Chapter 311 - 247: Transcendent Gene Mutant, Kill! (Two-in-One for Monthly Pass)_3
He then got in the car, with Liu Feng driving personally.
Under the veil of night, not far from Da Peng City, factories emitted large amounts of smoke, and floating police cars shuttled through the haze. Thankfully, with Liu Feng having activated the car’s air filtration system, they couldn’t smell the black smoke spreading across the sky.
…
In the slums of the South District, Pei Jinye couldn’t remember how many times he had been here… but this was indeed his first time here.
What met his eyes was utter decay, and as they drew near, the stench of rotting food grew increasingly intense.
Liu Feng didn’t drive the police car directly into the area; instead, he stopped not too far away.
“In places like this, with a mix of good and bad, and a whole lot of chaos, and most people living here quite resentful of the uniforms we wear… be careful. You never know when someone might send a ‘love bullet’ our way.”
As he spoke…
The group of kids who were crouched and playing in a corner suddenly stood up, their gazes fixed on Pei Jinye and Liu Feng’s combat uniforms. Their expressions quickly turned to panic, scattering like startled birds.
Liu Feng, as if used to it, casually said to Pei Jinye, “There are a lot of unregistered residents in the South District… The trash here is more abundant than outside…”
His gaze, cold and indifferent, watched as adults hurriedly pulled their children into their homes. Liu Feng kept silent, not concerning himself with the lives of these people.
Because he knew… there would definitely be someone among them, who, when they were injured and helpless, would stab them in the back.
Because… he had experienced it himself.
“Where are our teammates?” Pei Jinye asked.
“Just ahead,” Liu Feng replied, carrying a case in his right hand and pointing toward a dirt mound in the distance with his left.
Pei Jinye lifted his gaze to look over there.
Suddenly, he saw that the area nearby was cordoned off with police tape, and at least four drones had sealed off the airspace above.
A few fully armed special forces members were holding guns, pressing back several ruffians clamoring to return to their homes.
Liu Feng stepped forward and kicked one of them away, “Scram.”
The ruffians fled in disarray.
“Liu Team,” the members of the special forces saluted Liu Feng as soon as they saw him, “We have confirmed that the Polluter is inside. Currently pinpointed in Building No. 3…”
“What’s the status of the target?” Liu Feng took the tablet passed over to him and saw dozens of red dots, each displaying numerous values.
He didn’t forget Pei Jinye and gestured for him to come over and take a look.
“This is where the target is hiding… This indicates the radiation levels in the area where he is. Anything over 100 is considered a moderate Polluter; his figure is at 80, so it’s not too bad.”
“Polluter?” Pei Jinye suddenly asked.
“You don’t know?” Liu Feng asked, surprised, then chuckled and said, “I forgot that your basic manual hasn’t been updated yet…
Polluters is a new term defined this month, referring to some ordinary people who suddenly awaken Extraordinary-Human Genes against the norm, but all these individuals undergo genetic mutations…
Based on the intelligence we currently have, these kinds of people, without exception, end up having their minds polluted and turn into man-eating monsters.”
Pei Jinye mused thoughtfully, “Why are these abnormalities occurring? Is it because of a Cursed Object?”
“We don’t have a conclusion yet…” Liu Feng shook his head: “If we can eliminate them, we should do so first. We are only responsible for reporting and elimination; the specific conclusions will be investigated by those above.”
Pei Jinye nodded and asked no more.
“Where’s Old Sun?” Liu Feng looked around, then spotted a familiar figure and immediately waved, “Old Sun, over here!”
The young man referred to as Old Sun stepped forward briskly, “Liu Team.”
As he approached, he did not forget to size up Pei Jinye and reach out a hand, “Hello, Sun Sifu.”
“Pei Jinye.” Pei Jinye and he shook hands.
After Liu Feng gave a brief introduction, Pei Jinye learned that Sun Sifu was the special forces team’s sniper.
“How long has the area been sealed off?” Liu Feng inquired.
“From confirmation up until now, it’s been just ten minutes. We have controlled the ingress and egress of personnel and are just waiting to conduct searches one by one,” Sun Sifu replied.
Liu Feng nodded, then turned to Pei Jinye, “So, the mission is to capture the Polluter.”
“If we can’t capture, do we shoot to kill?” Pei Jinye asked.
Liu Feng nodded in confirmation, “Any more questions?”
Pei Jinye decisively said, “No questions. Ready to work at any time.”
He then activated the second key on his portable case andcarrying the Elemental Cannon, which was two sizes larger than a sniper rifle, followed Sun Sifu to the rooftop of the adjacent building.
…
Pei Jinye had just settled into position, adjusting his posture.
Soon, Liu Feng’s voice echoed in everyone’s earpieces, “Attention all, there are a total of thirty-six residents in the sealed area. According to the investigation, twenty-seven adults and nine children. Xing Tian has initiated authority and marked the residents with information… Begin the search.”
Pei Jinye’s helmet visor swiftly displayed the thermal imaging of the building ahead and the people marked with special black dots.
His mission was to provide sniping support, not to search.
Promptly, the special forces team began their search.
Before long, team members started to report back.
“Resident of 101 cleared!”
“Resident of 102 cleared!”
…
“Resident of 602 cleared!”
When everyone reported that they’d excluded all possibilities, Liu Feng’s face suddenly changed.
“How could everything have been excluded?”
The radiation levels clearly hadn’t gone down.
Pei Jinye suddenly covered his earpiece and looked towards Liu Feng not far away, speaking in a low voice, “Could it be the child? Or could it be that the child is actually an adult in disguise? I suggest we remain highly alert—the opponent is tough.”
Liu Feng came to his senses, “This was a mistake of empiricism, everyone stay highly alert.”
…
In less than ten seconds.
The sound of a gunshot rang out.
“Someone’s been shot, I repeat, someone’s been shot!”
“The opponent knows how to use a gun…”
“He’s escaped from room 302, watch out! Male, about 32 years old… with two centimeters of short hair, and a black mole under the left eye… The opponent is rational but very hostile!”
The image of the Polluter was quickly described.
Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes, curious about the Polluter.
And almost instantly.
The sound of gunfire suddenly came from Sun Sifu’s direction.
“Boom!”
The sound of the Elemental Cannon was starkly different from that of a sniper rifle, more like a clap of thunder.
In the instant of gunfire, the scene lit up as if it was daylight.
A rolling thunder blast shot out.
Fifty meters away, the wall barrier was effortlessly penetrated.
“Zzzt!”
A five-meter long and wide electric net appeared on the ground.
“Ah!”
The Polluter screamed, but his body was still able to move; he quickly raised his gun and fired rapidly in the direction of Sun Sifu.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Sun Sifu hastily dodged.
But as soon as he dodged.
“Boom!”
Another thunderous noise of gunfire resounded.
“Bang!”
In the daylight.
The Polluter was struck directly by the rolling thunder.
It was like getting hit head-on by a speeding train.
The figure of the Polluter was sent flying on the spot.
Fiercely smashing through the wall.
Liu Feng turned to Pei Jinye and gave a thumbs-up: “Your cannon firing is much more accurate than sniping.”
Pei Jinye didn’t have a chance to say anything when he suddenly cursed under his breath and quickly ducked.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Bullets hit the walls around him.
It was a good thing he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have had to perform a Flesh Rebirth in front of Liu Feng, and that would have been really embarrassing.
“Not dead from that?” Liu Feng was also stunned.
By the time he regained his composure, Pei Jinye had already snatched his sword, abandoned the gun, jumped off the building, and charged over.
The Polluter reached for his gun and was about to pull the trigger.
Pei Jinye slashed down fiercely with his sword.
“So you think you’re tough!”
“Tss!”
Blood splattered.
The arm holding the gun was blown away on the spot.
The next second.
Pei Jinye pressed one hand against the man’s face, and like a cannonball, they blasted through the barriers and vanished on the spot.
“Damn!” Sun Sifu was stunned as he witnessed the scene and murmured to himself, “Pei Jinye, isn’t he a sniper? How is his Physical Body Strength so strong?”
He looked towards Liu Feng.
Liu Feng slapped his thigh, “What are you waiting for? Go catch him, we must save the Polluter!”
He then muttered to himself.
“That impact… maybe he still has an arm left?”
