Chapter 364: Cruelty

"Mia..." Sman lay on Bailey's shoulder, issuing unconscious murmurs from his mouth.

Bailey ran with his head down, but there was no movement coming from behind.

He stopped on a thick branch and cautiously looked back. Behind him was a dense jungle, so quiet it made one tremble.

"Mia..." Sman's consciousness was almost blurred, constantly repeating Mia's name.

Bailey's expression fluctuated. Reason told him that hurrying to evacuate now was the best choice.

But... the face of that young girl with some Baby Fat surfaced in his mind.

The three of them had experienced many twists and turns, but no matter what danger they encountered, Mia had never abandoned them.

"Rather die..." Sman continued to murmur something, but his charred body and cracked wounds prevented him from continuing.

Bailey understood his thoughts, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth: "This is what you want, don't blame me if we die!"

...

Mia had already been helped up by Peter. Standing at the side, she looked at Li Yu, the sentence from just now lingering in her heart.

That person was not unfamiliar with The Reformers. The Reformers were active in many civilizations and were a renowned civilian Armed Organization throughout the entire Interstellar space.

It wasn't strange that the other party knew of The Reformers, but the tone of that person's voice was very different.

In his mouth, The Reformers didn't seem like strangers, but rather like "Friends". Mia was somewhat curious, but didn't dare to ask.

The metal giant wolf stared at the group of people not far away. Its keen intuition told it that this group of people was not to be provoked!

It was somewhat hesitant, while slowly backing away, attempting to leave here.

However, Li Yu's gaze had already fallen upon it. The oppressive feeling from the Apex of the Food Chain instantly made its fur stand on end, and a golden light flashed in its beast pupils.

"This wolf seems somewhat interesting..." Li Yu looked at the tuft of golden hair on the giant wolf's forehead, seemingly remembering something, and pulled up a picture of the Fenrir Giant Wolf.

The Fenrir Giant Wolf's forehead also had a patch of golden hair, but it formed a special symbol.

The giant wolf in front of him only had one tuft of golden hair, very sparse. It should possess the Bloodline of the Fenrir Giant Wolf.

Just as a look of curiosity appeared in Li Yu's eyes, the metal giant wolf instantly felt an unprecedented danger.

This caused its heart to violently contract, stimulating an unknown power within its body. Colorful light extended from under its four giant claws, and its body instantly vanished from this place.

"Where's that wolf?"

Stanley and the others' complexions drastically changed, looking around vigilantly.

Li Yu was also slightly surprised, but he raised his hand. Rustling sounds came from the distant forest, and the metal giant wolf was bound by an invisible force.

Even using all its strength, it couldn't break free, and could only watch helplessly as it floated back.

"This should be the Fenrir Giant Wolf's special ability—Rainbow Channel..." Li Yu speculated.

The Fenrir Giant Wolf possessed an ability similar to a Technology Spaceship's Warp Mode, compressing spatial distance, which was why they could be used as mounts by powerful Deities.

Right at this moment, Stanley's eyes twitched slightly, seemingly perceiving something. His figure vanished, appearing behind a large tree not far away, and directly kicked out two figures.

"Bailey, Sman!" Mia's eyes lit up with pleasant surprise. She didn't expect her two companions to return, feeling moved in her heart.

Bailey, at this moment, looked in shock at the giant wolf floating in mid-air, struggling powerlessly. It was exactly this metal giant wolf that had just chased them to the brink of death.

And in the blink of an eye, this giant wolf had been suppressed.

Recognizing this group of people as the ones Mia had rescued during the last operation, at the time he even thought it was superfluous and useless.

"As expected, it was meaningless..."

Their act of saving them was indeed meaningless. With the other party's Strength, those soldiers couldn't do anything to them anyway.

Mia hurriedly stepped forward, helped Sman up, and dug out a few Vitality Serums from her armor, injecting them into Sman's body.

"Stanley, prepare to take action..." Li Yu stroked the giant wolf's head. The originally ferocious giant wolf was now like a docile lapdog, not daring to move.

"Yes, My Lord." Stanley nodded, then issued the combat plan, striving to end the battle in the shortest time possible.

...

On the frontal battlefield, The Reformers members were being brutally massacred. With the sky battleships destroyed and losing Fire Support, a large number of genetically modified wild beasts joined the battlefield, making the disadvantage very obvious.

These genetically modified creatures were complete killing weapons. Even if they went through untold hardships to kill a genetically modified wild beast, the Metal Armor on their bodies would self-destruct.

The death toll continued to rise. All The Reformers members felt despair in their hearts, but still gritted their teeth and persevered, looking for a chance to escape.

Whoosh—

Just as the situation became increasingly dire, a series of ear-piercing shrieks suddenly came from the distance, even in the chaotic and noisy environment.

This sound still clearly reached everyone's ears, causing many people to subconsciously look towards the source of the sound.

Dozens of Fully armed figures rushed out from the forest. Their speed was extremely fast, carving a bloody path through the overwhelming beast tide.

Bang bang bang!!

This group of people all wore standard armor and held Weapons, their movements clean and crisp. They were all warriors who had undergone strict training!

Whether it was mechanical Weapons or Energy Firearms, in their hands, they could exert immense power.

Boom boom boom—

Each of them erupted with powerful combat power, immediately taking over the battle.

Shattered limbs flew all over the sky, and flesh and blood formed rivers. Even if the genetically modified beasts used their final self-destruction, it couldn't cause any impact on those people.

With just dozens of people, they easily changed the direction of the entire battlefield.

A look of horror flashed in the eyes of many Squad Leaders. Being on the battlefield, they felt it the deepest.

These suddenly appearing guys were all B-Tier Lifeforms, and not ordinary B-Tier Lifeforms either; their combat methods were diverse.

Invisible barriers seemed to shroud their bodies. The shattered flesh and corpse pieces didn't stain them in the slightest.

The Jedi Squad used all their means. Dozens of light cannons pierced through the beast herd, like missiles carpet-bombing the ground. The rumbling sound shook the Earth, even suppressing the miserable howls of the beast herd.

With Force Barriers protecting their bodies, any sneak attacks were powerless against them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Stanley, wielding a Mechanical Longblade, moved as if in unpopulated territory. Any wild beast that approached within tens of meters was cleanly cut in two without any hindrance, like a meat grinder.

Swish!

The rhythmic frequency of Anthony's legs brought out over a dozen afterimages. His body seemed smeared with dark blackness, rapidly skimming past wild beasts like a snake, leaving shallow wounds on their epidermis.

However, his Dark Side of the Force had already permeated the wild beasts' bodies. Although it was just a shallow cut, the Force penetrated the entire wild beast; the injury couldn't be seen from the outside.

Any wild beast cut by him would crash to the ground the next moment. His attacks were soft without a trace of killing intent, yet extremely cruel.

Thump thump thump—

The sound of cannons hummed. Olena raised an Energy Rifle with both hands, while also controlling a large number of firearms around her body with the Force.

A full twenty or thirty gun barrels spat out a dense rain of cannon fire, shattering everything in front of her.

"Roar!"

On the other side, Carol let out a roar, taking turns using violent attacks, impacting continuously, fighting like a warrior, and soon becoming bathed in blood.

Bang bang bang!

Wild beasts were sent flying by him one after another, landing heavily, like a truck rampaging through a crowd.

Carol's fighting skills were very proficient, evolved from actual combat. His movements were violent and barbaric, yet possessed an inexplicable sense of beauty, combining power and beauty.

The group rapidly took control of the battlefield, advancing towards the Gust Laboratory according to the plan formulated by Stanley.

Inside the Laboratory, Gust stared at the Holographic Screen with a gloomy face. On it was exactly the scene of the Jedi Squad slaughtering in all directions.

"Where did this group of people pop out from again?"

Gust was extremely astonished. He originally thought today's attack incident had settled When the Dust Settles, but Mountain Path Winding and Turning, another group of guys with an unknown background jumped out.

Moreover, this group of people had formidable combat power. Every one of them was a B-Tier Lifeform, and their advance speed was very fast.

"Damn it!"

He glanced at the battlefield. Kadori was still destroying the enemy's remaining battleships in mid-air, as if he had fallen into some kind of crazed state.

Calling out to him multiple times yielded no response.

"The side effects of Gene Alienation..." Gust clearly knew that Kadori had fallen into a crazed slaughter, and unless he finished killing, it would be very difficult for him to wake up.

"Forget it, I'm leaving here anyway, and those things can't be taken away." Gust seemed to be persuading himself.

He pushed the Staff Member aside and typed crackling on the console, following which the entire Laboratory issued a warning.

Several Mechanical Doors buried Underground opened, and an endless stream of genetically modified wild beasts surged out. The overall number expanded several times, and the quality wasn't low; there were quite a few B-Tier boss modified wild beasts.

These were all the assets Gust had accumulated over the years, as well as unsold orders. His genetically modified wild beasts were quite popular in some civilizations.

However, since he was leaving here soon and most things couldn't be taken away, he might as well let them exert their final residual heat.

After all, it was Gust's proudest Technology. The combat power of these genetically modified wild beasts wasn't low, and with their large numbers, they once again influenced the battlefield situation.

The Jedi Squad's advance speed was hindered. Stanley slashed open the wild beasts in front of him, walked out from the explosion, and looked around.

Due to the continuously surging genetically modified wild beasts, their formation not only couldn't advance, but even somewhat dispersed.

Stanley didn't panic, activating the backup plan, and ordered in the internal channel: "Activate Red Lotus State, pay attention to keep the potential squeezing ratio at 25%, at most no more than 30%."

"Understood!"

After they awakened the Red Lotus State, they had conducted multiple experiments. 25%~30% was a suitable potential squeezing interval.

Within this interval, even after the battle ended, they wouldn't completely lose their combat power, just be somewhat weakened.

Accompanied by streaks of crimson aura flames, the Jedi Squad's advance speed recovered again, even somewhat faster than before.

The Reformers members who hadn't had time to evacuate were all dumbfounded. Where did these ruthless characters come from? Their combat power was not only tough, but they could also experience an Explosive Potential.

Gust in the Laboratory was also somewhat stunned by this sudden change. The Aura on those guys' bodies actually increased again.

"Who exactly are they!?" Stanley was Completely Perplexed. They definitely weren't people from The Reformers, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now to appear.

But he couldn't figure out who they had formed an enmity with?

Could it be they came to recruit me? This absurd thought flashed through his mind, and was immediately denied by him.

Who recruits Talented persons by starting with martial force? Don't they all negotiate conditions first? If the negotiations really break down, then kill them.

Using martial coercion on this kind of scientific research Talented person, aren't you afraid they'll trip you up?

If the situation continued like this, the Laboratory being breached was only a matter of time.

"Continue to call Kadori, activate the Star Barrier!" Gust issued instructions.

Following the Staff Member's operation, the central area of the experimental Base opened, and the Metallic Doors retreated to both sides.

A giant shield generator rose, its exterior resembling a diamond-shaped spire, with dense mechanical structures and interlocking gears.

In sixteen directions of the experimental Base, similar diamond-shaped spires emerged.

As the pale golden Energy Rays connected, a massive golden barrier inverted over the entire experimental Base, penetrating deep Underground, closing perfectly.

The Star Barrier could theoretically withstand an area attack of five hundred thousand Calories, and possessed the ability to distort space, avoiding any possibility of infiltration under any circumstances.

It was an advanced Energy Barrier requiring a special energy supply, namely Stellar Core Fragments.

Activating the Star Barrier, Gust's complexion relaxed considerably. This was the experimental Base's final barrier, and also the sturdiest barrier.

"It's a Star Barrier." Stanley recognized this high-energy Energy Barrier of the Star Glory Empire at a glance, his brows tightly furrowed.

The existence of the Star Barrier meant that even if they cleared the entire battlefield, it would be difficult to breach the experimental Base.

Right at this moment, roaring sounds came from the sky again. The last battleship was completely destroyed.

Kadori's bloodthirsty desire had vented quite a bit, and he regained a little clarity. Looking at those crimson figures jumping around on the ground, he immediately felt displeased: "Where did these ants pop out from again, they're an eyesore!"

"Ya-ha!"

A strong wind rushed to his face!

Dragging his heavily injured body, Dego attacked again. Although he was also very confused about where those people on the ground came from.

However, he didn't think those people alone could contend against Kadori. Still harboring Suicidal intent, he bought time for the other people of The Reformers.

Kadori easily dodged Dego's attack, a hint of annoyance in his eyes: "Old geezer, I'm already tired of playing with you, Scram for me!"

He clamped his twin claws onto Dego's body and forcefully exerted strength. Accompanied by the sound of breaking bones and tearing, Dego's pupils shrank, and his body was directly torn into upper and lower halves.

Fresh blood flowed onto Kadori's body, causing him to let out a piercing manic laughter.

Dego's eyes dimmed, but he didn't die immediately. The vitality of an A-Tier Lifeform was formidable.

Injuries that would be considered fatal for Ordinary Lifeforms were merely somewhat severe to them.

Casually grabbing a thigh, Kadori directly started gnawing on it. His bloody maw continuously chewed, with shreds of meat still remaining around his teeth. This extremely cruel scene made one's scalp tingle.

"Are you done eating?"

An abrupt voice sounded behind Dego, making his cruel movements suddenly stiffen. Someone had actually sneaked up behind him!?
