Chapter 683: Unknown Mutant

Shards are embedded in the chest.

He quickly recalled.

Lin An pondered for a long time but to no avail.

In Memory, there is simply no image of this mutant.

Did I guess mistaken?

"Cough—cough"

He coughed up blood.

The man beside him had a face as white as paper, constantly twitching on the ground.

The white light on him had dimmed to the extreme, his vitality seeming to vanish in the next second.

Even as he was dying, his gaze remained on his daughter, filled with deep reluctance.

"Dad is gone..."

The little girl changed from her earlier calm expression, as if possessing human emotions, her whole body trembling.

She was at a loss.

When facing her father, she appeared somewhat helpless.

Subconsciously, she looked pleadingly at Lin An.

She is a mutant, able to heal her own injuries, but cannot save others.

Unless, turn the man into a zombie.

Lin An's expression was strange.

After hesitating a moment, he still chose to send some of the energy from the Seed of Death over.

A mutant actually has to go save a human himself.

It's not that he has given up the thought of killing.

In fact, Lin An has been hesitating.

With the transfer of vitality, the man's complexion improved considerably.

"Thank... you... Sir..."

"My name is Xuan Haicheng."

He looked gratefully at Lin An, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

Just like an ordinary father, he carefully shielded the girl behind him.

Knowing it was useless.

Although Lin An seemed to have the intention to stop temporarily.

But as a father's sixth sense, he could sense it.

Lin An's gaze at the daughter remained somewhat unfriendly.

To others, the girl is a monster.

But to him, she is the sole reliance in his life.

He sighed.

Lin An leaned his sword slantingly against the man's shoulder, his expression calm:

"Saving you doesn't mean I won't kill her."

He slightly tilted his head, looking at the girl who had regained silence:

"Killing you might invite pursuit from that monster."

"But as long as you are taken far away, tied with high explosives, or even have someone bring you into a dungeon to be killed."

"I don't believe that monster can find me."

Unless that third-rank is strong enough to possess the skill of time reversal.

Otherwise, Lin An has ten thousand ways to make that monster unable to discover who he is.

No matter how strong a third-rank is, it's still a third-rank.

The little girl remained silent, she knew Lin An was speaking the truth.

At the moment she handed over the fragments, she already had no value.

"Don't... kill him."

The Red-Clothed Mutant silently stepped out from behind the man, her hand gripping the corner of her clothes, trembling slightly.

Human emotions are truly beautiful...

Close eyes and await death.

She herself didn't even know what she was.

When the man realized Lin An was unwilling to give up, his eye sockets instantly turned blood-red.

"Don't! Sir!"

"Please, don't kill her!"

"Kill me, kill me!"

He tremblingly pointed at his own chest with his hand, then fell to his knees with a thud.

This scene is remarkably similar to the one when he received the notice before the apocalypse.

He could no longer bear the same tragedy happening again.

Foolish...

Lin An slightly shook his head.

Merely his gaze carried a hint of pity as he questioned, the Cain's Blade in his hand raised to gather power.

You think she is your daughter.

But she eats people, she will turn into a monster.

You should know.

Long'an Base has many people, dead at her hands.

You...

On what basis do you think I will let her go?

Those wind-dried corpses, Lin An has not forgotten.

The man heard the sound and froze.

He hurriedly blocked again:

"No! We didn't!"

Covering his abdomen, he seemed to think of something and repeatedly explained:

"Lord Lin An!"

"Xiao Xuan hasn't eaten people! She hasn't eaten anything at all!"

"Those corpses downstairs are from the mutants that previously occupied the broadcast building, created by them!"

"Xiao Xuan killed that beetle-like mutant; the corpse is stored by that monster."

Huh?

Lin An looked surprised at the man explaining:

"The equipment of Long'an Base..."

Indeed, I haven't really seen the corpses of Long'an soldiers.

Hearing Lin An ask about this, the man wiped a cold sweat, as if finding a hint of hope:

"Taken away by that mutant, the monster with fragments embedded in its chest!"

"We also don't know what it intends to do."

"At that time, the Awakened Ones of Long'an Base encountered it, then were killed by it and turned into zombies, which it took away."

"Those weapons... were left behind during the battle."

Lin An was half-believing, half-doubting; with his spiritual perception he could detect the man's agitated emotions, but it didn't seem like he was lying.

Just looking at the girl's gaze, he felt somewhat doubtful and uncertain.

Can it restrain the bloodthirsty desire?

He, lost in thought, glanced at the man's abdominal wound.

Seeing this, the man gave a bitter smile and slowly tore open the bandage:

"I know you, my lord, may not believe."

"Xiao Xuan... really hasn't killed anyone."

"At least since I met her, she has regained her sanity."

"I had thought of cutting flesh from the corpses to feed her, but she wouldn't eat."

"Later..."

The man exposed his wound before Lin An's eyes, his abdomen a blur of blood and flesh.

He lowered his head, timidly muttering:

"I have thought about... giving my own flesh for her to eat..."

"But Xiao Xuan got angry..."

The father and daughter exchanged a glance, as if each other was their reliance to survive.

Watching the scene before him, Lin An fell into silence.

The off-road vehicle sped.

He casually found a parked SUV by the roadside, Lin An closed his eyes and sat in the back seat, beside him the red-clothed girl curiously looking at the Death Seed.

"Keep the Death Seed inside the body."

"Also, take this."

Speaking, he took out the electromagnetic confinement device obtained from the Fushan war zone and handed it to the girl.

Electromagnetic confinement, combined with the Death Seed continuously drawing power.

Can maximally restrain the mutant's strength.

With the slightest disturbance, Lin An can activate the Death Seed, draining the girl's energy.

This usage is also something he experimented and figured out.

Of course, the prerequisite is being able to bury the Death Seed in the brain.

Recently, a lot of energy has been used.

Whether due to the fragment's influence or not, the power that Xuan Ziyi possesses is very suitable for the Black Dragon to absorb.

Simply put, after Lin An thought it over repeatedly,

he decided to bring the father and daughter back to the base.

Killing the girl would be troublesome to handle.

Especially, according to the man, that unknown mutant had once been in the Long'an team, trying to trace the fragments.

This alone is enough to make Lin An feel wary.

Try not to startle the snake.

At least, also wait until I reach Third Rank before considering how to deal with its threat.

Another one.

The black dragon's growth requires energy replenishment.

This guy is a picky eater.

As an important trump card for his own future, Lin An intends to use the girl as the black dragon's battery.

As for continuously absorbing power, will she slowly die?

Then it has nothing to do with Lin An.

Being able to let her live for a while is already Lin An's greatest kindness.

The original survivors inside the building then drove behind them.

Sitting in the cab, Xuan Haicheng felt as if he were dreaming, and a foolish smile of surviving the disaster spread across his face.

He had long heard how good Long'an Base was.

But because his daughter is a monster, he dare not approach.

His feelings are complicated.

He went down, conscious, turned back and glanced at Lin An seated behind.

He didn't know why.

Even after experiencing these, he still felt.

Lin An.

He really is a good person.
