Chapter 105: Destined to Grow Old Together

Just like a general who has conquered the four corners of the world.

Niu Boyi led the swarm of rats, charging into the Sky Viper positions with irresistible force, amidst the terrified gazes of both warring sides.

It was fortunate that Tan Ziyan called his own men back in time; otherwise, a swarm of Mutated Mountain Rats of this scale would have scared the Special Action Team half to death.

"Find Taotie!"

Compared to these Sky Viper mercenaries, Taotie's life was far more valuable; Tan Ziyan injected himself with a dose of Antidote Serum.

But he only had time to say three more words, "Take him alive..."

Amidst the world spinning around, he collapsed, yet his eyes would not close.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't die in peace because he hadn't finished his mission, but that the Antidote Serum had failed.

"Captain!"

One member of the same squad held Tan Ziyan to perform first aid, while another took over command.

With the addition of Niu Boyi leading the rat swarm, the battle instantly turned one-sided; the surviving members of the Special Action Team went off to pursue the lizardmen and the crates they were carrying.

The teammate performing first aid saw Tan Ziyan begin to convulse, and after the medicine in his hand was injected, nothing had taken effect; his face had already turned pale.

Trembling hands pressed continuously against the thick chest, but it seemed everything was already in vain.

As Tan Ziyan's vital signs disappeared step by step, he picked up the walkie-talkie, on all channels,

"October 1, 2024, 2:44 AM, Special Action Team Colonel Captain, Comrade Tan Ziyan has sacrificed his life for the country..."

"Wait a minute!"

The tragic news was missing one word when it was suddenly interrupted; the team member looked at the woman who had appeared out of thin air like a ghost, stunned for a moment, and the walkie-talkie was snatched away.

"I am Liu Mu, continue to pursue that mutant, I will return to support in three minutes, don't be cowardly, hit them until they're dead!"

The walkie-talkie was thrown back; Liu Mu took a syringe scattered nearby, and without waiting for the bewildered soldier to speak, jabbed it into her own vein.

Half a tube of blood was drawn out just like that, and the syringe was pressed into the soldier's hand, "Intravenous push, save him!"

"Wait a minute!" The soldier had never met Liu Mu, but he had heard the name, "Are you sure this method works?"

"I'm sure that if you don't inject him now, he'll be stone cold," Liu Mu stood up, glanced at the soldier, and with a movement of her body, like a superhero in a movie, she flashed an afterimage and disappeared into the distant rain curtain.

"I..." The soldier still wanted to say something, but the originally strong heart under his palm had already stopped for a minute.

That's right, if he dragged it out, the Captain would still just be a corpse.

The soldier's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know if it was rainwater or some other liquid blurring his vision; he wiped his eyes fiercely and plunged the needle into Tan Ziyan's muscular arm.

With the heart stopped, an intravenous push became very difficult, but the soldier still gritted his teeth and pushed the syringe plunger down hard.

The rain fell like a waterfall, splashing thumb-sized droplets around the two of them; the slaughter and gunfire in the distance seemed to be separated by several layers of frosted glass, sounding indistinct, every second stretched infinitely.

The soldier anxiously tapped both sides of Tan Ziyan's collarbone; this action could maximize the vibration of the head and recall a person's consciousness.

"Captain, Tan Ziyan, you dog, are you fucking pretending to be asleep? You don't want such a beautiful sister-in-law anymore? If you don't want her, I'll go propose to her when I get back..."

"You little brat, you're courting death!"

The person who had been dead-like suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth to curse, and then rolled over and vomited violently.

Foul-smelling black blood was vomited out continuously, and the oppressive feeling that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on Tan Ziyan faded away like a tide.

"Damn, couldn't this girl Liu Mu have come a few minutes earlier? She made me go to the gates of hell!"

After he had finished vomiting, he turned his head to see the soldier from his squad had already packed up the First Aid Kit and was standing straight in the rain.

Seeing him look at himself, the soldier gave a crisp military salute, "Report! Comrade Tan Ziyan, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Jiabao requests to go support our teammates in battle, please approve!"

"Want to leave?" Tan Ziyan laughed out loud, stood up sinisterly, and draped an arm over Zhang Jiabao's shoulder, pressing the six-foot-tall man until he staggered, "Come, tell me, what are your thoughts on my wife?"

"No thoughts, sister-in-law and the Captain are a match made in heaven, destined to grow old together!" Zhang Jiabao didn't hesitate for a single word, answering firmly, just like his iron will as a soldier.

"Hehehe, let's go, I'm going to kill today!" Tan Ziyan was still a bit dizzy, coughed twice, and spat out another mouthful of residual black blood.

Over here, Niu Boyi had sensed Liu Mu's arrival from far away; it stomped an enemy carrying a machine gun to pieces and let out another howl.

Other humans couldn't understand its meaning, but the mountain rat swarm could; this sound was telling these little brats, "My boss is here, hurry up and kill, otherwise there won't be a chance to earn credit!"

Yang Pingqiong also understood; she held high a silver-white iron rod she had found from somewhere, with a piece of red cloth on the front part, "Kill! Confiscate the weapons!"

Niu Boyi, who had just stomped the machine gun to pieces, looked at her from afar and felt annoyed; humans are so cunning, how could it have forgotten that its Master likes these weapons that can't even scratch its skin?

Niu Boyi vented its anger on these Sky Viper people, opened its mouth to tear apart a bad guy begging for mercy, and with a movement of its throat, swallowed the flesh and blood.

Oh no!

As the flesh and blood entered its mouth, it suddenly froze; oh no, why did it eat it?

Ugh!

It's over, it's over; if the Master finds out, what will it do if she doesn't let it go back to eat?

Ugh!

Why can't it spit it out? Sob sob sob, I didn't mean it, doggy didn't mean it.

Master, save doggy's life!

Niu Boyi didn't want to kill the Sky Viper people anymore; it whimpered, knocked over several combat jeeps, and ran frantically toward Liu Mu's direction.

Sob sob sob, Master, listen to doggy's explanation!

Its actions did not affect the rat swarm's combat, only Yang Pingqiong looked over in confusion,

"That dog... cried?"

And Liu Mu, who was busy catching the lizardman, didn't notice the brief prompt that flashed across the system.

Although the lizardman's speed was fast, he was carrying a crate weighing several hundred pounds, and the poison that was originally fatal upon contact finally took effect.

After running five kilometers, he couldn't hold on anymore.

The gills on both sides of his neck heaved frantically, but the oxygen in the air seemed to have disappeared, simply unable to enter his lungs.

Hiss—

Amidst a terrifying gasping sound, the black lizard carrying the crate tumbled down the hillside.

Despite doing their best to protect the chest, during the tumble, the chest was inevitably knocked open a crack.

Thick green liquid flowed out, and by the time they rolled to the bottom of the valley, the chest pressed down on the Black Lizard, causing him, already poisoned, to lose his ability to move.

Although the soldiers of the Special Operations Team were very strong, they were still only at a human level.

Torrential rain, pitch-black night, mountainous terrain, and mud—these combined were the nightmare of every off-roader.

So, while they were still closing in, they saw a shadow carrying light carve a bright line through the air, rushing toward their target.

"Who goes there?"
