Chapter 39: My Job Panel Is Somehow an Anime Style? Chapter 16

The next moment, a sickle-like limb flashed with a cold gleam as it slashed toward Danika.

Yet the tall woman merely leaned lightly to the side, dodging an attack that would have split an ordinary person in two, and immediately followed up with a side whip-kick that sent the massive insect tumbling to one side.

But even though the strike had landed, no trace of delight appeared on Danika's face.

She knit her brows slightly and could not help muttering, "This new breed's defense is this strong?"

She knew that normally, an insect facing this strike of hers would only have one outcome—death.

Just as Danika was puzzling over it, the insect had already steadied itself and was charging at the woman with its massive body.

At that moment, a snow-white palm slammed straight onto the insect's head, sending it reeling backward.

It was Li Ang.

He let out a light breath, then stepped forward and threw another punch.

Thud—

The muffled crash mingled with a piercing shriek, and the insect was uncontrollably sent flying backward several meters.

Seeing this, Danika did not choose to pursue, but stood in place and said, "Your strength isn't bad. From here on, cooperate with me and help me gather more combat data."

She had provisionally acknowledged Li Ang's combat ability; although what the other party had shown so far was only simple physical enhancement, the numbers were quite impressive.

What Danika did not know, however, was that the reason Li Ang's physical body was so powerful was not entirely thanks to 【Reverse Birth: Three Layers】.

Boosted by his multiple classes, his current Body Strength attribute had reached 2.5. Although it wasn't exponential growth, it could already be considered far beyond an ordinary person.

"Alright."

Facing Danika's request, Li Ang gave a slight nod and agreed. As a temporarily conscripted prisoner, naturally he did whatever the employer told him to.

Having received a response, Danika loosened her tie, then in an instant crossed several meters and arrived in front of the insect, her long right leg carrying the whistling wind as it kicked toward the insect.

Facing this powerful, heavy strike, even though the insect had no intelligence, it would not choose to take it head-on.

As it beat its elytra, its massive body immediately flew backward.

But it overlooked one thing—the narrow corridor did not permit it to make such a move.

In that split second, the insect had barely escaped Danika's attack when a figure glowing white all over punched it squarely in its wide-open abdomen.

Casually flicking the bloodstains from his hand, Li Ang said calmly to Danika beside him, "Its abdomen's defense is very weak, but—"

"The blood seems to be slightly corrosive."

Feeling the faint burning sensation coming from his right hand, he could not help but knit his brows slightly.

"Understood." Danika curved her lips slightly. "Thank you for your cooperation."

As soon as the words fell, she shot out like a gust of wind, her long legs unleashing a storm-like barrage of attacks on the insect.

But Danika's heart was far from as relaxed as her outward appearance suggested; the special breed that had appeared this time was somewhat beyond her expectations in terms of strength.

Although two or three more of them she could still handle with ease, one must not forget the insect swarm's greatest trait—numbers.

Even though special breeds were extremely rare, that rarity was only relative to the swarm's total population.

'No wonder the defense system was breached. The question is, where did these insects get their templates?'

A new breed born from the swarm could not possibly appear out of thin air—they weren't those greenskins who possess the power of "I think, therefore it is."

She pondered the related questions, completely unaware that she and the insect had already reached the end of the corridor.

And Li Ang, following behind Danika, noticed something off at this moment—he caught a faint whiff of sulfur amid the smell of blood.

Immediately after, he noticed a red glow spilling out from a dormitory beside the tall woman.

"Watch your left!"

Hearing the shout, Danika instinctively looked to her left, only to see a red glow had appeared at some unknown moment inside the pitch-black dormitory with its door wide open.

'Another new breed?!'

She immediately tried to break away from the massive insect whose aura had already dropped considerably and retreat, but how could the other party simply watch its prey escape the trap it had long been plotting?

The massive insect frantically beat its elytra, lunging at Danika almost as if gone mad, a pair of sharp limbs glinting with a soul-stealing cold light beneath the red glow.

The next moment, the temperature in the narrow corridor suddenly spiked, and a glob of sticky crimson liquid flew out from the dormitory toward Danika.

Seeing this, the three squad members immediately cried out, "Captain?!"

Seeing that she was about to be hit by the attack, Danika's expression did not change, and a flash of crimson light passed through her pupils.

But before she could even use her trump card, she saw a thick wall made of concrete appear between herself and the crimson liquid.

Gen character · Earth Wall.

It was Li Ang. At a moment like this, of course he could not continue to hide 【Qi Men Dun Jia】, since the benefit of saving Danika right now far outweighed keeping his abilities concealed.

And the instant he sensed something was wrong, he had already moved to the massive insect's Gen position.

But to his relief, the buildings in this technical-talent resettlement Zone 2 were still built using something like the reinforced concrete from before his transmigration; otherwise, his Gen character's Rank's spell might not have been castable at all.

Hiss—!

Amid the fine sizzling sounds, the concrete wall was corroded away by more than half.
