This was a dagger that could slice through iron like mud, its arc in the air shifting from crystal clear to a faint red. The corpses of the Skeleton Mutants piled at his feet occupied the space where Xiao Qiang could unleash his punches and kicks. On the other side, a swarm of Skeleton Mutants surged forward like a disturbed nest of hornets, dark and densely packed.
Clearly, this situation couldn't continue; if it did, they would be exhausted to death in no time. With a swift motion, several blood-red arcs flashed as he struck down a few more Skeleton Mutants. He formed a gesture with his fingers and whistled sharply...
Wen Kai looked down at the ground beneath him, where blood pooled from the disemboweled bodies opened by Steel Bar, along with colorful intestines and entrails. If he weren't standing as steady as a mountain, the blood-soaked ground would have been as slippery as an ice rink. An ordinary person would have already fallen flat on their back and been taken out by the Skeleton Mutants.
At the sound of Xiao Qiang's signal, he glanced quickly—
Xiao Qiang's face was covered in blood, with only two black eyeballs rolling around amidst the crimson. It looked quite terrifying; Wen Kai remained calm but couldn't help but think that he might not be in much better shape.
Xiao Qiang held up two fingers to Wen Kai, who understood and hesitated for just a moment—only to see another wave of Skeleton Mutants surging forward. They seemed like an army with regenerative abilities, endlessly coming forth, instilling a chill in one's heart...
Wen Kai stabbed fiercely at the incoming Skeleton Mutants with wild abandon...
While Xiao Qiang dealt with the Skeleton Mutants, he kept an eye on Wen Kai. Although Wen Kai tried hard to maintain an expression of fearlessness, it was evident from his gradually slowing movements that he was already exhausted.
He didn't want to lose his close comrade again, so he secretly devised a plan: to use his Ability to create an illusionary cycle that would send these ferocious Bloodthirsty Skeletons into oblivion.
Xiao Qiang fought his way through the bloodshed and charged toward Wen Kai. He pushed him aside and shouted, "Wen Kai... get out of the way..."
Wen Kai stumbled from the shove and regained his footing only to realize he was now about a meter behind Xiao Qiang. For a moment, he didn't understand what Xiao Qiang was trying to do.
In that brief moment of confusion, a large wave of clawing Skeleton Mutants lunged at Xiao Qiang alone...
Wen Kai couldn't remain calm; just as he prepared to jump back into the fray...
Xiao Qiang gave him an OK sign and kicked off the ground, shooting away like a shadow... He surrounded the incoming Skeleton Mutants in the center...
Those Skeleton Mutants trapped within the light and shadow were completely disoriented. They could only screech in place while those behind them were blocked from reaching Wen Kai.
The Skeleton Mutants trapped behind the light could not cross over to harm Wen Kai; perhaps driven by hunger after losing their combat target, they began to pounce on their own fallen kin.
All Wen Kai could see now were increasingly dense shadows; Xiao Qiang had vanished from view... What he witnessed next was utterly disgusting: hungry Skeleton Mutants bared their sharp, serrated teeth as they tore into their own kind's corpses—some gnawed on arms, others feasted on entrails, while some tugged at intestines and swallowed them bit by bit.
The true monster was devoid of humanity. Wen Kai had not felt such a visceral disgust while slaughtering those creatures earlier. Now, witnessing the Skeleton Mutant devouring its own kind, his stomach churned, and he retched—vomiting out the little food and water he had in his belly.
Creating the Phantom Reincarnation Circle was a technique Xiao Qiang was most reluctant to use. This method had unpredictable drawbacks—when a creature was moved within the phantom circle to another space, who could say whether it would bring about greater trouble?
The Phantom Reincarnation Circle was determined by the number of rotations made by the user, sending objects to that specific space. Therefore, he dared not be careless and decided to transport this large group of Skeleton Mutants to the era following the Nuclear War.
In that time, due to severe Nuclear Radiation, there were no humans left on Earth. In a space devoid of humanity, the Skeleton Mutants exposed to the blazing sun had a very low survival rate. Moreover, with the dangers posed by Nuclear Radiation, according to Xiao Qiang's estimates, this batch of Skeleton Mutants would soon perish.
However, some events are often triggered by uncontrollable objective factors. Wen Kai felt nauseated watching the Skeleton Mutants consume their own kind's corpses… After vomiting, he looked up at the light and shadow and vaguely caught sight of Xiao Qiang… He couldn't help but shout, “Xiao Qiang…”
It was this unconscious shout from Wen Kai that caused Xiao Qiang, who was sprinting like a leopard, to suddenly lose focus—forgetting the number of circles he had just run. He dared not continue running and abruptly stopped—
When Xiao Qiang halted, those already sated Skeleton Mutants that had no desire to move quietly withdrew without anyone noticing. What remained at the scene was a mess and the stench of blood, along with an astonished Wen Kai.
Wen Kai was surprised because he had clearly seen that the Skeleton Mutants surrounding Xiao Qiang had vanished.
“What’s going on?”
“Aren’t you leaving yet?” Xiao Qiang said, his face pale from exhaustion.
“Why should I leave?”
“Alright then. Shall we continue?”
Wen Kai looked at him with concern as he noticed his pale and slightly fatigued complexion. “How about we take a break?”
“We can’t rest; while the Skeleton Mutants are full, we need to get things done.”
“Can you tell me what that energy you used earlier was?”
“Using speed to create phantoms and generate a reincarnation tunnel…” Xiao Qiang wiped the dirt off his face and replied nonchalantly. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and looked toward a dark corner nearby.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He said there was nothing, but he knew that the feeling he had just experienced was real. A pair of human eyes had been watching the two of them, but when he turned to look, that gaze had vanished.
"Can we contact Lin Yu?"
Xiao Qiang nodded. "First, let's reach out to Li Hang and Wu Yi. If everything seems fine, then we can try contacting Lin Yu."
In the control room, Li Hang was temporarily placed into a sleep pod by Wu Yi.
As soon as Heartless pressed that blue button, Li Hang, who was secured in the sleep pod, would be ejected from it...
The thought crossed his mind, and Wu Yi couldn't help but curse himself. If it weren't for Li Hang during that battle with the Living Dead, would he even be alive to stand here now?
Messages came in from Li Hang and Xiao Qiang.
There were two corridors in the spaceship: one for walking and another for the internal elevator. Wu Yi wondered whether Xiao Qiang was currently in the walking corridor or the elevator corridor. Suddenly, without warning, a loud and jarring noise erupted from the intercom system of the core cabin, startling him out of his reverie.
