Chapter 155: The Xenomorphs Have Escaped

Grabbing the ankle of the loudmouth, Joe dragged the mecha upside down across the ground.

He slowly walked toward Ye Hai and the others.

Ye Hai and his companions also stood up one after another.

"Nice work..."

"But this combat style..."

"Is Odin fighting autonomously?"

The mecha's abdomen opened its giant mouth once more, releasing Joe.

Joe shrugged and replied with a smile:

"My lord, you know me. This kind of crude and unrefined style of combat... I have always disdained it!"

As he spoke, he cast a sideways glance at Zero.

Zero did not say a word, merely looking at Joe with a beaming smile.

However, her left hand had already transformed into razor-sharp claws, leisurely trimming the nails of her right hand.

Her gaze kept wandering up and down below Joe's waist.

This caused an involuntary chill to snake up Joe's trouser legs.

Thus, Joe immediately plastered a beaming smile on his face.

"But I have always held Zero's aesthetic of violence in the highest regard..."

Only then did Zero display an expression that suggested he knew what was good for him, retracting her sharp claws.

Joe suddenly asked:

"In such a short time, you wiped out two hundred mechs?"

"Why are you becoming more and more of a freak?"

Zero instantly broke into a radiant smile.

"Don't assume you're the only one making progress..."

"Not a single one of us has fallen behind!"

"How about I bring over the Hypnos, and the two of us have a go?"

Zero's proposal made Joe shake his head like a rattle-drum, as he said with lingering fear:

"I am definitely not fighting your giant hedgehog!"

"Tch... Such a coward, a completely useless man."

Zero sneered derisively.

Joe coldly shot back: "A person who was beaten into begging for mercy by yours truly has no right to say that!"

Hearing Joe's words, Ye Hai suddenly felt a sense of creeping horror.

"You two???"

"Huh?"

Before Ye Hai could demand an explanation,

Joe and Zero spoke in unison, glaring fiercely at Ye Hai: "This is all your fault..."

This completely baffled Ye Hai.

Throwing Joe into your room was indeed my suggestion, but you agreed to it yourself.

I can understand Joe holding a grudge against me just a tiny bit.

What on earth do you mean by that, Zero?

Seriously, what in the world happened here?

Ye Hai was burning with curiosity...

Before he could dig any deeper,

the three of them suddenly spun around simultaneously, gazing into the forest.

Following a rustling sound,

a ragged soldier with pale skin abruptly burst out from behind the bushes.

"Hmm? The Dusha Resistance?"

At the sight of the other's attire, Zero waved her arms, transforming them into a pair of claws emitting a faint, chilling gleam.

She nearly pierced Ye Hai who was standing right beside her.

Ye Hai couldn't help muttering inwardly: "Acting just like Wolverine!"

"Only Joe could ever put up with you..."

"Cherish it, sister!"

Reaching out to stop Zero, who was ready to kill,

Ye Hai said:

"Friendly forces!"

Zero curled her lip in dissatisfaction and asked:

"Since when did you infiltrate the Dusha Resistance?"

Ye Hai smiled and replied:

"The night the Dusha Resistance rescued the Saintess!"

"I implanted parasites into a few of them... and then let them go back."

"I was originally planning to seek them out once the camp was settled!"

"The appearance of this mecha knight order will probably delay me for quite a long time."

"Still, it doesn't matter much. Winter is still long..."

Upon seeing Ye Hai, the soldier rushed over to him with a vacant expression.

He dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Ye Hai three times...

Ye Hai was instantly dumbfounded.

Zero and Joe also cast bizarre glances at Ye Hai.

"You have such a fetish as well, my king..."

"Are we supposed to start bowing to you in the future?"

Catching the mockery in the words of this pair of bickering frenemies,

Ye Hai rolled his eyes.

He thought to himself, didn't the two of you normally fight the moment you laid eyes on each other?

That night... what on earth went down?

However, Ye Hai was a smart man and naturally wouldn't ask such a blunt question.

The truth would come to light eventually anyway.

Thinking this, Ye Hai helplessly said: "I would never issue such a boring command!"

"It's probably some bad habit he picked up from the Dusha Resistance!"

With that, Ye Hai gave a kick to the fellow prostrate before him.

"Hey... Get up and speak... I'm not into this routine, spit it out!"

Receiving Ye Hai's command, the man immediately stood up and reported:

"Master, the Dusha Resistance camp was attacked by a group of terrifying monsters!"

"The Saint Son fled with a group of people, but those monsters have been tailing him ever since!"

"Many members of the Dusha Resistance were parasitized without even realizing it..."

"The monsters inside their bodies burst out... and before long, they grow into brand-new monsters."

"Pitch-black monsters with elongated heads!"

Hearing these words, Ye Hai's body shuddered violently.

In utter disbelief, he blurted out:

"Impossible!"

"Xenomorphs?"

"How did the Xenomorphs get out?"

Seeing Ye Hai's complexion turn instantly ghastly,

Joe frowned and asked:

"Are those the monsters you mentioned, the ones locked away deep beneath the secret facility of Karan Bio-Genics?"

"The monsters numbering in the tens or even hundreds of thousands?"

Ye Hai nodded helplessly.

At once, both Joe and Zero felt their scalps tingle.

According to Ye Hai's assessment, even the weakest of those Xenomorphs possessed strength comparable to fifth-stage mutants.

In fact, sixth and seventh-stage specimens formed the backbone of the Xenomorph army.

What was most terrifying was not merely their strength and numbers,

but the fact that these creatures possessed a distinct social hierarchy, taking orders from superior Xenomorphs.

They were capable of coordinated cooperation with one another.

Such a formidable enemy was simply incomparable to ordinary mutant tides.

Havier had only encountered a mere few thousand mutants at the edge of the radiation zone.

Ten thousand Xenomorphs...

What kind of concept was that?
Once they swarmed onto the surface, it would truly be a scene of endless hordes covering the mountains and plains.

Even if the Corpse Catcher organization were given ample time to implant parasites into all ninety thousand people currently in the camp,

granting them strength rivaling sixth-stage mutants,

they probably still wouldn't be a match for these things.

After all, Ye Hai was well aware that parasites could not prevent Xenomorph parasitism.

In fact, the presence of the parasites might even cause the host body to mutate further upon infection, giving rise to even more powerful and bizarre mutant Xenomorphs.

"How many monsters attacked the Dusha Resistance camp?"

Ye Hai inquired.

The soldier shook his head and replied: "The enemy launched their attack at night, and given that those monsters are pitch black in color!"

"It was completely impossible to count their numbers."

不过，感觉上不会超过5000！

Ye Hai continued: "Hasn't the Saint Son been captured yet?"

The soldier nodded and answered: "Probably not. After the monsters attacked the camp last night, the Saint Son teleported away with a group of people!"

"Fleeing westward all the way..."

"I'd imagine they haven't been caught up to so quickly!"

"After all, every once in a while, the Saint Son can release a portal to widen the distance between them and the monsters!"

Ye Hai nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he ordered:

"Joe, Zero..."

"Notify the Corpse Catchers. Aside from Lister, who is to remain at the camp to manufacture biochemical mechs,"

"Everyone else is to suit up in biochemical mechs..."

"Head west to rescue the Saint Son of the Dusha Resistance!"

"I'll head out first. Along the way, I'll have the vampires guide your direction!"

Joe asked, puzzled:

"Why bother saving that back-door-opening fraud?"

Ye Hai shook his head helplessly and replied:

"I need his ability to breach deep into the secret facility... and capture the Xenomorph Queen alive!"
