Chapter 50 Hello
Chapter 50 Hello
The gunshots came from the direction of the black mutation's center.
It seems someone is hunting monsters.
Xu Yang frowned, considering whether he should make contact. After a moment's thought, he made a decision.
In fact, heading straight down to the center of the mutation area is the direction from which the gunshots came, unless you deliberately take a detour.
But there's no need for that. His main purpose in coming here is to find the location of the laboratory, which is likely related to these anomalies.
Since he was new to the area, he didn't know much about the situation. He figured he might as well take this opportunity to ask someone if they had any information. That way, he could save himself some trouble, or at least it would be better than wandering around aimlessly on his own.
Moreover, since he's currently in the shadows, he can observe the other party beforehand when he encounters them, giving him options for both advancing and retreating.
With that thought in mind, he quickly cleaned the venom off the snake-man's head, threw it into his backpack, and slowly crept towards the area where the gunshots were coming from.
Surrounded by shrubs and tree trunks, sunlight filters through the treetops, casting beams of golden light obliquely onto the ground.
The dark vegetation in the forest looked as if it were covered with a layer of glaze, and it shimmered slightly under the light, making it look like some kind of metal structure.
From among the treetops, a dark shadow suddenly flew out, and a venomous snake lunged at the man below.
The wings of the fleshy membrane calibrated their direction in the air, creating a weak whistling sound as they were shaken by the air.

呲!
The body was easily dismantled, and the beginning and end were separated.
Xu Yang didn't even turn his head, sheathed his knife, and hurried on his way.
If this thing were silent, he might have paid some attention, but in what could be called a quiet place, a sound suddenly became so obvious.
They became easy targets.
He killed several along the way, which was no more difficult than cutting a watermelon.
Of course, this is from his perspective.
For ordinary people, these motherless cobras are still deadly. Perhaps due to being first-generation mutations, they live among black branches and can suddenly jump out from a treetop before you can react.
You should either avoid the dark, large trees along the way, change into better protective clothing, or bring some snake venom antivenom.
As Xu Yang continued walking forward, he suddenly stopped, hearing some strange noises.
He looked ahead.
At this moment, some voices came from a mountain hollow in front of us, which seemed to be arguing or quarreling.
He slowly lowered his body, his boots making a light, almost silent thud on the soft soil.
They quietly approached the area ahead.
As they drew closer, the voices became clearer, and Xu Yang parted a clump of bushes that was blocking his view—
"Tell me, is there anything else?"
It was a rude voice, and its owner was just as rude.
A fat man with a pig's head—a real pig's head, with a pair of large, fan-shaped ears and a long, arched snout—and a dark green camouflage outfit on his bulky body.
At this moment, he stared with bloodshot eyes, holding a shotgun, the muzzle pointed at the woman in front of him.
The woman looked terrified, trembling all over, and was now lying on the ground, barely clothed and covered in blood.
Beside him, a naked man lay on the ground, a large hole sprayed into his waist, his body almost severed in two, and the blood had stopped flowing.
He had obviously been dead for some time.
Looking around, it was a temporary campsite with an extinguished campfire and a tent pitched nearby.
At first glance, the man and woman lying on the ground look like a young couple seeking thrills, but it's actually a scene of them being attacked by a pig-headed man.
Xu Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in the arena.
【Humanity】
[A physiologically normal adult male, whose low-quality mutation, while increasing the toughness of his skin, has become ugly, his originally acceptable appearance filled with pain, and his eyes revealing a sense of madness.]
[Note: They all have to die!]
……
Their gaze shifted from the pig-headed man to another person.
【Humanity】
[A physiologically normal adult woman, filled with fear, her body covered in the blood of another, her lower body stained with urine and other fluids, in a wretched state, exhibiting signs of mutation.]
[Note: Why did he come?]
……
It seems not as simple as it appears.
Xu Yang remained still, quietly listening to what was happening from within the bushes.
"No, really no. The snakeheads we killed these past two days are all here. I was wrong, I was really wrong. I... let's go back, let's go back first."
The woman kept her head down and apologized repeatedly, but remained unmoved by the gun pointed at her.
The pig-headed man's eyes gleamed with madness, his tone filled with murderous intent, yet he laughed: "You mean, you've been busy for two days, two days, and all you got were two snakeheads? Nothing else?!"
The woman stammered, looking at the man who had fallen beside her: "I...I don't know, that's all I know. The rest, I didn't...pay attention. He didn't tell me, so I...I..."
"You motherfucker, all you care about is having fun, huh?!"
In a fit of anger, the pig-headed man threw the gun on the ground and grabbed the woman's hair.
Amidst the latter's pig-like screams—
Snapped!
The slap caused the woman's face to swell instantly. Seemingly, her anger subsided for a moment before she loosened her hair.
The woman collapsed to the ground, sobbing and crawling while clinging to the pig-headed man's legs: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, let's go home, okay? We... mmm..."
The shotgun barrel slammed into his mouth.
"Go back to your mother!"
The pig-headed man's eyes were filled with rage, as if he had been set on fire.
"You think I didn't know you were messing around? You think I only found out today?! What makes you think I could have found this place?!"
"To tell you the truth, I've been waiting for this opportunity! Going home? I can't go home anymore!"
"You all must die!"
The pig-headed man's eyes hardened.
Bang! ! !
The woman's head exploded instantly, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.
The corpse, with only half of its jaw attached, lay on the ground, and the cries and screams fell completely silent.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder.
A hint of sadness flashed in the pig-headed man's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by hatred. In the end, he sat down on the ground, utterly exhausted.
Even with the mess everywhere.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang, hidden among the bushes, finally figured out what had happened.
It turns out it was... a scene of catching someone cheating!
Moreover, judging from what the pig-headed man said earlier, this was a long-planned scheme of his, deliberately seizing the time when entering the quarantine zone, or rather leaving the gathering place, to take care of everything at once.
Good for killing!
Xu Yang secretly praised him.
However, now doesn't seem like the right time to communicate.
As he thought about it, he moved his body backward without making a sound.
Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled.
Xu Yang's expression changed.
Beside him, from among the black treetops, a venomous snake suddenly flew out, its membranous wings trembling, and shot straight toward his face.
chap!
With a single slash, the blade flashed.
The two halves of the body rolled in the grass, brushed against some dry branches, and then rolled down.
It becomes distinct in the silent environment.
"who!"
The pig-headed man suddenly looked up, and their eyes met instantly.
At this point, the haphazard cover provided by the bushes is like burying one's head in the sand.
Xu Yang crouched down and stood up from among the low bushes. He pursed his lips and gave a slightly awkward smile.
"Hello there."
