Free Web NovelChapter 71: Chapter 71: A Furious Outburst for Bai Wu
Despite Bai Wu’s desire to think a bit longer and find some clues to get through this area,
his neighbor, the Evil Fallen who had an unbreakable bond with Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang, was a five-level aberration.
Bai Wu decided it was best to refer to him as Mr. Hulk for now.
Facing a third-level Evil Fallen, Bai Wu could barely hold on, but against a five-level aberrant Hulk, he could only be one-sidedly thrashed.
Not to mention the exact nature of the terrifying green light from the perfect Mutation Entry, just the strength and speed alone were vastly different.
A fight between a lightweight and a heavyweight often ended in an instant, and Mr. Hulk’s fists, which couldn’t really be called fists, sent Bai Wu flying with a single blow; he couldn’t even defend himself.
Bai Wu had no choice but to use his last-ditch trump card while he was still conscious:
"Captain, save me!"
The moment these four words were shouted, Dwarf didn’t emerge like a divine being breaking through the encirclement...
Instead, the Evil Fallens nearby, those whose hearing hadn’t degenerated, all rushed towards Bai Wu.
Mr. Hulk’s claws pierced directly through Bai Wu’s collarbone.
The other Evil Fallens in first class, like zombies smelling flesh, furiously rushed at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu frowned:
"Damn... if Dwarf doesn’t come soon, I won’t even last until the plane explodes..."
...
...
Economy class.
Wu Jiu’s awakening came from pain, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw an Evil Fallen licking his face with a disgustingly large tongue.
This captain with a mild case of germophobia immediately felt nauseated.
Crack!
He twisted off the Evil Fallen’s head and threw it away.
Unlike Bai Wu, Wu Jiu was calm and brave, but he did have emotional fluctuations; the sudden awakening stirred the other Evil Fallens in the economy class.
Fortunately, having been through death once, he no longer feared dying, his wristwatch value constantly below fifteen.
The Evil Fallens from other compartments didn’t come sniffing around. fгeewebnovёl.com
But Wu Jiu was still in a daze.
His reaction was that of a normal person; he wouldn’t start analysing his surroundings immediately upon waking like Bai Wu did.
As a third-level aberrant Evil Fallen pounced, Wu Jiu looked lost but reflexively took it down with a slice, bisecting the Evil Fallen.
"Didn’t I die? What is this situation... Is this hell?"
The scene before him was actually more terrifying than hell.
The Evil Fallens didn’t stop their advance because of the death of their own kind; they swarmed towards Wu Jiu.
But eventually, Wu Jiu killed off these close-by Evil Fallens one by one in a semi-conscious state as he pondered and sought to confirm.
Until he heard a faint sound from afar:
"Captain, save me!"
But Wu Jiu hesitated for a moment; it took about ten seconds before he came up with an explanation:
"Could it be that the explosion just now was some kind of illusion?"
Dwarf wasn’t stupid, but without the god’s-eye view and Prayle’s Eye, his conjecture seemed quite absurd.
The moment this thought emerged, he drew his sword again and sprinted towards the source of the sound like a swift shadow.
This slash was straight and domineering, like an absolute dividing line; all the Evil Fallens within reach were sliced apart without exception.
Only this time... Wu Jiu was a bit too late.
By the time he reached first class, he saw Bai Wu enveloped in a strange green light, his life force extremely weak.
Bai Wu’s mouth was clenched with the flesh and blood of the Evil Fallen, as if he sought to prolong his life through Taotie, but he suddenly remembered something and immediately spat out the flesh and blood from his mouth.
Wu Jiu’s pupils constricted; his blade moved even faster.
The dreadful momentum of the knife in an instant severely wounded several level-five Evil Fallen, but it wasn’t enough to kill them outright.
Bai Wu only felt his vision clear suddenly, his body swarming with Evil Fallen to the point where his sight was even obstructed by them.
In the blur, he caught sight of Dwarf’s vague silhouette, and Bai Wu squeezed out a painful smile:
"Captain... next time, don’t hesitate..."
Bai Wu took his last breath.
Before dying, he guessed that this wouldn’t be his last death.
If only deaths caused by explosions resulted in resurrection, then this cabin probably wouldn’t be packed with a dense mass of "passengers."
But Wu Jiu didn’t know. Bai Wu’s last words before death filled him with extreme self-blame, since, as a captain, he failed to protect his subordinate.
Even though over the years, he had also experienced the painful loss of subordinates outside the tower, Bai Wu was different; he saw this smart young man as his successor.
Wu Jiu’s eyes instantly reddened with rage, and the number on his wristwatch shot up to 115 in a surge of anger!
Those Evil Fallen that he hadn’t killed earlier actually felt an unfamiliar fear.
Facing a group of first-class, level-five Evil Fallen, Bai Wu held out for two minutes, with four more minutes till the explosion.
It’s a pity that in those four minutes, he was already dead and couldn’t witness Dwarf’s frenzied scene, which would have undoubtedly moved him deeply.
Over the next four minutes, Wu Jiu was like a man in berserk mode.
The level-five Evil Fallen were also preparing to use their various bizarre Mutation Entries.
But it was pointless...
As soon as they harbored the thought of resistance, their so-called fightback had already ended.
The speed of the blade was unimaginably fast, with absolute velocity and slicing power that seemed even more terrifying than the imminent explosion itself!
When that angry roar reverberated in the ears of the Evil Fallen, they were already dead.
Only when the entire cabin boooomed once more did the rage on Wu Jiu’s face finally ease a little.
The flames swept through, and in that moment, Wu Jiu finally began to understand something.
...
...
Four minutes later.
Bai Wu once again slowly woke up.
The first thing he did upon waking was to check if there were any strange changes to his body.
Before the death overtook him in the previous scene, driven by instinct to survive, Bai Wu had once again activated Taotie, planning to heal himself.
But the stimulation before dying made him recall some details.
Elijah, who looked bizarre like a chimera, was most likely the result of Taotie. Indeed, after using Taotie to kill a muscled man in an effort to save his life last time, Bai Wu felt minor changes to his own body.
Fortunately, it was a positive feedback; the muscular definition became more pronounced—in other words, increase in attractiveness +1.
This also meant that there was a chance of becoming one’s opponent when using this mysterious Sequence.
"Thank goodness... I would rather die in this plane than carry a green glow on me."
This time Bai Wu was lucky; the random location where he respawned was in the bathroom, with no Evil Fallen around, sparing him the terrible start of dying again right after being resurrected.
He took a moment to survey the room.
"When observing Mr. Hulk earlier, the remarks noted that the plane had a hidden bomb, which was the last straw that broke the Green Giant..."
"If I find the bomb... and dismantle it, could that solve the mystery of this area?"
