Chapter 2709: Chapter 1833: One After Another
There’s a saying that suits well, the Hive City is like a swamp of filth, on the surface it seems calm, but once you step into it, all sorts of demons and monsters emerge.
Just like now.
Duanmu Huai decisively abandoned the idea of suppressing the riot first, and instead began a massacre in the Nest District. Obviously, Mutants and Chaos Believers were a huge threat, but when the Hive Mind descended from the sky, it was a completely different matter. Duanmu Huai would rather have a solo fight with a Great Demon than swim through the swarm of insects. After all, the former wasn’t much of an effort to deal with, but the latter was an entirely different story. He had no interest in Human Sea Tactics.
Not to mention that this time his target was the Chaos Evil God, and he didn’t want to waste time entangling with the Hive Mind.
However, the Gene Stealers here were equally troublesome.
Hybrid Gene Stealers were manageable; aside from having a few more arms than humans, they weren’t particularly strong. But Pure Blood Gene Stealers were entirely different. Their claws carried a Decomposition Force Field, capable of ripping through even Astarte’s Tao Steel Armor with ease, and even Terminators would meet their end once a Pure Blood Gene Stealer got too close.
Fortunately, Pure Blood Gene Stealers generally belonged to the glass cannon category, although their claws could tear through the armor of Star Warriors, their bodies were just ordinary flesh, and enough firepower could take them down.
Even so, after Duanmu Huai commanded Space Undead Soldiers to completely clean out this Nest District, he lost more than half of his Undead Soldiers — the close combat ability of Pure Blood Chicken Thieves truly was a headache, even Space Undead Soldiers couldn’t come out unscathed.
"Hiss—————!"
Duanmu Huai swung the Chainsaw Sword sharply, chopping down the clawing Gene Stealer Clan Leader before him, then stomped it into a pulp with a kick.
"What a damn misfortune."
Spitting on the Gene Stealer’s corpse before him, Duanmu Huai sheathed his Chainsaw Sword and looked around, only to see the entire Nest District now engulfed in burning flames. Clearly, nothing useful would remain in this damned place. That’s precisely what Duanmu Huai wanted to see, all Aliens had to be exterminated, no exceptions. Although they weren’t Duanmu Huai’s main target, it didn’t stop him from wiping them out along the way.
Duanmu Huai turned back to the street entrance where Mary was standing, surveying the surroundings. Seeing Duanmu Huai emerge, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Duanmu, you’re okay."
"I’m fine... where’s Satori?"
"Over there."
Mary gestured to the side, and Duanmu Huai saw Mianmu Zuoniao in the distance at the street corner, holding a knife and staring at a woman in front of her. The woman seemed to be an ordinary Nest District resident, dressed in dirty, tattered clothes, clutching a child in her arms, anxiously watching the young girl before her.
"Please, let us pass, this child will die!"
The woman tightly held the child in her arms, loudly pleading, yet Mianmu Zuoniao just cheerfully stared at her, saying nothing.
"First generation, huh."
Duanmu Huai glanced at the scene, immediately understanding the situation. Gene Stealers use something like a little yellow notebook method to inject genetic contamination into humans, causing them to give birth to hybrid Gene Stealers. Importantly, these individuals would be contaminated by the Gene Stealers, unable to recognize what kind of monster their offspring truly was.
Therefore, even though Duanmu Huai, Mary, and Mianmu Zuoniao saw clearly the twisted Alien infant with four little arms and a wide-open mouth full of sharp teeth lying in the swaddle, to its mother, it was just her child, simply that.
But to the Tribunal, it was equally simple, it was an Alien, a Gene Stealer. Although Duanmu Huai had already killed the Clan Leader, this group would quickly evolve a new leader, who would then contaminate humans again, creating a clan, calling upon the Hive Mind to come and devour all life along with themselves here.
So, there was only one thing to be done.
"Crash."
The dilapidated building collapsed again with sparks, causing the woman to scream, and she seemed to make up her mind, quickly drawing a dagger from her waist and charging at Mianmu Zuoniao.
The result was self-evident.
The glistening sharp blade pierced straight through the swaddle hanging on the woman’s chest, then pierced her heart, and with a flash of the sword in Mianmu Zuoniao’s hand, the mother and child were ruthlessly cut in two, falling backward. Soon, some burning broken planks fell down, completely burying the two corpses.
"She only had to stand still."
Mianmu Zuoniao smiled cheerfully as she glanced over there, then flicked the blood off her sword, sheathed it, and skipped over to Duanmu Huai.
"She’s impressive."
Mary sighed softly.
"That’s why when I first saw her, I knew she suited the Tribunal well."
Duanmu Huai nodded; that’s why he brought Mianmu Zuoniao back. She lacked the usual ethical and moral standards; to Duanmu Huai, Mianmu Zuoniao was like the embodiment of the Tribunal, eager to kill all non-human entities (as Mianmu Zuoniao puts it, she just wants to kill, without reason. Duanmu Huai believes this might be connected to some internal essence as Alice Phil said, whatever that origin was called), and enjoying the process.
