Chapter 352: Giant Eye Under the Red Fog

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the forest, by a stream.

From afar, they saw a few military-issued items lying in the mud.

Feng Tao walked over and squatted down to take a look. “It’s a water bottle, backpack, and flashlight from the Southwest Air Force Base.”

“Were they captured by the mutant creatures?” Chen Yiming walked over and asked.

Feng Tao’s expression was solemn. He stood up and jumped around, searching for clues. “Other than the footprints that were dragged along, I didn’t find anything else. They should have been captured without being able to put up any resistance.”

Since they had already been captured, Chen Yiming could only use his force. After all, he didn’t have much time to waste.

He extended his terrifying spiritual power and swept it in all directions. In an instant, he confirmed that the footprints were pointing towards Delhi City.

Delhi City?

Had the higher-ups been mutated?

Other than this possibility, Chen Yiming couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.

If there was no special reason, the two pilots would have been killed on the spot if they encountered a mutant creature that they could not defeat.

Once the terrifying spiritual power was retracted, Feng Tao was able to recover from the suffocating feeling. He said in fear, “This is unbelievable.”

At that moment, the air in his vision was distorted. Due to the spiritual pressure, he found it difficult to think.

It was like he was in a dream. In the dream, he was conscious, but he could not control his own movements.

Chen Yiming coughed and said, “The pilots should be imprisoned in a corner of Delhi City. There might be a bit of a commotion later. Take note of the situation and hide. Take care of your own safety.”

As an expert at the peak of the warrior realm, Feng Tao had more than enough strength to protect himself. Chen Yiming’s words were just a warning to him.

After all, once he made a move, only the heavens knew if Delhi City would still remain standing. Although he would indeed be the one who had destroyed it, he still had to protect his reputation.

If he accidentally razed the capital of the Ganges Kingdom to the ground, since this land was originally that of another country, Feng Tao would need to communicate with the spokesperson from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to avoid condemnation from the western powers.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. I won’t cause any trouble,” Feng Tao nodded and agreed.

The higher-ups had given him detailed instructions on how to get along with Chen Yiming before inviting him to the Southwest Air Force Base.

This involved viewing things from different perspectives. At that time, Feng Tao had memorized every single word of the information in a book that was dozens of pages long. Therefore, they had generally gotten along quite well.

After discussing it, the two of them rushed to Delhi City.

…

After entering the outskirts of Delhi City, a stench filled the air.

Chen Yiming frowned and held his breath in disdain, determined not to let the dirty air enter his body.

“Can people still live here?”

Feng Tao also held his breath and looked at the city not far away.

There were collapsed city walls, damaged streets, and desolate buildings. Other than the mutants, there were no other living creatures.

Furthermore, from the behavior of the mutants, they did not care about the normal operation of the city at all. All the public facilities had stopped working.

At this moment, in the field, a mutant human with a long tail let out a roar and rushed out when he saw that someone had dared to barge into the territory of Delhi City.

His appearance was similar to a lizardman. As he ran, his long tail maintained its balance. His fingers were sharp claws that shone with a metallic luster, and there were dark red bloodstains on them.

“Do you understand the language of the Ganges Kingdom?”

Chen Yiming turned to Feng Tao without even sparing a glance for the mutant human.

“As long as it’s not a dialect, I can understand and speak the official language of the Ganges Kingdom. As for the languages of the various states, I only understand them a little,” Feng Tao replied.

Chen Yiming nodded and turned to look at the mutant human.

The fierce glint in the mutant human’s eyes had disappeared, and he was in a daze. He naturally lowered his hands as he walked towards the two of them.

“What’s your name?”

“Cartis.”

Feng Tao turned to Chen Yiming and said, “He’s speaking the official language of the Ganges Kingdom. The original human might have been a native of Delhi City.”

As the person in charge of the Southwest Air Force Base, Feng Tao had dealt with the neighboring countries many times over the years, especially the people from the capitals of the various South Asian countries.

As soon as the other party spoke, he could tell that he had grown up in the capital.

Soon, Feng Tao obtained a lot of valuable information from the other party.

Unlike the situation in the Daxia Kingdom where the mutant humans were not organized in any manner, the mutant humans here actually adhered to some level of organization, even though it was only a loose hierarchy.

This mutant human was equivalent to a city guard and was in charge of patrolling the fields outside Delhi City.

Not long ago, when he was resting in the fields, he happened to see a group of mutant humans pushing two living people into the city.

As for where they were imprisoned after entering the city, the mutant human did not know either. He could only provide the location of the dungeon where the ‘food’ was kept.

In the eyes of the mutant humans, living people had nothing to do with their own kind. Instead, they were treated as food that provided them with energy.

“The two pilots were specially captured. They shouldn’t be placed in the dungeon with the ‘food’.” Feng Tao voiced his judgment.

Chen Yiming nodded. He thought so too.

The reason why he did not make a decision immediately was because he had thought about the pressure that the Daxia Kingdom was facing from their neighbors.

When faced with the scene of their companions being captured for ‘food’, if they were rescued, the seeds of hatred for the mutant humans would be planted in their hearts.

Although the people from the Ganges Kingdom were known for being lazy, among those in which the seeds of hatred were planted, there would always be someone who would stand up and try to lead the remaining people from the Ganges Kingdom to fight against the mutant humans.

At that time, the Daxia Kingdom could provide some supplies and keep the conflict between humans and the mutant creatures within the Ganges Kingdom as long as possible to ensure they could develop the space plan in peace.

…

The air was distorted by a powerful spiritual power.

Chen Yiming and Feng Tao entered Delhi City openly through a hole in the city wall.

Along the way, due to the influence of Chen Yiming’s spiritual power, the mutant creatures became sluggish wherever they passed. They turned a blind eye to the distorted air.

“He’s too powerful!”

Feng Tao looked at him in admiration. As an expert at the peak of the warrior realm, the breakthrough to the next stage involved materializing his spiritual power.

When he thought about how his illusory spiritual power could not even move a stone, and compared it to what he had seen and heard, his confidence was shaken.

The two of them walked around the city.

In order not to alert the enemy in advance, Chen Yiming kept the range of his spiritual power within a 100-meter radius. He carefully searched every single one of the secret rooms that might contain the two pilots.

Not long after, they finally found the secret underground room where the two pilots were held.

The entrance was a three-story-tall concrete house. The guards were not weak, and a mutant rhinoceros was lying at the door. There were eight mutant humans in the house.

“…”

Before Feng Tao could make out how each of the mutant humans looked, they fell to the ground one after another.

The pupils of the mutant rhinoceros in front of him gradually dilated. Clearly, it had died instantly.

Immediately after, a huge hole appeared in the ground. The two pilots were lifted up by an invisible force and dropped to the ground by the roadside.

“Chief!”

“Chief!”

When the two pilots saw Feng Tao, tears welled up in their eyes. They looked like they had encountered a life-and-death situation and barely survived with their lives

“It’s good that you’re alive! It’s good that you’re alive!”

Feng Tao repeated himself twice and hugged the two of them.

The two of them were the best pilots under him. On the surface, they were his subordinates, but in private, they were like brothers.

“Were they that hungry?”

Chen Yiming noticed the wounds on their bodies. Several pieces of flesh had been bitten off their shoulders and thighs, and a thin layer of blood had formed over the gaps.

If not for the fact that the two of them had a good foundation in martial arts and that their physiques were far stronger than that of ordinary people, they would have either died from their injuries or bled to death. They would not have been able to survive until help arrived.

Furthermore, hunger was related to food. If the mutant humans were hungry, the underlying reason could not be more obvious.

This made him unable to place too much hope on the remaining survivors from the Ganges Kingdom. The difference in numbers between the two sides might be much greater than what they had seen.

…

“Boom!”

Suddenly, an oval-shaped entrance more than 10 meters wide appeared in the east of Delhi City.

Before the mutants guarding the area could react, the mutant creatures within a few kilometers of the explosion died on the spot and fell to the ground almost at the same time.

It was as if a death wave had swept through the area.

At the same time, the dungeons underground suffered a similar attack. The defense was broken in the blink of an eye, and the locks on the dungeons automatically fell off.

“Run!”

It was unknown who shouted, but the imprisoned ‘food’ started to get restless. They quickly rushed out of the dungeon and rushed towards the exit.

The scene was like an escape from hell.

10 minutes later, the hundreds of thousands of people did not face any resistance and stepped on the corpses of the mutant creatures along the way as they rushed out of Delhi City.

“This is actually the last batch of survivors in Delhi City!”

Feng Tao said in shock as he stood on a small hill outside the city.

“When looking for the pilots in the city, we walked through most of the city. Other than a few corners that we missed, I can confirm that most of the living people were imprisoned in the dungeons.” Chen Yiming nodded.

This was a cruel truth. He had to admit that the situation in the Ganges Kingdom was far more serious than he had expected.

So what if those who survived had rushed out of the city? How long could they hide from the mutant creatures in the wilderness?

Perhaps before they could organize an effective counterattack, the survivors would become refugees and flee to the area around the Daxia Kingdom, where the situation was more stable.

Feng Tao looked away, unable to calm down for a long time.

It had to be known that in the Ganges Kingdom, Delhi City was equivalent to the capital of the Daxia Kingdom. Now, it had actually been brought down so far by the mutant creatures.

It was hard to imagine what it would be like when the true black tide descended. Would the Daxia Kingdom still be able to make it in time?

At this moment, the two pilots cleaned up their wounds and wrapped them up in bandages before standing up.

Every time they moved, they would still grimace in pain. However, after disinfecting the wounds with alcohol and cutting off the rotten flesh, at least they no longer had to worry about their injuries and could still move on their own.

Seeing this, Feng Tao thought of something and asked, “Xiao Zhang, Xiao Fan, did the two of you see the red fog spreading out from Mount Everest before you jumped off?”

Xiao Zhang shook his head. He had fallen with his back facing the direction of Mount Everest, so he did not see anything.

Xiao Fan said in an uncertain tone, “When I was jumping down, I thought I saw a huge eye flash past. I don’t know if my eyes were playing tricks on me.”

A huge eye?

Chen Yiming frowned.

Could it be like the shadow monster that was hiding in the no man’s land in the southwest?

However, this was a little strange. If the huge eye had been hiding on Mount Everest, why didn’t it join forces with the shadow monster back then? Why did it let the shadow monster be devoured by the shadow mouth on the moon?

Could it be that there was also discord within the members of the black tide? Was there a conflict? Was it to the extent that they would not do anything even if one of them died?

“After the two of you were captured, did you encounter any mutant humans with a high status?” Chen Yiming asked, trying to get more information.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Fan both shook their heads and said, “After being brought to the secret underground room, other than being bitten a few times, we just stayed there until we were rescued.”

Seeing this, Feng Tao said, “Could it be that those mutant humans with high status headed to Mount Everest after the fighter jets fell into the red fog? After all, the huge eye’s target should be the fragments of the extraordinary weapons.”

Chen Yiming thought about it. This possibility seemed to be very likely.

It was impossible for there to be no trace of the mutant creatures that ruled the city. In that case, from the beginning to the end, the mutant creatures in the entire city would be in a state of disunity.

With just one simple move, he had released hundreds of thousands of people from the city.

The one leading the mutant creatures in the Ganges Kingdom was very likely the huge eye hiding on Mount Everest. Mount Everest was not too far from Delhi City, and it was enough for the huge eye to hide in the darkness and be the mastermind.

Even if this explanation made sense, there were still some inconsistencies that could not be fully explained.

Were the fragments of extraordinary weapons that attractive?

In the past, the shadow monster had carried eight complete extraordinary weapons. Compared to the fragments of the extraordinary weapons on the futuristic fighter jets, it was obvious that they would not be at the same level.
