Chapter 239: Limited Nine Seconds

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Everything changed too quickly. No one had thought that the main force, who everyone had all believed were safe because they stayed in the rear, would actually all turn into insect warriors.

Among the recruits in the rear main force, apart from the three-star martial artists that made up the majority of the force, there were still several dozen four-star martial artists.

Among the seven young experts of East Asia recruits, one was dead and one was seriously injured. The recruits who had lost their battle intent and morale could only be slaughtered by these insects. For a moment, intermittent blood-curdling cries and screams of panic rose and fell with no end in the forest.

A repeatedly roaring Okamoto Takeshi slowly stood that huge and robust body of his up. It was completely covered in hideous blue veins, many of which had already faded away. His thick pillar-like arms were now like deflated balloons.

His broken arms and several injuries in his body had made him temporarily lose a lot of his combat power. He raised his leg, kicking the recruit beside him, who was screaming for help, to vent the rage in his body.

The strange plateau was plagued with chaos.

Qin Fen kept his feet running all the time. There was too big of a gap in the strength of both sides. The desperate war hadn’t brought out any heroes, only death.

Ten seconds. It only took ten seconds to recharge the energy of the Thundercloud and turn it into a god of death that would wantonly reap lives.

In an ordinary day, ten seconds would pass in the blink of an eye. But today, these ten seconds were longer than a century.

If he halted his footsteps for even a second, he would very likely be entangled in the swarm of insect warriors, and in the next second, he would be facing thousands of insect warriors.

If he truly had the strength of eight elephants, Qin Fen would still dare to plant his feet on the ground and return to battle.

Only when they could really get rid of the pursuit of insect warriors and had prepared all the thunderstorms could they really fight back and kill them in this life or death situation.

At this moment, Qin Fen’s spirit had returned to the state of his days in the Golden Triangle. It was as if he could clearly sense every rustle in the grass and trees all around him. Perhaps, the purpose of his mission to the Golden Triangle back then was to cope with today’s situation?

In the grass, an insect warrior that was hiding suddenly bolted out like a cannonball. Immediately after, the huge Thunderstorm smashed down on it like a warhammer.

The robust insect warrior, in the face of a weapon weighing over seven hundred pounds, also became so weak that it could not withstand even one blow. In the blink of an eye, its head and body were completely smashed into meat paste.

Before the mashed insect warrior could fall on the ground, another early-stage insect warrior jumped out of the grass.

Facing Qin Fen, who had recovered his battle state, the surprise attacks that had no prior indications were no longer sneak attacks anymore. With just a random turn of his elbow, every early-stage insect warrior that suddenly jumped out of the grass was mashed into meat paste. Even the shell covering their backs were smashed into pieces.

Along the way, insect warriors made many sneak attacks. But as long they rushed out and attacked, they were beaten to death by Qin Fen in the most direct and efficient manner, without any exception. Superb martial sense range, coupled with his firm and fierce power, a lone insect warrior in front of Qin Fen could only die. They were unable to take even a single blow.

Occasionally, a few insect warriors who didn’t attack Qin Fen were instantly cut into pieces by Du Peng’s hands instantly.

“Is there anyone alive?”

Through the tactical communicator on Deng Biao’s back that he didn’t have the time to throw away, the voice of a woman gasping for breath entered everyone’s ear along with the howls of biting cold winds.

“Is there anyone alive?”

In the call, Lin Jiaxuan’s voice sounded a bit rushed.

“Yes.” Du Peng hesitated a little as he received the communicator from Deng Biao before quickly replying.

The voice through the communicator suddenly stopped. After a few seconds, Lin Jiaxuan’s voice filled with joy came again, “How many of you are still there?”

“A dozen?”

Suddenly, a hubbub of noises came from the communicator over that side. Apparently, apart from Qin Fen and the others, other recruits of East Asia had also survived.

“Is it safe over there?” Lin Jiaxuan anxiously asked once more.

“No.” Du Peng asked back, “What about your side?”

“We...” Lin Jiaxuan slightly hesitated before quickly answering, “We found a cave, it’s safe for the time being.”

Hearing the word “cave”, Qin Fen and the others’ scalp could not help but tingle.

“Cave?” Qin Fen slightly waited for Du Beng before grabbing the communicator and asking, “Look around a bit, are there any protruding round rocks around the cave walls?”

“Qin Fen? Are you Qin Fen? You are still alive!” Lin Jiaxuan’s voice was filled with a bit of happiness. “You can find my current coordinates through the LCD screen on the tactical caller. Come here quickly!”

“I am still alive! Answer my question.” Qin Fen angrily shouted at the microphone, “Are there any protruding round rocks in your cave?”

The communicator on the other side went silent for a few seconds before a similar angry voice of Lin Jiaxuan returned through the communicator. “No, our cave isn’t that big, there aren’t any of those monsters that you are talking about.”

Qin Fen took a quick look at the light spot on the communicator. To his surprise, Lin Jiaxuan’s location wasn’t in the rear but on the right front. Apparently, Yang Jiwu didn’t just wait for the news after sending out the first batch of eight hundred recruits, he deployed a lot of back-ups as well.

Having slightly adjusted his direction, Qin Fen quickly approached Lin Jiaxuan’s location.

In the cave hidden behind the weeds and bushes, Lin Jiaxuan tried to adjust her pounding heart. From the squad of fifty-some men, only twenty-seven people were alive now. Everyone else had died under the hands of new recruits whose bodies had suddenly metamorphosed.

By contacting the base camp, she knew that much more of those monsters had appeared there. Furthermore, the majority of the recruits that had stayed at the base camp had soon died.

Judging by that quick and panicking response at that time, Lin Jiaxuan could clearly feel the cruelty of the scene on the side of the base camp.

Lin Jiaxuan could not help but wonder how lucky she was to be sent out to carry a mission. Even luckier, she was able to find temporary shelter in the cave.

Shashasha...

A rustle of rapid footsteps sounded outside the cave, followed by Deng Biao’s voice.

“Old Qin, according to the display, it should be nearby.”

“Over there.” Qin Fen pointed at a bunch of well-camouflaged shrubs and said, “It should be there.”

“Old Qin, that’s a shrub...” Before Deng Biao could finish speaking, Du Peng had already reached out to spread the bushes away. The cave wasn’t that big. What’s more, it was emitting cold air bit by bit, like it was the mouth of a giant ancient beast, trying to swallow everyone.

Deng Biao was stunned. There was indeed a cave behind the bushes.

Standing at the entrance of the cave was a woman in military uniform. A beauty he was barely familiar with.

Lin Jiaxuan was staring at Qin Fen who was outside the cave in a daze. From the speech earlier, this man should have just arrived. How can he find the exact location of the cave at first sight without any rest or observation? Is the camouflage I learned from the elementary school really so bad in the eyes of this recruit?

Qin Fen lightly waved his hand as everyone wormed their way into the cave in a single file. Xue Tian fumbled about Yang Jiwu’s body and found the pills he was carrying.

There were Berserker Pills and Armor Pills, as well as various other pills for traumatic and internal injuries. It was quite apparent that this Young Wolf King indeed had a high position in his family. It could be said that almost all kinds of medicine were readily available to him.

Quickly opening Yang Jiwu’s mouth, Xue Tian threw several pills inside. Whether he could save this seriously injured young man depended on whether his will was strong enough, and whether his eight characters* were good enough, and whether he was fated to die or not.

Blocking the outermost part of the cave entrance, Qin Fen laid the Thunderstorm on the ground and took out an energy device similar to the size of a TV remote control from the ammo cache. And then, he quickly started changing the weapon’s energy device at a faster speed.

Nine seconds! Generally, it took ten seconds to finish changing the energy device, but today, it only took nine seconds. The tremendous pressure did not overwhelm Qin Fen and make him tense. On the contrary, he was motivated and progressed further under the pressure.

Before Lin Jiaxuan could recover from the shock of Qin Fen finding the entrance of the cave in an instant, she was once again shocked by the speed of changing the energy device in such a highly skilled fashion.

Such speed had already caught up with the speed of precision instruments of assembly lines. Only the ace mobile armor maintenance engineer in the military could achieve such speed.

Modifying the internal art when unauthorized, seeing through the camouflage at a glance, running at high speed while carrying over things weighing over a thousand pounds on his back, and being able to replace the energy device so quickly!? Lin Jiaxuan shook her head vigorously and kept on asking herself. What on Earth can this man not do?

After re-adjusting everything, Qin Fen slightly stepped into the cave entrance and put his hand on Yang Jiwu’s wrist vein, slowly transfusing a stream of Rejuvenation Art true energy into his body.

That one palm of Okamoto Takeshi was extremely powerful. It not only smashed away the protective true energy of Yang Jiwu, it also shattered the bones in his arms. At the same time, tyrannical true energy rushed into his body, completely breaking many of his meridians and leaving a lot of damage to his internal organs.

Taking a few pills could not save a man’s life who had suffered such injuries. Yang Jiwu’s strong will to survive could only bring him back from the dead but will leave him crippled. His martial dao could never progress further. And there would be a pitiful phenomenon of constant retrogression.

The Rejuvenation Art barely connected Yang Jiwu’s broken meridians for the time being, at the same time, it made sure that he would keep on hanging to his final breath. Gradually, Qin Fen withdrew his palm.

What happens next depended on Yang Jiwu’s luck and his will to survive. All the things that could be done in these simple conditions had been done.

The miserable screams of new recruits in the mountain forest had already ceased to exist. Even the strange screams of insect warriors had stopped.

Lightly touching the gun’s body, Qin Fen carefully checked the status of the weapon. When they were just breaking out of the encirclement, he had used the Thunderstorm like a hammer.

Fortunately, everything was normal.

After having finished with the inspection, Qin Fen’s restless heart finally calmed down.

Maybe the insect warriors were too shocking for them, or maybe everyone was still unfamiliar with each other. But all in all, the quietness in the cave was terribly unbearable.

Not long after, a recruit muttered to himself, “Didn’t we came here to participate in a drill? How did it become like this?”

In the eyes of other recruits, there was a similar confusion apart from the fear. How could the new recruits East and West Asia who were having a mock confrontation with each other walk into such a plight in the blink of an eye?

Qin Fen raised his eyes, looking at Chen Feiyu. The man who is hiding a secret will be the most silent.
