Chapter 166 The Mutant Invasion
The group walked cautiously for over an hour, and fortunately, they did not encounter any mutated species along the way.
The long period of peace gradually put their minds at ease, leading them to believe that the instructors must have confirmed their safety before allowing them to come.
"We've only been military academy students for less than a month. The school wouldn't be so cruel as to let something bad happen to us who finally got in..." Luo Youhui said confidently.
Suddenly, Xi Yu stopped advancing, a hint of seriousness in her eyes: "Stop, there's a mutated creature coming towards us."
Luo Youhui quickly activated the explorer to carefully investigate the surrounding area. If any mutated species approached, the explorer would issue a warning.
However, the alarm indicator light remained green, clearly indicating that no danger had been detected. After spending half a day together, Luo Youhui knew that Xi Yu was not one to speak without reason; she must have sensed something.
Xi Yu immediately instructed, "Zi Lu, Zuo Ling, You Hui, climb up the tree and concentrate your fire on the mutated species as soon as they arrive."
Then Xi Yu looked at Fang Yiqing, the man who hadn't said a word.
"You can snipe from a tree up ahead, the target is about 800 meters away, can you do that?" she said confidently.
Fang Yiqing glanced at her, then climbed up the tallest tree in front of him without saying a word.
Shooting a target 800 meters away in a jungle full of obstacles is simply impossible! Unless he can find a high vantage point, but this tree isn't tall enough.
"Aim at the direction of two points clockwise, the distance is 750 meters." Xi Yu below gave Fang Yiqing a precise location.
With the location and distance known, Fang Yiqing could shoot even if he couldn't see the target. The weapon in his hand was a military-grade Y-07 sniper rifle with extremely strong penetrating power, capable of easily penetrating three thick walls.
Without delay, Fang Yiqing adjusted his angle and fired immediately after Xi Yu gave him the location.
Luo Youhui then realized why the explorer hadn't issued a warning: the explorer's detection range for mutants was within 500 meters, but the mutant that Xi Yu had discovered was 800 meters away!
Luo Youhui was puzzled as to why Xi Yu was able to detect the threat from such a distance.
But the current situation left him no time to think, because Fang Yiqing accurately hit the target. The mutated creature that had been shot let out a huge roar, and everyone dared not relax and quickly went into alert mode.
Fang Yiqing's shot missed the mutant's vital head, and the attacked mutant seemed to go berserk, charging towards their direction.
Fang Yiqing then fired two more bullets. The mutated creature, now on guard, dodged one bullet, while the other hit its head but failed to shatter its core.
"They're coming!!" Fang Yiqing shouted a reminder. The distance had already eliminated the advantage of sniping, and everyone had to concentrate their firepower.
The mutant rushed to their ambush site in the next second, and everyone was able to see its ugly face.
This is a mutated species resembling a deer. It was originally an ordinary deer that mutated due to a virus infection, resulting in its current state as a living corpse. The mutated species is actually something that parasitizes a corpse after an unknown virus has corrupted the host's brain.
The mutated species, already in a corpse state, possess an immortal body; they can only be completely eliminated if the main core of their brain is completely destroyed.
