Chapter 123  The Abandoned Research Base <2>

But now that mutation had happened, these weapon might only become ordinary weapons now.

Well, at the very least, they should be useful against these giant mutated animals because it would be using the power of the same element to deal with them. With these weapons, they could at least avoid using nuclear weapon that could potentially kill every living being in the area.

That would be extremely dangerous as they would not only kill the people but also the environment. No one will be able to live in that area anymore after the nuclear weapon exploded because of the radiation and so on.

"Enter?" Dylan didn\'t seem to be perturbed in the slightest bit when he heard of the vitality rate.

Probably, he simply didn\'t care about that.

"What are the giant mutated animals here?" Jake asked another question.

"Ants infestation." Kyle had seen the report and it was said that there were countless ants here. Unlike other giant mutated animals, ants lived in a colony and would be hard to deal with because they could definitely dig the ground.

The research base was located underground and it was precisely because they were underground that they encountered these giant mutated ants. There was a nearby colony that undergone mutation, causing these giant mutated ants to become large and hard to deal with.

"Their exterior should be very hard now that they\'re giant mutated ants, right?" Jake frowned. Would his metal be able to pierce through these giant mutated ants\' outer shell?

He felt somewhat unconfident suddenly.

"Are you not afraid?" Lotte glared at her boyfriend.

Jake looked at Lotte. "Well, even if we\'re afraid, someone had to do this job, right? Anyway, do you want to back out?"

"Not if you continue."

"Yes, you\'re indeed the best!"

"Hands off! What the hell are you doing out here?!"

Dylan looked away from these two lovebirds and looked at the door in front of him. It has been broken a long time ago and there were traces of blood on the ground, signifying that there should be someone who had entered this building before them.

But their fate was not good.

"Are there anyone inside right now?"

"Not on the first floor." Lotte had already used her ability to scan the first floor. However, she had also noticed the stairs that were heading down. Because it was made of metal and so sturdy, her wind element couldn\'t detect anything.

Kyle patted Kate, who was looking below. "How about down there, Little Kitty?"

"Meow." <A lot of ants roaming around.>

"Wait, how do you know that there are a lot of ants down there?" Lotte was stunned. She thought that Jake was kidding with her when he said that the little cat was very powerful. After all, she had only seen the space ability so far.

But now, she realized that this little cat might be the same as her, dual ability user.

"She\'s of healing department too." Kyle then nodded at Jake, who stepped forward and opened the door. The room was messy and the smell of blood was very strong. It was unknown how much time had passed since these people had died because the smell of rotten corpses and the metallic tang of blood was too clear for them.

Lotte was stunned. She had seen the healing department user from City C because they departed together to City B at that time. However, the healer was definitely not someone who could detect other\'s presence with his ability.

She was confused.

"This is the door." Kyle looked at the door. "Any giant mutated ants down there?"

"I can\'t sense anything while being blocked by this door." Lotte felt a bit embarrassed. She was supposed to be the scout, but her limited ability was still restricted because she couldn\'t see everything clearly when there were things blocking her. This door was one of the few examples.

"Little Kitty?"

"Meow." <A lot of ants and their eggs are right down here.>

"A lot of ants and their eggs are right down here." Lotte decided that being a translator was not bad either. At the very least, she felt that she was somewhat useful in this team.

"Got it."

Kyle opened the door and then threw several bombs before closing the door again. This door was made out of metal and was pretty sturdy. However, they still backed several steps away and Jake used his metal to reinforce the door to avoid getting the impact.

BOOM!

The bomb exploded and the earth shook a bit. There was frantic movement below and Kate had the feeling that this research institute might as well be abandoned. It has been infested so heavily by these giant mutated ants and didn\'t seem to be salvageable anymore.

"Let\'s enter."

Swish!

The group jumped down and landed on the broken floor. Kate looked at the hole at the side of the entrance and her whiskers twitched. It seemed that whoever designed this building had to be proud that his design was so strong that it could withstand the impact of several bombs.

This so called hallway was no longer the same hallway that one could imagine them. There were countless holes at the walls beside them and one room even lost the entire wall. If not for the some marks on the ground and ceiling that marked the fact that there were a wall here, no one would imagine that this used to be a room.

Countless giant mutated ants\'s corpses along with rotting humans\' corpse could be seen around them.

It was a gory sight.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. "Let\'s kill them all."

"Yes!" Jake felt disgusted, but he still raised his hand and collected the useful metals, using them to pierce towards these giant mutated ants that were coming towards them.

Jleb! Jleb! Jleb!

His metals were still useful as the giant mutated ants\' outer shell couldn\'t block against him. It might be due to the fact that these giant mutated ants were still of lower rank and not that high.

"Rank 1 to rank 2." Kyle estimated when he saw that they were being pierced so easily. With a wave of his hand, countless giant mutated ants were burned to death, leaving only their ashes and crystals.

Kate collected their crystals while looking around. She could actually see their white and black dots as usual, but she didn\'t have the heart to collect them when she saw the appearance of these giant mutated ants.

At this moment, she remembered the ant colony that her friend made and showed to her back then.

She felt that the ants were ugly.

And now that these ants turned into giant mutated ants, Kate still retained the same opinion as before. Some people liked these ants, but she was definitely not included among them.

She didn\'t like them.

Not in the slightest bit.

"Fairly weak." Lotte spread her wind element, looking at the situation in this floor. Her expression changed to anger when she saw the scene in the other areas. It was even more tragic there because she could see a lot of rotting corpses.

A lot of people died in this place.

And these giant mutated ants are using them as their food.

Lotte was very angry.

"Let\'s kill all of them." Lotte then formed countless wind blades and began to kill these giant mutated ants around them. She would not even a single one of these giant mutated ants so stay alive in the slightest bit.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The process could only be called as massacre.

With these giant mutated ants only being at rank 1 or 2, they were clearly not a match of these four rampaging awakened people. After an hour or two, they finally cleaned up the entire area of these giant mutated ants.

However, there were still several floors below.

Not to mention, the weapon that Kyle was asked to retrieve was located at the very bottom of this research base.

It wouldn\'t be as easy as this below.

"There are not as many giant mutated ants as I thought." Lotte sat down on a relatively well preserved table. It was only missing some corner a bit.

"The door heading downwards is closed. It\'s estimated that whoever come here before us is trying to prevent these giant mutated ants from climbing up by closing these doors. Unfortunately, they didn\'t manage to get out." Kyle shook his head.

Jake sighed. "Well, these giant mutated ants looked quite vulnerable, but their number are simply too much."

"Recover your strength. We\'re going to go down."

"Ok."

They knew that this was only the beginning. These giant mutated ants reproduced very quickly, so they knew that these giant mutated ants they solved just now was only the tip of the iceberg.
