“Bang!””Da da da da!”

Just as they were about to reach their destination, gunshots rang out.

“Stop!”

Zhao Yu quickly ordered the team to stop, pulling out the eight-times magnification scope he had detached from a sniper rifle and peered into the distance.

A farm was ablaze with the flames reaching high into the sky. A giant beast, three to four meters in size, was rampaging about.

“A Radiation Beast?!”

Zhao Yu was not expecting to find a Radiation Beast in the farm.

“Where are the mutants?!”

According to the mission briefing, there should be a considerable number of mutants here.

Through the scope, he could only see one Radiation Beast.

After observing for a while, Zhao Yu noticed that this Radiation Beast seemed weaker than the one he had previously encountered near Meng House Village.

Bullets hitting its body caused visible splatters of blood, indicating that conventional weapons could pierce its defenses.

“Is that…”

Suddenly, Zhao Yu’s attention was drawn to a particular weapon, and he was astonished, “They have a cannon?!”

Inside the farm, roughly a hundred meters away from the Radiation Beast, a large cannon was being pushed into position.

This made Zhao Yu even more confused. From what he could see, this farm’s combat capability was nearly a hundred armed soldiers.

Besides, there were many farmers wielding picks and hoes as weapons.

With the farm’s combat strength, even several hundred mutants should be manageable.

Any more than that would exceed the system’s defined power scope for him.

“Boom-!”

As he pondered, the cannon roared.

The blast covered a hundred-meter distance in no time, leaving the Radiation Beast with no chance to dodge. The shot landed directly on the beast.

Zhao Yu intently observing the Radiation Beast’s movements.

He had never seen a Radiation Beast was successfully hunted down before.

Even the likes of Meng Xian and his group were chased away by one.

Was this farm even stronger than Meng Xian’s group?

While lost in thought, the Radiation Beast collapsed to the ground, and the surrounding crowd erupted in a burst of cheers.

” They won!?”

By the looks of it, the Radiation Beast didn’t seem that tough, did it?!

“Shhhh—!”

The situation took an unexpected turn.

The corpse of the Radiation Beast that had just fallen in the farm began to swell, much like a dead whale, its body turning into a spherical shape.

“Bang!”

As the body of the Radiation Beast expanded to its limit, a sound comparable to a cannonball explosion echoed.

A reddish-yellow gas rapidly spread out.

“What is that?!”

Zhao Yu quickly leapt down from the tall tree, intending to flee, when a faint, fragrant smell reached his nostrils.

However, Zhao Yu and his group could not outrun the speed of the wind. A trace of the gas had already entered his respiratory system. Soon after, Zhao Yu felt a dizziness enveloping his brain. His entire body seemed unresponsive.

Especially around his buttocks, there was an odd sensation, as if something wanted to break free.

Poisoned!!

Zhao Yu wobbled and fell to the ground with a “thud.”

“Thud!” “Thud!” Successive sounds of bodies falling echoed.

The surrounding soldiers had also inhaled the mysterious gas, swaying unsteadily.

“Damn it, am I going to mutate and die here?!”

Fear gripped Zhao Yu, suspecting himself might turn into a monster.

It felt as his entire body was changing.

After a while, he felt nothing.

“It’s over…”

Just when he was consumed by despair, the growing sensation behind him abruptly vanished.

At the same time, his body’s uncontrollable state gradually faded, and strength returned to his hands.

Zhao Yu clenched his fist, feeling as though he could control his body again, and the drowsiness in his brain suddenly disappeared.

“Am 1 okay now?!”

He got up and quickly checked himself and found no serious injuries. Especially after inspecting his rear several times, there was no abnormal growth.

“Are you all okay?!”

Zhao Yu looked at the surrounding soldiers. They had already stood up, meticulously following the last given order, standing still.

Looking around and issuing a few commands, he found every soldier seemed normal with no mutation trace.

“What just happened?!”

Zhao Yu suspected it might have been related to the explosion after the death of the Radiation Beast.

He climbed the tree again, took out his scope and looked towards the farm. To his shock, the farm was overrun by mutants.

On the outskirts, he witnessed a living human grow a tail over a meter long from behind.

“Oh My…”

He soon realized that after their transformation, the skin of the people in the farm began to change, becoming gray like the mutants, with scattered cracks appearing.

At first, Zhao Yu saw signs of people struggling. But within minutes, there were no humans left in sight. All that remained were creatures identical to the mutants.

At this point, he understood: this was the origin of the mutants!

“When a Radiation Beast dies, it explodes, releasing a gas that transforms living humans into mutants…”

Zhao Yu was learning about the origin of the mutants for the first time. Previously, he had heard it was due to radiation, but now it appeared to be because of the Radiation Beast.

“So, today’s daily mission is to clear out these freshly mutated creatures?!”
