Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 72: Encirclement

The exclamation wasn’t from any of the four individuals among Lin Shen and his group but from the people watching their exclusive images.

Many people who were watching the images had been attracted to this side.

In fact, since the beginning of the projection of the images from the sky, quite a few people had been drawn to Lin Shen’s four-person team.

There were handsome men, beautiful women, and tough guys; who wouldn’t want to watch?

Unfortunately, this half-day had passed, and the four of them only hid in the small woods without going anywhere, timid as a nest of mice, with nothing worth watching. In contrast, several other temporary teams had erupted into fights with Base Variant Creatures several times, some with casualties, which was even more eye-catching.

The number of people originally watching Lin Shen’s side had dwindled a lot, but after that Base Variant Creature walked out from the sea, it immediately caught the attention of many people, and a crowd turned their gaze this way.

The Base Variant Creature that emerged from the sea was clad in magnificent golden armor, holding a golden trident in its hand, resembling a statue of a Golden Deity.

Without mentioning anything else, the appearance of this Base Variant Creature was simply too eye-catching, all shining golden, reflecting dazzling glints of gold under the sunlight.

Over two meters tall, robust like a deity from Greek mythology donning golden armor, anyone who saw it would be dazzled.

“This Base Variant Creature looks so strong; it must be an Alloy Creature, right?”

“The sneaky small team of four is finally going to fight against a Base Variant Creature?”

“The four of them look young; I wonder if they’ve advanced to Alloy Level; will they dare to make a move?”

“They absolutely have to fight!”

“Fight what? They’d better run; those four have been hiding all along, certainly at lower levels, probably all Steel Level rookies. Facing it head-on would be like delivering themselves on a plate.”

“Such a dazzling Base Variant Creature, and it’s humanoid too; it would be great if it could be turned into a pet.”

“Stop dreaming, adult Base Variant Creatures almost never offer up their keys to become pets.”

At this moment, people seemed to suddenly rediscover the thrill those humans had over two hundred years ago when watching videos and live streams, except now the whole world was watching a grand live show together.

“Do we have a pet? Send one to test the waters.” Seeing the Base Variant Creature approaching them, likely having discovered them, Lin Shen said to Xu Tiange.

He was unwilling to use his own pets; those were his ammunition.

Xu Tiange, without any more words, directly threw out a Pet Capsule which transformed into an Iron-horned Horse upon landing on the beach.

“See, I told you, they only have an Iron-horned Horse for a pet; they must all be Steel Level, which is why they’ve been hiding and not daring to venture out.”

Upon seeing the Iron-horned Horse, someone immediately showed a look of disappointment. They didn’t want to watch a scene of Steel Level humans being slaughtered by Base Variant Creatures.

Some people felt that the players in the images weren’t that good; even they could have done it.

The Iron-horned Horse, following Xu Tiange’s command, charged towards the Base Variant Creature. When it got close, it lowered its head and struck with the horn on its forehead.

The Base Variant Creature, like a Golden Armored Deity, didn’t dodge or avoid. It didn’t even use the golden trident in its hand, instead extending its free hand and grabbing the horn of the Iron-horned Horse.

The Iron-horned Horse, charging fiercely, was abruptly stopped in its tracks. No matter how hard its hooves tried, they couldn’t move forward an inch, nor could they break free from the Base Variant Creature’s grasp, only slipping in place.

Crack!

The Base Variant Creature seemed to apply just a bit of strength and snapped off the Iron-horned Horse’s horn, casually throwing it on the ground.

The Iron-horned Horse, in agony, backed away with a scream, but before it could take two steps, it was suddenly impaled by the golden trident, pinned dead on the beach.

“So strong! That Golden Deity-like Base Variant Creature is explosively powerful.”

“Strength is secondary; the key is how cool it looks. That style, those moves—just too cool.”

“Now the four-person team is in trouble.”

“Quickly look, the Golden Deity is walking towards their hiding place; it must have discovered them.”

As the Golden Deity advanced step by step towards the small woods where the four were hiding, many people’s hearts were caught in their throats.

“Wei, it’s up to you,” Lin Shen glanced at Xu Tiange, who seemed somewhat evasive, and then spoke to Wei Wufu at his side.

Alloy Base Variant Creatures weren’t too much for Xu Tiange to handle, he still had the Crystal Base pet his old man had given him, and he could take care of a few more Alloy Creatures.

The problem was that Xu Tiange was unfamiliar with this area, unsure of the unique traits of the Base Variant Creatures here, and he didn’t want to take chances.

Lu Qing usually seemed to have a somewhat assertive personality, but Lin Shen understood her better. She was actually a girl who was rather indecisive internally, needing someone beside her to help make decisions, someone who needed guidance.

Wei Wufu responded and immediately walked out.

“This guy seems to be quite capable; among the four, his combat power must be the highest, right?”

“I suppose he could be Alloy Level, otherwise why would he dare to fight while the other three are hiding and not showing themselves?”

As people discussed, Wei Wufu suddenly exerted his strength and sprinted towards the Base Variant Creature, which also charged at Wei Wufu.

During the charge, a purple Alloy Carapace had already appeared on Wei Wufu’s body.

Clang!

The instant the two shadows swiftly intersected, a crisp metallic impact sounded.

Before the audience could see clearly what had happened, Wei Wufu and the Base Variant Creature had already passed by each other and dashed forward, only stopping seven or eight meters later, back to back.

Wei Wufu now had an Alloy Blade in his hand, pointing towards the sky, without even turning back, the blade slowly lowered, letting the Base Mutation Fluid drip to the ground.

The Base Variant Creature behind him suddenly fell to the ground, and during the fall, its head parted from its body.

“Holy smokes, that was powerful. Who is this guy?”

“With such strength, why hide? Go kill those Base Variant Creatures.”

“That blade, so fast.”

People were amazed by Wei Wufu’s swift blade, but soon someone screamed, as from within the waves, one after another, golden-hued Base Variant Creatures resembling Golden Deities emerged from the sea.

One… two… three… seven… ten… thirteen…

In just a moment, more than a dozen Golden Deity-like Base Variant Creatures were walking upon the beach from the sea, with more appearing behind them from the waves.

“Shen, should we flee or fight?” Xu Tiange looked to Lin Shen for his opinion.

“Retreat,” Lin Shen answered without hesitation, planning to call Wei Wufu to retreat together.

However, he looked to another side of the grove and saw several golden-hued Base Variant Creatures resembling Golden Deities encircling from that direction as well.

Looking in other directions, the same Base Variant Creatures surrounded them; unbeknownst to them, these creatures had already besieged the grove.

“Repair the bridge in daylight, cross the river under cover of night; the previous Base Variant Creature was just a distraction, those creatures are actually utilizing military tactics!”

“So many Alloy Creatures, can they really make it out alive?”

“I doubt it, unless the other three are as strong as the guy with the blade.”

Seeing they were surrounded, Lin Shen said to Xu Tiange and Lu Qing, “Try to use pets in combat as much as possible, don’t get involved personally unless absolutely necessary, conserve your strength.”

Having said that, he himself completed his Base Mutation, his entire body enveloped by a mirror-like Steel Carapace.

Xu Tiange and Lu Qing answered, they too completed their Base Mutations, and Alloy Carapaces appeared on their bodies.

“Damn, out of those four young people, there are actually three Alloys; what the hell were they hiding from before?”

“Wait a minute, why do I feel like those three Alloy Mutators are all listening to the Steel Mutator?”

“Must be some big family’s young master, right? Those three Alloy Mutators are his bodyguards?”

“These big family kids really know how to live it up: a Steel with three Alloy bodyguards, and there’s even a female bodyguard among them, pretty chic.”

“With so many Alloy Creatures, can the three Alloys protect him?”
