Chapter 371: Mutant Desert Beetle King



After a moment of silence, Wu Yehao said, "Eldest Young Miss, please come with us. If the signal has been given, it means the base's senior officers are prepared to abandon the base and accept the consequences."

At his words, the ability users and soldiers looked at each other before they turned to Yao Ran and Long Yu expectantly.

Under their hopeful gazes, Yao Ran clenched her fists, her thoughts racing as she thought, 'It's not my responsibility to save them, but I can't let everyone die.'

She looked at the others, then at Long Yu, gritting her teeth.

'If the number of survivors continues to decrease and the mutants become stronger and stronger, then humanity will really be wiped out in a few years. I can't let this happen. I can't let A Yu and my friends die.'

After making her decision, Yao Ran looked at Wu Yehao and said, "I'm not leaving."

"Then are you retreating to the underground shelter?" Wu Yehao asked calmly.

She met his gaze and replied, "No. I'm staying to defend the wall."

Wu Yehao's eyes darkened at her words. He frowned and asked, "You don't plan to defend the wall alone, do you? These people are just strangers, and you have no responsibility for their safety. Is it worth sacrificing yourself for them?"

Yao Ran smiled faintly and shook her head. "I need them to survive-not for me, but for the future."

Hearing this, Long Yu reached for her hand and smiled. "If that is your decision, then I will stay with you."

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yehao said, "My mission is to keep you safe and bring you back. Since you want to stay, then we will stay with you."

When the fire element ability users and other soldiers heard this, they nodded in agreement.

The female fire element ability user stepped forward and said, "I will stay and defend the wall. If I retreat, my family will die."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Standing a few meters from it, Shi Xuan gave the mutant desert beetle king no chance to retaliate. With a final strike of his space blade skill, he severed its head.

Thud!

With its head detached from its massive body, the mutant desert beetle king breathed its last. Looking at the mutant desert beetle king's severed body parts, Shi Xuan sighed and muttered, "What a waste to leave them here, but I can't bring it all back."

After pondering for a moment, Shi Xuan decided to bring back the beetle king's legs and shells. Using the shells as a makeshift sleigh, he placed the long, sharp legs on top and

dragged them back to the base.

While Shi Xuan was on his way back, an unusual event occurred. After the mutant desert beetle

king died, the other mutant desert beetles suddenly stopped moving.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Yao Ran asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Long Yu and the others exchanged confused glances, unable to answer.

A few moments later, the mutant desert beetles let out high-pitched noises before retreating like a black tide.

"They are retreating!" one of the soldiers shouted excitedly, pointing at the mutant desert beetles disappearing into the distance.

Still puzzled, Yao Ran and Long Yu exchanged glances. Although they didn't understand why the mutant desert beetles had retreated, it was undoubtedly a good turn of events for them.

With the mutant giant bird eliminated and the mutant desert beetles retreating, everyone finally had time to rest. Some soldiers and ability users were so exhausted they collapsed where they stood. A few who had overexerted their abilities even fainted.

While the others rested and cared for the injured, Yao Ran noticed Li Zhen nearby.

She approached him and asked, "Captain Li, can you contact the soldiers at the other walls to see if the mutant desert beetles retreated there as well?"
