I Return From Hell

Chapter 133: Chapter 126: Foreign Invasion

BANG.

The sound of a gunshot rang out.

The bullet sped into the water.

GLUG GLUG GLUG.

Bubbles continuously rose to the surface, and then... there was no more movement.

”It’s not dead!”

Little Nannan’s brow furrowed. Her reaction had been quick, and she had aimed for the head, but she had still failed to kill the monster in the water. ’Such speed! Could it be another Red-eyed Mutant Beast?’

Instantly, her body tensed, her mind completely focused.

’Why are there so many Red-eyed Mutant Beasts here?’

The Red-eyed Mutant Beast in the water put her, Little Ai, the baby boy, and the Snake Man—whose survival was uncertain—in an extremely perilous situation.

Because they had nowhere to run!

They could only wait here to die!

Or kill it first!

”Help me.”

The Snake Man paddled for his life, but he was still some distance from the central island. There was no way he could reach it in time.

At this moment, he deeply regretted getting into the water!

’If I had known, I would have just stayed on the shore.’

Little Nannan gripped her long rifle, the muzzle aimed in the Snake Man’s direction, ready to pull the trigger again at a moment’s notice. ’The monster’s next target will definitely be him again. I have to use this chance to kill it.’

’Otherwise, not only will I be unable to help Big Sister, I’ll be in mortal danger myself!’

It had to be said, she remained remarkably rational in a crisis.

She wasn’t panicking at all.

”Faster! Faster!”

The Snake Man’s face was etched with desperation.

He was panicking inside.

Because he felt a profound helplessness, a sense of being a fish in a barrel.

In a situation like this, being too weak meant death. It gave him no chance to maneuver or weaken his opponent. In other words, he couldn’t leverage any of his strengths!

’If I really die here...’

”It would be such a pathetic way to go!”

The boat’s speed increased, yet the Snake Man didn’t even have time to look back and see if the underwater monster was chasing him. He was completely focused on paddling, but he still felt it was too slow.

’This speed isn’t enough to outrun the Grim Reaper!’

BANG.

Another gunshot.

The Snake Man shuddered. He knew the underwater monster had caught up. Just when he thought he had reached his limit, he somehow unleashed an even greater potential, far surpassing his previous self!

Otherwise...

Why would the boat’s speed suddenly surge?

It was nearly twice as fast as before!

’Am I a kayaking genius? At this speed, I could probably win a medal at the Olympics, right?’

The thought flashed through his mind.

A foul stench wafted over from behind.

Immediately after,

Came the loud, jarring, and terrifying sound of teeth snapping together.

The Snake Man instinctively glanced back and was scared out of his wits!

What kind of monster was this?

It was over three feet long, with a triangular head, a beak like a hawk’s, and razor-sharp, hooked upper and lower jaws. Its body was withered and shriveled, and its eyes were completely red, even faintly glowing with a red light!

Its carapace was like a range of rolling mountains, black as ink and seemingly indestructible, with spikes protruding from the shell.

Who wouldn’t be afraid after seeing a monster like this?

”A little alligator?”

”No!”

”This... This is a Big Crocodile Turtle!”

”What is a Big Crocodile Turtle doing here?!”

The Snake Man had seen on the news before that some people had released Big Crocodile Turtles, an invasive species, into the wild. Such actions were infuriating.

He believed that the people who released them, whether intentionally or not, should be severely punished!

BANG.

Another shot rang out.

The Big Crocodile Turtle was in mid-air, unable to dodge. It was a moving target!

As long as the shot was accurate, it was a guaranteed hit.

That was why Little Nannan had pulled the trigger.

However, the Big Crocodile Turtle’s perception of danger was extremely keen. Before Little Nannan even pulled the trigger, it had already shifted its head to the left, avoiding its eyes and other vital spots.

Unfortunately...

...it was quite unlucky.

Little Nannan had predicted its prediction, and her prediction was quite accurate.

PFFT.

The bullet grazed the Big Crocodile Turtle’s eyeball and hit its carapace.

As a result, the carapace was fine.

The bullet ricocheted off!

ROAR.

The Big Crocodile Turtle let out a strange, agonized cry. A small amount of blood flowed from its ruptured eyeball as it crashed heavily back into the water and quickly disappeared from sight.

Little Nannan had lost her chance to fire again.

”Still not dead.”

”Red-eyed Mutant Beasts are too hard to kill.”

She had clearly succeeded, yet she still hadn’t managed to kill it. This made her feel rather helpless. ’I hope that after taking such a heavy blow, its combat power is greatly reduced. Otherwise... we’re all going to die here!’

With this thought, her attention shifted to the boat, which was now moving at an incredible speed.

’Is the Snake Man really that good at rowing?’

WHOOSH.

CRASH.

Soon, the boat shot onto the land in the center of the pond without slowing down at all. The Snake Man was thrown to the ground, grimacing in pain, but he didn’t dare cry out. He immediately scrambled to his feet and grabbed a nearby rock.

He was on guard, scanning his surroundings.

The pond returned to calm once more.

But everyone knew this was just the calm before the storm.

Several minutes passed.

The situation on the shore grew more desperate, especially the battle involving Little Flower and Xie Shaokun, which had become extremely dangerous. Both of their clothes were severely torn, and their bodies were covered in numerous wounds.

”This can’t go on.”

Seeing this, Little Nannan grew anxious.

But there was no way she could go help, because she didn’t know when the Big Crocodile Turtle would leap out of the water to attack!

Who would dare underestimate the ambush ability of a Red-eyed Mutant Beast?

On the shore.

Xia Yu had already dealt with nearly ten Mutated Beasts. She had severely wounded the three Red-eyed Mutant Beasts: a male peacock, a large female monkey, and a wild boar. In return, she had only been rammed by the boar, breaking a few ribs, which was not a major injury.

She had been keeping an eye on Xie Shaokun and Little Flower’s battle, but she wasn’t concerned.

Little Flower was a Resentful Corpse.

She would be fine even if her body were pierced through.

Why would she be afraid of getting injured?

As for Xie Shaokun, with his enhanced superpower, he wouldn’t be in any real trouble for a while.

It was Little Nannan’s situation that was the real problem!

”There’s a Red-eyed Mutant Beast in the pond too?”

Xia Yu noticed the Big Crocodile Turtle that had appeared in the pond, her brow tightening. ’Little Nannan is in extreme danger. I have to end this quickly and go help her.’

’Trading injuries for injuries!’

Making a swift decision, she allowed the wild boar to ram into her arms, using the force to propel herself backward.

She shot toward the large female monkey that was preparing a sneak attack from behind her.

A mid-air spin!

Blood Butterflies danced!

At the same time, her other hand reached for her waist, grabbed a grenade, and tossed it behind her.

During the ”International Hotel Incident,” she had nearly been killed by a Resentful Corpse precisely because she lacked a weapon of mass destruction like a grenade. If she’d had one then, she wouldn’t have needed to investigate the case piece by piece to disperse the Resentful Corpse’s resentment.

She could have just blown it to smithereens!

Even without a specific weakness, a Resentful Corpse would still die!

So this time, Xia Yu had specifically instructed Xie Shaokun to request convenient and powerful weapons of mass destruction, like grenades, from the authorities.

Soon.

BOOM.

The sound of an explosion erupted.

ROAR.

The wild boar let out a blood-curdling shriek.

Its body was covered in extensive blast wounds and embedded with numerous pieces of shrapnel. But it wasn’t the most miserable one. The most miserable one was... the male peacock!

Feathers drifted randomly through the air.

Its small head had been unluckily pierced by a piece of shrapnel.

It died on the spot.

As for the large female monkey, its head was impaled, and its corpse was riddled with several pieces of shrapnel.

And behind it stood the unharmed Xia Yu!

WHOOSH.

Xia Yu tossed the large female monkey’s corpse to the ground. Ignoring the other Mutated Beasts, she charged toward the pond.

Unfortunately.

She was a step too late!

A black shadow shot out of the water.

BANG!

Little Nannan pulled the trigger instinctively.

But in the next moment, her expression changed drastically, because the black shadow wasn’t the Big Crocodile Turtle, but...

...Chen Hang, who had turned into a Mutant!

THUD.

Watching Chen Hang fall to the ground dead, a bullet hole in his forehead, Little Nannan had an ominous feeling.

SPLASH.

A strange sound came from behind her...
