Chapter 222 The Mutant Boy on the Surface?

Holy crap!

Jeff was startled by the sudden noise and jumped to the side, instinctively raising his gun and aiming it at the source of the sound.

"child?"

When he realized that the boy he was aiming at was a complete stranger, he was clearly stunned.

"I don't recall bringing any of the dust-people's children with me on this mission!"

When their hunter squads come down to collect supplies, they bring some Dust People laborers with them to help carry the supplies.

Because the job involves moving and transporting, most of the workers selected are strong and healthy young adults; they don't pick and choose children.

Upon hearing Jeff's scream, the other lie hunters on guard thought Jeff was in danger and immediately came over with guns to provide support.

They were all stunned when they saw the boy standing opposite Jeff.

"Jeff, where did this child come from?"

A girl with short red hair jumped onto the roof of the armored vehicle, sizing up the seemingly harmless boy standing there, and suddenly...

Qi said, "Look, doesn't he have a tail growing out of his butt?"

"Hello, my name is Sun Wukong."

Little Wukong raised his hand and politely greeted the girl and the middle-aged man.

"I don't know where it came from, but it really does have a tail. Could it have mutated while living on the ground?"

Jeff then noticed the tail swaying behind Goku.

"The lighthouse has not found any survivors for twenty years, and now the survival rate of humans on the other side is almost zero."

He's still a child. Even if he mutated, he wouldn't survive.

The short-haired girl, with a gun tucked behind her back and hands on her hips, looked at Little Goku: "Hello, you're called Sun Wukong, right? My name is Erica. Have you always lived on the surface of the earth?"

"More or less."

Little Wukong thought for a moment and replied.

Except for the month he spent in the Temple of the Gods, he did indeed live on the surface of the earth.

It's just not the surface of this world.

"Besides you, are there other people living on the ground?"

Jeff's expression immediately turned serious.

More than fifty years ago, the Earth Vines plague continued to erupt, leading to mass extinctions of humanity and cities being reduced to ruins.

Later, the enormous lighthouse structure floating in the air began to house the remaining humans.

The hunters, on the other hand, are a unit within the lighthouse specifically responsible for collecting supplies from the ground.

In the past, whenever the hunters came down to search for supplies, they would occasionally find some humans who had miraculously survived.

However, starting twenty years ago, the Hunters had not found any humans again.

Therefore, the leaders of the Lighthouse generally believe that the humans on the surface had long been wiped out by the attacks of those countless Devouring Beasts.

If there are indeed still many humans alive, that would be very valuable news for the lighthouse.

"And... I don't know either, I just arrived here myself."

Little Goku wanted to say that there are still many people living on the ground, but he quickly realized that the other person was asking whether there are still humans on the ground in this world.

Little did he know, he had only been here for a few minutes and only discovered the presence of humans by sensing the qi.

"What do you mean by 'just arrived here'?"

Neither Jeff nor Erica understood what Goku meant.

However, just as they were about to pull Little Wukong aside to ask him more questions, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the entrance in front of Area B.

"Run, everyone! It's a Devouring Beast!"

"Devouring Beast!"

Jeff and Erica's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. They didn't even bother to ask Goku and hurriedly looked towards the entrance of Area B.

Over there, the dust people who were carrying supplies were frantically running towards the transport trucks, their last supplies hauled away in terror.

Meanwhile, the hunters on guard nearby raised their guns and fired wildly toward the entrance.

"Quickly, everyone take the supplies and evacuate immediately!"

A burly man with a crew cut rushed out of the entrance with a white-haired woman and quickly gave orders to the guarding hunters: "Erica, Jeff, quickly activate the Re-Solid System."

Following closely behind the two was a gigantic monster, seven or eight meters tall, its gaping maw seemingly about to devour them.

Swallow.

However, the two cooperated well and constantly dodged and weaved, always managing to narrowly avoid attacks.

Behind that enormous monster, dozens of similar monsters swarmed out of the entrance, rushing towards all the hunters and dust people nearby.

"Yes, Captain Mark!"

Erica and Jeff immediately replied loudly, then turned and rushed toward their respective gravity-body mechs.

Before leaving, they pointed to the transport truck carrying the evacuees and shouted something to Little Goku.

"Child, quickly hide in that car!"

The Devouring Beasts that rushed out of the abandoned spaceship, some as big as buffaloes, could be killed with ordinary firearms.

As for those giant Devouring Beasts that are seven or eight meters tall, ordinary gunshots are like tickling them; they can't cause any damage at all.

The only weapons capable of harming those Devouring Beasts, besides the powerful electromagnetic guns, are the gravity-body mechs piloted by these elite hunters.

However, it's certainly not impossible to defeat so many Devouring Beasts using a gravity-body mech.

Their task was to intercept the Devouring Beasts' attack on the supply trucks and cover the retreat of the rest of the squad and the supplies they were searching for.

"Ah, help!"

The gravity-body mech takes time to activate, and before it is fully activated, the firepower of ordinary hunters is simply insufficient to stop the giant Devouring Beast.

Soon, apart from the one lured away by Captain Mark, another giant Devouring Beast broke through the fire net and rushed towards a Dustman who was carrying a supply box and had not yet had time to evacuate.

The mortal, staring at the gaping maw that was so close it could swallow his entire body, let out a desperate cry.

Erica and Jeff, the elite hunters who had already entered the gravity body mechs, were anxious but helpless at the sight.

The gravity system hasn't been activated yet, so they can't provide support at all.


Every search for supplies involves some degree of danger.

Not to mention those lowly commoners, even among the upper class of these hunter squads, there are always dozens of casualties each time.

In other words, Captain Mark is a good person and always tries his best to protect the Dust People.

No one else cares about the lives or deaths of those commoners.

"boom!"

However, just when everyone thought the Dustman was beyond saving, a figure suddenly appeared next to the giant Devouring Beast.

He punched the Devouring Beast, which was sent flying like a cannonball as if it had been hit by a train.

During its flight, it crashed into several giant Devouring Beasts that were pouncing on it, and all of them landed without a sound.

This startled the Devouring Beasts, who were about to swarm forward, causing them to stop in their tracks.

"What?!"

Similarly, there were ordinary hunters firing their guns, elite hunters who had just entered the gravity-body mechs, and the dust people who were already fleeing for their lives.

They were all dumbfounded.
