Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

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."

The male fire element ability user nodded in agreement. "Exactly. If we are going to die anyway, I'd rather take as many of those mutant desert beetles with me as possible."

With renewed determination, everyone was ready to die to protect the base and those behind them.

Long Yu looked at them and said, "Since you have all decided, let's finish off these mutant desert beetles and then deal with the ones inside the base."

"Yes!"

With a surge of fighting spirit, Yao Ran pulled out more C4 bombs while Long Yu and the others continued their relentless attack.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

While the explosion continued to echo in the west outer wall, Shi Xuan was in hot pursuit of the mutant desert beetle king.

Seeing that the mutant desert beetle king was about to burrow into the sand again, Shi Xuan's eyes flickered, and he waved his hand. In the next moment, the mutant desert beetle king suddenly jumped up.

When Shi Xuan saw the mutant desert beetle king easily avoid his space blades, he frowned slightly and thought, 'It seems to be able to sense the changes in the air. I need to change my tactic.'

With that in mind, Shi Xuan stopped using his space blades to slice the mutant desert beetle king's body. Instead, he used his teleportation skills. However, rather than teleporting himself, he targeted the mutant desert beetle king.

Focusing his mind, Shi Xuan tried to control the space around the mutant desert beetle king to teleport only half of its body. However, it was easier said than done.

After several failed attempts, Shi Xuan finally succeeded in teleporting one of the mutant desert beetle king's hind legs. Moments later, the mutant desert beetle king let out a piercing

scream.

With one of its hind legs severed, the mutant desert beetle king's massive body fell heavily to the ground.

Boom!

As its body toppled, the mutant desert beetle king struggled to right itself. Seizing this opportunity, Shi Xuan quickly used his space blades to sever all of its limbs.

His space skills were invisible, and it didn't make any sounds. By the time the mutant desert beetle king realized what was happening, only its body and head remained intact.

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?"
