Just as the test results were about to appear, the underside of the vehicle was suddenly hit. Everyone was startled; at this moment, no one cared about the impending test results anymore because it was obvious that the vehicle was under attack!
Someone shouted "Mutant Beast," and then everyone grabbed their weapons, ready to fight at any moment. As for the portable test device, someone casually tossed it aside. Yiyi didn't care about the device because the vehicle was violently hit again, lifting the wheels off the ground, flipping the car completely over!
In an instant, Yiyi felt the world spin, her stomach turning as if she was about to vomit! The only consolation was that she was sitting in a seat for pregnant women, which automatically deployed a protective shield upon impact. Because her limbs were secured, she avoided being thrown out and injured.
However, they were clearly facing a Mutant Beast, and if she remained trapped like this, wouldn't she just be waiting to die? She looked at the others; with the vehicle overturned and the underside facing upward, the guards on the car, despite being Superpower Users, were caught off guard by the sudden change, some rolling out of their seats. Some even got scratched, looking quite miserable.
At a glance, the one in the best condition was Yiyi herself. But she wasn't willing to just sit and wait for death! Suppressing the acid reflux in her stomach, Yiyi shouted, "Is there a Mutant Beast outside? Hurry and release me!"
The others originally didn't want to acknowledge her, and even the female guard sitting next to her gave her a glare, sternly warning, "Shut up! Keep talking, and I'll throw you out!"
Yiyi wasn't afraid of her; her situation couldn't be worse. The sudden appearance of the Mutant Beast represented danger, but also a possible opportunity for change. She didn't want to just wait to die, nor did she want to become a breeding machine. Even if it was dangerous, she could only grit her teeth and fight! As long as she's not dead, she will never give up!
So she glared back defiantly and said coldly, "With a Mutant Beast outside, you're keeping me trapped here to kill me?"
Just as she finished speaking, the vehicle was hit again. The violent impact made the car rock back and forth like a Weeble. Because Yiyi was fixed in her seat, she was upside down now, and through the window, she could see what was attacking outside. What she saw made her face turn pale; outside, attacking the vehicle, was a Mutated Worm!
Judging by its size, the Mutated Worm was at least ten meters long and half a meter wide! Its massive mouth and sharp teeth could easily crush and swallow a person. Even though the vehicle had quite good defense capabilities, it couldn't withstand several attacks from the Mutated Worm! Yiyi had learned about the characteristics of many mutated creatures in her biology class at school, so she knew very well the combat capability of the Mutated Worm before her. Unless the 19 guards, including the driver, could kill this Mutated Worm, she certainly had no chance of survival!
However... she's just an ordinary person now, with not as much vitality as these Superpower User guards. If she could get out of this restricted position, maybe she could escape amidst the chaos? After all, with these Superpower User guards around, unless the Mutated Worm were a fool, it wouldn't leave these "delicious dishes" to chase after her, a mere "light snack"!
So she emphasized again, "Let me out, quick!"
The female guard, injured during the collision, looked at Yiyi, who was unharmed, with some dissatisfaction: "What use is it for you to come out now? Can you go out and kill the Mutant Beast? If not, shut up! At least you're protected by the shield inside; out here, who will protect you?"
She did have a point, but they were facing the destructive Mutated Worm! Such a shield was meant for ordinary situations and couldn't withstand a bite from a Mutated Worm! If Yiyi stayed trapped in the shield and the Mutated Worm broke through the vehicle's defenses and got in, it could swallow her whole in one bite! She's not an idiot!
Yiyi argued on logical grounds, "The thing hitting the vehicle outside is an adult Mutated Worm. Its destructive power can't be held back by the vehicle's defenses, let alone this flimsy protective shield! You refusing to let me out is just trying to kill me, isn't it?" Her righteous attitude left the female guard speechless.
The other guards didn't want to deal with Yiyi initially, but since she laid the situation out so clearly, if they didn't release her and something happened, they might be held accountable! Considering this, the faces of the guards turned grim. One of them said, "This is your decision to come out; if something happens, don't say we caused it!" As he spoke, he turned off the protective shield and released Yiyi from the restraints.
Yiyi quickly stretched her limbs, then grabbed the nearby seat to steady herself, confidently stating her demand, "We're facing a Mutated Worm, and battle could happen at any moment. By law, you must give me some weapons!" Her demand was indeed reasonable, as the law did stipulate that during a Mutant Beast attack, everyone should have a weapon. Either to fight or to take their own life, it's better than being bitten to death by a Mutant Beast!
So, despite their dissatisfaction with her, they had to give her an Alloy Dagger. The dagger was sharp, but unfortunately, it was useless against an adult Mutated Worm. An adult Mutated Worm's defense was astonishing; an Alloy Dagger couldn't even pierce its skin. Holding it in hand was only useful for suicide, nothing more! For Yiyi, it was better than nothing.
She knew well that as a "criminal" and an "ordinary person," even though she had learned Basic Martial Skills, her combat abilities couldn't compare to those of the Superpower Users. There's no way they would let her use the expensive Energy Weapons. So after testing the Alloy Dagger's balance, she gripped it tightly and stopped talking.
The hits from outside became more intense, the vehicle even rolling several times, with the body severely deformed, and the high-strength bulletproof glass showing a web of cracks. Everyone knew they couldn't go on like this! They exchanged looks and then the door suddenly opened, and they all rushed out!
Someone said, "A distress signal has been sent; we just need to hold on for a while, and if we're lucky, someone should come to rescue us soon." If unlucky, they would have to find a way to escape on their own. He didn't say this, but everyone understood.
Yiyi also rushed out, but she was not in good shape. She had inhaled too many drugs earlier, making her consciousness foggy and her body slightly weak. In such a condition, the idea of escaping from the hunt of an adult Mutated Worm was nothing short of wishful thinking. But she was determined not to sit and wait for death!
