In Chris's mental perception, the Mutant before him was filled with emotions like fear, terror, and avoidance.
However, there was none of the usual irritability, chaos, or malicious intent to kill on sight that other Mutants displayed.
Therefore, after snatching the infant, Chris had the idea of communicating with her.
Besides wanting to find the infant's parents, he also wanted to understand this Mutant tribe.
He wanted to confirm who exactly had taken his Life Origin.
Currently, Chris's primary suspect was the leader of this Mutant tribe, but given the leader's current inaction, the possibility of it being him was very low.
After all, the effect of the Life Origin was immediate; once absorbed, it could be sensed instantly.
So, having finally found a Mutant he could communicate with, Chris did not kill her immediately.
Even to ensure the infant's safety, Chris only tore off her arm, not her head.
Ruby, who had been flung against the mine tunnel wall and fallen, looked at Chris in terror. Only when she realized he was just an ordinary human did the fear in her eyes lessen considerably.
Then, upon hearing Chris's question, she tremblingly said, "Our tribal leader led a hunting party. This infant was stolen, and the leader wants to raise her to be the tribe's matriarch."
Chris peeled open the diaper and saw that it was indeed a little girl.
"Your tribal leader is truly a beast!"
After exclaiming, Chris looked at the Mutant before him with surprise.
Because he sensed a thought of agreement from her; clearly, she felt the same way.
Chris said in surprise, "Heh, I didn't expect you to be more humane than Peter. I really was judging a book by its cover."
Ruby did not speak in response; she didn't even know what he was talking about.
However, she had calmed down now. This human before her was clearly not a warrior from other Cannibal Tribes, otherwise, she would already be dead.
Noticing that the Mutant's emotions had stabilized, Chris immediately became curious, "Why aren't you scared anymore? Is it because I'm too handsome, and you're lust-struck?"
Ruby had been intently watching Chris, observing his every move, but only after hearing Chris tease her did she notice how heroic and handsome this boy before her was, exuding a special charm.
For a moment, this female Mutant was completely stunned. Then, a cry from the infant in Chris's arms startled Ruby, making her lower her head in embarrassment.
Then she explained in a low voice, "No, I think you're a good person and won't be as brutal as other Cannibal Tribes."
"Hmph, no matter how much you flatter me, I won't let you go!" Chris said stubbornly, then turned his attention to the information about the Cannibal Tribe.
"Tell me specifically what the Cannibal Tribe is. If you can satisfy my curiosity, I might even leave you a complete corpse!"
Hearing Chris's words, Ruby looked at her broken arm. Chris also realized his words were a bit inaccurate and immediately wanted to rephrase.
But Ruby didn't give him a chance and spoke directly, "There isn't just our tribe in this mine tunnel; there are several other Cannibal Tribes. However, their hunting grounds are usually in other areas, and we don't usually interact."
Through emotional perception, Chris could confirm that the Mutant Girl before him was telling the truth.
Moreover, using his Misfortune Radar, he also found dozens of non-human creatures in the mine tunnel.
However, they were also quite different from these Mutant/Deformed Persons; besides human attributes, they had another special attribute, making them somewhat purer than these Mutants.
But Chris was not in the mood to deal with those Offal right now. He needed to find the leader of this Mutant tribe first, and then see if his missing Origin had anything to do with him.
"Given how honest you are, I'll spare your life for now. After I've dealt with what's bothering me, I'll decide what to do with you."
Chris, holding the infant, followed the path the Mutant Girl had taken into the mine tunnel. Soon, he exited the tunnel and arrived in a canyon.
As for the Mutant Girl with the broken arm, Chris ignored her.
In his perception, this Mutant Girl was a good person, and in the movie, her death to save this infant had left a deep impression on Chris.
So Chris was only harsh with his words, but in his heart, he had already decided to spare the Mutant Girl's life.
However, she clearly didn't think so. Not long after Chris carried the infant out of the mine, and just as he was determining the Mutant leader's location, he saw the Mutant Girl follow him out, carrying her severed arm.
Seeing Chris's curious gaze, and before he could even ask, Ruby proactively said, "You defeated me, so I am your slave, and a slave cannot leave her master."
Listening to the Mutant Girl's shocking statement, Chris merely pursed his lips and said nothing, implicitly assenting to her intention to follow him.
Seeing that Chris didn't object and was looking around, the girl immediately raised her hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Jupiter is in that direction. He still wants to hunt down the remaining humans."
Chris had already confirmed the direction using his Misfortune Radar, but he also noticed a lone human in another direction, whom he suspected might be the infant's father.
That's why he hadn't immediately decided which way to go.
However, now that this Mutant Girl was even betraying her own kind, Chris no longer hesitated and directly headed in the direction she indicated.
Anyway, killing this Mutant leader wouldn't take much time, and it wouldn't be too late to find the infant's father afterward.
Having made up his mind, Chris quickened his pace, sprinting under the moonlight.
Due to his concern for the infant in his arms, he only ran at the speed of a top human athlete.
But even at this speed, Chris noticed that the Mutant Girl behind him wasn't falling behind. It seemed these Mutants had indeed been touched by some special power.
However, now that this girl had been subdued by him, there was no rush to investigate these minor matters. For now, it was better to kill that leader first and see if the missing Origin had anything to do with him.
After a few minutes of frantic running, Chris saw several Mutants lying on a hillside. Looking at their vantage point, it was a camper van.
And these Mutants, hearing the commotion behind them, also turned their heads curiously.
"It's Ruby, why did she come back?"
"And another guy, he doesn't look like he's from our tribe!"
Listening to the two children's uncertain words, Jupiter stood up with a solemn expression.
But before he could make any move, Chris handed the infant in his arms to Ruby, and his figure instantly blurred into an afterimage.
In an instant, Chris arrived before the three Mutants. Then, his battle saber flashed out from his interdimensional space, and Chris swung it with a fluid motion.
Ruby only saw a flash of light, and then her two older brothers and father were decapitated.
It wasn't until Chris struck again, chopping the three Mutants into minced meat, that a thunderous crackling sound emerged. That was the sonic boom caused by Chris splitting the three Mutants.
"Something's not right!"
