Chapter 188: Belcher and Anaconda
"Let's take care of these anomalies."
Medusa seemed to have sensed that Nie Yiyi wasn't very fond of her, and she didn't waste any more time with words as she re-entered the fray.
The enhanced artificial anomalies were truly fearsome. Out of the duo of anomalies that they were facing, one could fly, while the other was extremely fast, and both of them were extremely difficult to deal with.
Thankfully, they had a significant numbers advantage, and with her wind manipulation abilities, Nie Yiyi was able to significantly hamper the bat anomaly's effectiveness in battle.
Furthermore, aside from the spearhead of the group in the form of Medusa, her other teammates were also quite useful.
Rattlesnake's combat prowess was quite mediocre, and she served a role similar to the one performed by Hook on Adam's team.
However, the other two members of Medusa's team were very formidable in their own right.
The Belcher's sea snake was said to be one of the most venomous snakes in the world, and one of the members of Medusa's team derived her name from that very same animal, so it was clear what the nature of her abilities was.
While protecting Rattlesnake, Belcher was constantly releasing a type of strange mist out of her mouth into the air. Initially, no one felt anything, but after a while, Nie Yiyi could feel all of the muscles in her entire body becoming extremely hard and rigid. All of the vitality and suppleness seemed to have been sapped out of her muscles, leaving them as stiff and lifeless as dead wood.
Not only that, but her joints were also locking up like rusty metal parts, and those symptoms were only alleviated after Belcher released a cloud of yellow mist that she inhaled into her body.
However, the anomalies that they were facing weren't so lucky. As the battle wore on, the two anomalies inhaled far too much venomous mist. Furthermore, neither of them were defense-type anomalies, and both of them relied heavily on their mobility in battle, so this type of paralyzing neurotoxin was extremely effective against them.
Throughout the battle, the speed-type anomaly was becoming slower and slower. In the beginning, Medusa and the others were only able to see the trails of afterimages that it left behind, but at this point, they were already able to track its movement with their eyes.
"Belcher, release your large-scale venom cloud."
"Yes, Mistress," Belcher replied before immediately flying up into the air, then released a ball of translucent green liquid out of her mouth.
The ball of liquid was enveloped within a layer of green energy, and it circled around in the air before exploding, sending venomous mist spreading through the surrounding area in a radius of two to three kilometers.
If their opponents had been adapters, then they would've definitely immediately fled far away upon witnessing the spreading cloud of green mist.
However, the artificial anomalies were far too foolish, and they only knew to avoid an attack after they had already fallen prey to it once. They hadn't been afflicted by this green mist before, so they were still fighting on as if nothing had happened.
The first of the two anomalies to come into contact with the venomous mist was the bat anomaly. As soon as the mist descended upon it, all of the nerves in its entire body instantly turned bright red, making it look as if there were red worms squirming all over its skin. Shortly thereafter, its blood vessels also began to pop one after another, presenting an extremely gruesome and horrific sight to behold.
Even though these artificial adapters had already endured unimaginable pain, it seemed that this venomous mist was beyond their tolerance threshold. The bat anomaly screeched in agony as blood gushed out of its entire body, and its blood seemed to be boiling, evaporating as soon as it erupted into the air.
Meanwhile, the terrestrial anomaly down below was in an even worse condition. It had absorbed too much of the neurotoxin, and as a result, it had slowed down to a snail's pace compared with its former speed. All of its blood vessels and nerves seemed to have been set alight, and it had become completely rooted to the spot.
"It's your turn, Anaconda."
Medusa knew that given how fearsome these artificial anomalies were, even Belcher's venom would only be able to debilitate them for a short time. Hence, after issuing that instruction, she immediately slithered toward the speed-type anomaly, while Nie Yiyi and Anaconda rose up to meet the bat anomaly, which was flapping around in a wobbly manner as if it were severely inebriated.
Anaconda had been protecting Rattlesnake this entire time, but now that she was also entering the fray, she immediately put on a formidable display of her own.
As she rose up into the air, her body swelled up like a balloon, and she transformed into an enormous anaconda that was over 30 meters in length. In its enlarged form, Anaconda's scales had become thicker and heavier, and rows of sharp crocodile-like teeth had appeared in its mouth. Upon completing its transformation, it opened its cavernous mouth before sinking its teeth into the bat anomaly in the sky.
Nie Yiyi arrived immediately thereafter with her blades, rushing up the giant anaconda's body before plunging her weapons viciously into the bat anomaly's neck, inflicting a grievous wound onto the already struggling anomaly.
......
Meanwhile, a woman in green was fleeing away from the supply point that Adam and the others were in. She had been invited to participate in the battle royale by a friend, and prior to signing up, she had learned about just how brutal the competition was through watching footage of the past editions.
However, only after actually experiencing the game for herself did she come to realize that being in the thick of the action was completely different from seeing it on television.
Her entire team had been eradicated, and she was the only one left.
For her, this battle royale had been one massive nightmare thus far.
There were anomalies, serpents, mechas, dragons...
The only thing that was missing in this godforsaken place was a safe haven for her. Hence, she was fleeing as quickly as she could, hoping that she would be lucky enough to find an exit card somewhere that would allow her to get out of this nightmare.
As a safety precaution, she chose to flee toward relatively barren areas rather in order to avoid other participants as much as possible. However, as the zone continued to shrink, the participants were becoming more and more concentrated, and she was quickly discovered.
"There's someone over there, Mistress."
The person who had spotted her was a man wearing a technomancer hat, with his hands cupped over his eyes to feign a pair of binoculars.
It was a rather comical sight to behold, but his fake binoculars really did allow him to see further into the distance.
"Who is it?"
"It's a woman. She appears to be injured, so if I'm not mistaken, her teammates have most likely already been killed, or she must've gotten separated from them somehow. It looks like she just came out of a battle."
"Which direction is she coming from?"
"The same direction that the dove flew to"
"Capture her for interrogation."
"Yes, Mistress."
The technomancer pulled out a piece of nylon cloth as he spoke, and after making some preparations, he jumped into the cloth, instantly vanishing on the spot.
By the time he reappeared, he had already arrived directly in front of the woman.
"Who are you?"
The woman had only just fled out of the supply point, so she was wary of everything, particularly this unfamiliar man, who had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
"Who do you think I am? I'm a participant of the battle royale, of course."
"Are you here to kill me?"
"No no no, I just want to take you back with me for some questions."
"What if I refuse?" n0velUSB.C0M
"What right do you have to refuse? You're nothing more than a wandering stray dog!"
The technomancer pulled out three poker cards as he spoke, then hurled them directly at the woman.
The poker cards were traveling extremely quickly, and the woman hurriedly used her blade to defend herself.
However, her weapon had only just come into contact with the poker cards when she felt a sharp pain in her back. The cards had clearly been right in front of her just a moment ago, yet all of a sudden, they had appeared behind her.
After piercing into her body, the three poker cards released a taser-like electric current that instantly knocked her to the ground.
She could only look on helplessly as the technomancer pulled out a nylon cloth as he sighed to himself, "I heard that there are a bunch of fools coming to participate in the battle royale every year to try and earn some quick cash, but money isn't that easy to earn. I hope you're not one of those fools."
After that, he picked up the woman before jumping into the cloth.
