Somewhere deep in the wetlands.

Lex lay on the grass, holding a grass stem in his mouth, looking at the blue sky, motionless.

The breeze blew gently and the grass blades rustled.

Lex seems to enjoy the scorching sunlight, even though the rays are strong enough to burn the skin of ordinary people in a short time.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

Lex frowned slightly.

The visitor did not appear, but the voice was still close to his ears.

"Lex, not only Chen Xin is here, but also that woman!"

Anya?

Lex was stunned for a moment.

Hasn't Anya returned to the United States?

Intelligence showed that she had been detained by the United States. How could she return to Chen Xin so quickly?

"That hateful woman actually burned my body with fire!"

The person who spoke seemed a little angry.

Lex smiled.

This guy named Gross was very boastful when he first came here. He even said that he could take care of Chen Xin alone, and there was no need to mobilize troops like this.

Now, I have just come into contact with it and I have suffered such a big loss. I really deserve it!

Lex thought this, but couldn't say it.

"That woman's name is Anya. Her powers are somewhat similar to those of Balrog. She can restrain your abilities, so you should be careful."

Gross snorted and complained in a low voice, as if to say that he would show that woman a little better next time.

Lex sneered inwardly.

Although this Gross is a useful guy, he is by no means a likeable person.

Even if you die in the end, it won't be a big deal.

"With the addition of Anya, our plan may have to be adjusted."

Another voice came.

I don’t know how many people are hidden in this thicket of weeds.

"Is this necessary? Just kill them together!" The voice was very young, with a sharp voice unique to young people.

"Don't rush."

Lex interrupted them.

He knew that if he didn't speak, these people wouldn't be able to say a word and they would start to quarrel.

Because the sanctioners are all guys with bad tempers and advocating violence.

After Lex spoke, no one spoke anymore among the people hiding in the weeds.

Lex is the youngest sanctioner who has reached the eighth level. He has outstanding strength and a promising future. Even those in the team who are also at the eighth level are quite afraid of him and will not easily challenge the authority of his leader.

Lex had rolled over and sat up.

Although he is not huge in size, for some reason, he gives people the feeling of being as majestic and thick as a mountain.

"The old men have made it clear not to touch Anya for the time being, so our target is still Chen Xin. As for Anya, we can lure her away if we can. If she really gets in the way, I don't mind killing her too, as long as

Just hide it from those confused old men."

There were voices of approval in the grass, and a few gentle chuckles.

"Our strength is enough this time, even Anya is by Chen Xin's side!" Lex said firmly, "However, I don't want us to suffer any more losses."

He paused and continued: "Let those NMCs go and cause them some trouble first. When the time is right, we will take action."

After saying that, he lay back down again.

If you look carefully, you can see that he is not really lying on the "ground".

Instead, lie on the tips of those tender grasses!

It was as if his body was nothing but aerogel like solidified smoke.

The people around dispersed.

Lex snorted slightly.

"Chen Xin, I'm waiting for you here."

He spoke very calmly and indifferently.

But behind that, there is deep resentment.

…

"There are masters of the mitochondrial clan here. This is of course a trap."

Anya looked at the "weeds" that had been completely burned to ashes and only the roots were left, and said with certainty.

The best way to deal with such an enemy is to retreat directly, organize your forces, and then reappear with a crushing attitude.

Finally, say one or two sarcastic words in a victor's tone, which will make the enemy angry enough to vomit blood.

Of course Chen Xin understands, but now he has no choice but to move forward and fight his way out.

Fortunately, Anya is always by his side.

The two of them walked lightly and quickly, very cautiously.

Along the way, we still encountered many ambushes.

Most of them are mitochondrial mutants transformed from NMC. They are driven by bloodthirsty desires and launch attacks desperately. They are then easily defeated by Chen Xin and Anya, and finally disappear sadly deep into the swamp.

The sky gradually darkened, and the temperature finally dropped a few degrees.

Chen Xin and Anya came to a shallow beach.

Maybe it was a body of water not long ago, but now, only a tidal flat with sparse grass remains.

The beach was full of people.

All are NMC.

Their clothes were in tatters, and their expressions were haggard but somewhat ferocious and twisted.

Each one of them was holding an assault rifle, as if they were waiting for something.

Chen Xin left the grass and walked to them.

"Are you the Xia man named Chen?"

A young man with dark skin showed off his rifle back and forth and said to Chen Xin contemptuously.

"Where are my friends?"

"Oh, you mean those soldiers?" The young man's tone was frivolous, causing the people around him to burst into laughter.

"Who knows? Maybe he's dead."

Chen Xin's face darkened.

The surrounding air suddenly became heavy, as if it had solidified in an instant.

The intense heat that had not completely dissipated suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Enough!"

With a cough, an old man pushed the young man aside.

Looking at him, all the NMCs showed some respect.

Chen Xin noticed that the old man was just an ordinary human being, neither a mitochondrial race nor an NMC.

"My name is Tyrone Ebuehi. If you can find me here, you must already know my name."

Chen Xin nodded, "Where is my friend now?"

Tyrone smiled bitterly, "We don't know."

As soon as he saw Chen Xin's expression, he immediately explained: "That day they found my friend hiding in the hospital, and there was a conflict. I knocked out their commander, and then forced them to surrender."

Chen Xin nodded and waited for the old man's next words.

Tyrone said tiredly: "Originally, I just wanted to drive them away so that they would never bother us again, but..."

He didn't say any more.

Sometimes, once cruelty begins, it never ends easily.

Some people died and others turned into monsters.

In the chaos, there are too many mistakes and too much pain.

"Don't worry, Hydewood, Daryl, and Everett are still alive, and a man named Peterson is also alive. If you are looking for the commander named Rivers, I'm sorry, he died
