Chapitre 9: Mutated Hounders
Although the two men and one woman didn't seem to have realized Shi Tian's presence yet, they were quite arrogant and confident in themselves.
They were chattering and laughing wildly, almost as if the current environment didn't bother them one bit.
'Their clothes are different…' Shi Tian inspected their items of clothing and realized it was something new. Some mechanical parts on their clothes were constantly rotating.
Despite their weird clothes, what astonished Shi Tian the most was that each one of them was wearing a mask that resembled a gas mask or military mask.
Shi Tian didn't understand what their goal was to be on West Street and could only watch cautiously.
The information he lacked was too much for him to comprehend what they actually do.
However, one thing he knows for sure is that these groups of people were definitely not in the friendly category type.
Just now, one of the men had hopped off the truck and began vandalizing despite there not being much to vandalize.
He had spiky yellowish hair; his chest was exposed in the open, showcasing his muscles. His figure was quite tall but his face was of the boorish kind.
"Ah damn it. Just why the hell were we forced to be deployed in West Street when not a single monster was sighted here. The agency must be too paranoid lately with the surge of monsters." The same man that was vandalizing suddenly shouted in annoyance.
He was placing his assault rifle on top of his shoulder, and acting as if he was the male lead of a shooting action movie.
Needless to say, it was a cringe action and one that could put him at risk for being so carefree.
"Enough of your complaints and let's begin the search. My radar is picking up a scan that some monsters are playing hide and seek here." The woman got off the truck and said.
Her red hair was extremely short and she was wearing bra tops-like clothes, seemingly allowing her an easy movement of her arms and body.
"Yolanda is right. If you keep acting so carefreely, then one day, you're going to die in a corner, Xavier." Another man interrupted and laughed heartily.
He was an elderly man with a beard on his chin. There was a scar on the left side of his eyes, almost as if it had been sliced by a sharp tool.
"Ah shut up you damn old man. Just focus on your driving and save me the lectures." Xavier didn't seem pleased about being reprimanded by the elderly man and straight-up gave him the middle finger.
"Whatever, if he dies because of his careless action, then he deserves it. Just save your breath, Hugo, and let him be." Yolanda sneered coldly and glanced at a device in her hand.
"The monsters are located 3 meters from the left side of those broken buildings. They seemed to be hiding quite well to not make any sound." She added.
Hugo smirked coldly and held his assault rifle, positioned in the direction that Yolanda had just called out.
"Heh, Xavier can do the usual and bait them out. My rifle must have been feeling hungry right now." Hugo laughed heartily, but his arms remained calm and steady.
And as this scene was unfolding, Shi Tian was also peeking in the direction that Yolanda called out.
They were extremely loud and had no intention of lowering their tones, so Shi Tian was quite grateful to be able to eavesdrop on their conversation safely.
'So they are here to exterminate some monsters that are hiding.' Shi Tian came to this conclusion based on their current actions.
Nevertheless, he remained stealthy and made sure to not be spotted by them.
As he quietly watched by the alley, Shi Tian heard a loud roaring sound and the earth's surface seemed to tremble from the sound alone. He could feel the vibration beneath his feet and Shi Tian was somehow calm by the sudden change, almost as if the current situation was normal.
While he was a bit dazed by the vibration, the three people in front of him had begun to fire their assault rifles at the broken place near the left side of them.
The assault rifle's sound was a bunch of loud "Pow Pow" and nearly caused Shi Tian's eardrums to explode. He had to suffer in one of his ears since he only had the left hand to cover his left ear whereas his right ear remained open.
The shooting sounds continued for a few minutes before he heard the woman cry aloud and yelled out to her teammates.
"Shit, it's a mutated one. Take cover!" Yolanda cursed and swiftly retreated a few meters away from the broken building.
Meanwhile, Hugo and Xavier reacted quick enough to avoid a direct clash with the mutated monsters.
The mutated monsters were all shining in a bright red color and had their eyes locked on them. They looked like hounds from the underworld, and the most noticeable thing is that they were also equipped with strong metal armor.
Although the metal seemed to be the same one as Shi Tian recognized from the Armored Rats, he could tell the metal on these hounds was far higher quality and durable.
After all, the bullets that were fired from their assault rifle had dealt zero damage. In fact, the bullets didn't even leave a dent, causing this group of people to hold a dreadful expression.
"Fuck, the agency is basically telling us to die. These two are mutated Hounders. Our normal bullets can't even penetrate their outer shell, much less their flesh." Xavier cursed in fury.
"If you know they are mutated Hounders, then keep your cool and be ready for a gruesome fight," Hugo said, putting his gun away and punching a button in his clothes.
The button made a beeping sound and a rocket launcher appeared from thin air, astonishing Shi Tian who was spying.
'Where did that rocket launcher come from?' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly.
