“Quick! Take some fuel from each vehicle and pour it onto the scavengers’ motorcycles! Hurry up! Move faster!”
“Group 1 and Group 2, you go and move our motorcycles outside the wall and build a defense line!”
“Group 3, Group 4, Group 5, cover Group 1 and Group 2 while they build the defense line!”
“All the others, shoot with me and suppress the aberrations with firepower!
Don’t let them chase our motorcycles!”
Kent yelled orders and raised his gun to shoot first.
The team members received their orders and started to act.
Although the appearance of the aberrations shocked everyone, they were seasoned security personnel who had carried out many missions and did not fall into a state of confusion.
The scene was well-organized and orderly.
As Kent fired, he spoke to Mark:
“Mark, Ray Lee, you two escort Fars Scott out first and wait for us on the northern slope. I’ll blow up the scavengers’ motorcycles, and then we’ll evacuate by car. Wait for us on the slope, don’t come over. Understood?”
“Yes, captain!” Mark grabbed Fars and ran out without looking back, “Follow me, Ray Lee, Fars! Let’s leave this place to the captain!”
Noland Lee squinted his eyes and carefully observed the misshapen creatures before turning to run.
These humanoid creatures, with heads, hands, and legs, showed no resemblance to humans in their actions.
Their heads were smooth gray ellipsoids.
When attacking, these ellipsoids would split open at the top, exposing rows of tiny sharp teeth and a filthy mouth.
Gray, long tongues would shoot out from this terrifying mouth, whipping at enemies like a whip.
After bending their limbs, they could leap high like grasshoppers.
Their limbs could extend in mid-air, grabbing onto corners or windows of houses ten meters away, allowing them to dodge and move around. Their movements were so unpredictable that they could easily avoid clumsy gunfire.
What was even more horrifying was that these aberrations had astonishing defense capabilities.
When a bullet hit their skin, it didn’t splatter any blood but formed a small crater at the point of impact.
In just half a second, the bullet would be ejected from the crater and the gray skin would return to its original state.
The good news was that although the aberrations’ skin could block bullets, it couldn’t completely nullify the bullets’ impact.
When they were hit, they would open their mouths and let out a painful scream, and their attacks would pause as well.
As long as the firepower was strong enough and the damage was pouring in, it was still possible to forcibly kill these monsters.
Before leaving, Noland Lee didn’t forget to use his Deconstruction technique.
[System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct a “small misshapen creature”

“Small form, standard form…”
Noland Lee glanced back at the battlefield halfway through his run.
Kent activated Alchemy Weaponry ‘Iron Guardian Wild Bull’ and shot an armor-piercing bullet with his alchemy firearm, shattering the head of an aberration.
A large splash of gray pus exploded and fell to the ground, evaporating into gray fumes and dispersing with the wind.
The aberration killed by Kent was the small type, about the same size as a 12-year-old, and not more than 1.5 meters long.
Just one alchemical armor-piercing bullet was enough to kill the small aberration.
A more troublesome kind was the standard form aberration.
The standard aberration size was about the same as an adult man and very resilient.
Noland Lee saw Kent fire three armor-piercing bullets just to destroy the head of the standard aberration.
The effectiveness of the other security team members’ firepower didn’t need to be mentioned.
They couldn’t break through the aberration’s defense and could only impede its movements.
Had it not been for the fact that the aberration’s whipping tongue was not very powerful, the security personnel would have suffered casualties by now.
Noland Lee suddenly had a crazy idea.
“If the aberrations fall into Tatis Empire’s hands, wouldn’t they have a tremendous effect?
“Maybe, the Empire’s Division Intelligence Unit Three could, based on this, research bulletproof skin or something.”
“Wait, I remember that in the ‘Biochemical Soldiers Experiment Plan,’ there was mention of ‘bulletproof skin.’ Could it be that this research achievement was inspired by the aberrations?
“Where else could Division Intelligence Unit Three find such exceptional bullet-resistant mutant materials? There’s no creature or monster in the
Empire that can block bullets with merely their flesh like the aberrations.”
The more Noland thought about it, the more he believed that the Empire had already begun researching the aberrations.
However, due to his lack of memory from the researchers in the Division Intelligence Unit Three, he couldn’t confirm this yet.
“Fars, have you alchemists systematically studied aberrations? Is there any way to kill them efficiently?”
Noland looked at the panting alchemist beside him.
Fars was a man who focused on alchemy experiments; he had a weak physique and was utterly exhausted from running on the sandy slope for just a short distance.
“Huff- huff-” Fars gasped for breath and finally mustered some strength to answer the question:
“Of course, basically every alchemist has studied aberrations since they’re quite common in the Great Rift in the city center..
