Chapter 65: Chapter 65 N City

He had delayed long enough.

If even more powerful mutated creatures arrived… Sylas’s expression turned serious.

“I need to catch up. Now.”

When Sylas was fighting against the mutated tigers, the roars of the tigers caught Major Kyle and the group’s attention.

Roar!

Major Kyle frowned as he got ready with his gun.

“Everyone stay vigilant. I am afraid it’s a mutated tiger,” Major Kyle said in a serious tone.

“Major, it seems like it’s more than one,” Shuan said, gripping the steering wheel tightly in his hand.

All the soldiers and ability users were ready to face the mutated tigers, but as they waited, they realised that the tigers were fighting with something else.

As their cars drove further and further away from the place where they heard the roars of the tigers, Major Kyle’s scrunched brows relaxed slightly. “It looks like the mutated tigers are fighting with something else, which is good for us.”

Shuan lightly breathed a sigh of relief.

“But why would a tiger appear here? I don’t think this area has ever reported spotting a tiger. It’s not a home for exotic animals,” Leo said, confused.

Major Kyle immediately sat up straight when he heard Leo’s words. “The zoo,” Major Kyle said.

“The zoo in N City? Makes sense,” Shuan said.

“Aren’t we heading to N City? Will it be safe?” Leo said worriedly.

“This is not good. There are many other wild animals in the zoo. If they have mutated and escaped, it would not be good for us. We might face other mutated animals on the way. Stay alert,” Major Kyle said in a stern tone.

Sylas rushed out of the forest, and when he got on the road, he sprinted for a while before taking out his car.

Within a few minutes, Sylas caught up with the rest of the cars.

Everything on the way was calm. Sylas drove steadily, and at the same time, his senses were spread out, keeping watch.

After driving for a while, Sylas felt a mutated plant slowly making its way towards the car in front of him.

The tendrils of the mutated plant wanted to coil around the car’s tire.

Sylas opened the window and sent out a spatial blade, cutting off the tendrils. The mutated plant shrieked as it shot back inside the forest.

The survivors inside the car were not even aware of the danger that had just approached them.

In front, Major Kyle and the others also dealt with a low-level mutated plant.

“There are quite a number of low-level mutated plants and animals. If given time, I am afraid it won’t be good for us humans,” Leo said.

They had already dealt with quite a number of mutated plants and animals on the way. They were fortunate that they hadn’t come across any high-level ones.

Actually, they had, but Sylas dealt with them before they could come face to face.

The journey went peacefully for the rest of the night. Apart from a few low-level mutated plants that tried to sneak attack the cars from the side, which were all dealt with by Sylas, everything went smoothly.

As dawn began to break, they were also getting closer to N City.

Sylas held a piece of bread in his mouth as he drove.

The weather seemed extra chilly as they neared N City.

In an hour, they would be able to enter N City, which was the first city after Pinewood Town.

Just as Sylas finished eating his bread, he immediately braked his car, coming to a stop.

He sensed mutated creatures ahead. At the same time, all the cars stopped. Major Kyle and the others at the front were already out of the car. The survivors dared not get out.

Sylas waved his hand and stored his car in space. Then, jumping up onto the roof of the car ahead, Sylas ran towards the front at great speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of gunshots rang out.

“There are zombies at the back too. Soldiers deal with those zombies. Ability users deal with mutated animals,” Major Kyle shouted as he wielded his fireball and fought against a wild elephant.

Sylas arrived at the front within a minute. When he got there, he saw low-level zombies and three mutated elephants.

Ability users were fighting against the mutated elephants. Newly awakened ability users were not familiar with the use of their abilities and were struggling to fight.

Sylas wanted to help them, but he sensed a stronger presence approaching at great speed.

’So fast, what is that?’ Sylas thought.

Sylas bypassed Major Kyle and the others.

Major Kyle had already noticed Sylas’s arrival, but when he saw Sylas bypassing them, he was confused for a second. Then he immediately realised.

’There is another mutated creature ahead!’ Major Kyle thought with a frown.

Sure enough, everyone felt another presence coming from ahead, and it was quite strong.

Sylas saw a mutated leopard running towards them at a fast speed.

The mutated leopard was terrifyingly fast.

The moment Sylas locked eyes with it, the leopard growled and sped up.

’Too fast!’ Sylas thought as his space ability surged out.

A space barrier formed in front of him.

Bang!

The leopard crashed into the barrier head-on. The impact was brutal. The force travelled through the barrier and slammed into Sylas’s arms. His feet slid backward several meters from the impact.

The leopard twisted midair and landed nimbly and lightly, crouching low.

It looked at Sylas with its sharp yellow eyes, filled with killing intent.

The leopard slowly took a few steps back and rushed towards him again.

Sylas quickly sent out a spatial blade and moved back as he raised the space barrier again.

The leopard nimbly dodged the spatial blade. It kicked off the barrier and flipped backward, landing on the hood of an abandoned car. The metal crumpled under its weight.

Before Sylas could attack, the leopard leaped again.

Sylas waved his hand.

Spatial blades shot out.

Slash! Slash!

The leopard twisted its body unnaturally. One blade cut through its flank, ripping flesh and drawing blood. The rest sliced through empty air.

The leopard landed, skidded across the road, and stopped. Blood dripped onto the road, but it didn’t retreat. Instead, it growled and lowered its body.

Then it charged again.

Boom!

Sylas raised both hands.

A space barrier formed around his body.

Bang!

The leopard slammed into him like a cannonball. The barrier shook violently. Sylas was thrown backward, crashing into a car behind him.

The car dented inward.

The leopard didn’t stop.

It attacked again immediately.

Sylas quickly raised the space barrier inftont of him.

Clang! Bang!

Growl!

Claws and fangs rained down on the barrier as the leopard growled at Sylas.

“So strong…” Sylas muttered.

This was not a low-level mutated beast.

The leopard suddenly changed tactics.

It retreated several steps, then sprinted forward again.

Sylas reacted instantly.

He flicked his wrist.

A spatial blade cut downward.

Slash!

The blade cleanly sliced through the leopard’s tail.

Roar!

The leopard howled in pain as it rolled away. Red blood sprayed onto the road.

The leopard’s movement faltered for a moment.

Sylas seized that moment and raised his hand. Multiple spatial blades formed behind him, hovering silently.

The leopard sensed the danger and leaped away, but it was too late.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Three blades shot out.

One spatial blade sliced through the mutated leopard’s shoulder.

Growl!

At the same time, another spatial blade tore through its thigh, and the third cut across its chest, leaving a deep gash.

Growl!

The leopard crashed to the ground, rolling on its back in pain. Its breathing was ragged now, and blood soaked its fur.

But it still stood up, its red eyes fixed on Sylas, filled with fury. It lowered its body and charged once more.

Even though it was injured, it was still very fast.

Sylas narrowed his eyes.

A space barrier formed in front of him.

Bang!

The leopard’s body slammed into the space barrier and fell down.

Sylas quickly formed a compressed spatial blade and sent it towards the mutated leopard.

The leopard tried to dodge the compressed spatial blade, but it couldn’t.

Slash!

The spatial blade cleanly cut through its neck.

Blood splattered into the air, and the leopard’s head flew off.

The mutated leopard shook its body and took two more steps before collapsing heavily onto the road.

Thud!

The mutated leopard’s head fell a few meters away from its body and rolled a few times before coming to a stop.

Sylas stood there, breathing heavily. His arms trembled slightly from energy consumption.

He didn’t dare use his earth ability in front of others. Otherwise, the mutated leopard would have been dealt with easily if he had used both earth and space abilities.

Sylas took a step forward, cut open the leopard’s head, and took out a white-colored energy stone the size of a marble.

“A high-level mutated animal,” Sylas murmured.

He stored it in his pocket instead of his space.
