The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife

Chapter 1882: Chapter 1882: Facing the Enemy

The mercenaries holding firearms instantly raised their weapons and swept fire at the doorway, but the skin of these mutants was like the thick armor of an armored vehicle; bullets hitting it at most just scraped the skin and couldn’t directly kill. Moreover, these mutants rushed out directly, catching everyone off guard.

"How could this happen." Ye Shikai was utterly shocked that there were so many mutants within the Sea King Palace. How could these products of the HST project appear in South America’s Sea King Palace?

"Protect the young lady." Chen Ligong led the White Mist Army to guard Ji Qian. Although there were thousands present, these mutants surged up like a tide, numbering in the hundreds, and were fearless and ferocious. Combined with their half-human, half-beast appearance, some cultivators who had never seen the like panicked instantly.

"Prepare to engage." Although Ye Shikai didn’t know what was happening, these mutants were already right nearby, making retreat impossible. If he ordered a retreat, so many people present and being chased by the monsters could likely become scared birds, and it wouldn’t be a retreat but a rout...

The only way was to face the battle head-on and use the strongest power to kill all these mutants.

"Kill."

With the three Netherworld Generals absent, Wang Kai naturally had to assume the main role. Leading the members of the War God Temple, he charged first. Ye Shikai followed closely with the Hidden Guard, and the remaining cultivators stepped forward to fight the mutants.

Cha-cha.

The Mothman flew overhead, swooping down from above, its wings several meters long like two sharp blades. Some couldn’t dodge in time and had their arms cut off directly.

"What are these monsters, really."

"Run quickly, they’re practically impossible to kill."

Many people were terrified by the mutants’ "appearance" and frightening strength, and seeing things go south, they’d already planned to flee.

Boom.

A dozen minotaur mutants charged at the team fiercely, like tanks, unstoppable, slicing the thousands-strong team into two parts.

"Run quickly."

"Run, saving your life is paramount."

"Boss, it’s bad, some people have fled, if this continues, we’re going to be defeated." Soul Destroyer urgently reported.

"You lead people to stop them, anyone who dares to flee without permission, execute them all." Ye Shikai ordered.

"Understood."

"Advance and live, retreat and die, everyone follow me." Ye Shikai commanded, stabilizing the battle line as he held a sword in one hand and a knife in the other, having already slain more than a dozen mutants. These mutants are the outcomes of the HST project, incredibly strong, and combined with their huge physique and hard shell armor, even cultivators struggle to contend. Hundreds of mutants rushed out from the Sea King Palace like a death squad, scattering the Three Temples’ thousands of people within a short time.

"Qian, are you alright?" Ye Shikai fought his way to Ji Qian’s side, though by this time, many from the White Mist Army and Moon Guards had died.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine, we can’t keep fighting like this, people on the left side have started to collapse." Ji Qian advised.

"Alright, you immediately lead the main forces and retreat, I’ll cover the rear."

"This..."

"Enough, don’t say more, I know these mutants’ strength best; aside from me, no one else can really hold them off." Ye Shikai continued, "You and Elder Chen, lead the White Mist Army and everyone else to retreat, quickly."

"Alright."

"Soul Destroyer, you also lead the retreat, Old Wang, we stay to cover the rear."

"Alright."

"Alright."

Two hours later.

"Old Ye, those mutants have retreated." Wang Kai slowly approached Ye Shikai; the battle had ended ten minutes earlier, and everyone was utterly exhausted. Ye Shikai and Wang Kai led Netherworld Palace and War God Temple elites to cover the rear, suffering heavy losses but also eliminating over two hundred mutants. In the end, the remaining mutants surprisingly retreated voluntarily. Ye Shikai never expected these monsters to know how to retreat; he always thought they would only fight to the death, but it’s a good thing after all; their losses were too great, and they lacked the energy to pursue.

"Alright." Ye Shikai was already too exhausted to say much more. From the current situation, Doris must have colluded with the HST’s hidden organization to acquire so many mutants. Thinking of this, Ye Shikai regretted not eliminating her in Hong Kong; this group, arriving abroad, would surely continue to create mutants, just like today, hundreds of mutants making thousands of cultivators difficult to resist. If they create thousands of mutants, who could stop them?

"Old Ye, what are these monsters, really, they’re so strong." Wang Kai was covered in monster blood, tearing a piece of fabric from the corpses of cultivators on the ground to wipe himself clean. He truly deserved to be called the War God; even faced with unknown monsters, he was fearless and fought head-on, eliminating more than twenty mutants this time.

"The HST project is about developing a potion that can transform humans into mutants, half-human, half-beast, with strong power equivalent at least to Divine Separation stage. I’ve encountered them several times before; although I won, the mastermind always managed to escape, like last time in Hong Kong. Counting the time, it’s been several months; unexpectedly, they appeared this time in Sea King Palace, and I’m even more surprised Doris colluded with them."

"That’s quite normal, that woman is sinister and cunning, stopping at nothing to defeat us; she wouldn’t hesitate to use any means." Wang Kai said angrily.

"How many people did we lose this time?" Ye Shikai looked at the corpses scattered everywhere, feeling somewhat cold-hearted; fighting so many mutants had resulted in over a thousand deaths.

"Possibly over a thousand. If you hadn’t directed Moon God and Soul Destroyer to lead the retreat earlier, more might’ve been lost. Moreover, if there had been a real collapse, we would’ve been in terrible shape." Wang Kai sighed.

"Okay, regardless of everything, we won this time. Old Ye, let’s signal for Moon God to lead the main forces back."

"Alright." Ye Shikai nodded in agreement.

Ye Shikai looked into the distance, the remaining mutants had fled into the forest. They were all half-human, half-beast; entering the forest was like a fish in water, impossible to chase. He was also quite curious; these mutants should lack consciousness, but why did they retreat this time? Could it be the HST project has developed mutants with self-awareness or perhaps someone is remotely controlling them somehow.
