Chapter 15: No One Understands Infiltration Better Than I Do【Please Keep Reading!】
“Huh!? What the...”
Before the contaminated guard posted at the door could even react, Maomao had already bitten his neck clean off.
These were mere D-class individuals, utterly no match for Maomao.
Even though they were covered with all sorts of erratic mechanical parts, it made no difference.
Maomao instantly dispatched one person after another, yet instead of making a swift exit, it acted provocatively like an ordinary pet dog.
Wagging its tail, it kept barking loudly at the entrance.
“Damn it, did I see that right? That’s a dog!?”
The guard nearby ignored his comrade’s gruesome death and stared at Maomao with shining eyes, instinctively overlooking its terrifying speed.
“Brothers, come out quickly! There’s a dog! A living dog!”
“Are you drunk? Where the hell would a... Holy shit! It’s a dog! A living dog!”
“Someone drag this useless thing to the mess hall, the rest of you chase after it! Tonight, we feast on dog meat!”
“Woof woof woof! Dog meat! Dog meat!”
“Are you all crazy? Stay put! If anyone dares to take a step, I’ll blow their brains out! Every single one!”
With Maomao’s baiting, chaos erupted at the front gate instantly.
Sounds of scrambling, screams, excitement, scolding, and cursing filled the air nonstop.
It was as lively as a street performance on a busy overpass.
As for whether they suspected Maomao was deliberately sent to lure them into a trap?
Sorry, their minds were already consumed by the word “hunger,” leaving no room for such thoughts.
Besides…
That’s a damn dog!
Who would suspect a dog of possessing such awareness and execution ability?
Taking advantage of the turmoil at the front, Lu Wenwu and Yuan Shi quietly circled to the rear and slipped into the contaminated faction's main compound.
If this were the protagonist of a movie, this would be a flawless infiltration:
Lure the monsters out, climb the wall, sneak into the main building, locate the BOSS, deliver a perfect kill, and walk away gracefully…
Everything perfectly timed and executed.
Ten steps to kill one, a thousand miles without a trace.
Mission complete, brush off the dust, and conceal your deeds and fame.
Just thinking about it sounds incredibly cool!
But when it came to Lu Wenwu, things didn’t quite go that smoothly.
As he landed with the flair of a superhero, he turned his head and locked eyes with a small crayfish-like creature covered in scales.
This dumbfounded crouching creature reminded Lu Wenwu of the loyal warrior Baltan.
Not only was the smell here somewhat peculiar, but this Baltan-like contaminated being was also completely naked from behind.
Obviously, the scene grew a bit awkward in an instant.
Lu Wenwu was the first to speak, trying to ease the tension: “You’re here to take a dump, right?”
Before the creature could respond, Yuan Shi jumped down as well, visibly shocked.
With six eyes meeting now, the atmosphere became even more uncomfortable.
Seeing their surprisingly normal appearances, the “Baltan” creature suddenly panicked.
“I... this... you! You are...”
“We are photography enthusiasts from the Alpha Centauri constellation,” Lu Wenwu replied without expecting the creature to catch the joke, then expressionlessly twisted its neck and sent it off to meet the ancestors of the Baltan star.
[You have gained 0.1 freedom attribute points.]
Lu Wenwu glanced at his personal stats.
Thanks to the “Nemesis of Evil,” he had accumulated a total of 11.37 freedom attribute points — quite a fruitful haul.
All this was from his proactive assaults over the past few days under the guise of experiments and capturing tongues, repeatedly clearing patrol squads.
Each patrol squad consisted of five members: one D+ and four D-class.
He took nearly every kill — pure, satisfying farming.
If not for the worry that dragging this out too long might cause complications, Lu Wenwu would have happily stayed here for three to five months.
Killing all these guys would surely send his attribute points soaring!
Just as Lu Wenwu was reflecting on this, several other contaminated beings, seemingly also on a bathroom break, walked over laughing and chatting.
Well… maybe they just wanted to stretch their legs after eating.
At this moment, Yuan Shi felt his blood nearly freeze.
The instant the first of them appeared, he instinctively tried to pull Lu Wenwu toward a nearby patch of grass to hide.
This had become an almost instinctive reaction, faster than thought itself.
But unexpectedly, when he pulled, he ended up pulling nothing.
Only he himself rolled into the grass with a perfect tactical maneuver.
Lu Wenwu, instead of retreating, advanced decisively, activating Shadow Step.
His figure shot forward like an arrow.
“Bang!”
An ugly head exploded like a watermelon, scales scattering everywhere.
[You have gained 1 freedom attribute point.]
Before the others could react, Lu Wenwu unleashed five consecutive punches in rapid succession.
Each blow either smashed the enemy’s heart or crushed the head of a contaminated being with pinpoint precision.
Using a combination of Military Combat Technique and Military Way Killer Fist, he descended like a god, calmly annihilating six foes in an instant.
However, to Lu Wenwu’s surprise, the last female contaminated being reacted.
Instead of surrendering, she launched an attack!
Her razor-sharp claws, capable of tearing through rock, swiped toward Lu Wenwu’s only exposed face.
The brutal force even caused the air to whistle faintly.
Yet Lu Wenwu remained unfazed and countered with another punch.
The black claws slashed fiercely across his head.
But those blade-like edges failed to pierce even slightly!
They left only three white marks, much like a normal girl’s manicure.
The moment the contaminated being finished her attack, Lu Wenwu’s punch shattered her skull, leaving only a messy bundle of hair fluttering in the wind.
[You have gained 1 freedom attribute point.]
“Purity is still too low,” Lu Wenwu said with some disappointment.
These D+ level minions couldn’t even breach his skin.
He hoped the C-rank BOSS would be somewhat stronger.
Mowing down enemies is fun, but it lacks challenge.
Lu Wenwu was naturally bold and loved challenges.
“Fifth brother… our mission wasn’t to infiltrate and assassinate...?” Yuan Shi asked timidly, having witnessed everything and watching Lu Wenwu expertly stuff the bodies into his backpack.
“Yeah, so what?” Lu Wenwu replied, moving deeper into the building while casually killing two contaminated beings who crossed their path.
Freedom attribute points increased by +0.2.
Yuan Shi fell silent for two seconds.
“…Then shouldn’t we sneak past the guards and strike straight at the core? Walking in openly and killing as we go — does that make sense? This isn’t infiltration or assassination, it’s blatant slaughter…”
