RITAAB 86.2

Part 2

The result was predictable. There was no follow-up. Qin Jiulin and Liu Zhongyuan stayed at the base for two days, cleared out a batch of half-beasts, and then went to the military base again.

Although Gao Siyang told them that the ammunition reserves were enough for the winter, they still felt that they needed to be prepared for the unexpected, and with Zhou Lie around, he also knew the military base very well.

Qin Jiulin and Liu Zhongyuan had gone out on this mission many times before. Although they hadn’t said explicitly that it was related to the military base, Zhou Lie wasn’t an idiot and had surely guessed it.

If that were the case, then he must also know that the military base must be safe, because Liu Zhongyuan and Qin Jiulin had been there many times.

If he took advantage of their lack of attention to sneak in and take some weapons and ammunition, it would be a loss and a threat to them. Although there were many supplies, they couldn’t be given to people who were hostile to them, right?

Qin Jiulin said, “We’re here, the military base is in front…”

Their eyes were very good. Standing at a high point, they saw figures flashing in the military base ahead. Zhang Yuankai and Mo Xinghui had been a step slower and had just come up, so they hadn’t noticed.

But they noticed that the two big guys hadn’t continued talking.

Zhang Yuankai asked, “What’s wrong? You stopped talking in the middle of a sentence?”

Mo Xinghui said, “It seems like there’s something strange at the military base. Did you see it? On the far left, there were some scattered car parts, but now the locations of those things have changed.”

Zhang Yuankai looked over and carefully observed, “You’re right…”

Since this military base had been cleared, no half-beasts or animals had been reckless enough to come close. The half-beasts had been killed, and the animals didn’t have the courage to get close to this place.

But…the situation was obviously not right, so they needed to calm down and carefully examine the situation.

Qin Jiulin said, “Could it be people sent by Zhou Lie? If we encounter them, kill them all. Zhang Yuankai, you stay here and hide well. The three of us will go over there.”

Zhang Yuankai’s hiding ability was still good, so there was no need to worry about him. Even if he was discovered, it wouldn’t matter, his defense was also top-notch, he was a variant beast-shifter! And a pangolin, at that. Those thick scales, normal defense wouldn’t be able to break through.

After speaking, Qin Jiulin transformed directly into a giant tiger and rushed towards the military base first. As soon as he transformed into his beast form, he smelled many unfamiliar but also somewhat familiar scents.

It was probably that he had occasionally smelled these people’s scents at the base, so he still had some memory now. Liu Zhongyuan came up from behind and strutted around the military base.

Of course, Mo Xinghui followed close to Qin Jiulin. The two of them were responsible for searching for suspicious things here. There was no need to guess anymore, the fresh smell left here already explained a lot.

Qin Jiulin flicked his tail, lowered his body slightly, and walked quietly forward. Mo Xinghui circled around to another direction.

Liu Zhongyuan lifted half of his body and looked down from a high position. As a result, he met the eyes of a huge toad that was hidden behind a building.

Liu Zhongyuan, “?!”

The snake was shocked!

It was actually a toad? This toad was half the size of a giant tiger! Its back was covered with poisonous bumps. So was it a variant beast-shifter or…an atavistic animal?

And at this moment, Qin Jiulin and Mo Xinghui also saw the big toad hidden behind the building from two different directions.

The cats were shocked, and it was double shock!

It was actually a toad!

Qin Jiulin froze on the spot. He could endure anything else, but this toad…he didn’t want to touch it. Just leave it to Liu Zhongyuan.

He pulled his paw back and gestured at Liu Zhongyuan, signaling him to come and deal with this toad. As Liu Zhongyuan moved closer, the toad suddenly attacked.

And it was attacking Qin Jiulin. Qin Jiulin was startled and jumped up from the ground, landing directly on a nearby rooftop. He looked down at the toad, staring intently at it, afraid of being touched!

Mo Xinghui also watched from a distance. If there was no other way, he would definitely step in, but now that there was another way, he still cherished his fluffy fur.

Qin Jiulin called out to Mo Xinghui, leaving the toad to Liu Zhongyuan. The two of them would go find the others. There must be more than one person here!

The two big cats quickly disappeared from the toad’s sight, leaving Liu Zhongyuan alone to fight it. Of course, Liu Zhongyuan also disliked the toad, but it didn’t matter, he was also very poisonous, and he also had scales. He could just wash himself in the river later, and it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

He couldn’t just leave it to the two big cats, right? Mo Xinghui didn’t care, but if it was Qin Jiulin…he would feel bad. Liu Zhongyuan didn’t have much patience for this toad.

The speed at which he smashed things with his tail had already reached a terrifying level. He had trained it while dealing with half-beasts.

But you had to admit, this toad had a very high jumping ability, it was fast, and it jumped very far, but had it forgotten that it couldn’t turn around while it was in the air?

He, Liu Zhongyuan, could still predict that, alright?

Just like that, the toad was slapped onto the ground by Liu Zhongyuan’s tail when it jumped up. But Liu Zhongyuan still felt that it was too disgusting to just smash it flat, so he didn’t hit it with all his might.

Therefore, the toad, whose bones were probably broken in many places on the ground, was lucky enough to survive. Just as Liu Zhongyuan was about to give it a few more hits to kill it, the toad turned into a woman, and she wasn’t wearing any clothes.

The woman lay on her side on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood on the ground, before rolling her eyes at Liu Zhongyuan and then fainting. Liu Zhongyuan was shocked.

But he quickly reacted. This person was indeed a variant beast-shifter, but he hadn’t seen her at the base, so she certainly wasn’t one of Gao Siyang’s people.

Then it was very easy to guess. This person was sent by Zhou Lie to search for military supplies, right?

At this time, Qin Jiulin and Mo Xinghui also encountered someone. When this person saw the giant tiger and snow leopard, he tore off his clothes directly and turned into a huge hippopotamus in front of them!

This hippopotamus was at least twice the size of Qin Jiulin’s giant tiger form!

The hippopotamus’ movement speed wasn’t very fast, but the opening of that mouth…was still quite scary.

Qin Jiulin looked at the hippopotamus that was opening its bloody mouth at him and felt a little worried. His sense of smell was very sensitive. After the hippopotamus opened its mouth, the stench was really… unbearable.

He couldn’t even help but put a paw on his nose, making a whimpering sound.

Mo Xinghui took the opportunity to scratch the hippopotamus’ butt! He made several deep claw marks into the hippopotamus’ flesh. Of course, fresh blood was constantly gushing out of the wound.

It dripped on the ground, forming a small pool of blood in a short time, and the smell of blood gradually became stronger. It’s not that Qin Jiulin couldn’t handle this hippopotamus, there were half-beasts that were uglier and stinker, but he just felt disgusted.

But that didn’t stop him from fighting.

The hippopotamus knew that it was being attacked from both sides. Its back was against the wall, and on its left and right were a giant tiger and a snow leopard.

Qin Jiulin shook his head and let out a deafening roar at the hippopotamus. Some of the animals around that had been on the verge of approaching because of the smell of blood did not dare to come closer after hearing the roar that resounded throughout the area.

At this time, Liu Zhongyuan also arrived. When he saw the hippopotamus that was opening its mouth as if to intimidate them, he immediately charged and used his head to knock into it, opening his mouth wide enough to grab the hippopotamus!

But the hippopotamus probably knew that it was no match for the people in front of it. It immediately transformed into a human and knelt on the ground. Liu Zhongyuan naturally stopped his attack in the middle.

Qin Jiulin transformed into human form and put on a long piece of clothing. “Who are you?”

Mo Xinghui moved closer to Qin Jiulin, of course, Qin Jiulin didn’t need protection, but he subconsciously moved closer to act as a bodyguard.

The person who had been scared by the giant snake and turned into a human knelt on the ground and quietly looked up. “I…I… wasn’t it just me?”

Qin Jiulin said, “There’s also a toad over there, don’t you know? Come on, let’s introduce ourselves first. Oh, right, Xinghui, can you go get that toad over here?”

Mo Xinghui nodded and quickly disappeared around the corner. Qin Jiulin continued, “It’s your turn, tell me, you’re sent by Zhou Lie, right?”

He hesitated for a while, but still said, “I…I’m… Lin Lou, a variant beast-shifter. My beast form is a hippopotamus. I’m one of General Zhou’s people.”

Qin Jiulin’s mouth twitched. “General Zhou, can he still be considered General now?”

The central authority hadn’t decided who was in charge. The generals here probably didn’t have much power, and maybe after a while, those positions would all be gone?

Qin Jiulin said, “You came here to steal military supplies, right?”

Lin Lou said, “Yes… General Zhou sent us to get them.”

Qin Jiulin said, “Did you drive here, or did you, like us, use a super large variant beast-shifter to transport it?”

Lin Lou secretly glanced at the giant snake behind Qin Jiulin. To be honest, seeing it up close was truly oppressive. He didn’t dare to look up.

Of course, if he had clothes on, that would be better. He still had some sense of shame.

At this time, Mo Xinghui brought the woman over. Because the woman was seriously injured and unconscious, he had turned into his human form, randomly found a piece of torn cloth nearby, wrapped her up, and then brought her over, carrying the cloth in his mouth.

He casually threw the woman on the ground, not caring if he was causing secondary damage. Anyway, one less of the variant beast-shifters hidden by Zhou Lie was a good thing.

Qin Jiulin said, “Who is she?”

Lin Lou said, “She is Cheng Lin, a variant beast-shifter. Her beast form is a toad.”

Qin Jiulin said, “You two are so weak, you’re probably here to stall for time, right? The real people transporting the military supplies have probably already left? You’re really willing to do this, you’re actually willing to sacrifice two variant beast-shifters for a batch of military supplies. It seems like your General Zhou doesn’t value you variant beast-shifters so much!”

Lin Lou said, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Qin Jiulin said, “Why is it nonsense? Do you think we don’t dare to kill you?”

Lin Lou was stunned. He did think that, and even Zhou Lie had told him that. After all, there were many places where people were needed now, and if they exposed their identity as variant beast-shifters, they would certainly be used.
