Chapter 688: Leopard Attack
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
Meanwhile, John, who was lying on the ground, used the last bit of his strength and pounced on her.
“Go! Find the rest of the team!”
Caught off guard, Yao Tang grabbed a hold of his legs and turned the situation around. However, before she could deal with the other woman, she saw that Anna had already run away.
The only thing that was left was her black backpack.
Yao Tang kicked the man to the side and saw that there was another array of equipment in his backpack. A professional.
There was even some mountain climbing equipment in his bag.
They were all the latest edition.
There were even flashlights hidden in his bag as well. It was obvious that they came here to find something. She pursed her lips.
Upon looking to the side, Yao Tang saw that the woman had also left her bag there. Without another word, she rummaged through her bag.
It seemed that Anna’s bag wasn’t similar to John’s at all.
The contents of her bag had to do with carrying more harmful poisons. Inside the pockets, however, held a small amount of medicine, in case of emergencies like anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.
However, what really caught her attention was the thin piece of paper at the bottom of her bag.
The paper looked like it was waterproof.
Narrowing her eyes, Yao Tang took out a lighter and tried to burn it, but it seemed to have also been fire-resistant. Interesting.
Upon unfolding the paper, she saw that there were foreign words scribbled on it.
Wasn’t that the drawing of Fengyue Peak?
Was this a map? In the southeast portion of the map, she saw that a large circle was drawn. This was the final destination!
After a few quick glances, she stuffed the paper into her own bag.
Then, she wiped her dagger with a stray leaf before reassembling it all over again.
Before anything, a locator appeared in her hand.
“It’s indeed in this direction.”
Yao Tang stuffed the locator into her bag and walked in another direction. She didn’t even bother looking at the man she had just kicked to the ground.
The tall trees hooded over her, drawing long shadows that blocked her view of the sunlight. There was not a sound heard. It seemed that the earthquake had disrupted all sorts of activity in the environment.
Yao Tang walked past a thick tree when she spotted a couple of squirrels on the ground, with one trying to snatch some food from the other. Upon seeing her, they hurriedly hid behind their burrows.
It was strangely silent.
The wind howled around her, and she pursed her lips.
She took a piece of candy from her bag and threw it into her mouth.
She wondered how Lin Xin was doing.
She took out the locator to see that she was very close to her target location.
Yao Tang then disassembled the locator into a dagger. The dagger reflected the sharp light, making it appear even more dangerous.
She then, took another step forward.
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed across the forest, and Yao Tang immediately dodged the swinging claws directed at her.
She immediately jumped up the trees and gazed at the animals below her.
There, she could see a leopard…at least, it was what appeared to be a leopard. Its eyes were filled with anger as its stare bored onto her back. Green liquid trickled down the corner of its mouth.
A mutated animal!
Yao Tang’s eyes widened. This was the favorite experiment that the other men partook in back in the research institute. If Old Man Guan would see this, he’d be rubbing his hands in excitement.
Unfortunately, for them, she was the one who had witnessed such an experiment, and she wouldn’t allow it to live any longer.
She jumped down and slashed its body.
Before the mutated leopard noticed her, she landed right on its back and held the dagger with both her hands. She then proceeded to slash its neck.
WHISH!
The blade pierced its skin.
Its blood spilled onto the grass, dyeing it red. The leopard screamed in pain, and she resisted the urge to wince. It would be over soon.
The mutated leopard tried to raise its paws, trying to claw her away, but it was to no avail.
“Boom!”
The leopard had fallen.
Yao Tang walked over and dissected the lobster’s body. This was very secret knowledge, reserved for only members of the research institute. No one should know about this.
After dissecting it and giving it a proper burial, she headed to the stream to wash her hands.
Suddenly, she felt someone watching her from afar.
Yao Tang looked to the side to see a pure white fox hiding in the bushes.
It was staring at her.
