Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 287: 184. Dire Situation! Single-handedly Battling Two Rare-Level Fighters!

So fast!

Lin Zichen was whisked through the water at breakneck speeds by Yuan Dongzhi, clearly feeling that Yuan Dongzhi's underwater speed was more than ten times his own.

In just a brief moment, they had surged hundreds of meters away.

This directly left the pursuers wearing hunched-back masks far behind, losing sight of them completely.

It should be known that the mask wearers were rare-level fighters, and their overall strength was even stronger than Yuan Dongzhi's.

However, at this very moment, when it came to velocity, the mask wearers couldn't compare with Yuan Dongzhi at all.

The reason for this was terrain.

On land, the mask wearers could crush Yuan Dongzhi in speed.

Unfortunately, their current location was an ocean terrain, Yuan Dongzhi's absolute home ground.

After more than ten seconds.

Yuan Dongzhi had taken Lin Zichen nearly ten thousand meters away.

They moved from the deep water zone to the shallow water zone.

They had completely shaken off the pursuit of the mask wearers.

"Splash—"

Yuan Dongzhi surfaced.

She brought Lin Zichen up through the water, creating a huge splash on the surface and then soaking wet, they landed on a towering giant tree.

Normally, even at high speed, she could emerge as calm as a mirror with only a faint ripple.

But now, her physical condition was terrible, unable to precisely control every part of her body.

Earlier during the fierce battle with the mask wearers, she had overactivated the exotic beast gene within her body, leading to a tendentious mutation occurring and losing some control over it.

That was the weakness of a genetic integrator.

While relying on the exotic beast gene for extraordinary powers, they also risked the backlash of that exotic beast gene.

"We're safe now,"

Yuan Dongzhi said with a somewhat pale face as she set Lin Zichen down.

Lin Zichen leaned against the trunk in front of him, his face just as pale, feeling dizzy and nauseous.

The former was due to discomfort from the backlash of the exotic beast gene.

The latter was because the undercurrent speed had been too fast, exceeding the limits his body could withstand, causing his qi-blood to go awry and leading to dizziness and nausea.

"Xiao Chen!"

An anxious voice called out.

Lin Zichen took a moment to look in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Qinghan, whom he longed for, perched atop another towering giant tree.

Besides, above Shen Qinghan, he saw over a dozen military mechanized beings, two armed helicopters, and one giant mech.

The military rescue had arrived.

No wonder Principal Yuan said they were safe now, the military rescue had finally come...

Lin Zichen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Swoosh—"

A crisp sound of leaves and branches scraping against each other rose.

Shen Qinghan, not knowing where she found it, swung over through tens of meters of distance with a sturdy vine.

Lin Zichen reached out to catch her and held her tight in his arms.

Soon, Lu Tianrong, Li Moyu, and others also swung over one after the other, clutching the vines.

They were all dripping wet, evidently having emerged from the water not long ago.

It was likely that they had just seen the military rescue and decided to stop fleeing underwater, instead climbing trees to wait for the military reinforcement.

"Principal Yuan, are you alright?"

Lu Tianrong approached Yuan Dongzhi, seeing her pale face, and couldn't help but respectfully express his concern.

Yuan Dongzhi replied indifferently, "I'm fine."

Then, she asked, "Why is it only you few, where are the other special training students?"

Lu Tianrong said with a guilty face, "We were attacked by a fox-eared girl earlier, and then we all got separated, and we haven't found anyone yet."

"I see..."

Yuan Dongzhi nodded and asked no further.

Separated meant separated; she did not care, as long as the five students from Shan University were not separated.

Meanwhile.

Shen Qinghan stepped down from Lin Zichen's arms, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him and said:

"Xiao Chen, I was really worried, afraid you would be kidnapped by the people from Divine Plant Cult. Can we not participate in these dangerous training sessions anymore?"

"Yeah, we won't participate anymore."

Lin Zichen wiped her tears with his hand and nodded immediately without a second thought.

He was not sure if he would participate in the future.

But he knew Shen Qinghan needed to hear such an answer to soothe her right now.

"Xiao Chen, are you hurt anywhere?"

"Just some minor skin injuries, but they've all healed now."

"Where were you hurt? Let me see."

"They've already healed."

"Even if they've healed, I still want to see."

Shen Qinghan insisted.

Lin Zichen, somewhat helplessly, extended a hand for her to inspect, saying, "My wrist was injured earlier, some skin was broken by the vine, but it has all healed now, you can't even tell it was injured."

Shen Qinghan silently took Lin Zichen's hand and carefully examined his wrist to see if it had indeed healed.

Lin Zichen let her inspect, looking up at the military reinforcements in the sky.

Not one genetic integrator among them, all mechanical beings, along with two armed helicopters and a massive mech.

After a quick scan.

Lin Zichen's gaze soon settled on the only mech present.

It was the Shanhai, previously seen in the military district, a behemoth standing 10 meters tall.

The pilot who had been responsible for bringing the students from Shan University to the military district had done a simple introduction of this mech.

It was named after Shanhai City, and its combat capabilities were said to match those of rare level creatures.

"Hum—"

Accompanied by the noise of anti-gravitational propulsion devices firing up.

The Shanhai mech came alive.

From the space in front of them, it moved slowly toward the towering tree where Lin Zichen was, hovering horizontally in front of Yuan Dongzhi.

Seconds later, a compartment in the chest of the mech opened, revealing a mechanized human with most of his body metalized.
