Chapter 783: Mutant Bird

When he heard Pei Xun’s questions, Huang Weiguo nodded and replied, "The DNA test is here." As he handed over the document, he lowered his gaze to mask his emotions.

Pei Xun was too shocked to notice his subtle expression. He read the DNA report over and over again. After a long time, he finally closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "You can leave now."

The moment he heard this, Huang Weiguo gave him a salute and left the office. When he was alone, Pei Xun’s eyes reddened. Although he was cruel, ruthless, and cold-blooded, he still had feelings toward his only son.

Compared to others, his son was his chosen heir. He had been groomed since he was young. Watching him grow up from a little boy to an adult, it would be a lie if he said he didn’t feel any fatherly love toward Pei Yijun.

He thought that he would be able to hand over the base to him soon. Unexpectedly, he met with an accident and died during his mission.

Closing his eyes, Pei Xun let out a sigh and muttered softly, "Is this my retribution?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

While he was grieving in silence, his son, Pei Yijun, was busy killing mutant birds that had appeared a few days ago.

As the snow fell continuously, countless fireballs, wooden stakes, lightning bolts, and metal spears flew toward the flock of birds crowding above the Mountain Base.

Crack! Boom!

Another thunderbolt struck the biggest mutant bird and left a deep wound on its wings. Feeling the pain, the bird let out a short, deep nasal grunt, similar to a bark.

The next moment, the bird opened its beak and threw several wind blades toward the guards. The wind blades were fast and sharp.

Seeing the incoming attack, Li Jing raised his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a metal shield appeared in front of them.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of metal colliding with sharp objects echoed in the area. With a flick of his hand, the metal shield disappeared and changed into a long spear.

Holding the spear, he bent his knee and leaped into the air. With a stab, his metal spear pierced a mutant bird’s head. Instead of pulling out his spear, he swung it diagonally, throwing the mutant bird toward the guards.

Before the mutant bird slammed to the ground, the guards quickly caught it using a net. Afterward, one of them carried the mutant bird to the side and stored it in a sack.

"Vice Commander, after this battle, we won’t have to worry about running out of meat to eat!" one of the guards shouted excitedly.

"Stop talking and catch more!" Li Jing shouted back and threw several mutant birds at the guards.

Not far from them, Li Yang and Chu Zhimiao were working together to catch the birds. Unlike Li Jing, who killed the mutant birds, they wanted to catch them alive. Since these birds were edible, it was better to catch them and breed them for meat and eggs.

Since they wanted to catch live birds, their speed was slower, and after a whole day, they only managed to catch a total of fifteen birds. Five of them were male, and the rest were female.

While everyone was focused on their own tasks, they suddenly heard a loud sound coming from the front line.

BOOM!

The moment the lightning bolt hit the pillars, the electricity moved like a snake, connecting all of the pillars. In less than ten seconds, the area above the base was covered with a dense lightning web.

Whenever a mutant bird touched the lightning web, it would be zapped. Even if it was not burned to death, it would be stunned for a few seconds. This was enough for the guards to shoot the mutant birds with their ability skills.

Since the number of mutant birds was more than five hundred, they didn’t aim to kill them all but to cripple their wings so they wouldn’t be able to escape.

Trapped, the mutant birds let out panicked cries. Unfortunately, despite their desperate attempts to escape, they were still caught in the end. An hour later, the last mutant bird finally fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Pei Yijun turned to the nearby guards and said, "Clear the area and send the mutant birds to the logistics department."

"Understood."

After giving some instructions, Pei Yijun left the wall and returned to his office. On his way, his satellite phone rang. Checking the name, he raised his eyebrows and accepted the call.

"Vice Commander Wen, it’s rare for you to contact me. Do you need me for something?" he asked.

"Commander Pei, we received news from Jiangning Base. Pei Gan was spotted a few days ago."

The moment he heard this, Pei Yijun narrowed his eyes. "I never expected him to actually leave the facility."
