342: Chapter 342 Welcome Everyone

"Welcome everyone to this island."

"This island has a nice name called Superpower Island."

"You being able to come ashore alive means you are lucky enough."

"But luck is merely an admission ticket."

Lin Fan stood at the entrance of the Karst Cave, his fingers pressing against the hilt of his dagger. Down on the beach, those people also stopped in their tracks.

Those who were just checking on the wounded and gathering their teams all raised their heads.

The gun barrels were aimed at the woods, at the sky, and at the mountain body.

They were also searching for where the voice was coming from.

But no one could find it, because that voice did not come from any single direction; it was as if the entire island was speaking.

"I know why you all came here."

"Some are for their own family members, and some are for themselves."

"Others are taking money to do a job."

"Regardless of whatever reason you have, I can now clearly tell you..."

"Strength, speed, regeneration, sensory enhancement..."

"These abilities that surpass human limits truly exist."

"You have not been lied to."

The originally chaotic crowd on the beach began to undergo changes.

Some stopped bandaging, and some pushed away the companions supporting them.

There were also a few men wearing black combat uniforms exchanging glances with each other, their fingers hooking back onto the trigger guards.

They had just been washed ashore by the tsunami and then torn apart by mutant beasts for a round; their morale had originally been battered to pieces.

But those few words—Superpower—lifted them right back up again.

Hearing these words, Lin Fan instantly understood something.

These people came to this island for the Superpower, which meant those people had already made the secret of the island public.

This did not seem to be beneficial to them at all. What on earth were those people trying to do?

At this moment, the voice from the island continued to come, "And the method to obtain the Superpower is very simple."

Lin Fan's fingers tightened. He had a premonition that what came next would not be anything good.

The voice paused for two seconds and continued to spread out, "In the southern part of this island, there is a natural Karst Cave."

Inside the Karst Cave, everyone froze. Was this talking about them?

That voice did not give them any time to catch their breath.

"Inside the Karst Cave, there is a pregnant female."

"The fetus in her womb, after special cultivation, already possesses a complete gene-catalytic sequence."

"To put it simply..."

"Dividing and eating that thing, every single one of you can obtain abilities that surpass ordinary people."

The Karst Cave fell into a dead silence. This time, even Yang Ningcong did not dare to scream.

Su Qingxue's body stiffened in place.

She lowered her head to look at her bulging lower abdomen, her lips moving slightly.

"They..." Su Qingxue's voice trembled slightly, "They want to eat my child..."

She had seen what people on this island looked like after being driven mad.

People who were extremely hungry, people who were terrified, and people who wanted to survive were capable of doing anything.

Let alone the fact that that group of people down there already carried guns with them.

Zhou Kai's breathing grew heavy. Tufts of black hair poked out one by one on the back of his hand, and his beastly nature was being forced out.

"Brother Fan."

Zhou Kai stared at the beach, his voice lowering, "If they dare to come up, I will tear them apart."

Lin Fan did not reply.

His gaze kept looking downward.

On the beach, some of the armed personnel who had just recovered from the mutant beast attack had already raised their heads to look over here.

A man wearing a black combat uniform stepped onto a reef and raised his binoculars.

Not long after, the binoculars stopped moving.

That man lowered his binoculars and stared at the middle section of the mountain.

Then, he turned his head and said a foreign phrase to the people behind him. Lin Fan understood it; it meant that there really was a Karst Cave.

Those people in the back looked towards this side, and the barrels of several guns were already raised towards this Karst Cave.

Yang Ningcong's legs went soft, and his buttocks slammed onto the ground.

The sharpened wooden stick slipped out of his hand, "They... they know where we are..."

Yang Ningcong's teeth kept clattering without stopping.

"It is over... hundreds of people... they are all coming straight for us..."

No one paid attention to him. Lin Fan glanced over. If they charged straight ahead forcefully, Zhou Kai could hold the line for a while after transforming.

But the problem was guns. With a collective volley of assault rifles, Zhou Kai could not withstand it.

Neither could he.

If the opponent split into three routes—one suppressing the front, one climbing from the side, and one sealing the cave entrance with firepower—the few of them would be trapped and killed inside.

Lin Fan's withdrew his gaze from the beach and swept across the interior of the Karst Cave.

Xu Zhixia walked over to Su Qingxue.

She squatted down and held Su Qingxue's hands with both of hers.

"Do not move around, do not get up, and do not walk toward the cave entrance."

Xu Zhixia's voice was very steady, "The last thing you can do right now is fall, nor can you be excessively startled."

Xu Zhixia glanced at her and added another sentence, "Rest assured, with Lin Fan here, no one can touch us."

Su Qingxue's throat moved slightly. She did not refute. Looking past Xu Zhixia, she looked toward the cave entrance.

Lin Fan stood there, his back blocking the light from outside.

His build was not considered the sturdiest, but at this moment, Su Qingxue could only look at him and could only trust him.

The voice had not stopped yet, "In addition, I want to remind everyone..."

The armed personnel on the beach also quieted down again.

They were listening, and Lin Fan was also listening, "There are two special individuals inside the Karst Cave."

"One of them possesses bodily enhancements several times that of an ordinary person, with both strength and speed far exceeding normal human limits."

"The other..." The voice paused for half a second, "Is a wolf."

The corners of Zhou Kai's mouth twitched, and his eyes flashed with a yellowish-green hue.

"That wolf is three meters tall and covered in black hair. In a one-on-one fight, even if you have guns, no one is his opponent."

"It is recommended that you make full preparations before taking action."

"Of course..."

"If there are enough of you, you can also try a brute-force charge."

Then, the voice disappeared, and the entire island quieted down again.

Only the sound of waves beating against the reefs remained. On the beach, someone had already raised their gun muzzle higher.

"Brother Fan."

Zhou Kai's voice squeezed out from the side, "I am going to the Island Center for a trip."

Lin Fan tilted his head.

Zhou Kai had already semi-beastified.

Black hair emerged from the backs of his hands, his nails pushing out from his fingertips, and his yellowish-green pupils stared in the direction of the woods.

"Those sons of bitches are hiding in the back watching the show, selling out our location, and even using President Su's unborn child as bait."

Zhou Kai ground his teeth slightly, "If I rush over right now, catching one counts as one. Even if I cannot blow up the base, I will bite two of them to death."

Yang Ningcong had originally been paralyzed in the back. Hearing these words, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He wanted to curse Zhou Kai for being crazy, but did not dare to speak up. The current Zhou Kai had an attitude of biting whoever tried to stop him.

Lin Fan stared at him, "Can you find the base entrance?"

"My nose is insanely sensitive. I believe I can find it, and those beasts come out anyway; as long as I follow the scent..."

"So what if you find it? Can you withstand a stun gun?"

Zhou Kai choked.

Lin Fan continued to ask: "Can you withstand anesthetic bullets? Poison gas? Electric nets? The fact that those people could develop these half-human-half-beasts means they definitely have ways to subdue them."

"Brother Fan, I will go alone. I will not drag down..."

"You going to the Island Center right now," Xu Zhixia interrupted him, "in the worst-case scenario, you will not even be able to enter the door and will be caught back by them to be sliced up."

"Slightly better, you break in and make a commotion with them."

"Then both sides suffer losses."

"The people below, they will feel that the opportunity has come."

"With both the Island Center and the two sides of us being consumed, the weakest target is still in the Karst Cave."

"If you go to perish together, in the end, the ones who benefit will still be this group of people on the beach."

Zhou Kai fiercely slammed against the cave wall, causing gravel to fall down, and Yang Ningcong shrank his neck back.

"Then what should we do? Stand here and wait for them to come up?"

Song Ya looked toward Lin Fan, and then looked at those people on the beach.

"How about... explaining it to them." As these words came out, several people in the cave all looked at her.

Song Ya bit her lip and still took a step forward, "The Island Center is the key to obtaining abilities. That person is lying to them."

"Everyone is human."

"They were also attacked by monsters just now, and some people were taken away. They should be able to understand..."
