Chapter 1 Flood Retraction

"The flood… seems to be receding!"

Miao Yu stood on the high platform, watching the water level constantly decreasing at his feet, and frowned again.

Too many unexpected things had happened tonight, one after another.

First, the sea beasts used floods to attack the shelter, causing much of the heavy firepower Miao Yu had prepared to become ineffective, and he had to hide in high-rise buildings in a panic. Then, just when Miao Yu thought that the South City would suffer the most insane revenge from the sea beasts in the flood, the flood quietly receded. The scene of sea beasts appearing in large numbers as imagined did not happen.

"Damn it! What exactly does the Beast King attacking South City want to do?" Miao Yu couldn't figure it out, and couldn't guess the other party's intentions: "Does it want to drown us? But this water isn't enough!"

The surging flood upstream also weakened. The passage of the underground river that gushed out the flood seemed to be reopened, and the water flowed again according to its original path. South City was no longer ravaged by floods, and the tide of beasts seemed to have really receded...

"I really don't understand what these beasts are thinking!" Miao Yu tugged at his hair, feeling extremely distraught: "Can anyone help me figure it out?"

"Sir, Shelter No. 08 has been attacked by the Beast King! There were no large-scale casualties! Warhawk is patrolling the exit of the flood, preparing to intercept the Beast King, but the Beast King seems to have chosen another path to escape, and Warhawk did not find its踪迹." A communications soldier walked over and said in a deep voice: "And the injuries of the wounded are very strange..."

…

The flood receded.

On the barren land outside the city center of South City, there was a slight vibration, and the ground in the distance was wriggling violently, forming a huge earthen line that kept moving forward and protruding on the ground!

The speed of this earthen line was extremely fast, as if some creature was traveling rapidly underground, squeezing the soil and forming such a bulge on the surface.

Wherever the earthen line passed, a large number of buildings collapsed...

And directly in front of this earthen line was a… farm in the night.

Boom!

The ground suddenly bulged up, and a huge head emerged from the ground, it was the Beast King that had appeared in Shelter No. 8 earlier.

At this time, its head was covered in blood, with multiple injuries, and even the skull was broken, revealing the white brain tissue inside...

But it was still not dead, and even its body was still healing itself.

It opened its huge mouth and took a deep breath, its eyes fixed on the lonely farm in front of it.

It seemed to be fate, or as if there was a force controlling everything in the dark. In such a large deserted village, with so many routes to escape South City, the Beast King just happened to choose this one...

The Beast King's nostrils twitched slightly, and suddenly, its eyes darkened.

It smelled the scent of humans in the building in front of it, and a very irritable emotion suddenly surged in its heart.

It was the Beast King of the sea, possessing powerful strength. In the high-rise buildings near Shelter No. 8 just now, it clearly had the strength to slaughter at will, but because of "that one's" order, it had to act as a living target with its body!

Its body was severely injured!

Although the Beast King had the ability to heal itself, the pain was unavoidable. This physical torment and inner suffocation put its emotions on the verge of madness.

At this time, the human scent it smelled made it even more violent.

Having just escaped the heavy firepower pursuit of the main human force, after passing through this farm for more than ten kilometers ahead, there was a tributary of the Lingshui River, which was the route it had chosen to return to the sea!

And at this time... it no longer needed to worry about any danger happening.

Human fighters and heavy artillery had been left behind!

It wanted to vent!

In that dilapidated building in front, there was the disgusting scent of humans!

Destroy it, kill it, tear it apart!

A bloody look appeared in the eyes of this Beast King, and its body submerged into the ground again. This earthen line approached the farm at an extremely fast speed, and was about to reach the farm gate!

The bulge on the ground rose high, and in the next second, this Beast King was about to jump out of the ground!

But in an instant, the bulge on the ground collapsed suddenly!

It was as if it had been hit by some invisible, descending giant cannon. With the bulge on the ground as the center, the ground collapsed into a ten-meter-diameter pit, and the soil at the bottom of the pit was as hard as if it had been compacted by a heavy hammer, becoming extremely hard, comparable to steel.

Dust filled the air.

After the dust settled, a fair palm rose from the ground at the edge of the pit.

"You really came to my house… The soil compression increases gravity by a hundred times suddenly, that doesn't feel good, does it?"

A figure stood beside the pit, looking down at the bottom of the pit.

It was Li Tianran!

Twenty minutes ago, Li Tianran heard the sound of artillery fire from the South City shelter. He considered it for a long time, and finally decided to investigate the situation, but before he left the farm, the artillery fire from the shelter stopped. Then, after a few more minutes, the thermal radar sensed an extremely large heat source moving towards the farm!

Li Tianran didn't expect that he didn't go looking for the Beast King, but the Beast King came to him instead.

Moreover, even if this Beast King didn't attack his farm, Li Tianran was going to hunt it down.

It was a precious tonic, and absolutely could not be let go...

Li Tianran had been paying attention to the thermal radar's reaction.

In other words, Li Tianran had been waiting for it here!

Crack…

Suddenly, there was a sound of cracking from the ground.

Li Tianran saw the soil as hard as steel at the bottom of the pit cracking, and accompanied by an angry roar, a giant beast crawled out like an evil ghost!

"Weddell Seal (Evolved)

Evolution Type: Atavism

Strength: 450

Speed: 360

Intelligence..."

A series of data appeared in Li Tianran's vision, and at the same time, a series of blood-red lines were distributed on its body, marking the defects and fatal points.

"Aowu!" This Beast King kept digging at the ground with its claws, cracking the ground with extremely sinister deep marks.

There was a strong sense of dread in its eyes.

It did not expect that a human would actually have the power to match a Beast King!

It was a little apprehensive and wanted to retreat.

Because it was still shouldering "that one's" orders, but in the next second, a dark giant dog silently appeared behind it, not attacking, just staring at it indifferently.

The Beast King trembled.

Not only because of fear, but also because of anger.

Because it saw in the eyes of this human a condescending, indifferent gaze… and a greedy appetite.

It was a gaze that looked at food.

It was the gaze of a higher-level creature looking at a lower-level creature.

The Beast King, as a creature that had developed intelligence, had long regarded itself as equal to humans, or even superior to humans. At this time, it was furious!
