Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Collapse

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Ye Tiancheng curled his lip disdainfully: “It sounds nice, telling us to save ourselves, but aren’t you afraid of dying too? You just want to make more money, hypocrite!”
Lin Zhen turned to Ye Tiancheng: “You seem to have a problem with me?”
“What if I have a problem? I just can’t stand your hypocritical face!”
“In that case, let’s not work together anymore. Let’s go our own ways.”
“Fine! That’s what you, Lin Zhen, said. Anyway, with Old Zhao and Old Gao leaving, our operations are now individual. I want to go with the captain, so you do what you want.” Ye Tiancheng was very confident. As long as Zhao Liang and Gao Yan were not around, Shi Lei would definitely side with him, not believing that Lin Zhen, a mere Level Eight Fighter, would dare to act alone.
Shi Lei did not say anything else. In his heart, he still leaned toward supporting Ye Tiancheng. Although Lin Zhen seemed to have more potential, he made Shi Lei feel threatened.
Zhao Liang and Gao Yan both supported Lin Zhen. If this continued, his position as captain would be a mere title. He had to show Lin Zhen who was in charge of this team.
Lin Zhen turned to Zhao Liang and said: “Brother Zhao, let’s go now, as fast as we can.”
Zhao Liang nodded, “I understand; take care. Old Gao, let’s go.”
It seemed that Gao Yan had also noticed something. He was the type of person who had no great ambitions. Being able to earn this much already satisfied him. These monsters seemed to truly be on pilgrimage, and once the pilgrimage ended, they wouldn’t be able to leave even if they wanted to.
Without any waste of words, the two got into the armored vehicle and left.
As soon as Zhao Liang and Gao Yan left, Lin Zhen looked at Shi Lei: “Captain, take care.”
After saying that, Lin Zhen left the stadium area without stopping and headed towards the residential area in the distance. He needed to find a place to hide first.
Lin Zhen was a Spiritual Mind Master. He could vaguely sense the restlessness of these monsters. Various signs indicated that the mutation in the stadium was about to end, and an A-level monster was about to appear.
Running all the way, there was a broken small building in a field of ruins. Lin Zhen headed straight for the rooftop. It was not only hidden well here but also had a view of the stadium area.
The stadium entrance was bustling with activity. Although these monsters were on pilgrimage and wouldn’t attack on their own, they were still C-level monsters, and their retaliation when attacked was sharp. The Martial Artists, especially, didn’t have much restraint in attacking monsters anymore and often lured too many. Casualties began to emerge among the teams of Martial Artists.
“Clang clang clang… Aaah!”
The burly man who had sneak attacked Lin Zhen and carried a Metal Storm was torn in half after firing a burst of flames and being grabbed by two giant apes over two meters tall.
However, these casualties were not enough to make the Martial Artists retreat.
The two apes were immediately killed by the Martial Artists behind them. Kong Shan, the Demon God, held a rocket launcher and fired a shot at the center of the entrance to the stadium.
There were not many monsters left at the entrance. He thought he would be lucky to attract a few wild boars with this shot, but he didn’t expect to cause trouble.
A loud roar came from the stadium, the sound was magnificent and resounded through the sky. The few broken glass shards remaining on the windows surrounding the stadium had all turned into shards under the impact of this roar and surged out.
“What’s that?” The Martial Artists were puzzled.
With this roar, all the surrounding monster herds started roaring too.
Boom!
A burst of footsteps erupted from the stadium, and the door was knocked off with a bang. Leading the charge were a group of Triceratops Barbarian Bulls!
The triangular barbarian bulls were mutated from the original buffalo and were much larger than the ordinary cattle, with a third horn growing on their foreheads. Their bodies were like rhinoceroses, and their blood-red eyes proved their reckless nature and ferocity.
The leading triangular barbarian bull was a B-level monster, comparable to a general elephant. As it galloped with its hooves spread out, a martial artist who couldn’t dodge in time was directly hit and his whole body’s bones shattered to death. His corpse hung on one of the sharp horns, like a broken doll.
Following the triangular barbarian bulls were a group of demonic wolves.
The demonic wolves now stood over one-and-a-half meters tall, with sharp fangs more than three inches long. They pounced in all directions, instantly tearing three or four martial artists to pieces.
Kong Shan, who had fired the gun, saw the trouble he had caused and turned to run, but was stopped by a black shadow in midair.
It was a mutated black gorilla, resembling the protagonist in a movie called King Kong from the Common Era. Its huge fist easily gripped Kong Shan, who managed to fire a shot, but only left a small wound on the black gorilla. He was then squeezed into a ball of blood plasma.
Afterward, several gray falcons, comparable to fighter jets, flew out, followed by a twenty-meter-long, tank-like python, a pangolin covered in armored scales, and even a few spotted leopards more powerful than saber-toothed tigers.
When these creatures appeared, they immediately caused huge casualties among the martial artists; in an instant, a third of the forty members were killed, and the remaining survivors began to flee desperately without looking back.
In the end, several huge human bears appeared at the entrance of the stadium.
Each human bear stood over five meters tall, and the earth trembled as they walked. Their thick skin and layers of fat made them impervious to sniper bullets. They took huge strides, chasing and killing the martial artists.
The last human bear was the martial artists’ target — a monster almost seven meters tall with a giant club level. As a martial artist team fled into an armored car, the giant palm bear caught up in three steps, and with a swipe of its hand, crushed the armored car into a nearly flat iron cake.
Blood flowed out of the car’s cracks, and this martial artist team was completely annihilated.
The giant palm bear roared to the sky, and Yi Lan County suddenly became noisy.
At this moment, almost all the mutated beasts howled to the sky, responding to the birth of the A-level mutated beast.
The mutated beasts were also ranked, and although those below B-level couldn’t rule over others unless they were part of a group, the appearance of an A-level beast caused all mutated beasts to abandon their tribal restrictions and automatically gather under the A-level’s command, becoming its loyal subordinates. This was the reason why monsters attacked cities.
The higher the level of the mutated beast, the higher its intelligence. No matter how much they mutated, they could never reach the mental acumen of humans, but they understood how to unite, knew basic battle tactics, and how to besiege human bases, intent on wiping humans completely off the face of the Earth.
The previously calm county town now buzzed with unrest as countless mutated beasts appeared.
A multitude of mutated birds flew in from who knows where in the sky above, manhole covers were pushed open, and countless rats crawled out, densely covering the streets.
Huge raccoon dogs leaped among the trees, terrifying four-legged snakes crawled among the ruins, and various mutated creatures left their habitats, heading towards the stadium.
Just a moment ago, the martial artists were still full of energy, but now they faced a catastrophe. More than half of the forty-people team had been lost, with the remaining fleeing along the highway.
But with numerous mutated beasts chasing from behind and occasional new mutated beasts appearing in front, these people would never escape without external assistance.
Lin Zhen watched the situation from a distance with a telescope, murmuring to himself.
“Soon, they should appear soon. If I remember correctly, a War God should arrive this time, and it should be about time,” he mumbled.
Just when the fleeing crowd seemed almost desperate, two people appeared on top of a high-rise building beside the road..
