Chapter 408: Chapter 402: Flesh Monster

This coming and going didn’t take too much time, and when they returned, the river water rippled under the faint light, forming phosphorescence.

”Splash~”

A gigantic, entirely dark green fish leapt out of the water, splashing water more than ten meters high.

Only about one-third of its entire body emerged.

Even stranger, it had two thick, short arms, resembling some amphibious creature, yet the other parts were also covered with fish scales and sharp spines.

”Wow, that’s huge.”

The Monk couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Black Hawk felt the splash on his face and said:

”Crossing the bridge might not be a wise move. If this thing goes berserk, everyone on the bridge will be finished.”

This was the answer any normal person could think of.

Su Changxing was pondering whether there was an opportunity to shoot it down.

Although this big fish had strong life force, almost reaching Tier Seven level, that’s all it was—a massive, bloated life form, quite deformed.

Back to the villa.

Many people were drowsily falling asleep on the floor, while Wu Qingsheng sat on the balcony staring in the direction of the withered tree, lost in thought.

”That thing seems to have stopped growing, which is good news,” Wu Qingsheng said as he saw Su Changxing approaching.

Su Changxing nodded, also breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

”Mm, it’s a good thing. If it continued, we might have to enter the No-Man’s Land. I’m going to rest for a bit; keep an eye out, and call me if anything happens.”

Wu Qingsheng smiled and said, ”No problem, I’ll keep an eye on it myself.”

Su Changxing found a spot against the wall, sat down, took out the Life Card from his backpack, and fell into deep thought, considering whether to use it.

”If I use it now, at most, I’ll get some information, but it won’t be of much use. Still, it’s worth a try.”

He decided to give it a try. A portrait suddenly appeared on the white card, resembling Zhu Xin Xue.

If Zhu Xin Xue was okay, then others should be fine too.

The white card began to fade from the edges and stopped halfway.

”Does this mean critically ill? Or the progress of corpse transformation?”

Su Changxing frowned. He had sedative pills on him but couldn’t deliver them to Zhu Xin Xue.

It seemed everything was left to fate.

······

Red mist surged in the air, chaos all around.

Shouts, screams.

People scattered and fled.

No one could withstand such a monster.

Only despair and terror remained.

A ten-meter-high monstrosity of flesh, knocking down surrounding buildings, moved forward fluidly, dragging people into its body with countless tentacles formed from flesh.

The strength of these tentacles was immense. Once entangled, it was nearly impossible to break free, and one would be drained of blood in a short time.

Huge sounds echoed in the air.

”Qin Decang!”

”Qin Decang, haha, is this the result you wanted? Come meet your death.”

Qin Decang gazed at the monstrous flesh creature, surrounded by flowing fire, launching a series of flames that struck the flesh but failed to make a significant impact.

”This monster is too terrifying. Leader, take people and run. It’s getting bigger; everyone will become its nourishment if we don’t leave now.”

He turned to the still-hesitant Zhong Jueqing and shouted.

At this moment.

Zhong Jueqing’s hair was already white. After a battle in the No-Man’s Land, having released an excessively powerful superpower, his life force was entirely depleted.

The moment was critical, allowing no room for more thought.

He gritted his teeth and issued an order: ”Qin Decang, take teams three and five to hold it off. Others, retreat in an orderly manner to Assembly Point Three from the east.”

Though the creature was enormous in size, its speed wasn’t slow, and it was noticeably faster than ordinary people.

Shen Jinxuan led Zhu Xin Xue from the north, the creature’s rear, running away and getting separated from Huang Biao and others amidst the confusion.

After leaving the No-Man’s Land, they temporarily settled at the Security Bureau’s assembly point, but hadn’t expected this incident to happen.

And this creature charged right into their location, with many people immediately dragged into the flesh by tentacles, losing their life breath.

Shen Jinxuan looked back and said, ”Let’s get out first and then regroup with them.”

Zhu Xin Xue nodded, only to feel a dizziness in her head and nausea surging in her chest.

This seemed to be an omen of corpse transformation.

After running a few steps, Shen Jinxuan realized there was no sound behind her. Looking back, Zhu Xin Xue had already collapsed on the ground, motionless.

Upon closer inspection, her abdomen was full of blood, and it was unclear when she got injured.

Shen Jinxuan’s eyes were a brilliant deep blue. She walked over and made a ”gun” gesture aimed at her, paused, showed an exaggerated smile, and then bent down to carry her on her back, humming a tune, and ran outward.

Large amounts of red mist spilled from the creature and spread in the sky, resembling the red mist of the Blood Moon, or rather, it was the same thing.

······

Su Changxing was momentarily dazed, as he saw, in that instant, a colossal flesh monster knocking down buildings.

”Xu Chu’s Sweat? How did it become like this?”

He surmised that perhaps it wasn’t just here but many places worldwide were in uncontrollable states, with bizarre and terrifying monsters appearing.

This world was ushering in an apocalyptic end, being devoured by some existence.

”Brother Su, come out and have a look.”

Wu Qingsheng’s call sounded from outside.

Su Changxing immediately got up and walked outside, once again seeing the withered tree in the distant sky, but this time it was different. On the branches hung various sized fruits.

The fruits were densely packed, black, resembling dwarfs, but due to the distance, the details weren’t clear.

Wu Qingsheng was silent for a long time before saying, ”What do we do now? Should we keep moving?”

Su Changxing took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, saying with determination, ”Here should still be relatively safe. We should first figure out how to cross the river.”

Even though it was night, hundreds of people gathered in their place, all from the Security Bureau.

”Is there a way to bridge across?”

Su Changxing went down to the first floor to ask Shen Liang.

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, ”It’s possible, but it would take some time.”

Su Changxing immediately asked, ”How long do you need?”

Shen Liang discussed with someone nearby and said, ”At least one day. The middle part of the large bridge is completely cut off, about ten meters.”

Su Changxing immediately vetoed, ”That’s no good—too slow. There’s a monster underwater, and it could cause problems at any time. Do we have other options?”

Shen Liang shook his head and said, ”No, we discussed it. The other bridge is also cut off, though not as much, but we’d still have to detour quite a long distance.”

The situation seemed to be at an impasse.

Su Changxing nodded and then turned back, saying, ”Follow me and check it out. Let’s test the situation with that monster.”
