Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 597: Chapter 596: The Monster That Wants to Eat People

Alice walked out of Hei Bama’s office and stood dazed for a while before she regained her composure, then said to herself with determination, ”Ye Tianchen, I don’t understand my own feelings right now, and I can’t forget the happy days I spent in the Ye family, but first and foremost, I am a soldier of my country, the head of the intelligence special agents. For my nation, for our national honor and interests, I can only lead the Iron Armor Army to kill you all. Don’t blame me!”

After she finished speaking, Alice left. She was heading for the most secret military base, carrying Hei Bama’s orders to command and take away thirty Iron Armor soldiers—undoubtedly a very powerful and invincible force, which had now become Alice’s tool to command and kill Ye Tianchen and others.

At this time, in Military Base No. 12, with the presence of two great experts, Ye Tianchen and Li San, the sweep through the base was even faster than Ye Tianchen alone had been at Military Base No. 11. One was a powerful Superpower User, and the other was a master from an Ancient Martial Sect, with the Monument Pushing Hand being incredibly formidable. With these two men taking action, modern sophisticated weapons were of no use at all.

Soon, Ye Tianchen and Li San made it to the middle of the dam at Military Base No. 12. Li San had mostly taken the lead along the way, as Ye Tianchen had barely needed to act, since Li San hadn’t engaged in such unrestrained combat for a long time and needed to get back the feel for battle. Ye Tianchen, therefore, couldn’t be bothered to make a move. Instead, he used his strong Superpower Perception to search for the whereabouts of Balock. Strangely enough, despite his powerful Superpower Perception, whether it was the buildings on the surface or even the hidden basements underground, there was no trace of Balock to be found. It was quite odd; had he already received the news and fled? It was possible, especially since Military Base No. 11 had been destroyed by Ye Tianchen, a fact that should have spread quickly.

”Big brother, it looks like we won’t be able to kill the person in charge of Military Base No. 12 today. The surroundings are full of American soldiers without much strength,” Li San said, a bit frustrated.

”Don’t worry, according to the information Liu Rumei gave me, the person in charge of Military Base No. 12, Balock, is a very sly and cunning character. Of the three major military bases in New York, his base is the most devoted to research on viral monsters, and they have made the greatest progress. The reason I chose for you and me to destroy Military Base No. 12 is because I feared we might encounter the kind of viral monsters no one has ever fought before. Wang Jie and the others wouldn’t be able to handle them,” Ye Tianchen said, looking around.

”Viral monsters? Like those cruel, inhumane experiments in Japan?” Li San asked, taken aback.

”I’m afraid the technology of this country is even more formidable and advanced than Japan’s. According to the information, the United States had already achieved results in viral monster research during World War II, but they never had a chance to use them. I believe that if a Third World War were to break out, the United States would certainly deploy such viral monsters, and other countries would suffer greatly. It seems this is why the United States has been able to dominate the world, as they are always at the forefront of everything,” Ye Tianchen said with a solemn expression.

”In that case, we must completely destroy Military Base No. 12 and put an end to all their viral monster research, otherwise, it will pose a greater danger in the future,” Li San said, clenching his fists tightly.

Ye Tianchen suddenly felt something was off about his surroundings. Everything became incredibly sensitive, as though he could easily sense everything around him.

As Li San was moving forward, Ye Tianchen suddenly thought of something and, looking at the ground, shouted loudly, ”Brother Li San, get back quickly...”

Boom!

There was a loud explosion. Just as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, right beneath where Li San stood, the ground erupted like a bomb had gone off. The ground was flung up, and Li San himself was blasted backward by the powerful force, tumbling several times in the air before stabilizing and landing looking dumbfounded at what was in front of him.

In front of Ye Tianchen and Li San, the once clear sky seemed to darken. A huge hole had appeared in the ground, and standing before them was not a person but a monster covered in pustules, several dozen meters tall, with exceptionally long arms and legs, and hands and feet resembling a toad’s. Its fist-sized green eyes stared at Ye Tianchen and Li San, exuding an intimidating presence.

”I’m hungry, I want to eat, I need to eat humans...” the Frog Monster croaked with a sound similar to a toad’s call, yet it could clearly articulate human language. Its body was covered in a yellow, sticky substance, which was so nauseating it could make one want to vomit.

”What kind of monster is this? It’s disgusting,” Li San couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

”Be careful, its entire body is coated in poison, probably even more lethal than the poison on Black Widow’s whip. Don’t attack it up close. Use a powerful skill from a distance to finish it off,” Ye Tianchen advised with a frown. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a monster and had no previous experience fighting viral monsters. This creature gave him an unfathomable feeling, and he had to be cautious.

”I’m hungry, so hungry, I want to eat humans...” The Frog Monster glanced at Ye Tianchen and Li San, then marched straight toward them, seeing them as food.

Beep!

This was the sound of a button being pressed, akin to the noise from a remote control. Above the Frog Monster’s head, two antennae resembling those of a wireless receiver blinked red. Both Ye Tianchen and Li San found it odd, feeling as though someone was controlling the creature.

At that moment, Balock emerged from behind the Frog Monster, remote control in hand, providing a stark contrast. He was only as tall as the Frog Monster’s knees. If the Frog Monster were to stomp down, Balock would definitely be crushed into a pulp.

”Welcome, Eastern Demon, to my Military Base No. 12. To honor your visit, I’ve specially prepared this gift for you. I hope you like it,” Balock said confidently, smiling at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen and Li San glanced at Balock, itching to rush over and kill him. Eliminating Balock would mean the end for Military Base No. 12. However, with the Frog Monster standing right behind Balock, and the monster’s abilities and combat strength unknown, any rash move might put them at a disadvantage. Thus, both observed the situation and refrained from acting recklessly.

”What’s wrong? Don’t you like it? This Frog Monster is the result of my decades of research, and it’s quite exceptional. Its body has been injected with toad genes, lizard genes, and of course, the genes of the golden-eyed cobra, combined with human DNA—that makes it a hybrid of four different genetic sources. Initially, there were ten thousand subjects, but only it survived in the end, successfully merging the four sets of genes and becoming what it is today. Its abilities are extremely powerful—it has human intelligence, the limbs of a toad, the tongue of a lizard, and the deadly venom of the golden-eyed cobra. It’s perfection, my greatest masterpiece!” Balock declared excitedly, his laugh grim as he looked at Ye Tianchen and Li San.

”You Americans are truly cruel. To carry out these experiments, you’ve sacrificed countless innocent lives, not even sparing your own people. Is this the price you pay for world domination?” Li San roared, his body trembling with rage.

”Price? What price? Killing you two and letting me, Balock, rest easy is the best price. Frog Monster, attack! Kill these two Chinese. You can eat them alive,” commanded Balock, pressing the button on his remote and yelling loudly.

Whoosh!

The Frog Monster, upon receiving Balock’s order, leaped forward like an actual toad, its powerful legs launching it toward Ye Tianchen and Li San, feet coming down hard.

Bang!

Both Ye Tianchen and Li San were swift and dodged quickly, which surprised Balock. He hadn’t expected that the Frog Monster’s attack would fail to kill the Eastern Demon with a single blow. It seemed Ye Tianchen was quite strong. Hurriedly, he moved back, fearful of getting hurt in the ferocious skirmish.

”Monument Pushing Hand—Sky-shattering!”

Li San let out a low shout, his palms emitting high-velocity spinning Qi Force like incredibly fierce blades, striking at the Frog Monster. It didn’t evade or dodge, allowing the powerful spiraling force to hit. Immediately, pus-filled bumps on its chest were sliced open, and streams of yellow liquid sprayed out. Li San, being closest, had no time to avoid it. Yet, he sensed that this yellow substance spelled certain death upon contact.

In the nick of time, when Li San thought he was done for, a golden wall materialized before him, blocking the two jets of poisonous liquid. Seizing the opportunity, Li San quickly retreated, daring not to get close to the Frog Monster again.

”Big brother, your Superpower Skill can block this Frog Monster,” Li San said.

”It’s useless, this creature is truly formidable. Remember not to engage it closely in battle again, it’s too dangerous!” Ye Tianchen warned gravely. (To be continued.
