I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

With the emergence of an emergency,

Not only did the automatic cannons of the armored vehicle convoy all point forward, but the convoy's formation also began to change, with the armored vehicles staggered to avoid affecting the effectiveness of their firepower. The genetically engineered warriors in every armored vehicle and armored bus also tensed up.

"But... there isn't a single Source Beast appearing on the street ahead or in the surrounding buildings!"

The tense-looking deputy captain of the armored vehicle finally leaped to the front of Lei Che's armored vehicle and spoke somewhat urgently.

“There are indeed no source beasts ahead, and there are no traces or movements of source beasts in the surrounding ruins!”
But this silence was excessive, very abnormal!

Lin Hu, the captain of Vault 34 beside Reicher, quickly drew his Tier 8 SW alloy longsword and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Lei Che's eyes twitched slightly. He understood perfectly well that such an extremely quiet situation in Stone City, a ruin where one could encounter hordes of source beasts at any moment, was indeed very abnormal.

At this moment, he even wanted to give the order to retreat quickly and withdraw from this somewhat strange area! However, the only road to Vault One was the fastest, the shortest, and the one with the best road conditions. Most importantly, the armored convoy had already advanced nearly halfway and was only a dozen kilometers away from Vault One. At this point, he really didn't want to replan the route!
"All Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors of Vault 35, Group 2, listen to my command! Drive armored vehicles forward and scout ahead!"

After a moment of silence, Lei Che narrowed his eyes and gave the order in a deep voice.

Soon, three armored vehicles from the armored convoy continued forward, passing the armored vehicle carrying Rachel and the armored reconnaissance vehicle ahead, before stopping after another four or five hundred meters.

A moment later, the driver of the middle armored vehicle opened the door and shouted towards Lei Che, "Commander Lei, the life detectors on these three armored vehicles have not detected any abnormalities or fluctuations beyond those of normal life forms!"

At this moment, the driver of the armored reconnaissance vehicle parked between the two opened the door and saluted Lei Che. "Commander Lei, our life detectors have returned to normal, showing no special life forms nearby. The unusual and powerful life fluctuations that appeared earlier have completely disappeared! Perhaps the powerful source beast hiding nearby has left!"

The large life detectors on all three armored vehicles and armored reconnaissance vehicles had miraculously returned to normal.
The genetically engineered warriors in the armored convoy, who had been on edge, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

This convoy consisted of over a hundred armored vehicles capable of withstanding attacks from Tier 8 Predator Source Beasts for a period of time, and was also equipped with over two hundred automatic and heavy machine guns salvaged from the shelter. Such defensive and firepower was extremely formidable; even against a Tier 7 Tyrant-level Source Beast, it could withstand the attack for a while, and might even have a slight chance of injuring it! After all, this armored convoy's lineup included not only these defensive vehicles and machine guns, but also hundreds of gene warriors and a full ten Tier 8 Dragon Elephant gene warriors!

They formed such an armored convoy to head to Shelter One, prepared for the possibility of encountering a Tier 7 tyrannical source beast. Most importantly, they abandoned the shelter refugees who needed protection and went lightly armed, which allowed them to concentrate their firepower!

Even with such a lineup, firepower, and defense, every Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior present hoped that they wouldn't encounter any fighting during their retreat to Shelter One! After all, this was the ruins of Stone City. If a major battle broke out and couldn't be resolved quickly, it might attract more than one wave of Source Beasts! Even if their firepower could withstand a Predator-level Source Beast wave or a seventh-tier Tyrant Source Beast, it certainly couldn't withstand the continuous stream of Source Beasts arriving!

Upon hearing the reports from the crew members inside the three armored vehicles, as well as the reports from the drivers of the armored reconnaissance vehicles, the three captains, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and others, who were originally activating their source energy rapidly and ready for battle at any moment, relaxed somewhat.

Raiche sheathed his SW alloy longsword and looked at the vice-captain standing beside the armored vehicle. "Go back and continue forward with those three armored vehicles to conduct reconnaissance!"

The vice-captain, a Level 8 early-stage life form, nodded, saluted Lei Che, and prepared to turn and head towards the armored reconnaissance vehicle.

He had just finished saluting and hadn't even turned around when his expression suddenly changed. His pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the middle of the armored convoy, and he exclaimed, "What's that?"

In his line of sight, near the center of the long armored convoy, two small, round mounds suddenly rose from the ground. The street was originally made of thick, solid concrete, but as the round mounds continued to rise, the solid ground quickly cracked.

Upon seeing the deputy captain's reaction, the three commanders, including Lei Che, all changed their expressions drastically and turned to look at the center of the armored vehicle convoy.

Just at this time,

The small, round mound suddenly exploded.

Two enormous shadows, gleaming with a brown light, burst forth from the ground and lunged directly at two armored vehicles to one side!
The two enormous shadows moved with incredible speed. Before the dragon-elephant gene warriors, drivers, and machine gun operators on the two armored vehicles could react, they were directly struck by the two enormous black shadows. The alloy armor of the armored vehicles, which was said to be able to withstand the long-term attacks of the eighth-tier predator source beasts, was instantly torn apart by the two brown source beasts!

The alloy armor was torn apart, and the more than twenty Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors inside the two armored vehicles all exclaimed in surprise, wanting to raise their alloy rifles and fire at the two brown-black shells that resembled giant cicadas!
Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, before these twenty-odd dragon-elephant gene warriors could even raise their guns,
More than twenty slender proboscises shot out from the mouths of the two enormous cicada-like tyrannical source beasts, piercing directly into the bodies of the more than twenty dragon-elephant gene warriors. In an instant,
The bodies of more than twenty Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors began to tremble rapidly.
In just a third of a second, the bodies of these twenty-odd dragon-elephant gene warriors, who were originally full of energy and extremely strong, had completely withered. Not only had their bodily fluids and blood been drained by the mouthparts of the two cicada-like predator source beasts, but even their muscles and organs had been completely drained, leaving only a layer of dry human skin and bones!
"Holy crap! Fire!"

Upon suddenly seeing such a ferocious cicada-like tyrannical source beast, Lei Che felt his heart race instantly. Without thinking, he roared out.

A moment of time,
The more than one hundred armored vehicles and armored buses that had already formed a battle formation opened fire with automatic and heavy machine guns mounted on them. A large number of alloy bullets tore through the air, creating vortexes of air, and shot towards the location of the two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts like a tsunami!

That was over two hundred automatic machine guns and fifty heavy machine guns firing simultaneously, and at such close range!

If the source beasts that emerged from those two armored vehicles at this moment were merely two source beasts at the early or mid-stage of the predator level, even if they weren't torn to pieces, they would definitely be pressed down on the spot by the terrifying kinetic energy of the massive amount of SW alloy bullets. After a moment, their outer defenses would be breached, and their muscles would be torn apart by the SW alloy bullets, resulting in their complete demise!
This is, after all, the combined heavy firepower of Vault 35, Vault 34, and Vault 33!
Such terrifying firepower, even if it cannot sweep away a predator-level source beast's nest, is enough to make all source beasts below the top level of predators back down! Even the powerful giant python at the late stage of predator level that Lin Xuankong once killed, if it could not quickly escape from such firepower suppression, would eventually have its scales broken and die on the spot!
However, at this moment, the three shelter commanders, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu, who were standing on the roof of the armored vehicle, each gripped their SW alloy longswords tightly, their faces showing no sign of relaxation.

"Da da da da da da da da"

The torrent of bullets fired from over two hundred automatic cannons and fifty heavy cannons caused the two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts, roughly the size of armored vehicles, to tremble violently.
Although the large number of alloy bullets failed to break through the defenses of the two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts, they rendered the two tyrannical source beasts almost immobile for a time!

"Chirp chirp chirp"

Amidst the roar of bullets, the wings of the two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts slowly approached each other, finally touching, rubbing against each other with difficulty, and emitting a loud cicada chirping sound.

The next moment,
The wings of these two cicada-like tyrannical beasts suddenly flipped outwards and began to flap with incredible speed. At the same time, their six huge, thick legs, which were lying on the ground and gleaming with metallic light, pushed off forcefully!
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss"

The sound of air being torn apart rang out instantly. The two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts finally managed to evade the torrent of bullets and transformed into two huge brown-black shadows, crashing into more than a dozen armored vehicles and armored buses nearby!

"bang bang bang bang"

The armored vehicles and buses, with their thick armor capable of withstanding the frenzied attacks of eighth-tier predator source beasts, were directly deformed by the impact of these two tyrannical-level source beasts.

Then, under their sharp claws, they were easily torn apart like cheap toilet paper. A large number of dragon-elephant gene warriors were thrown out of the armored vehicles and armored buses. They were either directly knocked away by the huge bodies of the tyrannical source beasts or rolled on the ground, fleeing in terror.

The two tyrannical source beasts, now freed from the barrage of bullets, charged toward the other armored vehicles and buses at an even faster speed!
Just two seconds later, a full forty armored vehicles and armored buses were smashed and torn apart!
"Captain Lei, give the order! These two Tyrant Source Beasts are probably at least mid-stage seventh-tier Source Beasts, so for now, we can only execute Plan B!"

Standing beside Lei Che, Captain Lin Hu stared at the enormous, cicada-like tyrannical source beast, moving with lightning speed like black lightning, a deep look of panic on his face. He knew all too well that against such a terrifying source beast capable of withstanding the simultaneous attacks of over two hundred automatic cannons and fifty heavy machine guns, his late-stage eighth-tier strength was utterly insignificant. He would likely be torn to shreds in at least two or three rounds, his blood, muscles, and organs drained, leaving him nothing but a pile of bones!
Lei Che was clearly also in a state of panic. Upon hearing Lin Hu's voice, his body trembled, and he snapped out of his daze.
He swallowed hard, then suddenly shouted at the armored vehicle convoy in front of him, "All gene warriors, listen up! Cease resistance! Retreat in small groups in different directions!"

He only shouted that one sentence.
Reicher and the other two captains jumped into the armored vehicle.
The three of them no longer dared to pay attention to whether the other gene warriors in the armored vehicle had heard the order, and drove the armored vehicle wildly into the distance!
at the same time,

Most of the drivers of the armored vehicles and armored buses that were still intact were terrified as they floored the accelerator and drove frantically and panicked in all directions!
The entire battlefield instantly descended into chaos. There were the roars of armored vehicle engines, the loud crashes of armored vehicles hitting the ground after being rammed by the Tyrant Beast, and the screams of Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors being torn apart by the Tyrant Beast's claws. In the midst of the chaos, several armored vehicles and armored buses even collided with each other while fleeing!
This battle,

From beginning to end,

It only took a few seconds!

In just a few short seconds, a force consisting of more than two hundred automatic cannons, fifty heavy cannons, ten eighth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors, and hundreds of ninth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors was utterly routed and fled in disarray!
The drivers of the armored vehicles who were fleeing in all directions, as well as the genetically engineered warriors riding in the armored vehicles and buses, did not have the slightest courage to resist!

Not to mention those ninth-tier gene warriors, even the three eighth-tier late-stage or top-tier Dragon Elephant gene warriors, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu, could not muster any courage to continue fighting!

More than ten seconds later,
Those two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts, each the size of an armored vehicle,
It moved quite freely among the sixty or seventy overturned armored vehicles, occasionally using its slender mouthparts to pierce the bodies of the still-living Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors and suck their blood and flesh!
Three or four kilometers away from the street,
Captain Lei Che, who was urging the armored vehicle driver to speed up, looked back through the observation window of the armored vehicle with a heart full of fear. Only after seeing that the two extremely ferocious cicada-like tyrannical source beasts had stopped chasing after them did he breathe a sigh of relief and sit down heavily on the alloy floor of the armored vehicle, his body trembling slightly.

Lin Hu, the captain of Shelter No. 34, swallowed hard and said with lingering fear, "The strength of these two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts is probably comparable to that of Commander Huang! We were able to escape from their attack this time only because they didn't target our armored vehicle!" (End of Chapter)
