Chapter 443: Thousand-Eye Zombie

Inside the Wangjiang Military Region, the Awakened Ones who had just been preparing to sit down and "study" looked with shocked gazes at the colossal figure that suddenly appeared on the screen.

It was a giant zombie covered head to toe in pus-filled eyeballs, its massive body almost filling the entire screen.

An armored vehicle not far away looked tiny as a toy beneath its feet.

The ground shook, and it roared.

"Boom!!!"

The giant Thousand-Eye Zombie, about thirty meters tall, instantly crushed the alloy ground beneath its right foot and lunged at Lin An like a small hill.

The audience watching the broadcast felt a jolt of fear, the atmosphere grew heavy.

"What kind of monster is this!!"

Before one wave could settle, another arose.

Wang Mengteng sprang up from his seat, his eyes wide open.

It wasn't that he was easily frightened; the monster on the screen was simply too terrifying.

He had seen many mutants before.

But a monster over thirty meters tall, like a mountain, was something he had never seen before.

It felt different from the descriptions.

Ordinary people, upon seeing a mutant three or four meters high, would feel a sense of helplessness.

What more for a monster of this size?

Even heavy artillery bombardment would probably only scrape its hide.

Every movement made the ground tremble, shockingly so.

Even as spectators, they could feel the oppressive pressure the monster exuded.

Inside the meeting room, the Awakened Ones were in panic, nervously watching Lin An hastily dodge the monster's charge.

Regardless of their attitude toward Lin An,

When humanity sees a terrifying monster, the first instinct is intense shock and worry.

"What a disgusting... monster!"

Second Level Awakened One Huang Yan, his face ashen, stared at the monster on the screen and felt a strange panic rise in his heart.

The monster's body was covered in eyeballs, each the size of a fist.

Whenever Lin An swiftly dodged the monster's attack, those pairs of pale, vengeful eyes would swivel, as if locking onto their target.

Like a psychic interference.

Each time Lin An tried to create distance, those locked giant eyes would emit an invisible wave, briefly freezing his form.

Flesh rotted, copious pus like sticky natto streamed down the mutant's body, causing the alloy-forged ground to sizzle as it burned.

The pus is corrosive!

Moreover, the monster's massive body is not clumsy.

As if it had combined all mutant abilities, the thousand-eye monster on its head, resembling a drill, frenziedly circled Lin An in a charge.

The broadcast could barely keep up with the movements of the person and the monster, only managing to make out the trajectory.

At high speed and pressure, even the air was torn apart by the violent rush.

"How do we fight a monster like this!!"

Everyone's hearts were filled with dread.

They watched helplessly as the monster stomped and exploded an armored vehicle, then, like throwing a cannonball, hurled the flattened vehicle at high speed.

Barely dodged.

The armored vehicle, like a cannonball, grazed Lin An's body and smashed into the city wall.

The blast of air pressure struck Lin An like a heavy air hammer.

With a violent explosion, even the dark-crystal city wall, whose defense far exceeded that of armor, collapsed in a section upon impact.

Lickers' throws, Rushers' drills, Wailing Banshees' acid, Rotting Giants' spit, and tank defense.

The mountain-like monster combined the abilities of all the dead mutants.

As if it were breaking in its body.

However, in just ten seconds, the monster's attack speed grew ever faster.

In the broadcast, with his spiritual energy exhausted, Lin An could only repeatedly make hasty turns, desperately evading the monster's attacks.

Giant versus ant; the high-speed Lin An was as tiny as an ant beside the monster's foot.

His breathing was ragged.

Gao Yan watched anxiously as Lin An fled, her eyes full of disbelief.

Why!!

Why would there still be mutants in the corpse tide!!

How exactly did this monster appear?

Clearly the dawn of victory was right before their eyes, and Lin An had already exterminated so many mutants.

At this very moment.

Not only him, from Long An members to Wangjiang Military Region Awakened Ones, everyone's hearts were filled with disbelief.

Just moments ago, they were still discussing whether, after Lin An completed his mission, they should proactively reach out to Long'an Base to talk about cooperation.

After all, the mutants were all dead, and Lin An was that strong.

Completing the mission could be said to be a sure thing.

But the sudden change left them dazed for half a day.

Its power was terrifying, its speed extremely fast, and it seemed to possess special abilities as well.

Watching Lin An constantly fleeing, everyone broke into a cold sweat.

"How can it be this hard.."

"How can the mission be this hard？！"

In disbelief.

Wang Meng couldn't help muttering to himself, a chill rose from behind to his forehead.

Originally, defending Long'an Base was already tough enough—several times harder than the missions he'd heard about from other safe zones.

But now the newly appeared monster has raised the difficulty to a despair-inducing level.

"Can you assess the monster's level！？"

Wang Meng spoke extremely fast, asking the staff officer beside him.

The meeting room had been specially equipped with many analysis machines, originally intended for gathering intelligence.

Several elite Awakened Ones skilled at commanding combat quickly exchanged glances.

"Speed: 270 meters per second!"

"Size 35 by 7, estimated weight around 45,000 to 60,000 tons!"

"Maximum strength... cannot be estimated."

Data after data was reported quickly, followed by a comparison of Lin An's various stats with the monster.

In an instant, Wang Meng and all the Awakened Ones felt their hearts sink immensely.

It wasn't that they cared so much about Lin An's life or death.

But the appearance of such a monster near Linjiang undoubtedly poses a huge threat to the entire Wangjiang three provinces.

"three Fourth Rank！？ Is the monster three Fourth Rank！？"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Wang Meng nervously asked Huang Yan.

"No, it probably isn't."

Huang Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling somewhat dazed.

"According to intelligence shared by other military regions, the signature ability of a three Fourth Rank mutant is short-term flight or a mental shockwave."

"The monster lacks this ability, but judging purely by physical strength, its power likely approaches infinitely close to three Fourth Rank."

Lacking data on three Fourth Rank, the Wangjiang Military Region could only keep speculating.

At this stage, no one has heard of any force having fought a three Fourth Rank mutant; there are only some sightings rumored to be of a three Fourth Rank.

The only relatively top-secret piece of news is that a military region, for unknown reasons, encountered an attack by a three Fourth Rank mutant and ultimately launched a suicidal strike using a tactical nuclear bomb.

As for whether the attacking mutant lived or died, that remains unknown.

His heartbeat skipped.

Gao Yan watched wide-eyed as Lin An, for some reason, failed to dodge a blast.

After being grazed by the monster's giant fist on one side of his body, his figure slammed into the ground like a cannonball.

Faintly, she could even see Lin An spitting fresh blood from his mouth.

Lin An, he's injured!
