264: Chapter 264 Violence by Xia Bingning!

"Rumble—!!!"

If the previous tremors were just a massage for the earth, then the current commotion was akin to performing a craniotomy on the planet.

In the city center of Jiangcheng, the ruins of the once-iconic Twin Towers were collapsing and sinking like building blocks.

In their place was a black hole so enormous it was suffocating.

Immediately after.

A giant hand covered in thick "armor" suddenly gripped the edge of the hole.

What kind of armor was this?

It was clearly countless steel bars, concrete, car wrecks, and even half a building, forcibly fused onto its skin surface by some bizarre power!

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by a roar that pierced the soul, the legendary hundred-meter-class Titan King finally showed the world its complete form on this snowy, windy night.

Standing over one hundred and twenty meters tall.

Its entire body radiated a nauseating dark red halo.

It looked like a world-destroying demon god that had crawled out of hell; just standing there, its pressure was enough to make ordinary Ability Users shatter their mental foundations on the spot.

"What the f***..."

Qin Ziyan, who had just finished drinking a recovery potion and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath, watched the towering monster in the distance. The empty bottle in her hand dropped to the ground with a "clatter."

"Is... is this thing real?"

"How the hell can a carbon-based lifeform grow to this size?"

"Even if Godzilla came, he'd have to call it Big Brother, right?"

It wasn't just her.

Even the female soldiers behind her were pale-faced, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

This was the Apocalypse.

Just when you thought you were strong enough.

It would always slap you back, telling you who the real T0 version was.

...

On the walls of the Shelter.

Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching the big guy roaring at the sky.

"Finally decided to come out."

A cold sneer curled the corner of his mouth, as if he wasn't looking at a world-destroying behemoth, but a pig waiting to be slaughtered for the New Year.

"Boss, high-energy readings detected!"

Luo Qinghan walked quickly to Lin Yuan's side. On the tablet in her hand, the red energy waveform had broken through the sky.

"Its target is clear: the Star Core fragments underground."

"Based on its movement speed, it will reach the coordinates of the Star Core in at most half an hour."

"Once it devours the Star Core..."

Luo Qinghan paused, her eyes grave: "It will complete its final evolution and become a truly immortal creature."

"Half an hour?"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Time is a bit tight."

The surface was already covered in accumulated snow and ruins, and with this guy's size, taking the surface would definitely lead to being intercepted.

"Boss, I have a plan."

Luo Qinghan traced a red line on the map.

"Take the subway tunnels."

"Jiangcheng's Subway Line 3 has a backup maintenance tunnel that leads directly above the location of the Star Core."

"Also, there is a thermal insulation layer underground, and the number of monsters is relatively small. We can use our mobility to intercept it before it gets there!"

"Top-tier insight."

Lin Yuan looked at her approvingly.

As expected of a Reborn Person, she even knew about such secret routes.

"Everyone, assemble!"

Lin Yuan issued the order without the slightest hesitation.

"Target: subway tunnels, forced march!"

"Ziyan, you follow as well."

Qin Ziyan, who was just about to rest, was stunned: "Ah? Me too?"

"Don't you have the data on that monster?"

Lin Yuan glanced at her, "Perfect, tell me about it in detail on the way."

"And..."

"I'm taking you to see the world, so you don't get all flustered whenever you encounter a small scene in the future."

Qin Ziyan: "..."

What the hell do you mean, a small scene!

That's a hundred-meter-class Titan King!

You call this a small scene?

But looking at Lin Yuan's unquestionable gaze, she could only bite the bullet and follow.

Deep down, she was actually a little excited.

After all, being able to follow such a big shot to clear a dungeon was an opportunity most people couldn't even dream of!

...

Entrance to the subway tunnel.

Lin Yuan kicked open the heavy blast door.

A gust of warm air mixed with the smell of mold and blood rushed into their faces.

"Everyone, activate night vision mode."

"Maintain formation, advance quickly!"

Lin Yuan took the lead, charging into the dark tunnel.

The women followed closely behind.

The exoskeleton armor on their bodies lit up with faint blue light in the darkness, like a group of ghosts shuttling through purgatory.

The originally dead-silent underground tunnel was now exceptionally lively.

Because the surface temperature was too low, countless zombies and Mutated Beasts had hidden underground.

On the walls, on the ceiling, there were dense crowds of crawlers and mutant rats everywhere.

If an ordinary survivor squad had entered, even if they were fully armed, they would likely have been gnawed down to nothing but bone fragments within minutes.

But unfortunately.

They had encountered Lin Yuan's "Goddess Team" today.

"Sizzle—!!!"

The flamethrower in Su Yuyan's hand had been modified by Xia Muqing; it no longer sprayed ordinary flames, but "Nether Purple Fire" mixed with high-energy fuel.

Wherever the flames passed, those zombies couldn't even scream before being burned to ashes.

"Is this the power of the version?"

Qin Ziyan followed in the middle of the team, watching the bulldozer-like speed of the advance, feeling completely numb.

She had originally thought that as an A-Rank Esper, she could at least help a little.

As it turned out, her only use was... to shout "666."

These women were too fierce!

Especially Xia Muqing, who wore glasses and looked quiet and gentle.

"Wow! This structure! This muscle texture!"

"Baby, don't run! Let me see your liver!"

At this moment, Xia Muqing was holding a scalpel.

She was riding on top of a mutated Licker.

The poor Licker was pinned to the ground by her, screaming while being dissected on the spot.

"The adrenaline secretion of this mutant is ten times that of a normal zombie! How wonderful!"

Xia Muqing made hair-raising laughter while skillfully cutting slices for sampling.

"This kind of crazy scientific spirit..."

Qin Ziyan swallowed, feeling a chill run down her spine.

"Is this the legendary mad scientist?"

"This mental state is literally as unhinged as I want it to be."

"Don't mind her."

Bai Xingli beside her smiled gently and cast a Holy Light Heal on Qin Ziyan.

"Sister Muqing gets excited whenever she sees new material; you'll get used to it."

Qin Ziyan felt the warm heat flow in her body, and the fatigue from running just now was instantly swept away.

She looked at these women, each showing their own unique skills.

Instead of jealousy, a deep sense of awe rose in her heart.

Where on earth did Lin Yuan find so many monsters?

Every single one of them was a badass who could handle things on their own!

...

The team advanced at an extremely fast speed.

In just ten minutes, they had gone five kilometers underground.

"We are at the Core Zone now."

Luo Qinghan stopped and looked ahead with a grave expression.

There, it was a huge underground cavern.

It should have been a subway interchange, but now, it was covered with countless thick blood vessels and membranes.

And in the center of the cavern.

A behemoth fifty meters in size was coiled there.

It looked like an enlarged gorilla, but it had no fur on its body, instead being covered in a layer of thick bone armor.

On its back grew four huge tentacles, waving unconsciously.

Corpse King Titan!

Lin Yuan stopped and swept his gaze coldly over the monster.

"SS-Rank Peak?"

Qin Ziyan gasped.

A monster of this level.

If it were outside, it would definitely be an existence capable of destroying a medium-sized base!

"Roar?"

Seeming to sense the aura of intruders.

The Corpse King Titan slowly opened its eyes.

They were a pair of pale white pupils, containing not a shred of reason, only endless brutality.

"Boom!"

It stood up abruptly, its huge body making the entire underground space tremble.

The four tentacles whipped around like long lashes, creating a piercing sound of breaking air.

"This has reached the limit of my knowledge."

Qin Ziyan looked at the monster and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

This kind of pressure was simply not something human power could contend with!

However.

Before she could react.

A petite figure had already rushed out.

"Bingning, make it quick."

Lin Yuan instructed calmly.

"Yes, Brother Lin Yuan."

Xia Bingning's voice was as cold as ice.

The next second.

"Roar—!!!"

A dragon's roar, purer and more terrifying than the Corpse King Titan's, suddenly erupted!

Xia Bingning's body underwent a drastic change in mid-air.

Golden dragon scales instantly covered her entire body, and her originally slender arms transformed into ferocious dragon claws.

Dragonification: Half-Dragon Form!

"Bang!!!"

Two figures, one large and one small, collided violently in mid-air.

The size difference was vast.

But the result was jaw-dropping.

The fifty-meter-tall Corpse King Titan was actually sent flying like a primary school student hit by a truck!

It smashed heavily into the wall, unable to even be pried off.

"This..."

Qin Ziyan's jaw completely dislocated.

"This is unscientific!"

"This is a fifty-meter-class monster!"

"Sent flying by a 1.7-meter girl?"

"How high must her strength attribute be? Two thousand? Three thousand?"

"Doubt Xia Bingning, understand Xia Bingning, become Xia Bingning..."

Qin Ziyan felt her worldview being reconstructed.

In this team.

There really wasn't a single normal person!

"Roar!"

The Corpse King Titan was enraged.

It roared as it tore itself off the wall, and the four tentacles on its back grew crazily, turning into countless sharp bone spikes, shooting towards Xia Bingning like a downpour.

"Cheap tricks."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly.

He didn't even have the intention to make a move.

He just set his mind to it.

An invisible lightning domain instantly unfolded.

"Sizzle—"

Those bone spikes, which could have pierced steel plates, were directly vaporized by the lightning drifting in the air the moment they entered within a hundred meters of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan glanced at the time.

"That big guy is arriving soon."

"Send it on its way."

"Understood!"

Golden light flared in Xia Bingning's eyes.

She took a deep breath, and the dragon blood in her body boiled to the extreme.

She transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, instantly appearing on top of the Corpse King Titan's head.

Then.

A punch!

This punch had no frills.

All it had was power and speed pushed to the absolute extreme.

"Bang—!!!"

A dull explosion.

The Corpse King Titan's incredibly hard skull shattered instantly, like a watermelon squeezed by a hydraulic press!

In the rain of blood filling the sky.

Xia Bingning landed steadily and shook the blood off her hands.

Her expression was indifferent, as if she had just swatted a fly.

"Done."

Qin Ziyan: "..."

She glanced at the rifle in her hand, then at the headless corpse on the ground.

She suddenly felt.

The fire poker in her hand was indeed a bit redundant.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan didn't even look at the corpse and stepped directly over the pieces of meat on the ground.
