176: A group of ants

Chairman Cheng didn't wait for Su Lei to speak, immediately pulling up a blurry video.

In the video, Wang Qingtian's mechanical body was entangled by some black tendrils, and the light from the reactor in his chest was rapidly dimming.

Su Lei couldn't help but frown.

This Commander of the military district was already a Peak Grandmaster, and now he had undergone mechanical modification.

Although there was still a gap in strength compared to a legitimate Great Grandmaster, he couldn't be defeated by a few mere Yao Beasts.

Now, this important figure of the Federation was captured alive, and the forging Materials they had planned were also stolen... Su Lei's expression immediately darkened.

"What exactly happened?"

Chairman Cheng sighed softly, remaining silent.

The next moment, two distorted humanoid creatures appeared in the video footage.

They vaguely retained human outlines, but their skin had turned scaly, and their eyes glowed with the same dark red light as Demonic Beasts.

Ten giant strange birds also appeared around the transport plane.

"These five are Yao Beasts that have been corrupted and eroded by a dark Qi field; in your words, they should be called Demonic Beast Offspring."

"The identities of these two humanoid aberrants have also just been confirmed; they were two Grandmasters from the Eastern Martial Alliance Association before their transformation."

The Chairman's voice deepened, "After being corrupted, their strength has at least tripled. They all possess power no less than a mechanical Great Grandmaster..."

Su Lei frowned and asked, "Where did this incident occur?"

"At the border between the Southern Theater Command and the Central Theater Command... only about two hundred kilometers from the Eastern Frontline."

Chairman Cheng paused, explaining, "Considering this, Commander Wang volunteered to escort this batch of supplies, but unexpectedly..."

He took a deep breath and continued:

"After the incident, we immediately launched an investigation and analysis, coming up with two most probable conjectures..."

"Either this Demonic Beast in the East possesses human intelligence and is consciously collecting various mineral Materials, intending to strengthen itself through consumption."

"The second possibility is that the Three Great Families were involved..."

"How are things on your end? Have you found any useful clues?"

Su Lei looked out the window; on the glass curtain wall of a distant office building, dozens of dark figures were climbing down in a bizarre manner.

"I'm currently in Yan Yun City; there are no living people left in the entire city."

"Next, I plan to go deep into the eastern hinterland, to Donghai City for investigation. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the East Sea Dragon Cave..."

After a long silence, the Chairman's voice slowly came from the communicator,

"No, it's too dangerous..."

Su Lei pushed open the car door, a colorful rune condensing on his fingertip.

The rune transformed into a light barrier, blocking the pouncing dark figures.

Those creatures let out infant-like screams and turned to ash in the light.

"If the Three Great Families have sided with the Demonic Beast, the situation will be even more perilous."

The Chairman took a deep breath, saying with difficulty, "If that's truly the case..."

Su Lei's gaze swept around, and he said lightly,

"Although it's just a guess, this guess must be confirmed."

Fierce arguments suddenly erupted from the communicator.

Words like "President" and "nuclear strike" could vaguely be heard.

A minute later, the Chairman reappeared on the screen.

"The operation to reclaim the Northern Territory is temporarily suspended. Zhao Wuji and the others have already set off to support you."

"The spatial rift is also being prepared; if the situation becomes critical, Your Excellency the President will also arrive there immediately."

Su Lei looked towards the East.

The sky there had completely turned dark red, and huge shadows could vaguely be seen moving within the clouds.

He turned off the communicator and ordered the stunned Situ Ming, "Full speed ahead."

The jeep let out a dying roar, smashing through abandoned vehicles blocking its path.

In the rearview mirror, Yan Yun City's tallest building suddenly collapsed in the middle.

A tide of black, oppressive monsters surged forward, and the putrid stench instantly filled the entire street.

Su Lei stood in front of the jeep, feeling as if he had returned to that night in Xinghui City—

At that time, Wei Bo was still with him, distracting the monsters for him... A direwolf Yao Beast was the first to pounce, fresh blood and flesh still clinging to its fangs.

Su Lei's eyes narrowed, and with a raise of his hand, the Origin Qi of heaven and earth furiously converged, solidifying into a brilliant, seven-colored rune in his palm.

The moment the rune formed, the air within a thousand meters suddenly solidified, and even falling dust particles hung motionless in mid-air.

"Perish."

A single, understated word, yet it resonated with heaven and earth.

The seven-colored rune suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, an invisible wave swept out in a fan shape!

The wide road seemed to be crushed by millions of tons of force, collapsing and disintegrating in an instant.

Bricks, gravel, and dirt flew everywhere.

The trees on both sides of the road let out creaking sounds of unbearable strain, then turned into countless fragments in the howling gale.

The first three Demonic Beast Offspring that had pounced didn't even have time to scream before exploding into a mist of blood in the air.

The shockwave continued unabated, sweeping towards the distance with a terrifying destructive force, vanishing from sight in an instant.

Thousands of monsters in front were all reduced to dust.

Where it passed, buildings collapsed, the ground cracked, leaving a giant fissure.

The entire city seemed to be awakened by this strike.

The next moment, a rumbling sound came from underground, and the asphalt road suddenly bulged with lumps.

Countless crimson eyes lit up in the dark alleys.

The dark clouds in the sky churned violently, and countless flying creatures flapped their wings and emerged... Su Lei, however, ignored all of this, his gaze fixed on the eastern horizon.

Deep within the clouds there, a giant vertical pupil vaguely watched this direction.

Evil, indescribable.

"Since it's not here..."

Su Lei sneered, casually waving his right hand.

Ten flying monsters, swooping in from the air, suddenly exploded simultaneously, black blood raining down.

"What's the use of sending these ants?"

The ground suddenly vibrated violently, and a rhino-type creature, like a small mountain, burst out of the earth.

Riding on its back was a half-human, half-beast aberrant, vaguely recognizable as a former female Grandmaster.

The aberrant let out a piercing shriek: "Blasphemer! The True God will—"

Before she could finish, Su Lei flicked his finger.

A golden light pierced through the aberrant's forehead, its remaining force pulverizing the rhino-type's head.

The massive body crashed to the ground, crushing half a street.

More and more monsters surged from all directions, but they all strangely froze when they entered Su Lei's hundred-meter range, then silently disintegrated.

He walked slowly forward, and wherever he passed, a path paved with monster remains formed.

A minute later, Su Lei suddenly stopped and looked up in a certain direction.

There was a half-collapsed skyscraper, and on its roof stood a figure wearing a tattered Martial Alliance uniform.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

The figure in uniform slowly raised his head, revealing a face covered in black patterns.
