60: Crushing! The slaughter of the new humans!

"Kill!"

Chen Hu gave a thunderous shout, his entire body charging forward like a heavy truck at high speed.

He slammed violently into the black sea of mutated sand scorpions!

Supported by the immense strength granted by the t-virus enhancement, the high-frequency battle blade in his hand transformed into streaks of silver lightning.

Puchi! Puchi!

The scorpions' hard black carapaces were as fragile as paper before the blade that could cut through iron like butter.

Every swing of the blade was accompanied by a tooth-aching cutting sound and the splashing of blackish-green fluid.

A sand scorpion that tried to ambush Chen Hu with its tail stinger was cleaved clean in half—tail and half its body included—by a backhand strike!

Another sand scorpion pouncing from the front was kicked over ten meters away by him.

It tumbled through the air before slamming heavily onto the sand, its shell shattering, dying on the spot!

"Refreshing! This is so refreshing!"

Chen Hu laughed excitedly as he hacked away.

He felt as if the power within his body was inexhaustible.

Before, although he was a physical education teacher and physically strong...

He had to rely mostly on technique and courage when facing such monsters.

But now, he was experiencing the pure pleasure of overwhelming, crushing power!

He was no longer that ordinary person struggling to survive among hordes of zombies.

He was a superman!

"This guy... is a real battle maniac."

From a high vantage point in the distance, Zhao Zihan watched Chen Hu slaughtering everyone in the scorpion swarm and couldn't help but mutter softly.

She had already drawn her wind walker compound bow, an explosive arrow notched on the string, as she calmly searched for the most valuable targets.

After the t-virus enhancement, her vision had also received a terrifying boost, reaching a level comparable to a top-tier sniper scope.

She could clearly see that at the rear of the swarm, several sand scorpions—significantly larger and darker than the ordinary ones—were directing the attack.

"Commander units detected."

She reported calmly through the team channel.

"I'll leave them to you," Wang Yi's voice came through.

"Copy that."

Zhao Zihan took a deep breath, her bright eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp.

Release!

Whir—

The explosive arrow, wrapped in red energy, let out a piercing scream as it flew off the string!

The arrow traced a perfect parabola in the air, accurately crossing several hundred meters to nail itself firmly into the head of a commander sand scorpion!

Boom!

The violent explosion instantly blew that commander sand scorpion, along with several ordinary ones around it, into flying fragments!

[Global Announcement: Dragon Country player Zhao Zihan has completed the global first kill in dungeon No. 2, 'Crimson Pyramid'! Individual Points +10! Dragon Country national fortune points +100!]

The cold mechanical voice once again rang out across the entire world!

The Dragon Country Operations Center instantly erupted in thunderous applause and cheers!

"Good! Excellent! A great start!"

Li Guodong slapped his thigh in excitement. "It's us again! Once again, our Dragon Country got the first kill!"

"This Zhao Zihan is truly a natural-born sniper!" A satisfied smile also appeared on Lin Zhan's face.

Looking at the screen at the young girl who was calmly notching another arrow, Su Yuan was also filled with admiration.

Every member of the Dragon Team was growing and transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And this was only the beginning... Meanwhile, live broadcast rooms across the globe completely boiled over.

"Dragon Country again?! They got the first kill again?!"

"What the hell! How long has it been since the dungeon started? Not even ten minutes!"

"I just finished watching the recording of the Dragon Country player blowing up a sandstorm with one punch, and I'm still dazed. How are they already killing monsters again?"

"What's with that lightning? And what's with that archer? Did the Dragon Country players all activate cheats together?!"

Lighthouse Country Command Center.

The newly appointed Blonde Director's face was so dark it looked like it could drip ink.

The screen in front of him was playing footage of the Lighthouse Country players.

Ten newly added rookie players, plus ten veterans who had narrowly survived the first dungeon.

At this moment, they were hiding behind a sand dune, looking utterly pathetic.

Just moments ago, they had also encountered a small-scale attack by sand scorpions.

Although there were only a few dozen, it had left them in a frantic mess. One newcomer even...

Due to panic, he was accidentally stung by a tail stinger, falling to the ground poisoned on the spot, foaming at the mouth, clearly not going to make it.

There is no harm without comparison.

Looking again at the neighboring Dragon Country broadcast, at the tough guy carving through monsters with a battle blade and the girl with god-like archery skills...

The Blonde Director felt a tightness in his chest.

"Report! Another announcement from the Dragon Country side!" An intelligence officer's voice rang out, trembling with fear.

[Global Announcement: Dragon Country player Chen Hu has achieved the 'ten kill' achievement! Individual Points +100! Dragon Country national fortune points +100!]

[Global Announcement: Dragon Country player...]

One announcement after another began to frantically flood screens all over the world!

The other members of the Dragon Country team also joined the fray!

Some held fire axes, while others held crowbars.

Though not as sharp as Chen Hu's high-frequency battle blade, under the support of their terrifying strength, these ordinary tools became horrific killing machines!

Firefighter Liu Meng could cleave a sand scorpion in half from head to tail with a single axe swing!

Architectural Engineer Zhang Wei even swung a spare oxygen tank like a baseball bat, smashing scorpions until their shells burst and fluid flew everywhere!

The scene was, for a time, extremely bloody.

This was no longer a battle.

It was a one-sided, cruel massacre!

In less than five minutes.

Thousands of mutated sand scorpions were slaughtered to the last by the twenty members of the Dragon Team!

Severed limbs and broken bodies littered the ground, staining the golden desert a bizarre blackish-green.

The Dragon Country's national fortune points also skyrocketed by nearly two thousand points in these short five minutes!

"Phew... they really couldn't take a hit."

Chen Hu stabbed his battle blade into the ground and spoke with a lingering sense of excitement as he looked at the field of scorpion corpses.

He was covered in blackish-green fluid and looked a bit disheveled, but his eyes were exceptionally excited.

This battle had given him the most direct understanding of his current power.

"Clean up the battlefield and collect useful materials," Wang Yi's voice pulled everyone back from the excitement of battle. "Wu Qiong, you and Zhang Wei are on lookout. Everyone else, move fast!"

Even though they were only F-rank monsters, their tail stingers and carapaces might be usable as materials to exchange for points in the mall.

Every little bit counts.

Just as everyone began cleaning up the battlefield...

An anomaly occurred once more!

Rumble—

The entire desert suddenly began to shake violently, as if a magnitude ten earthquake had struck!

No one could stand steady; they all stumbled and swayed.

"What's going on?! Again?"

Chen Hu had just picked up a scorpion stinger when he was shaken so hard he fell onto his backside.

"It's not a sandstorm!" Wang Yi stared fixedly toward the distant black pyramid, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before. "The vibrations are coming from that direction!"

Everyone followed his gaze.

On the distant horizon...

The mountain-like black pyramid's apex actually began to glow with a piercing, blood-red light!

The light was like the eye of an awakening demon, locking onto them from afar!

At the same time, a blood-red warning box popped up on Su Yuan's system panel once again.

[Highest Warning! The Pharaoh King has been awakened! The Undead Army is about to descend!]
