37: Chapter 37 Skillful Use of Hand Grenades

Grenades were their last trump card; how could they be handed over to an ordinary person of unknown origin?

"No way! You are just an ordinary person, you don't deserve..." An Armed Police officer had just begun to retort when he was completely stunned by Chen Ye's next move.

A flash of cold light gleamed in Chen Ye's eyes; no longer hiding his strength, he directly activated his shared Domination Ability!

Brilliant purple-red light erupted from his palm.

It was identical to the aura of Liu Lingwei's Superpower, instantly locking onto the two Tier 1 Mutated Beasts charging in from the stairwell!

The next second, the two berserk Mutated Beasts instantly froze, their eyes covered in purple-red.

They lowered their heads submissively, obeyed Chen Ye's command, and turned to ferociously slaughter the group of Mutated Beasts behind them!

A single move of domination, shocking everyone present!

The Armed Police widened their eyes in disbelief, their guns nearly slipping from their hands.

Liu Lingwei's body trembled; her cold, beautiful eyes widened, and her delicate chin dropped slightly, filled with shock.

She never dreamed that this man could actually control Mutated Beasts!

[Ding! Displayed Domination Ability, shocked Liu Lingwei]

"I knew you weren't an ordinary person! You hid it so well!" Zhang Lei's chubby face was filled with shock, and he no longer dared to underestimate Chen Ye.

Chen Ye thought to himself: In the apocalypse, strength is the only right to speak, and now, he could no longer hide it.

"Don't just stand there! Give all the grenades to him!" Liu Lingwei ordered without hesitation, her tone filled with conviction.

The Armed Police hesitated no longer and pulled grenades from their tactical backpacks one after another.

In just a few seconds, six high-explosive grenades were placed into Chen Ye's hands.

Holding the cold grenades in his palm, Chen Ye instantly felt a bit more confident.

"Let's go! To the roof!"

Chen Ye took the lead, controlling the two Mutated Beasts to clear the path, his military knife swinging to slaughter the low-level Mutated Beasts blocking their way. Liu Lingwei followed closely behind, commanding the Armed Police to provide cover.

Zhang Lei unwillingly activated his Slow Field, slowing down the movements of the Mutated Beasts within a two-meter radius and clearing obstacles for everyone.

The higher they climbed, the thicker the black substance became.

It smeared stickily over the walls, stairs, and ceiling, and the stench in the air grew heavier.

Every room was piled with black cocoons, and the women inside groaned in pain, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.

Chen Ye was even more certain that his judgment was absolutely correct; only by destroying the Mother Nest could everyone be saved.

Rushing to the entrance of the top floor, Chen Ye gripped his military knife and kicked the iron door to the roof with all his might!

"Bang!"

The iron door swung open at the sound, and the scene on the roof instantly came into view.

Everyone gasped in cold air, completely dumbfounded!

The floor of the roof had long since disappeared, replaced by a massive black meat mass.

It writhed like rotting internal organs, its surface covered in dense, tiny white maggots.

The maggots bared their fangs and gnawed incessantly at the black meat mass, disgusting to the extreme.

At the top of the meat mass grew a deformed little head, with two massive, pitch-black horns rising toward the sky, continuously emitting gray energy waves into the air.

"This is the source of the barrier covering the entire Residential Community!" Chen Ye thought to himself.

"Fire! Quickly, kill this monster!"

An Armed Police officer reacted, immediately raised his gun, and fired, while the other Armed Police officers also pulled their triggers!

"Bang, bang, bang!" Bullets rained like a storm toward the black Mother Nest.

But just as the bullets were about to hit, an invisible energy shield suddenly appeared.

All the bullets were deflected, landing on the ground with a crisp sound, not even leaving a trace!

Just then, a sharp shriek came from the sky.

A dozen Purple-Beaked Poison Beasts flapped their wings and dove down!

From the edges of the roof and the crevices in the walls, countless different Mutated Beasts climbed up frantically, surrounding everyone in a dense swarm; there was simply no killing them all!

Shadow Claw Beasts swung their sharp hooked claws, Rodent Beasts bared their fangs and gnawed wildly, and Purple-Beaked Poison Beasts dove low to peck; their hideous faces were right before their eyes!

Bullets rained like a storm onto the invisible energy shield outside the Mother Nest, only splashing a series of light gray ripples before bouncing off, unable to even touch the skin of the black meat mass.

"Block the Mutated Beasts first! Quickly!" Liu Lingwei's cold shout pierced through the chaos; she stood sideways with her gun, her slender fingers tightening on the trigger.

Her precise shots hit the heads of the Mutated Beasts charging at the front.

The Armed Police turned their muzzles, and a dense web of fire temporarily blocked the charge of the Mutated Beasts.

But the Mutated Beasts were endless, ammunition was being consumed rapidly, and a sense of despair once again enveloped everyone.

At this moment, Liu Lingwei activated her Domination Ability again, controlling another 2 Mutated Beasts, but she realized that 4 was already her limit for domination.

Furthermore, she could only dominate Tier 1 Mutated Beasts.

Chen Ye, however, kept his eyes fixed on the Mother Nest inside the energy shield, his gaze as cold as ice, his mind racing to calculate a way to break the deadlock.

He no longer hesitated and grabbed a giant primitive beast that was being controlled by his Domination Ability.

The beast's huge maw could easily swallow half a person; stuffing six high-explosive grenades into its mouth was more than enough.

Chen Ye's fingers flew, pulling the safety pin of the outermost grenade, and he roared in a low voice: "Charge! Smash its head!"

The giant primitive beast let out a low roar, strode forward with its thick limbs, and charged straight toward the energy shield!

A shocking scene ensued.

As a kin of the Mother Nest, this controlled Mutated Beast passed through the invisible barrier without any obstruction, its speed soaring as its limbs kicked off the ground.

Like a heavy tank, it lunged directly at the deformed, horned head at the top of the Mother Nest!

"It's done!" Chen Ye roared in his heart.

"Holy crap! Brother Chen, you are incredible! You actually thought of this move!" Zhang Lei, hiding at the stairwell, widened his small eyes, his chubby face filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but shout out.

The Armed Police also realized it in an instant, roaring as they increased their firepower, blocking the charging Mutated Beasts on the outside to create an excellent opportunity for the giant Mutated Beast.

Seeing that the giant Mutated Beast was only a few meters away from the Mother Nest's head, victory was within reach!

But just then, the pitch-black horns at the top of the Mother Nest suddenly flashed with blinding gray light!

As if a death order had been issued, seven or eight speed-type Shadow Claw Beasts shot out like black lightning from the shadows on both sides of the roof, accurately pouncing on the controlled Shadow Claw Beast!

Sharp hooked claws pierced fiercely into the Mutated Beast's flesh, and sharp fangs bit tightly into its neck; blood instantly sprayed out!

"Roar!!" The controlled Shadow Claw Beast let out a roar of extreme pain.

Its massive body stumbled to a halt, shaking wildly, but it couldn't shake off the Shadow Claw Beasts clinging tightly to it.

"Not good!" Chen Ye's expression changed drastically, and he roared sharply.

The next second, a chain explosion erupted!

"Boom!!! Boom!!!" Six high-explosive grenades detonated one after another inside the giant primitive beast's chest cavity.

The violent shockwave instantly tore the Mutated Beast's body to shreds, sending black Mother Nest flesh, disgusting white maggots, and the remnants of the Mutated Beast flying everywhere.

Foul-smelling green liquid splashed all over the roof!

The Mother Nest let out a deafening, deep roar, and the massive black meat mass writhed frantically.

The deformed head at the top was knocked askew by the blast wave, one of its horns snapped off, and it was in extreme pain.

Chen Ye gripped his military dagger tightly, holding onto a last shred of hope in his heart.

Even if it didn't hit the core head, the power of such an explosion should be enough to kill this Mother Nest, right?
