A sedan appeared and drove along the road leading to the Herrank Warehouse District. Another vehicle emerged from the side of the road out of nowhere and rammed into the white sedan. The sedan was flipped over and tumbled in circles several times before it stopped at the entrance of the Herrank Warehouse.
The sedan was flipped over. A weak wail came from the inside of the car that was deformed at this point. Within moments, Keith crawled out of the sedan with his face covered in blood. There was a deep cut on his head that was inflicted during the collision...
Moments after that, several vehicles that were trailing after him stopped and had him surrounded. Dozens of Black Knights stepped out and formed a circle around him while Chen Chen also stepped out with a blanket wrapped around himself.
"Cough... You won't get away, Keith."
Chen Chen covered his mouth with his pale hands and coughed haggardly. "If you tell me where you hid the information on the AD-001, I might consider letting you live."
"I won't tell you, you're never getting it!"
Keith shook his head insistently, a hint of despair surfaced in his eyes. "I never thought that even Mr. Parker would betray us. It's a shame that I'll never fulfill the promise I made with Professor Irwin..."
A flash of annoyance appeared in Chen Chen's eyes when he saw Keith trying to garner sympathy. Within the next second, Keith suddenly felt his vision turning into a blur. He seemed to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a card flying toward him that sent him tumbling backward!
From Keith's perspective, he only felt his body turning light as a feather. He felt himself spinning in circles in the air and as he spun, he caught a glimpse of something baffling. He saw his body along with his feet firmly planted to the ground...
Could it be...
Keith seemed to have realized what was happening but before he could properly process what was happening, his consciousness had faded away rapidly...
"Thump!"
There was a sound of what sounded like a ball dropping on the ground. It was Keith's head that was sent tumbling away more than twenty meters away!
Keith was dead.
One of the Black Knights walked toward the head of the decapitated Keith. The Black Knight raised its right feet in the air and stomped it down hard on Keith's head!
With a gruesome splatter, what was once Keith's brain was turned into a mesh of meat under the Black Knight's boots!
A large amount of blood and brain particles splattered across the small square in front of the Herrank Warehouse District.
A gentle breeze carried the scent of flesh and blood toward Chen Chen's direction. He only shook his head ever so slightly as he saw this. Now, he was sure there was no way Keith could be brought back to life, not even with the help of Medpod 3000.
Chen Chen summoned the nano poker card back into his hands and felt another sharp pulse of pain in his head. He knew that this was a result of overuse of Field. He did not expect that even using the graphite poker cards would put this much stress on him.
It was at this point when Little X suddenly alerted, "Sir Godfather, the military is here, they're behind us!'
As soon as Little X said this, several military helicopters appeared in the sky above and they had their sights aimed at Chen Chen. At the same time, a fleet of military vehicles was quickly approaching from the distance as well!
Hundreds of armed soldiers stepped out of their vehicles as soon as they arrived at the plaza in front of the Herrank Warehouse District and began setting up a defensive formation.
Chen Chen was surrounded!
Chen Chen was surrounded by countless soldiers that covered both the ground and the sky above and cut off all potential exits. Despite all this, Chen Chen seemed unfazed as he proceeded to order, "X, cut off the military satellite and intercept their contact with the headquarters!"
"Understood!"
Little X acted immediately upon receiving the order. Within ten seconds, she spoke again, "I've hacked into the military satellite communication system, they won't be able to restore it within twenty-four hours at least!"
Chen Chen nodded and turned to look at the army in front of him. The soldiers that surrounded him numbered somewhere between seven and eight hundred. At this point, the chief officer in charge got on the roof of a jeep and announced with a megaphone, "Mr. Chen Chen, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Wilson in charge of the 52nd Battalion of the 3rd Division, part of the Northern American Division Army. I have come today to put you under arrest under charges of direct violation of the 'Earth Federation-Northern America District Independent Act' and a range of crimes including open manslaughter, assault on the army, and warmongering. Please surrender immediately and you may receive further leniency in court!"
Had they discovered my identity?
Chen Chen was not even remotely shocked to hear his name coming out of the lieutenant's lips. His lips curled into a hideous smile as he asked, "So, it's Lieutenant Wilson. In that case, I suppose Keith entrusted the drug and the USB drive to you?"
"That's right, my troops received the belongings of the civilian, says that it's meant to be given to the Northern American government."
Lieutenant Wilson continued. "This isn't the time to discuss this. We've all witnessed a murder scene. Mr. Chen Chen, do you have anything to say in your defense?"
"No, I killed him, I have nothing to say in defense!"
When Chen Chen heard that the drug was under the army's possession, he smiled and revealed a row of marbly white teeth. At the same time, he shook his wrist and made a weird, slender metal rod appeared in his hands.
Within the hollow layer of the metal rod, one could faintly make out a bright red fluorescent liquid steadily flowing inside it. There were two buttons attached to the tube, one painted in blue and the other in green.
When Chen Chen clicked the blue button, a jet-black needle head popped out of one end of the metal rod with a swift "swoosh"!
"Alright, Mr. Chen Chen, we've recorded everything you've just said. Now, we'd like it if you and your subordinates don't resist our arrest. We'll hand you over to the investigation department of the Earth Federation after this."
The lieutenant was mildly surprised to hear Chen Chen admit to his crimes. He felt like he saw the golden hands of fate waving at him and presenting his promotion ahead of him. He immediately gave a signal and sent a group of soldiers to Chen Chen.
Seeing this, Chen Chen no longer hesitated. He raised the metal rod in his hand and stabbed it right into his heart!
Chen Chen felt a chill seeping into his heart. The needle approximately ten centimeters long went all the way into his heart. He proceeded to tap the green button after that!
"Hnnghh…"
There was the sound of liquid pumping as the stark red liquid contained inside the metal container was injected into Chen Chen's body!
"What are you doing!"
The color drained away from the lieutenant's face when he saw what Chen Chen did. He seemed to have realized something as he cried out, "Stop him, he's trying to kill himself!"
The soldiers sped up their advance toward Chen Chen when they heard this. By this point, Chen Chen was trembling all over. His entire body was jolting violently as if some tremendous force within was about to burst at any given moment.
The soldiers gazed in Chen Chen's direction with an uncertain look between them. What happened after that was something that they would never forget!
They all watched as Chen Chen's body suddenly enlarged. It started with the sound of fabric being torn apart as Chen Chen's flesh tore through his coat to reveal another layer of black tights he wore underneath!
Underneath the black tights, Chen Chen's muscles bulged upward and outward. He started to get down on his knees and curled his body into a ball and soon roared with every ounce of strength he had in his body!
"Ah-!"
Something repeatedly popped and crackled inside Chen Chen amid his howl until a certain point
, something started prodding out of his back as if it were trying to burst out of its shell!
"Thump!"
In the end, even the black tights Chen Chen wore was unable to contain his ever-expanding figure anymore. A large mass of bones shot out of Chen Chen's back and transformed Chen Chen into a spiked beast!
The soldiers halted their steps at the sight of this monstrosity. Their eyes widened with horror and disbelief.
Chen Chen's transformation was not completed just yet. After his clothes were ripped apart, his figure was still expanding at a rapid pace. At one point, his skin was ripped through and revealed rows of stark red flesh underneath! The torn skin then began regenerating at breakneck speed. However, the skin after healing turned into a light-gray color instead of the regular color of human skin. It was soon replaced with a bony layer that spread all across his body. His body was soon covered with a plated armor of bones!
Chen Chen's face went through a sharp transformation as well. First, he split his jaws wide open and revealed two rows of densely arranged razor-sharp teeth. The tooth on the furthest end of both rows was especially long and sharp. When he raised his head, they saw that the surface of his skin had also turned into a boned structure. He had turned into what seemed like a skeletal monstrosity!
They all looked on with a mix of horror and amusement as Chen Chen turned into a monster that stood more than three meters tall, weighing more than four hundred kilograms in a matter of seconds!
Chapter 481: Wipe Out |
"My God…"
A living breathing human being had just transformed before his very eyes — how would he feel?
Lieutenant Colonel Wilson could not describe this feeling. Faced with a scene that could only appear in science fiction movies, at this moment, there was only an endless echo of "F*CK!" in his heart. The group of soldiers sent to apprehend Chen Chen could not help but stop in their tracks. Some even retreated instinctively.
Before everyone's eyes, Chen Chen, who had turned into a huge monster, slowly stood up. As he breathed, two white streams of mist shot out of his mouth like jet valves. When Chen Chen raised his head, everyone saw that his eyes were like two large black holes and in the center of each black hole, one could even see a pupil the size of a needle tip that burned like coal fire!
Were those the pupils of a human being?
As those pupils swept across the crowd, everyone including Wilson experienced heart palpitations that seemed to come from the depths of their souls. It appeared that now they were not facing a human being at all, but a demon who had crawled out of the abyss of hell!
"What the h*ll are you…"
Finally, Lieutenant Colonel Wilson was the first one to recover. He pointed at Chen Chen again and bit the bullet. "What are you guys doing? Hurry up and apprehend him!"
Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Wilson's urging, all the soldiers who were supposed to arrest Chen Chen were caught in a dilemma. Nonetheless, a military order must always be obeyed. Just when they were about to grit their teeth and rush forward, Chen Chen suddenly took a step, bent over, and unleashed a rumbling roar!
"Roar!"
Just like a subwoofer, Chen Chen's roar even created an echo and the soldiers who had charged up were suddenly hit hard by the sound. Their bodies trembled and they fell straight to the ground!
"D*mn…"
Upon seeing this scene, Lieutenant Colonel Wilson's expression changed. Although Chen Chen was extremely valuable, he also understood that he could not hold back anymore. The atmospheric pressure from a mere roar was enough to injure people. What kind of power was hidden within this devilish body?
Thinking of this, Wilson felt an irrepressible chill in his heart and he no longer hesitated to shout, "Shoot, everyone shoot now!"
At once, the dozens of soldiers at the forefront of the fortification immediately executed his order and pulled the trigger without thinking!
"Rattle rattle rattle…"
A series of gunshots resounded like thunder as endless firepower converged upon Chen Chen's body at this moment. Then, an even more incredible scene occurred — Chen Chen was only beaten back a few steps. That armor of white bone had blocked the countless bullets, which jingled as they dropped to the ground!
The powerful 7.26 rifle bullet could not even penetrate the shell of the monster in front of them!
"Hahahahaha!!! You know nothing about true power!!!"
In the rain of bullets, Chen Chen laughed wildly, his voice booming like thunder, even overshadowing the snarl of bullets. He suddenly leaned forward and at the same time, his legs bent slightly, and then he sprang up!
"Whoosh!"
There was a sound of something tearing through the air. Everyone only saw a quick blur. Chen Chen's huge body shot up dozens of meters into the sky!
"How is this possible with such a massive build!"
Such a thought flashed in everyone's minds. They subconsciously looked into the sky, only to see Chen Chen already appearing above their heads, and with a boom, the front of a military truck was directly squashed by Chen Chen!
"Agh…"
The soldiers nearby screamed. They had just aimed at Chen Chen with their guns, but before they had time to fire, Chen Chen's arms swung like a pendulum!
"Pfff pfff pfff pfff!"
The two-meter-long barbs on Chen Chen's elbow were like two sharp sickles. In just one stroke, the soldiers in that area fell to pieces. A large amount of blood and internal organs were flung out, splashing the soldiers behind!
"Agh agh ahh ahh aghh!"
Everyone screamed like they had seen a ghost. Some soldiers no longer cared about avoiding their own teammates and started to pull the trigger frantically!
However, at this time, Chen Chen was like a giant beast in a flock of sheep. He bent his legs again and rushed into another pile of people like a bomb. Then there was another burst of limbs splattering everywhere and four or five soldiers were directly grounded into a pulp!
"Disperse, everyone, disperse immediately!"
The battle commander near the group shouted. All the soldiers screamed and scattered in all directions, but their speed was like a toddler's compared to Chen Chen who was like an agile cheetah, rushing around in the crowd and killing as he pleased!
"Where's the sniper? Where's the grenade platoon? Get them to strike now!"
In the command vehicle, Wilson's eyes were popping out. He yelled frantically, but the adjutant next to him rushed forward and yelled, "No way, Lieutenant Colonel. He's among our men now. We don't dare to fire!"
"Fire, let them fire boldly. We must kill this monster!"
Wilson bellowed while being heavily protected by his guards and he was herded into the command vehicle by the guards.
Wilson's command vehicle was an infantry fighting vehicle. After seeing this horrible display by Chen Chen, the command vehicle quickly started its engine, preparing to flee into the distance.
"Will you manage to escape?"
Suddenly, after killing dozens of soldiers around him, Chen Chen turned his head. He snarled in a low voice and then suddenly exerted force from his feet, and sprang 20 or 30 meters into the sky!
"Boom!"
In the next second, Chen Chen's huge body crashed down from a great height and he landed directly in front of the infantry fighting vehicle. His sharp teeth appeared like two sawtooth rows, and at the same time, he half-arched his body, assuming a posture of confrontation!
"Crash!"
There was a massive impact and the infantry fighting vehicle slammed into Chen Chen's body. Suddenly Chen Chen was hit by the infantry fighting vehicle and driven backward!
However, as he found his balance, Chen Chen suddenly straightened his legs. As the infantry vehicle continued to move forward, Chen Chen's feet plowed two deep ditches into the ground!
After plowing a ditch of more than ten meters on the road, the infantry fighting vehicle was unexpectedly forced to stop!
At the same time, Chen Chen let out a roar.
His arms suddenly exploded with strength. The entire armored vehicle was lifted directly and then it was turned upside down in a raging tumult!
However, just then, there was a flash of fire on a helicopter not far away. Chen Chen had just flipped over the armored vehicle and suddenly felt a jolt in his head. He scratched his head and a deformed warhead with a caliber of more than three centimeters slid off his head and hit the ground with a loud "clank".
This was the caliber of anti-material sniper rifles!
"Hmm?"
Chen Chen quickly turned his head and looked into the sky. He saw a helicopter hovering at an altitude of thirty to forty meters and then there was another flash of fire from the helicopter!
This time, Chen Chen tilted his head at once and a whistling sound cut by his ear. Another bullet had passed by Chen Chen's ear and a deep hole with the thickness of a bowl was excavated right behind Chen Chen!
"Little worm, you've hurt me!!!"
Provoked by this opponent, Chen Chen could not help but let out a roar and then bent his legs again!
"Oh no!"
On the helicopter, the pilot saw this familiar scene. He suddenly felt a pang of horror and alarm for some reason. Without thinking about it, he started to pull up the helicopter as if he was preparing to avoid the monster's attack!
Even so, how could the agility of a helicopter compare to that of a creature? In the next second, Chen Chen's body bounced forth like a cannonball. At this moment, the air seemed to be torn apart, rippling with exploding airwaves!
"Bang!"
Chen Chen's body slammed into the helicopter. The sniper in the back seat was smashed into a pulp by Chen Chen before he could even react. The airplane further lost its balance, spinning as it fell to the ground…
"Boom!"
The moment the helicopter hit the ground, a huge fireball suddenly rose, but Chen Chen rushed out of the fireball as if nothing had happened. He leaped again and returned to the crowd!
A massacre from hell seemed to have begun…
Wherever Chen Chen passed by, there were corpses all over the ground and severed limbs flying through the air. These soldiers were as fragile as clay and paper. With just a wave of Chen Chen's hands, several lives were dispelled like the flicker of fireworks, fading away subsequently…
