181: Calamity Beast, Water Fairy

Two large buses and more than twenty cars and vans were speeding down the highway.

These vehicles also glowed with fluorescence, seemingly blessed by some power, making them not only extremely fast but also very sturdy, able to easily traverse broken roads and rough patches.

The metal of the vehicles also seemed to have been modified by a Metal-attribute Talent User.

But even such a convoy seemed to be fleeing for their lives.

Inside one of the vans, more than a dozen people were crammed together, all with terrified expressions.

"Has that thing caught up yet?"

"I haven't seen it. We should have escaped, right?"

"What exactly was that thing?" A pot-bellied man seemed to recall something, his face filled with terror.

"I don't know, but luckily that thing didn't seem to be very fast," the thin man, squashed by the pot-bellied man, said in a terrified voice.

Just moments ago, on their way to the official base, they had stopped to rest in front of a dam and encountered a strange attack.

At first, some people inexplicably swelled up, their bodies expanding, and then, right before everyone's eyes, they burst like balloons!

Then, one after another, people experienced the same thing, and everyone panicked, not knowing what was happening.

As they prepared to flee, water suddenly seeped out of the ground. This water, as if alive, chased after them.

Those who were caught were engulfed by the water, which then seeped into their bodies, causing them to explode!

They finally understood what was causing the trouble, but even knowing that, they had only seen the strange water.

They had no idea what was controlling the water.

No one noticed that beneath their vehicles, some water clung to the underside, wriggling as if alive, searching for gaps to enter the car. Soon, the water found an opening.

"How far are we from the official base?" The pot-bellied man recovered and began to ask about the base.

All these people wanted to go to the official base. In the eastern part of Tanghu City, there was a base established by the army, which currently housed tens of thousands of survivors, was powerful, and possessed numerous armed forces.

"It should still be dozens of kilometers, but with so many changes outside now, we can't be sure exactly how far it is," the thin man said.

"Hey, skinny, stop pushing me!" The pot-bellied man suddenly spoke with displeasure.

"No, I'm not!" The thin man retorted.

"Still saying no? Don't I know if you're pushing me or not!" The pot-bellied man grabbed the thin man's arm, and suddenly, terror appeared in his eyes.

"You, your arm!"

The thin man had originally intended to break free, but hearing the pot-bellied man's words, he turned his head to look at his own arm, wondering why the pot-bellied man spoke of his arm with such a terrified tone.

But upon seeing his own arm, the thin man's eyes were immediately filled with terror!

"No, this isn't possible, this isn't possible!"

"It must be my eyes playing tricks on me!"

The other people in the vehicle were attracted by the commotion of the two and looked over simultaneously. Inside the car, a deathly silence instantly fell.

"Quick! Throw him out!" The driver roared.

Everyone snapped out of their fear and stupor, immediately opened the car door, and with a collective push, tried to shove the thin man out of the car.

At this moment, the thin man suddenly gained immense strength, like a burst of power before death, screaming in terror: "No, don't, I'm not dead yet, I still have hope, don't abandon me!"

"Please, just get out, don't drag us down!" A girl in the front seat cried, her face full of fear, pushing the thin man.

"No, I can still be saved! I'm not dead yet!"

"Damn it, I don't care if you're dead or not! Get out!" The pot-bellied man fiercely kicked the thin man in the chest!

"Ah ah ah!" The thin man finally couldn't hold on any longer and rolled out of the car.

Bang!

The car door was violently pulled shut by the pot-bellied man.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just want to live." The girl in front cried, constantly wiping away tears.

The pot-bellied man waved his hand in annoyance: "Alright, alright, who are you crying for? Shut up."

"How did that thing get in? Is it really gone now?" A small old man spoke with a terrified expression.

The people in the vehicle immediately fell into a deadly silence.

Everyone was terrified and uneasy.

How did that thing get on the car? Did it really get off?

Suddenly! A piercing horn blared through the air! Boom, a violent explosion came from ahead!

"Quick! Stop the car! There's a mudslide ahead!"

Unfortunately, there was no chance to stop. Beside them was a steep slope, and the mudslide, like a flood beast ambushing them, instantly engulfed the first few vehicles, blocking the road.

The sound of emergency brakes screeched, and tires sparked on the ground.

The vehicles behind barely managed to stop.

"What's going on? How did a mudslide suddenly appear!" Someone poked their head out of the car window, looking ahead.

A man appeared from inside an SUV: "Quick! Fire-attribute Talent Users, prepare to quickly dry up these mudslides. We'll pass over them!"

"Captain! There are five more cars under the mudslide!"

"Damn it! Are you going to save them! That thing could appear at any moment. Our only chance to survive now is to run to the official base!" The leather-jacketed captain fiercely threw down his cigarette butt.

"Quick! Fire-attribute Talent Users, come out and dry up the mudslide!"

More than a dozen people came out, one after another, all of them second level Fire-attribute Talent Users, and there were even two Level Three ones. This convoy had almost no ordinary people!

Various scorching flames, overwhelming the mudslide ahead, burned it. The water evaporated at a visible speed, and the mud became solid.

"Earth-attribute Talent Users, come out and quickly reinforce the earth!" The leather-jacketed captain immediately ordered.

Another dozen people walked out. The already dried mud became even more solid under the Earth-attribute Talent Users.

"Alright, everyone, hurry up and go!"

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Water, appearing from who knows where, enveloped the last car. The people inside struggled frantically in the water, terrified!

"Save me! Save me!"

"Save me! I don't want to die!"

"Gurgle~~~ Gurgle!!"

Everyone got into their cars in fear, but they realized that it seemed, it was already too late!

Around them, at some unknown point, that water, which seemed to be alive, had surrounded them!

"Captain! Captain! What do we do now!" Someone shouted in a panic.

"Damn it! You ask me! Who do I ask!" Despair was also in the leather-jacketed captain's eyes.

Suddenly, at this moment, the sky darkened.

The people on the ground looked up and saw a huge Pollution Beast! With crimson-gold wings, a crown-like keratin on its head, and a pair of ruby-red eyes, it stared at them.

Thud, someone with detection Talent knelt down, despairing: "A Pollution Beast! A Level Three peak Pollution Beast! An A-Rank Talent! We're finished!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the giant beast.

"Brother Tang, why are we coming down?"

"A Level Four Calamity Beast. Kill it to gain some experience."

"A Calamity Beast? Where?"
