C98

It was almost noon, the hottest time of the day. The sunlight, which had penetrated from the radiation cloud in the sky to the ground, brought about a scorching heat. Even though she was wearing protective gear, she still felt waves of unnatural stabbing pain. This was the result of the strong radiation penetrating the protective suit and stimulating the skin. Other than the fact that they were completely unaware, everyone else in the caravan had felt the danger.

Moni squeezed her body even more behind where she was standing. Her thin body could clearly feel the radiation from the earth invading her body. And in such a hot moment, even with his clothes on, Zero maintained its normal temperature. Moni adhered onto his body, more or less, was able to lower the temperature of the surrounding area.

Another source of heat reduction came from the top of's head. The plump and round body of the Lala was lying on top of Moni's head in a listless manner. Heterogeneous beast's body temperature was lower than humans', which was mostly due to their habit of living underground for a long time. But now, it had become Moni's hat, and to a large extent, it had avoided being exposed to the sunlight by Moni.

After circling around half of the Morin's ruins, Lala's hunched body suddenly seemed to have received some sort of stimulation, and suddenly became perfectly round. Moni immediately noticed something was amiss and subconsciously reached out to hug Lala.

Taking a look at the small beast, Lala Tong's round eyes were filled with doubt, but the rhombus-shaped coat of arms on his forehead was emitting a strange green light. Moni felt it was strange, but not long after he left, the green light on Lala's forehead disappeared, and the little beast returned to its lazy look.

"What's wrong?" Noticing the movement behind him, Zero asked as he drove.

Moni shook his head: "Nothing."

After a little interlude, the caravan had passed by the Morin and started on the road to Phoenix City. The road condition had basically improved. This made everyone feel relieved. It seemed that the temperature of the ground wasn't that high anymore.

Moni was still holding onto zeros, and asked softly: "I wonder how the Bechymos is doing now?"

Zero did not divulge the situation regarding the huge beast to Campbell, so Campbell thought that the Bechymos had already disappeared without a trace amidst the chaos in Titan City. Now that he heard Moni talk about it, Su Ming's eyes shined upon the seemingly endless road and the thousand miles of clouds. He said indifferently, "It should be returning to its hometown, since it doesn't belong here."

"But does it know the way back?" Moni asked again.

There was silence on the empty road. Zero did not know the answer to this question.

Amidst the gradually disappearing Morin, there was a pair of eyes that reflected the image of the merchant caravan.

The building that had once served as an office space now had a slanted section on the fifteenth floor. Cement and steel bars with broken sections exposed to the air were charred black, and hexagonal black crystals could be seen on their surfaces. It was a mark left behind when a hot object was rubbed against it, and scars like these were plentiful in the Morin.

The pair of eyes appeared at the fourteenth floor's window, and the silhouette of a human could be faintly seen in the shadows. This caused a mantis to covet the mantis that was resting in the opposite building.

The Saber Mantis was an insect type Mutated beast. Its body was hundreds of times larger than its ancestors and it was as big as an eagle. Its shell was dark green and had a metallic sheen to it. In fact, this biological armor was abnormally tough, allowing the mantis to withstand most of the attacks. Its arms were curved like daggers, and the other side of the blade was covered with dense, irregular teeth. This allowed the mantis to cut through the surface of many creatures or inorganic objects.

This kind of Mutated beast liked to live high in the sky. For example, this Saber Bee Mantis was hiding in a fifteen story tall building. Usually, they would prey on other Mutated beast and even living corpse as food. But today, the contours of the opposite building allowed the Saber Bee Mantis to change its taste.

Its blood-red compound eyes locked onto the target on the opposite side of the building. A pair of hard wings spread out from its back, and with a swoosh, it flew out of its hiding place. A dark green trail appeared in the air as the Tremor Mantis drilled into the window.

In the next moment, the sound of a wild beast's roar rang out from the window. The green blade-light of the mantis flashed continuously in the dark space, but there were more lightning flashes of bluish-purple.

The battle ended in less than a minute, and many mutated organism hidden near the building were watching the fight quietly. When the Tremor Mantis' broken body was thrown out of the window, almost all the Mutated beast that wanted to fish for something cheap had given up on this idea.

With a boom, the mantis's body that was hanging on the windowsill fell to the ground with a sudden burst of destruction. At this moment, the Mutated beast saw a new species that had never appeared in Morin before. The strange creatures with lion heads, eagle wings, and human-like bodies made these Mutated beast instinctively feel fear.

Thus, they retreated into the deepest shadows.

The figure of the strange creature flying over the city was caught by a pair of wise eyes. The owner of the eye was a huge wolf the size of a calf. It had snow-white fur that was tens of centimeters long, making it look like a noble. The giant white wolf was lying on the roof of a gymnasium in the city. Through the pieces of glass beneath it, one could see that there were quite a few figures of huge wolves moving about in the gymnasium.

Although they did not have noble white hair like this wolf, but from their size, these wolves seemed to belong to the same species.

The white wolf shifted its gaze away from the strange creature high up in the sky and looked towards the entrance of the gymnasium. The city's on the street had a dozen or so huge wolves galloping over, and the gray, black, or light brown fur of the huge wolves had traces of eye-catching, fishy red bloodstains on them. The blood was not theirs, it belonged to another creature.

The creatures occupied most of the earth. They were people who claimed to be the masters of all things.

Now, however, there were a few human corpses that had been dragged back to the gymnasium by the wolves. Today, when food is hard to find, these corpses will become food for young and adult males. At least under the leadership of its wise and farsighted Bryan, no member of its race would dare to break this rule.

On the road, the Podong Road seemed to see obstacles ahead.

The obstacles were the two armoured war chariots, as well as the dozens of corpses on the road and outside the chariot. The corpses were all dressed as soldiers, and on the armoured vehicles and the corpse's camouflage battle uniform, there was a Phoenix coat of arms.

The caravan stopped as Campbell recognized that the chariots and soldiers belonged to the Phoenix City. The coat of arms had already revealed their identities, and not far from the road, there were more obstacles like this, extending all the way to the end of the road.

With a single glance, Zero could tell that there were at least a hundred corpses lying on the road. Seeing the deep marks on the armoured vehicle, God knows what huge Mutated beast attacked this Phoenix City's army.
