The shrill screams pierced through the entire battlefield, even overshadowing the sound of bullets being fired.
In the middle of the intense crossfire between the mercenaries and the mob, a black shadow suddenly broke into the battlefield.
With the help of the flares, everyone saw the monster's appearance.
It had bow-shaped legs, two pitch-black machetes for arms, and a long, spindle-shaped mouth with rice-sized fangs. There were also two pairs of short wings on its back, just like a human-shaped mantis.
The crossfire stopped for two seconds.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
However, the moment the crossfire stopped, the "mantis" moved.
The bow-shaped legs suddenly bounced off, and the seven-foot-tall body unreasonably burst out like a cannonball. The mob closest to it didn't even have time to react before its head was cut off by the crisscrossed blades. Blood spurted from its arteries as it fell backward.
After throwing the prey to the ground, the monster's spindle-shaped mouth suddenly pierced into the broken neck. Accompanied by a series of crunching sounds, the monster gnawed on the prey's bone marrow and flesh like it was drinking a beverage.
The way it ate raw meat and drank blood was as cruel as a beast.
Even the believers who were bloodshot couldn't help but feel their stomachs churning. Their legs and stomachs began to tremble as they began to retreat.
"Iblis …"
It was the name of the devil, just like Satan in the Bible.
"It's Iblis!"
No one knew who shouted, but immediately after that, screams sounded one after another.
The mob raised their G36 rifles in their hands and fired at the monster with all their might. However, the praying mantis only raised the two blades in its hands and let the bullets hit the keratin armor. It did not pay any attention to the 5.56mm bullets at all.
Worst of all, there was more than one mantis-like monster!
There were already dozens of black shadows that jumped out from the entrance of the underground bunker. They waved their blades and rushed toward the mob. Once they got close, the only thing that awaited the mob was the fate of being slaughtered.
Other than the mantis, there was also a fat creature that looked like a maggot. It sprayed highly corrosive saliva. Even objects as hard as steel and cement were defeated by its powerful corrosiveness, let alone humans with flesh and blood.
In the face of the legendary devil, the followers finally began to fear.
Just like when they came, the mob, which was originally a mob, was defeated uncontrollably.
On the other hand, the mercenaries were cheering excitedly.
They were on the same side!
Although he looked a little disgusting.
However, their cheers did not last long. Soon, a similar nightmare befell them.
Dense clusters of spores floated out of the underground bunker and slowly spread throughout the camp, almost undetectable in the dark night. Those who first came into contact with the spores began to have difficulty breathing, and then a tearing pain began to spread from their chests. They screamed and scratched their skin, letting the blood flow.
Soon, they lost all feeling in their bodies and became like walking corpses.
Except for those who were wrapped in kinetic skeletons, everyone on the battlefield, regardless of friend or foe, was swallowed by the spores.
In order to survive, the mercenaries and the rioters turned their guns towards each other and began to face their common enemy.
However, from the very beginning, they had no chance of winning.
…
"Fu * k, what is that thing?!"
A monster that looked similar to a Death Claw pounced over. Jiang Chen, covered in cold sweat, stomped on its chest. He threw away the empty rifle, took out the laser sword, and sliced off one of its arms.
Green blood spurted out and was vaporized by the burning laser sword.
While the monster screamed and retreated, Jiang Chen didn't chase after it. His right hand holding the sword shook, and a spinning blade separated from the sword handle. It sliced off half of the monster's face.
Fortunately, his skills were not rusty, or else he would have been caught off guard.
On the other side, Ayesha set up the Ghost Sniper Rifle and calmly blew off the skulls of two mutant creatures.
"There are too many of them. We can't stay here any longer." Jiang Chen picked up the PK2000 on the ground and reloaded. "Prepare to retreat."
Ayesha nodded but did not move.
"I'll cover the back-"
"You go in front, hurry up!" Jiang Chen patted Ayesha's shoulder and pushed her behind him. He raised his rifle and swept a few zombies that stumbled toward him.
Yes, zombies.
But they looked a bit different from the zombies he encountered in City K. These zombies did not seem to be infected by a virus, but were a bit similar to the zombies on the wasteland.

When he saw the two lines of text projected on the helmet screen, Jiang Chen suddenly understood what these things were.
They were too similar.
The thing he once encountered in Wanghai.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen used his supreme command in Celestial Trade, bypassed all decision-making levels, and directly connected to the Stingray C-1 deployed in the geosynchronous orbit. He listed the entrance to the underground bunker in the center of the base as the target and called for space-based weapons to conduct an airstrike.
As for diplomatic issues, it was better to take a step back in the face of human issues! It was no big deal.
"This is the Stingray C-1. The target has been confirmed. The tungsten rods have separated and are leaving the geosynchronous orbit. The airstrike is expected to arrive in ten minutes. Combatants, please evacuate from the target area … "Jiang Chen turned off the communication in his ear, emptied the magazine in his rifle, and immediately rushed in the direction of the protective net.
Ayesha, who had already run outside the protective net, set up her sniper rifle and began to cover Jiang Chen's retreat. For some reason, these monsters seemed to be consciously chasing them, as if they were controlled by some kind of consciousness.
Before being surrounded by the army of zombies and mutant creatures, Jiang Chen successfully got out of the protective net. At the same time, he threw a nuclear grenade behind him and pulled Ayesha away without looking back.
The shockwave of the explosion blew away a group of mutant creatures. After confirming that the zombies and mutants didn't chase them, Jiang Chen took out the off-road motorcycle from the storage dimension and rushed to the nearby mountains with Ayesha.
Not in the direction of the refugee camp, but in the direction of the border.
The motorcycle rushed up the hill, Jiang Chen stopped, looked at the time on his watch, and looked back in the direction of the military base. With the sporadic light, he could barely recognize with the naked eye that there were no living people in the entire military base.
At this moment, specks of white light appeared in the night sky.
With a long and narrow tail flame, dozens of tungsten core bullets bombarded the center of the military base, and the dust of the explosion rose more than ten meters high.
"They should be dead," Jiang Chen muttered and took out the binoculars from his pocket.
When the dust dissipated, only a deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters was left in the center of the base, like an abyss leading to hell.
The mutant creatures shook their heads and crawled out of the deep pit …
