The left wing of a Flying Flame Beetle was completely torn apart. Fluorescent green liquid splashed everywhere.
The animal fell askew.
"Not bad, Chao 'er!"
Granny Wang could not see the situation outside clearly, but just by looking at Meng Chao's spirit when he fired three consecutive shots, she had a clear feeling that he wasn't any weaker than when I was alive!
Meng Chao smirked.
He had originally aimed at the center of the mouth.
That was the biggest weakness of the Black Beetles.
Three consecutive shots should be enough to blow up this beast.
However, he was disrupted by Granny Wang's noise.
"You're really my real grandma." Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
A message popped up in his field of vision.
[You severely injured a Flying Flaming Beetle. Increased contribution points by 1.1. Increased Skillfulness of Normal Level Basic Gun Technique by 0.8% to 25%.]
How stingy, only one contribution point.
But it felt pretty good, and he was more familiar with guns. The feeling of a gun from his previous life was slowly returning.
Meng Chao composed himself and went all out. The more he fought, the smoother his movements became.
As Kindling shone, information jumped madly.
[Flaming Black Beetle killed. Congratulations on your first kill. You have contributed to the defense of civilization. Contribution points + 10. Proficiency increased by 8% to 53%.]
[Killed a Flaming Black Beetle. Contribution points increased by 1.9. Proficiency increased by 0.9% to 55%.]
[You have shot down a Flying Flaming Bug. Contribution points + 3. Proficiency + 2.5%. Proficiency now at 58%.]
Meng Chao whistled and entered the zone.
The rhythmic gunshots made Meng Yishan's hair stand on end.
He was very busy with work and rarely cared about his son's studies, but he didn't know that high school students' marksmanship was so good now?
"I was injured last year, and it was very difficult for me to practice martial arts. I decided to practice spear techniques more," Meng Chao explained.
"Yes." Meng Yishan nodded, feeling a little heartache.
With the hard work of the father-son duo and the other shooters in the area, the monsters' offense was temporarily stopped.
Only one Flying Flaming Beetle landed on the residential building. It waved its sharp proboscis and stabbed into the outer wall armor like a can opener, tearing it apart crazily.
Only half a piece of armor was torn off before it was shot full of holes by the crossfire.
The concentrated bullets detonated the flammable mucus in its body, causing the beast to turn into a fireball and fall down.
Cheers could be heard from many of the firing holes.
Meng Yishan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and continued searching for the mysterious monster that appeared in his nightmare.
Suddenly, he saw a gigantic black beetle with brightly colored stripes floating quietly in the night sky shrouded in blood mist.
Whoosh!
When it spread its wings, they were not transparent, but light gold in color. There were two deep ghostly eye patterns on them.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Wings were more than ten meters long. Every time they flapped, golden dust would ripple out like raging golden flames.
'That's it! The evolved form of the Flying Flame Beetle, the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle!' Meng Chao's pupils shrank, and a terrifying name rose in the depths of his memories.
"What is this?"
The expressions of the residents in the firing holes, the fortresses and the trenches behind the square changed drastically.
They had never seen such a strange Flying Flame Insect.
The terrifying ghost eyes made one's hair stand on end.
"Superbeast."
Li DaYong, the captain of Blessed Sky Garden's joint defense team, squeezed out two words from between his teeth, his face pale.
Humans were divided into ordinary people and extraordinary beings.
Monsters were also divided into normal monsters and superbeasts.
Normal monsters were just strengthened versions of wild beasts.
They were bigger, faster, had sharp claws, thick skin, and were cunning and brutal.
Normal people could win against them with firearms and military organizations. They were not afraid of sacrificing themselves.
But superbeasts were two completely different things.
They did not expect that Blessed Sky Garden's luck would be so bad. They had not encountered any monsters for half a year, but when they did, they encountered a superbeast.
It was a mysterious and unknown superbeast that had just evolved. They did not know its weaknesses, fighting style, and attack style.
"Gather all your firepower and kill that superbeast!"
Li DaYong ordered and grabbed the communicator to make a call. "Blessed Sky Garden discovered an unknown superbeast. I repeat, Blessed Sky Garden discovered an unknown shell-type flying superbeast. Requesting superhumans for reinforcements!"
Unfortunately, the fog had descended, and spirit energy surged in the area. The interference was very bad, and only static could be heard in the communication channel.
The entire city was invaded by monsters. No one knew whether the superhumans who were fighting had heard Blessed Sky Garden's request for reinforcements.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The appearance of the superbeast caused the residents to no longer be stingy with their bullets. More than one hundred lines of fire instantly filled the sky.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle flapped its wings and stirred up a golden whirlwind to avoid the first wave of concentrated fire.
Then, it opened its four-lobed mouth, revealing its bloody mouth, and spat out scarlet fireballs toward the ground.
The fireballs were like napalm bombs. The flames soon spread on the surface of the building.
Even though they could not burn through the armor for a moment, the flames and smoke greatly affected the gunners behind the firing holes.
The other Flying Flaming Beetles seized the chance to break through the net of fire and land on the surface of the building. They swung their mouthparts and destroyed the exterior.
That was not all.
The powder that fell off the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's wings also stimulated the normal Black Beetles that could not fly.
Many of the Flaming Black Beetles had been electrocuted to the point that they were smoking, but once they came into contact with the golden powder, they looked as if they had been injected with stimulants and regained some of their fierceness.
The black tide surged forward again. A few of the high-voltage towers and automatic fighting fortresses were pushed down, and the defense line was in danger.
"Bayonet Squad, get ready!"
In the face of the aggressive insect horde, Joint Defense Captain Li Dayong tore off his camouflage uniform and revealed his scar-covered body.
He jumped onto the infantry fighting vehicle and shouted, "Citizens of Blessed Heavenly Garden, I've already called for reinforcements. The army and superhumans will arrive soon, but before they arrive, let's let these bastards have a taste of our might!"
"Attack!"
"Kill these monsters!"
"Let them see the might of Earthlings!"
The Bayonet Squad roared at the top of their lungs.
Perhaps the citizens were just normal people.
During the day, they were normal workers, white-collar workers, cooks, teachers, couriers, and delivery boys. They did normal and boring jobs.
But during every night when the fog descended and monsters appeared, Dragon City did not have walls.
There were no walls in Dragon City, so they were the walls. They were the warriors, the weapons, the shields, and the final line of defense between their families and the monsters.
The Black Beetle swarm was one hundred meters away from the citizens.
"Dragon City will win."
Li Dayong drew his saber.
"Dragon City will win!"
The shadows of weapons shone.
The Black Beetle swarm was eighty meters away from the citizens.
"Humans will win."
Li Dayong brought out a pen-shaped syringe and stabbed it into their hearts.
"Humans will win!"
The citizens of the Bayonet Squad brought out burning medicine extracted from epinephrine and injected it into their hearts.
As they sucked in breaths, their muscles swelled up at a visible speed.
The thick blood vessels were like dragons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they coiled around his muscular body.
The Black Beetle swarm was sixty meters away from them.
"Earth will win."
Li Dayong looked up at the horizon.
The night sky was shrouded in fog. Not a single star could be seen.
But he could clearly see the blue mother planet on the other side of the sea of stars. It was like a sparkling blue crystal staring at them.
"Earth will win!"
The warriors raised their sabers so that the foreign beasts could see the light of Earth's civilization.
The Black Beetle swarm was thirty meters away from them.
The humans could already see the sharpness and savagery of the monsters.
At that moment …
A series of unusual gunshots came from the residential building behind them.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle tilted to the side and exploded into golden powder. It had been hit!
"What?"
Both Li Dayong and the residents were shocked.
The fireball the superbeast spat had ignited the exterior of the building. Even though the armor was not afraid of burning, the smoke and fire made their vision practically zero. Who fired so accurately?
…
"Someone hit the superbeast. The bullet seems to have come from our direction. I didn't expect that there would be an elite in our unit."
Meng Yishan shouted from Unit 704. "A 'chao, hurry up and run with your mom, your sister, and Granny Wang. I can hold back this monster."
"Dad, you can't do it alone. Have Mom and the others run first. The two of us will defend this place." Meng Chao gritted his teeth.
"Cut the crap. Don't be a hindrance. This is a superbeast. It's not something you can handle!" Meng Yishan said anxiously.
"I know … what this monster is!"
Meng Chao lowered his voice. His gaze was cold, and his eyes filled with killing intent locked onto the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle through the scope, smoke, and flames.
'It's this monster.'
In his previous life, this monster had slaughtered a lot of the citizens in Blessed Heavenly Garden.
It had even heavily injured his mother and caused his little sister to walk down the path of darkness.
'This time, I won't let you succeed.'
Meng Chao pulled the trigger again.
At the moment the armor-piercing bullet shot out, the muscles in his arms and shoulders twitched reflexively to negate the recoil so that the bullet's trajectory would be more accurate and stable.
The armor-piercing bullet was carved with runic symbols and had the armor-piercing effect attached to it. With spirit energy surrounding it and pushing it forward, it traveled even faster than normal bullets. It tore through the smoke and flames and went straight for the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's right wing.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle flapped its wings and dodged the bullet by a hair's breadth.
But the bullet tore off a small portion of its wing, and even the ghost eye mark on its right wing was no longer complete. It looked like it had been disfigured.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle flew into a rage. It let out screeches and searched for the source of the attack.
Meng Chao cursed.
This thing flew too quickly. With just Normal Level Basic Gun Technique, it was impossible for him to kill it.
"The superbeast is enraged! Hurry up and leave!" Meng Yishan roared.
"Leave?"
Meng Chao's face was savage. Should he flee and let his nightmare come true?
