Outside the desert, a group of soldiers in field uniforms stood ready for battle.

The leading officer, holding a newly developed weapon from the unit, looked seriously at the increasingly restless wolf pack not far away.

The leading officer ground his back teeth; based on years of combat experience, he knew things wouldn't be easy from here on out.

But what exactly is going on? It's not a full moon tonight, so these desert beasts shouldn't be so restless.

And there were no problems before, but it just so happened on the day of the party.

Is it a conspiracy or a scheme?

The more the officer thought about it, the more his head ached. He decided to give up and leave everything to his superiors. His eyes hardened again, and he vowed to be loyal to the empire to the death.

Just as he finished thinking, a report from a frontline soldier came through his earpiece.

"Sir, I request Level 1 defense! Those monsters are closing in on us!"

The detective's usually calm voice trembled almost imperceptibly. It wasn't that he was unsettled; rather, these symptoms reminded him of a past tragedy...

Desert beasts were not previously considered dangerous, since although they had mutated into beasts, they had always kept to themselves.

Moreover, how could flesh and blood withstand the impact of artillery fire?!

From initial vigilance to later relaxation of vigilance, but because of this, due to the laxity of the previous base leader, a base with a capacity of 100,000 suffered thousands of casualties. Keep in mind that every soldier there was equipped with the most advanced weapons!

Those mutated desert beasts were far more terrifying than they had imagined!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.

Today they encountered a greater number of desert beasts than before, and the base contained not only soldiers but also their families.

The leading officer picked up his military binoculars and looked into the distance. He saw that the desert beasts, which had just been surrounded but still seemed somewhat fearful, now appeared to have been unleashed with ferocity.

The thick, muscular man's thighs, as large as an adult's, were planted on the desert ground. The cold wind blew, and his coarse, stiff hair was only slightly ruffled.

Just then, the mutated wolf king at the front suddenly raised its head, its green eyes burning with bloodthirsty madness. It seemed to sense the gaze from afar, and it roared ferociously at the front, the huge sound wave carrying a shockwave.

It seems this guy has also developed superpowers?

The officer clenched his fist slightly. He put down his binoculars, unsure how to express the horrified shock he felt, the terrifying and bloodthirsty greed that seemed to want to burn and destroy everything.

No, this party can't continue.

The officer's Adam's apple bobbed slightly in mid-air. After a long while, he put down his binoculars, picked up the walkie-talkie, and spoke in a very serious voice.

"All troops on high alert! Activate protective shields and initiate maximum alert."

After issuing the orders, the leading officer looked at his secretary beside him, his voice unusually anxious.

"How's it going? Have you made contact with the people inside the base?"

The liaison officer who was being questioned was now sweating slightly, and he had a pained expression on his face.

"I don't know what's going on, but the signal just started to become intermittent. Even though it shows that the call is connected on my end, it seems like they can't hear me at all, and I can't send messages."

Sending text messages just keeps showing a spinning circle before finally displaying a message indicating that sending failed.

The officer frowned deeply. How could this be? Their base had separate communication stations; unless those stations were destroyed...

Wait a minute, the officer's heart skipped a beat. He strode through the corridor into a silver-white room filled with sophisticated instruments, but the blue screen that should have been running smoothly was now completely dark.

Depend on!

Someone is definitely plotting against them!

"Send men back immediately! Prepare for war!!!"

Soaring artillery fire exploded in the desert, and beautiful sparks landed in arcs among the desert beasts.

Countless soldiers with guns stood at the sniping positions.

The artillery fire leaped behind them, landed on the sand, and then scattered like fireworks.

If an ordinary wild beast encountered these incendiary bombs, it would immediately writhe in pain on the ground. However, these mutated beasts, after initially giving them a slight scare, eventually began to ignore them altogether.

Muscular, mutated beasts began to run across the sand, the wind whistling past them, and sharp, knife-like snowflakes began to fall from the sky, as if announcing the start of a grand battle.

None of this was known to those inside the military base.

The old director felt a vague unease. He touched his heart and wondered if he was getting old and his heart was starting to fail.

The bald officer next to him did the same thing, but his condition was clearly more serious; his heart was hurting so much!

There's also this faint, almost imperceptible dizziness, and the suffocation that comes with it.

It seemed that even the sea of ​​consciousness was restlessly stirring, as if something was trying to break through and burst forth from it.

"Heh heh...!"

"Clang!" The sound of a huge chair sliding came from the side. The old director opened his eyes and saw his friend lying on the ground, pale and panting heavily.

"Old Chiang!?"

Many viewers also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, but their reactions were not as intense as Lao Jiang's; they simply thought it was because there were too many people gathered together and they were experiencing oxygen deprivation.

Only a small number of people with keen senses noticed that something was wrong.

Overall, the venue was still bustling with activity, with the host enthusiastically introducing the next guest.

"Next, let's give a warm welcome to our special guest... Rong Le Ning Bao Bao!!!!"

...

"Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!!"

Outside the transparent, lightning-shining protective shield, countless desert beasts were crashing into it like madmen. Moreover, they were not blindly charging around; under the guidance of the wolf king, they were breaking through in an organized and disciplined manner.

The terrifying voltage seemed to pose no danger to them whatsoever. If it weren't for the faint, yellowish-brown fur on the outermost layer indicating the effect of the voltage, the officer would have even doubted whether he had actually energized the protective net.

The highest-level protective shield, once hailed as the latest interstellar technology, also showed a faint crack under this terrible impact.

"Damn it! What are these desert monsters after?! Don't they value their lives? No, notify the mech unit to lure these monsters away!"
