Because of the wisteria flower monster's madness and rage, the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains in southwestern Huazhou resounded with a tremendous sound, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting.
Countless creatures in the mountains and forests perished in a short period of time under the wrath of the wisteria flower monster.
Satellite imagery from the sixth city security base, which was evacuated during an emergency, still shows the horrific scene of a single vine enveloping and killing countless lives.
But at this point, no one had time to feel fear or apprehension—they needed to get on the modified armored vehicles as quickly as possible and leave for the Ninth or Second Safe Base, so they would never again be attacked by those terrifying killer bees and the enormous monsters that were even more terrifying than killer bees.
No matter how terrifying the scenes in a video are, nothing is more frightening than experiencing that kind of terror firsthand.
At this moment, the administrator of the sixth city had already boarded a modified helicopter and was heading quickly and carefully toward the second city's security base. Even though he was still worried about his son, perhaps his son had already died in those mountains, and he, as a father, was powerless to do anything about it.
It's all the fault of those guys who were touted as incredibly powerful. They seemed so amazing after what happened in Ninth City and Second City. But rumors are unreliable. After those three powerful guys arrived at their Sixth City safe base, they not only failed to help them deal with the bee swarm, but also attracted even more terrifying creatures.
The Sixth City Administrator gritted his teeth in the helicopter. It must have been those three people who did something! Before those three arrived, at most it was just a swarm of wild bees attacking humans, but after they entered the deep forest, that monster appeared!
He's a jinx who's good for nothing but causing trouble.
Those three people caused him to lose his greatest support and his position at the top. If he had known, he would have been better off not letting them come!
Just as the manager was thinking these things bitterly, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He paused for a moment, quickly answered the phone, and then froze in disbelief:
"Dad! I escaped! I escaped! Where are you? We can't stay in the base anymore!"
After a moment of arguing, the manager shouted excitedly, "Son, we're out! We're out! Oh my god, you're alive! As long as you're alive, that's all that matters! Turn on your phone and locate me, Dad's coming to pick you up! Let's go to the Second City Safe Base together!"
Then, amidst the manager's loud reprimands, the helicopter flew towards the edge of the forest.
By this time, Xie Tianlang and Gou Fugui's electric raft, which had been drifting downstream, had reached the edge of the forest. After throwing the tranquilizer dart containing air freshener, they encountered almost no more animals chasing them along the way.
They reached the edge of the forest more smoothly than expected, and even saw Song Sanchuan, Si Wuyai, the giant rabbit, and the newly joined orange cat waiting for them.
Furthermore, around and behind these two people and two beasts, there were more than twenty enormous evolved beasts gathered nearby, waiting as if they were waiting for companions to leave with them.
Even though they all knew very well that they were waiting for humans, not beasts.
"grumble--"
Upon seeing the raft, the giant rabbit leader jumped up and rushed forward even more excitedly than Song Sanchuan and Si Wuyai.
But when it discovered that the adorable creature sitting on the raft, exuding a familiar scent, was not its beloved weasel, but a giant round dumpling that was round from head to toe, from ears to tail, the giant rabbit let out a heartbroken squeak.
Why isn't it its beloved weasel?! What an ugly thing this black and white ball of fluff is!
Just as the giant rabbit leader was about to turn and leave, looking completely indecent, the panda-like, wealthy beauty gave it a friendly smile and pulled a huge carrot out of her pocket.
"Bunny, nice to meet you! Let's be friends. Have some carrots!"
Giant Rabbit Leader: ...!!!
This feeling of being inexplicably warmed!
They're completely different types from the Heartthrob Weasel, but the Giant Rabbit just can't help but fall for them again!
Especially since this big dumpling even offered it a carrot and smiled at it so, so cutely!
"Chirp, chirp!"
Well, actually, round and chubby is quite cute, and plump is good too. In terms of size, this black and white ball of fluff actually looks quite similar to their giant rabbit family! What a coincidence!
While Panda Fugui was using his 100% affability and friendliness to befriend the giant rabbit leader, Song Sanchuan and Si Wuyai, who discovered that their Fugui brothers had become national treasures, were trying hard to control their excited hearts and trembling hands.
Song Sanchuan: "Oh my god, am I seeing things?! That's a giant panda! It's a giant panda! It's the giant panda I've always dreamed of raising!"
Si Wuyai: "Hehe, which Chinese person hasn't dreamed of raising a giant panda? Although that giant panda is probably not real, but... its fur is messy, there are bloodstains on its body, and it looks very tired. I have learned professional massage and grooming techniques, so I have to go and do my part for my comrades."
Having made up his mind to never brush the animals' fur again, Si Yanjing excitedly picked up the comb in his hand and was about to step forward, but just as he was about to touch the black and white panda Fugui'er, Xie Tianlang grabbed his hand.
"Please keep a distance of one meter from the national treasure."
Si Wuyai tried to struggle a little more: "I'm just brushing his fur, look how messy it is!"
Xie Tianlang: "Keep your distance. Thank you."
Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in those wolf eyes, Si Wuyai finally pushed up his glasses, turned around, and started combing the big tail of the orange cat.
Of course, if he didn't watch the panda combing its cat tail, he might be more liked by the orange tabby.
"Don't waste any more time, let's get out of here quickly. That giant vine is going berserk right now, and it's likely growing wildly this way. Let's get out of here before its roots can leave the mountain. That kind of creature is completely beyond human capabilities."
Even if you use missiles or nuclear bombs to deal with it, you may not be able to kill it completely. If missiles or nuclear bombs cannot instantly and completely kill all the roots of this vine behemoth, then it can definitely be resurrected by the power of the core fragments. And what kind of terrifying abilities will the resurrected wisteria behemoth have?
Gou Fugui and the other three people present dared not think any further. The world had developed to this point, and it was almost beyond human control to change.
Even from this moment on, from the moment this colossal wisteria-covered giant appeared in Washington, the most important thing humanity needs to do is not to think about how to save or change the world, but how to ensure that more people can survive in the future.
If the world is indeed using giant creatures to raise venomous insects for self-preservation and to collect all the core fragments, as they intend, then there must be more than one colossal monster like the Wisteria Giant.
"...Let's go, let's go to the Ninth City Safe Base first." The chubby panda, sitting on the giant rabbit leader's head, made a decision: "From now on, whoever possesses the core fragment will definitely become the target of the giants. Let's go to the Ninth City Safe Base first to inform the administrator of this matter, and then collect as many core fragments as possible in the Ninth City to strengthen its defenses."
The round-faced panda rubbed his face: "Hopefully, Ninth City can hold out longer without the core fragment."
Xie Tianlang, Song Sanchuan, and Si Wuyai all nodded solemnly. Si Wuyai sighed, "If things get bad enough, gathering together will only make them easier targets... Never mind, that's something for the manager and the general to worry about."
After that, Fugui Dundun, Xie Tianlang and the other two, along with the more than twenty giant animals that were going to follow them, ran wildly away from the forest homeland where they were born and raised, heading towards the Ninth City on the southeast coast.
As they were leaving, a sound that seemed to be someone howling in pain suddenly came from not far away, but upon closer listening, the sound seemed to disappear.
Fuguidundun merely turned its head to glance in that direction, but ultimately did not allow the giant rabbit to turn.
If they followed the sound of the agonizing screams, they would see a specially designed helicopter not far from them, surrounded by bright red blood and severed limbs. The old man lying next to the helicopter, his eyes wide open in death, was none other than the highest-ranking administrator of the Sixth City.
His eyes, filled with fear and confusion, were fixed on a direction where a "person" with four arms extending from behind, making him look like a giant spider monster, was clutching his head, howling and rolling around madly.
"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
He's going to die! He's going to die! He's going to die!
But he possessed even more power, immense power, power that allowed him to dominate the world, hahaha!
So good! So good! So good! So good! I'm so excited!!
I want...more power...to kill more lives...and obtain more fragments!
"Hehehe... Hehe... Base... Fragments."
There are fragments in the base!!!
As the final, shrill howl transformed into an excited roar, the enormous spider-man, whose appearance had been altered beyond recognition after devouring five core fragments, yet who now possessed terrifyingly powerful strength, laughed maniacally as he headed towards the Second City Safe Base.
On the back of this enormous spider-man monster, there are five fragments resembling the core of the world.
Humans are at the top of the food chain, so why shouldn't this great evolutionary process include them?!
Since the world won't take him along, let's make him participate willingly! It's just about absorbing fragments and power, right?!
After seizing all the core fragments of the bases, he will surely become the most powerful being in this world!
Humanity remains at the very top!
* * *
On the night following the appearance of the giant wisteria, the wealthy and beautiful woman and her entourage returned to the Ninth City Safe Base.
Before the Ninth City Security Base administrator, legion commander, and hunting elites could even rejoice, they heard the series of devastating news they had brought back.
That very night, the Ninth City Security Base and the Second City Security Base held an emergency meeting to discuss the destruction of the Sixth City Security Base, the colossal wisteria of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the core of this world of great evolution—that scarlet fragment.
"So, let me summarize."
After a long discussion, the manager of the Ninth City Security Base wearily rubbed his temples and addressed the general in the video and the people in the conference room.
"There are three key priorities next:"
First, thoroughly screen all core fragments within the base, ideally preventing them from remaining within its boundaries. Otherwise, the evolved behemoths will launch a preemptive attack.
Second, we must comprehensively strengthen the base's defenses, accelerate the production and stockpiling of food, and prepare for the worst-case scenario. If the safe base is attacked by a giant creature, we must do everything in our power to preserve the human race.
Third, comprehensively monitor high-energy burst areas globally, collect data on every giant object that appears... then determine safe points based on the movements of these giant objects, and evacuate and establish new safe points as needed.
The more the manager spoke, the heavier his expression became. Finally, he sighed and looked at the general, as if waiting for his old friend to give him a negative answer.
Is that so?
Unfortunately, the general in the video looked at him with the same gaze, nodding and smiling helplessly at him.
"Yes, from now on, we old folks and all the young people will have to do everything we can to survive."
A moment of silence fell over the meeting room.
The elite hunting captain, Bear Team, disliked this atmosphere and immediately slammed his hand on the table, retorting:
"Old commanders, don't be so discouraged! Although that giant wisteria in the Ten Thousand Mountains is deadly, there can't be too many creatures that big! Maybe that guy is an exception?"
"And even if we take a step back and assume that more giant creatures do appear, they might not necessarily target human bases for attack. They are all large monsters that crave fragmented power. So, wouldn't it be better for us small human beings to just survive until these monsters fight each other to the death?"
Captain Xiong's words sounded quite reassuring.
Captain Feng Yuan, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "What if one of them survives in the end?"
Xiong Xi was furious: "Can you stop arguing with me all the time?"
At that very moment, sharp, dangerous alarms rang out almost simultaneously in the Ninth City's conference room and the Second City's conference room in the video.
As the two leaders nodded in agreement, the observer rushed in to report, his face pale as he played the latest video footage from the satellite surveillance.
"Report to the commander! The Sky Eye has detected massive energy fluctuations just now in the deep sea areas of the Americas, Europe, Russia, India, Australia, and the four oceans, as well as at the North and South Poles. Based on these energy fluctuations, we have captured images of the activity of twelve enormous monsters, no less than the giant wisteria vines of Washington!"
These twelve colossal objects were detected moving rapidly. Among them, the objects from Russia and the Arctic, Australia and the deep Pacific Ocean were approaching each other, while the objects from the Americas, Europe and Indian Ocean were converging on... the human safety base.
According to the information we received, the Third City Security Base in the Americas has just been destroyed.
Reason for destruction—
The observer closed his eyes and shouted, "The cause of destruction: crushed by a giant cougar!"
After the observer finished reporting, an indescribable deathly silence filled the entire conference room of the security base.
For a moment, people here doubt their ears, their eyes, and even the world itself.
A massive, fortified base was crushed and destroyed by a lion's stomp.
What a ridiculous statement!
How big can a lion be at its tallest? It's only about the size of two or three people.
But now, that lion has grown so big that it can crush a city with a single step.
Even if the giant cougar actually crushed the central area of the city and didn't flatten the entire city with one stomp, the satellite footage and the huge lion footprints that resembled a crater left no room for doubt.
All of Xiong Xi's earlier words about the possibility of luck seemed utterly ridiculous in the face of these enormous lion footprints.
Meanwhile, the satellite surveillance footage continued to change.
The scene then shifts to the battle between the two behemoths in Australia and the Pacific Ocean.
This time, the enormous entity did not notice the human security base in Australia, but what good was that?
A giant kangaroo, a creature found in the Australian mainland, and a giant squid from the Pacific Ocean, whose tentacles were no thinner than wisteria vines, clashed. In just twenty minutes, the fight between these two giants devastated the Australian continent, which is surrounded by the sea.
Even though high-definition satellites could not capture the terrifying scene of life on the Australian continent being almost trapped with nowhere to go, Gou Fugui and everyone in the conference room could clearly see that the only two safe bases on the Australian continent were collapsing and being destroyed because of the battle between those giant, god-like creatures.
Upon seeing this, the commander abruptly stood up. Looking at the terrified and somewhat confused expressions on everyone's faces, he said in a deep voice, "Don't waste any more time! From now on, get all the people in the base moving and dispersing to safety!"
"All survivors within the base are divided into ten groups, each dispersing in the surrounding areas! Take with you all underground excavators, food, and communication devices, and begin establishing underground, dispersed safe villages for survivors!"
"Gentlemen, what are you all standing there for? The destruction of Australia is still fresh in our minds. Even if the Washington Wisteria Giant hasn't attacked yet, the battle and collision between these thirteen giants is inevitable!!"
"We have no choice. Now, all we can do is try our best to survive."
After a moment of silence, everyone responded with a resounding roar.
As they dispersed, Gou Fugui, sitting in a corner, overheard Captain Xiong mutter a sigh.
"Not a single human could even participate in this battle. If only I could become a behemoth..."
I am determined to protect all of humanity!
The long-haired youth remained silent and expressionless upon hearing this, but his beautiful phoenix eyes were now fixed on the void, looking at the golden panda Fugui's photo and skills in his sea of consciousness, and he gradually made up his mind.
Who says that humanity doesn't have a single behemoth that can compete in this battle?
Isn't the panda in front of him just a candidate for humanity in this competition?
From the moment the innate bloodline skill "Ancient Divine Beast: Iron-Eating Beast" appeared, he was automatically selected.
"Hey."
In the end, I guess I still have to play the savior.
