"Ah!" The piercing scream abruptly ceased, creating an eerie atmosphere. The torrential rain did nothing to wash away the blood streaming down the glass of the cockpit, which only added to the sinister feeling.
The other creature in the passenger seat, witnessing its companion being dragged away in an instant, felt a primal fury awaken within.
With a furious roar, it erupted with dozens of bone spikes that tore through its clothing, shooting upward toward the ceiling of the cockpit.
Creatures like this often possessed unique abilities, and this attack was clearly a manifestation of this particular creature's traits!
Bones are inherently the hardest parts of the human body. With a targeted enhancement and an extreme outburst, the metal roof of the cockpit became as fragile as paper, instantly ripped apart!
The entire area of the cockpit's ceiling was affected!
"Hey," feeling the familiar sensation of bone spikes piercing through flesh, the face of the creature, already twisted in agony, revealed a cruel smile.
Even if their entire support team was annihilated! Even if it meant its own demise here! It would drag down everyone it could with it!
That madness ingrained deep within surged forth; in an instant, the bone spikes withdrew and turned the pierced creature into mere fragments!
Blood splattered everywhere, soon washed away by the relentless rain.
"Aren't you supposed to be allies? I didn't expect you wouldn't even spare her corpse." Just as it finished this thought and prepared to leap from the vehicle in search of another target, a voice filled with apparent interest came from the cockpit.
Turning its head, it saw a handsome young man grinning at it.
Then, as if silver light flickered in the air, all the bone spikes along with the entire cockpit disintegrated in an instant! The creature in the passenger seat was cut into countless pieces by that flashing cold light.
With a loud crash, from the outside, it appeared as though the entire cockpit had collapsed and shattered, sending mud flying everywhere, completely separating it from the silver cargo hold behind. Amidst the debris falling from the shattered cockpit, a figure emerged and landed on top of the cargo hold.
As torrential raindrops fell near him, they seemed to twist around his form.
"What the hell? How did he do that? That demolisher." Even though Lucas had been somewhat mentally prepared for it, seeing the collapsed cockpit and the figure emerging from it left him momentarily speechless as he turned to Laiwei beside him.
"It must be that creature's bones causing the destruction; their non-human destructive power is indeed strong." Laiwei felt a dark line forming on his forehead as he observed the seemingly frail fellow, who was continuously reshaping his understanding of the situation.
Just moments ago, when they met up with the support team, the precision with which the other had orchestrated the battle was astonishing. They had managed to consume that extremely powerful support team with almost no losses on their side in a short period!
That team consisted of eight Momentum Level strong fighters and many capable Elite members. What would have required considerable effort to counter was effortlessly crushed under his arrangement.
Even Laiwei, who was completely in the dark about Tactics and Aspects, could clearly feel how smoothly their side was performing, as if they were simply batting a ball back and forth, only needing to swing hard.
Moreover, he unexpectedly took matters into his own hands to deal with that creature that posed no significant threat.
Seeing that style of combat, Laiwei had to admit that although his individual strength might not be weaker than those two creatures that were killed, their unique desperate fighting style and unpredictable non-human abilities could very well drag others down during a final struggle.
At the very least, considering those explosive bone spikes from earlier, Laiwei questioned whether she would have been able to avoid injury even if she could dodge them. And if those bone spikes carried a viral infection...
With that thought in mind, she found herself increasingly perplexed by the figure standing at the top of the Cargo Hold, preparing to enter. It was just a kid whom her brother had casually saved, yet he turned out to be so deeply hidden.
"Hmph, a cunning fellow." It seemed that even her proudest aspects were showing signs of being surpassed. At this moment, she could only mutter a few words of resentment to herself.
With a 'hiss,' accompanied by the sound of a steam whistle, the Cargo Hold door began to rise.
"Ah! Not those monsters? Are you here to save me? If you rescue me, I will tell you everything I know; I've had enough!" As soon as the Cargo Hold door opened, Yang Xiaoyou entered with several teammates who looked at him with strange expressions. Then came a voice from beside them, followed by a man in a White Coat rushing out.
His face was filled with terror. Upon seeing Yang Xiaoyou and the others, he seemed to relax slightly and then desperately pleaded.
He repeatedly claimed to be an important member of the Research Team who knew many Core Secrets and begged Yang Xiaoyou and his team to take him away.
Silence, who had gradually regained composure nearby, couldn't help but twitch slightly at this. If they could take along a researcher familiar with this system, it would undoubtedly be for the best.
However, before he could speak up, Yang Xiaoyou beside him casually shot the man in the head.
The large-caliber bullet nearly blew off half of his skull.
Yet what was most terrifying was that despite losing half his head, the man still let out a wail, his remaining eye filled with resentment.
The sudden change jolted Silence, who had initially been somewhat irritated. He hadn't expected that this creature could even deceive his own senses!
If he hadn't discovered this, according to his plan, he would have forced the creature to work for his side as a captive researcher.
Just thinking about the worst-case scenario made cold sweat break out on his forehead. The Hive Security Company had extensive data on various Infected Entities. He believed he understood the creature well enough, yet now he realized he still underestimated this inhuman monster.
A gunshot to the head didn’t kill the lurking creature, but it severely injured it. The subsequent two shots easily finished off this last obstacle.
Approaching the White Coat, Yang Xiaoyou pulled a magnetic card from his pocket and couldn’t help but whistle. The most crucial part was finally in hand; this mission was already halfway successful.
He then looked up at the massive silhouette lying in the Cargo Hold, covered by a green tarp, feeling a sense of awe. Having a ready-made sample would undoubtedly speed up progress significantly.
At that moment, a truck that had been prepared rolled in from the side, ready to haul everything away.
However, just then, Yang Xiaoyou's expression changed slightly as he suddenly turned his head, squinting toward the direction they had come from. Unfortunately, visibility was extremely low due to the heavy rain, and even he couldn't see far.
Before long, Silence and the other core members sensed something was off. The ground seemed to emit a series of rhythmic high-frequency vibrations that were getting closer! Something big was approaching!
