"Damn it, this is bad!"
Looking at the sea of zombies surging from all directions, a sense of heavy pressure filled the hearts of Chu Xun and the others. If they were only facing a single Tyrant or Licker, they might still be able to rely on their strength to break out of the encirclement. However, with a sea of zombies and two kinds of high-level zombies attacking them, escaping would be nearly impossible, and even if they tried, the Lickers would quickly catch up. Once the Lickers entangled them, the Tyrants and Elite Tyrants would crush them into pieces.
"Chu Xun, didn't you say that Lord Chu Kuang was nearby? Why hasn't he made a move until now? Are you fooling us?" Taking a deep breath, Vincent stepped back to Chu Xun's side and asked with a serious tone. "You didn't lie to us, did you?"
"I don't know why the teacher hasn't made a move. Maybe it's just not the right time yet," Chu Xun shook his head, but his heart was filled with doubts. The situation had clearly escalated beyond their control. If Chu Kuang didn't intervene soon, they would be in grave danger.
ROAR!
But now was not the time for doubts, as danger had already arrived.
After going berserk, the Tyrant's size had increased significantly, and its speed had also risen considerably. With just a few strides, it covered more than ten meters, and then its nearly ground-level claws swung fiercely toward Chu Xun and Vincent, accompanied by a deafening sound of air being ripped apart.
"Don't fight it head-on!" Under the terrifying force of the Tyrant's claws, they moved so fast that Chu Xun and Vincent could barely react in time. Without hesitation, both of them pushed off the ground, using the momentum to retreat quickly.
Boom! Boom!
Their decision to retreat was undoubtedly wise. Just as they moved, the enormous claws of the Tyrant slammed into the exact spot where they had been standing.
With a deafening roar, the ground trembled, and the area where they had been standing was turned into a crater over two meters in diameter. Countless cement fragments shot out like bullets, penetrating the surrounding zombies. Some of these fragments even struck Chu Xun and Vincent, leaving shallow scratches on their bodies.
"Damn, this guy's strength has at least doubled!" Seeing the two large craters left by the Elite Tyrant, Chu Xun's expression changed drastically.
"No kidding. This guy was already one of the best in the second stage, and after going berserk, he's probably reached the strength of the third stage!" Vincent's expression was also grim, his voice low. "That's enough power to wipe out an army of ten thousand! With our current strength, we're no match for him!"
"Yang Ling, do something, damn it!" Meanwhile, Chu Hang, who was fighting off several Lickers nearby alongside the Alien, cursed angrily. His ability, although immune to physical attacks, consumed a lot of energy each time he was hit. At this rate, he would eventually tire out and die.
However, neither the Tyrant's roar nor Chu Hang's angry cursing seemed to have any effect on Yang Ling. The young man, wearing glasses, was completely focused on the "electronic" world, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around him.
"Damn it, the only hope now is Yang Ling. We have to stop the Tyrant!" Seeing that Yang Ling didn't respond, Chu Xun cursed angrily and ran toward an abandoned combat armored vehicle on the side of the road. With both hands, he swung forcefully at it, stabbing his claws into the vehicle's armor.
Tear!
With a grinding metal sound that made their bodies ache, Chu Xun's claws tore through the outer armor of the vehicle, and his entire hands sank into it.
"Ha!" In this critical moment, Chu Xun's full potential was unleashed. With a roar, his feet slammed into the ground, like two nails, digging into the earth as he anchored himself. At the same time, his arm muscles swelled visibly, and deep purple veins popped out under his fair skin. Clearly, he was giving it his all.
"Lift!" With another powerful shout, Chu Xun's arms pushed upward, and a shocking scene unfolded.
He effortlessly lifted the armored vehicle, which weighed at least three tons, as if it were a mere weight. Then, with a final push, he hurled it toward the Elite Tyrant.
"Damn, is this guy a monster?" Vincent stared wide-eyed, his jaw nearly hitting the ground as he watched Chu Xun throw the enormous armored vehicle as a weapon.
Such a violent and brutal combat style was truly shocking!
The massive armored vehicle flew toward the Elite Tyrant like a giant meteor, with terrifying air pressure and the sound of destruction in its wake.
ROAR!
The Elite Tyrant, sensing the threat, stopped in its tracks, swung its claws, and tried to slash at the armored vehicle.
Boom!
After going berserk, not only had the Elite Tyrant's strength increased, but its claws had become even sharper. With a thunderous roar, the Tyrant's crescent-shaped claws blocked the armored vehicle's trajectory. The sharp claws tore into the vehicle's armor, creating bright sparks as they rubbed against it.
Boom!
The next moment, the remaining fuel and ammunition inside the armored vehicle seemed to ignite from the intense friction and heat, causing a massive explosion. The vehicle exploded like a giant grenade, sending scorching flames and countless sharp metal fragments in all directions.
Even the Elite Tyrant, usually invulnerable, was sent flying by the explosion's shockwave, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground.
"Damn, get out of the way!" At the same time, Chu Xun and the others, their faces changing drastically, quickly jumped behind some sturdy buildings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
No one knew how much explosive material was inside the armored vehicle, but the blast was incredibly powerful. The shockwave from the explosion sent a fiery storm of flames and metal fragments sweeping toward them. This terrifying inferno and the deadly metal rain crushed any nearby Lickers and normal zombies, leaving no trace behind.
Though Chu Xun and the others had quickly taken cover behind buildings, the intense heat still caused them to feel suffocated and burned. Some of the metal shards even pierced through the buildings, narrowly missing them.
In that moment, it was as if they were dancing with death!
The firestorm lasted less than five seconds, but the heat and flames gradually dissipated. The group, hiding behind the buildings, let out a collective sigh of relief.
"Damn, that was too close!" Vincent, brushing off the flames from his thorns armor, let out a long breath. His thorns armor was highly effective against physical attacks, but it couldn't withstand high temperatures. If he hadn't reacted so quickly, he probably would have been burned alive.
Meanwhile, Chu Xun and the others, looking disheveled, carefully emerged from their cover, eyeing the center of the explosion.
The terrifying heat and shockwaves had turned the area surrounding the blast site into a sea of flames, with all normal zombies and Lickers reduced to ashes. In the very center of the explosion lay the massive form of the Elite Tyrant, motionless, charred and blackened, though it was unclear whether it was dead or alive.
"Damn, is it finally dead?" Chu Xun sighed in relief, looking at the Tyrant Elite's charred remains.
However, Vincent shook his head, his expression still grim. "Be careful. This Elite Tyrant probably reached the near-third-tier level. This kind of explosion might not have killed it."
ROAR!
As if to prove Vincent's words, the charred Elite Tyrant suddenly stirred. In the blink of an eye, it quickly rose to its feet, letting out a furious roar.
As it roared, its charred skin cracked apart, revealing the blood-red muscles beneath. Seeing the bulging muscles and the Tyrant's furious growl, Chu Xun and the others couldn't help but shudder in fear.
Damn it, a near-third-tier dangerous creature is truly on another level!
ROAR!
Though the massive explosion hadn't caused fatal damage to the Elite Tyrant, it had certainly enraged it. With a furious roar, it charged once again toward Chu Xun and the others.
At the same time, another roar echoed from not far away. Chu Xun and the others turned to see another Tyrant, equally massive, charging toward them from less than fifty meters away!
