Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1123: Zhen Yuanzi
Chapter 1123: Zhen Yuanzi
The minor official who controlled the elevator in Shengjing was scared out of his wits at this moment, beads of sweat as large as beans streamed down his forehead.
"Bang!"
His obese body crashed through the door of the simple hut, and then he frantically and flusteredly called Tian Fengyi, the captain of the Dragon's Roar Guards stationed here.
"Captain Tian, no, no... it's bad! Something's happened at the mine pit!!"
Before his words even finished, a dense, chilling sound came from behind him.
At the edge of the massive sinkhole, one giant centipede after another crawled out from underground.
The surrounding guards, seeing this, opened fire without hesitation.
They were all using specially made weapons; the large-caliber projectiles blasted against the bodies of the giant centipedes, knocking some of the newly emerged ones back into the abyss.
But on the walls deep within the abyss, those giant centipedes surged up like a tide, densely packed!
Even the Dragon's Roar Guards couldn't help but be dumbfounded seeing such a formation.
How were they supposed to deal with so many giant centipedes?
The number of giant centipedes deep in the abyss was far more than just a few hundred!
Within just a few dozen seconds, over a thousand giant centipedes had crawled out, beginning a massive slaughter of the surrounding miners and soldiers.
The smaller of these centipedes were three to four meters, while the longer ones reached a terrifying dozen meters!
Hundreds of arms like steel spikes could directly pierce through a person's flesh, then lift them up and stuff them into their mouths, crunching and gulping them down into their stomachs!
The defending Dragon's Roar Guards, caught off guard, were beaten back step by step. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Right at this moment, a military boot heavily stomped on the ground at the entrance.
"Boom!!"
The man who arrived here wore a dark green military uniform and a military cap. His robust body was as burly as a gorilla, and his face was as cold and stern as a sculpture forged from steel.
"Ground centipedes?"
The minor official managing the elevator scrambled over to him on his hands and knees.
"Captain Tian, Captain Tian! Something huge has happened!"
This person was Tian Fengyi, the captain of the Dragon's Roar Guards, the most elite unit among the garrison forces in Wuyou Valley.
He glanced at the giant centipedes surging out from the abyss like a tide, then looked down at the minor official with snot and tears smeared all over his face, before raising his head and letting out a furious roar:
"Kill!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, his body rapidly expanded like a balloon, his clothes bursting open instantly. His muscles swelled, and his hair rapidly grew long, turning snow-white.
In an instant, he transformed into a white, giant ape over a dozen meters tall!
Beside him, several dozen true elites of the Dragon's Roar Guards, special unit members composed of superhumans, also unleashed their powers.
Tian Fengyi led the charge towards the edge of the sinkhole. With one hand, he directly grabbed a ground centipede over a dozen meters long, exerted force, and crushed its head to pieces!
"Roar!!"
Tian Fengyi leaped forward, charging directly into the swarm of ground centipedes.
The surrounding ground centipedes immediately turned their heads, completely engulfing him.
Yet, less than a second later, a massive fist blasted through several centipedes above him.
The giant ape form Tian Fengyi had transformed into possessed an astonishing combat power of 9,800 points!
If not for this, he would not be qualified to serve here as the captain of the Dragon's Roar Guards!
Although those ground centipedes looked huge, their sharp fangs and claws falling on Tian Fengyi's body were completely painless and harmless.
Soon, the ground beneath Tian Fengyi was piled high with the corpses of ground centipedes.
The Dragon's Roar Guard elites, under Tian Fengyi's lead, also joined the battle.
Although they numbered only a few dozen, in battles between superhumans, numbers sometimes don't hold much significance.
The survivors, who had been in a panic, seeing this scene, all let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
When death approaches, one finally understands that being alive is actually pretty good.
Facing the endless stream of ground centipedes emerging from the abyss, Tian Fengyi frowned with his thick brows and said in a muffled voice:
"These things occasionally appear one or two at a time, but why have so many emerged today?"
He strode to the edge of the abyss, then opened his bloody maw towards the chasm and let out a powerful roar!
"Roar!!!!"
The sound forced everyone around to cover their ears, and many structures were shattered by the vibration!
The thousands of ground centipedes still climbing up from deep within the abyss were directly shaken off, falling back into the depths.
"Hmph! Just insects."
Tian Fengyi turned and began walking back, giving orders to his superhuman subordinates.
"Seal the mine temporarily! An anomaly has occurred here, don't let anyone go down for the short term. I will report to the Garrison Commander and let him decide."
Everyone nodded in agreement, also privately wondering just what had happened in the mine pit to cause the sudden rampage of these bizarre creatures that originally existed only deep underground.
Just as Tian Fengyi was about to leave, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the abyss behind him, instantly enveloping him.
Tian Fengyi's body froze as if iced, standing rigidly in place. All his heroic demeanor from moments ago completely vanished.
A layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Run!
Run! Run! Run!
Tian Fengyi's mind screamed this command to his legs, because at this very moment, he actually couldn't move his legs due to the instinctive fear gripping his body!
If even Tian Fengyi was like this, others were even worse off.
The entire area around the mine pit, a crowd of over a thousand people, was plunged into extreme terror by the sudden appearance of the colossal entity.
From the massive abyss, half of an enormous body emerged. It was a ground centipede emitting a faint, dark glow all over. Just the head that was revealed was seven to eight meters long.
Judging by this proportion, its body within the abyss must be at least one to two hundred meters in length!
That was no longer within the realm of creatures humans could comprehend.
Even the largest known creature to humanity would be like a toy before it.
Immense, terrifying, and possessing a strength that brought utter despair!
"E... Epsilon!"
Tian Fengyi forced the word out with difficulty.
And that colossal entity, as if stepped out from a mythological world, fixed its eyes on him.
A delicious meal.
For some reason, Tian Fengyi seemed able to sense what the other was thinking.
A superhuman with a superhuman ability index of 9,800 points was, in front of it, merely a plate of fine cuisine.
Everyone fell into complete and utter despair. From the moment that creature appeared, they couldn't muster even a shred of resistance from the depths of their souls.
Perhaps calmly accepting death was the best outcome.
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Has the bizarre creature causing trouble beneath the Qinling Mountains finally revealed its true form?"
On the snowy mountain, a man clad in heavy armor stood atop a massive boulder, steadfast amidst the wind and snow.
A suit of bright yellow heavy armor, possessing an anachronistic sense of discord, yet when worn on him, gave people an incomparably solid, immovable-as-a-mountain feeling.
And his appearance brought hope to everyone.
"Garrison Commander!!"
Tian Fengyi cried out.
The one who had come was the foundational figure sent by the Shengjing Region to the Qinling Mountains.
The Garrison Commander of Wuyou Valley, Zong Yue, also known as Zhen Yuanzi.
