Outside the force field, temporary camp.
The sunset smeared its dying blood-like afterglow over the chaotic camp and the faces of the soldiers, who were still in shock.
The piercing sirens had just weakened due to the subsiding of the previous earthquake, and the air was filled with the taste of dust and despair.
Deputy Director Zhao Qiming stood by the command vehicle, his bloodshot eyes fixed intently on the transparent force field barrier that isolated everything. His fingers unconsciously tapped the cold vehicle body.
The earth-shattering inside information brought by Wei Banmeng, coupled with the news of Fang Qingyu's team's loss of contact, weighed on his heart like a boulder. The support from Shangjing was still on the way, and every second felt like torture in a frying pan.
Suddenly—
BOOM!!!
A shake, more violent and profound than any before, erupted without warning!
This time, it was not from the depths of the earth, but from beneath their feet!
The entire camp rocked madly like a skiff in raging waves!
"It's happening again! Hold steady!!" The officer's roar was instantly drowned out.
The temporary prefabs collapsed like building blocks, dust billowing into the sky, while the newly erected communication antenna twisted and fell.
The soldiers screamed as they dove to the ground, some being flung directly into the air.
"Shit!" Zhao Qiming held onto the car door tightly to avoid falling, his heart pounding.
This was definitely not a simple aftershock!
Amidst this apocalyptic chaos, the viscous, water-like barrier at the force field's entrance suddenly trembled violently!
"Poof!"
A figure was violently "spat" out like a ragged doll, landing heavily on the edge of the camp, rolling a few times before stopping.
It was a soldier who had been stationed in a shallower area to stand guard, his combat uniform tattered and stained with the sticky, sulfuric-smelling dark purple blood.
He struggled to lift his head, his face contorted beyond recognition with extreme fear.
Opening his mouth wide, he emitted strange sounds from his throat, as though using his entire strength to force out a hoarse shriek from his torn vocal cords:
"Monster...monster!! The pit...the pit is alive!! Flesh! It's all flesh!! Surging...surging out——!!!"
The desperate fury of his scream seemed as if he wanted to shout his heart out.
Each word carried a bloody scent, and every syllable resonated with tremors from the depths of the soul.
He pointed unwaveringly at the direction of the force field entrance, his eyes unfocused, as if he had witnessed the true face of hell.
That chilling scream was like ice water over the head, bringing the chaotic camp to a brief, dead silence.
All eyes focused on him, a chill surged from their soles to their heads.
"Come with me!!!"
Zhao Qiming was the only one who wasn't completely frozen.
The deputy director of the Songdu Branch let out an explosive roar, his towering frame moving without any hesitation, transforming into an arrow released from its bow, as he was the first to charge into the violently undulating force field barrier!
A few loyal officers followed closely, gritting their teeth, forcing their way through!
The transparent ripples violently surged.
The next second, Zhao Qiming's figure passed through the barrier.
A frigid, putrid wind mixed with a thick, corrosive stench struck his face.
But he paid no heed to this, as what he saw made this battle-hardened man stumble, his face turning pale instantly, and a chill of hopelessness raced up his spine to his head!
In an instant, he understood where this damned earthquake originated from...
At the edge of the pit, the temporary spiked defenses they had constructed against a potential Life Ghost Tide were now as vanished as toys crushed by a giant beast!
In their place was a gushing, writhing...
Flesh!
Endless, viscous, writhing flesh was surging crazily from the bottomless chasm of the pit, like boiling asphalt!
Dark purple, deep red, corpse white... intertwined and adhered, exuding a nauseatingly sweet stench and a scorching heat.
The flesh gathered and flowed across the ground.
As if possessing life, it expanded, structured, and reorganized rapidly!
The flesh rolled.
The creaking of bone friction set his teeth on edge.
In just a few breaths, an indescribably terrifying silhouette rose from the ground!
Over thirty meters tall, its massive body composed of a solid, trembling core of flesh, its surface covered with a thick shell that dripped with mucus, glinting with a dark metallic sheen.
The shell was studded with twisted protrusions and barbs, as though countless broken bones and weapons had been forcibly pieced together.
Below the main body were countless viscous, flowing, tentacle-like fleshy appendages supporting its huge form.
Without a distinct head, its supposed head was a crown-like structure of interlocked bones, with a large, intensely pulsing, dark red beaming eyeball embedded at its center!
The eyeball, cold, chaotic, filled with pure destructive desire, slowly rotated, silently scanning all living things that intruded its domain.
This was a Life Ghost born of flesh!
A moving mountain of flesh!
The oppressive force it brought was far beyond any Molting-Level Life Ghost seen before!
Despair engulfed Zhao Qiming like icy tides.
His teeth clamped down on his lower lip, nearly drawing blood, while his legs trembled slightly, uncontrollably.
But only for a moment!
The fierce ardor and duty to protect coursing through his blood instantly overpowered his instincts!
"All support personnel, listen to my command!!"
Zhao Qiming sharply raised his head, the tendons on his neck bulging like prominent dragons, his face flushed with effort, his throat bursting with a hysterical yet steely resolute roar, overpowering the low hum emanating from the blood-flesh monster, "Initiate citizen evacuation sequence! Activate the highest protocol immediately! Notify all perimeter troops to shield the populace to the predetermined safe zones at all costs! Repeat, at all costs!!!"
