Chapter 206 - 203: A Disaster Movie Is Just Like This, Right?

Chapter 206: Chapter 203: A Disaster Movie Is Just Like This, Right?

Chen Xing immediately went to the window.

Looking out, the sky flickered from dark to light.

Fireworks were being set off.

’Something like this shouldn’t exist in the apocalypse, right?’

This fireworks display was an extravagant affair.

She had heard that people would set off fireworks for the New Year before the apocalypse.

The cost of a single display was absolutely staggering.

And now, after the apocalypse?

It was hard enough for everyone to survive. Who would waste money on that?

’Even if they were from old stock, wouldn’t it be more useful to save them for a crisis and blow up some monsters?’

The firework extravaganza continued.

It was also the first time Chen Xing had ever seen such a spectacle.

Just then, beneath the dazzling display, something seemed to flash past.

Lizard Monsters!

Chen Xing pulled a pair of binoculars from her storage space and looked toward the distant city center.

Her floor was low, so her field of view was limited.

But even so, she could still see the Lizard Monsters... smashing through windows and climbing inside?

Some of the Lizard Monsters would emerge from buildings with people dangling from their mouths, only to then fling them away.

The person would plummet from the sky. Even without seeing it, she could imagine what happened to them in the end.

Chen Xing immediately ran out the door.

These monsters seemed to have upgraded; they were much more formidable than when she’d last seen them.

Moreover, they had no fear of heights, darting between the tall buildings and landing on connecting bridges in the blink of an eye.

Just as Chen Xing stepped outside, she heard the sound of glass shattering from the Carson family’s home.

’This place is so remote... monsters usually never come here.’

Just then, the door behind her was also smashed open.

A Lizard Monster landed lightly on the wall, then leaped to attack Chen Xing.

It was fast, and its aim was incredibly accurate.

Its sharp teeth came straight for her neck.

Chen Xing sent it flying with a single kick.

The Lizard Monster slammed into the wall, shattering a large section of it.

But it seemed completely unharmed as it leaped right off the wall to attack Chen Xing again.

Its bite had failed, so this time it whipped its tail at her.

Chen Xing leaped to dodge. As the Lizard Monster tried to snap back at her, she flung a bolt of electricity from her hand straight at its head.

The Lizard Monster instantly went limp, and its Crystal Core rolled to a stop at Chen Xing’s feet.

This Crystal Core was indeed different from the ones that dropped from the Lizard Monsters she had killed a few days ago.

The Lizard Monsters really had upgraded!

’As for why they’re hunting humans on such a massive scale?’

She figured there was only one possibility: the United States could no longer control these Lizard Monsters.

At the same time, screams began to ring out from outside.

Apparently, there were too many Lizard Monsters in the city center, and some had been forced out to this area.

Seeing that no one was around, Chen Xing released her little dinosaur monster.

Despite its small size, the little creature was incredibly effective. Whenever a Lizard Monster came near, its kill was swift and sure.

And... the little dinosaur monster could also cling to walls.

Even though it couldn’t fly around everywhere like the Lizard Monsters, it could still nimbly land in safe places.

The little thing was also a picky eater; it only killed the Lizard Monsters, never taking a single bite.

That’s how it stayed so nimble and lean, making it the perfect nemesis for the Lizard Monsters.

Chen Xing let the little dinosaur monster hunt freely while she went to find Carson.

After taking a side path to the city center, Chen Xing was greeted by the sight of a dense, dark swarm of Lizard Monsters.

On the main roads below, bodies littered the ground, and zombies were surrounding the long-awaited food, enjoying their "gourmet meal."

’Just like a disaster movie, huh?’

Chen Xing moved through one building after another until she reached the central tower.

This was the Great Commander’s office building.

It was a thirty-odd-story building with whitewashed walls. Even in the apocalypse, it looked brand new.

Even when a few Lizard Monsters crashed into them, the windows remained unshaken, completely unaffected by the swarm outside.

Many people could be seen at the windows, watching the situation unfold outside.

On their faces, there was no trace of worry or fear.

Instead, when they saw someone get attacked and killed by a monster, they would clap and laugh cheerfully...

The sight made Chen Xing deeply uncomfortable.

Chen Xing decided to go inside and take a look.

The building was completely sealed off, with soldiers armed with heavy weapons standing guard inside.

She looked around but couldn’t find a way in.

The only way was to force her way in!

’But forcing my way in would just open a path for the monsters, wouldn’t it?’

She recalled the scene she had just witnessed—the people inside sipping coffee as if they were watching a play.

’Why should I let them have it so easy?’

Chen Xing unleashed her electrical current at maximum power, aiming it directly at the heavy glass doors.

The doors instantly shattered.

The soldiers inside, who had been calmly joking around, panicked and grabbed their guns.

Chen Xing dodged to one side and rolled two grenades across the floor through the entrance.

After a few explosions, a whole group of them was down.

The sound also attracted a large number of Lizard Monsters.

Chen Xing entered the central tower one step ahead of the monsters.

She took the elevator straight to the top.

When the elevator doors opened, Chen Xing found herself facing what looked like a solid wall.

Looking closer, she realized that this "wall" was actually a person—a giant.

’How big?’

Well, from inside the elevator, all Chen Xing could see was a short, stubby leg, and the rest was just... belly.

Chen Xing tried to summon her electricity but found she’d overdone it earlier and had used up what little current she had left.

Just then, the giant’s stomach seemed to retract.

Sensing danger, Chen Xing balled her fists, jumped, and smashed through the elevator’s ceiling, landing on top of the car.

At that moment, the giant’s stomach expanded, completely filling the elevator car.

’Is this thing trying to crush me flat?’

Chen Xing grabbed the elevator’s power cables. Upon contact, the building’s electricity instantly surged into her body.

Once she had stored up enough current, the entire building’s power flickered due to the damaged circuit.

As expected of the Great Commander’s building, the power, which she thought would go out, merely flickered a few times before returning to normal.

Unsure if he had crushed the little thing in the elevator, the giant below retracted his stomach. He slowly lowered his head, only to see a small figure standing inside the elevator car.

She even gave him a smile.

Immediately after, the giant was electrocuted and collapsed to the ground.

Chen Xing stepped over him, intending to search for clues about the Lizard Monsters.

But just then, she saw Carson being pushed into a room around a distant corner.

It was just a glimpse, but Chen Xing was sure it was him!

So, she quickly ran over.

She pushed the door open to a bustling scene. In complete contrast to the hellish carnage outside, this place was like a carnival.

Below a circular railing was a small, round pit that resembled a Beast Fighting Arena.

And it was currently surrounded by a crowd of people.

Some were cheering, some were whistling, and others were throwing stones down into the pit...

Chen Xing’s brow furrowed tightly.

She saw that the Black man who had just been pushed in was not Carson.

He had a similar build to Carson and was now standing by the railing, pleading for something.

His expression was one of pure terror as he shook his head, trying to escape.

The soldiers, completely unmoved, contemptuously shoved him over the railing. ℯ

Chen Xing was too far away to see clearly what was happening down below.

And the spectators above, seeing someone get thrown in, screamed as if they had gone mad.
