CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 283: WAR BREAKS OUT!

Rumble!!

No one in Xilan City expected that the first Abnormal Body to appear after the night would be the corpse of the already deceased Abyss Worm!

Under the immense impact force, half of Central Avenue was instantly leveled, and the black worm corpse shattered. Its frozen flesh and stone fragments were melted by the high temperatures from air friction, shooting hundreds of meters into the sky.

In an instant, billowing smoke and snow waves rose like a nuclear explosion, covering the sky and the sun, resembling a giant smoke bomb!

This feeling of earth trembling and mountains shaking lasted for over a minute. Wen Zhuo led the team in a rapid retreat in the air with a stern expression. Looking at the holographic combat screen, 35 hunting teams, and 3 had disappeared in an instant!

"Team 12, Team 15, Team 29, report your status!"

"Crackle..."

The communication channel was left echoing with static.

At this moment, the remaining members of the 32 hunting teams all had somber expressions.

"Team 12, Captain Zhu Jun was buried by a building, we can’t find him, we still have 4 people left!"

"Team 29, only I managed to escape!"

At this point, voices finally came from the channel, but the bad news kept coming.

Wen Zhuo looked at the light spots on the holographic map, his gaze fierce. He had already considered mobility to deal with the Abyss Worm, but unexpectedly, what confronted them was a corpse falling from high altitude. The massive falling speed caught them off guard.

"How did that worm corpse fall from the sky?!" Qin Xueming was full of horror, as this terrifying scene was something he was seeing for the first time.

"Don’t think, it’s definitely the work of that Cloud Black Thorn," Han Jun said. "Previously, it was dragged outside the northern city; who knew it would be thrown in like this."

"It might not be that simple!"

Wen Zhuo gazed at the horizon, sternly saying, "Don’t you all think this corpse odor is too strong!"

"Yeah, it stinks!" KIKI pinched her nose and frowned.

"When something strange occurs, something unexpected may happen!" Lu Xingchen looked at the entire Central District shrouded in thick smoke, suddenly having a bad premonition.

The shattering and exploding worm corpse emitted high temperatures upon high-speed descent, melting a layer of ice crust on its body. The massive impact raised a blood wave and corpse tissue, spreading a tremendous stench over a radius of several kilometers.

It’s practically a biochemical weapon!

At this time, the ongoing underground tremors came with another strange noise from the sky.

Sounds like a churning sea of clouds or a vibrating sand bell!

Soon, a dense black tide surged from above the clouds. Upon looking, they discovered it wasn’t Winged Demons, but some smaller creatures, resembling some kind of... crow.

KIKI and Lu Xingchen both changed their expressions upon seeing it.

"Oh no, it’s Zombie Crows!"

This scene from the Abnormal Body made KIKI’s heartbeat slow a beat; how could the Zombie Crows of Jiazhou City appear here?

"These creatures carry parasitic lineworms that can devour steel. They’re extremely difficult to deal with and can only be countered with fire," Lu Xingchen said seriously.

"What!?" Han Jun and Qin Xueming spoke upon hearing this: "Where did they come from?!"

Wen Zhuo immediately communicated with the three defensive lines.

"Everyone, attention, it’s a swarm of Zombie Crows. Use fire attacks; the parasites can devour steel!"

At this moment, whether it was Zhao Yu, He Zhen, Xiao He, or members of the Survivor Caravan, all felt a chill. They had prepared to confront Snow Demon Snow Demon Winged Demons, but unexpectedly, the first to appear was another kind of Dark Creature.

This creature could even easily dismantle their steel defense line!

"Is it the corpse odor of that worm attracting them?!"

"It’s no longer important, Brother Lu, use fire quickly!"

"Divine · Brahma!"

Without a word, Lu Xingchen rushed with intense fire. With his hands unleashing flames covering the sky, he almost lit up several blocks. KIKI gritted her teeth, following up to see the massive blaze in the sky, as Telekinesis Waves soared up like rising blaze and clouds covering the sky!

Crash!

In an instant, the enormous flame clouds ignited an explosive reaction within the swarm of Zombie Crows, causing a chain reaction. The skyline erupted like a burning, brilliant galaxy, immediately incinerating the sky in flame clouds.

"Quick! Flame throwers, at the sky!"

"Be careful of those crows!"

"Prepare incendiary bombs!"

"Aaaaahhh!!"

From all directions, Zombie Crows surged in like tides, entering through every gap, emitting piercing cries, and flew toward places with living people like raindrops.

Within just a few minutes, massive numbers of car formations and living people across each line began being devoured. Barbed wire, steel walls, metal barriers, and barricades were melting at a visually discernible speed. On the side of Northern City Airport, a civilian plane’s body was half-devoured in half a minute, and the surviving defense personnel inside turned to bone and ashes without uttering a scream.

At this moment, the defensive lines at East City, Northern City, and Southern City watched the flying black Zombie Crows. Various flame throwers and missiles launched with a boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In three directions of Xilan City, the brilliantly burning flame cloud rose slowly to the sky.

"Quick, use fire, these things will react in a chain!"

"Ignite them all!!"

"Ah! Dad! Mom!!"

"Hurry, save them!"

"Don’t go over, there are parasites!!"

"Someone’s on fire, put it out quickly!"

"Flamethrowers! Flamethrowers!"

Rumble!

The underground was shaking and trembling. Wen Zhuo listened to the situation across various lines through the channel with a solemn face.

"Be careful, that worm is also underground in Xilan City!!"

Wen Zhuo looked at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum in his hand and then gazed eastward. The seismic waves were rapidly approaching.
