Tilapia suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation, "The two mutated zombies are fighting! Get ready!"

The water surface began to ripple, growing increasingly turbulent.

Crocodile scratched his head, "Something's wrong, these ripples are too big. I think I hear really loud water sounds too."

"Could there be a third mutated zombie?" Water Snake speculated.

Tilapia pointed toward the water surface ahead to the left, "There! Such a huge shadow! There's something underneath! Something super massive!"

The group looked in that direction, instantly breaking out in goosebumps. An enormous dark shadow moved beneath the water, like a monster that could only exist in giant creature films.

"What is that thing!"

"It's moving toward the mutated zombies!"

Boom!

Water exploded upward in a spray reaching dozens of meters high as part of the monster's body surfaced, its blue-black scales resembling meticulously crafted human armor.

The shadow charged into the zombie horde like a sharp sword cleaving through the heavenly gates, mercilessly crushing any zombies blocking its path.

Roar!

The giant beast surfaced, raising its head and roaring toward the sky.

Zombies underwater went berserk, swarming to the surface to reveal their heads while screaming at the colossal creature.

Some zombies climbed onto the beast's body, frantically biting but unable to penetrate its scaly armor.

The giant beast swung its tail, reducing struck zombies to pulp that hit the water surface and created waves over ten meters high.

In countless people's eyes, these dangerous zombies were being scattered like building blocks by the giant beast, limbs flying everywhere.

The five team members stood dumbfounded, utterly shocked.

"It's the Prehistoric Colossus! Wasn't it in R City! Why did it come here!"

"Not good! It's grabbing our target! It came for the mutated zombies!"

Crocodile hurriedly grabbed his walkie-talkie, "Team Leader! The Prehistoric Colossus suddenly appeared! It grabbed Security Guard!"

"What? The Prehistoric Colossus! Is it alone?"

"No companions spotted."

"Rescue it! Its skin can't completely defend against zombie bites. If surrounded by zombies, it risks infection!" The team leader quickly made a decision.

?

Huh?

We're going to rescue the Prehistoric Colossus?

This is like asking a tiger to save a monster being beaten up by Ultraman.

They're not even in the same weight class. How are we supposed to rescue it?

Crocodile's mouth twitched, "Team Leader, no rescue needed! This Prehistoric Colossus is different from before - it's grown a layer of blue-black scales that zombies can't bite through."

Silence came from the other end for a moment, "Improvise based on circumstances. Find a way to keep the Prehistoric Colossus here, preserve Security Guard's supernatural power, and try to persuade the Prehistoric Colossus to join us."

Each task kept getting harder than the last. Might as well go rescue the Prehistoric Colossus instead.

Crocodile cursed inwardly, then turned to Alligator Gar, "Weren't you really confident in yourself? The task of keeping the Prehistoric Colossus here is yours now."

Alligator Gar snorted but said nothing.

How was he supposed to keep the Prehistoric Colossus here with his head?

Just then, the Prehistoric Colossus crushed the mutated zombie's head in its hand, picked up the tiny supernatural characteristic with its massive claw, and swallowed it whole.

Before it swallowed, Crocodile shouted "Wait!" but the Prehistoric Colossus didn't stop.

After obtaining the new supernatural characteristic, the Prehistoric Colossus showed no obvious changes. It charged into the water, shook off the zombies on its body, and directly pursued the fleeing Strength mutated zombie.

Crack crack crack~

The Prehistoric Colossus advanced violently, crushing all zombies blocking its path. Its speed had become faster than before, quickly catching up to the Strength mutated zombie.

Its enormous claw reached out, heading straight for the Strength mutated zombie.

The Strength mutated zombie roared, commanding zombies to charge at the Colossus's claw to buy time for its escape.

Thump thump thump~

Ordinary zombies were pierced through by the giant beast's sharp claws, skewered like candied hawthorn berries.

The Strength mutated zombie swung both arms, blocking the giant beast's claw. Its muscles, far stronger than ordinary zombies, bulged high, unleashing power sufficient to overturn a small car.

Human bodies have self-protection limitations that prevent muscles from unleashing 100% of their power. Zombies lack this concept and can completely release their power limitations, unleashing 100% of their strength.

Ordinary zombies cannot achieve this due to lack of intelligence, but mutated zombies can. The Strength mutated zombie especially awakened with strength supernatural characteristics, unleashing power far exceeding other mutated zombies.

Power kept rising as the mutated zombie felt it could flip over the giant beast before it.

The next instant, the giant beast's other claw came down.

The Strength mutated zombie had no extra hands to block and was smashed into a pancake.

The Prehistoric Colossus picked out the strength supernatural characteristic from the pancake and swallowed it without hesitation.

A scorching sensation emerged from within its body. The reaction from the strength supernatural characteristic far exceeded the previous two supernatural characteristics. Blood rushed rapidly throughout its body, muscles burning hot, as if it had swallowed not a supernatural characteristic but a ball of fire.

The bulky belly gradually flattened, muscles growing increasingly larger, various body parts becoming more proportionate. This made the Prehistoric Colossus appear less like a pieced-together monster and more like a natural creature.

The strength supernatural characteristic and adaptation supernatural characteristic produced a special reaction in Li Xuan. He could feel his strength multiplying at a terrifying rate while his body didn't grow larger. Instead, with the disappearance of his belly, he even appeared somewhat smaller.

He was evolving! His genes were becoming perfect!

Blue whales are giant creatures that live in the ocean, unsuitable for prolonged survival in freshwater. Because Li Xuan had simultaneously absorbed Tyrannosaurus Rex and Quetzalcoatlus genes, his transformed giant beast could move in freshwater and even on land, though he still experienced discomfort.

Li Xuan had been suppressing this discomfort before, but now it was slowly disappearing.

On the apartment rooftop, Crocodile observed through binoculars, "He's emerging! Such big changes! He's become much thinner, but his muscles are larger! His form looks more pleasing than before!"

"Big brother! Why are you excited? His big changes came from swallowing our targets! Now none of us can obtain the supernatural power."

Crocodile snapped back to reality. Right, why was he excited? He should be furious instead.

The organization worked hard to attract two mutated zombies, only to have the Prehistoric Colossus steal the prize.

"Quick! Get on the jet skis! Chase after him!"

The team quickly mobilized, riding jet skis with throttles cranked to maximum, riding the waves while pursuing the Prehistoric Colossus.

Li Xuan noticed the group. His transformation time was almost up, and he didn't want to expose himself yet. He needed to shake them off quickly.

After obtaining intelligence last night, he, Yun Xiuzhi, and Huo Lingling had a big meal before setting out overnight. Time was too tight—he had less than a day left.

First using the jet ski, then transforming into the giant beast to travel had consumed massive stamina. After obtaining the supernatural characteristics, his body evolution consumed enormous energy again. His hunger had almost reached its limit.

"Keep chasing! Die!" Li Xuan spoke, his voice extremely loud, carrying far across the water.

Crocodile produced a megaphone from somewhere, shouting loudly, "Buddy! Let's talk this through! We're the official rescue team from H City! We have many things to discuss with you! Give us some face!"

"It's not time for us to make contact yet! I'm keeping these two supernatural characteristics!"

Boom!

The giant tail slammed against the water surface, creating massive waves that blocked the pursuers.

Crocodile and the others were forced to stop. By the time the waves dissipated, the giant beast had become merely a black dot in their vision.

Water Snake asked, "Big brother, not chasing anymore?"

Crocodile shook his head, "Not chasing. I'm afraid if we keep pursuing, that giant tail won't hit the water surface next time—it'll land on our heads."

The simple tail swing from the giant beast carried unimaginable power, enough to crush them to death.

The individual difference was too great.

Especially since the giant beast had now obtained strength supernatural power.

"Drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain," Water Snake sighed.

"Not completely in vain. The Prehistoric Colossus at least proved one thing to us—transformers can absorb multiple supernatural powers. Though he seems to call them supernatural characteristics," Crocodile said.

"Big brother, you certainly know how to comfort yourself."

"Regardless, he's human. We're all the same species. To survive the apocalypse, we need the strength of our species. I have a premonition that humans from various places will eventually unite to resist the apocalypse together," Crocodile said firmly.

Alligator Gar looked utterly unwilling. Originally according to plan, he could have seized the strength supernatural power, thus becoming the ace of H City's rescue team and obtaining better treatment.

Now everything had been ruined by the Prehistoric Colossus.
