Black Bear Camp descended into chaos and panic, the survivors utterly terrified.

Big!

So incredibly huge!

The Prehistoric Colossus, having absorbed the External Skin Enhancement Characteristic, now displayed metallic scales that shimmered with an unnatural luster. From a distance, it didn't appear to be a normal creature at all, but rather some mechanical monstrosity created by a mad scientist.

"Where did this monster come from! Why did it suddenly appear inside our base!"

A sharp-eyed soldier noticed the Prehistoric Colossus had already trampled Bear Lord's residence and cried out in horror, "Bear Lord! Bear Lord was still inside! It crushed Bear Lord to death!"

"I remember now! It's the Giant Beast! That human-turned-colossus! The monster that fused Tyrannosaurus Rex, Blue Whale, and Quetzalcoatlus genes! The official reports mentioned him! He's the strongest Transformer!" A terrified survivor recalled a fragment of memory and shouted out loud.

The base soldiers stood bewildered, learning of Bear Lord's death, yet none dared to attack the Giant Beast.

The gap was simply too vast - attacking meant certain death. Crucially, their bond with Bear Lord wasn't particularly deep anyway.

Sure, Bear Lord had been generous, frequently gifting his women to subordinates, but could such minor favors ever outweigh their own lives?

Sister Hua emerged from her room upon hearing the commotion, and soldiers immediately reported the situation to her.

A soldier anxiously said, "Sister Hua, you should go over there quickly. The monster is looking for you."

Sister Hua snorted coldly, "He tells me to come, so I should just go? I may not be able to defeat him, but he can't catch me either! What if he has malicious intentions toward me? Wouldn't going to see him be seeking my own death?"

The Prehistoric Colossus had just joined Black Bear Base and already seized Black Bear's Supernatural Characteristic. Clearly, the Giant Beast's purpose here was to obtain more Supernatural Characteristics and grow stronger.

If she chose to meet the Giant Beast, whether it killed her or not, any future Supernatural Characteristics discovered at the base would certainly have nothing to do with her.

She didn't want to stop here - she too wanted to grow stronger! To achieve complete transcendence!

If her individual attributes couldn't match the Giant Beast's, she would use Supernatural Characteristics to close the gap!

Since meeting the Giant Beast offered no benefits whatsoever, why should she go?

The soldier panicked, "Sister Hua, if you don't meet the Giant Beast, what if it gets angry and slaughters the base survivors? You're the deputy base leader - you can't just abandon us, right?"

Smack!

A palm as large as a cattail leaf fan struck the soldier's face with tremendous force. The soldier staggered, nearly falling, a clear palm print emerging on his cheek as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"What gives you the right! How dare you try to guilt-trip me! I fear moral coercion the least! I have no morals to begin with!" Sister Hua laughed coldly.

Morals?

That useless concept had been discarded by her long before the apocalypse even began!

She loved martial arts training, worshipped strength, and firmly believed fists could smash through anything!

But her father didn't want her obsessed with martial arts and arranged a cushy, high-paying job for her.

After working for a month, every day felt identical to the last, with only two days off each week. Boredom and constraint were her only impressions of that job.

She needed freely controllable time for martial arts training! She didn't want to work - she just wanted her father to fund her training!

Such a simple request, yet her father actually refused, turning around to guilt-trip her with questions like "What will you do when we're old?" and "If you don't work to earn money, what will happen to your children?"

In Sister Hua's mind, these were just excuses. "If you're afraid I'll have no money when I'm old, then you should prepare enough money for me in advance! After children are born, isn't there their father? When children grow up, they can support themselves too - why would I need to work to support a family!"

So when the apocalypse erupted, she killed her father first thing - before he could turn into a zombie.

She loved the apocalypse! Loved the law of the strong trampling the weak!

Sister Hua laughed wildly, transforming into a Falcon, flapping her wings as she prepared to escape.

She refused to believe the Prehistoric Colossus would stay forever. Once the Giant Beast left, she would return to seize control of the base!

The struck soldier's eyes turned red with rage as he threw his dagger without hesitation.

Thwack!

The dagger struck Sister Hua's wing, failing to penetrate, but the sudden attack disrupted her balance, delaying her takeoff by a critical moment.

The soldier lunged forward while shouting, "Sister Hua is trying to escape! Quick, grab her! If she gets away, we'll all be killed by the Giant Beast!"

Hearing this, surrounding soldiers immediately sprang into action. Some struck the Falcon's head with clubs while others reached out to grab its wings, preventing it from taking flight.

Furious yet protected by her defensive Supernatural Characteristic, neither daggers nor clubs could injure Sister Hua. However, several people working together prevented her from gaining airborne freedom.

"Get away! You pack of dogs! Let me go! Or I'll kill every last one of you!"

"Brothers! Don't fear her! She won't remain deputy base leader! Let's capture her and offer her to the new base leader!" the soldier who struck first shouted loudly.

Seeing the situation turning against her, Sister Hua transformed back to human form. But before she could use her Baji Quan to break through, quick-eyed soldiers stabbed her several times in the kidneys.

Immediately, blood flowed freely.

Excruciating pain swept through Sister Hua's entire body as massive blood loss left her limbs weak and powerless.

Her pale lips moved faintly, "You... you..."

Shortly afterward, a team of soldiers carried the injured Sister Hua to the base's core area and placed her before the Prehistoric Colossus.

The struck soldier's eyes turned red with rage as he threw his dagger without hesitation.

Other soldiers chimed in agreement, not a single voice raised in opposition.

The base needed a leader, after all, and who wouldn't want a powerful base leader?

Scar Tiger, who had also been forced to come here by the soldiers, couldn't help but laugh aloud. He thought he had it bad, but Sister Hua's situation proved far worse.

"You all have quite the nerve! Aren't you afraid Sister Hua will seek revenge later?" Scar Tiger said.

"She defied the Base Leader's orders! We did nothing wrong!" the soldier stated firmly.

Scar Tiger sneered coldly, "Heh~ How can you ordinary people with no special talents even compare to Sister Hua?"

The soldier swallowed hard, a flicker of regret emerging in his heart.

Indeed, Sister Hua was a Transformer, a rare flying type at that, who had absorbed Supernatural Characteristics. Her value far exceeded theirs.

The next moment, the Giant Beast's claw descended, crushing Sister Hua to death.

Without hesitation.

As if a rare flying Transformer meant nothing at all.

"Scar Tiger, what did you say?" The Giant Beast lowered its head, its Beastly Eye fixed intently on Scar Tiger.

Excruciating pain swept through Sister Hua's entire body as massive blood loss left her limbs weak and powerless.

Two streams of white mist shot from the Giant Beast's nostrils, blowing across Scar Tiger's face.

The tremendous pressure made cold sweat pour down Scar Tiger's forehead. "Base Leader! I was wrong! I said nothing at all."

Shadow fell, completely enveloping Scar Tiger.

Aaaaah!

Scar Tiger screamed in terror, looking up sharply to see the Massive Claw descending toward him!

Boom!

The Massive Claw landed beside Scar Tiger, shaking the ground violently. Scar Tiger stumbled and fell, both terrified and shocked, his forehead already covered in fine beads of sweat.

The Giant Beast's raspy voice emerged, "I don't want there to be a next time."

The Massive Claw slowly lifted, leaving behind a perfectly clear claw imprint on the ground!

"Absolutely no next time!" Scar Tiger replied with utmost seriousness.

If that claw had landed on him, he would have died without question!

Scar Tiger sneered coldly, "Heh~ How can you ordinary people with no special talents even compare to Sister Hua?"

The individual gap was simply too enormous! Crucially, the Giant Beast had also absorbed Supernatural Characteristics, widening the chasm even further!
