At the same time, the multiple supernatural characteristics within the Giant Beast produced a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts, further strengthening its body and increasing its toughness.

The Constitution Enhancement Characteristic, Expansion Characteristic, Strength Characteristic, Speed Characteristic, and External Skin Enhancement Characteristic—these five characteristics interacted, continuously driving the enhancement of the Giant Beast's physique.

While Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised, he also sensed a void;

the five characteristics were still incomplete. He needed a few more characteristics to form the perfect comprehensive body enhancement characteristic.

'Organ Enhancement, Defense Enhancement, Bone Enhancement... aside from these three, are there others?' Li Xuan murmured inwardly.

The battle between the two giant beasts ended extremely quickly. Many soldiers in the base were still focused on dealing with the zombies. It wasn't until their comrades cried out in shock and they looked up that they realized the mutated colossal squid was dead.

"Dead? So fast! The mutated colossal squid that could withstand multiple rocket hits died just like that?" a soldier exclaimed in surprise.

"We contributed to that. The mutated colossal squid lost half its body and all its tentacles;

its combat power was weakened to the extreme. But it's undeniable that the Prehistoric Colossus is incredibly powerful. It easily destroyed the underground parking garage. Even if the mutated colossal squid was intact, it wouldn't stand a chance against the Prehistoric Colossus;

it would just die a little later."

"When the apocalypse first broke out, I saw a video of the Prehistoric Colossus. I never imagined it would be this powerful now."

"Is the support the Team Leader mentioned... him?"

After the Prehistoric Colossus absorbed the supernatural characteristics, it charged into the Zombie Horde, killing frenziedly. Wherever its claws passed, zombies were cut in half at the waist. A casual step could crush several zombies to death. A swing of its tail shattered zombie blood and bones. Some zombies with sturdier bodies were sent flying a hundred meters high upon being hit, crashing to the ground and merging with it.

The Prehistoric Colossus was like a killing machine. In no time, the number of zombies killed by it exceeded a thousand.

After carving a path through the Zombie Horde, the Prehistoric Colossus turned around and continued its slaughter.

Inside the base, the girl called the Bear King watched the Prehistoric Colossus wreak havoc and became incredibly excited. She immediately activated her transformation ability, morphing into a tall brown bear.

Her teammates saw this and were greatly alarmed, urgently trying to stop her, "Bear King! Calm down! Don't go!"

The Bear King seemed not to hear and charged out directly. Her massive bear claws swiped, instantly exploding a zombie's head.

Roar!

"Awesome! Fighting! So awesome!"

At that moment, more zombies surged forward, countless hands grabbing at the brown bear, teeth tearing.

The Bear King had obtained the Defense Enhancement Characteristic and was also wearing special armor that could resist zombie bites and scratches.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

After successively smashing three zombie heads, the Bear King grew even more excited.

After losing count of how many zombie heads she had crushed, the Bear King's excitement vanished completely, replaced by extreme discomfort. Zombies surrounded her. She was very strong, but there were too many zombies, restricting her ability to use her strength effectively.

Suppressing her discomfort, the Bear King continued killing.

Slowly, she felt the pressure lessen significantly.

Looking up, she realized the Prehistoric Colossus had fought its way back. It carved through the Zombie Horde with ease, killing zombies like crushing ants. In contrast, she had been surrounded by zombies the moment she stepped out, unable to advance, forced to kill zombies standing in place. The difference in their power was glaringly obvious.

"You are so strong!"

"You're not bad either."

Li Xuan had noticed the girl who transformed into a brown bear earlier. She was quite capable, having killed dozens of zombies and still having strength to spare, especially since she did it within the Zombie Horde.

Her future achievements wouldn't be low either!

Yesterday, Li Xuan had come across intelligence about her.

[Rage of the Bear King: The 'Bear King' from Z City's official base will awaken a dual Supernatural Characteristic during the second version. Her first Supernatural Characteristic is B-grade Fury Incarnation. After activating this Supernatural Characteristic, the greater her anger, the more her physique improves. When her anger reaches a certain threshold, she can temporarily master the power of flames.

Her second Supernatural Characteristic is B-grade Unyielding Heart. After activation, her recovery ability is greatly enhanced. Each time she is injured, her strength attribute increases slightly.

By the mid-second version, the Bear King becomes a renowned powerhouse, guarding Z City's official base. She repels over a dozen General-grade mutated beasts, kills thousands of Elite-grade mutated beasts, and participates in multiple operations to besiege Lord-grade mutated beasts.

Towards the end of the version, the Bear King receives an invitation to participate in the siege of the Legendary-grade mutated animal 'Earth Dragon'. Unfortunately, she dies under the Earth Dragon's breath attack.]

From this intelligence, he gleaned some new information about the second version.

In the future, people categorize mutated beasts into grades. Currently known grades, from low to high, are: Elite-grade, General-grade, Lord-grade, and Legendary-grade.

The Bear King possesses dual B-grade Supernatural Characteristics and is a famous powerhouse, yet she cannot single-handedly kill a Lord-grade mutated beast.

This gives an idea of how powerful mutated beasts become in the second version!

Refreshed alongside the Bear King's intelligence was another piece.

[Bloodthirsty Demon King: Xue Lian, a Survivor from O City, awakens an A+-grade Supernatural Characteristic called Bloodthirst during the second version. This Supernatural Characteristic allows her to grow stronger by absorbing blood and killing living beings. Naturally timid, she is forced by her brother to kill after awakening this powerful Supernatural Characteristic. Gradually, Xue Lian realizes that her brother pushes her to kill and fight not because he wants her to have self-protection ability, but simply because he wants to become a high-ranking official in the base, thus forcing her to kill.

By the mid-version, Xue Lian can no longer endure her brother's oppression and leaves O City's official base, wandering the wilderness alone. All mutated beasts and people who try to kill Xue Lian are killed by her. Slowly, people begin to call Xue Lian the 'Bloodthirsty Demon King', spreading rumors that she takes pleasure in killing, is inherently heartless and unrighteous, and can even abandon her own biological brother.

Towards the end of the version, Xue Lian is invited to participate in the siege of the Legendary-grade mutated animal 'Earth Dragon'. During the operation, she and over a dozen other powerhouses ambush the Earth Dragon, achieving significant results. However, facing the enraged Earth Dragon, Xue Lian holds out for only one minute before being defeated. At the moment of her death, she unleashes all her power, blinding the Earth Dragon in its left eye.]

Compared to the Bear King, Xue Lian is much stronger. Her Supernatural Characteristic is simple and direct: kill to become stronger, similar to leveling up by killing monsters in a game, making it one of the easiest Supernatural Characteristics to understand.

Yet, even Xue Lian is no match for the Earth Dragon. Her ambush only wounds the Earth Dragon, failing to inflict serious damage.

The Earth Dragon's power is astonishing.

Furthermore, from these two pieces of intelligence, one can infer that the authorities, for some unknown reason, are very keen on killing the Earth Dragon, gathering many powerful individuals.

The ambush team alone consists of over a dozen powerhouses, including someone like Xue Lian with an A+-grade Supernatural Characteristic. The other members likely include individuals not inferior to Xue Lian.

Xue Lian ultimately dies. The fate of the others goes without saying.At the same time, the multiple supernatural characteristics within the Giant Beast produced a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts, further strengthening its body and increasing its toughness.
