Chapter 733: Chapter 584 Chaos (First Update)

Within the refuge, Su Mo and the others quietly hid.

Time passed excruciatingly slowly, making the ordeal feel interminable, while outside, the sounds of battle did not diminish but grew more intense instead.

Su Mo’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter, nearly twisting into a knot—it truly was a case of whatever he feared would come to pass.

“What’s wrong?”

Rose noticed that Su Mo’s expression seemed somewhat off and asked.

“I have a bad feeling about this, tell Mina and the others to get ready. We’ll evacuate if things go south.”

Su Mo spoke in a low voice. In his mind, he could clearly see a large red dot moving rapidly in their direction. The Type III Black Thorn Insect had indeed been drawn here by the fleeing crowds.

After hearing this, Rose nodded without wasting any words.

Outside the refuge, the Type III Black Thorn Insect chased after the fleeing masses, slaughtering them along the way.

At that moment, the garrison soldiers responsible for guarding the refuge saw what was happening and urgently called for help on the communications channel.

“This is Refuge Point No. 19, we are under attack by a Type III Black Thorn Insect, request immediate support!”

Following that, the leading captain yelled to a soldier behind him, “Adi, close the refuge’s passage entrance right now!”

“But, Captain, there are still so many people who haven’t made it inside.”

“That’s an order!”

“Yes, sir!”

Adi gritted his teeth and ran, pulling down the built-in closing switch, and the solid alloy doors began to rapidly descend.

“Let us in.”

Some of the desperate refugees shouted as they ran toward the refuge.

Sadly, it was too late—the refuge was completely sealed.

At that moment, the soldiers in charge, with no thought of retreat, raised their weapons. The leading captain, operating the Iron Guard Mecha, roared.

“For the Yanas Kingdom! Charge!”

The people charged toward the attacking Black Thorn Insect.

Beams of light and a barrage of bullets hit the body of the Black Thorn Insect.

The Type III Black Thorn Insect endured the attacks and directly flapped its wings, charging straight at the Iron Guard coming toward it.

Its sharp claws easily penetrated the chest of the Iron Guard Mecha, grabbing the captain inside the cockpit and tearing him out.

It then extended its tongue and wrapped it around the garrison captain.

“Let me go, you damned insect.”

The captured garrison captain struggled incessantly, but it was futile.

The Black Thorn Insect’s tongue coiled, swallowing him whole.

Crunch~crack!

A chewing sound followed, and blood paired with a pitiful scream spilled from its mouth.

“Captain!”

The other soldiers present, their eyes red with rage, screamed and shot frantically at the Black Thorn Insect.

Soon, the fierce head of the Black Thorn Insect turned to look at the other people attacking it.

…..

Inside the refuge, everyone crouched and trembled, no one daring to speak, listening quietly to the noise outside.

A few minutes passed.

The chaotic noise of the battle outside gradually subsided.

“The monster seems to have left?”

“Are we safe now?”

A Yanas resident asked, still shaken.

“It seems to have gone.”

…..

Rose instinctively looked at Su Mo. At some point, she began to rely on him inexplicably, seeking his opinion involuntarily.

At that moment, Su Mo shook his head and also put his finger to his lips, making a silencing gesture.

Rose’s heart skipped a beat!

The next second, boom! The entire refuge shook violently, the alloy structure above their heads quivered intensely, and countless particles of dust fell.

“Ah!”

Many of the Yanas Kingdom civilians hiding within let out cries of terror.

At this time, children like Little Mila were also crying out in fear, with Mina holding them tight and comforting them.

“It’s okay.”

Boom~

Another massive explosion, the entire alloy structure at the top once again violently shook.

“Damn it, they’ve targeted us here,”

Rose realized, her expression suddenly changing as she spoke.

“Don’t panic, don’t lose order, the structure here is so strong, it shouldn’t be so easily destroyed. Hold on a while longer, support will soon arrive,”

Su Mo calmly replied.

However, the Type III Black Thorn Insect kept attacking the top like it had gone mad.

Boom~~

Every person present felt their heart rise to their throat, all silently hoping that the monster attacking here would give up on this spot.

The severe shaking kept on coming, the alloy frames above were severely deformed, even the best defenses couldn’t withstand such destruction.

Following that, crashing sounds ensued, and pieces of deformed alloy plates and frames fell down.

In an instant, they hit groups of people who had not managed to dodge in time.

Then an ugly head burrowed in!

“Ah!”

Seeing the head of the Black Thorn Insect burrowing through, one by one the civilians screamed in terror, some even fainted on the spot.

At that moment, the burrowing Black Thorn Insect’s mouth, like a syringe, struck down directly.

Just like shooting stars, it struck one target after another with precision.

Its tongue swiftly lashed out, engulfing them all into its belly.

In no time, everyone was fleeing in terror.

“Escape to the corners!”

Su Mo, carrying a child, ran to the side.

Since the structure here was exceptionally sturdy, even if a Type III Black Thorn Insect put all its effort into destroying it, it only just managed to make a small hole, its massive body couldn’t get through.

It could only stick its head through, its range of attack was very limited.

Just then, amidst a rocking explosion…

Some extremely frightened people forcibly opened an exit.

“Run for it!”

Instantly, crowds swarmed towards the escape.

But with so many people trying to rush out at once, there was no doubt it would cause severe crowding and trampling.

Desperate cries and calls for help filled the air everywhere.

“Save me, don’t step on me.”

…

Su Mo touched his forehead, things were troublesome now, people had already run out. But he had nothing to say, under the current circumstances, whatever he did seemed wrong, dead either way, maybe there was a slim chance of survival if they ran out.

However, thinking back, Su Mo had thought that the evacuation in the Black Brilliance had been chaotic enough, yet the order in the Yanas Kingdom was even worse.

But on second thought, it was normal, these civilians of the Yanas Kingdom were probably the most realistic ones.

“What do we do now?”

Mina asked in some panic.

Su Mo took a quick look and said, “Don’t go out yet, wait a little longer.”

It wasn’t that Su Mo didn’t want to lead them out; if it was just him and Rose, without a second thought, they’d break out.

But now, with so many children, rushing out like this?

They could be trampled to death by their own people first; stampede incidents were no joke.

And Su Mo had also noticed that the Type III Black Thorn Insect, seeing the hidden food running out, immediately shifted its hunting target, retracting its head and charging toward the civilians who had escaped.

In an instant, outside there rose terrified screams of horror.

In no time, the civilians who had fled outwards, many terrified, ran back.

They collided directly with the crowd that was trying to escape.

“Let me in!”

…

The scene was simply chaotic to the extreme.

“Big brother, I’m scared,”

Little Mila clung to Su Mo’s neck in fear.

“It’s okay,”

Su Mo reassured her as best as he could, and he wasn’t too flustered; in fact, he was very calm and composed.

Rose couldn’t help but give a few more glances to Su Mo, admiring his psychological quality even more. Perhaps this was talent, some people just became calmer the more dangerous the situation.
