World Refresh: I Knew the Inside Info Ahead of Time
Chapter 47: Crushed with One Stomp
Half an hour later, Bear Lord left the survivor base with twenty people. At the same time, Sister Hua and Scar Tiger both received the news and instantly guessed that Bear Lord's grand exit was for the Supernatural Characteristic, so they secretly followed.
Neither wanted Bear Lord to absorb the Supernatural Characteristic and had to find a way to stop him.
One and a half hours later, one mile outside the shopping plaza, corpses littered the ground.
There were no zombie bodies, only human corpses.
Bear Lord's transformed giant black bear had vicious eyes, its claws stained with fresh blood. "You two! Get lost! I'm the Base Leader! As long as I live, you'll never take my position!"
Sister Hua's transformed falcon and Scar Tiger's transformed tiger stood not far away, both bearing wounds of varying severity.
They had lost this operation. They hadn't anticipated that Bear Lord had planted moles in their teams. Before the fight even began, their own comrades had betrayed them, costing them several members.
"You've gotten smarter, learning to play mind games," Sister Hua said.
"Hmph! You absorbed Supernatural Characteristics behind my back. If I didn't wise up, you'd eventually consume me completely! Now get back to base! I'll spare your lives!" Bear Lord growled fiercely.
Scar Tiger said in a deep voice, "You don't have much strength left either."
"Still enough to kill you!"
"But can you still kill the mutated zombie?"
Bear Lord's eyes turned gloomy, burning with furious flames.
If not for their sudden interference, he would have been absolutely confident of taking down the mutated zombie!
So what if the mutated zombie had astonishing defense? He had two packs of explosives!
But with three teams in chaotic combat, blood flowing endlessly, such heavy scent of blood would definitely attract hordes of zombies. The plan to use explosives against the mutated zombie became filled with uncertainty.
Suddenly, Bear Lord thought of something, his expression changing drastically.
Wait! With such heavy blood scent! Why hadn't the mutated zombie come?
Was it afraid?
But what about ordinary zombies? Why hadn't any appeared either!
Thinking this, Bear Lord couldn't suppress his unease and charged toward the shopping plaza. Sister Hua and Scar Tiger exchanged glances and followed closely behind.
As they approached, Bear Lord's pupils constricted sharply. In his vision, rotting flesh mixed with water, buildings on the water surface had enormous cracks, exposed steel reinforcement bars looking like they'd been hit by a hundred-ton truck.
Underwater were piles of unidentifiable shapes, with a few scattered, mutilated zombies roaring beneath the surface. Some only had upper bodies left, others had most of their bodies shattered, leaving just a head and half an arm.
No wonder no zombies had gone to the battlefield—the zombies in the shopping plaza had almost all been wiped out!
Bear Lord prayed internally that the mutated zombie wasn't dead. He searched carefully and finally found the mutated zombie's corpse on a damaged wall. Its head was already gone, its body taller than ordinary zombies, with black skin that had a metallic sheen.
"Who! Who stole my Supernatural Characteristic! I won't rest until you're dead!" Bear Lord roared in fury.
Sister Hua flew in, saw the horrific scene, and said gravely, "The mutated zombie had all its bones crushed by enormous force. Even its strange outer skin couldn't withstand that power. Whoever took the Supernatural Characteristic must be extremely powerful, stronger than all of us. At the very least, we couldn't smash through concrete and steel reinforcement walls!"
"This is too exaggerated. Could this really be done by a human?" Scar Tiger said in shock.
Sister Hua's eyes flickered as she guessed one possibility.
Only that monster could do this!
But why would it come to City G?
"The Prehistoric Colossus! It must be him!"
"Why would he know the mutated zombie's location? Could the Prehistoric Colossus be hiding in the Black Bear Base?"
Bear Lord listened to their conversation, his eyes filled with hatred.
'I'll kill you!'
An hour later, Bear Lord returned to base and immediately sought out the Square-Faced Man, who was enjoying his woman. Enraged, he slapped the Square-Faced Man across the face.
The Square-Faced Man collapsed to the floor. "Boss, why did you hit me?"
"I have questions for you!" Bear Lord said with a tense face, suppressing his anger.
The Square-Faced Man's heart sank. Could something have gone wrong with the mutated zombie situation? Did the boss fail to obtain the Supernatural Characteristic?
Thinking this, he swallowed nervously and asked cautiously, "Boss, what is it?"
"Has anyone strange entered the base recently?"
"What kind of strange?"
"Cold, fierce, doesn't seem like an ordinary survivor."
The Square-Faced Man immediately thought of Li Xuan. "Yes! There is one! Came yesterday! His clothes were very clean, and he carried a large pack of food—all canned meat and self-heating rice! Looked fierce and menacing. When I tried to search him, he directly put a knife to my neck and threatened me!"
Underwater were piles of unidentifiable shapes, with a few scattered, mutilated zombies roaring beneath the surface. Some only had upper bodies left, others had most of their bodies shattered, leaving just a head and half an arm.
Came yesterday?
If it was really this person, did he just arrive and immediately steal his Supernatural Characteristic?
For a moment, Bear Lord was so angry his teeth hurt. "You let someone like that in? Why didn't you report it!"
The Square-Faced Man said quietly, "Boss, you previously said to welcome strong people to join. As long as they don't break base rules after joining, there's no need to report. He just arrived yesterday and hasn't broken any rules, so I couldn't report it."
"He didn't break base rules! But he stole my Supernatural Characteristic!" Bear Lord said through gritted teeth.
What!
The Square-Faced Man was shocked. That guy was so ruthless? He dared to even steal Bear Lord's Supernatural Characteristic!
He unconsciously touched his neck. Thankfully the Bald Soldier had stopped him yesterday, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
"Boss, what should we do? I'll follow your orders."
Bear Lord's eyes revealed killing intent. "No matter how strong he is, he'll have weaknesses! His human form is his biggest vulnerability! After he entered the base, who has he been in contact with?"
"The Minor Celebrity."
"Have the Minor Celebrity poison herself and then go seduce him! I refuse to believe we can't kill him! Use the deadliest poison! After it's done, she can have whatever she wants!" Bear Lord said viciously.
Coo coo~
The sound of pigeon calls entered the room.
"Where did that pigeon come from?" Bear Lord wondered. He hadn't seen any pigeons since the heavy rain began.
The next instant, the building collapsed, an unparalleled force pressing down.
At the critical moment, Bear Lord transformed into a black bear, raising his arms to support the collapsing building. But the strength that overpowered all survivors in the base was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—it didn't even hold for one second.
Crack~
Bones shattered, bone fragments piercing through flesh, exposed to the air.
In his final moments, Bear Lord's brain worked at lightning speed.
It was that pigeon! That was the Prehistoric Colossus's lookout!
Damn it! Why is the Prehistoric Colossus targeting me!
There was no time for further thought as his head was crushed into his chest, flesh and blood bursting apart.
The Square-Faced Man suffered the same fate, dying even faster than Bear Lord.
Outside the building, the Prehistoric Colossus stepped on the ruined structure, speaking in human language with a voice like a great bell, "Falcon! Scar Tiger! Come see me!"
