Chapter 57: 56: Suddenly, the sky lit up.



It's no wonder that even the once confident Hungry Monkey suddenly became somewhat hesitant, for the body size of this siege boss had surpassed Hungry Monkey's understanding.

Standing as tall as a six or seven-story building, this was a giant creature nearly twenty meters high.

Its body was covered in bulging muscles, looking exceedingly robust. Add to that the dense and rotting maggots on its skin, it resembled a supersized tetanus-inflicted excavator.

In its hand, it held a giant mace that was seven or eight meters long, which, in its grasp, appeared no more than a toy.

With each step the boss took, the already cracked wasteland quaked slightly, stirring clouds of dust into the air, like a demon emerging from hell into the night to claim souls.

Such an existence...

Would instill a profound sense of fear in anyone who saw it, wouldn't it?

The reason they were still able to maintain some semblance of rationality was because the giant creature didn't move very fast. It seemed as though they could escape if they simply turned around and ran.

"This..."

Lying behind the hill, Yuan Buping looked towards the giant creature slowly advancing towards them in the night and at the giant mace, feeling a chill on his scalp, he couldn't help but mutter softly, "Getting hit by that thing would leave one black and blue, who could withstand that?"

Even Chen Miao squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a little unsure inside. The monster was simply too large, and he wasn't certain if his Thomson could even inflict any damage on it. Surely, it couldn't be completely impervious.

But since they had already come, how could they just walk away?

Just then—

The sky suddenly darkened, and clouds that had drifted from afar obscured the moon, covering the skies above Fengtian City. The nightly winds that always arrived on time at the Sankui Wasteland also began to pick up.

The atmosphere turned especially bleak and cold.

As if sensing this coldness, Yuan Buping and the others lying behind the hill instinctively held their breath and turned their heads towards Miao, ready to wait for his command.

In truth, they wanted to charge forward. After all, they had spent quite a bit of Miao's money during this period. Not doing something felt like taking money under false pretenses, but... the presence of this giant creature scared away all their courage.

"Sigh."

Chen Miao exhaled softly, standing up from behind the hill and positioning himself at the top. He lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth, letting his black woolen coat flutter up and down with the wind.

He pulled out his Thomson from his bosom, cradled it in his arms with his body leaning slightly back, aimed the muzzle at the giant creature not far away, paused for a moment, and then slowly pulled the trigger.

Meanwhile.

The Fengtian City Government had already organized the first batch of personnel and, in a great hurry, had arrived at the Sankui Wasteland. Thirty-four government vehicles, filled with official supernatural beings, blared their sirens and rushed at top speed to the vicinity of the coordinates.

As soon as they got out of their vehicles, they saw their target, which was all too conspicuous.

A monster, at least seven to eight stories tall, was raising its mace and charging toward a hillock in the night.

From a distance, they could faintly make out a man standing atop that hillock far away from them, showing no sign of evasion or retreat, and seemingly holding a gun in his arms.

The distance was too far, and they couldn't see clearly.

They could only get a rough idea.

But that wasn't important; what mattered was finding the target siege monster.

Fengtian City had a government agency known as the Events Bureau, and this agency had but one task: to be ready at all times to respond to the random events that occurred in Fengtian City, whether at night or during the day.

For this operation, the Deputy Director of the Event Bureau personally led the team.

The middle-aged man dressed in a combat suit was gripping his radio with a slightly urgent tone, bellowing, "Everyone, stay hidden, we have found the siege boss, a civilian has agitated the siege boss, and it is now in a state of frenzy."

"This is our perfect opportunity."

"Group one and two, everyone head behind that hillock and set up the traps. After the boss destroys the hillock, it will continue to advance toward Fengtian City. Group three and four..."

Orders were issued one after another.

No one questioned why they weren't rescuing the civilian. The distance was too great, and even if they were the first targets of a frenzied siege boss, survival was highly unlikely, let alone for a civilian.

Rescue was simply out of the question.

In special random events, there were no immortals.

The Deputy Director of the Western Third Law Enforcement Bureau was also urgently directing the police officers who had come with him, instructing them to prepare the outer perimeter and to prevent any unforeseen incidents. He was responsible for assisting the Deputy Director of the Event Bureau in handling this incident, playing a supportive role as his own people were not directly involved in combat.

But...

Just as countless orders were being issued in an orderly fashion, and as everyone prepared to surround the siege boss spawned by the special event,

The sky suddenly lit up.
