Chapter 909 The End Of The World!

Alex's face twitched. She couldn't stand wasting one more second, watching this asshole justify his ridiculous actions. "Shut the hell up. That's enough."

She removed her sword from her back and swung the huge weapon down in an executioner style right in front of everyone.

Zhu Huang jutted his chest out and closed his eyes like a martyr who was being wronged unfairly.

According to him, he did everything right, and from his heart, so there was no reason for him to fear death. So he willingly accepted his death. 

At this point, only a miracle could save him. 

Even if the people in front of him did not agree, God knows everything that happened. In his final moment, he said a prayer and waited for the sword to strike him down.

He really looked like a hero who was sacrificing himself. Alex scoffed at this and brought down her sword. However, the next instant…

Rumble Rumble

And to everyone's surprise… Alex's sword had swung, and yet Zhu Huang was still alive. He was spared!

Before anyone could process what had just happened… all of a sudden, the earth underneath them started shaking violently, making Alex startled, lose her balance and miss her target.

Hmmm? She looked up to see that the sky had drastically changed. 

The winds started picking up speed out of nowhere. Lightning crackled everywhere, and deafening thunder resounded in her ears. As they were standing on an elevated hilly road, she could even see some distant tornadoes threatening to rip everything apart.

Everyone was shocked.

"What…" Alex blankly stared as this brought back memories of the very first day everything had gone down. Not just to her but also to everyone else. 

It was fairly obvious as things had gone from 0 to 100 in under a second. Something like this couldn't be natural. What the hell was going on here?

As everyone looked around, Alex was the first to understand. It took her a second, but she realized what was happening. 

The next wave of the apocalypse was here?!

As if confirming her fears, the ground nearby started splitting apart. There were not just tremors, the thing was actually splitting into two or rather four? How could the ground itself shift like this?

Alex struck the ground with her sword and held on tightly. Everyone else tried to stabilize themselves as well. 

While they were still in this shock, the world around them did not plan on waiting for them. Everything continued to worsen, and the ground further split apart. A deep chasm emerged

And from within this deep chasm, something small popped out.

What the hell?

In a matter of seconds, this small protrusion became bigger and bigger right in front of everyone's eyes. 

It continued growing as if it did not intend to stop until the chasm was no longer visible, and instead, a huge hill stood tall. Everything had happened so fast that it felt as if the thing had simply appeared out of nowhere.

Alex gulped. Rey, Judah, Lan Deming, and Hao Yuze were also equally shocked.

On the other side, Zhu Huang snapped out of his trance first. Not because he had a fast response speed but because he had prayed for a miracle, and it looked like he had somehow actually received one?!

He quickly got up to scurry away to safety, using this as a distraction. The other military men, tightly bound and captured, also followed his lead and attempted to do the same.

Currently, they were on the roads, but behind the hill, there was a dense forest, and that would be their path of escape. He signaled his men, and everyone understood the plan.

They quickly began making their move and started running for their lives. For some reason, no one from the other team seemed to be intent on chasing them, but they did not care about it at the moment. 

They just wanted to get the hell out of here. Everything else could always be worked out at a later time. So even though they were badly beaten up and bruised, the group continued to give it their all and scattered like rats fleeing from their traps.

Unfortunately for them… the reality was not that kind. They had only barely taken a few steps when Zhu Huang suddenly stopped. He stood frozen, not moving anymore.

Everyone turned to see what had happened and why their general was not running away along with them, but as soon as they turned around, they were met with a blood-curdling sight.

Their military general no longer had a head!

"I… I…" Zhu Huang stammered. He couldn't believe that he was dead. He did not want to accept it. Where was his miracle? Where was his mercy?

His head slowly dropped down, cleanly severed from his body. 

It fell lifelessly on the ground as he stared at something vicious and unholy. Standing in front of him was a creature that was half his height but looked like something straight from hell.

It had slit-like yellow eyes that scanned his dead body from top to bottom without any remorse. Six sharp wings that looked like metal scales glittered at the back of the insect, and there was a huge stinger at the back that was dripping with some sort of liquid.

His eyes lastly landed on the creature's mouth, which had several weird structures, including two prominent pincers. His blood was dripping from these pincers.

Just what in the name of hell was this creature? 

That was the last thought that crossed his mind as Zhu Huang couldn't help but feel a sense of peace even in this death that he did not want. 

At least this was the worst he was seeing. He did not have to face what was coming next as everything seemed to be getting only worse and worse.

However, as opposed to what he was feeling, the other military men turned pale. They were still alive after all, and they had a look of dread plastered uniformly plastered on all of their faces.

While Zhu Huang had only seen one such creature before dying a gruesome death, these soldiers were witnessing something else entirely different.

Just one creature? 

No, unfortunately, it did not stop there!

Everyone gasped in shock and terror as they saw the impossible happening. There were dozens and dozens of these creatures lined up in front of them.

And it did not stop even there. 

More were still coming out of the hill that looked more like a hill-shaped hive at the moment.

As if this was not enough, one more unbelievable scene waited for them. Their military general, who had fallen, had several antennas stuck to his body.

It looked like the creature that had killed him was not done with him yet. Like a mosquito sucking blood, this creature was sucking something from his body and his head.

Everyone gulped in fear as they watched the insect, if they could even call it that. What the hell was happening? 

This was all too much to take in for them. They had come here to claim a base but now, this…? How could everything change so quickly?

Right in front of them, the dead man became a dry husk. It was as if he had once again suffered another death after his first death.

However, no one had time to think or worry about it at the moment. They did not even have the time to say a prayer. 

The insect creatures not only looked ungodly, but they also were very fast. They shot forward in all directions. The few people who tried to run were all mercilessly sliced and diced.

Another one then gathered this minced meat and once again started absorbing the juices or something from the flesh heap.

Everyone was utterly terrified. Shouts started echoing everywhere. There was only chaos and confusion in the vicinity. 

Some soldiers who still had their firearms tried to use their firearms against these insects. Surprisingly, they managed to do some damage. They made holes in the wings, drew some blood, and even scared a few away with the sound of the bullets.

However, they were far too disturbed to aim carefully. They were simply firing in all directions. They might as well be shooting with their eyes closed. Whatever damage they did was by fluke.

So even if the firearms were able to do some damage to the creatures, it was useless. No one was in their right mind to properly attack and take down these creatures.

The sheer number of these things pouring out of the hive hill was overwhelming and made them senseless. They were swarmed from all sides with no way out.

Soldiers were falling to their deaths left and right. Heaps of human meat piled up everywhere. 

The situation was turning worse every second, and it looked like there was no way out of this hell. How could anyone survive this? This was the end of the world!
