Chapter 53: Gene banshees

Bang!!Thwoop!

Bang!!

Thwoop!

Controlling the A-22G3, Eric stabbed the long metal legs into the bodies of several behemoth worm monsters.

These giant worm creatures that were no smaller than the land carrier itself and had wide mouths filled with razor-sharp teeth were immediately covered in gaping holes under the assault of Eric's driving.

Loud screeching sounds filled the air while the green slimy liquid, which was these monsters' blood, gushed all over the place.

They had stumbled upon these monsters on their search and realized that this was the territory of these giant worms, the members of the group remained in the cabin and just watched as Eric massacred the entire swarm of monsters using the land carrier alone.

These monsters had green skins which made them capable of hiding in forest areas and their bodies were as tough as steel that one would need to be at least at the True King rank to be able to deal damage to them, adding to their size and insane abilities; it would have been a tough battle for the team considering that they had ran not into just one of these monsters but a whole swarm of them.

Luckily, they just happened to have a special land carrier that could be used as a war mecha! None of the members had to do anything, and they just watched from the cabin; the fight was over in just five minutes!

"Hehe, feel the might of a super land carrier!" Eric laughed crazily while controlling the A-22G3 to stomp over the dead bodies of the worms, creating more holes in them and causing loud noises.

Pah!

"Focus"

Vlad smacked his head and snorted, Eric muttered a sorry while chuckling.

Ignoring him, Vlad opened the communication link with other land carriers.

"What's the situation?" he asked.

Vlad could hear sounds of fighting from the links of the various land carriers, so it was apparent that they had run into some monsters as well; since none of them were close to Eric's level of controlling the land carrier, they would need to fight whatever monster that they encountered themselves.

"All clear, we ran into some monsters but the other members are currently dealing with it and should be done soon"

"We just finished with some rock golems and will be reaching the 100 meters mark shortly"

"We have yet to encounter anything, our location isn't far from the 200 meters mark"

….

Each group gave reports of their situation; some had needed to fight or were still fighting, while some had yet to encounter any troubles; in conclusion, everything was going smoothly, and they would all meet up soon if nothing changed.

" Alright, keep advancing," Vlad replied before cutting off the link. "Forward," he turned to Eric and said.

Thwoop!

Thwoop!

Eric resumed control and the land carrier began walking forward once more, but they had barely moved for over fifty meters through the forest when a strange scene suddenly unfolded before them.

From behind huge trees, large groups of people suddenly began to appear. These people looked like ordinary citizens and were not Nexulytes; they were dressed in ordinary clothing but looked miserable in them.

Blood stains, tears, and dried mud made their clothes unbearable to look at; the people were also equally dirty and looked like they had not taken a bath for years.

They ranged from children at the age of nine to elderly at the age of seventy, men and women; they all looked like refugees, and their numbers quickly crossed a hundred as they formed a large crowd in front of the two land carriers.

The two land carriers immediately came to a stop upon seeing these people who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, every member had a frown on their face as they stared at the pitiful faces of these people from their cabins.

This continent was abandoned during the early years of the appearance of the dreamscape, which was over four hundred years ago. The entire continent had been overtaken by monsters so how could so many people appear here?

Could there really have been survivors?

"Vlad…" Jack called out, turning to look at him.

Vlad was staring at the people from inside the cabin with expressionless eyes, he thought for a few seconds before opening a communication link to the other land carrier that was following along with them.

The ten land carriers had been divided into groups of five, with two land carriers in each group, so naturally, Vlad's group also had two land carriers, and the True King in charge of the other land carriers was someone who Vlad was familiar with.

"Bella put Koblack through," Vlad said coldly through the communication link.

There was brief silence from the other side; those who were familiar with Vlad already knew what would happen next. Jack and Eric also turned to look at him with helpless eyes.

Sounds of footsteps came from the other side after a moment of silence before the voice of Koblack came through.

"What's the matter, kid?" Koblack asked through the communication link.

The entire team heard this and Eric could not help but click his tongue while Jack facepalmed.

'This Koblack was just asking for it, calling your superior, kid? Could one be more disrespectful?'

Vlad acted like he didn't hear what Koblack just said; he took one more glance at the crowd below before turning to the communication link.

"Go down and check out what's wrong with those people" Vlad voiced out coldly.

"W-what do you mean, go down alone?" Koblack's voice immediately became flustered and he stuttered through the communication link.

"What? Don't you understand human language? You're older and have more experience, so go check it out" Vlad scoffed in response.

The sound of Koblack grinding his teeth hard came through the communication link for a moment before he suddenly called Vlad's full name in a heavy voice.

" Alaric…Vladimir, don't let leadership get to your head!" Koblack said through gritted teeth.

Vlad didn't even get to respond before the sound of collision came from the other side.

BAM!

Crash!

It sounded as if someone got kicked hard and crashed into a sturdy wall.

Next was the cold voice of Bella.

"A mere Mortal King dares to be so arrogant to a Partial Lord, are you asking for death? Go down immediately or I'll throw you out" seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was followed by the distant voice of Koblack cursing before the communication link was cut off.

Thwoooooo! BOOM!!

The other land carrier suddenly had all of its legs folded before its cabin landed on the ground with a loud sound; an opening was created, and from it came Koblack, who had blood on the corner of his mouth.

He threw a glare at the land carrier that Vlad was in before turning to look at the crowd of refugees in front; his huge figure trembled slightly, and one could see the unwillingness and fear in his eyes.

The place was dead silent as only the passing wind dared to make a sound while Koblack slowly approached the crowd.

He reached a ten-meter distance away from them before stopping; his sharp, scary eyes scanned the faces of the people.

"Who are you people?" Mustering enough courage, Koblack asked while watching them vigilantly.

But the people did not respond to him and just kept staring at him, their expressions were those of grief, fear, pain, and anxiety.

"We are people from the Owen Tower; we're here to help." Seeing that they showed similar behaviors to traumatized people, Koblack gained more courage and took a step towards them, but the moment he took a step, the mood of the crowd immediately changed.

Their expressions turned vicious and fierce, they all opened their mouths and screamed.

"Help us!"

" Help us!"

" Save us!"

"Someone save us!"

….

The entire crowd of over a hundred people screaming similar words at the top of their lungs was a very frightening and ghastly sight that made one's skin crawl, the hair on Koblack's body stood straight as a sudden chill watched over his body.

" What the..!!

He cursed and immediately tried to run back, but it was too late; the whole crowd of people surged toward him like a fierce wave of hungry zombies.

"The fuck! Get away from me!" Koblack screamed and immediately covered himself in Nexus energy and punched the closest person who was about to grab him.

BAM!!

It was a powerful punch to the face of a person who looked like a middle-aged lady with dirty blonde hair.

Shockingly, the woman let out a loud shriek that a human would never make before transforming into a completely different thing; it was not a human!

The monster that the woman turned into was a very fat and robust monster with pale skin and had the head of a pig, it was three times the height of a normal human and had the tail of a reptile.

The mere sight of the monster alone was so repulsive that everyone who saw it had the urge to throw up. The Koblack who had punched it had it worse since he was right in front of it and more of what they suspected were similar creatures were rushing towards him!

"It's a gene banshee!"
