Chapter 183 A World Where Humanity is Defeated
Everywhere was decayed and broken, all plants had died, and there was no sign of life. There was no trace of the "survivors" mentioned on the parchment.
However, after walking for a while, they suddenly stopped...
"What the hell, what is this?"
Hearing the exclamation, Colin turned his head and looked in the direction he was looking. He saw a pair of huge handprints on the ground not far away. It looked like something had fallen from a great height and was left behind.
When I looked up, I saw a huge hole in the building next to the handprint.
Colin simulated the scene in his mind, thinking that maybe some huge creature jumped out from there, then landed on the road with both hands, created a big hole, and then slowly walked away...
Is this the "Son of Dusk" that caused the extinction of people in this area?
Colin was secretly shocked. He glanced at the faces of the others and found that they were also thinking about something and obviously had similar guesses.
"During the test, the mark was found to be highly consistent with the structure of a human palm, but it was unusually large. The pit was thirty centimeters deep, two meters wide, and five meters long. It seemed that he had fallen from the seventeenth floor. It is estimated that his body weight is at least three tons..."
The conclusion reached by the exploration robot after remote scanning made everyone feel cold.
Even Colin frowned, unable to imagine what kind of monster left this handprint.
However, as the investigation continued and they came to the center of the city, they saw more buildings that looked like they had been destroyed by some giant creature.
"Judging from the traces, there are probably more than one or two monsters here."
Colin glanced around and felt that this was arguably the most central and prosperous place in the city. It was like grass chewed by a dog, messy and disorganized, with no signs of being intact at all.
In addition, they finally saw some traces left by the people of this world after fighting against monsters.
And from the robot's analysis, it was concluded that the weapons used included but were not limited to bullets of various calibers, large-caliber shells, and other common conventional weapons...
"I remember this place, one square meter costs 150,000..."
An armed man held the gun in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
All traces of human beings and other creatures have long disappeared here, leaving only a concrete jungle with exposed steel bars...
Listening to his sigh, Colin's eyes swept over the remains of various tanks, armored vehicles, and even the fallen armed helicopters. He could vaguely feel the cruelty of the battle from the smell of gunpowder lingering in the air.
But unfortunately, judging from the remaining debris, the humans who remained here did not win the battle.
"Have you noticed that there are no human remains here?" someone couldn't help but speak.
"More than just human corpses..."
Colin shook his head. "There was no trace of any living creatures. Not to mention humans, there were no rats, bugs, or even trees."
There is no trace of animals, and the plants have disappeared, except for those that were made into furniture.
The thing that caused the disaster seemed to have taken away most of the biological mass.
"The outbreak of fighting in this place proves that our previous speculation was correct. There is indeed a shelter nearby, otherwise there would not be an offensive and defensive battle here." Colin looked past the military wreckage and prepared to go to the mall over there with everyone.
But at this moment, his heart sank and he felt that something seemed to be moving towards this side.
In the air, one could faintly smell a very slight stench of decay...
But before he could think of a way to remind them, everyone heard a strange roar coming from far away from the side and rear.
Heavy footsteps followed one after another...
Some huge monster seemed to be approaching slowly.
"An abnormal creature has been detected approaching within 500 meters! Please evacuate immediately! Please immediately..."
The three robots flashed , sounding the alarm.
However, at this moment, Colin suddenly felt the ground shaking, and a picture emerged in his mind -
A large khaki hand stretched out from the ground, grabbed him and the wheelchair in its palm, then clenched its fist tightly, and internal organs, broken bones and tomato-colored sauce flowed out from between its fingers.
"Fatal Insight"!
Immediately, Colin didn't care about being exposed or not. He "stood up" from the wheelchair like a medical miracle, then rushed towards the two people beside him, knocked them away, and moved a few meters away from his original position.
Qin Chuan and the others didn't have time to be surprised at why Colin was so strong, nor did they know what he suddenly did. In the next second, they saw the ground bulge upwards and break, and a large ochre-colored hand grabbed upwards.
The electric wheelchair that I had just got was pulled into it and squeezed into a ball with two clicks.
Moreover, during this process, something seemed to be crawling towards the surface from underground.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Eight elite armed men reacted immediately and opened fire to suppress the thing. Dozens of bullets were poured into its giant hand in a short period of time.
But such attacks were of no use to it, and the gaps created were quickly filled with other flesh and blood in a short time.
And, within a few seconds, they saw a huge, decayed, gravel-covered humanoid creature crawling out of the ground.
For some unknown reason, its body was severed at the belly button, leaving only half of its body, supporting the ground with its huge hands. Its body, covered in yellow sand, emanated a strong stench of rotting flesh and blood.
And although it was a human body, there were no human facial features on the head. There was only a bloody crack that took up one-third of the face. In the middle of the crack was an eyeball full of malice and bloodshot.
"Sons of the Twilight"!
The first time he saw it, this word immediately popped up in Colin's mind.
It was at this time that Qin Chuan and others distanced themselves from it and attacked it at the same time without holding back.
One after another, yellow talismans flew over and pierced into it, causing its body to suddenly sink. On the talisman, the word "gravity" could be vaguely seen.
The creature that looked like the "Son of Dusk" let out a strange roar from its chest, then squirmed, and stretched out a hand from its armpit, grabbing towards everyone.
At the same time, attacks from other people arrived.
Large-caliber bullets, howitzers, and some other means that Colin was not familiar with were used to attack the monster.
Soon he saw that the monster, which was about three meters tall, collapsed directly.
Pieces of flesh and blood rotted to the ground, then mysteriously seeped into the ground and disappeared.
"Are you so weak that you can't take a beating?" Qin Chuan was holding a stack of yellow talismans in his hand, preparing for the next round of attack, but he didn't expect that the opponent would disappear instantly.
Colin, who was standing aside and ready to take action at any time, frowned. He was sure that although the monster was defeated, it was definitely not dead and might attack again in the future.
However, before they had time to think about it, they heard more footsteps coming faintly in the distance. After looking at each other, they immediately took out the umbrellas they had just found in some shops during the exploration, opened them, and rushed towards the location of the mall.
Fortunately, it seems that there are no more "Sons of Twilight" in this large shopping mall.
Even more "lucky" is...
As soon as they entered the mall, they saw a hanged body in the lobby on the first floor.
