The Ultimate Evolution

Another soldier tried to use a new type of burning grenade against Sheyan, but before the grenade could be thrown, Sheyan had rushed over and grabbed his hand that was holding the grenade. The grenade’s detonation mechanism activated right then, so the flame grenade ended up exploding in his hand.

The soldier screamed and struggled after catching fire all over his body. After running for twenty meters, he fell into a tent. The dry miscellaneous stuff around him was instantly ignited and the fire started spreading fiercely.

The officer’s heart sank, but he had not lost all hope yet. That’s because he could already hear the sound of engine coming from the east. He knew that the two soldiers left to guard the radio station had come to help in a “Bradley” M2/M3 Tracked Armoured Fighting Vehicle.

With the terrifying combination of a M2HB-QCB heavy barrel quick reloading heavy machine gun and a12.7mm APEI-169 Armor Piercing Explosive Incendiary on the vehicle, they should be able to easily tear up this damn bastard that had superpowers!

But suddenly, a strong wind blew!!

A deafening noise akin to the sound of thunder came from the distance, and a dark mass suddenly came whirring from the air. The dark mass turned out to be a huge rock that was heading straight for the armoured fighting vehicle!

Sergeant Litt was aiming at the enemy behind the heavy machine gun and was about to open fire, but the unexpected attack forcefully interrupted him. The rock carried such a strong momentum that he found himself having difficulty breathing. He could only protect himself with his arms in panic.

An agonizing pain caused by blunt force trauma assaulted the front part of his body. The protective enclosure could not protect him at all. The rock hit him head-on, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the hard ground in the distance, his fate unknown. The vehicle was also knocked more than two meters away amidst the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Rock Throw!

Three minutes later, all the arrogant and enraged soldiers were either dead or wounded. Those that were still alive could hardly stand up.

The stunned Noah muttered to his sister, “I was wrong. Mr. Seaman is good at persuading people; not with his tongue, but with his fist.”

But at that moment, they suddenly felt a tremor. The shaking got so intense that they had to get on all fours; none of them could remain standing. The Hummer was clearly parked on flat ground, but it was rocking from side to side because of the violent shock!

If the aftershock from before felt like jumping around a spring bed, then the tremor now felt like the sign before a tsunami!

There seemed to be a huge beast with monstrous power underground, roaring and madly crashing into the ground! Every time it struck, the violent impact would successfully transmit to all the humans through the fragile land. The humans could only endure helplessly, unable to resist in any way!

Sheyan suddenly turned his head. This action was reminiscent of a beast turning around after being injured. His eyes were fierce, but there was a trace of uncontrollable panic in them. He was still quite calm a moment ago after killing more than a dozen people, but at this instant, he was showing fear akin to a trapped beast!

The altitude of the military base was quite high as it was built on a flat-top hill. The purpose of this was to prevent groundwater from seeping into the underground facilities. Therefore, it could be considered a high ground.

Therefore, they could clearly see a terrible chasm forming on the flat plain about 5 kilometers from here, like a giant snake several hundred meters in diameter wildly wriggling under the ground. A large amount of white gas rose from the cracks, assaulting their noses with a strange, stinging smell.

It was the smell of sulphur.

The vast plain suddenly sunk slightly, then swelled up, as if the whole area that was two to three kilometers in diameter was breathing rhythmically. Then, more than ten kilometers of the ground in front of them started undulating….

Yes, it was undulating, like the surface of a pond covered in algae and green duckweeds!!

Such a scenery should have been very beautiful, but when Sheyan and his party witnessed this, it only sent chills down their backs! The unbelievable grandeur and power of nature! They could do naught but stare in awe and fear!

“Get on the chopper!” Sheyan yelled, then took a deep breath before he barked out orders, “Reef, install an auxiliary fuel tank and refuel the chopper. We probably won’t have a chance to refuel on the way. Sanzi, help them board.”

“But we don’t have the key….” uttered Gordon weakly.

Sheyan grinned and said, “I left seven or eight people alive. Someone must know where to find the key.”

Sheyan went straight for the soldier with the highest rank, a major. He grabbed the major by the neck, pulling him close, and asked him seriously, “Where’s the helicopter key?”

The major replied with a bloody spit to Sheyan’s face.

Sheyan laid him back down on the ground and stomped on his chest! His whole chest sunk down, and the dark red organs within squirted out of his mouth. He died a horrible death.

Next, Sheyan went to another soldier and said calmly, “You think the earthquake has stopped? You thought wrong! This is just the beginning! In five minutes at most, the volcano will erupt. If you can tell me where the helicopter key is, I’ll take you with us.”

“I-I-I don’t know!” the soldier stuttered in a shaky voice.

Anger flashed across Sheyan’s eyes. He instantly twisted the soldier’s neck until it broke. After that, someone shouted in alarm, “I-I’m a pilot. I have the keys. Are you really willing to take me with you?”

Sheyan turned to look at him. Suddenly, Sheyan bent low, dashed towards him and kicked hard!

The pilot screamed in shock, but he soon realised that Sheyan had passed by him like a gust of wind. The target of Sheyan’s kick was the right hand of the soldier behind him who had a furious look in his eyes. A gunshot sounded, but the gun was already kicked out of his hand!

It turned out that the soldier was angry with his comrade’s betrayal and had tried to shoot his comrade despite his injury. Sheyan noticed it the moment he raised his hand, and had immediately rushed to him.

The violent vibration of the ground had gradually subsided, but it absolutely did not mean that the catastrophe had calmed down. It felt more like it was taking a rest to break out even stronger later. Reef drove a gas truck over. Sheyan asked him how long it would take to fill the chopper tanks to the brim, and the reply was: close to two minutes.

Sheyan took the helicopter key from the pilot and kicked an M4A1 rifle towards him.

“If you want to leave with us, kill the others.”

The pilot was stunned.

“Why?”

“One, I want you to prove that you’ve really submitted to me. Two, one of them just tried to kill you! If it weren’t for me, your brain would have been blown out. Three, I’m afraid of them firing at the helicopter after it takes off to bring it down. I’ll give you 30 seconds. If you don’t do it, I won’t take you with us! We already have someone who can fly the helicopter!” answered Sheyan coldly.

After hearing what Sheyan had to say, a trace of viciousness crept into the eyes of the pilot named Peter. He steeled himself and fired, killing his comrades.

Time trickled away, but every second seemed like hours for Party Ace. The air kept getting hotter, and the pungent smell in the air became stronger and stronger. The whole land looked like a boiling steamer pot. There would be a crack in the ground every two to three hundred meters which would suddenly spray white gas up to sixty meters into the air! However, the location of the military base they were in had apparently been carefully selected. Although the underground rock layers here were brittle, they were quite thick, so the phenomenon was not that obvious here. A low, muffled sound filled the air, causing their chest to feel heavy and making it hard to breathe.

After a while, Reef finally kicked away the oil pump and shouted, “I’m done.”

Zi was already sitting on the pilot’s seat, ready to go. She instantly pressed several buttons in the helicopter. Under her skillful control, the helicopter’s rotors started to rotate. The ominous feeling in Sheyan’s heart grew stronger. He could not stop himself from asking Zi, “How long will it take to lift off?”

Zi replied after checking the dashboard, “Because we’ve installed the biggest possible secondary fuel tank, and the number of passengers we’re carrying is almost the maximum capacity, it’s almost a full load operation, so we need at least 250 revolutions per minute, which means we’ll need at least 70 seconds….”

After Zi explained that, a bright light suddenly erupted in front of Sheyan. He completely lost his sight. Even a contestant with a strong Physique like Sheyan only regained his vision gradually after five seconds!

More than thirty kilometers away, a huge greyish-red cloud erupted, almost covering the entire sky. Red, black and grey substances were constantly churning and stirring inside the cloud.

There were horrifying light rings shaped like halos around the giant cloud, dazzlingly bright to the eye, and they were rapidly spreading outwards.

At the sight of this, a thought instantly flashed through Sheyan’s mind. He screamed with all his might, “Close all the cabin doors and windows!”
