Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 40: Beast Attack



"Aiyo, look who this is. Mike, so it's a stray dog. Why, Lucy doesn't want you, so she comes here to lick …" The last word "shit" didn't come out, and a boy with red hair laughed as if he was about to die. He was holding a revolver in his hand, and smoke curled up from the muzzle of the gun. He was naturally responsible for the sudden explosion of the fire.

Mike squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Wayne!"

Ranked ninth, Wayne's hands were slender and strong, and he was skilled in using two revolvers. In the reaction test, only after Alan and Lucy, is a nimble fast shooter. Beside Wayne was a tall black figure. The flames only shone on his fat legs and his belly that bulged out of his belt. Of all the teenagers, only one possessed this physique.

Mike knew who it was without looking at the whole picture.

Fatty Lucen! A dirty, despicable, and frighteningly strong fellow.

Lu Sen took a few steps forward, and his fat face gradually revealed itself in the light of the fire. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Mike. When he saw the meat and water lying beside the sheet behind the teenager, Lucen smiled even more. "Mike, Mike, Mike … I heard you're having a bad time. Why don't you follow me like Wayne?"

Mike spat to the side, "Not interested."

"Is that so? Then leave your things behind and scram now!" Lu Sen said with narrowed eyes.

Wayne looked at Fatty in surprise and said, "Let him go? Lucen, are you crazy?"

"Shut up!" Lu Sen swept his palm across Wayne's face, and the thin youth was immediately swept to the ground by the fatty.

Mike looked at Wayne with a vicious smile on his face. "What do you say, Mike? Or are you going to fight us?" Lucen said.

"No, I'm not interested." Mike retreated and the spikes slid down his sleeves to his palm. "I'll give you everything. I only have one day's worth of food. Isn't that too much?"

'"Dear Mike, are you deaf? I mean, leave everything behind, only you can scram!" Lucen laughed.

"Lu Sen, don't go too far." Mike gritted his teeth.

Lu Sen suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a sinister smile, "I feel that I am already very kind to a dog!"

Mike held the barb in his hand and took a deep breath after a while. He nodded and didn't say anything. He only glanced at the two with resentment and then retreated. After retreating more than ten meters away from the flames and the two of them, Mike turned around and dashed into the darkness.

Wayne covered his face and got up, "I can kill him. What's a lonely guy afraid of?"

"You don't have to think about it," Lucen said as he walked to where Mike was hiding and checked the food and water. "That guy's ranking dropped. The coordinates assigned to the landing points must be in close proximity to the others. However, he was the only one who left alive. This fellow was a ruthless character. And look, he has plenty of water and food, which means that his body is intact. Even if his body is injured, it is enough to deal with the two of us who are hungry and thirsty. "

"It doesn't matter to me, but you … If you really do it, you might be killed by that brat." Lu Sen said with a smile on his face.

Wayne opened his lips, and without knowing what to say, he reached out to touch Mike's dried barbecue. "I have to distribute the food and water," the fatty smiled as he slapped Lu Sen's palm away.

Suddenly, Wayne felt that this fat face was filled with malice.

Mike walked angrily through the canyon, God knows how much he wanted to rush up and kill them. But rationality told him that just Lusen was already troublesome enough, plus Wayne. They came prepared, not as easily as killing Cohen.

Mike gritted his teeth. He looked in the direction he came from and said in a low voice, "Wait, I will definitely kill you. There are other people, I want to win! I want everyone who looks down on me to kneel at my feet!"

Suddenly, Mike closed his mouth and dodged into a crack in the rock as fast as he could. Moments later, sand rolled down from above, and dust fell all over his face. After more than ten seconds, the vibrations above stopped. Mike quietly poked his head out. Under the moonlight, a few wild rhinoceroses above the canyon were flying far away.

"Strange, at this time, these big fellows should be sleeping." Mike muttered to himself, something flashing past his eyes. Mike looked at it with rapt attention. Through the moonlight, he saw a sphere with metallic reflections flashing across the sky.

The sounds of wild rhinoceroses could be faintly heard from the canyon. These fellows seemed to be even more irritable than usual. Mike frowned thoughtfully.

He could vaguely hear a wolf howl or two, which woke Alan up.

Looking at the fire nearby, the flames were so dim that they almost disappeared. However, the remaining temperature was still filled with the cave, guaranteeing that they wouldn't be tossing and turning in the cold night. It was a cave at the bottom of the valley, with stone beaches and rapids outside. Even at night, the sound of water was turbulent.

Lucy was sleeping at the other end, and the girl was wrapping herself in her clothes, breathing evenly. It was as if the flames were gradually extinguishing, and she felt a little cold, so she shrank even tighter. Alan took off his jacket, revealing the light armor defensive suit underneath. He draped his warm jacket over the girl and grabbed the Berserk Slaughter and the Tactical Blade and walked out of the cave.

The night was sinking, but the world was not dark. The moon and stars shone with silver light, like a veil hanging over the valley. In the distance was a forest hidden under the moonlight. The forest line extended northward, forming a long and narrow silhouette.

Tonight, the forest seemed to be a bit restless. Although wolf howls were not rare at night, there seemed to be more howls from the sword-toothed berserk wolves in the forest today. There was also an indescribable flavor in their voices.

It was like an awakened beast, violent and fierce!

Alan frowned. The wind came from the direction of the forest, bringing along the fragrance of the trees. There was also a trace of fishy smell hidden within.

Suddenly, he caught some suspicious black dots. Black dots flashed across the forest, repeatedly moving, and there were more than a hundred of them.

"What's that?"

At this moment, a black shadow flew over from the forest. In the moonlight that broke into the river, it was surprisingly a metal ball. It was the Commission's monitor in Yellowstone Park, and it was these special "eyes" that formed the surveillance node. When Allen looked up, he didn't know that his face was also captured by the camera.

Allen's face appeared in the holographic projector in the command hall of the Death Arena without any delay, supported by the real-time signal transmission. Of course, Alan was just one of thousands of images being opened by holographic projectors.

Alstair yawned and leaned against the railings of the bridge, asking, "How are you getting on with the Beast Tide?"

"Everything is ready, sir."

"Very well, let's start. It's time for our lovely children to run. Isn't the meaning of life about sports?" Alstair laughed and prepared to leave. For him, the work of working overtime tonight had already been completed, so he naturally didn't need to stay in the command hall anymore. Leave the rest to the people below.

It's just a game.

This was all that the death arena meant to Alstair.

After the minister left, the so-called beast tide operation began to activate. In the countless images of the holographic projector, the figures of many dangerous species appeared. They become restless and frantic under the stimulation of a particular wavelength. And when the committee changes the delivery of wavelength signals, the dangerous species are driven by an invisible hand toward the goal the committee wants them to reach.

Alan's ears twitched gently on the beach in the valley of the Emergency Bay. He seemed to have heard something, but the sound of the riverbank water was loud, covering up all the clues. Alan's heart was filled with unease. It was an instinct. During his five years of living in the wilderness with the snow wolf, he had developed an instinct that was no different from that of a wild beast.

Intuitive signals come from many aspects of information, sound, taste and even subtle changes in light. Nature, in its own way, sent a special signal to Alan.

When he caught this intuition, Alan suddenly saw a berserk wolf emerge from the edge of the forest.

At this moment, the Berserk Wolf should be asleep, not wandering in the dark! More berserk wolves began to emerge. They crawled out of the forest and ran madly towards the river. Allen's pupils dilated slightly, and countless dark shadows that looked like demons appeared in his bright red pupils. Countless berserk wolves surged out of the forest, screaming wildly as they rushed down the river. In the blink of an eye, they were washed away by the torrent.

However, they rushed forward one after another, not caring whether they were alive or dead. Berserk Wolves stared at Ellen with red eyes, as if they were going to tear him to shreds!

"What's going on?" Lucy rubbed her eyes and walked out of the mountains and rivers, obviously hearing something.

Alan retreated to her side and said, "We have to go."

"Now?"

"Now!"

Lucy finally saw the wolves rushing into the river under the moonlight, their faces turning incomparably pale. They might be able to deal with two or three berserk wolves, but if they were besieged by so many wild beasts, they would definitely be torn to shreds.

At this moment, the wolf's howl came from the forest far away from the river. There were dense forests on both sides of the valley. At this moment, even the riverbank where Allen and the other two were standing started to surge with wild wolves. And they didn't have any obstacles!

"Run, run!" Shouted Alan, putting Berserk and the Tactical Saber behind him, pulling Lucy's hand and running south of the valley.

That was the only direction where there were no berserk wolves!

Under the moonlight, the pack of wolves sprinted wildly. They passed through the valley and bit behind Allen and the others. The two of them had never seen such a large-scale beast tide before. Their faces were pale and they had no choice but to run for their lives.
