The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

But something unexpected happened.

The horned "monster" quickly broke away from the party, returned the warhammer to the burly man, and then quickly rejoined the party.

There was no counterattack.

There was no angry roar.

The entire formation did not even pause because of the attack.

The group continued to move forward methodically, their goal set on the coastline.

The crowd was stunned.

Why don't these "monsters" attack people?

Just then, the drone's loudspeaker blared again from the sky.

The monotonous broadcast replaced the previous warnings.

"Don't panic!"

"These are official soldiers, they are not monsters! They are not monsters!"

"Please do not interfere with the official soldiers' actions!"

"A warning again: ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against these monsters. Anyone without a pet or who has not obtained the 'Wasteland Era' qualification, please immediately move away from the coastline!"

"This is not a drill! Attention! This is not a drill! Please leave immediately!"

The drone's broadcasts echoed back and forth over the coastline.

But there were only warnings; no soldiers came to disperse the crowd.

The Dragon Kingdom has a long coastline, and S City is just one of them. At present, the government is facing a severe shortage of manpower.

We have fulfilled our obligation to remind them, and there is nothing we can do if they don't listen.

After a brief silence, a collective gasp erupted from the crowd.

A young man wearing glasses suddenly slapped his thigh.

"An official fighter? I remember now!"

"The official website of Wasteland Era, as well as the official website, has related guides. This is the mutation route for the intermediate gene potion!"

"Using that potion will grant you unparalleled strength."

"But the price is that your body will irreversibly develop monstrous characteristics!"

However, intermediate-level gene-enhancing drugs are extremely expensive, and very few people can afford them.

Not to mention the high fees incurred during withdrawals.

He shouted it out, and everyone around him heard it clearly.

"They're not monsters, they're real men!"

As soon as the voice came out, all the points that I couldn't understand became clear.

Xin Qiyi completely let go of Yuan Bing's hand.

He looked at the backs of those figures covered in scales, tentacles, and horns.

For a moment, I felt a mix of emotions.

You have to understand, the real world isn't Wasteland. Here, there are families, lovers, and people you care about.

Who doesn't want a good-looking appearance?

Once the alienation path is confirmed, it is irreversible!

However, in order to gain the power to protect the city, they voluntarily gave up their human appearance.

It has turned into a state that would frighten even ordinary people.

What a tremendous amount of determination that must have taken!

Xin Qiyi looked at the F-level source weapon in his hand.

He was just feeling smug, thinking he was superior to others.

Looking back now, it's a complete joke.

True strength doesn't require flashy weapons to show off.

Xin Qiyi silently put away the source weapon.

The burly man who had just been wielding the warhammer got up from the ground.

He looked at his bleeding hands, then stared intently at the receding formation.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"I just... actually attacked them."

"I'm fucking damn bad!"

He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

The crisp sound of the slap was particularly loud in the crowd.

Half of her face swelled up instantly.

But he didn't stop; he slapped her again with his other hand.

The crowd spontaneously moved aside, creating an extremely wide passage.

A deep sense of respect arose spontaneously.

No one backed down anymore.

No one screamed in terror anymore.

Everyone watched this special team in silence, their eyes filled with awe.

To do something even when you know it is impossible.

They are the real men!

The official soldiers pushed through the crowd and arrived at the very front of the coastline.

Facing that boiling black ocean.

They were accompanied by all sorts of strange and wonderful pets.

There are giant bears whose bodies are covered in rock armor.

There was a giant red wolf with three tails.

There are also armored birds that hover in the air with wingspans exceeding five meters.

The giant rock bear stood upright and slammed its paws heavily onto the ground.

A shockwave, yellowish-brown in color, swept across the sea surface.

The giant crimson wolf howled to the sky, spewing out a blazing pillar of fire that instantly vaporized the green slime that approached.

The armored birds circled in the air, their feathers transforming into sharp blades, ready to swoop down at any moment.

With the appearance of this group of people.

Xin Qiyi's fire hound even buried its head in the sand.

The pets roared deafeningly in response to the ever-approaching army of spiders on the sea.

The official foundation was fully demonstrated at this moment.

The defensive line has been established.

The horned warrior stood at the very front.

He drew his broadsword from his back, the tip pointing directly at the churning sea.

The soldiers behind him simultaneously brandished their weapons.

An atmosphere of impending doom rose to the sky.

Boom—!

A deafening tearing sound suddenly came from overhead.

The noise was so great that it completely drowned out the roar of the waves.

The crowd looked up.

The air was compressed violently, creating rings of white sonic boom clouds.

Several enormous metal objects streaked across the gloomy sky, leaving long white trails.

The immense air pressure made it almost impossible for the people below to breathe, and the speed was extremely fast.

It headed straight for the deep sea in the distance.

"It's a missile!"

"Official fire support has arrived!"

Several missiles, carrying the kinetic energy to destroy everything and the hopes of everyone, soared across the sky.

Everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to those streaks of fire.

The missile flew over the coastline, over the boiling sea, over those menacing black segments, and precisely struck the shadows in the deepest part of the sea.

The moment the flames touched the sea surface.

boom--!

The blinding orange-red light instantly engulfed the entire sea area, and a huge heat wave mixed with the fishy smell of water vapor rushed towards us.

Xin Qiyi raised his arm to shield his face, his exposed skin stinging from the intense heat.

The sound waves followed closely, causing the eardrums to emit a sharp buzzing sound.

The water column shot into the sky, reaching a height of 100 meters.

The black arthropods, tattered carapaces, and green bodily fluids instantly vaporized in the intense light, blasting a large number of spider monsters to pieces.

Severed limbs and broken pieces of flesh crashed onto the beach as the seawater pounded down on them.

But the missiles did not stop.

The second one!

The third one!

The fourth one!

With long white trails, they plunged one after another into the boiling black ocean.

The series of explosions triggered a small tsunami, and flames and thick smoke mingled, obscuring the entire sky.

Xin Qiyi slowly lowered his arm and stared at the sea.

The authorities mobilized strategic reserves, but he felt no relief whatsoever; his reaction became even more tense.

They used missiles, but lacked armed soldiers.

This shows that conventional firearms have lost their deterrent effect on these monsters.

Although these missiles have temporarily halted the monster's advance, how long can they hold out?

With the country's long coastline, the ammunition reserves will eventually run out.

Once the firepower network breaks down, those mutated warriors will be immediately overwhelmed by the swarm of insects.

This was by no means an evenly matched war.

Before the smoke from the explosion had even cleared, a huge vacuum zone had been blasted out of the sea ahead.

But less than three seconds later, the surging black wave behind them instantly filled the void.

The densely packed spider monsters continued their charge, trampling over the corpses of their own kind.

There are too many.

There are so many that you can't see the end.
