Pre-death assessment

The video shows the scene outside Xuanwu City.

A large group of steel beasts roared and charged toward the giant Xuanwu, seemingly trying to break through its incredibly thick defenses.

Some ferocious beasts even climbed directly onto Xuanwu's body and launched attacks from all directions.

The entire herd consisted of nearly a hundred steel beasts.

The large ones are hundreds of meters long, while the small ones are only a few meters long.

They came from all directions and started smashing and pounding Xuanwu City.

Their bodies are made of white moonstone metal.

The enormous body of Xuanwu was also made of white moonlight metal.

When two materials of the same type collide, the thicker side will naturally be stronger.

Therefore, the attacks of these ferocious beasts landing on Xuanwu's body were like hitting a rocky mountain with a stone.

Aside from leaving a few insignificant traces, it did not play a significant role.

Among this herd of beasts, there was a giant ape, about the size of Godzilla, that leaped onto the top of Xuanwu.

This giant ape was, of course, made entirely of that white moonlight metal.

But amidst the paleness, a hint of purplish-red color had already emerged.

Clearly, it is the king of this pack!

It roared and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Xuanwu.

The Xuanwu's strongest defense is its back, so its attack, apart from causing significant noise pollution, did not result in much damage.

Karina watched the live monitor with a deep frown.

Because on the back of that giant ape, four large characters were carved.

Let's chat about something boring!

This giant ape, which has evolved towards a purple-gold-red metal, is naturally her father who died many years ago.

He is also the most powerful of all the beast kings currently recorded in the four major cities!

"Is this...your father?"

Liu Ruyan walked up from behind, also watching the surveillance footage.

Sure enough, Jiang Liao and his group had run into this guy before.

And they even left a note.

Jiang Liao probably wanted to tease Ling Wu on purpose, which is why he carved those four words on the back of the strongest beast king.

Ling Wu used the secret codes left by Jiang Liao from the first level to the second level.

When Jiang Liao suddenly pulled this stunt in the third level, he was able to trick Ling Wu.

Anyway, even if we can't trick Ling Wu, we won't lose anything.

She was also certain that with Ling Wu's abilities, there would be no danger.

That couple really is... showing off their skills from afar!

"Commander... let us handle it."

At that moment, her subordinate's voice came through Karina's earpiece.

After all, they all knew that he was Karina's deceased father.

It's certainly not appropriate to let Karina face it directly.

"It's okay!"

Karina gritted her teeth and said, "Activate the fighter jets, activate the outer perimeter destroyers."

Her father once told her that the more critical the moment, the more she should do her job well.

Therefore, she will not avoid it.

She could even take action against her own deceased father.

Moreover, it's not about fighting the beasts to the death; it's just about driving them away to prevent them from continuing to destroy Xuanwu City.

Just stop them from continuing to cause noise pollution.

These animals didn't have much patience to begin with, so they were easily driven away.

Karina then headed towards the fleet command center.

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over and went with her: "You bought some food, you'll have to eat it later and then we can go back and eat together. I'll go with you to take a look."

Karina glanced at Liu Ruyan and then nodded.

Liu Ruyan is very strong, so there's no need to worry.

Moreover, if Liu Ruyan really wants to stay in the future, we can bypass her in advance to familiarize ourselves with the work.

This is not a bad thing.

The two immediately went to the command center, boarded a fighter jet together, and headed out of the city to drive away the beast horde.

In addition to Tactical Formation No. 7, other formations were also deployed at this time.

After all, there are so many beasts that a single squadron cannot handle them all.

Outside Xuanwu City, beneath the thick steel walls, some windows suddenly opened.

Then one by one, cannons were extended and opened fire on the horde of beasts.

bang bang bang...

Immediately, explosions rang out continuously from the massive Xuanwu body.

However, to the enormous Xuanwu, the explosion of the cannonballs was nothing more than a tiny spectacle.

The shells struck the steel beasts, but did not cause fatal damage.

But it was indeed able to drive the beasts off Xuanwu.

At this point, the herd of beasts naturally did not retreat, because they were all under the control of the beast king.

As long as the Beast King doesn't retreat, even if they are knocked down, they will still charge back up again.

The Beast King is indeed much more intelligent than ordinary wild beasts; it controls the herd to launch attacks on Xuanwu City's defense system.

Some cannon barrels were immediately smashed into scrap metal.

"Lock onto the Beastmaster and take it down!"

Karina and Liu Ruyan were both on the main fighter jet at this time.

At Karina's command, the fighter jets of Tactical Squadron 7 all aimed at the Beast King.

Bang!

The first shell landed and exploded on the Beast King with a bang, but it didn't cause much damage.

Other fighter jets followed suit and opened fire, using the shockwaves from the exploding shells to push the beast king in one direction as much as possible.

Karina's main fighter jet arrived in front of the Beast King. Watching the giant ape roar angrily under the barrage of fire, she took a deep breath.

Go back to your world.

She said something casually, then pressed the switch and launched the special missile.

Bang!

With another loud bang, the already teetering giant ape was finally blasted off Xuanwu's back by the shockwave.

Its steel claws gripped the side of the Xuanwu tortoise shell, sliding down continuously until it finally slammed hard onto the ground.

After landing, it got up and roared again, seemingly very unwilling.

Sure enough, the next moment, it climbed up towards the giant Xuanwu again.

Looking at the surrounding fighter jets, it even started jumping to evade them.

Although its body is extremely large, its core seems to have a very strong driving force, making it appear very agile.

It dodged both the destroyer cannons and the attacking fighter jets in the sky.

The enormous body bounced back and forth on the Xuanwu's back.

At the same time, it continuously launched attacks on Xuanwu's enormous body.

It seems to be searching for a weak point in Xuanwu's body, hoping to find it before attacking Xuanwu City.

Unfortunately, Xuanwu City's defenses were impenetrable.

Every part of it has an indestructible outer layer that is extremely thick.

After all, the city has a population of one million. If the beast horde were to break in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, defense has always been the most important aspect for the four major cities.

After its attempts failed, the giant ape roared to the sky once more.

They were indeed helpless against Xuanwu City, a behemoth with its defenses at full strength.

Just then, when everyone thought the herd of beasts was about to leave, the giant ape suddenly let out a wild roar.

Immediately, all the beasts swarmed towards the entrance and exit dedicated to the Xuanwu City fighter jets.

In the blink of an eye, all entrances and exits to the tunnels were completely blocked.

"What...are they trying to do?"

On the fighter jet outside, Karina and the others immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Wow!

At that moment, when everyone was confused.

Suddenly, a pair of steel wings unfurled from behind the beast king, covered with small thrusters.

Then, with a powerful thrust, its massive body shot towards the sky with a whoosh.

"spread!"

Karina immediately gave the order: "Everyone, scatter!"

Therefore, the fighter jets dispersed in all directions as much as possible.

But the giant ape still suddenly flew up and crashed hard into one of the fighter jets.

The fighter jet immediately crashed down from the sky.

"Damn it, they... have evolved again!"

On the main fighter jet, Karina had a somber expression.

"evolution?"

Liu Ruyan looked puzzled: "What does this mean? How does steel evolve?"

"Every steel beast here can evolve."

Karina said in a deep voice, "With each evolution, the body structure and combat power will be greatly improved. Moreover, if it is a beast horde, once the beast king evolves, all the beasts under its command will basically evolve along with it."

"It really is... a Transformer?" Liu Ruyan felt a bit curious.

Isn't this just like Transformers, where equipment is upgraded?

shhhhhh...

Just then, from the horde of beasts below, another steel beast took flight.

It's clear that the Beast King wasn't the only one to evolve wings.

"They want to block the entrances and exits, keeping us all outside."

Karina said in a deep voice.

After realizing that he could not enter Xuanwu City, the Beast King targeted the people on the fighter jets outside.

The current plan is to block the entrances and exits to prevent them from going back, and then... eliminate them all.

"Is there really such a brain?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the Beast King outside: "Is it really just a simple beast?"

This intelligence is already on par with humankind, isn't it?

"Spread out and increase firepower!"

Karina then commanded: "This is Tactical Squadron 7. The horde is targeting us, and we need support."

"The exit tunnel needs to be cleared; initiate the clearing process."

"immediately!"

While directing the No. 7 tactical formation to maneuver against the approaching horde of beasts, she also maintained contact with the interior of Xuanwu City.

Immediately, the other formations that had not yet been deployed also set off one after another.

The clearing procedures at the entrances and exits were running normally, and tunnel artillery fire bombarded the beasts blocking the entrances and exits...

The scene looked somewhat chaotic.

"I didn't expect the beast horde to be so patient this time?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised at this moment.

In the past, when the beast hordes attacked the city, they only needed to make a slight move to drive them back, and the beast hordes would naturally retreat.

But this time, the Beast King was not giving up even after being defeated, and wanted to come back again?

This is definitely not normal!

"Don't you have... any weapons that can kill these steel beasts?"

As Liu Ruyan watched, she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

The herd came with the intention of killing them all.

But what about them?

Each shell only served to drive them away and did not cause any real damage.

Is this interesting?

"Of course we do, but we don't usually use them unless absolutely necessary," Karina replied.

"Isn't this already a last resort?"

Liu Ruyan said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whose relatives these beasts were in the past, their current man-eating behavior... what's the difference between them and zombies?"

"It might sound harsh, but that's the truth!"

"They...are no longer your relatives; they only want to eat you now!"

That's right, these steel beasts don't recognize anyone at all.

In their eyes, everyone is the same.

They've long lost any sense of being human; now all they want is to eat people.

These really are zombies!

Since they've already turned into zombies, why bother showing mercy?

Go easy on them, but they won't!

However, upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Karina shook her head: "Just drive them away; there's no need to kill them."

As she spoke, she continued to direct the fighter jets to attack the horde of beasts.

Swish!

But at that moment, the beast king suddenly leaped up, its enormous body disappearing into the clouds.

The next moment, it suddenly darted out from a direction no one had expected.

Then, it crashed hard into the main fighter jet where Karina and Liu Ruyan were.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the fighter jet's left wing was instantly shattered, and the entire massive aircraft lost its balance in the air, teetering on the verge of crashing.

Inside the fighter jet, Liu Ruyan held Karina's hand: "Don't hesitate, don't hold back any weapons you have."

The other party is truly ruthless and doesn't care about family at all; there's absolutely no need to treat them as family.

Just then, outside, after the giant ape destroyed the main fighter jet's left wing, its form changed once again.

What was originally a giant ape now had its entire body of metal undergoing a frenzied transformation and writhing.

Then, the hunched giant ape transformed into an upright human form.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan was once again greatly surprised: "What the hell is this? It can even transform into human form, is it some kind of super beast weapon?"
