Chapter 98 Killing the Demon Dragon King, Breakthrough
The ground shook violently.
"Boom!"
A colossal demonic dragon emerged from the earth and soared into the sky!
Its dark purple scales gleamed with a cold light under the setting sun, and its body, over a hundred meters long, resembled a giant python soaring through the air, raising clouds of dust and debris.
Li Hao raised an eyebrow and instantly retreated a hundred meters, hovering in mid-air.
The bio-engineered AI unit automatically activated, and a phantom panel appeared in the field of vision:
[A highly mutated life form—the Demon Dragon King—has been detected.]
Bioenergy intensity ≈ 515-525 standard units
[Strength Level: Level 5 (Beginner)]
【Characteristics: Extremely high scale armor defense, can fire corrosive energy beams, possesses burrowing ability, moderate intelligence】
Threat Level: Extremely High
"Level 5." Li Hao looked at the string of numbers, a slight smile playing on his lips. "525 units."
He was nearly thirty units higher than him.
The five levels represent not only a difference in quantity, but also a qualitative change.
Any other level four evolver would probably have turned and run away by now.
But Li Hao did not.
He raised his right arm.
"Buzz"
The palm lights up.
Particle arm unit—maximum power!
A silvery-white ball of light rapidly condensed in the palm of the hand, compressing to the size of a fist, with its energy density soaring!
It takes 0.5 seconds to fully charge.
"call out!"
A beam of extremely concentrated white light shot out, aiming directly at the head of the demonic dragon!
The demonic dragon had just emerged from the ground and hadn't even had time to steady itself when the beam of light struck its neck!
"puff!"
The beam struck the scales, exploding into a shower of sparks.
however,
The anticipated breakthrough did not occur.
The beam of light only left a fist-sized charred crater on the scales, with dark purple blood seeping from the edges, but it was quickly sealed by the congealed bodily fluids.
"Just a scratch?" Li Hao frowned slightly.
No wonder it's a level 5 weapon, its skin is really thick.
"roar!"
The demonic dragon, in pain, let out a deafening roar.
It suddenly lowered its head, its vertical pupils locking onto Li Hao on the ground, and a dark purple energy ball instantly condensed in its mouth.
"Buzz!"
The light surged.
A massive beam of energy, over a meter in diameter, shot towards Li Hao with a deafening roar!
Li Hao's figure swayed, and the sound exploded!
He instantly moved a hundred meters to the side, the beam of light grazing past his afterimage and striking a fifty-story office building behind him!
"boom!!!"
The entire building was blown in half!
The upper part of the building collapsed in the flames, concrete blocks fell like hail, and smoke and dust rose hundreds of meters high!
Li Hao did not pause.
The sonic boom exploded again!
He appeared on the top of the demonic dragon's head as if by teleportation.
With his right index and middle fingers joined together, golden solar battle energy condensed at his fingertips into a half-meter-long sword beam!
"cut!"
The sword's edge slashed fiercely at the demonic dragon's scales!
"clang!"
A deafening bang of metal colliding exploded.
Sparks flew everywhere.
However, the sword's edge only left a shallow white mark on the scales, from which a trace of dark purple blood seeped out.
"So hard?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Hao's eyes.
For the first time, their invincible fighting spirit was thwarted.
Moreover, against a demonic dragon over a hundred meters long, his half-meter-long sword beam was like scratching an iron plate with a fingernail—it could break the skin, but couldn't damage the root.
"Roar!" The demonic dragon roared in pain and violently shook its head!
The enormous head slammed into Li Hao with tremendous force!
Li Hao dodged easily with a swift movement.
But the next second...
The spikes on the demonic dragon's back suddenly lit up!
The tip of each spike glowed with a dark purple light.
"not good!"
With a thought, Li Hao instantly activated his bio-force field at full power.
Almost at the same moment.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Countless fine beams of energy shot out from behind the demonic dragon, emanating from countless sharp points.
Like a thousand guns firing simultaneously, covering the sky and the earth!
It covers every inch of space within a radius of several hundred meters.
There's nowhere to hide!
Li Hao's bio-force field was operating at full capacity. The beams of light that entered the field slowed down, but there were too many of them, layer upon layer.
"Bang!"
A beam of light broke through the force field and struck Li Hao's shoulder!
Followed by.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Countless beams of light hit their targets in succession!
Li Hao was blasted backward, crashing through an abandoned building, then a second, and then a third.
"Boom boom boom!"
He smashed three huge holes in the three buildings, and finally embedded himself hard into a thick concrete wall, with cracks spreading like a spider web for hundreds of meters!
Smoke and dust filled the air.
The demonic dragon hovered in mid-air, its vertical pupils fixed on the ruins, and let out a triumphant roar.
But the next second.
"Bang!"
The ruins exploded!
Li Hao flew out of the smoke and dust, patting the dust off his body.
His clothes had several holes, and the exposed skin only had a few light red marks, not even broken.
"Not bad," he said, stretching his shoulders. "But it's not quite enough to hurt me."
The demonic dragon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.
Its all-out area attack... only tickled him?
Li Hao grinned.
"It's my turn."
The sound exploded!
He rushed towards the demonic dragon like a shooting star.
This time, there will be no more probing.
One punch!
"Bang!"
The violent force slammed into the demonic dragon's abdomen!
The air exploded.
The shock wave was formed instantly.
The giant dragon, over a hundred meters long, was struck and arched upwards, its scales shattered, and dark purple blood spurted out!
Two punches!
"Bang!"
They all hit the same spot!
Ripples spread through the air, radiating outwards.
The walls, already in ruins, were completely shattered.
The demonic dragon was sent flying, its scales shattered completely, revealing a bloody and mangled wound beneath!
Three punches!
"Bang!"
The fist smashed right into flesh!
The demonic dragon let out a piercing scream.
Its massive body was slammed sideways, crashing through two ruined buildings before slamming into the ground, creating a crater a hundred meters in diameter!
Li Hao hovered in mid-air, looking down at the demonic dragon struggling in the pit.
"It's over a hundred meters long, so it can hold its own."
A slight smile appeared on his lips as he flexed his wrists.
"Then give me a few more punches."
He was about to dive again.
"call!"
A dark shadow swept in from the side, accompanied by a whistling sound.
The giant tail of the demonic dragon!
The coccyx, covered in bone spurs, lashed out at Li Hao like a hundred-meter-long steel whip!
Li Hao swayed slightly and easily dodged.
The giant tail slammed into the nearby ruins.
"Boom!"
The entire area of ruins was swept away!
Concrete blocks, steel bars, and gravel flew in all directions like cannonballs.
A trench tens of meters long was forcibly carved out of the ground!
Using the force of the swing, the demonic dragon twisted its body violently.
It plunged headfirst into the ground.
"boom!"
Dust exploded.
Its hundred-meter-long body actually managed to burrow into the ground!
All that remained was a huge, bottomless black hole.
··········
the other side.
A white figure swiftly swept past the dilapidated buildings and flew away into the distance.
It was the woman who had fought the demonic dragon earlier.
A towering silhouette gradually appeared on the horizon ahead.
That was her base—Dawn Base.
To be precise, it should be called "Dawn Survivors Camp".
It's just that people got used to calling it that, and now everyone just calls it Dawn Base.
Lin Yue sped away.
The base's perimeter wall is very high, reaching over a hundred meters, and is constructed from a mixture of reinforced concrete and the bones of mutated beasts.
There is a watchtower every fifty meters on the wall, with evolved beings taking turns to guard the top of the tower.
It was afternoon, and several teams were on patrol.
Lin Yue swooped down from the sky and landed in front of the base gate.
The two evolved beings guarding the gate saw that it was her and quickly opened the door.
"Captain Lin is back!"
"Captain Lin, you've worked hard!"
Lin Yue nodded and stepped into the base.
The inside of the base is a completely different world from the outside.
Vast stretches of farmland are neatly arranged, planted with high-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.
Some people are working in the fields, bending over to weed and water.
In the distance, there are large areas of livestock farms, from which the sounds of pigs and sheep can be heard.
The air was filled with the smell of soil and excrement, but Lin Yue felt at ease smelling it.
This is the taste of a living person.
It's the taste of hope.
She walked along the main road, her gaze sweeping over the people who were working.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead.
"Stop! Don't run!"
"Grab him!"
Lin Yue looked up.
A thin young man was running desperately toward the towering wall.
He leaped into the air and flew straight up.
It was about to fly over the 100-meter wall.
A patrolman behind him suddenly waved his hand.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air from his hand, spanning dozens of meters, and struck the young man directly in the back.
"what!"
The young man was in excruciating pain all over his body. He screamed and collapsed to the ground, his back charred and bleeding profusely.
The patrolman caught up and stepped on his back.
"Run! Why did you stop running?"
Another patrolman pulled out a leather whip and lashed out at her face!
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Each lash whistled through the air, striking the young man's back and instantly tearing his skin and flesh.
"I'll let you run! I'll let you run!"
The young man screamed, curled up in a ball, but gritted his teeth and refused to beg for mercy.
The workers around stopped what they were doing and watched this scene from afar, their eyes filled with numbness and sighs.
Someone whispered, "Why bother... there's no escaping it..."
Another, even softer voice said, "His sister was... Sigh, if I were him, I'd want to run away too."
"Stop talking, it'll be troublesome if someone hears you."
Lin Yue stood not far away, watching this scene.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
But she did not go forward.
Because this kind of thing happens every day.
This is the rule of this base—might makes right.
The management controls everything, and ordinary people can only do manual labor in exchange for food and shelter.
As for wanting to leave?
That is impossible.
Once inside the walls, only the dead can get out.
And those in management...
A hint of disgust flashed in Lin Yue's eyes.
She was well aware of the filthy things those people did behind the scenes, despite their outwardly respectable appearances.
But she couldn't control it.
She was just a "henchman" at the base, responsible for dealing with powerful zombies.
She has no power to change the internal rules.
I don't want to change.
Because once you get involved, you'll get caught up in those dirty dealings.
She just wants to become stronger.
So strong that they can ignore all that nonsense.
Strong enough to protect those you want to protect.
That's it.
"Team Leader Lin!"
A voice interrupted her thoughts.
She turned her head to look.
Three people in neat uniforms walked quickly towards them. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man in his forties with a big smile on his face.
The other party was one of the base's management personnel, named Zhao Weiguo, whom everyone called Commander Zhao.
Like her, Zhao Weiguo was also a level 5 evolver.
"Captain Lin, you've worked hard!" Zhao Weiguo said with a beaming smile. "How did it go? Did you manage to take down the Demon Dragon King?"
Lin Yue said calmly, "It got away."
"It ran away?" Zhao Weiguo's smile froze. "This...that beast ran away again?"
"It burrows underground," Lin Yue said. "I can't hurt it."
Zhao Weiguo sighed: "This Demon Dragon King is the weakest among the level five, but it has the ability to burrow underground, which makes it too cunning."
Even evolved beings stronger than it couldn't kill it; this beast was incredibly good at hiding.
Lin Yue remained expressionless.
Seeing this, Zhao Weiguo got back to the main topic, "Captain Lin, there's a mission you need to take care of."
"What mission?"
"You know, recently a new base has suddenly appeared to the east of our base... well, how should I put it, a new base."
Zhao Weiguo's expression was strange. "It just appeared out of nowhere, without any warning. It's too bizarre."
