Resurrection Empire

Chapter 608 - 229: Day Three, Sutured Giant Beast, Plummeting

It turns out that when human civilization fully enters the future technology era, under absolute resource and technological suppression, the revolutionary path of encircling the cities from the countryside is completely unfeasible. A new road that aligns with Source Star’s unique characteristics must be taken.

Ren Zhong realized this from the beginning; today was merely proof of it.

Starfire Town was already the most powerful settlement of wasteland dwellers in recent decades in all aspects, with military power even stronger than the more influential Nameless City of the past.

Moreover, dealing with Starfire Town was merely a project team within the Mengdu Group.

Yet Starfire Town still had not a shred of hope.

Technological dominance was akin to a dimension-reducing strike.

On the third day, at dawn of the 121st day of the Ren Zhong Era, the offensive of the Ruined Beast slightly subsided, with only occasional gunfire echoing in the town.

But no one, including Ren Zhong who had just woken up and was quickly donning his gear, let down their guard, remaining fully alert.

This tranquility lasted for about three minutes.

Then the pile of Ruined Beast corpses amassed under the wall began to emit strange tremors.

Zheng Tian, who had just woken up, immediately realized something was amiss and ordered the deployment of incendiary bombs to quickly incinerate these Ruined Beast remains.

According to conventional wisdom, crystal chips would expire, but effective metal components in Ruined Beast remains would not.

These were the precious assets of Ren Zhong and the wasteland dwellers of Starfire Town.

If they survived this ordeal, even if the crystal chips had expired and failed, the heap of corpses alone would be enough to allow the town’s survivors to live a life more affluent than the wasteland dwellers of Chromium Carbon Town.

Zheng Tian’s decision not to process the remains was correct.

Ren Zhong also agreed, merely reminding Zheng Tian to dispatch reconnaissance machines to keep an eye on the Ruined Beast remains, preventing living Ruined Beasts from using the remains as a cover to approach and uproot the city walls.

After detecting the anomaly in the corpse pile, Zheng Tian reacted swiftly, not even consulting Ren Zhong before ordering the deployment of incendiary bombs.

But it was still a step too late.

This was not Zheng Tian’s fault, but rather the Mengdu Group’s treacherousness and sudden assault.

A mere five seconds later, the mountainous pile of Ruined Beast remains started to surge and flow like waves, converging towards one place as if resurrected.

God knows how many Ruined Beast carcasses lay outside the wall—at least hundreds of thousands.

Once these remains moved, the earth trembled, and the momentum was tremendous.

At almost the same time, a massive number of Ruined Beasts capable of long-range attacks took flight from the flat ground outside the city, rapidly advancing, either spewing attacks or using their bodies to block the incendiary bombs.

Zheng Tian’s incineration efforts immediately failed.

In the glow of the flames, the metal components within the massive Ruined Beast remains converged, and a huge metal Ruined Beast, over three hundred meters tall, rose from the ground.

This beast had eight legs standing tall and straight, with long arms and a human-like torso.

Its appearance bore an uncanny resemblance to the Legion Beast.

The detector showed its energy level index exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand.

This meant it was Seventh Level.

Its body surface surged with a layer of energy shield, no type of specialized ammunition could leave even the slightest mark, only causing a series of clanging sounds.

It raised its giant hammer-like arms and slammed them onto the city walls.

The warriors on the city head bravely fought back, attempting to block its fists.

But all of this was in vain.

With just a single pounding of its fists, the sturdy city walls, which had withstood the Beast Tide’s impact for two whole days, crumbled and were torn apart.

Immediately after, it moved its eight long legs forward.

With its hands, it grabbed the torn wall and forcibly ripped it from top to bottom.

The ear-piercing sound of metal tearing echoed through the small town.

In the next moment, more than ten thousand Third Level Ruined Beasts and several hundred Level Four Ruined Beasts erupted from the ground outside the city walls, surging toward this breach.

Under the lead of the giant beast, the Ruined Beast’s total offensive began.

A tidal wave of the Beast Tide flooded into the town.

An extremely brutal street fight erupted in earnest.

Ma Xiaoling flew out, attempting to thwart this giant beast.

But despite having activated amplifiers and ramped up the output power of the Fifth Level armor deeply modified by Ju Qingmeng to nearly sixty thousand, it was useless. Neither her long-range bombardments nor close combat spears could do anything to the giant beast, unable to break through its defense.

The wasteland dwellers watched Ma Xiaoling repeatedly assault, only to be swatted away like a fly by the giant fists, growing increasingly desperate.

On the other end, having already departed from the Chenhui Mine Area, Ren Zhong, aboard a fast airship for Starfire Town, sent a protest via Purple Crystal Mining.
