Boom!
A loud explosion was followed by a deafening roar.
Shen Yuan was startled, seeing a mutated brown bear over twenty meters in size rising from the collapsed ruins several kilometers away, roaring at the sky and the distance!
Shen Yuan almost gasped in disbelief, realizing it was the same mutated brown bear that had attacked the Southern Communication Building!
After being bombarded by so many bombers and hit by over a dozen missiles, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, it was still alive?
This was a terrifying mutated brown bear, akin to King Kong from a Hollywood blockbuster, perhaps even more fearsome. It ran on all fours with incredible speed, covering dozens of meters in just one second!
It was too fast, and crucially, it was running in this direction. Clearly, it held a grudge and was roaring at the bombers circling in the sky, seeking revenge!
"I can't wait any longer! I must make a decision immediately!"
Shen Yuan noticed that more mutant beasts were rushing this way, and there were also large numbers of undead approaching. The troops might not be able to hold them off and could retreat soon.
The 104 National Road and the highway were likely the most probable retreat routes for the ground forces. They would probably take the highway since the 104 National Road passed through many towns and villages, making it prone to traffic jams, accidents, or even undead blocking the way. The highway generally avoided towns and villages, allowing for relatively smooth travel.
"If the military takes the highway, then I can't take the highway!"
Although traveling the same route as the military would provide protection and might be safer.
But who could guarantee that a large-scale military operation wouldn't attract more terrifying mutant creatures? Not to mention if the military couldn't eliminate those swarming mutant creatures and were forced to retreat; those mutant creatures might not give up. If they continued to pursue, following the military could be even more dangerous.
Moreover!
Shen Yuan saw that most private cars, motorcycles, and Electric Vehicles chose to take the highway, clearly many "smart people" wanted to rely on the military for protection.
How could the military possibly protect so many people!
Where there are many people, chaos is sure to ensue!
"Take National Route 104!"
Shen Yuan no longer hesitated and revved his motorcycle, heading southeast along National Route 104.
The journey was smooth.
Five minutes later, he heard the dense sounds of bombing and explosions, along with the continuous terrifying roars.
Turning his head quickly, Shen Yuan witnessed unforgettable scenes!
A Mutated Brown Bear charged into the military ranks, swatting a Military Vehicle away with a single paw! The Military Vehicle flew through the air for several seconds before crashing down to the ground, killing an unknown number of people!
A white tiger roared, measuring over ten meters in length and more than five meters in height, leaping dozens of meters away. It opened its massive jaws and bit down on a tank, then violently tossed it several dozen meters away, where it smashed into an Arms Train, causing a thunderous explosion that triggered at least twenty vehicles to explode in succession, flames shooting into the sky!
One by one, Mutant Mice rampaged through the area; thousands of Mutant Mice converged into a gray torrent. Heavily armed soldiers attacked frantically but struggled to hold their ground, ultimately being overwhelmed by the Mutant Mice, with the sounds of squeaking mice, gnawing, and the screams of soldiers or ordinary people echoing everywhere!
The military's counterattack was equally grand and tragic!
Various explosives detonated one after another! Bombs, landmines, Grenades, and even Missiles!
Rows of firearms launched long-range or mid-short range attacks, and one by one, the Mutant Mice were swiftly shot down, temporarily halting the tide of Undead as they fell in droves.
The Mutated Brown Bear, already injured from missile attacks, was now heavily targeted and quickly blown to pieces.
This time it was truly dead, as both its front and back legs were blown off, and its chest was torn open, blood flowing like a river. Chunks of flesh were scattered, turning into a rain of blood.
The white tiger also could not escape its fate. Although it was fast and harder to deal with than the Grizzly Bear, it was still subjected to focused attacks from Bombers and ultimately overwhelmed by Torrential Bombs, leading to its demise.
This was a Hollywood blockbuster-like confrontation, an epic battle where nearly all the most powerful Mutant Beasts were killed. Thousands of Mutant Mice were almost completely wiped out, and countless Undead were eliminated.
However, the troops also suffered heavy losses; many Military Vehicles, tanks, and Missile trucks were destroyed, and several Bombers were shot down. The number of soldiers who died was unknown.
The highest casualties were among ordinary people!
The scene was one of desolation, with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
In the end, the troops regrouped and quickly retreated along the highway.
At this moment, Shen Yuan had already arrived at Dalong Lake.
Dalong Lake is the largest lake in Pengcheng New District and the second largest in Pengcheng Urban Area, with National Route 104 passing right by its southern shore.
As the motorcycle approached Dalong Lake, Shen Yuan heard continuous screams coming from ahead.
Soon, he saw many motorcycles and Electric Vehicles turning back, while private cars could not make the turn. In their haste to turn around, a traffic accident occurred with over a dozen vehicles colliding. The speed of the impact caused a chain explosion, culminating in flames shooting into the sky and an unending sound of explosions.
It was as if a brilliant firework display had erupted in this terrifying apocalypse!
"What happened up ahead?" Shen Yuan shouted.
"A dragon! There’s a dragon at Dalong Lake!"
"The dragon is eating people!"
Someone responded, then fled in panic, quickly leaving National Route 104 and rushing down other small paths to escape.
A dragon?
What’s going on?
How could there possibly be a dragon in this world!
Shen Yuan was astonished and hurriedly took out his military High-Powered Telescope to look ahead.
In the next moment, he was stunned!
There really was a dragon!
To call it a dragon was inaccurate, as it was different from the legendary divine dragons; it had no horns, no scales, and no claws—none of those iconic features. Instead, it was a giant snake.
A terrifying giant snake over 50 meters long!
It is said that the Amazonian Titanoboa can grow over ten meters long, and in ancient times, the Titanoboa was even longer. While folklore speaks of super snakes that are dozens or even hundreds of meters long, these are merely legends and have not been widely recognized or verified.
Now, Shen Yuan has seen it with his own eyes!
It was a giant snake with a body covered in white scales, its diameter exceeding one meter, chasing down the 104 National Highway at an incredible speed. Countless people were unable to escape in time and were bitten and swallowed whole by the giant snake.
This was a peculiar giant snake, as its head had two special protrusions that made it resemble the Azure Dragon from mythological tales, although its horns had yet to develop, still placing it within the category of snakes.
Was it a snake on the verge of transforming into a dragon?
The Southern Dynasties' "Records of Strange Tales" states: A serpent transforms into a jiao after five hundred years, a jiao becomes a dragon after a thousand years, and a dragon becomes a horned dragon after five hundred years and an Yinglong after a thousand years.
Some believe that the term "serpent" refers to large lizards, while others think it refers to small venomous snakes.
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Yuan has heard countless legends about dragons; some were quite detailed, and some even made it into newspapers. It’s unclear how many people believed them.
Once, Shen Yuan did not believe at all.
But now, seeing that Terrifying Giant Snake, Shen Yuan could not help but doubt:
Could it be that those legends were not entirely false? Could dragons really exist?
Or at least, could the Azure Dragon truly exist?
