The toxic mist only corroded the Destroyer's clothes, causing no damage to her body or even her hair.
The Destroyer's prolonged survival in the apocalypse had evolved her into having advanced toxin resistance.
After her rebirth, Mo Ran had severed her contract with all spider swarms, thus having fewer resources at her disposal. Coupled with the fact that Mo Ran was still one metamorphosis away from returning to her peak form, the current Mo Ran was no match for the Destroyer.
"Ugh..."
The Destroyer looked up at Mo Ran, her eyes filled with killing intent!
Previously, when she had jumped up to pursue Mo Ran, she had fallen into a series of traps. Although these traps were not fatal to her, the pain was real.
This had made the Destroyer furious!
"Roar!"
The Destroyer let out a wild roar and fiercely smashed her fist into the trunk of the giant tree where Mo Ran was.
With a boom, the giant tree, ten meters in diameter, snapped and slowly fell.
Mo Ran quickly jumped onto another tree.
However, before she could steady herself, the trunk of this tree also snapped, and the branches began to sway violently.
Thus, Mo Ran continuously leaped from tree to tree.
The Destroyer, charging headlong, broke all the giant trees Mo Ran perched on!
"We have to go help Sister Mo Ran, she can't do it alone!"
Zhang Mo shouted loudly.
"Such a strange... feeling..."
Meanwhile, Xiao Bai seemed entranced, staring blankly at her palm, her other hand gently caressing her face.
"Sister Xiao Bai, wake up!"
Zhang Mo grabbed Xiao Bai's arm and shook it forcefully.
However, even though Xiao Bai stumbled several times and almost fell from being shaken, her gaze remained somewhat unfocused, and she kept murmuring to herself.
"Rumble... Caw... Woo~"
A sound resembling a train whistle echoed.
Roide walked towards the giant forest with heavy steps.
His long legs left deep imprints on the ground.
"Great, the big guy is here!"
Zhang Mo exclaimed, clapping his hands as he watched Roide.
This was the first time he was viewing Roide from directly below.
It was like a massive mountain slowly moving overhead, with countless fine patterns on its abdomen.
"Momo, are you alright!"
Suddenly, a scent of fragrance wafted over, and then Zhang Mo felt his face sink into two warm, resilient masses.
It was Katerina!
Although Zhang Mo's vision was obscured, he recognized his mother's scent.
It was only then that he suddenly understood why he had felt that the fake Katerina in the elevator was problematic; it was the scent!
The fake Katerina could transform into his mother's appearance, but she couldn't possibly replicate the scent identically!
"Mom, I'm fine now... If you don't let go soon, I'll suffocate..."
Zhang Mo said, panting slightly.
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Katerina then released Zhang Mo.
"Mom, hurry and find a way to save Sister Mo Ran, she's fighting the big and little Bai!"
Zhang Mo urged.
"Big and little Bai?"
Katerina looked confused. She glanced up at Xiao Bai, who was standing still.
Isn't this person right here? Where are the big and little Bai!?
"He might be referring to the Destroyer!"
At this moment, Wang Zihao, accompanied by Qing Feng and the mercenary group, also arrived.
After Qing Feng parted ways with Zhang Mo, he returned to the camp and soon encountered Katerina.
As the two chatted, they immediately discovered the problem.
The mercenary group, who were on shift change, also noticed many missing people.
Without a doubt, the mole was within the black market, and Wang Zihao was responsible.
Therefore, he brought the group and Qing Feng and Katerina to pursue.
"The Destroyer? Sounds very formidable!"
Qing Feng said excitedly.
"Yes, very few people have survived encounters with the Destroyer. Wherever she goes, there is devastation. She leaves no survivors, neither the refugees nor the mutated creatures!"
"Her appearance bears some resemblance to this young lady Xiao Bai. The first time I saw Mr. Zhang Chen and Miss Xiao Bai, I almost mistook her for the Destroyer."
Wang Zihao added.
"Is she that strong?"
Qing Feng became even more excited.
"Indeed, this fellow is not to be underestimated. Remember the siege by the faceless last few days? Those giant faceless were like toys in front of the Destroyer..."
"So, my suggestion is, I will send a small contingent of mercenaries to lure the Destroyer out of the vicinity of the walled city."
"The others will set fires, burning all the vegetation near the walled city, and then retreat inside. Perhaps this can help us avoid the Destroyer's attack!"
Wang Zihao said calmly.
In the ultimate apocalypse, there were numerous monsters that survivors couldn't defeat. To preserve the walled city, the most common method was to sacrifice a small group of people to ensure the safety of the majority.
These sacrificed individuals were called "dead soldiers," and they received the highest standards of food, drink, and entertainment, all to be effective at critical moments.
"Stronger than the giant faceless? Then I really want to try!"
Qing Feng said, then lightly leaped up, hugged Roide's spiky thigh, and was directly carried along with a single step towards the giant forest...
"Hey! Are you even listening to me at all!"
Wang Zihao said helplessly.
Did Qing Feng's focus only remain on "this fellow is strong" and completely disregard the rest of the conversation?
There were plenty of powerful monsters in the apocalypse, but could you really fight them all?!
"Follow your plan. As for Qing Feng and Mo Ran, I'll find a way to get them back!"
Katerina said.
"Alright, I'll have my people prepare. Once you've brought Mo Ran and Qing Feng back, I'll initiate the plan!"
"Also... such a major incident has occurred at the camp, should we report it to Mr. Zhang Chen?"
Wang Zihao said hesitantly.
Speaking of which, this was a mistake made by his subordinates. If Zhang Chen were to investigate, he would likely suffer.
However, this matter absolutely could not be concealed. Otherwise, if something beyond control were to happen, it wouldn't just be suffering.
"Brother Chen is probably not having an easy time either. If we can resolve it, that would be the best. If we really can't, then we'll contact him!"
"As long as he's not in combat, it won't take much time to use Xiao Ruan to open a portal and bring him back!"
Katerina said.
"Okay, we'll do as you say!"
Wang Zihao nodded. Since it was Zhang Chen's wife who had spoken, if anything went wrong later, it wouldn't be his fault. You deal with your own family matters!
"No, this is a decision we made together!"
Katerina shook her head and said with a smile.
It was originally a simple matter, but Wang Zihao, you're trying to shirk responsibility, so I'll bring you along too.
Wang Zihao chuckled awkwardly, his face filled with bitterness.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted from the giant forest.
Then, a colossal shadow flew up, obscuring the sky, and countless buildings rained down...
It was Roide?!
Roide was sent flying?!
