Chapter 369: Chapter 344: Are They Raised by the Xuanfeng Alliance?

Inside the farmhouse.

Soldiers from Myanmar patrolled back and forth.

Cai Caida, Mei Luo Ye, and a group of Myanmar military officers were gathered around an electronic map, drawing routes and discussing their plans.

By their calculations, the city before them should be falling any moment now.

The handful of resistance fighters had already held out for an impressively long time. They had to be at their limit.

Sure enough, a moment later, a soldier rushed in and reported, "Mr. Cai Caida, the latest report is in! We’ve completely taken the city. We can enter now."

"Excellent," Cai Caida said excitedly. He then ordered Mei Luo Ye, "Notify everyone to enter the city. Then, prepare to set out for Boya Central City. We’ll take it in one fell swoop."

"Yes, sir. I’ll make the arrangements right away." Mei Luo Ye replied and headed outside.

He had just issued the order and the soldiers were still assembling when a patrol leader ran over. "Sir, something unusual has happened. A helicopter landed not far from the farmhouse."

"I sent men to investigate, but we lost contact with them after they entered the forest. I suspect something’s over there. Should we organize a team to check it out?"

Mei Luo Ye’s brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

A helicopter suddenly appearing in a place like this was indeed suspicious.

More importantly, his men had gone in and lost contact. Even an idiot could guess what that meant.

"We have to send someone to investigate. We can’t have anything unexpected happening behind us after we enter the city." Mei Luo Ye gave the order directly, deciding he would only be at ease if he led a team to check it out himself.

He knew just how risky Mr. Cai Caida’s decision was this time.

If they couldn’t take Boya in one go and gave Boya and the Xuanfeng Alliance time to react, they would be in serious trouble.

After all, their current operation was a serious violation of international treaties.

Therefore, they couldn’t afford even the slightest mishap.

Mei Luo Ye immediately assembled a team and followed the patrol leader out of the farmhouse.

「Soon.」

Several military vehicles drove up to the edge of a forest.

「At this moment.」

Inside the forest, a helicopter had landed.

Red Lizard and the pilot stuck close to Lu Feng, nervously eyeing the massive beasts all around them.

They didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

Seeing these beasts again, they were still utterly shocked.

The giant snake, in particular, was incredibly intimidating.

They noticed it was even larger than before, its scales thicker and gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

Most notably, a horn had actually grown on its head.

A snake’s head shouldn’t have a horn, which meant this was no longer just a snake.

And all around, bodies lay on the ground.

They were Myanmar’s soldiers. After entering, they had been killed in an instant under the beasts’ claws.

Lu Feng walked up to the giant snake and activated the holographic computer on his wrist, which served as the vessel for Xiaozhi.

Everyone was curious about the Xuanfeng Alliance’s God of Hackers, but who would have known the God of Hackers was right here on his wrist?

Who would believe that the watch-like device was actually a supercomputer?

A moment later, the holographic computer on Lu Feng’s wrist projected a holographic virtual screen, on which a figure appeared.

If Cai Caida were here, he would be shocked to discover it was his own image.

With Xiaozhi, no network or communication system was safe. By now, it had naturally figured out who in Myanmar had replaced Sayer to invade Boya.

It was this man, Cai Caida. Moreover, he was the most powerful person in Myanmar. Sayer had been a problem, but this Cai Caida was a major one.

However, once Cai Caida was dealt with, Myanmar would no longer be a problem. In fact, Myanmar itself would soon have big problems of its own.

With Sayer and Cai Caida, two of the top three most powerful figures, dead, the remaining one wouldn’t be able to keep control. That would surely be the start of a power struggle.

One had to remember that Myanmar was already a chaotic region. The northern areas, in particular, were previously ruled by warlords, with frequent conflicts.

Without the suppression of Sayer and Cai Caida, one could only imagine what would happen.

Perhaps with a little maneuvering, their Xuanfeng Alliance could even absorb a large number of people from Myanmar.

After all, the Xuanfeng Alliance’s biggest problem was its insufficient population.

As for whether they could win the loyalty of the people they absorbed, that wasn’t a concern at all.

For people surviving in such a chaotic region, when their lives became several times, or even ten times better than before, would anyone really want to go back to their old way of life?

That’s impossible, unless they had a screw loose.

"Memorize his face. After you charge into that farmhouse, take care of him," Lu Feng instructed the giant snake directly.

The giant snake had already advanced to the level of a Mutated Beast King, and its intelligence was higher now.

To the utter astonishment of Red Lizard and the helicopter pilot, it actually nodded at Lu Feng.

"ROAR!"

"ROAR! ROAR!"

"..."

A few Mutant Hyenas let out roars. They had detected approaching people.

Outside the forest, several military vehicles came to a stop.

Mei Luo Ye froze as he stepped out of the vehicle.

He had also heard those bestial roars.

It instantly brought back some very unpleasant memories.

Mr. Sayer had been killed by a pack of beasts while under the protection of their own army.

Suddenly, Mei Luo Ye’s expression changed drastically. ’It can’t be, can it?’

He had made a connection.

’Beasts, a forest, and scouts losing contact...’

’This...’

"Fall back! Quick!" The more Mei Luo Ye thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

’If it’s really them, the men I brought in these few vehicles won’t even be enough for a snack.’

The patrol leader, however, just stared at Mei Luo Ye in utter confusion.

’We’re already here, and we’re just leaving?’

’Wasn’t our purpose to investigate the situation inside?’

’Who was it that just said we couldn’t leave any hidden dangers behind us and had to make sure everything was clear?’

’And now he wants to retreat immediately without even going in?’

’Is this guy schizophrenic or something?’

Just then, a series of roars echoed from the woods.

Hearing these roars, Mei Luo Ye’s face turned even uglier. ’It’s them.’

He would never forget those roars.

The next moment, enormous beasts came lunging out of the forest one after another.

At that, the patrol leader’s eyes widened in horror. He remembered something—Mr. Sayer had been mauled to death by a pack of beasts.

Although he had been stuck far back on the mountain path and hadn’t seen it happen, he knew the beasts had slaughtered many of their comrades. The claw marks and bite wounds on the corpses were horrifying to behold.

’Are these the same beasts?’

’Their bodies really are that huge.’

Now he understood. The reason Mei Luo Ye wanted to retreat was because of them.

The surrounding Myanmar soldiers descended into chaos. They had, of course, heard the news that Mr. Sayer was killed by beasts. Some of them had even witnessed the brutal carnage firsthand. The moment they saw these beasts charge out, all the color drained from their faces. With almost no hesitation, they scrambled to flee.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

How could human speed possibly compare to that of a Mutant Beast?

Before they could even get back to their vehicles, the Mutant Beasts had already blocked their path. All they could do was anxiously raise their weapons and fire wildly at the creatures.

Unfortunately, without a coordinated formation, their attacks couldn’t harm these Mutant Beasts at all. In their panic, the already-poor marksmanship of the Myanmar soldiers worsened, and many of their shots missed, easily dodged by the Mutant Hyenas and Mutant Gray Wolves.

Immediately after, a series of blood-curdling screams rang out.

One by one, the soldiers were pounced upon by the massive beasts and torn apart by tooth and claw in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the drivers of the military vehicles didn’t dare to linger. They even abandoned the Myanmar soldiers. Bullets were useless against these beasts!

Mei Luo Ye had been prepared. He had started fleeing early, grabbing onto a military vehicle and scrambling aboard.

As for the patrol leader, by the time he realized he needed to escape, it was too late. A Mutant Gray Wolf pounced and killed him.

After the military vehicle had fled some distance, Mei Luo Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could fully exhale, his eyes shot wide open in horror. A colossal figure had slammed violently into his vehicle.

It was a giant snake, its body even thicker than the military truck.

’How could a snake be this big?’

That was Mei Luo Ye’s first thought. Then, he felt the entire vehicle being flipped over. He hastily jumped out, managing to avoid the worst of it. But after rolling twice and getting to his feet, he saw another military vehicle tumbling toward him, about to crush him.

’Is this giant snake raised by the Xuanfeng Alliance?’

This thought flashed through Mei Luo Ye’s mind in the instant before the truck crushed him to death.

’Otherwise, it’s too much of a coincidence that this has happened twice.’

Soon, the area fell silent. All the soldiers Mei Luo Ye had brought with him had been killed by the Mutant Beasts.

Then, the beasts began to move slowly toward the farmhouse. Lu Feng had appeared on the giant snake’s head. He said, "Xiaozhi, send me Cai Caida’s location."

...

「Inside the farmhouse.」

Cai Caida was ready. He planned to lead his men into the city and then head straight for Boya Central City.

"Where is Mei Luo Ye? Where did he go?"

Cai Caida’s furious voice soon rang out.

He had tried to contact Mei Luo Ye several times, but there was no answer from the communicator. ’Is that guy starting to ignore my authority?’

"Go find Mei Luo Ye for me," Cai Caida could only order a military officer beside him angrily.

The officer didn’t dare hesitate and immediately went out to find Mei Luo Ye. But just as he stepped outside, cries of alarm and a burst of dense gunfire suddenly erupted within the farmhouse.

A battle seemed to have broken out.

"Dammit, what’s happening now?" Cai Caida was already furious that Mei Luo Ye wasn’t answering. Hearing the chaos at the farmhouse only fueled his rage.

"It might be Boya’s resistance forces," the officer could only guess.

"Didn’t they say they were taken care of... What the hell is that thing?" Cai Caida was mid-sentence when he suddenly stared in horror at the giant beast that had just leaped into view.
