Chapter 143: The Current Situation of Humanity

Boom!

Even with a mecha barrier, the piercing metal noise still reached Luo Yan’s ears, making them hurt, as if he heard the sharp sound of nails scraping on a blackboard.

Then he felt like he was being pressed to the ground.

Luo Yan’s vision suddenly became blurry.

He couldn’t breathe.

But he remembered Kang Shun’s reminder.

So, Luo Yan opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath.

This made him finally calm down.

But still feeling very anxious.

Normally, it would pass in just a few seconds.

But now, those few seconds suddenly felt extremely long.

At last.

Luo Yan felt the launch cabin slowing down, eventually coming to a gentle stop.

Looking through the panoramic window, he saw the pressure devices in operation, accompanied by the booming sound of hydraulic machinery.

The hatchway of the launch cabin finally opened.

Luo Yan’s eyes lit up, causing him to squint slightly, and then he controlled the mecha, walking out of the launch cabin.

He saw Dugu Changxin’s ‘Flying Thunder’ on his left side.

From the right side, Captain Yan Wenbo’s mecha, named ‘Embroidered Tiger’, came out.

This mecha looks slim, with red, gold, and silver colors painted on it.

It gives an overall feeling of grandeur, even a bit flashy.

Right after that.

Liu Yan’s ‘Stomach Snake’ and Kang Shun’s ‘Judge’ came out one after another.

The former has large brown robe-like stripes on the body, along with yellow and white fine lines, very good for camouflage.

The latter is jet black in color, with a classical design, resembling a black-faced judge.

Yan Wenbo was about to say something.

Suddenly, a fire light lit up ahead, followed by an explosion that sent shockwaves rolling, bending the trees towards the Great Lake District.

Large rocks and trees were flying in the strong wind, crashing loudly.

It turned out that the underground city’s war chariots and cannons designed to restrain giant beasts had started firing.

Hundreds of war chariots and cannons opened fire, sending a barrage of shots towards Giant Beast Mengji.

The giant beast remained calm, commanding the surrounding corpses to swiftly combine, forming a whirlwind of white bones that blocked many of the cannon shots.

The ground trembled.

The lake water churned.

Although the direction where the giant beast was located continued to burst with fireballs like fireworks, the giant beast remained unharmed.

Amidst the intense artillery fire, missiles soared into the air, leaving clear flame trails as they streaked across the sky above the forest, whistling towards the giant beast.

At this moment, several tentacles made of bones emerged through the gunfire and reached towards the sky.

The tentacles wrapped around the missiles, then threw them towards the group of vehicles and cannons.

Missile after missile spun and fell near the group of vehicles and cannons, with flames trailing behind, landing directly among them.

Suddenly.

Flames rose and expanded, resembling multiple volcanoes erupting at once, creating a terrifying surge of energy in an instant.

Even the mechas positioned in the rear had to prepare for protection.

Delicate models like the ‘Embroidered Tiger’ were being pushed back by the explosive wind.

This series of explosions nearly paralyzed the group of vehicles and cannons.

Next.

The tentacles made of corpses and bones were tangled together.

They formed a giant nearly a hundred meters tall!

The giant made of corpses and bones staggered towards the group of vehicles.

After a few steps, the giant collapsed, the corpses scattered, turning into a gray-white flood.

The gray tide surged, washing over the human vehicles and artillery positions.

Countless corpses kept hitting the fragile bunkers or the windshield of the vehicles.

Under the pressure of the bodies, the bunkers shattered and the glass shattered.

The bodies poured into the bunkers, squeezing into the vehicles.

For a moment.

In everyone’s view, there were many decaying bodies.

Inside the tank, sudden screams filled the air.

The soldiers tried desperately to escape the pile of bodies, but there was no way out. Countless bodies pressed and writhed.

Soon, their organs ruptured from the pressure, even their bones were deformed.

The gray tide seemed like a meat grinder, grinding and squeezing out a lot of human blood, adding a touch of bright color to the gray tide.

In the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan’s breathing was slightly heavy.

He directly felt the oppression brought by the high-level giant beast.

The giant beast itself did not move.

Just by controlling the bodies, such destruction was caused.

At this moment.

Fire dragons swept through the gray tide, burning bodies crackling, sending up thick smoke.

Luo Yan looked over.

Several mechas appeared on the front line.

They began clearing out the bodies.

To the left of the command console, a holographic window opened.

Inside, it displayed that Class Two Team Three had entered the battlefield.

They started the mission of annihilating giant beasts.

In the window, the list of Mecha Masters from Class Two Team Three was shown.

The captain of this small team is called Wu Jin, there are three members, and one backup pilot.

The backup pilot is a second-year student named Chen Dingsheng.

Luo Yan doesn’t have much of an impression of this senior.

He just remembers that he was classmates with Yang Likai and Liu Ruohan.

Right now.

Class Two Team Three.

Captain Wu Jin calmly said, "Dingsheng, you and Shishi stay behind and are responsible for clearing out the zombies."

"The rest of you come with me, stay alert, this is a powerful giant beast."

"Once the battle starts, keep moving, don’t give the enemy a chance to freeze your movements."

"Also, prepare the ‘revealing bomb’ and use it immediately when the giant beast goes invisible."

"Be careful, but don’t be afraid."

"Today, by capturing this giant beast, we will add another achievement to the military record of our Team Three!"

The team members enthusiastically agreed.

Just then.

The giant beast’s eyes twinkled.

Soon after, dark, illusory smoke spewed from its black faces all over its body.

Instead of wildly rising, the smoke condensed and formed a barrier-like object.

This black ‘barrier’ expanded outward, enveloping Mengji. When more artillery fire approached Mengji, it was all blocked by the ‘barrier’.

On the radio, a voice announced, "Attention, the giant beast has activated its ‘Anti-Membrane,’ cease firing immediately."

Over the team channel, Kang Shun’s voice sighed, "The ‘Anti-Membrane,’ if it weren’t for higher-ranking giant beasts using it, we wouldn’t need to create mechas; we could kill these things with our current weapon systems."

Luo Yan nodded almost imperceptibly.

In Giant Beast Common Sense Class, the teacher had mentioned that higher-ranking giant beasts would use the ‘Anti-Membrane.’

This barrier not only blocks attacks of all natures except Elemental Power but also reflects damage back.

This is why the Mecha Master needs to practice the Visualization Technique.

Attacks not formed by Elemental Power cannot penetrate the ‘Anti-Membrane’ and therefore cannot harm the giant beast.

Moreover, the higher the rank of the giant beast, the thicker the ‘Anti-Membrane,’ requiring a significant amount of Elemental Power to penetrate.

This is the current situation humanity faces.
