Chapter 302: White Rain Strikes
Cries, gunshots, explosions.
Various sounds rang out behind Chen Ran.
Chen Ran ran away quickly, ignoring everything.
“I will be fine.”
“I will be fine!”
A scream rang out in the air, the girls who were lighting fires just fell down, hitting a hard rock, causing a hole in one of their heads. Chen Ran dared not look.
He turned around and saw in front of him. Pieces of body parts, broken bones, organs, and heads kept falling from the human body.
They fell on the grass, in the mud, and on the rocks.
Chen Ran looked back and saw Captain Zhuo Long standing on a high ground, holding two machine guns, covered in blood, angrily roaring and firing at the serpent-like creature circling around him.
Soon his figure was blocked by segments of the pale serpent body.
Chen Ran shouted and ran into a forest, his chest heaving, feeling like a flame burning in his lungs.
At the corner of his eye, he caught sight of something darting through the trees on his left.
Chen Ran dared not look directly, he caught a glimpse that it was a gray shadow, resembling a train but much larger.
As the gray shadow suddenly accelerated, the trees in front were lifted into the air one by one and crashed back down.
Suddenly, the gray shadow darted horizontally and appeared in front of Chen Ran.
But Chen Ran could see clearly that the shadow was not closely attached to the ground, there was at least over a meter of distance.
Chen Ran yelled out, but instead of slowing down, he ran even faster.
Just as he was about to crash into the shadow, he used a slide to glide from the now icy smooth grass, slipping beneath the shadow.
“Success!”
Chen Ran felt joy in his heart.
Suddenly, it was dark again.
Right in front, a gaping abyss opened up, Chen Ran could see the thick, slimy walls inside the mouth, along with a huge, frog-like tongue.
Like a mosquito, he slipped himself into the mouth.
The big mouth closed shut.

Longquan Base.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Minister Xiao Yun from the Law Enforcement Department finally walked into his office.
The work at the Law Enforcement Department has always been quiet, except a few months ago when ‘Black Waves’ company made trouble, things have been peaceful at the base, giving Xiao Yun little to worry about.
Originally, he thought it wouldn’t be long before ‘Black Waves’ company came back to settle scores with the pharmaceutical companies.
Speaking of which, Xiao Yun was quite reluctant about ‘Black Waves’ company leaving, as his wallet shrank a lot after the company left.
As a few months passed, ‘Black Waves’ company seemed to forget about the incident, they didn’t come back looking for trouble or try to reclaim the Medicine Valley.
Not long ago, a group of travelers from Qingyang informed Xiao Yun that ‘Black Waves’ company had gone bankrupt.
Also, Qingyang City experienced a major change, and the city was almost destroyed.
From then on, Xiao Yun no longer felt upset about not being able to move into the underground city.
“Little Liu, have you seen my portable radio?”
“Isn’t it in your drawer?”
“Is it? Oh, it is indeed.”
Xiao Yun put on the portable radio, which was now considered a rare item that money couldn’t buy.
It contained some snippets of Peking Opera and cross-talk that Xiao Yun personally enjoyed, things he had been listening to for years.
Every afternoon, he would listen to it, it had become a habit.
Just like now, sitting on the vine chair with headphones on, he started humming along.
Xiao Yun wasn’t sure how much time had passed when his assistant suddenly shook him and said, “What’s wrong?”
Seeing Little Liu’s mouth moving but not hearing any sound, Xiao Yun remembered he was listening to music, so he took off his earphones and asked again, “What’s wrong?”
Without waiting for Little Liu’s response, Xiao Yun already knew what was happening. As he wasn’t deaf, he could clearly hear the loud alarm of the giant beast approaching the base.
“Alarm! Alarm!”
“Giant beast signal detected approaching the base. All residents must evacuate to the shelter immediately.”
“Announcing again…”
Xiao Yun was a bit confused.
Giant beast?
It’s been many years since a huge wild animal has come near the base, he starts to doubt if he’s mistaken.
Looking out the window, Xiao Yun sees chaos in the street. Who are the people living in the base?
Definitely not the obedient little sheep in the underground city. Anyone who dares to come to this forbidden place doesn’t have their head screwed on right. Now that he hears a giant wild animal is heading towards the base, does he expect them to listen and seek shelter?
That would only happen if the sun rises from the west.
Xiao Yun doesn’t need to look to know that everyone is scrambling to leave the base, and the base won’t stop them.
The main focus in the base is definitely on the giant wild animal now.
“It shouldn’t be a tough wild animal, probably one that escaped from the safe zone, where mostly lower-ranked wild animals are found.”
Even though he said that, Xiao Yun still leaves the office. Even if they’re lower-ranked, they’re not something he, without a mecha, can fight against.
If he were to be stepped on and killed, that would be too unjust.
Xiao Yun hurried to the high-level shelter at the base, where he saw mechas heading towards the outer security zone, preparing to fight giant beasts.
The high-level shelter at the base was transformed from an underground mall, with three layers of defense armor.
Xiao Yun walked out of the elevator into a lobby, where he saw that all levels of base management were present.
“Do we know what giant beast it is?” Xiao Yun asked.
At that moment, screens in the lobby lit up, projecting an image of the base surroundings, with snow falling.
Xiao Yun was taken aback, “It’s snowing?”
It wasn’t supposed to snow yet.
Soon, trees in the forbidden area fell, and dust filled the air.
Next, cars emerged from the forest, with people armed with rifles firing into the trees and others using rocket launchers.
After a moment, suddenly a bunch of trees flew out of the forest and crashed into the convoy like rain.
Unluckily, the cars were hit, causing them to flip over lightly or turn into a pancake with both the people and the car.
Following that, a gray shadow dashed out of the forest, on the screen, Xiao Yun could see clearly, it was a frog!
But soon realized, that thing only had a head resembling a frog, while the body was like a snake, covered with bumps all over the long snake-like body, each bump embedded with a face.
Xiao Yun exclaimed, “upper rank giant beast, White Rain?”
Someone shouted, “Wait, this doesn’t look exactly like White Rain, when did that thing start growing human faces on its body?”
“That’s not the main issue, the problem is, isn’t White Rain in a dangerous zone? How did it escape the restricted area?”
One question after another was raised by the people.
Until someone asked, “Can our base’s mecha defeat White Rain?”
In the quiet hall, Xiao Yun shouted in panic, “Quick, quick, contact Guangling City.”
“Hurry!”
