Chapter 64: Flying Up

No one expected that with the chaos below in the Refugee Camp, where humans and beasts were mixed together, the armed helicopter in the sky would strafe them recklessly.

Zhou Liming had previously estimated that his scales could withstand pistol bullets, but what he faced now was the specialized machine gun of an armed helicopter. The tearing sensation coming from his back where he was hit, the feeling of bullets breaking through his scales and embedding into his muscles, was all too clear.

The instant he was attacked, his muscles contracted violently, forcefully clamping down on the bullets and making them stay in his muscles.

Fresh blood gushed out from the bullet holes, dyeing his back blood red. This blow even caused Zhou Liming’s vision to flash with momentary darkness.

Zhou Liming blocked the strafing bullets, but the chaotic people nearby were not so lucky. This strafing from the specialized machine gun broke the terrified people in two. Severed limbs were everywhere. Where the strafing passed, a hideous path of blood appeared. Disbelief appeared on many people’s faces as they looked at the bullet hole in their stomach that was larger than a fist, then looked up at the armed helicopter in the sky. They slowly fell down, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

An Xiaowei stared in terror at the Human-shaped Fierce Beast blocking her. Its dark green scales were so hideous, and its face twisted in pain looked like a demon from hell.

“Ah…”

An Xiaowei screamed only now and subconsciously retreated into the tent. Because she was too hurried, she tripped and fell sitting on the ground.

The machine gun on the armed helicopter showed no intention of stopping. After adjusting, it spat fire again, crazily strafing the Flying Dragon Beast that was struggling to stand up. If the Flying Dragon Beast stood up and took off, it would be a disaster for the armed helicopter.

Two suspended missiles dragged thick white smoke in the air and instantly hit the Flying Dragon Beast.

The violent explosion knocked the Flying Dragon Beast down, and it let out a mournful cry. The people nearby who hadn’t had time to run were all torn apart and fell down. The terrified people desperately tried to get away from the Flying Dragon Beast. The armed helicopter in the sky had gone mad and didn’t care about the lives of the civilians at all.

The orders from above were that rather than letting the Flying Dragon Beast slaughter the people here, it was better to pay a certain price to take the Flying Dragon Beast down.

The order seemed good, but they underestimated this Level 4 Fierce Beast. The two missiles only blew off some of the Flying Dragon Beast’s scales. Its powerful body meant the shrapnel only embedded on the surface and could go no further.

The heavily injured Flying Dragon Beast let out a dragon’s roar. It flapped its wings violently, charged forward a few steps, and flew up.

“Stop it.”

The missiles on the armed helicopter fired again, bombing the Flying Dragon Beast. A tank that came to support from the city also fired an anti-aircraft missile, hitting the Flying Dragon Beast and knocking it down again. At the same time, the machine gun didn’t stop, pressing the attack on the Flying Dragon Beast firmly.

Rarely did they not pay attention to him. Zhou Liming endured the pain in his back and shouted, “Dean, Xiaowei, it’s me.”

An Xiaowei and the others inside, who were in a panic, were stunned. They almost couldn’t believe their eyes. The Human-shaped Fierce Beast in front of them was actually the Zhou Liming they knew?

Dean Zhou’s whole body trembled. “You, you, is that you, Liming?”

Zhou Liming nodded and said urgently, “Dean, I know you can’t believe it, but it’s true. The situation is bad right now. You need to leave here quickly. I will explain this to you later.” He endured the burning pain in his back, grabbed the tent, and tore it open, saying, “Go, quickly.”

The children were scared stiff and were all crying.

An Xiaowei looked at Zhou Liming, whose face showed pain, and saw blood dripping onto the ground. She said in panic, “You, you are bleeding.”

Zhou Liming smiled bitterly and said, “It’s fine, just a small injury. Take the children and leave.” He turned his head and saw another helicopter coming to support. His expression changed instantly, and he roared, “Hurry!”

Seeing Zhou Liming’s face change, and thinking of what she just saw—that where the machine gun swept, there were only corpses—An Xiaowei didn’t dare to hesitate. She pulled the children and pushed the Dean, hurriedly leaving. At this moment in this area, those who could escape had already escaped. Those who couldn’t were all unlucky people lying on the ground moaning, crippled by the attack.

“Found another target!”

The supporting armed helicopter quickly locked onto Zhou Liming. In their eyes, Zhou Liming was a monster attempting to harm the people below.

The machine gun suddenly opened fire. Two tongues of fire spat out, strafing towards Zhou Liming.

“Fuck!”

Zhou Liming gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to leave. Who knew if these bullets would pass him and hit the Dean and the others who hadn’t gotten far? Terrifying power surrounded his whole body. His scales seemed to stand up, like fur suddenly bristling, making him look like a hedgehog.

The bullets swept across the scales on his chest. The pain was unbearable. The bullets tore the scales, and several bullet heads embedded into his flesh. It was piercing pain.

Facing his bloody, injured self, Zhou Liming also went crazy. If he let them shoot like this, even in his Fierce Beast Form, he would only end up dead. At this moment, Zhou Liming, burning with rage, didn’t care what the armed helicopter represented. He gritted his teeth hard and started to sprint.

A persistent thought in his heart suddenly leaped up during his crazy sprint.

The genes inside his body were boiling at this moment. Under the powerful persistence, there seemed to be a slight change. The burning spot on his back suddenly went numb. It was as if something rushed out of his body. With a light flap, Zhou Liming’s speed in the air increased so that in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the armed helicopter.

Looking at the Human-shaped Fierce Beast suddenly enlarged in front of him, the pilot of the armed helicopter widened his eyes. He was a bit confused as to why the Fierce Beast would have a human face, and an expression that only humans had.

Zhou Liming fiercely crashed in and knocked a soldier in the cabin out of the helicopter. Zhou Liming reached out suddenly, grabbed the pilot’s neck, and with just a light pinch, crushed the entire neck. Zhou Liming, already in a state of rage, was driven mad by the violent emotions of the Fierce Beast.

The armed helicopter, having lost its pilot, began to plunge towards the ground.

Zhou Liming kicked off, and he was already flying in the sky. He stared coldly at the helicopter that crashed into the ground and exploded into a sea of fire. Zhou Liming was filled with surprise at the pair of black, demon-like wings that had appeared on his back. He didn’t expect that he would actually possess this kind of flying ability.

It seemed that the Fierce Beast Gene in his body still hid many unknown secrets.
