Chapter 291: Chapter 292: Thunderous Roar

"The strength of this beast is becoming more terrifying!"

The leader of Shanchuan Base City was a middle-aged man with a firm face, slightly dark skin, and a strong military aura. Tian Yi frowned as he looked at the giant bear in the screen and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded, with a trace of worry on their faces. This isn’t easy to deal with!

They in Shanchuan Base City, have not been dealing with this Thunder Bear for the first time. After the end times, both sides have had many encounters.

As for the outcome, you can see that this Thunder Bear is still alive and well, which should make it clear.

They in Shanchuan Base City have gained no advantage over this Thunder Bear and have even suffered quite a bit.

This Thunder Bear was originally just a bear in Luohua Mountain of Shanchuan City. After the apocalypse, it went through the Blood Moon baptism and, like most beasts, awakened its abilities to become a Mutated Fierce Beast.

Moreover, it was relatively fortunate to awaken the rather powerful Thunder Ability.

The Thunder Bear’s ability allows it to both devour electric power and release terrifying thunderbolts. It has, on multiple occasions, directly drained the electricity from power stations within Shanchuan City’s area to enhance its own strength, acting extremely violently.

When Shanchuan Base City discovered that it could absorb power from power stations, everyone was dumbfounded, never imagining this guy’s ability to be so monstrous, far more than the simple Thunder Ability they imagined.

They had seen many Mutated Fierce Beasts awakening Thunder Ability, but never one as abnormal as this.

Of course, that wasn’t the most shocking thing for Shanchuan Base City; the most notorious aspect of this guy was its frenzied absorption of Power of Thunder during thunderstorms, accelerating its evolution speed.

For the Thunder Bear’s ability to absorb natural lightning, Shanchuan Base City held an extreme hatred; if not for this ability, the passive situation of Shanchuan Base City would not have existed.

Because Shanchuan Base City once conducted a very detailed investigation and tracking of this Thunder Bear, the report showed that each time after a thunderstorm, the Thunder Bear’s strength enhanced by a level.

It was precisely because of absorbing lightning that its power increased extremely quickly, causing each attempt by Shanchuan Base City to act against this beast to end hastily due to underestimation.

During every roar of this beast, it would release a large amount of incredibly powerful thunderbolts, destroying everything around. The authorities gave it a code name, "Thunderous Roar!"

And this time, the purpose of Thunderous Roar approaching Base City is probably for the city’s power stations.

Although it’s already the end times, to maintain the operation of the entire Base City, keep factories running, and barely allow the residents of the Base City to live a relatively modern life, the power stations of Shanchuan Base City are not small in scale, and the daily power output is a vast number.

And this electricity is what Thunderous Roar covets.

In this regard, Tian Yi was deeply worried. The power station is located within the Base City, and for Thunderous Roar to absorb electricity, it must break into the city.

If this beast succeeds, even if Shanchuan Base City is not destroyed, it will be severely devastated, and the survivors who were finally rescued will likely suffer heavy losses.

"Leader, we absolutely cannot let Thunderous Roar come any closer, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

An anxious suggestion from the higher-ups.

If Thunderous Roar breaks through, Shanchuan Base City’s stable situation will be instantly shattered.

Another high-ranking official, also with an unhappy expression, said, "Leader, this beast is getting closer to our city. At this moment, even asking for help from the Imperial Capital will be too late. We only have one choice left: to fight to the death.

Let’s gather all the strength we can muster and engage in a life-and-death battle with Thunderous Roar. If we can injure it, perhaps it will think twice about provoking our Base City and retreat."

At the same time, everyone present looked at Tian Yi, waiting for him to make a decision.

This issue concerns the survival of Shanchuan Base City, and it can’t be taken lightly.

"I understand your concerns. This beast is indeed targeting our Base City’s power station. If the power station is destroyed, we will have no power supply, which is absolutely unacceptable for Shanchuan Base City.

Moreover, if this beast wants to absorb electricity, it must break into the city, which will inevitably cause a large number of casualties. Such a consequence is unbearable for Shanchuan Base City, so no matter the cost, we cannot let Thunderous Roar succeed..."

Tian Yi’s expression grew solemn as he looked around at everyone and said seriously.

However, before Tian Yi could finish speaking, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Knock knock knock~

After several knocks, the voice of Tian Yi’s chief secretary sounded from outside the door.

"Leader, there’s an urgent report from the communications room that needs immediate attention from you!"

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the door.

"Come in!"

Tian Yi frowned slightly and said indifferently.

Creak~

Immediately, the door was pushed open, and a young man holding a report walked over in a hurry.

"Leader."

"Zhang, what’s so urgent?"

Tian Yi looked at Secretary Zhang, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang was usually quite steady, so what could have made him so agitated today?

"Leader, we just received intel from Beicheng Base City about the Corpse King. They say the Corpse King might have entered Shanchuan City but has now left, and its current whereabouts are unknown.

However, they advise us to be cautious and thoroughly search the city to prevent the Corpse King from sneaking in. Here is the detailed intel from Beicheng Base City. Leader, please have a look."

Secretary Zhang quickly spoke and handed the report to Tian Yi.

Upon hearing the mention of the Corpse King, everyone was taken aback, their faces showing surprise. The Corpse King came to Beicheng City?

But now its whereabouts are unknown. Where will it go? Will it come to Shanchuan City?

Hearing this, Tian Yi frowned deeply, picked up the report, glanced at it casually, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

Searching for the Corpse King? That’s indeed important.

But right now, with Shanchuan Base City barely holding on, how could he have the mind to deal with the Corpse King!

If they can’t get past Thunderous Roar, even if the Corpse King does come to Shanchuan City, it might not pose any threat to the Base City... Because, by then, the entire Base City might already be gone.
