The owner of the general store had already prepared transportation. He moved quickly, but in the end, he still wasn't faster than the aberrant beasts.
Humanity was not entirely ignorant of the beast hordes deep within the wasteland.
Especially the three aberrant beasts standing at the pinnacle of evolution—even children a few years old knew their names.
Aberrant beasts that had mutated to such a realm shared one designation: calamity behemoths!
Big meant strong!
Though nature did indeed have a very few exceptions, in most cases, size also determined the level of one's strength.
The three beast kings appearing now had each unleashed enormous disasters in human history and possessed records of destroying the ecosystems of human cities.
The leading calamity behemoth resembled a fish—a whale—but countless "tentacles" covered its body. Every tentacle was pitch-black, made of something that seemed impossible for nature to produce. Beneath the tentacles lay densely packed scales, while the most eye-catching feature was the enormous sphere extending from its head!
Abyssal Troll: length, 207 meters; diameter, 58 meters; weight, 139,500 tons. It had evolved a biological atomic reactor within its body. Its tentacles were not used for hunting, but to gather hydrogen from the air...
In an instant, such data naturally flashed through countless people's minds. And this was still data from ten years ago. Given the evolutionary speed of aberrant beasts, the current Abyssal Troll had surely grown even stronger.
Even exceptionally sturdy humans generally weighed no more than three hundred jin—0.15 tons. Leaving aside the atomic reactor evolved inside the Abyssal Troll, the difference in weight alone was a millionfold.
A monster like that, even without making any move, merely appearing within one's field of vision, was enough to utterly crush a person's fighting spirit.
And this time, there was more than one
