Beast Tide

"It stinks a little!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Zhang Xuezhou woke up on time.

He quickly adjusted his body and came fully awake.

Then an indescribably foul stench flooded his nostrils, followed by a whispered warning from Zhang Manqian.

Zhang Xuezhou swept his gaze over the dim space and saw everyone shoveling dirt as if their lives depended on it. Even Wang Haoran had joined in.

Great clods of earth were dug out and quickly packed in behind them, allowing everyone to advance another half step or a full step.

The air in this space was limited, and everyone was not only covered in mud but smeared with feces as well.

Zhang Xuezhou had an especially thick coating.

As a result, when he rolled over and got up, he caught the powerful stink coming off his own body.

"Were we attacked by a beast pack?" Zhang Xuezhou murmured. "Have things gotten so bad that we have to dig a tunnel to escape?"

"A Ferocious Beast came," Zhang Manqian whispered bitterly. "It should be only five or six meters away from us, and it still hasn't left!"

"It's a giant bird, as big as a small Airbus when it spreads its wings. Its whole body is like steel. Our guns can't pierce it, and it's hard to hit a vital spot," Ren Anran added in a low voice.

"It's an airborne creature. No matter how we flee on land, we can't escape it. Underground is our only way out," Zuo Teng whispered as he rested between shifts. "We drove until we found a cave by the roadside, then all came in here!"

"We just didn't expect to pick a dead-end cave in our blind panic. It should be a temporary shelter someone dug out to keep the wind and rain off,"
