Chapter 254: Rapid Fall

“Screw your sense of horror!” Chang Le’s reddish eyes opened wide, as if he was trying to spot something in the storm!
“Hehe… I wanted to blow you up with bombs, but unfortunately, the damage potential of that kind of stuff was too hard to manage. Also, it would be difficult to clean up the scene, so I deployed this ultimate weapon!” said Chen Fan calmly. Then, he clapped his hands, “Ladies and gentlemen, look over here carefully!”
Clap…
Following the rhythmic applause, the rain outside seemed to be gently sliced open by an invisible giant hand. In the next instant, the men, who were apparently taking cover behind the tractor loader, suddenly felt as if something was staring at them.
It was like having a barrel of Freon refrigerant poured right onto your skull, freezing you from top to toe in the dead of winter! Moments later, someone’s weapon slipped and slammed onto the steel plate of the tractor loader, making a crisp clacking sound, which eventually caused a chain reaction, as everyone’s weapons began slipping from their hands!
Everyone’s eyes were open wide open, their expressions filled with horror.
What they saw before them was a creature with a dark, ink-like skull. Its surface was covered with scales that glittered under the light. Its faintly white eyes were filled with nothing but an endless desire for killing.
This monster, which had a head that was moderately bigger than an African elephant’s, twitched his mouth and squirted out a strong stream of hot air, followed by a sudden roar that tore through the sky. The roar then spread quickly and loudly throughout the entire dock. The roar was so loud, even the lightning and thunder of the storm were dwarfed by it.
“Ah, a monster!” The elite fighter named Dan Dan gave out a blood-curdling scream. His fear had rendered him paralyzed on the cover of the tractor loader, as he covered his face with his hands. He trembled vigorously.
“Is… Is that a water dragon?” said Chang Le, who immediately turned into a scrawny terrified shrimp in an instant. He struggled to support himself by the bucket with a pale expression, his terror getting the better of him.
He suspected that everything that had happened up to this point was just a dream. He had been living in a scientifically structured society for decades. So, when a monster showed up out of nowhere, his mind, which was fragmented like a broken mirror, had great difficulty in distinguishing between reality and illusion.
In addition to that, the appearance of the monster was awfully similar to water dragons that existed only in myths. Everyone’s minds were crushed beyond repair. Some of them, especially those with particularly poor psychological states, even fell on the ground, lying motionless like dead pigs!
“Ah, you must be a devil!” In the face of this unknown terror, how could Chang Le, who was so scared, remember his original intentions? He jumped off the tractor loader awkwardly, trying to make his escape.
The terrified Chang Le, along with his handful of elite fighters, aimlessly searched for an exit for a long time, until one of them finally climbed into the cockpit of the tractor loader, pointing a way out for the rest, like a beacon of hope.
“F**k you, get the heck out of my way!” Chang Le punched the elite fighter, who was scuffling for the seat beside the driver’s seat, then he kicked another one away from the vehicle. He then started the engine and rushed toward the wall on the side of the dock.
The dock was constructed with steel plate, but it would still likely be torn through, like a flimsy and wet piece of paper, were it ever to be rammed by a tractor loader! It was obvious that Chen Fan wouldn’t let them escape at this point. The immensely absurd power of the electric eel told him that, in comparison, the three tractor loaders were nothing but toy cars, quite like the ones he played with when he was young, which could be wrecked with a mere kick!
The eel’s front paws stretched and grabbed the tractor loader that was the farthest away. Immediately, a dazzling dark blue arc spread from its arm all the way to the poor tractor loader.
BOOM!
A huge amount of voltage instantly tore through all of the electronic components onboard the tractor loader. The powerful electric shock even detonated the hydraulic rod and the diesel tank!
The explosion caused by the diesel was merely due to the pressure inside the fuel tank building up suddenly to unbearable levels, which caused the fuel tank to burst. Thus, the power wasn’t truly as terrifying as it first appeared to be.
The elite fighters on the two remaining tractor loaders were so terrified, they screamed and yelled until their throats almost burst!
Bang!
One of the unlucky ones, who didn’t manage to get onto the car, took out his Type 54 pistol and pointed it against the electric eel’s chin. He then pulled the trigger.
Yet, when the round closed up to the electric eel’s thick scaled armor, it lost all of its kinetic energy, completely stalling before it could even pierce through the armor! It would take an anti-tank rocket launcher to take out the electric eel!
However, as long as the electric eel was aware of the situation, an extremely high voltage would be released at full power. The voltage, which was up to 120,000 volts, would form an impenetrable barrier that covered a radius of about ten meters.
Any metallic object that dared come close would be hit by the arc at a speed that was a hundred times the speed of sound. This was true in the atmosphere, but it would be even more invincible in the water. Then, even the microbes in the two-kilometer range wouldn’t survive the shock!
Apparently, the electric eel did not power up its defensive barrier, as Chen Fan was afraid that some undiscerning strong arc might even kill him! After all, the space at the dock was tight!
While the poor elite fighter was still trying to shoot his way out, he was swept away like a broken kite by a slap from the electric eel. This occurred right at the moment when the second bullet hit the eel’s lower jaw.
It may sound complex, but in fact, it all happened within five seconds. Then, the remaining two tractor loaders did not even manage to rush to the edge of the dock.
“Hel… Monster! …”
The already terrified Chang Le was scared to the point of tears when he saw his and another tractor loader were being captured and rounded up by the electric eel, just like little chicks! He tried to open the door and jump out of the vehicle, only to find that one of the monster’s jaws had wrapped around the door.
He then tried to pull out his sidearm and shoot it through the glass, but was thwarted in that attempt, too. The two tractor loaders made a beautiful arc, as they glided through the air, then finally dropped into the sea with a splash.
Chang Le vomited, due to the immense impact. He thought he could survive, since he knew how to swim. Yet, as he wrapped his finger on the door handle, the absurd speed of the rapidly sinking tractor loader, which defied the law of buoyancy, had once again crushed his hopes mercilessly.
Bang!
The windshield of the rapidly sinking tractor loader, which could no longer withstand the huge pressure of the deep sea, had cracked!
