Even Tang Mingqi retracted his gaze in confusion and looked around, wondering if that thing came from somewhere else.
Soon, Duan Hongyu and his group drove over. They were shocked by the way the convoy stopping their cars as if they were facing a great enemy and even they quickly got out of their cars.
“What happened?”
Everyone looked at Tang Susu, who was in the middle of the crowd. At this moment, she was still looking up at the sky, her eyes slightly focused. “A T4 giant octopus that can become invisible.”
Tang Mingchu was standing beside her. When he heard her muttering that, his expression shifted. “T4? Invisibility?”
“What invisibility?” The people who were around them were thrown into confusion, especially Duan Hongyu’s men, who had all gotten out of the car.
Duan Hongyu realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly yelled, “Go back! All of you, get back in the car immediately and don’t come out!”
Then, he looked up and found nothing, just like the others. “Miss Tang…”
“Do you know what the most impressive stealth technique that living creatures in nature uses?” Tang Susu asked instead of answering.
“Mimicry!” Tang Mingqi and Duan Hongyu didn’t hesitate and seemed to understand something before turning to look at the bridge that didn’t look out of place at all. They couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spine.
Just like how the Dead Leaf Butterfly could disguise itself as a dried leaf if it remained still, there was no way to discover it without it showing itself!
“Yes, this octopus has the same ability. It has completely fused with the bridge.”
With their eyesight, they couldn’t see the existence of that thing, especially from such a distance.
However, Tang Susu could see the subtle wriggling with her eyes!
In the game, this giant octopus that could become invisible through disguise also left a deep impression on her because it was highly intelligent!
Octopuses were marine creatures with extremely high intelligence, let alone a T4 octopus that had mutated into such a terrifying size.
It almost crawled over the entire bridge and was almost right on top of them. It looked at the tiny humans below arrogantly.
Duan Hongyu gulped. The more he couldn’t see the octopus, the more he couldn’t judge the danger, and the more uneasy he became!
“Miss Tang, shouldn’t we leave quickly while we’re still safe?”
Before Tang Susu could reply, someone shouted, “It’s moving! It’s moving!”
The group of people immediately looked over in shock and saw that one of the previously still “suspension cables” had suddenly wiggled.
It was actually a long and thick tentacle!
After leaving the bridge, it instantly turned back to its original color. Then, it suddenly swung in front of it with strength!
“Aaaaaaah!” The crowd fell into chaos. A few metahumans were so scared that they quickly released their powers, but all they did was fire into the air.
Tang Susu frowned and raised her voice. “What are you panicking about? Don’t panic. The attack isn’t meant for us!”
Soon, the target of the attack quickly appeared from the opposite lane. It was actually military vehicles that were coming from the opposite direction!
One, two, three… More than 20 military vehicles and tanks appeared in front of everyone in a domineering manner.
The huge tentacle that was trying to overturn their car also shrank back in fear under the bombardment as it was hit by a fireball that was burning with light blue flames!
With a clack, one of its large tentacles actually broke off. It fell to the ground and wriggled in pain as if it had a life of its own!
This also caused the giant octopus above his head to go completely berserk!
In an instant, everyone saw the octopus that was as huge as a giant kaiju from the movies squirming.
“Good heavens, it’s so big! We’re finished!”
As he spoke, dozens of thick tentacles fell from the sky, densely packed together, and all of them slammed at the military vehicles in retaliation!
On the other hand, Tang Susu’s side was completely fine because of the sudden appearance of these people that had drawn the octopus’s full attention
Just as Duan Hongyu was about to ask Tang Susu what to do, two cars in his convoy started up in a hurry. They turned around and drove away without caring about anything else!
“Hey, where are you going?! Come back, it’s dangerous!” Duan Hongyu hurriedly chased after them.
“If we don’t run now, we won’t be able to leave!” The driver said in horror and sped away.
This behavior immediately caused the others to become restless. Even Tang Susu’s convoy urged her to leave quickly.
Tang Susu remained unmoved and shouted, “Stay calm and wait for orders!”
They were about to object out of panic.
Suddenly, a tentacle that was dozens of meters long quickly caught up to the two escaping cars. It used a suction cup to stick to them at the same time and easily dragged them up into the sky as if they were playing with toys. Then, it started to flail them!
“Ahhh, help! Help!” The people in the car screamed helplessly.
However, they were simply too far. Everyone hurriedly ran over, wanting to save them. However, before they could do anything, they saw the drivers’ desperate faces flash past their eyes, and the vehicles and their passengers were thrown into the sea by the giant octopus.
The entire convoy was silent for two seconds..
