As the drone's camera moved, in the blink of an eye, the entire body of the yellow insect emerged from the shadows.
From the footage on the drone's control panel, Lucas could confirm that it was indeed a yellow insect.
The yellow insect was twice the size of a red insect, resembling the size of a villa.
Lucas swallowed nervously and glanced at the heavy blade beside him, unsure of what to do.
The yellow insect was too large, even bigger than the bus.
Using a heavy blade made from the front end of a red insect's leg as the base material would probably just tickle the yellow insect.
Lucas knew very well that neither the heavy blade nor the sniper rifle would be able to harm the yellow insect.
In fact, none of the weapons he had could harm the yellow insect, not even the suicide drone.
Lucas was conflicted at this moment.
The yellow insect represented a yellow capsule and a new heavy blade or sniper rifle.
The only thing that matched the level of the yellow insect was the bus.
A second-level bus referred to a bus whose functions met second-level standards, but the bus's exterior was still made from the red insect's exoskeleton.
It felt like another gamble.
Lucas thought that if he were to fight the yellow insect, he would have to use the bus to ram into it.
The question was whether the bus's exterior was hard enough, and that was the key point Lucas was gambling on.
At this moment, Lucas was also a bit puzzled why the system hadn't given him a ranking.
Now Lucas had three non-human attributes, but he didn't know what level they belonged to compared to evolved humans.
Which was harder, the non-human skin or the yellow insect's exoskeleton?
In the end, Lucas still wanted to try if he could kill the insect.
In this post-apocalyptic world, strength was gained through risks.
The bus silently moved in the darkness. Every ten meters or so, the doors would open, and Lucas would quickly pour a small bucket of gasoline on the roadside.
The bus circled around the yellow insect, gradually creating a circle of gasoline.
Lucas emptied all the gasoline from the bus except for the infirmary, not because he wanted to burn the yellow insect to death.
He was preparing for his escape.
If the bus failed to kill the yellow insect, igniting the gasoline would create an opportunity for escape by isolating the insect.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
After pouring the gasoline, Lucas parked the bus about a kilometer away from the yellow insect, separated by three streets.
Lucas got off the bus, used the drone to observe, and then raised the sniper rifle at a spot where he could see the yellow insect.
Before engaging head-on, Lucas wanted to see how tough the yellow insect's exoskeleton really was.
Snap!
The sniper rifle, equipped with a silencer, made a quiet sound, disappearing in an instant.
Lucas aimed for the yellow insect's eyes.
The yellow insect's eyes were naturally twice the size of a red insect's eyes, making them more prominent and easier to hit.
The purpose of Lucas's shot was to lower the difficulty for himself.
The insect had six eyes, and if he could disable them first, the chances of killing it would greatly increase.
The weakest part of the insect, apart from its thinner exoskeleton on the abdomen, was its eyes.
After the gunshot, the insect's scream echoed in the darkness.
Lucas hit the mark with his shot, shattering one of the insect's eyes.
Unfortunately, the situation Lucas had imagined did not occur.
The bullet entered through the insect's eye but didn't penetrate its head.
Upon shooting the insect's eye, Lucas attempted another shot to take out another eye.
Snap!
However, this shot hit the insect's head.
Indeed, this level of sniper rifle couldn't penetrate the yellow insect's exoskeleton.
Looking through the scope of the sniper rifle, Lucas could only see a small white dot on the insect's head.
The once slow-crawling insect became enraged!
Its six insect legs thrashed about wildly, destroying several shops on the street, causing a collapse.
The remaining five insect eyes all turned in one direction, filled with hatred.
The yellow insect had keen hearing.
After Lucas fired the gun, the yellow insect already knew his location.
At this moment, Lucas didn't hesitate and quickly made adjustments on his wristwatch.
Bus versus yellow insect.
The moment of a head-on collision had arrived!
Lucas parked the bus with the sole purpose of gaining distance for acceleration.
At this point, both sides were accelerating.
When two tremendous forces collide, the outcome is uncertain.
The motorcycle had already been released, and the mute woman was riding it, stopping beside Lucas.
Lucas shouted as he watched the bus speed towards the yellow insect.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Both the bus and the insect reached their maximum speed!
The bus had no function for retreat, and the insect showed no fear towards the bus.
When two forces meet on a narrow path, it's a battle of strength!
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters...
Bang!
The bus collided with the insect.
In the footage on the drone's control panel, Lucas could see the front of the bus denting in an instant...
The collision occurred on a piece of exoskeleton on the insect's head.
The footage on the drone suddenly appeared eerie.
If we considered the height of the yellow insect based on its legs, it was much taller than the bus.
Yet, its head was at the same height as the bus.
The footage froze for a moment...
Let's set aside who was tougher between the bus and the yellow insect.
It turns out both sides were evenly matched in strength.
A true clash of titans!
Neither side budged an inch.
The front of the bus was flattened.
The yellow insect didn't even scream.
Just as Lucas was puzzled, the yellow insect moved.
Its front two insect legs suddenly flailed about like mad.
Witnessing this, Lucas was shocked.
"Is it unharmed!?"
At that moment, the yellow insect's head also moved and recoiled backward.
Lucas couldn't believe it. Even if the bus's exterior was not as strong as the yellow insect's exoskeleton, the impact was so powerful that it should have caused severe injuries, if not killed it!
Lucas felt it was time to run.
With the yellow insect's speed, it could likely reach him in the blink of an eye.
Although the bus had attracted the yellow insect's attention, Lucas didn't dare to bet on whether the insect knew he was there.
He took a step onto the motorcycle and held onto the mute woman tightly.
At this moment, the yellow insect suddenly screamed again.
The sound was continuous and much sharper than before.
The sound was piercing to the ears.
Just as Lucas was about to cover his ears with his hands.
Suddenly, the insect's sound stopped abruptly.
Lucas instantly felt something was wrong. The sudden cessation of the insect's sound felt as if someone had choked its throat.
When the sound of the yellow insect ceased, Lucas realized it was his moment of opportunity. He quickly seized the chance, leaping off the motorcycle and tightly gripping the assault rifle in his hands.
After a brief pause, the yellow insect started shaking its head, appearing confused and in pain. This was a momentary weakness, and Lucas decided to seize the opportunity.
He swiftly analyzed the behavioral patterns of the yellow insect.
"It must be dazed, right? Fortune favors the bold, let's go for it!"
Lucas cautiously maneuvered around the side of the yellow insect, minimizing his exposure as much as possible. He stealthily approached, utilizing the cover provided by debris and ruins.
As the yellow insect ceased shaking its head and began refocusing its attention, Lucas had already closed in on its flank. He saw the creature's massive mouth open, revealing its sharp teeth.
Without hesitation, Lucas charged towards the yellow insect, aiming the barrel of his rifle directly at its mouth. He precisely inserted the barrel, ensuring the creature couldn't bite his arm.
With the barrel making contact, Lucas forcefully pulled the trigger, firing several shots in succession. The deafening sound of gunfire echoed as the bullets penetrated the insect's throat and head.
The yellow insect emitted a series of piercing screams, violently thrashing its body in an attempt to break free from Lucas' grasp. However, Lucas firmly held onto the barrel, steadily maintaining his fire, ensuring each bullet hit the vital parts of the creature.
Eventually, the screams of the yellow insect abruptly ceased, and its body began to sway unsteadily before collapsing to the ground.
