Chapter 166: Bait Plan Failed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After discussing with Teresa, Zhou Chen decided to accompany her to carry out the baiting plan. He wanted to see what Calamity Grade monsters were and deepen his understanding of this world.

They immediately left in a flying car to the direction of the monster.

The reason why it was so urgent was that time was very precious. If they could get close to the monster to carry out the plan earlier, they would be able to know the outcome sooner. If they failed, it would give the people behind more time to evacuate.

In response to Teresa’s request, the flying car accelerated to its maximum speed, so it only took them an hour to reach an area close to the target.

“Just park here and wait for us. You might be contaminated if you get closer.” After giving the instructions to the driver, Teresa and Zhou Chen got out of the car and rode on hovering motorcycles to finish the rest of the journey.

In front of them was an endless wasteland. There were weeds, stones, various trash, and a few dilapidated buildings from the pre-apocalyptic era, but there was no sign of any terrifying monster.

“According to the feedback from the headquarters, that monster is about 30 kilometers ahead. Let’s hurry over.” After telling Zhou Chen the approximate distance, Teresa accelerated her hovering motorcycle to the maximum and led the way.

Zhou Chen followed closely behind and quickly familiarized himself with the operation of the hovering motorcycle.

‘I’ve never seen anyone drive such a hovering motorcycle in Paradise City, it must be a rare product. The technology value of this thing should not be low. Li Guofu will definitely be interested.’

This was the first time Zhou Chen had seen and drove a hovering motorcycle. He felt that this mode of transport was quite amazing. It had a cool appearance, was fast, and could be used on any terrain. If it was sold on Planet Blue, it would definitely enjoy a lot of popularity.

After driving for about five minutes, Zhou Chen gradually felt the changes in the surrounding area. Under the illumination of the headlights, he could see the ground drying up and faint black gasses rising from the cracks. As he drove over them, he felt a clear discomfort.

“We are very close to that Calamity Grade monster. We will be able to see it soon. This place has been contaminated by that monster into a severe pollution area. We cannot stay for more than 30 minutes. We have to end this quickly,” Teresa turned to Zhou Chen and said.

Zhou Chen nodded heavily. Although he did not see any monsters, he already had a bad feeling. He had already begun to plan his escape route.

After about half a minute, Zhou Chen suddenly felt a powerful pressure. He looked up ahead and saw a huge ferocious figure slowly moving on the horizon.

It was a towering tree. Its trunk was thick and towering into the clouds, along with a large number of ferocious branches extending from it into the surroundings. The branches were bare, and they swayed like the claws of a demon. It looked rather terrifying.

‘That’s a tree monster? What the f*ck is that size…’ Zhou Chen stopped the hovering motorcycle, unwilling to approach the monster in the distance. action

“Li! Let’s go that way! Lure it in another direction!” When Zhou Chen stopped, Teresa turned her motorcycle to the side.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate to follow because he could tell that Teresa was cautious and did not approach the monster.

Moreover, since he was here, he had to help make up the numbers.

Zhou Chen came only to make up the numbers because there was a key point that Teresa did not know: he was not a mutant.

Therefore, if the terrifying tree monster really liked to hunt mutants, it should not be interested in him.

After catching up to Teresa, the two of them ran to the side of the terrifying tree monster on their motorcycles, maintaining a distance of about a thousand meters from its branches to observe its reaction.

At this distance, Zhou Chen could see most of the branches on the terrifying tree monster. They were curved and had barbs. Many of the barbs were still stained with meat and unknown pieces. From afar, it looked like a moving hanging junkyard, emitting a foul smell.

Apart from the stench, the monster also emitted a vast and suffocating pressure. Zhou Chen, who had a high perception, was very sensitive to this pressure and felt that his breathing was becoming rough.

‘This monster is not something I can deal with now.’ After observing it, Zhou Chen confirmed that this was a terrifying monster that he could not provoke. As expected of a Calamity Grade existence.

“Li, it is ignoring our presence. Let’s get a little closer.” Teresa also was clearly not feeling well. Her fair face had turned pale, and her lips had lost some of their color. She was clearly suffering from an even greater pressure than Zhou Chen.

“Teresa, don’t force yourself. It’s too dangerous,” Zhou Chen shook his head slightly. Although the huge moving monster did not show any signs of paying attention to them, no one could say what would happen if they got closer. At that distance, the pressure they felt was stronger, and it was more difficult to escape.

“I have to try.” Seeing that Zhou Chen was unwilling to go over, Teresa drove the hovering motorcycle towards the huge tree monster alone.

However, she did not keep heading straight towards it. She stopped over a hundred meters away from the monster and started moving parallel to it.

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and also drove the motorcycle to follow because he felt that there was no reason for him to be afraid if a woman dared to do this.

Zhou Chen was soon driving alongside Teresa, observing the monster’s reaction.

“There’s still no reaction…”

After dozens of seconds, they confirmed that the huge tree monster was still not interested in them, as if it had not noticed them.

“Let’s retreat. The bait plan has failed.” On the hovering motorcycle, Teresa, who was pale and had difficulty breathing, did not move closer as Zhou Chen had expected. Instead, she announced the failure of her plan.

“It seems like she is quite rational.”

‘She is still rational.’ Zhou Chen felt a little gratified because he did not want this companion to lose her life. Although they were a hundred meters away from the monster, with the monster’s body size and strength, this distance was already very dangerous.. Even if they were to get closer and incite the monster to attack, it would be difficult for them to escape and implement the bait plan.
