The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 48: Strange Humanoid Creature

The moment that they came closer to the area that the congregation of dots was in, Henry decided to stop the car there. He didn’t want to approach without knowing what the real situation was.

Even though it was true that the car’s advanced detection system could already tell him if there was someone that was approaching the area that he was in, he could not see the actual situation there. He only saw dots.

As he stared at the holographic screen in front of him, Henry frowned when he noticed that there was a dot that was approaching him at a fast speed. This was a speed that exceeded the normal human speed.

The moment that he realized that there was something approaching towards them, he could already relate that this might be the one that was involved in the massacre of the group that they had left behind.

He was not the only one, as everyone present in the car could see the holographic screen.

When Olivia saw the approaching dot, she wanted to get out of the car when suddenly, Henry stopped her.

"Don’t get out of the car without knowing what you are going to face." Henry stated seriously.

Olivia frowned when she heard him. And although it was true that she didn’t like Henry, she knew that what he had said was sensible. They had come back only to find out that the group that they had left behind had been killed off or some of them had been taken away.

And, the group that they had left behind was by no means weak. That implied that, for them to be easily massacred, the enemy that they were facing had to be far stronger than them, or have a numerical or equipment advantage.

"But what is the difference between staying inside the car and going out? They can still destroy the car to get us out of it." Olivia stated. Adam and Sarah all looked at Henry, wanting to know the reason as to why he believed that staying in the car was better and safe.

After all, they could have gotten out of the car, and decided on a place that they would be able to take shelter, while trying to observe the situation.

"This car has way better defenses. It can be used to test their attacks." Henry replied. Since he was the only person who knew about the functions of the car, then he was bound to explain to them.

The group of three looked at him, as if they didn’t believe it. But, they had no choice but to believe that Henry was saying the truth, because they didn’t think that he was going to lie to them in such a situation.

Additionally, considering the fact that the car was so overpowered, then, perhaps it might be true that it contained the defensive function.

It wasn’t long before the red dot that was approaching arrived. And what appeared in front of them was a humanoid figure. This figure had a face, but had no facial features other than the eyes.

The nose, the mouth, and even the ears were not present. In fact, even eyebrows were not there.

This humanoid figure was currently wearing a black body tight suit. From the way that it was approaching them, it was obvious that it was approaching with an intent of attacking.

The group present in the car was flabbergasted. They had never expected to see a creature like this. Additionally, it had human features, but it didn’t look like a human at all.

"Could this be one of the experiments that was being carried out by the facility?" At this moment, Sarah made a guess, and this creature should be a specimen.

Henry didn’t respond to that. Instead, he immediately activated the attacking function of the system. He wanted to test the opponent in front of him. With the current Jeep’s capabilities, it was able to deal with level 9 Rank O creatures.

Even though he did not know what Rank came after Rank O, he currently hoped that the creature that they were facing this time was not past Rank O. Otherwise, the situation was going to be tricky.

The moment that he activated the offensive activation button. The next moment, changes began appearing.

At the same time, a sleek control panel appeared in front of Henry, casting an ethereal glow throughout the car, revealing an array of buttons and switches.

On the holographic screen, it began showing the image of the creature that was charging towards them. All of this happened within a few seconds.

With precision and purpose, Henry’s hand hovered over the meticulously designed console, fingers finding their place on the strategic controls. Each button carried the weight of potential power, ready to unleash a carefully calibrated arsenal of offensive measures.

With a touch, almost imperceptible, he activated the attack protocol. Instantly, the vehicle’s exterior components sprung to life, panels seamlessly shifting and reconfiguring to reveal hidden compartments containing a formidable cannon shaped weapons.

Overhead, glowing targeting systems came alive, projecting a holographic heads-up display visible only to Henry – a seamless integration of man and machine. Layers of data flooded Henry’s peripheral vision, granting a tactical advantage previously reserved for the realm of science fiction.

Silently, deadly precision took over. Henry calmly gazed upon the holographic display, identifying the target with uncanny accuracy. With each press of a finger against the touch-sensitive panels, the vehicle unleashed its fury – projectiles hurtling through the air, heading towards the creature at an incredible speed.

But all the same, Henry was surprised that the projectiles that had been Launched by the cannons of the car were very small. He couldn’t help but doubt about the amount of power that was present within those small projectiles.

The creature completely ignored the small things that were heading towards it, as it had already set its target as the people present inside the car.

And as for how it had come to know that there were people present in the car, that remained a mystery.

The projectiles that had been launched by the car landed on the creatures body. And in the next moment, the creature definitely regretted its decision to ignore the small things.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after the other, the projectiles that had been launched by the Jeep immediately exploded. The size of the explosion wasn’t little, as it was akin to the size of a small nuclear bomb.

The creature that was in direct contact with the attacks was immediately blasted into pieces. The next moment, the small pieces of the creature were burnt and completely turned into ashes.

The surrounding areas were immediately devastated. A large crater was formed on the ground, as the building that was just adjacent to the area where the explosion had gone off crumbled.

A huge shockwave was immediately created, as it headed towards all directions.

When he saw all of this, Henry was completely stunned. He had never expected that the power that was contained within those small projectiles was of that level. No wonder they were called coiled energy cannons.

It was a good thing that he was not the one who came into direct contact with the coiled energy cannons. Otherwise, he would have definitely suffered from the high voltage.

At this moment, Olivia said in a hurried manner, "What is that? And how can you use bombs at such a time, when we are closer to it? Don’t you know that when they explode, there’s going to be a huge shockwave?"

As Olivia continued to say these words, her voice lowered as she continued. Her eyes had already widened in surprise.

Before the shockwave could reach the car, a force field was created, and it was able to completely prevent the shockwave from being able to reach the car.

It was also at this moment that Henry suddenly realized how overpowered the Jeep that he was in was. Although he knew that the Jeep had the capabilities of blocking an attack of level 9 creatures, it was only after he had seen it that he understood better.

After all, the attacks that have been launched by the Jeep were able to deal with level 9 creatures. And, Henry had launched several of them. For that reason, even the shockwave was enough to deal a lot of damage to them, had they come into contact with it.

It was only after about 15 minutes that the cloud of dust finally settled. And, all this while, Henry had been staring at the holographic screen in front of him.

He came to a realization that, due to the commotion that had been created by the explosion of the projectiles, those red dots that have been congregated in a certain area had suddenly began moving towards them.

And when the dust cleared, Henry and the group saw that in the other side of the explosion, there was a group of richly dressed people. All of them had excited expressions on their faces, as they looked at the damage that had been caused during the explosion.

The moment that he saw them, Henry’s eyes flashed with killing intent. He wasn’t the only person, as Olivia had already prepared herself to get out of the car. And had it not been for the fact that Henry was the one who was in control of the all the doors, she would have already gotten out of it.

"Let me out of here, now!" When she suddenly realized that she could not open the door, Olivia looked at Henry and said.

Henry didn’t say any word and immediately opened all the doors. Even the compartment was opened as the wolf was released. At this moment, Henry had already determined who the target was.
