Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday

Chapter 292 292: The Second Hunt

The headquarters of Starship Country's Safe Zone was buzzing with activity when Grace and her team arrived.

Unlike Starfall Isle, which had a more structured military presence, Sunspire City was a mix of re

She took a look at the digital map of the area with the hidden spots of the beasts and Infected highlighted on it. She took note of them, but made no move.

But just when they started to gain the upper hand, the real challenge appeared.

A deafening roar shook the district, sending a pulse of energy through the streets. The Monster Beasts froze immediately, their bodies tensing.
