Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257 – XM109
Chapter 1257 XM109
“Songjia’walked out of the kitchen with a meat cleaver in one hand and her second spine in the other. However, the next moment, she stopped in her tracks.
She realized that in less than ten seconds after she left, the living room had changed again. Alan and the others were still lying on the floor, unable to move a single finger, the speakers continued to play music, but Zhang Heng was nowhere to be seen.
“Song Jia’could not help but swear. “F* ck, how can you run away like that? !”Just as she finished her sentence, the sound of a broken window came from the second floor.
“Song Jia’immediately rushed out of the door and into the front yard. Just as she stepped out of the door, a bullet flew toward her face. Song Jia had no time to dodge, she could only brace herself to take the bullet.
However, she didn’t expect it to be a 25mm high explosive bullet. This bullet could penetrate 50mm steel plates, and after hitting the target, the explosives inside were detonated. The high temperature and sharp shrapnel scattered in all directions.
“Song Jia’was hit by the bullet, and the area above her neck completely exploded. Fresh blood and minced meat were practically stuck on the wall behind her. Many parts of her body were scratched by shrapnel, and some were directly inserted into her muscles, she looked rather disheveled.
Zhang Heng, who had fired the shot, was also slightly taken aback. He hadn’t opened his eyes in the living room to avoid suspicion. It was only after “Songjia’had entered the kitchen that he slipped out, therefore, he hadn’t been able to see “Songjia”after she had transformed.
In order to prevent the target from having more time to open fire, he hadn’t looked carefully when he pulled the trigger. He had only managed to make out that the target was probably the person’s head, however, he did not expect the so-called head to be a huge tentacle. The thing that had rushed out of the house was clearly no longer related to humans.

However, his reaction was quick. He immediately turned the gun around and aimed at the monster’s chest.
However, the monster was not slow either. After taking the shot, it took the opportunity to fall to the ground and roll back into the house. Therefore, Zhang Heng’s second bullet only managed to hit one of its legs, in the end, it went from three legs to two legs again.
However, after being hit by such a terrifying attack, even though the thing looked miserable, it was not dead. It only let out a scream and then disappeared from Zhang Heng’s sight with its broken body.
At the same time, a black mist quickly enveloped the villa it was in.
Zhang Heng frowned. He had just taken out his ( filter lens ) , but he realized that it was useless against the Black Mist. This was not the first time that the [ filter lens ] had failed, after all, it was only a D-grade item. It would have no problem dealing with normal natural environments, but against supernatural creatures, it might not be enough.
With the black fog shrouding it, Zhang Heng didn’t rush in recklessly. Instead, he changed his sniper position and continued to aim at the doors and windows with the large-caliber sniper rifle in his hand.
The Man and the monster fell into a stalemate.
The XM109 in Zhang Heng’s hand was made out of Lego bricks. He didn’t bring his [ hidden sheath ) and ( plague bone bow ] because he needed to pass security during his trip to Greenland, – LSB-infinite bricks ] naturally became his main weapon.
The time limit for using the pistol that he had assembled earlier had already expired. This time, because he didn’t know who his opponent was, Zhang Heng chose a weapon that was even more lethal — the XM109 made by Bartley Company, rather than calling it a large-caliber sniper rifle, it was actually more appropriate to call it a shoulder-fired gun.

The caliber of this sniper rifle reached an astonishing 25mm. The high explosive rounds it was equipped with were modified directly from the Apache helicopter’s M789 high explosive dual-purpose ammunition. On the battlefield, it could even penetrate armored vehicles and tanks, it was a true killing machine,
of course, in contrast to its 15kg weight, it could basically only fight on the battlefield. There was no need to think about moving.
This was also the reason why Zhang Heng used the sound from the second floor to lure “Songjia”out. However, he did not expect the opponent’s health bar to be so thick that it survived two rounds of high explosive bullets.
Just as Zhang Heng was guessing how serious the monster’s injuries were, he did not expect the opponent to speak first. It was still using Songjia’s voice, but now the voice sounded a little angry and sharp, “Why didn’t you fall asleep? !”
“Of course, it’s because I didn’t inhale the thing you released, “Zhang Heng said.
“How is that possible?”
“I have to admit that your disguise is really good. I didn’t sense anything strange during the day I spent with you, and I didn’t suspect you.”
“Humph, that’s because the person you were with before was indeed Songjia herself.”Since it had already been exposed, the voice in the room was no longer hidden. “I only switched identities with her when we were at the bar.”
“No wonder, was it… when she went to the toilet?”Zhang Heng thought about it, “It was also at that time that she left my sight. You wanted to get close to me when I was drunk. That way, my thinking, observation, and judgment would be weakened to a certain extent compared to usual.”
“It’s a pity that you drank three bottles of strong alcohol, but it doesn’t seem like you were drunk to the point of losing your vigilance.”
“It’s not your fault. Very few people know that I can hold my liquor well.”Zhang Heng rarely drank, and even the people around him thought that he couldn’t drink. However, in the blacksail dungeon.., because he had been wandering at sea all year round, he couldn’t drink clean water, so he could only drink rum to quench his thirst. Zhang Heng’s alcohol tolerance had also been trained to be very good.
The monster in the black fog seemed to have thought of something, and its voice suddenly raised a few notches. “You Fellow, could it be that you purposely put on that awkward expression and ordered hard liquor to bait me?”
Zhang Heng didn’t deny it.
“You knew that I was coming for You?”
“I had no idea who you were. I just wanted to see if anyone was targeting me,”Zhang Heng said, “Since you know about Kronos, you should also know that he is good at targeting people. Also, we just heard a strange story and saw an earthquake and Red Aurora. I have to be on guard against anything that might be targeting me.”
“Have you always been so cautious?”
“I’m the same. Your disguise is very good, but you chose to approach me when I was drunk. You used Songjia to lower my guard first and then brought me here to participate in this weird psychological massage. This way, I will focus my attention on Alan and the incense and music, but they are actually fine. They are just to cover up your little tricks.”

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.
