The western district of the city was quiet at night. Sea Shark and Chris slipped through the gaps between the houses and soon reached the edge of the cordoned-off area.
"Break through directly."

Chris stretched out one hand and made a grasping motion. The public security soldiers' faces twisted in pain as they clutched their throats with both hands and collapsed.
Chris's ability did not involve extracting the oxygen near the enemies. Instead, she instantly released an oxygen-free barrier that expelled the oxygen from inside their bodies. They would not feel suffocated; they would pass out or die suddenly from insufficient oxygen to the brain.
