Looking at the police officer's expression, Chu Yunyi was somewhat surprised and thought:

There's more than one Gluttony Virus?

Sloth, Wrath, Envy... are they trying to create all Seven Deadly Sins?

If so, there might even be Lust, Greed, and Pride?

Seeming to think of something, Chu Yunyi pondered deeply:

Lust? Hmm...

Chu Yunyi immediately thought of the Succubus.

But then he reconsidered.

He glanced at the building parasitized by the Sloth patient. The entire building was covered in green, thorny plants.

It looked extremely terrifying.

Lust is probably twisted too... Chu Yunyi shook his head and stopped thinking about such nonsense.

Coming back to his senses.

Chu Yunyi asked the police officer named Zhou Ping'an:

"Which one is the most dangerous?"

Upon hearing the question, Zhou Ping'an answered without hesitation. "Wrath. There's only one of it, but it's extremely dangerous."

"It's like the Hulk. It's practically impervious to blades and bullets..."

"Ahem." Chu Yunyi deliberately coughed twice before asking, "What else?"

Impervious to blades and bullets?

Who was he kidding? The gun he meant was the one with the red tassel, right?

If it could withstand firearms, then it should be left to the Special Police...

A barrage of grenades and missiles would surely blow through it.

When asked about the second strongest, the officer likewise answered without thinking. "The Envy patients in the north of the city. They move in groups. It seems the more there are, the stranger they become."

Hearing that, Chu Yunyi did not even ask what special abilities they had.

He immediately took action.

Then—

Chu Yunyi pushed off with both legs and jumped straight down from the car, landing beside it.

"A car door is still a door."

"Open!"

As soon as Chu Yunyi spoke, he twisted the handle and instantly opened a doorway to the Void Gate.

When the car door opened, the scene beyond it was not the back seat, but the bizarre scenery of the Void Gate.

Chu Yunyi slipped inside, and his shadow immediately followed.

Bang. The car door shut, and both vanished.

"Is he really... an ability user?" Zhou Ping'an's mouth twitched.

But on second thought—

The apocalypse caused by the Seven Deadly Sins Virus had already arrived, so ability users were not that hard to accept.

Still, seeing one for the first time was quite shocking.

"I wonder how abilities awaken."

"An epiphany between life and death? Or some kind of bloodline awakening?"

"If I were an ability user too, what would my stage name be? Super Inspector? No, Super Cop. Simple and grand."

Zhou Ping'an stood there, already lost in fantasy.

Suddenly.

A companion behind him called out, pulling him back to reality. Their current mission was to escort the ordinary citizens in the south of the city to nearby shelters.

Yunzhou City, northern district.

A group of Special Police waited behind a temporary barricade for the right moment to attack.

The leading Special Police officer wore goggles and a black helmet.

A fitted black combat uniform covered their entire body.

Judging by appearance, this person was the captain of the Special Police unit.

A stab-proof vest was tightly wrapped around their body, concealing any figure and making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

The captain stretched an arm down, clenched a fist, then swung it backward.

After receiving the signal.

The 150 Special Police officers behind her instantly spread out, eventually forming a V-shaped formation that completely surrounded the entire building.

Then the captain cupped a hand over her mouth.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Several canisters of tear gas were thrown out, smashing directly into the surrounded building.

Not long after.

One shrill scream after another rang out, harsh enough to sound like knives scraping against glass:

"Cough, cough, cough! Why are you people fine?!"

"I'm so—cough... cough, blegh! En... vious! We're so envious!!"

What was surprising was—

Only a few cries of agony came from inside before the building immediately fell silent.

It was hard to imagine.

What kind of creatures could remain inside while the entire building was filled with tear gas.

One had to know.

Though it was called tear gas, its effects went far beyond simply making people cry.

It could cause burning irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, and could even directly cause suffocation.

Yet the monsters inside only cried out a few times before falling silent.

Though it was possible that they had all suffocated, they still needed to investigate carefully.

The captain continued giving orders.

But this time, she could not even be bothered to use hand signals. She simply said into the radio, "Three-Three Formation Tactic. Enter in succession. Free fire. Over!"

Only upon hearing her voice did they realize it was a clear, pleasant female voice.

After all.

Setting fantasies aside, when body type and training were roughly equal.

Women were far weaker than men in terms of strength, since male hormones and genetics played no small role.

For her to become the captain of a Special Police unit made up of 150 people.

It proved that she was definitely exceptional in some respects.

After five groups entered one after another, the Female Captain continued asking:

"Report."

But the situation was far from optimistic. Very little information came back; they could only vaguely hear a few gunshots and chaotic screams.

The Female Captain frowned and continued making hand signals.

She also wanted to simply blow up the building, but the consequences could be severe. Even a certain area around it might be affected.

Yunzhou City had fallen far too quickly.

There had been practically no preparation. They had not even finished gathering information, and they did not know how many people nearby had yet to evacuate.

If this caused further collateral damage and more casualties, that was something she absolutely did not want to see.

The Female Captain led eleven people into the building in a trapezoidal formation.

By then, the tear gas had just dispersed, though a foul smell still lingered in the air.

Not long after they entered.

The Female Captain saw the bodies of the earlier team members, the bullet holes especially conspicuous.

"How is this possible?" The Female Captain frowned.

They were all wearing stab-proof clothing. Since their targets in this operation had no firearms, they had chosen stab-proof clothing with similar protective effects but greater mobility.

But the different bullet holes left behind were truly bizarre.

Their standard rifles... could not produce such irregular bullet holes.

The more she looked.

The stranger it seemed.

Suddenly!

A dwarf rushed down from the stairs. He was about 1.2 meters tall and looked much like an ordinary person.

But the only difference was the eerie green light flickering in his eyes.

"Why do you have guns while I don't? Why?!" the Green-eyed Dwarf shouted.

One Special Police officer looked at him and found the sight ridiculous.

They had received professional training. No matter how funny something was, they would not laugh.

Unless they could not hold it in...

"Pfft!" The Special Police officer accidentally laughed.

Hearing the laughter, the Green-eyed dwarf's expression instantly turned hostile. He held his hands out as if gripping a gun.

The next moment.

The nonexistent firearm aimed at the laughing Special Police officer.

"Why are you laughing? Why?!"
