Rescue

What should I do!?

When Lu Yuanming saw the two adults and four children rush into the building, two thoughts immediately came to his mind.

The first thought was to quickly run up the building, but this instinctive idea was dismissed as soon as it appeared.

He still had over thirty hours before his return, and he couldn't rely on crawling through dog holes to survive. These monsters were far faster than him, and their vision and sense of smell were extremely keen. He couldn't escape!

The second thought was to directly pull the trigger on the monsters, to test if the bullets made from colorless light particles could be fired from a distance. But Lu Yuanming also rejected this idea. Firstly, he had only made one bullet, and apart from firing a shot during university military training, he had never handled any firearms. He didn't trust his shooting accuracy.

At that moment, Lu Yuanming immediately held two colorless light particles in each hand, condensing four semi-transparent bullets at once. Only four colorless light particles remained around him, which made Lu Yuanming's heart ache. However, he couldn't afford to care about that now. He ran towards the first floor, took out his pistol, and loaded the semi-transparent bullets. By the time the magazine was reloaded, he had reached the first floor and saw that the two adults and four children were frantically running into the rooms on the first floor.

At this moment, the two man-faced dogs that had rushed in had each pinned down a child. Children couldn't outrun adults after all. With a single tear from the monsters' ferocious mouths, these two children died amidst screams. One had its neck broken, and the other's stomach was torn open, with a large portion of its liver, kidneys, and intestines ripped out.

Lu Yuanming's pupils twitched. He mustered his courage and shouted, "Run towards the stairwell, quickly, run to the stairwell!!"

The two adults were white men, both wearing light blue clothing, likely work uniforms. They both had a logo on their chests, seemingly belonging to some school janitors. The remaining two children were wearing school uniforms, one older and one younger. The older one was a girl, about ten years old, and the younger one was a little boy, only about six or seven years old.

As Lu Yuanming stood at the stairwell entrance shouting, the two white men immediately turned and ran towards Lu Yuanming's position. The one in front was a tall, thin man, charging forward without regard for anything. The one behind was a slightly stout man. He hesitated for a moment, then turned and tucked the little boy and girl under his arms.

The two monsters behind them had found food and no longer pursued, allowing the leading man to reach the stairwell. When the tall, thin man saw the pistol in Lu Yuanming's hand, he immediately shouted, "Buddy, run! All firearms are useless!!"

As he spoke, the tall, thin man directly passed Lu Yuanming and ran upstairs.

The slightly stout man, still holding the two children, ran towards the stairwell, panting. At this moment, one of the two monsters that had chased into the building abandoned the torn flesh and blood and turned to run towards the slightly stout man. The slightly stout man also heard the monster chasing behind him. He shouted loudly, tears and snot streaming down his face, but he still didn't let go of the two children.

Lu Yuanming was also extremely tense. He held his pistol and aimed it at the man-faced dog lunging towards him. Seeing that the man-faced dog was less than ten meters away, and the stout man was about seven or eight meters away, and the monster could pounce on the stout man at any moment, Lu Yuanming pulled the trigger.

He had actually prepared for the bullet to be useless, but the moment he pulled the trigger, he saw that what emerged from the pistol's muzzle was not sparks or embers, but a ball of white light. It wasn't like a laser, nor was it that fast. It was like a light orb, and although its speed was extremely fast, a blurry trajectory could be seen with the naked eye.

This light orb shot straight out of the pistol's barrel and, with lightning speed, hit the man-faced dog's chest. With a crackling explosion, like a thunderclap, the man-faced dog's chest was blown open with a basketball-sized hole, so large that one could see through to its back.

The stout man was stunned. He stared blankly at Lu Yuanming, then looked back at the man-faced dog monster.

Not only the stout man, but even the tall, thin man running upstairs was stunned. Even Lu Yuanming himself was stunned. The power of this pistol was as exaggerated as a handheld cannon. This was no longer a bullet; some would even believe it was spherical lightning.

However, Lu Yuanming immediately suppressed his surprise and shouted to the stout man, "Aren't you coming over?!"

The stout man then came to his senses and stumbled to Lu Yuanming's back, then put down the two children and gasped for breath. At this moment, the tall, thin man actually stopped running upwards, but he didn't come down either. He shouted from the middle of the stairwell, "Is this a pistol!? Is this a pistol? Are there any more bullets? Buddy, are there any more bullets?"

Lu Yuanming didn't answer. He stared intently at the other monster in the distance, and he saw that the monster that had been killed indeed began to emit colorless light particles. Most of them, at least nine-tenths, dissipated in the air. About one-tenth of the light particles drifted towards Lu Yuanming, then landed on his skin, seemingly merging into his body.

This time, Lu Yuanming clearly saw the process of these colorless light particles merging into his body. He became even more certain that his soul body's growth and strengthening were due to these colorless light particles.

He just didn't know why only one-tenth was absorbed. Was it because of the distance, or because he didn't try to capture them, or was it some peculiar rule that only allowed him to absorb one-tenth?

And...

Lu Yuanming looked at the stout man behind him, the two terrified children, and the tall, thin man peering down the stairwell. They seemed to be oblivious to these colorless light particles. Could it be that only he could see and absorb these things?

Lu Yuanming had too many questions, but now was clearly not the time to dwell on them. He shot and killed a monster, which immediately enraged another. The monster abandoned the flesh it was gnawing on and began to charge frantically at Lu Yuanming.

Lu Yuanming aimed his pistol's sights. After all, he was from a peaceful world. When the monster was at least twenty meters away, he pulled the trigger. A white light orb shot out, but it hit the wall beside the monster, immediately blasting a large hole in it. Dust and smoke billowed, and the monster charged out of the smoke. Its speed was fast, its strength immense. Amidst flying sand and stones, the monster was only about ten meters away from Lu Yuanming.

"Hit!"

Lu Yuanming grew more anxious. In his panic, he pulled the trigger twice more. Two white light orbs shot out successively. One hit the monster's left arm, and the other struck near the monster's head. This time, the monster was finally hit. Its shoulder was directly shattered, and its head was more than half severed. Finally, the monster lunged forward, sliding several meters on the ground, almost sliding to a halt at Lu Yuanming's feet.

Only then did Lu Yuanming feel his heart pounding violently. In his vision, large amounts of colorless light particles were still rising from the monster's corpse. Only a tenth of them floated towards him and merged into his body; the rest of the colorless light particles dissipated.

It seems it has nothing to do with distance. If possible in the future, I should try to catch these white light particles with my hands... But I need to train my courage. If possible, I should also train with firearms. I could have killed the monster with one bullet just now, but I ended up using three...

Lu Yuanming had one last bullet made from colorless light particles left in his pistol. There was still one monster outside the building. He had to kill it with this last bullet, or he would be the one to die.

During this time, the tall thin man had already run down the stairs. He exclaimed loudly, "My god, my god, buddy, are you a government secret agent? Or from Area 51? Or the Freemasons? Is that an energy weapon?"

Lu Yuanming didn't speak. The tall thin man continued to chatter, while the fat man comforted the two crying children. Just then, everyone suddenly heard a shrill roar from the monster outside the building. The sound was not the hunting sound of the previous monster. A bad premonition flashed through Lu Yuanming's mind. He immediately ran towards the main door on the first floor. At the door, he didn't see the monster, only a pool of unrecognizable bloody flesh.

The tall thin man also followed behind Lu Yuanming. He looked outside the main door and then said with surprise, "That monster was scared away, great! That monster was scared away!"

"No..."

Lu Yuanming's face turned grim. He thought of a possibility. At this moment, the fat man also jogged over and said, "It's not like that. That monster went to call its companions. My father and I used to hunt. Wolves behave like this too. If there's a wolf pack, the scouting wolves will go call the pack!!"

Lu Yuanming had the same thought. He remembered when he encountered these man-faced dogs last time, more than ten man-faced dogs had appeared, but only three had appeared here. The roar and escape of that man-faced dog monster just now was very likely to call the main force!!

"Let's go, leave immediately! Do you have any place to recommend? Easy to defend and difficult to attack, or somewhere hidden, or a place with an iron door or sturdy facility!!" Lu Yuanming urgently shouted to the tall thin man and the fat man.

The two looked at each other. The tall thin man immediately said, "Subway station!"

The fat man said, "Bank!"

They looked at each other and fell silent. Lu Yuanming picked up the little boy and said to the fat man, "You carry one. Hey, skinny guy, lead the way. Whether it's the subway station or the bank, run to the closest location. Hurry, hurry!!"

The two dared not hesitate. Although Lu Yuanming was giving orders, he had just killed two monsters and possessed unimaginable high-tech weapons. They subconsciously obeyed Lu Yuanming's words. The fat man picked up the little girl, and the tall thin man led the way, running ahead.

Lu Yuanming followed the two and rushed out of the building.

As the three adults and two children rushed out of the building, they heard more than ten roars echoing in the distance, all the calls of those man-faced dog monsters. The faces of the three adults turned pale, and the two children started crying simultaneously.

Monster horde...

Was closing in!
