Chu Yang led Yang Yan and the others down from the huge pit, fleeing all the way downstairs. The fishmen followed close behind and surrounded them once again!
As Chu Yang and the others slowed, a figure instantly blocked their path.
The man wore a black raincoat. His build felt extremely familiar to Chu Yang. Was this the fishman that had chased him through the school?
Chu Yang recognized him at a glance. "It's you!"
Rain poured outside. Li Yuan stood before the main entrance, and Raven flew over at that moment.
"Friendly reminder, hurry up. They can't hold on much longer over there."
"Got it."
Hearing Raven's words, Li Yuan threw back the hood of his raincoat and charged out. At the same time, the fishmen launched their attack on Chu Yang!
Chu Yang took a deep breath, but Yang Yan suddenly grabbed him.
"Chu Yang, can you still do this?"
Chu Yang's body was already covered in wounds. Against the siege of a fishman horde, lasting this long was already a miracle.
"Probably... no problem!"
If things truly went south, he still had two Deep Sea Breaths he had obtained in the game. At the very least, he could heal himself twice more!
With that, Chu Yang stomped the ground and shot forward!
In a flash, he appeared before Li Yuan. Just as he was about to throw a punch, Li Yuan drove a knee into his chest!
At the same time, two fishmen rushed in from either side and sliced open his abdomen with their claws!
Bang!
Chu Yang's eyes widened. Li Yuan struck again, grabbing Chu Yang by the head and smashing it into the ground!
Boom!
Once!
Again!
Boom!
Twice!
Boom!
Three times!
As Li Yuan repeatedly smashed Chu Yang's head into the ground, the floor cracked and blood sprayed everywhere. Chu Yang was completely crushed by Li Yuan's overwhelming power.
Before long, Chu Yang stopped moving.
Looking at Chu Yang lying motionless on the ground, Li Yuan tossed his body into the air, bared his claws, and pierced straight through his chest!
Squelch!
His claws pierced through Chu Yang's heart. Li Yuan still felt that wasn't enough, so he twisted his wrist and pulverized Chu Yang's heart and internal organs with his claws before tossing him aside!
Blood ran down his claws!
Seeing that only Yang Yan and the unconscious police officer remained, the fishmen swarmed forward and killed them both as quickly as possible!
"Mission complete."
Bang!
Just then, a gunshot rang out. A bullet suddenly came flying in from behind!
Li Yuan turned his head aside, and the bullet grazed his face. His scales burst apart, leaving a deep bullet mark across his cheek.
Yet in the blink of an eye, the flesh on his face knit back together, and the wound healed completely.
Click, click, click!
At that moment, several beams of intense light flared behind Li Yuan!
He slowly turned around to see countless police officers surrounding the area, their floodlights illuminating the darkness!
"Everyone inside, don't move! Put your hands on your heads and drop your weapons!"
Li Yuan frowned as he saw Yang Yan's corpse tightly clutching a locator.
Trouble.
Li Yuan wanted to leave immediately, but the moment he moved, several bullets struck his arms and legs!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blood burst out, and Li Yuan dropped to his knees!
"Damn it, destroy this place!"
"Woooah—!"
Li Yuan opened his mouth and released a strange sonic wave!
The sound, like the mournful cry of a whale, made everyone shudder.
"Quick, shoot and kill—!"
Rumble!!
A deafening crash rang out as part of the second floor instantly collapsed. Dust rose, rubble fell and piled up, completely blocking South Weir's entrance!
Countless fishmen rushed in and immediately carried Li Yuan away!
"Go find Queen Bee."
By the time the police outside broke into South Weir, Li Yuan had already vanished.
"Were we... still too late...?"
Thus, the seventeen-member police squad that had entered South Weir was completely wiped out.
Yet on the top floor of South Weir, Queen Bee was pointing at Li Yuan's nose and unleashing a furious tirade.
"Oh, I must be insane. I cooperated with your operation, but what did you people do?!"
"You blew my home to pieces! Do you know how much it'll cost to repair all this?!"
"And that woman! Whether she saw our secret or not, since she was here today, we couldn't let her leave alive!"
"I can't believe you let her get away, and now a whole bunch of cops are blocking my door!"
"No, I need to make a call!"
As she spoke, Queen Bee dialed another number. "Hello? A bunch of cops are about to raid my home. Get them out of here, now!"
"And today's matter, along with any information related to today, I don't want anyone reporting it through you!"
"...Yes, Queen Bee."
A weak man's voice came through the phone.
After hanging up, Queen Bee was in an awful mood.
Several fishmen were digging bullets out of Li Yuan's body. He gritted his teeth as cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
Li Yuan said, "I have confirmed that all targets are dead. My mission is complete."
"The cleanup should be your job."
"My job?"
"You turned my home into a seafood market and punched holes through both the second and third floors. Do I owe you something, or do you owe me?!"
Watching the two argue endlessly, Raven transformed into a girl and slumped onto the sofa with an expression of utter despair.
Sigh...
"I'm exhausted being around you people. Hey, there's still one person who isn't dead."
"Not dead? Who?"
At those words, Li Yuan let out a roar. Sonic waves spread out and covered the entire South Weir building.
Within his perception, beneath the collapsed ruins, he sensed a living presence and the beat of a heart.
Thump.
Thump.
Li Yuan froze. "A fishman's heart... the pulse of the ocean... Something's wrong. In my perception, the survivor should be one of my fishmen, but it also feels different..."
"Like... half a fishman?"
"Who knows."
Raven Girl stood up, picked up the phone beside her, and dialed a number.
"Anyway, that person definitely isn't one of your fishmen. He's already been taken away by the police. Hurry up and figure out how to fix this."
"You mean?"
"003?"
Rain fell on the street.
Wang Haonan walked down the street under an umbrella when someone suddenly called him.
"Hello?"
"...Cleanup work?"
"Understood."
"Alright, understood."
With that, Wang Haonan hung up and continued walking forward.
As he walked, Wang Haonan suddenly vanished from where he stood.
Yet strangely, amid the downpour, rainwater in one spot kept sliding outward in the shape of an umbrella.
