Tear Flesh Apart

"Howl!"

Without time for further thought, a vampire, devoid of humanity, pounced on Lin Fei on all fours. His lips were stained with crimson blood, and the corners of his mouth were torn open to the maximum extent, making the lower and upper parts look like a hideous, gaping maw.

Lin instinctively stopped, then swiftly raised his knee and slammed it into the vampire's throat!

"Bang!"

"Click".

The vampire's head flipped ninety degrees under the force and he fell to the ground on the spot, but he was still able to move and crawled towards Lin Fei with his head tilted to the side.

Completely losing their human form, they are like wild beasts that only react to human blood.

Lin's one eye was completely covered by a layer of coldness. The moment he ducked to dodge the vampire's leaping attack, he smelled the vampire's stench above his head. He bent his arm, like a compressed spring, and then blasted out like a cannonball!

"Smack!"

The fist pierced the vampire's chest cleanly, smashing his heart into a bloody pulp. The vampire, struggling and reaching out to grab the blood on the black-haired man's indifferent face, didn't realize it was his own blood. Slowly, he stopped struggling.

Lin pulled his hand from the dead vampire. At this moment, the "beasts" in the distance came out in full force, and screams and howls filled the air. This water park had become a paradise for vampires.

The clear water was stained blood red.

What exactly happened...?

Lin faced the two vampire monsters who saw him as prey. He gathered Honkai Energy in his palm, dodged their leaping attack, and then struck them in the back with a palm. The Honkai Energy exploded inside them like miniature explosives, blasting their bodies to pieces.

Even if Theresa hadn't attacked anyone else, would things have ended up like this?

The black Grim Reaper flickered in the dim light. Compared to the bloodthirsty beasts with scarlet eyes, his single remaining eye swayed, casting a long, iridescent tail. No one could see how he moved or how he appeared before the monster.

"Roar!"

A vampire, clinging to a streetlamp, howled, spitting saliva and blood from its mouth, scattering it under the flickering light.

The lights went out the next second.

"..."

Silence.

When the streetlights came on again, the monster vanished as if it had evaporated into thin air.

In this water park, which should have been a hunting ground for monsters, the howls that rose and fell were gradually decreasing.

It was as if an invisible hand had gently swept through them, erasing the blood-sucking beasts that had lost their humanity.

But so what?

Outside this water park, the entire Canghai City has been transformed into a living hell.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of blood and fat; death and flies equally enveloped everyone's heads.

It was like a plague, which had infected everyone without anyone knowing when.

Bury that rotten filth into people's souls.

Lin cleared away all the vampires he encountered, leaving a trail of blood behind him. His entire body was stained crimson, and the bandages had come loose during the fierce battle, revealing deep, bone-revealing wounds through the exposed stitches.

"Gah—"

Not far away, a little girl was tearing at the neck of her father's corpse, whose eyes were wide open in disbelief. No more blood could be squeezed from the shriveled body, but the convulsing beast with its head tilted was still gnawing at the whitish, loose flesh, making eerie noises.

"..."

Lin stared at the small, deformed figure from behind. The other person noticed him, turned around, and had bits of her father's rotten flesh and her own bitten lips hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Her dark eyes, like a mirror, reflected the other person's strange figure, and her eyes, more turbid than any congealed blood clot, also reflected her bestiality and... hunger.

"Bang!"

After a gunshot, she fell onto her father's body, licking the blood from her mouth until her last breath.

Beside Lin, a figure stood alone. She put away her pistol and said to the silent Lin with a stern expression, "I have something to ask you, but we must find Theresa first."

"... Where is she?"

Both of them had too many questions, but the most urgent task was to find Theresa was very likely to lose control. Regardless of whether Theresa caused the disaster, she was definitely involved.

"I don't know. She disappeared after the 'beast tide' broke out. I cleared out all the vampires around me but still couldn't find her."

Kallen's tone was already urgency; her unease about the current situation and her anxiety about Theresa's disappearance were making it difficult for her to think.

However, Lin was a man who never gave up thinking. He immediately thought of a mountaintop that offered a panoramic view of the entire water park and most of Canghai City, and turned to rush towards the nearby mountain.

He arrived at the foot of the mountain, but instead of running up the mountain path, he leaped up, grabbed the protruding rock face, and jumped up again, like a spider climbing on the almost vertical mountain wall.

Kallen stared in astonishment at the rapidly ascending figure; he seemed more like a monster than any vampire.

But just as he was about to reach the summit, Kallen suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way!"

"Boom—"

The mountain peaks trembled.

The whole world was trembling.

An earthquake?

No.

Lin, clinging to the rock face, looked up and saw a gigantic, scarlet eye that blotted out the entire sky, less than half a meter away from him...

They made eye contact.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Tearing Flesh to Pieces

A blood-red moon?

Wrong.

That bloodlust mixed with the playful emotion unique to wild beasts appeared in the "blood-red moon" that blotted out the sky; it was clearly a giant eye with a radius of twenty meters!

At the mountaintop, a colossal beast beyond description folded its wings, its sharp claws piercing the rocks, its cruel eyes staring at Lin, who was only half a meter away.

The monster's appearance, at first glance, resembles a bat magnified dozens of times. Its rough, dark shell is covered with congealed black and red blood clots, and two identical bat heads are deformed and growing on its neck.

Strange, terrifying, sinister.

If the word "terrifying" were to be visualized, it would probably look like this.

On the faces of those two heads, only a single giant eye and a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth remained, capable of swallowing a human whole if it opened its mouth.

The enormous, twisted creature stared motionlessly at the tiny, seemingly terrified human, its two crimson beastly eyes reflecting the figure of the one-eyed man.

"..."

"..."

After a long stare, the bat opened its two mouths, its sharp teeth, capable of shredding anything, snapping at the man.

"Get out of the way, Lin!"

"Get out of the way, Lin!"

Kallen's voice overlapped with a call from the past, and the man's contracted pupils rapidly dilated, a chill more inhuman than a monster spreading through his body in an instant.

"Click!"

"Bang!"

Kallen clearly saw that, in the moonlight, the man raised his right hand and punched the monster in the jaw. His fist and the monster's hard shell shattered at the same time, and blood, flesh, and bone fragments splattered everywhere!

"Howl!"

One of the bat's heads had its jaw pierced, emitting a heart-wrenching scream, while the other head bared its jagged fangs at Lin with even greater ferocity, ready to crush him in the next second.

A chilling glint flashed in Lin's eyes. Without hesitation, he turned around and plunged his right arm, now missing its hand and reduced to a bone spur, into the beast's eye on the head!

"Howl!"

A purplish-black liquid gushed from the pierced eyeball, and the bat's enormous body swayed on the mountain peak. It never expected that this human would be so fearless and reckless, even more insane and like a beast than itself!

"Tick-tock..."

Blood gushed from the wounds on his face, mixing with the monster's blood. His only remaining left eye looked incredibly calm. Lin grabbed the rock wall with his left hand, flipped himself up to the top of the mountain, and the instant he landed, he strode towards the monster whose two heads were screaming in agony!

However, the monster's next move forced him to stop his attack.

The bats continued to howl, but the screams grew increasingly piercing, as if each syllable in the middle had been stretched out, causing the eardrums to vibrate with each howl!

His entire body was engulfed in unimaginable pain, as if his bones were being cracked. Lin tried to cover his ears, but he couldn't stop the terrifying sound waves from entering his body!

He was like a tube of toothpaste, held in someone's hand, squeezing out copious amounts of blood from the wound on his face. As those flying drops of blood left his body, Lin could clearly see them trembling in mid-air, vibrating from the sound waves.

"Forest!"

Kallen rushed toward the mountain peak, but her calls went unheard by Lin.

Lin lost his hearing one second after being attacked by the sound waves.

Blood was also flowing from his ear canals, and he could no longer hear anything.

Even after losing his hearing, he still couldn't stop the sound waves that clung to every muscle in his body and struck every bone, tearing his flesh apart.

"Cough... Huff..."

The man let out a roar he couldn't hear. He lowered his left hand, which was covering his ear, and his whole body was like a blood-soaked corpse that had come out of hell. Hot blood emanated from his body and gave off a stench. He rushed out like lightning!

"Howl!"

By this time, the bat had recovered from the pain. Like Lin, it only had one eye left, which glared fiercely at the tiny creature that was rushing towards it. Its two huge mouths opened again.

"Boom!"

An even more intense sonic wave transformed into a blur of blades, instantly tearing Lin's figure to shreds! He instantly turned into a pool of blood mist!

Wrong!

"Roar!"

The bat flapped its wings, and below the blood mist, the black-haired man pushed off the ground, creating huge spiderweb-like cracks, and appeared directly in front of the bat in the next second!

Using the exposed broken bone as a blade, Lin plunged the knife into the bat's eyeball!

To Kallen's astonishment, the bat-like monster and the man tearing at it clashed in mid-air, both falling toward the distant water stage!

"Bass!"

The sharp claws at the tip of the bat's wings slashed at Lin, but he used the arm pierced into the monster's body as support to spin around in the air and precisely dodge the attack. Then, he raised his left fist high, unleashing destructive Honkai Energy, and smashed it down on the monster's head with a skull-crushing iron fist!

"Bang!"

One of the bat's heads exploded into a bloody firework, and it screamed as it crashed down onto the water stage with Lin, shattering the stage with the terrifying impact!

"Whoosh!"

"Click!"

Lin heard the screams coming from his bones and internal organs, but he ignored them, rolled over and grabbed the remaining head of the monster that was twitching after losing one of its heads!

With one foot planted on it and both hands gripping its chin, Lin's body muscles unleashed their full power!

"Tear—"

The bat felt its jaw being ripped off its body in terror! It flailed its limbs, trying to break free, but—

"Sizzle!"

The monster's grotesque jaw was torn off from the lower half of its head, skin and flesh still attached. Lin didn't even look at it and casually tossed it aside. Now covered in blood, he reached out and grabbed the flesh from the monster's chest again!

"Sizzle!"

A piece of flesh from his chest was torn off entirely.

"Sizzle!"

Another one.

"Sizzle!"

The chilling sounds of flesh being torn apart echoed continuously. After Kallen turned back, she saw the scene before her and felt her body go cold and stiff.

The terrifying two-headed bat, at this moment, its lifeless body was undergoing its final nerve twitches.

The part below its neck was almost entirely stripped down to a ghastly skeleton, its purplish-black muscles floated on the pool, and the original blood pool was now stained a murky black.

A man, panting heavily, stood before the monster's corpse, dropping the flesh and blood he was holding.
