That's how it is.
In the snack shop, Wang Zhong and Manni sat opposite each other, but there was no conversation or interaction between them, as if they were strangers, merely sitting together.
However.
This silent atmosphere was soon broken by a fierce voice from their earpieces.
"All units, we've detected an emergency signal from the first floor of the Slums branch office..."
"Who is closest to this branch? Can you go and check? Please report."
This voice belonged to Captain Li Ying.
Immediately.
Upon hearing the urgent words, Manni pressed her right ear and said with a serious expression, "Manni calling Captain, Manni calling Captain, I am closest to the branch office. I will go and check with my team."
"Good, go and check."
From the other end of the earpiece, Captain Li Ying's delighted voice immediately came through.
Hearing this, Manni immediately stood up. Just as she was about to run, she stopped and glanced at Wang Zhong, who had also stood up. She said with a hint of coldness, "This mission is mine. You don't actually need to come."
"It's fine, we're a team after all, so we should cooperate."
Wang Zhong thought for a moment and gave an irrefutable reason.
[Are we teammates?]
Upon hearing Wang Zhong's words, Manni's heart trembled slightly. Then, her indifferent eyes flickered. After nodding at Wang Zhong, she uncharacteristically reminded him, "Stay close to me later. After all, I'm a formal combat member..."
"Okay."
Wang Zhong didn't refuse. He nodded and then followed behind Manni, running towards the branch office about three hundred meters away.
In fact.
Wang Zhong, who had long controlled all the surveillance cameras in the slums, knew better than Manni and Li Ying what was happening in the branch office.
There were seven [Half-demon warriors] inside the branch office!
It was precisely because of this that Wang Zhong chose to follow Manni. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to defeat monsters and level up.
At the same time.
One hundred meters away, the [Mechanical Warrior] that had been on standby also received Wang Zhong's instructions.
Immediately, the [Mechanical Warrior] acted swiftly, breaking into a run towards the branch office.
Along the way.
Wherever the [Mechanical Warrior] passed, the surveillance cameras that captured its image were controlled by some unknown force, and its presence was silently erased.
In less than a minute.
Wang Zhong and Manni arrived near the entrance of the branch office.
"Roar!"
As the two approached the entrance, a furious roar suddenly came from inside the door, sounding like a wild beast howling...
"Is that the sound of a beast?"
"Since when did our branch office keep any beasts?"
At the entrance of the branch office, Wang Zhong frowned and muttered with feigned confusion. Then, without waiting for Manni's instructions, he opened his earpiece and reported the situation of the branch office to Captain Li Ying.
"What? The roar of a beast?"
"Damn it! These bastards, keeping such monsters in the branch office?"
From the other end of the earpiece, Li Ying's furious voice immediately came through. However, he was not blinded by rage. He calmly issued orders: "Manni, you and Wang Zhong wait on the spot. Do not enter the branch office. I will have Captain Link lead a team to the branch office. Your current mission is to guard the exits of the branch office and prevent any monsters from escaping."
"Understood, Captain."
Manni replied and then took out two [Mechanical Firearms] from her person, staring at the branch office entrance with vigilance.
Behind Manni, Wang Zhong also drew a [Mechanical Firearm] and aimed it at the first-floor windows of the branch office...
Inside the branch office.
In the lobby, dim white light illuminated the entire space, revealing the seven figures standing within.
"Roar!"
The seven [Half-demon warriors], clad in hardened fiber clothing and with fingers as sharp as claws, smashed around the branch office before turning their attention to the entrance.
Hardened fiber clothing is a type of protective garment that can withstand attacks from ordinary cold weapons.
"Tear."
The next second, a [Half-demon warrior] swung its sharp claws, viciously raking the wooden door of the branch office. Instantly, three deep claw marks appeared on the wooden door.
At the same time, wood chips flew everywhere.
Before long, a large hole was ripped through the wooden door.
Streams of pure white moonlight shone into the branch office through the large hole, also attracting the attention of the other six [Half-demon warriors].
Outside the branch office.
"Crack!"
When the wooden door, representing their last defense, was broken open by the seven [Half-demon warriors], they twisted their heads, scanning their surroundings. Soon, their eyes, filled with brutality, fell upon Wang Zhong and Manni...
These were the looks of surprise they had when they saw their prey.
Prey!
Both Wang Zhong and Manni's pupils contracted, their faces showing extreme shock. However, for one of them, it was an act...
"What the hell are these things?"
Seeing the seven [Half-demon warriors] appear before her, Manni's delicate body trembled, and she exclaimed. At this moment, she seemed like an ordinary girl, unable to react to anything.
However, just because Manni couldn't react didn't mean Wang Zhong couldn't.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
At this moment, Wang Zhong pulled Manni back while raising his right hand, holding a firearm, and continuously shooting in the direction of these [Half-demon warriors].
Simultaneously, in mid-air, the [Bionic Patrol Crow] was diligently filming this scene of a hero saving a damsel.
Click! Click!
On the street, the ordinary bullets fired from Wang Zhong's mechanical firearm penetrated the chests of the [Half-demon warriors] by about one centimeter before being stopped.
Invulnerable to blades and spears!
These [Half-demon warriors] were already physically strong, and with the protective effect of their hardened fiber clothing, even this standard-issue [Mechanical Firearm] could at most cause them damage, but not a fatal blow.
This was the terrifying nature of the half-demon warriors.
"Damn it."
Seeing this dangerous scene filled with the aura of death, Wang Zhong, after emptying his mechanical firearm, quickly grabbed the mechanical firearm from Manni's body and continued to shoot. However, his retreating steps never faltered.
