"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Gunshots rang out from the neighboring residential area.
Although she couldn't see the specifics, Xu Yuqin couldn't help but feel worried:
"If only there weren't any Calamity Beast..."
Just as she was about to draw the curtains, the sound of gunfire seemed to be getting closer.
She hesitated, keeping the corner of the curtain closed, and continued looking outside.
After a burst of gunfire, the roar of an engine and the screeching of scraping wheels followed.
Then, a black SUV emerged from the thick fog.
Outside the car window, two people leaned out, firing their guns to hinder the dark figure that was following closely behind.
"Quick! Shake it off!" came a desperate shout.
The vehicle sped towards the exit of the residential area.
However, just as the vehicle was about to slow down at the sharp turn at the entrance of the residential area, the situation changed.
The shadowy figure behind seized the opportunity.
A grayish-brown shadow shot out of the fog like a cannonball, suddenly closing the distance.
Its sharp claws rose high, then it slashed fiercely at the rear of the car!
"Bang--!"
A loud crash was heard.
The SUV instantly lost its balance and overturned.
With a screeching sound, the SUV scraped across the road, leaving a trail of bright sparks, and slid for several meters before finally coming to a stop.
The roof of the car touched the ground, and the wheels spun freely.
The gunfire stopped abruptly, leaving only the buzzing sound from under the hood and the angry growls of the Sharp-Horned Rat.
Watching the massive black shadow walk towards the SUV.
Xu Yuqin was so frightened that she covered her mouth, her heart almost stopping.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the thick fog.
It was a slender yet agile figure, her short hair bouncing gently with her movements, standing out conspicuously in the thick fog.
She gently raised her hand, and a cone-shaped object instantly rose from the ground.
Then, before Xu Yuqin could even react to what it was,
Then they saw the cone-shaped object rapidly split apart from the ground and shoot straight towards the huge black shadow.
"Call out--"
The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and short.
The surrounding fog was also torn open by the cone, creating a passage.
Then, accompanied by a 'hiss' sound.
It was precisely injected into the thick shoulder blades of the Sharp-Horned Rat.
The Sharp-Horned Rat howled in pain, its attack on the off-road vehicle abruptly changing direction.
The massive body, propelled by inertia, continued to lunge forward, but crashed into the concrete ground beside the car.
Sparks flew as the claws scraped across the pavement, accompanied by a furious howl.
Watching the Sharp-Horned Rat struggle to get up, the slender figure lightly touched the ground with her toes, and then raised her hands again as if to speak.
Two more cone-shaped objects bulged up from the ground.
Immediately, one in front and one behind.
Two hissing sounds accompanied the impact as the attack penetrated the flesh.
The Sharp-Horned Rat collapsed completely to the ground.
Watching the figure flip the SUV over with his bare hands, Xu Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief.
The hand that had been tightly covering his mouth slowly lowered, he gently patted his chest, and murmured:
"May the Bodhisattva protect you! May the Bodhisattva protect you..."
A relieved smile appeared on her face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes gradually smoothed out.
Xu Yuqin looked at the figure with some curiosity.
Are you a member of the Supervision Bureau?
Although she had never met any members of the Supervision Bureau before, judging from the performance of the figure just now, only a member of the Supervision Bureau could have accomplished that, right?
Xu Yuqin thought about it with some uncertainty.
Suddenly, her eyes widened slightly.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong inside the car, the figure turned around and ran towards this side of the road.
She moved very fast, like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the road not far from Xu Yuqin's window, and then quickly left.
Only when the figure completely disappeared into the thick fog did Xu Yuqin finally pull her gaze back, somewhat lost in thought.
My gaze seemed to linger on that neat short hair, slightly damp from the mist, and that soft yet somewhat familiar profile.
That's... Gu Nan?
Time passed slowly.
The calm, clear sound still echoed over the Linhai.
But everyone could hear the undisguised weariness in that voice.
Shen Heng's fingertips trembled slightly, and he had no choice but to sit down, placing his hands on the table to steady himself.
Although he did not personally participate in the battle.
But in order to appease the city's residents, his Origin Power was nearly depleted.
Not to mention constantly filtering and processing the massive amounts of information flooding in your mind.
This kind of exertion is far more than just physical exhaustion; it's like an extreme drain on one's mental and physical well-being.
The cold wind blowing from the rooftop couldn't dispel the ever-updating numbers in Shen Heng's mind.
The remaining Sharp-Horned Rat: the police/warrior squad still fighting.
160+:20+
150+:10+
140+:3
130+:2
Finally, a low-frequency rumble came from the horizon.
Shen Heng remained seated and looked up.
The fog above remained thick, obscuring everything.
But in the city, flashing red lights had appeared at some point.
The roar reached the sky above the Linhai and hovered there.
Then, a short while later...
One figure after another appeared in the sky, rapidly descending as indicated by flashing red lights.
Looking at the figures above, Shen Heng let out a soft breath, then his brows furrowed slightly.
If the common Sharp-Horned Rat Sharp-Horned Rat is here, where is its owner?
"Bang!"
One figure after another landed on the ground.
The leading commander had barely landed when he quickly knelt down, pressing one hand to his earpiece, his voice calm and swift:
"Each squad advances according to the designated fan-shaped area!"
"Team One clears the main road; Teams Two and Three provide flank cover, prioritizing the evacuation of surviving combat personnel!"
"The medical team will accompany Team Two and provide immediate treatment to any wounded they find!"
"Team One understands!"
"Second team, understood!"
"Team Three..."
One "I understand" after another came through the earpiece.
The commander stood up, his gaze sweeping across the misty streets, and waved his arm:
"Action! Keep the channel clean and report the location of the Calamity Beast in real time!"
A street somewhere.
A six-person team advanced rapidly along the street.
Their gun barrels were firmly pointed at the fog ahead.
"Eleven o'clock! Two! Short bursts!" The captain's low growl suddenly rang out.
The words had barely left his mouth when six rifles spat fire almost simultaneously.
"Da da da! Da da da!"
The crisp, rhythmic sound of each shot tore through the fog.
Moments later, the gunfire stopped abruptly.
This was followed by a brief confirmation.
"Target eliminated. Proceeding."
On the bridge.
Several figures stood in a row.
A figure stood at the front, watching the several dark figures that were faintly visible in the thick fog.
The leader stood in front and raised his hand.
The shadowy figure only dropped suddenly when it was nearly 100 meters away.
"Fire!"
"Da da da! Da da da!..."
A barrage of gunfire rang out across the Linhai area.
Under such powerful firepower, even Tier 3 Calamity Beast would find it difficult to withstand.
Gunshots gradually replaced the terrifying sounds...
