"Beep! Beep! Beep--!!"
"Run! Run!"
On the streets, people were fleeing in panic in one direction.
A mother kept turning around, her anxious gaze sweeping across the crowd and traffic.
" Mengmeng, Mengmeng, where are you? Mengmeng!..."
Suddenly, her gaze fixed in one direction.
Just a few dozen meters away, a little girl with two pigtails was wiping away tears as she helplessly followed the flow of people forward.
" Mengmeng... Mengmeng!!"
The little girl's mother was slightly taken aback, then her eyes widened rapidly.
Ignoring everything else, she immediately walked quickly against the flow of people towards the little girl.
At the same time, he kept calling out the little girl's name.
However, they were too far apart and the surroundings were too noisy, so the little girl couldn't hear her voice at all and could only rely on her to go against the flow of people.
However, at a distance of only a few dozen meters, and going against the flow of people, and not daring to let the little girl out of her sight, this mother's speed was hardly fast.
Terrified screams echoed from the neighboring streets, growing ever closer.
Just as the little girl's mother was becoming increasingly anxious, she suddenly noticed that the little girl had been picked up.
A short-haired man who looked to be around thirty years old picked up the little girl and then nodded to her.
The two sides quickly approached each other.
Finally, the mother took the little girl from the man's arms.
The little girl burst into tears as soon as she ran into her mother's arms.
"It's alright! It's alright! It's alright!" The little girl's mother raised her hand and gently patted her back.
Immediately, she turned to look at the man.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"It's alright, hurry up and run, or the Calamity Beast will catch up!" the man warned.
"Yes, that's right, run, run!" The little girl's mother snapped out of her daze and quickly ran to the side with her little girl in her arms.
The little girl's emotions gradually calmed down during this process.
Suddenly, the little girl raised her hand.
"Mom, why isn't that girl running away!"
The little girl's mother looked in the direction her daughter was pointing.
She was a woman with a beautiful face and a cold expression, her flaxen ponytail swaying slightly behind her head.
"Mommy, why isn't that girl running away?" the little girl asked again.
The little girl's mother opened her mouth, but didn't know how to reply.
The man who had just brought the little girl glanced at the weapon behind the figure before slowly looking away.
He began to speak, his voice deep and resonant.
"Those are the people who protect us..."
"Tap tap tap..."
Han Ling crossed the crowd and arrived at another street.
What came into view were crowds of people who hadn't had time to escape, some lying prone, others sprawled out.
Their faces were pale, and their bodies were weak.
The only thing that seemed to come out was an increasingly weak cry.
Han Ling quickly glanced at the situation on the street, then fixed her gaze on a conspicuous figure standing on a corpse.
It was a bat-like Calamity Beast that stood more than three meters tall, its body covered with cracked, grayish-purple skin, and its exposed bones were covered with translucent crystal clusters.
Crystallized Plague Bat, Tier 3, can expel toxic gas.
Seemingly because it dislikes eating food that has been dead for too long, the gas it exhales usually only causes rapid paralysis, weakness, and slumber in those who come into contact with it.
Nevertheless, treatment should be sought as soon as possible.
Otherwise, over time, it will also have irreversible effects on ordinary people.
After quickly reviewing the information on the Crystallized Plague Bat in her mind, Han Ling slowly brought the sniper rifle from behind her to the front.
She didn't rush to act, but waited.
During this process, the Crystallized Plague Bat also noticed the new human figures.
It roared, abandoned the food at its feet, spread its wings, and pounced.
Han Ling calmly observed the scene before her.
She only set up her sniper rifle when the Crystallized Plague Bat were far enough away from the surrounding crowd.
"Bang--!"
Gunshots pierced the night sky.
The bullet, imbued with Origin Power, pierced straight into the skull of the Crystallized Plague Bat.
Then, before the bullet could even leave the shell, a low "bang" sounded inside the Crystallized Plague Bat's skull.
It collapsed, powerless.
Han Ling calmly slung the sniper rifle over her shoulder once more.
Then, his gaze swept across the scene, taking in the figures lying helplessly on the ground.
She calmly opened her mouth,
" Cold Star, contact the bureau and have them send some antidote pills..."
Inside the underground parking garage.
Wei Leyang followed the sound and walked slowly forward.
Finally, as one car after another and stone pillars passed by, a tall figure appeared before him.
It was Calamity Beast over three meters tall, reaching all the way to the ceiling, with brown fur and a head somewhat resembling a liger.
" Brown-Maned Lion?" Wei Leyang muttered, looking at the figure.
The Brown-Maned Lion slowly turned its head, its brownish-black pupils fixed on the uninvited guest.
"Roar--"
The low growls of protesters could be heard.
"So fierce!"
Wei Leyang muttered something, and after the portable Fluid Battle Armor in his hand landed in his hand again, he didn't toss it up again.
A soft rustling sound arose.
The armor quickly covered Wei Leyang's bandaged body as it moved upwards.
Along with it came the sound of whispers.
" Calamity Beast, humans..."
"This is a war of destiny..."
Night fell over the empty square beneath the radio and television tower.
A woman staggered forward as she ran, the sound of her high heels striking the ground exceptionally clear in the silence.
Her breathing was rapid, her face was filled with terror, but she dared not stop to rest for even a moment.
Behind her, a chilling rustling sound rapidly approached.
A massive, Calamity Beast was chasing after them relentlessly.
"Hiss--"
The sound of hissing came from behind.
The woman's body stiffened slightly.
She dared not stop and continued running forward, but her head involuntarily kept looking back.
What came into view was the head of a beast with a bluish-green body and a ferocious appearance.
"Help, help me--"
Before the scream had even subsided, the lizard's sharp claws had already Rend the Sky and lashed towards her back.
"Clang--!"
A sharp, metallic clang suddenly rang out.
A burly figure, as imposing as an iron tower, blocked her path, alloy gauntlets clashing with lizard claws, sparks flying.
"Step back!"
A deep voice sounded in my ear.
The woman then came to her senses, staring blankly at the figure standing beside her.
The figure's arms were muscular and bulging, and the cuffs of his martial arts uniform fluttered in the strong wind.
She recognized the other person.
"Lei, President Lei!" the woman said, somewhat dazed.
"Yes, step back!" Lei Zhijian repeated, his gaze still fixed on the Earth- Earth-Splitting Lizard.
Upon hearing this, the woman finally came to her senses.
She nodded hastily, saying as she backed away:
"Thank you, thank you!"
