Chapter 13: The Horrific Scene

On the street outside the Public Security Bureau, messy cars were piled together, thrown onto the street by fleeing people. There were countless collisions. Fortunately, in the city, car speeds were not too fast, so the collisions only caused damage to the car bodies, without any casualties.

Several cars smashed into a ball should have been caused by a Fierce Beast that had just run past.

On the street, blood was everywhere, and incomplete bodies could be seen everywhere. On the glass of some shops and car bodies, shredded flesh stained with blood was stuck. Things thrown away by people during their escape were visible everywhere, with paper and plastic bags flying in the street. On the green belt beside the street, some trees were broken. The freshly broken fractures seemed to have been caused by the impact of a power ful Fierce Beast.

The thick smell of blood made Zhou Liming and An Xiaowei, who had just left the Public Security Bureau, shiver.

An Xiaowei was a woman, after all. No matter how rich her social experience was, at this moment, she was full of fear, which made her unable to resist moving slightly closer to Zhou Liming’s side.

The fragrance on An Xiaowei’s body slightly reduced the smell of blood, which made Zhou Liming blush again. The scene of An Xiaowei taking off her dress in front of him just now appeared in his mind. He tightened his grip on the fire axe in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, “Where do we go?”

“Do you even need to ask? Of course, we escape from here.”

An Xiaowei endured her fear and took the lead in advancing toward the street to the west. She wanted to get a car for transportation, but thinking that the streets were blocked by cars everywhere, cars were basically useless. Besides, who knew if the sound of a car would attract the attention of the Fierce Beasts?

Zhou Liming followed up. In his view, An Xiaowei’s running speed was not slow, which might be a kind of human potential.

On the street, it was not just Zhou Liming and the others. In some buildings, people would rush out from time to time and join the fleeing ranks. However, on some streets, shadows of Fierce Beasts appeared. Their powerful attacks ran rampant in the crowd, bringing a wave of terrified screams. A large number of screams rang out in the city streets, advancing from the seaside location toward the inland.

People fleeing in panic, in their panic, some ran with the flow of people, some hurried to the garage to pick up their cars, and some even closed their doors and stayed at home.

In the chaotic scene, people who fell due to panic were trampled by countless feet. After just a few screams, they went quiet. Through the gaps, one could see the fallen person trampled until their body was broken into pieces. In the trampled stomach, internal organs flowed out, and then were trampled by more feet until they became like paste…

An Xiaowei, witnessing all this, directly grabbed Zhou Liming’s hand and bit her lip tightly.

Zhou Liming was grabbed by this smooth little hand. Being held by a woman like this for the first time in eighteen years, in this crisis moment, he still flushed red instantly, looking at a loss. An Xiaowei sensed Zhou Liming’s strangeness and whispered, “I, I am scared…”

Zhou Liming boldly held her hand tightly. He did not know what to say, so he just used his strange strength to squeeze desperately through the crowd, leading An Xiaowei to constantly stay ahead of the crowd. But the entire Zhe B City was too big. The permanent population plus the floating population was nearly ten million. Without command, everyone fought to escape. Almost every street was crowded with people. Wanting to escape the entire city was easier said than done?

Originally, escaping should have been extremely tense, or rather, serious and focused only on running away, but for some reason, Zhou Liming was always a bit curious.

“Why were you caught in the Public Security Bureau?”

Zhou Liming’s question made An Xiaowei stunned, but her expression was very natural. She sneered and said, “Do you think that a woman as beautiful as me, with a natural noble temperament, must be a child of a rich family, or a plaything kept by some rich and powerful man, or a woman selling her body?”

As if his inner thoughts had been hit on the mark, Zhou Liming’s face heated up. He could only push away a man in front of him with his hand and pull An Xiaowei to squeeze in.

“If I said I am an orphan, and the industry I engage in can be said to be cheating, or also stealing, would you believe me?”

An Xiaowei’s answer made Zhou Liming’s advancing body stop abruptly. An Xiaowei, who was unprepared, crashed into Zhou Liming’s back, and her magnificent front part was squeezed out of shape.

The softness on his back made Zhou Liming have a strange thought, but more than that, he felt a surge of anger. He abruptly shook off An Xiaowei’s hand and roared, “What I hate most is thieves, is thieves!” Everything that happened yesterday made Zhou Liming feel incomparable anger. Yes, if there were no thieves, he would not have that damn sense of justice, nor the so-called making up for mistakes with merits, nor would he have killed someone by mistake, nor would he have been caught in the Public Security Bureau.

The one who caused him to become a murderer and a prisoner was precisely that damn thief. He hated thieves.

An Xiaowei did not understand what was going on at all. Seeing Zhou Liming shake off her hand and looking angry, she shouted, “What are you doing? So what if I am a thief? I steal from those so-called upper-class people, money from some hypocrites. They are all not good things, all thinking of getting my body. Hmph, no man is a good thing. As long as I tempt them a little, they all become like lustful pigs, letting me slaughter them.”

Zhou Liming was shouted at by An Xiaowei and also sobered up. He thought, “Yes, so what if she is a thief? Even without a thief, my fate couldn’t be changed. I would still be a Human-shaped Fierce Beast. Besides, now everything is in chaos, does identity even matter anymore?”

“Roar…” A huge sound rang out, and the street trembled as if a slight earthquake had occurred.

A giant Fierce Beast with a body height of seven or eight meters appeared at the street entrance not far away. Its whole body was covered in thick scale armor. It looked like an ape, roaring at the sky. Its two explosive arms swept the cars on the street away like toy cars as they waved. When its fists hammered the buildings beside the street, it was like cutting tofu. Debris flew, and a mark was scratched onto the building. Its huge feet trampled over the fleeing people, leaving puddles of human-shaped meat paste.

“Ah, run quickly, the Fierce Beast is coming!”

“Get out of the way, get the hell out of the way…”

“…”

Countless terrified sounds rang out. The crowd, which was already pushing and shoving, was stimulated by this ape-like Fierce Beast. The shadow of death stimulated people’s out-of-control emotions, and they began to lose their rationality. The whole street became a mess, filled with scenes of people running and fleeing in all directions.

A Fierce Beast of this level was far from comparable to the Multi-legged Insect from earlier. Just looking at the momentum of its impact, even Zhou Liming felt his scalp tingle.

Even more terrifying was that during the charge, this ape-like Fierce Beast suddenly stopped, opened its huge mouth, and took a sharp breath. The air formed a current and was sucked into its mouth. Then it closed its mouth, and after a short two seconds, it suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out the gas it had just inhaled.

It was impossible to imagine what Zhou Liming saw. It was like a violent storm attacking. The airflow processed by it turned into dozens of air blades. The thin iron shells of the car bodies on the street were split open by the air blades. The trees beside the street were turned into sections of wood and broken branches and fallen leaves under the attack of the air blades. Dozens of meters in front of its attack, a scene of destruction like a ruin appeared.

The people in this section were cut into pieces by the air blades and scattered on the street.

This cruel and bloody scene far exceeded what people could bear. Some people in the crowd with poor endurance had already fainted from fear.

This massive Fierce Beast quickly attracted the attention of the fighter jets in the sky. A Fighter Jet swooped down with a roar, and a Missile detached from the wing, successfully hitting this Fierce Beast. Amidst the sound of the explosion, the entire Fierce Beast was enveloped in the flames of the explosion, and then a roar that made people’s eardrums hurt came.

The Fighter Jet hit its target and quickly pulled up its nose, roaring over the street.

Zhou Liming’s ears twitched, his pupils contracted, and he abruptly pulled up An Xiaowei, who was about to cheer, and roared anxiously, “Everyone run, it is not dead yet.”

As if verifying Zhou Liming’s words, the burning Fierce Beast seemed to go crazy and started to run wildly. Its speed was astonishing. Its powerful ability made it ignore everything blocking its way, whether cars or green trees. The Missile just now did not deal it a fatal blow, but caused it significant injury.

Under this terrifying rampage, things in front of it were either knocked over by it or sent flying by its two powerful arms.

At this moment, Zhou Liming could not care so much. In this crowded street, using the previous method of pushing through the crowd to escape would only get him trampled or sent flying by this Fierce Beast. After picking up An Xiaowei and carrying her on his shoulder, ignoring her screams, he bent his legs slightly, and in a spring, he jumped up and landed on the roof of a car not far away.
