Chapter 68: Sudden Attack

The heavy armored vehicle drove on the empty road. The buildings on both sides were empty and deathly silent. Even though it was daytime, there wasn't a single person on the surrounding streets, and in many places, wild grass had grown, and there wasn't even anyone to take care of it.

"This place is too close to the abandoned city district. The public security is very poor, and occasionally some dangerous things happen, so very few people choose to live here. However, as an investigator, I often run over here because many practitioners who have committed crimes think of escaping into the abandoned city district for the first time."

Inside the car, Wang Wang Jian surveyed the surroundings through the car window.

The surrounding buildings were very strange to others, but quite familiar to him.

However, just as Wang Wang Jian was looking around, suddenly, his eyes glanced, seeming to see something, but he wasn't sure. He immediately let Zheng Gong, who was responsible for driving, steer a bit to the left.

After adjusting the viewing angle, Wang Wang Jian's face changed instantly.

It wasn't just him; Zheng Gong, who was driving, also discovered something and stepped on the brake subconsciously, exclaiming: "What... what is that thing crawling on that building? Did I see it wrong?"

The others in the carriage looked in the direction of the two people in front immediately, and their pupils shrank abruptly.

They saw that in the shadow of the wall of a building not far away that wasn't really lived in, a huge, monster-like human figure was crawling. That person's skin was gray-white, his hands and feet were very long, and just one arm was at least ten meters long by visual estimation. And every hand and foot was embedded deep into the cement wall like sharp claws, firmly fixing that huge body, like a giant spider.

"Where did such a monster come from?" Chen Hao was also wide-eyed, feeling incredible.

"It's a spider-man that appears in the danger zone. It doesn't belong to our world, and it usually moves in groups. It's very dangerous. It's just that this is the largest one I've ever seen," He Xiong narrowed his eyes at this moment and subconsciously gripped the firearm in his hand.

Li Yi also had a sunken face: "I've also encountered them in the danger zone. That time, two of my companions died at the hands of a group of spider-men. But the spider-men I saw last time were only about four or five meters tall, and had eight hands and feet, and the color was gray-black. But this one is a bit different. Not only does it have fewer hands and feet, but the color is also different, and the body size is even more outrageous."

"Although there are differences in shape and color, I can be sure that this monster is of the same type as those spider-men."

Wang Wang Jian roared in a low voice immediately: "He Xiong, use the bullets for dealing with extraordinary creatures and kill this thing. We can't let this thing crawl around in the city district recklessly."

"Understood." He Xiong immediately took out a special model bullet painted with red paint.

Pull the bolt, load.

Although he only had one hand, He Xiong could still easily control this sniper rifle.

"Zheng Gong, once this monster is hit, prepare to retreat immediately. Don't hesitate," Wang Wang Jian ordered again.

"I understand." Zheng Gong was sweating nervously at this moment. This was his first mission, and he didn't expect to run into such an incredible monster.

If this kind of monster wasn't sniped with one shot, it was very likely to be enraged and rush over. At that time, they would be in danger.

"I'm already prepared. The monster hasn't discovered us, so the probability of hitting it is very high. Wang Wang Jian, where should I hit this time?" He Xiong said in a low voice.

Wang Wang Jian ordered immediately: "Don't hit the head. The first shot should aim at the monster's chest. Even if you don't kill it with one shot, it's a profit as long as it's heavily injured. With the power of the Extraordinary M200 sniper rifle, if that thing's body isn't sturdy, one shot can make it explode."

"Good."

After He Xiong finished speaking, he immediately stood up in the carriage, bending his waist, and then skillfully opened the sunroof on the roof of the car, stepped on the pedal with one foot, and stuck most of his body out of the carriage. Then he immediately set up the sniper rifle and adjusted the muzzle to aim directly at the huge humanoid monster on the building in the distance.

The whole process was done in one go, because He Xiong understood that the vigilance of these terrifying monsters was outrageously high. Even aiming from a distance could be detected, so before he was ready to make a move, he couldn't even make a pre-aiming movement, otherwise, he would definitely alert the enemy.

However, just as He Xiong was about to fire.

Suddenly.

He Xiong sensed something, his hair stood on end, and a terrifying danger nearby was targeting him.

At this moment, Li Yi in the carriage also had some vigilance, and his eyes glowed as he looked directly in a direction on the right side of the carriage.

However, his peripheral vision only saw a huge black shadow flash by.

"Not good, He Xiong, give up sniping and retreat," Wang Wang Jian roared.

He reacted. There were other dangers lurking nearby. Everyone in the armored vehicle had been targeted long ago, but because no one had gotten out of the car before, they hadn't been attacked. Now, He Xiong had exposed most of his body to snipe at the giant spider-man in the distance, which gave the other party a chance to make a move.

This was a typical case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He Xiong was experienced, and almost at the first moment he sensed the danger, he gave up sniping, and then his body retreated into the carriage quickly.

The huge black shadow flashed by, and a fishy gust of wind whistled through the car window above his head, like a heavy truck speeding past. Under such power, just touching it would be enough to kill someone.

Fortunately, He Xiong retreated his body safely and avoided this terrifying attack.

However, the huge impact force landed on the armored vehicle.

Instantly.

The heavy armored vehicle was flipped over by a terrifying strange force, then slid on the ground for several meters, and finally flipped over against the wall next to it.

"Roar!"

Outside, a roar like a wild beast came, making the head buzz.

"We can't be trapped in the carriage, otherwise everyone will die. Rush out. The first moment you see that thing outside, use eye-strike together to contain it, then adjust the formation. I'll lure that thing away first, you all be careful," Wang Wang Jian roared immediately, and then opened the car door, giving others time to escape the carriage.

"Wait, wait, Wang Wang Jian, the sniper rifle is lost," He Xiong's face

The loss of that Superhuman M200 sniper rifle meant they had lost their trump card for dealing with the fierce beast.

Wang Wang Jian was startled, then said: "It must have been lost nearby during the attack just now. Let's charge out together; while pinning it down, see if we can find it."

However, at this moment, the door on the side of the carriage suddenly opened.

A vigorous figure rushed out of the carriage.

"Li Yi, don't be impulsive." Wang Wang Jian shouted, wanting to stop him, but it was already too late.

Li Yi was the first to rush out.

But everyone understood at this moment that Li Yi wasn't rushing out to escape, but to buy time for everyone. The first person to rush out of the carriage was the most dangerous and the most likely to be targeted by the unknown fierce beast outside; it was even possible he would be killed the moment he showed his head.

"I'm wearing clothes made of Flood Dragon skin, so my survival rate is the highest. I'm the most suitable for this action." Only this thought was in Li Yi's mind right now.

Although he knew what he was doing was dangerous, Wang Wang Jian's actions just now had moved him.

In the face of such a crisis, Wang Wang Jian had thought of risking himself to delay time and protect the safety of others, so Li Yi was also willing to stand up and help his teammates.

Sure enough.

As soon as he rushed out of the carriage, another beast-like roar sounded in his ears, followed by a stench rushing toward his face.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a huge, hulking black figure killed its way to Li Yi's front.

Li Yi's pupils shrank suddenly; he wanted to counterattack, but it was already too late.

A thick arm covered in dense black hair had already swiped over.

This power was terrifyingly great; if hit, Li Yi didn't doubt for a second that his head would explode instantly.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and raised his arms, assuming a defensive posture.

"Bang!"

A loud noise.

Li Yi's entire body was sent flying by a powerful force, crashing through the tempered glass of a nearby abandoned shop, then rolling and sliding, destroying who knows how many chairs and debris inside the shop, before finally sticking heavily to a wall and coming to a stop.

After the strike, the fierce beast seemed to notice that Li Yi wasn't dead and roared, wanting to pounce again.

But Li Yi had bought precious time for the others.

At this moment, Wang Wang Jian, He Xiong, Chen Hao, and the driver Zheng Gong had seized the opportunity to rush out of the carriage and had already adjusted their stances.

Then, white light erupted from the eyes of all four, becoming instantly brilliant.

Eyewitness!

The four joined forces to lock onto that tall, black figure.

The fierce beast's movements stalled briefly.

Only now did everyone see clearly what kind of monster had attacked their armored vehicle.

It was a black bear, over three meters tall, covered in dense black hair, walking upright. Unlike a normal black bear, this bear's head leaned more toward a human shape, and the hair on its face had fallen off, revealing grayish-black skin. Its eyes were cruel and cunning; it didn't look like a beast at all, but rather a wild man draped in fur.

"This is a man-bear, a fierce beast in the process of evolving. If this thing continues to cultivate, it won't be long before it turns into a bear demon and transforms into a superhuman creature. There were legends about man-bears in the north before, and the one in front of us is very terrifying; I estimate it has the strength of the Spirit Perception Realm."

He Xiong's expression changed suddenly, as if he recognized this thing.

Man-bears, like Biao and mountain spirits, are all fierce beasts that have attained some level of cultivation, existing between demon and beast.

Although He Xiong was providing intelligence, his gaze quickly moved to the surrounding ground.

He was looking for the sniper rifle.

Although the man-bear was terrifying, his sniper rifle was stronger. As long as he got his hands on it, plus the pinning down by his teammates, he could definitely snipe this fierce beast.
