Chapter 428: The Current Me, Terrifyingly Strong

The monster whose internal organs had been partially stolen and eaten howled in a frenzy.

Its eyeballs were bloodshot, the muscles beneath its scales bulging violently with rage, as if they would burst open at any moment.

It suddenly grabbed the monster beside it, spun in place beneath its feet, and hurled that monster at Feng Yuhuai like a shot put.

The thrown monster was like a cannonball, rushing straight at Feng Yuhuai with a rumbling wind sound.

Its four limbs flailed wildly in midair, sharp claws flashing with cold light.

Feng Yuhuai's pupils abruptly contracted to needle points; her reaction could not be called slow.

She bent her legs, lowered her waist and hips to generate force, her whole body like a spring compressed to the limit rebounding with a boom.

The instant she touched the ground, her left hand braced against it, five fingers hooking into the rust-mottled pipe wall like steel claws, her wrist rotating a half-arc, finger joints grinding against the ground with a tooth-aching screech.

Instantly, her body spun like a top, her red hair tracing sharp arcs in the air, emitting a "zzzt-zzzt" cutting sound.

Her body shot forward several meters, so fast her movements were almost impossible to see clearly.

Boom—

The monster crashed heavily onto the ground like a small hill. Sewage and rotting mud were blasted several meters high, then poured down like a torrential rain.

Under its heavy impact, the pipe instantly caved in, forming a shocking deep pit; surrounding cement chunks and steel bars flew out in all directions, spinning and shooting out like stray bullets.

Feng Yuhuai's figure swayed, a muffled groan escaping her.

Her right thigh and left arm were slashed by the flying iron shards, flesh torn open, revealing bloody wounds.

Worse, a section of rust-streaked steel bar had pierced diagonally through her lower abdomen; fresh blood dripped down the rebar, staining her clothes red.

Feng Yuhuai's face abruptly darkened, a trace of cold, ruthless light flashing in her eyes.

Against this kind of stray-bullet-like area attack, unless she could transform her whole body into red threads, there was simply no way to dodge.

Yet, that swaying drone in the distance still lingered like a restless spirit, like a stalker secretly filming a pervert, its lens locked dead on her, recording her every move.

Feng Yuhuai's body suddenly twisted in midair, her waist bending ninety degrees, her shoe soles scraping two charred black marks on the pipe wall.

After landing, she kept a cold face, seemingly impervious to pain, her right hand gripping the steel bar piercing her lower abdomen and yanking it out in one go.

The steel bar brought out a string of blood blossoms; the through-and-through blood holes were exposed to the air, blood gushing out.

Feng Yuhuai gritted her teeth; she quickly tore off her outer coat, the fabric shredded into strips in her hands, then tightly bound around her lower abdomen.

Her movements were clean and efficient, exuding a ruthlessness even more terrifying than the monsters.

Injured monsters would howl miserably, go mad from pain, but Feng Yuhuai did not.

Not a trace of pain showed on her face; she didn't even furrow her brows, as if that bleeding body had nothing to do with her.

Hard to imagine that not long ago, in a certain abandoned unfinished building, when she fought alongside Chang Qingsen against 【Mask】, she would scream miserably because of wounds and pain.

Back then, she still seemed to retain some human fragility and fear, but now...

One can only say, if a person doesn't force themselves to turn dark once, you can hardly imagine just how terrifying you can become.

"The current me is completely on a different level from the old me; the current me is so strong even I'm afraid. If I run into that 【Mask】 again, I might just be able to teach him how to be human!"

Feng Yuhuai's train of thought drifted for half a breath, then swiftly returned.

Once the blood holes were covered by cloth, crimson threads suddenly sprouted wildly from the festering wounds, like ten thousand greedy red snakes burrowing into the torn flesh, twisting the flesh and intestines tightly back together.

In under two breaths, the hole that had been gushing blood knitted shut again, leaving only a dark red scar winding across pale skin, like a bewitching tattoo.

The wounds on her thigh and arm, Feng Yuhuai had no time to tend to; she could only let the flesh bleed.

Because the monsters' next wave of attack had arrived.

Just then, that monster fallen on the ground lifted its head to stare at Feng Yuhuai, revealing a ruined face.

Its entire face was covered in scales; on the originally smooth scales rose chaotic white traces, as if gashed by countless blades, dense crisscrossing scratches interweaving vertically and horizontally.

However, the scales were too hard and were not completely sliced through; only its two copper-bell-like eyeballs failed to close in time, scraped off and torn away by Feng Yuhuai's red hair, leaving black holes gushing blood.

"Blind, and still glaring at me?"

Feng Yuhuai smoothed her hair, casually plucking two glass beads strung on the strands.

"Want them? Have them back!"

Feng Yuhuai raised her hand and threw; the two bead-like objects spun at high speed, tracing two straight trajectories through the air, heading straight for the wide-eyed drone.

The monster's ears twitched, but deprived of sight it grew anxious and restless, only able to wildly thrash its tail in place, making "pa-pa" sounds.

The few monsters beside it ignored the flying eyeballs; only that monster wearing clothes on its head showed the strongest curiosity.

It reached out and grabbed at the air, actually snatching one eyeball precisely, then without hesitation stuffed it into its mouth, crunching and swallowing it like candy beans with "crunch-crunch" sounds.

Thud—

The drone was struck squarely by the other eyeball, its body flipping as it crashed to the ground with a dull impact sound.

The delight on Feng Yuhuai's face had not fully surfaced when she saw that drone miraculously wobble and fly up again.

Its single eye was cracked with fissures, its wings emitting gray smoke with a "zzzt" sound, as if it would completely scrap at any moment.

Yet it still persisted tenaciously, using that horrifying eye to continue locking dead onto Feng Yuhuai.

Its tenacious, unyielding spirit shocked Feng Yuhuai, and also sent the monsters into a collective rage.

Companion had internal organs stolen and eaten, monsters did not collectively rage; companion had eyeballs gouged out, monsters did not collectively rage; but when that drone behind them came under attack...

The monsters unanimously, collectively fell into a rage!!!

Low roars issued from their throats, scales around their bodies standing slightly on end; their aura surged a great deal, the air permeated with a suffocating pressure.

Feng Yuhuai froze for a moment, then her face darkened, her feet retreating rapidly in succession, dodging several monsters' pounces.

A monster suddenly pounced; Feng Yuhuai sidestepped, backhand gripping the steel bar in her hand, stabbing viciously at the monster's neck.

"Clang—"

Sparks flew; the rust-mottled steel bar simply could not pierce the monster's scales, only barely scraping off half a scale, bringing out a string of green pus and blood.

Pus and blood sprayed out, splashing onto Feng Yuhuai's shoulder, instantly corroding away a patch of flesh, the surrounding skin also seeping an ominous black as if poisoned.

"Hiss—"

Feng Yuhuai's expression changed, and she quickly retreated backward to dodge.

Another monster pounced from the side, its terrifying tail swinging, nearly grazing her scalp as it passed, taking away a strand of red hair.

Feng Yuhuai's steps were nimble as a snake, dodging and maneuvering within the narrow pipe, and she backhandedly threw the steel bar, aiming straight for the monster's eyes.

However, that monster was not stupid; on the contrary, it was extremely fierce.

Its head suddenly lowered, using its hard skull and layers of scales to forcibly block the steel bar's attack.

The steel bar collided with the scales, emitting a piercing metal grinding sound, sparks scattering in all directions.

The monster did not stop because of this; instead, it sped up its pace, arms spread wide, lunging to embrace Feng Yuhuai in a deadly grip.

At the same time, Feng Yuhuai's ear twitched, faintly hearing a massive wall-chiseling sound coming from the pipe behind her.

Her pupils abruptly contracted, her gaze swiftly scanning the monster group before her, and she suddenly realized——the monster wearing the pajamas had disappeared……
