down and a fierce wind was howling, yet inside, it was terrifyingly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another earth-shattering lightning bolt struck, lighting up the pitch-black hall as bright as day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Aqiang suddenly realized that the creature resembling a \"Water Demon\" had already appeared a few meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, it turned its head towards them, seemingly aware of the people who had mistakenly entered the Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, its bulging popeye-like eyes flickered with an unsettling green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, close the door!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man reacted the fastest, immediately grabbing for the door handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster suddenly went on all fours, making a \"whoosh\" sound as it rapidly leaped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door that had just been closed was almost shattered into wooden planks upon impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, a webbed claw reached through the cracked door, grabbing the arm of Aqiang who couldn’t dodge in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aqiang, scared out of his wits, was screaming for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the others, upon witnessing this, backed away with their faces full of horror and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door panel was torn further, and a fish-like ugly and terrifying head squeezed through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its mouth was agape, revealing sharp teeth and emitting a series of low growls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed the man-eating Water Demon from the legends of Yong’an Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Aqiang was petrified with fear and the others were at a loss for what to do, a gunshot suddenly silenced both the screams and growls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body of the creature stiffened instantly, its eyes emitting a bright green light, and the humanoid face vaguely showing anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it released the claw gripping Aqiang’s arm and violently pulled itself back, pouncing towards some audacious attacker behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, a series of gunfire, akin to the sound of popping beans, resonated in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed someone was engaging in a fierce combat with the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few backpackers, slightly braver, approached the breached door, cautiously peering outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the darkness, flashes of gunfire erupted, as a group dressed in black combat suits entered the hall, guns in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their targets were not only the Water Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As lightning struck again, illuminating the interior of building,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it revealed that behind it, there were many more non-human creatures with fish-like appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps startled by the gunfire, they sprang out of hiding and attacked the unwelcome visitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes glowed green like bulbs, and with each leap, they could jump two meters high and four meters far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were exceptionally fierce, undaunted by gunfire unless hit by concentrated fire or in vital spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combatants were not to be trifled with either, not only was their Gun Skill precise, but they were also physically formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even wielded Daggers, engaging in close combat with the monsters that lunged at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like the most elite Special Forces in movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, they were even stronger than Special Forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the fight with the monsters, they exhibited speed and Strength that surpassed the onlookers’ understanding of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the men with buzz cut even caught a monster’s thick neck with one hand and snapped its spine with a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the shocking scene unfold before them, Aqiang couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaos within him had somehow settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re saved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other backpackers also let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the bizarre encounter with the monsters was just a brief scare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since rescue had arrived, everyone being human, there was seemingly no need to worry anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few minutes later, the gunshots gradually ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned to the hall, with only the occasional thunder mixing with the sound of the wind and rain entering the ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of backpackers all gathered by the door, eyes wide, staring at the scene outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-white floor tiles were covered with bullet holes, and countless bodies of monsters lay sprawled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green, viscous blood slowly flowed out, with a stench that nearly pervaded the entire hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, those combatants, who seemed like Special Forces, did not show any casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, some had sustained minor injuries, took out syringes from their medkits, administered injections, and quickly returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of their pause and regrouping, the crowd quickly ran out of the duty room, shouting for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing several soldiers aiming their guns at them, they frantically explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re just ordinary tourists, not monsters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, are you guys from the official military? This building is very dangerous, can you send us back to town first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinary tourists?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the people’s babbling, the man with the buzz cut swiftly glanced at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then raised his hand and made a gesture towards his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the order, the combatants immediately raised their guns and pulled the triggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunfire flashed, and blood spurted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What greeted these backpackers was the cold harvest of their lives by the bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the verge of death, they had no idea why these soldiers would shoot at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans and monsters lay intertwined, their red blood and dark green fluids gradually blending, forming a grotesquely terrifying scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned once more to the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones still standing were these mysterious soldiers, and a single backpacker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was none other than the middle-aged man who had been smoking in the duty room earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed no fear in the face of his companions’ deaths, remaining completely indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, raised his hand to salute the man with the buzz cut, and spoke in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the commander, your subordinate has been observing here for six hours with no suspicious enemy activity detected thus far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man with the buzz cut was exactly Luo Lie, who was leading the assault on the True Thought Society’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>",984,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","46e921cf707b9862b31667afdf3dcd0dabe386e3e51a9fd9cbab0b4fab450cd8","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-178","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-176",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
