All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

"Fuck!"

Ross picked up his shotgun and fired at the hunting dogs chasing him from the opposite bank; he was fed up with this game of cat and mouse.

"Fuck you... Come on, you bastards..."

"Bang! Bang!"

The shotgun roared, turning the hunting dogs rushing through the river into a bloody mist.

Bertha picked up her sniper rifle and searched around for the invisible monster. To catch the thief, you must first catch the kingpin. If they don't find and kill the hunter in the shadows, they will all be played to death sooner or later.

"Click—!"

Looking through the lens, they noticed something unusual in the upstream river not far from them: the slowly flowing water inexplicably began to ripple.

With her experience, she immediately realized that the monster was crossing the river. She quickly aimed her gun, but unexpectedly, it jammed.

"Fuck...fuck!"

Walking in the humid rainforest and being submerged in water for so long, her high-precision sniper rifle couldn't withstand the strain and broke down.

"Bang! Bang!"

Bertha had no choice but to fire her pistol, but due to the distance and lack of accuracy, all the bullets she fired hit the water, creating waves that not only failed to harm the snake but also alerted it.

"It's there, it's about to charge..."

After Bertha finished shooting her toy gun, she looked at the river water that had suddenly stirred up a large area of ​​ripples and reminded her.

Fortunately, Ross had plenty of firepower and quickly took care of the few remaining blue-skinned hounds. He then turned his gun around and fired at the lion-faced creature upstream.

"Go to hell..."

Ross's shotgun had been specially modified, making it not only more durable, but also converting the magazine into a drum magazine, which held more bullets.

While it may not be as powerful as Nikola's Gatling gun when firing at full power, it can still exert extraordinary suppressive force.

However, he was facing Predators, creatures that were stronger than humans in both individual combat and technological capabilities.

Although his modified weapon was powerful, it would eventually run out of ammunition.

Bertha, working with Ross, used her pistol bullets to block the lion's path, and for a time, the lion was indeed unable to get close.

Their seamless teamwork earned praise from Chu Cige: "The idea is good, and the teamwork is also good, but the gap between us and the enemy is too large, and the defeat is inevitable."

In Chu Cige's eyes, although they had temporarily suppressed Lionface, Ross was, after all, using a shotgun, which became less powerful the further the range.

Even with Bertha's tacit cooperation, the damage inflicted on Lionface was negligible; the scattered bullets only left small dents on Lionface's armor.

"Bang—!"

The dark blue plasma cannon roared continuously, blasting the two men away and dropping their weapons to the ground, but it did not cause them any harm; it only instantly shattered the balance of the battlefield.

The two plasma cannons exploded right beneath their feet. This kind of attack, which neither harms the prey nor renders it incapable of basic resistance, indirectly reflects Lionface's rich experience and his desire to toy with his prey.

"It seems these three rogue thugs are all the same; they all treat their weak prey by toying with and torturing them, plunging them into fear and despair?"

Seeing that the lion-faced creature had deactivated its invisibility and was completely disregarding the two of them, Chu Cige understood why they had been killed by this group in the movie.

Not only were the three of them physically stronger than the group, but they also had superior weaponry and geographical advantages, giving them a significant advantage. Their only weakness was their arrogance, which led to their downfall. No wonder they ultimately met their demise.

While the protagonist's halo also played a part, Chu Cige believed the biggest problem was that they didn't take this group seriously, and were psychologically on a pedestal...

Bertha clutched her injured left hand, watching the lion-faced creature approach, and leaned back.

"Huff...huff..."

The aftershocks of the explosion left her body aching and her arm injured. Now she was like a lamb to the slaughter, powerless to resist.

"Ugh... Fuck!"

Ross endured the pain in his body, drew the machete from his waist, and prepared for a final, desperate fight.

"Come on! You beast..."

He used roars to amplify his momentum.

Upon seeing this, Lion extended his arm blade and accepted Ross's challenge with a cold weapon.

"roar--!"

"Come on..."

Neither side would give way, and both charged at the other with their weapons.

"Clang—Snap!"

The two blades clashed with a clanging sound, but the fight ended with Ross's machete breaking.

No matter how well-crafted his knife was, it was still far inferior to the wrist blade in the Predator's hand, and couldn't even last a single round.

"Pfft—Sizzle!"

Blood gushed out, and Ross's entire head suddenly fell to the ground. Crimson blood splattered from the severed wound, staining the lion's mask red.

With a "thud," Ross's still-warm body fell to the ground, causing Bertha, who was watching all this, to close her eyes and turn her head away.

The lion-faced creature didn't even glance at the carcass. The head and spine of such prey had no collectible value and wouldn't cause it any psychological distress.

It slowly walked to the lying corpse of Yamamoto and stabbed its wrist blade toward his heart.

Finishing blows are a good habit. Unless the prey is certain to be dead, Lionface will always deliver a final blow to the prey's vital areas. This caution has allowed it to survive to this day.

"Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots rang out, and Yamamoto, who had been motionless just moments before, suddenly turned around, revealing a silver-white pistol hidden beneath his body in his right hand. He fired at the chest of Lionface, who had ducked down to finish him off.

"roar……!"

Green blood splattered, and the lion-faced creature let out a painful howl. With a downward press of its wrist blade, it ended Yamamoto's life.

All of this happened so fast that even Chu Cige didn't expect that Yamamoto, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, would have such a backup plan, causing the greatest damage to Lionface among them.

Although most of the bullets were blocked by the armor, the lion's chest was still covered in blood due to the close proximity.

The lion-faced creature continued to stab the already dead Yamamoto on the ground in a fit of rage, venting its anger at how such an insignificant prey had inflicted such humiliating wounds upon it.

After poking around wildly, it still wasn't satisfied. With one hand grabbing the head and the other hand bracing against the shoulder, it pulled hard and ripped the entire spine off the mountain.

"roar--!"

The lion-faced lion let out a triumphant roar, looked defiantly at Bertha, hung its spoils at its waist, and walked toward Bertha, whose face was now deathly pale.

The prey, already terrified, lost all interest in playing.

Bertha's lips turned white, and her body trembled violently. She had never seen such a bloody scene before, where someone had actually pulled out a person's spine.

"No……"

As the lion-faced creature drew ever closer, she kicked her legs uncontrollably into the ground, trying to get away from the monster. But her whole body was still weak and powerless from the shock of what she had just witnessed, and her struggles were in vain.

Her teammates died one by one before her eyes. Fear, despair, and the looming threat of death overwhelmed her, making her oblivious to even the slightest sounds around her. She just kept kicking her legs meaninglessly, hoping to escape from this place...
