After the darkness!

"Run!" Lin Yijue grabbed the girl's wrist and rushed forward.

The woman screamed and shook him off: "What's wrong with you? You're crazy! I'm calling the police!"

She shook her hand, then raised her phone and waved it.

Lin Yijue noticed that the woman's phone had a gold-rimmed logo on the back: a red bull with colored accents.

Red Bull 7 Pro.

This phone appeared in the original owner's memories. It boasts powerful performance, can maintain high efficiency in both high and low temperatures, has an ultra-long standby time of 72 hours, and excellent photography capabilities. Coupled with its exquisite appearance, it sold out immediately upon its release.

Of course, this also means the price is not low, amounting to a full 20,000 yuan.

Just then, a dark shape suddenly darted out from the shadows of the back alley.

The latter was on all fours with its joints bent backwards, and a piece of hairy flesh was hanging from its fangs.

It's that monster from the alley!

"Damn it!" Lin Yijue grabbed the plastic trash can at his feet and threw it.

Bang!

The monster was knocked back several steps, but it just shook its head, its sharp claws carving five deep gashes into the ground.

"Are you crazy? That's just a stray dog!" the woman screamed, her face turning cold.

Lin Yijue's face twitched, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran forward.

"Why are you running?" The woman didn't expect him to turn and run away. She had a bad feeling and subconsciously looked back.

Just then, the dark figure pounced like an arrow released from a bow.

A heavy, low breathing sounded, and foul-smelling saliva mingled with the rainwater.

Bang!

Another trash can flew by and hit the dark figure on the head with a dull thud.

"What is this?!" The woman's eyes were filled with terror as she staggered and ran.

"That thing ate people!" Lin Yijue growled, his gaze lingering on its sharp claws. He stopped running and ran even faster.

Compared to the homeless man last time, he has done everything he could this time, but he can't even take care of himself, so the best course of action is naturally to run away first.

The woman realized the situation and cried out, "Don't leave me!"

As she spoke, she started running as well.

"Don't look back, run!" Lin Yijue frowned, gesturing towards the front. "Run straight ahead, there's a police station up there!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Whoosh! A sound of something cutting through the air.

His heavy breathing became even more pronounced.

The monster's limbs twisted at bizarre angles, and it leaped up in an almost upright posture, its claws tearing through the air as it aimed straight for Lin Yijue's back.

"Grass!"

At the critical moment, Lin Yijue suddenly turned around, his eyes bloodshot, and jumped to the side.

At the same time, he grabbed a trash can from the roadside and, taking advantage of the moment when the monster missed its target, smashed it into the monster's face with all his might.

Bang! !

A tremendous force of recoil came, making his wrist ache.

The light green trash can with the word "recyclable" printed on it suddenly deformed, with a large dent at the end.

The monster crashed into the corner of the wall and roared in pain.

The next moment, it charged at him again.

Lin Yijue subconsciously pushed the trash can forward.

boom!

He was thrown against the utility pole, his back slamming heavily against the metal bar, a metallic taste rising in his throat.

The dark figure charged forward again.

Lin Yijue flipped over and pushed the trash can forward, the concave curve of the can pressing against his face.

Only then did he see the monster's appearance. Its head was somewhat human-like, with vertical pupils. Its dark purple scales gleamed with an eerie metallic sheen in the twilight, and countless black blood vessels writhed beneath its festering flesh.

With each breath, the tooth-like fangs emitted a nauseating stench.

He is over 1.9 meters tall.

At this moment, his teeth were blocked, and foul-smelling black blood continued to flow down the barrel.

Lin Yijue took a deep breath, slightly twisted his waist and hips, and suddenly raised his knee, taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver several knee strikes to the abdomen.

The monster cried out in pain and lunged forward with both hands.

Lin Yijue lightly touched the ground with his toes, using the Cloud Ascension Step, and slid back half a step.

Swish!

The two claws grazed past it by a hair's breadth.

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Yijue's eyes. He leaped forward, slid forward, and then delivered a vicious right hook to the man's jaw.

In a normal UFC fight, even in the heavyweight division, such punching power and such a point of contact would at least secure the victory, if not a knockout.

But the monster only staggered and swayed slightly.

He swallowed hard and ripped off the awning pole in front of the shop not far away.

The pale blue awning fell down instantly, covering the monster.

Whoosh!

With a sharp scream, the shroud shattered instantly.

Lin Yijue picked up a nearby awning pole and used it to push upwards, once again blocking the other party's huge mouth.

During the fight, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if countless steel needles were churning his internal organs.

Emptiness, insect bites.

That familiar hunger surged forth, stronger than ever before, as if a bottomless pit inside my body was frantically devouring everything.

At the same time, an unfamiliar force spread through his blood vessels. He could clearly feel his muscles swelling, and every swing of his arm carried an unprecedented explosive power.

He exerted his strength and pushed the monster away.

"Still standing there! Run!" Lin Yijue roared at the woman who was standing there dumbfounded, his voice hoarse from extreme hunger.

The two took the opportunity to slip into a side road.

The fork in the road is a narrow alley with residential buildings on both sides, equipped with motion-activated lights.

The hurried footsteps echoed in the confined space, then were torn apart by the sound of rain, leaving only the lights on both sides that lit up every few meters.

Behind them came a scream that sounded like a baby crying from a dark figure.

As Lin Yijue ran, he knocked over nearby debris in an attempt to buy time.

"There's a door ahead!" the woman exclaimed in surprise as she spotted a half-open iron gate at the end of the alley.

"That's the back door of the KTV, it's usually not locked!" Lin Yijue glanced at it, a fragment of memory flashing through his mind.

Just then, the dark figure suddenly rushed up and pounced on him again in an almost upright posture.

His heart pounded, and he rolled on the spot. Then, taking advantage of his low stature, he delivered a powerful kraft kick to the inside of the opponent's knee, causing the opponent to fall to the side.

Seeing this, the woman seized the opportunity to rush towards the iron gate, pulled it open, and slipped inside.

Then, seeing Lin Yijue shove the monster aside, use the momentum to jump back a step, and rush towards her, she steadied herself, gritted her teeth, and suddenly pulled him back—

The heavy iron gate slammed shut.

She is afraid!

That monster wasn't a dog, it was an alien! A ruthless, bloodthirsty alien!

If they waited for the other person to come in, they would definitely not have time to lock the door.

In such a confined space with no way to retreat, we could easily be blocked and killed, so we have no choice but to let the other side block us from the outside.

Wait until she calls the police, then wait for the police to come and rescue her.

Anyway, that person can fight and hold on, and besides, the other party provoked the monster first.

Lin Yijue was stunned. He turned around and saw this scene. He never expected the other party to do this.

"Open the door!" he shouted, his face extremely grim.

"I'll call the police right away, hang in there!" The woman looked at Lin Yijue through the iron gate bars and swallowed hard.

Then quickly lift the door handle to prepare to lock the door.

But as soon as she raised her hand, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

The door didn't respond...
