Jingu Street, Heping District.

A relatively remote and abandoned old street was originally slated to be developed into a commercial street, but the project was ultimately abandoned due to terrain issues.

At this moment, both ends of the old street have been cordoned off by the Public Security Bureau, and temporary checkpoints have even been set up with roadblocks to prevent people from going in.

Several plainclothes officers paced back and forth.

Near the checkpoint, there were about twenty police officers in uniform, armed with guns and riot shields.

The insurance had been activated, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two-story building across the street, ready to deal with any emergencies.

"Captain, are we just going to wait like this?"

A young plainclothes police officer couldn't help but speak up, "I refuse to believe that with so many guns, we can't handle that? Do we really have to wait for some special department?"

"The roads here are complicated, and nobody knows if there's a back door."

Wang Yu frowned, his gaze fixed on the old building across the street.

"You saw it just now, that thing survived a whole magazine of gunfire."

Instead of waiting for specialized personnel to handle the situation, do you want to switch to an assault rifle and riddle him with bullets, or are you thinking of using a rocket launcher?

"Putting aside the fact that the station doesn't have many rifles, you think the commotion isn't big enough?"

Today's operation shouldn't have turned out like this.

Following the trail of the previous theft gang, they intended to dismantle the criminal organization in front of them in one fell swoop.

As soon as the door was broken open, people were injured. It turned out that there were not only criminals inside, but also demons.

If I hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest, it probably wouldn't have been just an injury.

They hurriedly retreated through the gate, not even knowing how many demons were inside, but they were certain it wasn't just one.

Criminals were also mixed in, so the area had to be temporarily sealed off.

"Oh no, they're trying to break through the checkpoint!"

Someone shouted.

The rusty iron gate suddenly opened, and three heavily wrapped creatures rushed out; they were also wearing bulletproof vests!

You can buy this online; no wonder there was no activity earlier.

"Bang! Bang!"

More than a dozen pistols opened fire at the same time.

The unprotected areas were pierced by bullets, revealing patches of bluish-gray, decaying skin underneath.

Especially his face, with its twisted and stiff muscles and white eyes, was absolutely terrifying; it didn't look like a living person at all!

The bullets entered their bodies, and apart from the impact causing them to pause slightly, they had no effect whatsoever. They continued their marching without stopping, and even if they were hit in the head and their brains spilled out, it was of no use.

Hitting the limbs is somewhat effective, but it's not easy against fast-moving creatures, especially under psychological pressure.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

A wave of fear washed over me.

Everyone finally realized that this demon was no ordinary being, and their bodies tensed up, their hearts pounding.

Even a sheriff is still a human being. How could he not react at all when faced with a demon that even a pistol can't kill?

"We absolutely cannot let them get past the checkpoint!"

But they still raised their riot shields, gritted their teeth and pushed forward; if pistols were useless, they could only use their bodies to withstand the attack.

But the next moment, there was a muffled thud.

The disgusting face was inches away, and a tremendous force struck the shield, like a runaway electric car crashing into it head-on.

Immediately, someone fell backward along with the roadblock.

"Fill the vacancy immediately!"

Wang Yu was shouting, but the difference in strength was undeniable, especially with the added psychological pressure.

Just as the sheriff rushed up to cover for his teammates and pull them back, the three disgusting monsters pounced on them.

"Get out of the way!"

At this critical moment, a loud "bang" was heard, like something falling over, and a figure slid down from the air, directly blocking the three monsters and the defensive line.

Upon landing without any cushioning, his body sank, and he unleashed a powerful punch.

The creature, which even two or three people struggled to resist, was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall with a "bang," its chest caved in and its limbs twisted.

But he was still trying to get up.

All the sheriffs stared wide-eyed at them, except for a few who looked completely bewildered.

Is this even human?

Before they could even react, the figure had already rushed forward, swiftly seizing and delivering powerful punches.

A sound of bones cracking rang out, and the three-headed monster was torn to pieces within seconds.

Looking at the wreckage scattered on the ground, the sheriffs couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. This method was not just cruel, it was practically a dismemberment scene.

What kind of terrifying rule is this? Why can't we get close to him?

[Karma Points +45]

More zombies, like regular soldiers, they're everywhere, and you can't even get any useful entries.

Shen Qing frowned slightly, turned to look at Wang Yu who was walking towards her, and got straight to the point.

"Captain Wang, there should be other demons inside. I'll leave the guard duty outside to you."

Furthermore, ordinary firearms are largely ineffective against these demons; you're using pistols, so unless you concentrate fire to completely smash their heads, it won't be of much use.

He glanced at the riot shield on the ground and added, "By the way, could you lend me a riot shield?"

He didn't know what was going on inside, so naturally he had to be extra cautious.

Police riot shields can defend against rifle bullets. Even an eighth-rank demon, unless he has special abilities, can at least be given a buffer.

After saying that, Shen Qing picked up a riot shield and walked towards the house.

"...Captain, are those people from the special department?"

One of the sheriffs swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.

This person is definitely an official; he seems like an extremely dangerous individual.

……

At this moment, the building was dimly lit and filled with a musty, rotten smell.

Holding a defensive shield, Shen Qing cautiously advanced down the corridor.

This is a corridor that goes straight to the end. There are several rooms around it, all of which are open and empty, but there are various everyday items scattered around, as if they have just been left.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept overhead, and Shen Qing reacted instinctively.

"Snap!"

He shifted to the side, tilting his shield upwards, and a very unpleasant scraping sound immediately followed.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that a hole had been torn open in the ceiling of the corridor.

The figure landed, and was a creature that resembled a human, but was covered in leaves and had sharp, bird-like claws. Its green pupils stared intently at him.

"So it's not just zombies after all."

Shen Qing casually tossed the riot shield aside and got into a fighting stance.

When things in nature become sentient, they are very difficult to detect, so it is impossible to determine their exact number; we only have a rough estimate.

However, having roughly determined the opponent's strength—that he was only a ninth-rank—there was no need to be so wary.

The shield was actually a bit of a hindrance; his physical defense was no worse than that.

"hiss--"

The demon screamed and charged forward.

Shen Qing met him head-on, his right hand forming an eagle claw shape. With a twist of his waist, he grabbed the opponent's shoulder with an eagle claw and pulled him inward. Then, with a slight movement of his left shoulder, he generated power from the ground.

Half-step Crushing Fist!

With a gust of wind, and under the power comparable to an eighth-grade supernatural being, the demon exploded and died without even a scream.

The green liquid was splashing everywhere. This thing was fast, but it was clearly not good at defense.
