Meanwhile.

In the distance, the six men were hiding around the corner of the teaching building, observing the battle situation with binoculars.

"Too many... five, no, six... and one small one is running towards us!" The tall, thin man's voice trembled.

"What's the panic! They're not coming for us!" the man in the baseball cap snapped, but his hands were trembling.

However, the next second, everyone's expression changed.

That little monster... that little monster that Su Mu shot and wounded... ran in the exact direction they were hiding. It wasn't running around randomly, but rather sprinting straight down the tree-lined path like an arrow released from a bow.

"Damn it! It's coming towards us!" The tall, thin man turned and ran.

"Why are you running! It was just passing by..." Before the man in the baseball cap could finish speaking, the little monster had already rushed in front of them.

It stopped.

Its eerie green vertical pupils stared at the six people, and it emitted a low, feline-like purr. Blood was still seeping from its back, but this did not affect its mobility at all.

"No, don't come any closer..." The short-haired woman instinctively took a step back.

The little monster's tongue popped out.

It's too fast to see clearly.

Before the tall, thin man could even scream, the tongue pierced his chest and emerged from his back. Then, with a flick of the tongue, it dragged him in front of the little monster. The little monster opened its mouth and bit down on his head.

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

"Run! Run!" The man in the baseball cap was the first to react, turning and running. The others scattered and fled, some running to the left, some to the right, and some towards Su Mu's direction.

But the little monster was too fast. It swallowed the tall, thin man's upper body in two gulps, then, on all fours, chased after the nearest person. A few seconds later, another scream rang out.

Of the six people, two died in less than half a minute.

"Run that way! Run towards that person!" someone shouted. "He even saved Lin Xiaohe! If we run over there, he won't just stand by and watch her die!"

The remaining four people ran desperately toward Su Mu. They ran past tree-lined paths, past flowerbeds, past the corpse of the blue monster, and finally reached Lin Xiaohe.

"Lin Xiaohe! Help!" The short-haired woman ran in front, her makeup ruined, her face covered in tears and snot.

"Help us out of the fact that we've known each other!" The man in the baseball cap followed closely behind, his voice trembling.

Lin Xiaohe's lips were trembling. Her finger was on the trigger, but she didn't pull it.

She didn't know whether she should fire the gun.

Save them? These people just abandoned her on the rooftop half an hour ago and ran away without looking back.

She raised her gun and aimed it at the people running ahead... not at them, but at the ground beneath their feet.

"Da da da..."

The bullet struck the ground in front of the man in the baseball cap, kicking up a cloud of dust. Startled, the man stopped abruptly, nearly tripping.

"What are you doing?!" His voice was shrill and piercing. "Lin Xiaohe, are you crazy?!"

Lin Xiaohe did not answer. She raised the muzzle of her gun and aimed it in another direction.

"Run that way," she said, her voice soft but cold. "Don't come any closer."

The short-haired woman was stunned. She looked into Lin Xiaohe's eyes, which held no hatred, no anger, only a coldness she had never seen before.

That indifference chilled her to the bone.

"you......"

"Run!" Lin Xiaohe repeated, the gun barrel remaining perfectly still.

The man in the baseball cap gritted his teeth, turned, and ran in another direction. The short-haired woman hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Behind them, the little monster had already swallowed the third unfortunate soul, its eerie green vertical pupils turning towards the two fleeing individuals. It dismounted and quickly gave chase.

The screams rang out again.

Lin Xiaohe showed no expression in response.

At this moment, Su Mu was still confronting those monsters.

He could sense that the blue leader was recovering.

It hid behind the two female monsters, the bleeding from its wounds had stopped, and new keratin began to grow from the edges of its broken scales. Its breathing changed from rapid to steady, and its eerie green vertical pupils stared intently at Su Mu, as if calculating something.

It's stalling for time.

Su Mu didn't fire any more. He had already fired three magnum rounds, leaving seven. He couldn't waste them on those shields... the female monsters' scales were too thick; the bullets would take away most of the damage.

His thinking was simple: the other monsters were not a threat; the most troublesome was the blue leader. But clearing out the female monsters blocking his way in a short time was almost impossible. They stood firmly in front of him, forming a wall with their bodies.

Su Mu was not in a hurry.

He is waiting.

Wait for the thrust to cool down.

The blue monster had just broken free from his combo by using its tongue to wrap around him and borrow his strength.

If he can get close again and destroy its tongue the moment he knocks it away, it will be unable to repeat the same trick.

Twelve seconds.

Eleven seconds.

ten seconds.

In the distance, the screams and curses of the six men could be heard intermittently. Su Mu ignored them. Their lives or deaths were none of his concern.

Nine seconds.

Eight seconds.

Seven seconds.

The Thrust cooldown is finally over.

Su Mu raised his AWM and aimed at the female monster blocking the way. Not at it... but at the blue monster behind it.

The bullet pierced through the female monster's armpit and struck the blue monster precisely at the base of its forelimb.

"Bang......!"

[-172. Precision power accumulation: 14%.]

[-172. Precision power accumulation: 16%.]

The blue monster let out a roar, its forelimbs buckled, and its body sank slightly. The two female monsters immediately adjusted their positions and stood in front of it again.

But in that brief moment, Su Mu caught sight of the gap.

He moved.

"Thrust".

The moment the skill was activated, his body vanished from its original spot, and the next second he appeared behind the two female monsters and in front of the blue monster.

The spear was raised from below, its tip precisely piercing the blue monster's lower jaw and penetrating its upper palate.

[Thrust: Hit. Control duration: 1 second.]

This time, Su Mu gave it no chance to break free. He gripped the AWM in his left hand, pressed the muzzle against the base of the blue monster's tongue, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang......!"
