South City No.2 Middle School?
Su Han and Zhu Xiong exchanged glances. Wasn't that the gathering point Zhu Xiong had initially suggested?
Back then, due to their lack of strength and resources, they were worried that the surviving students would be a burden, which was why they hadn't taken over. But now, there were actual Eye Beasts active in that area.
"Are you saying that the Eye Beasts took captives in the direction of South City No.2 Middle School?"
Guo Du imdiately nodded. He said, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. Since it took people towards that direction, its den must be over there. We should not have pursued them."
Regret flashed across his face. If not for his greed, if he hadn't rashly given chase, perhaps they wouldn't have suffered the losses they did now.
"Guo Gang, get the first aid kit and treat his wounds."
Suddenly, Su Han gave the order. Guo Du looked at him in surprise and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, thank you so much."
"Get in the car," Su Han was not rescuing them for nothing. He calmly stated, "Then guide us there."
Guo Du's expression changed, "Wait, wait a mont, that place… there are more than just those monsters there. I heard many more sounds…"
"I said guide us, understand?"
Su Han spoke every word clearly, causing Guo Du to shudder and dare not say another word: "...I… I understand."
Su Han wasn't asking but commanding—a command beyond question.
Even if Su Han and the others might know the way, they had to follow him.
After quickly treating the wounds, everyone got into the vehicles. Four people spread across three cars, with Zhao Qian and another squad mber in the last car.
Su Han's face revealed contemplation while Zhu Xiong drove beside him. He said, "Be cautious later on; we might be dealing with Second Order monsters."
Zhu Xiong nodded heavily, responding, "I know."
The Eye Beast that took away so many survivors from Nanshan Residential District certainly captured more than just these few.
The current Eye Beast had already a First Order Upper Grade and a First-level Interdiate strength. Even if there were weaker Eye Beasts, their numbers were likely not few.
The one capable of ordering these monsters around had to be a more powerful being, naly the Second Order.
If we are talking about distance alone, South City No.2 Middle School was so distance away from Shanhu Villa, and they didn't have to consider it for the ti being.
However, since the Eye Beasts' range of activity had reached this area, rather than letting them slowly discover Shanhu Villa District, it was better to strike first and see what the situation was like.
On their side, Su Han had two Second-order Superior Angel Envoys, Zhu Xiong had a Second Order Low Grade Glutton, Bai Qilan had a Second Order Low Grade Demon Eye Spider Woman. At the very least, even escaping wouldn't be a problem for them.
So, they could take a chance to probe the situation.
The vehicles approached the direction of South City No.2 Middle School. The fog still shrouded the surroundings, but this ti, the Ancient Worm Tree did not withdraw; it remained in its Anthropomorphic State. Tree-born Worms followed underground.
Its Radiance of the Lamp Tree illuminated the surroundings, guarding the convoy like a lighthouse.
Scorpion Spider Demon, Demon Eye Spider Woman, Glutton, and Bone Armor Giant Pig did not withdraw, maintaining a steady speed to escort the vehicles on both sides.
About half an hour later, a burning wrecked car suddenly appeared on the mist-covered road, its fra almost burned black.
"This, this is our car."
Guo Du's low voice ca through, tinged with sorrow: "It was here that we were suddenly attacked by a stronger Eye Beast."
This place was within the range of Eye Beast activity, just over a thousand ters from South City No.2 Middle School.
Su Han and the others did not respond; they simply beca more alert. The Tree-born Worms had spread out like feelers, encroaching towards the surroundings and gradually converging towards South City No.2 Middle School.
"Keep driving."
The vehicles continued forward, but oddly enough, not a single Eye Beast that they had anticipated appeared. The entire street, the entire fog-covered surrounding, was eerily quiet.
An uncanny feeling enveloped everyone, especially Guo Du, who was already sweating from anxiety on his forehead.
"Bang bang bang"
A series of gunshots suddenly ca from within the fog. Everyone's expression changed, and Su Han's eyes sharpened.
Gunshots.
And so dense. He couldn't help but think, could it be the people from South City camp?
"Drive faster, it might be the people from the South City camp."
Zhu Xiong nodded and imdiately sped up. Soon, they neared South City No.2 Middle School. The gunshots beca more intense, and so did the sounds of battle and the roars of giant beasts.
The vehicles quickly arrived at the street before the school's main gate. The fog dissipated under the light of the Radiance of the Lamp Tree, rging with the glow of the crystals of several other Lamp Trees by the main entrance.
"A fight at the gate?"
Zhu Xiong comnted as he saw the scene unfold before him.
The street outside the school was brightly illuminated, relying on the school walls. A clear fight erupted at the entrance.
On the outside were about 20 police officers, ard with rifles, and nurous opaque bottles at their waists, about the size of a fist with a strange structure. They were being thrown over the wall by the fighting squad mbers into the fray, instantly exploding.
On the other side were those Eye Beast monsters. Occasionally, Eye Beasts would leap over the wall, attempting a flanking attack, but they were quickly beaten back by the fast-arriving Angel Envoys.
The battle at the main gate was the most intense, with two monsters, about six ters tall, locked in terrifying hand-to-hand combat, roaring as they clashed.
The monster on the police side was pitch-black, with a thick carapace shaped like an armor, covering its humanoid body from head to toe.
It had a fierce horned head and three grueso arms, two of which were clawed with talons like curved sabers, and one burly arm protruded from under its left rib, enveloped in a layer of black.
Its body was robust, yet not bulky; on the contrary, it was incredibly agile with swift movents, and from behind trailed a barbed tail, lashing out like a whip.
The opposing monster was even more terrifying, standing over six ters tall, close to seven ters, with a head fully fused to its body, and nearly a hundred eyes on its gray-white skin, eerily similar to human eyes. The eyelids were not fringed with lashes, but lined with sharp teeth, which made for a horrifying sight as dozens of eyes blinked in unison.
Its shape resembled a toad, with four legs bracing against the ground. Among those hundred eyes, it grew nurous tentacle-like appendages of varying lengths, and particularly two thick tentacles sprouting from its sides, which served as its main combat limbs.
"Director Guo, there are too many monsters, we can't hold them back for much longer."
Zhao Yaqian commanded the battle, her sniper rifle aid at those hundred-eyed monsters, every open eye a target for her.
Chapter Stay:
With a bang, another eye was shattered.
But this was only temporary, for as soon as an eye was damaged, it would quickly close up. Before long, the bullet would be ejected, and the eye would heal as if nothing had happened.
The regenerative power of the monster's eyes was far stronger than that of its body.
Guo Wutao's expression turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Prepare to retreat, get the flash grenades ready, throw them when the monster uses its skills."
With a rifle in hand, he shot accurately at the Eye Beasts trying to break out, while not far ahead, a giant canine with bony spikes was tearing at creatures attempting to get over the fence.
They had not expected such terrifying monsters in South City No.2 Middle School. If Zhao Yaqian hadn't reached Second Order Low Grade, they might have all been annihilated.
During the fight, several team mbers quietly took the remaining flash grenades into their hands.
As soon as the flash grenades were utilized, and the monsters' engagent briefly eased, they would imdiately retreat.
"No need to retreat!"
Suddenly a loud voice ca from the end of the street. Guo Wutao looked in astonishnt towards the sound to see three off-road vehicles charging their way quickly.
Accompanying the vehicles were several terrifying monsters from the side.
He instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon, but in the next mont, the tallest monster had already charged in front of them, clad in Black Armor, half-spider, half-human, resembling a Demon God.
Wait, are they Su Han?!
Guo Wutao identified the monster, and just then, the Scorpion Spider Demon bent its spider legs and leaped powerfully from the ground, jumping over ten ters, and swept seven or eight Eye Beasts coming from inside the gate with a slash.
The other Angel Envoys moved simultaneously, all charging towards areas swarming with Eye Beasts, be it the main gate or the walls at the verge of being scaled.
Su Han and his group erged from their cars, and with a sweep of his eyes, he spotted Cheng Zhenyong and smiled.
"Su Han!"
Cheng Zhenyong, of course, noticed the commotion and showed a look of joy on his face.
He shouted out, and Su Han replied, "We'll talk after we catch the monsters."
Seeing the Scorpion Spider Demon enter the battlefield, the monsters grew desperate. A hundred eyes flew open as a surge of scarlet light instantly flared up.
Guo Wutao and Zhao Yaqian saw this and their faces changed instantly. They shouted to Su Han, "Don't look directly at it, the Hundred-Eyed can assault your mind."
"Flash grenades!"
Guo Wutao shouted for the flash grenades, but as they were deploying them, the Demon Eye Spider Woman had already rushed forward before them.
The Demon Eye burst open with a blaze of crimson light.
The Hundred-Eyed Monster stiffened in its motion, losing its edge. The Scorpion Spider Demon stepped forward, grabbing its body with four arms and body slamming it heavily to the ground.
Two scorpion tails, like spears, shot forth, piercing the creature's body and penetrating two of the eyes, blood spurting out.
The monster, enraged, exploded with belated crimson light.
Most of it focused on attacking the Scorpion Spider Demon, but after a brief pause in motion, the Scorpion Spider Demon seed utterly unhard.
"Pfft."
The Scorpion Spider Demon's clawed arms extended, stabbing directly into the body of the Hundred-Eyed Monster, and in a mont, the Coagulation Cannon at its mouth gathered.
The massive Coagulation Cannon blasted onto the body of the monster with a deafening boom, injuring half its body and damaging twenty to thirty eyes, which couldn't be repaired in a short ti.
Zhao Yaqian was stunned by this sight, not expecting that the ntal-shaking scarlet light would have no effect on the Scorpion Spider Demon.
After all, even those not hit directly by it, those who caught a glimpse with their eyes, would feel a sense of dizziness, if only for a fleeting mont.
However, she quickly realized that Su Han's Angel Envoys were far more powerful than the monster.
"Roar!"
Just as the Scorpion Spider Demon was about to fire another Coagulation Cannon, suddenly from inside the school, the uniform roar of Eye Beasts echoed, easily a hundred in number.
Everyone's expression turned to shock, but in the next mont, the snipers assigned to high vantage points at the gate changed color dramatically.
"The Eye Beasts are bringing out the survivors they're controlling."
As the voice fell, the Eye Beasts attacking the gate withdrew, revealing the sight inside: hundreds of Eye Beasts were binding the survivors, threatening them.
