Chapter 194: Chapter 170: Last Time I Went Easy on You—Did You Really Think I Was That Nice? (Part 2)
Even though there was a subtle unease within, the captain and Xiaoli relentlessly pursued, determined to bring the two individuals ahead to justice.
Both sides clashed against each other, refusing to yield, pursuing through the wild forest.
Quan Xiaobai, although his body barely counted as different from ordinary people, had been in a state of being constantly hungry but not starving. After running for a while, he already felt he couldn’t continue running.
Seeing the distance closing in, Quan Xiaobai suddenly heard, then quickly formed a hand seal with one hand and pointed at the two behind him with the other, fiercely shouting: "Rush!"
The leaping figure turned around in a strange posture, slightly bending its legs, and with a "bang" sound, appeared right in front of the captain, suddenly grinning, revealing fangs, before unleashing a punch.
Not to mention Xiaoli, even the well-versed captain was incredibly astonished at this moment, subconsciously making a grabbing move.
"Boom!"
No surprise, as soon as the captain’s hand reached out, it felt like it touched not a human hand but a piece of iron sheet!
The overwhelming pain ensued, the monster didn’t lose its momentum, striking a punch that sent him flying, blood spurting from his mouth, the massive impact directly knocking him unconscious.
The captain fell to the ground, with only one thought before passing out: Damn it, which ancestral grave mutated, this is not human!
"Captain!!!"
Behind Hawk, Xiaoli, upon seeing this scene, instantly turned from stupefied to furious, reaching for his gun’s position.
It was not only anger but a horror towards the unknown, plus the attack on the police was an established fact, complying with the emergency firearm regulations!
Bang! Bang!
After two gunshots, a bullet whizzed through the air, the hazy moonlight rippled and the air was torn apart.
Normally, the police-issued guns have the first shot as a blank or dummy round, and his first shot was an empty chamber.
The monster didn’t react to the first shot, but in truth, Quan Xiaobai didn’t react.
"Bang!"
With the second gunshot, Quan Xiaobai reacted swiftly, but Iron Corpse responded even faster, narrowly avoiding the bullet.
The bullet plunged into the soil, instantly shattering a stone, splattering small shards.
"Don’t push me!"
Standing still while forming a hand seal, Quan Xiaobai’s expression suddenly darkened, his eyes turning bloodshot once again, that suppressed murderous intent began to resurface, he directed the hand seal towards Xiaoli: "Rush!"
The zombie instantly became exceptionally agile, maintaining distance with Xiaoli, staring menacingly at his neck.
As the saying goes, whether a hero or a coward, the battlefield reveals all. Clearly, Xiaoli is a strong contender.
In a short time, Xiaoli adjusted his stance, firmly gripping the gun, eyes fixated on the monster, ready to strike at the optimal moment.
Soon, the monster started to stir, remotely hearing continuous noises approaching, indicating he had no more time to waste.
Manipulating the zombie, swiftly maneuvering side to side, closing in on Xiaoli continually.
Watching the monster drawing closer, Xiaoli’s heart reached his throat, but his gaze grew sharper, his hand steadier.
Closer, closer...
When the monster was only a body’s length away, its claws raised high, Xiaoli didn’t hesitate, swiftly aimed and shot!
"Slash!"
Beyond seven steps, the gun is fast, within seven steps, the gun is both fast and accurate!
As expected, the bullet hit the monster’s chest accurately.
For any creature, crucial organs are located in the chest, a single shot, if not fatal, would leave it half-dead.
Xiaoli had a good plan, but before he could relax, he heard the bullet embedding in the monster, lacking the sound of piercing flesh, instead more akin to a tetanus needle lodged into aged elm.
Despite the bullet’s powerful momentum pushing the monster back a few steps, Xiaoli could see clearly, the monster showed no real reaction, as if it wasn’t affected.
"What the hell! What kind of wicked thing is this!"
Xiaoli was thoroughly panicked now, understanding the potency of the shot more than an average person.
The monster dodged a bullet, being astonishing enough, but now the bullet hit it directly and it seemed unhurt?
Even though police handguns are weaker than, say, a Desert Eagle, flesh and blood should not withstand this!
Even a thick-skinned wild boar, shot in the chest, may not die but should lose combat ability and lie groaning.
Yet now, shot in the chest, it remained utterly unaffected!
Taking advantage of Xiaoli’s distraction, Quan Xiaobai formed a hand seal, manipulating the zombie to strike its iron hand fiercely towards the back of his neck.
"Boom!"
Xiaoli felt his neck hit as if by an iron rod, his vision went dark, body limp, collapsing straight down.
Just then, substantial commotion arose from the distant woods.
"Gunshots? Quick, quick, quick, I’m going in first!"
"Speedy assistance, speedy assistance!"
Bright lights began piercing the forests, numerous figures moved about, supported by fully equipped police dogs.
Quan Xiaobai withdrew his gaze, glancing at the policemen on the ground, his eyes frosty, yet ultimately suppressing his murderous intent, picking up the gun, then manipulating the zombie, disappearing into the boundless darkness.
Soon, news from the scene reached the district’s temporary command post.
"What are you saying?"
"You, hundreds of men, let two suspects escape? And two officers injured, losing a service weapon?"
"Are you pigs! Even if you’re pigs, hundreds should block them off, right?"
"A handgun, three bullets! Do you understand the severity of this consequence?"
At the temporary command post, Pixian County’s police chief’s face reddened with anger, repeatedly slamming the table, voice filled with indignant fury.
The numerous leaders beside him were equally shocked, their expressions turning grim.
If not for timely reinforcements, given the suspects’ murderous methods, it might not be as simple as two officers injured and losing a gun.
Damn it!
If there were gun losses and two officers brutally killed, for these people, their political careers would effectively end here.
The atmosphere on-site immediately grew heavy, the Pixian County police chief recollected himself, eyes red: "Catch! We absolutely must capture them!!!"
Catch?
Those present exchanged glances, silent.
Now it was no longer a matter of catching but whether it could be done without harm!
After all, according to one injured officer’s account, one suspect could withstand firearms, unaffected by gunshots.
Regardless of whether this is true, it’s enough to terrify everyone present.
Indeed, if they steeled themselves, capturing them, even alive, was feasible.
But the potential casualties would be significant, among everyone present, none could bear such consequences.
Even combining all their hats together couldn’t offset these potential repercussions.
As for capturing the suspects, the Pixian County police chief was naturally in the lead, and others naturally avoided echoing his sentiment.
They were all seasoned officials, no fool would speak now, inviting disaster upon themselves.
"No one speaks, huh, not a word!"
The Pixian County police chief laughed dryly out of anger, clearly understanding these people’s thoughts. Just as he was about to unleash an outburst, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
Soon after, a middle-aged man appeared at the door, reporting with urgency: "Leaders, the province has sent more people."
"More people?!"
Everyone present’s face changed, thinking the province appointing Wang Ting as supervisor was the limit, yet unexpectedly more personnel were being sent now.
Truly treating Pixian’s leadership like useless eaters?
Twice having provincial dispatch within a day suggested considerable importance!
In doubt, everyone stood, heading to the entrance to greet the arrivals.
They were also curious about whom the province would send this time.
Just arriving at the entrance, a hearty laugh was heard: "Dedication huh, why keep a stern face, just smile."
"Lin Nanbei! I warn you, you keep touching me, I’ll kill you!"
