Chapter 497: Chapter 173: I’m Right Here

As Li Changhe and his group were approaching the western border of the north shore.

On the south side of the north shore, on a certain street, intense gunfire erupted.

Chen Yu hurriedly walked past, pulling a woman and several civilians from behind overturned vehicles.

"Almost there, just a little bit more to get out! Hurry up!" She whispered urgently, somewhat anxious.

The next second, the gunfire stopped, mixed with a few muffled groans and roars.

"She’s here!"

Chen Yu’s expression changed, and she quickly rolled to the side while pulling the middle-aged woman.

’Whoosh’, almost simultaneously, the overturned vehicle beside them was cut in half, and several civilians nearby were flipped over.

A red figure appeared in front of Chen Yu.

From the figure, it could be inferred that it was a woman, wearing a red hooded cape. Beneath the hood, her fanatical eyes could be seen, along with a mask depicting sharp, terrifying teeth.

Blood droplets fell from the red cape.

It was the blood of the special squad members who had tried to stop her!

"Beast!"

Seeing her teammates’ unknown fates, Chen Yu’s eyes turned red. She quickly stood up and used the [Soul Code] on the red figure to try to interfere with its movements while quickly picking up a submachine gun.

As a main energy [Player] and a member of the Strategy Group, Chen Yu’s combat ability was indeed not strong.

But that was only relative. She was proficient in firearms and had killed many criminals.

She had also systematically studied close combat, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Despite her small stature, she could easily throw an average strong man.

However, the red figure hardly paused at all. With just a lift of her scythe, Chen Yu felt an intense, heart-wrenching pain in her left arm, and the submachine gun in her hand was cut in two.

If not for Chen Yu also hearing the horn, what might have been cut off would have been more than just the submachine gun.

But that was all... This person intended to cut off the legs of everyone who heard the horn. In that case, they would not be able to evacuate.

Just as the red figure was about to strike, an old but angry voice came from behind: "Bastard, do you think I don’t exist!"

It was the old man who once claimed that he could handily take on Li Changhe. Holding a steel rod from somewhere and a bowl-sized chunk of concrete at its end, he swung it with all his might at the red figure’s head.

He wasn’t lying, he was indeed an old soldier and had been on the battlefield. It was during the Vietnam counterattack war!

Watching the special squad members and Chen Yu struggle, the old man was filled with rage.

The focus of his anger wasn’t on Chen Yu and the others, but towards himself.

He stubbornly thought that he was not old and could still go to the battlefield.

But now, with danger present, he could only follow behind a girl...

For an old soldier, this was the greatest sorrow!

Perhaps due to extreme anger, the old man managed to swing the rod, which weighed over 20 kilograms.

But the red figure merely glanced back at him, and with a flash of cold light, severed the steel rod in the old man’s hands.

The red figure had not been stopped by the attacks of multiple special squad members, so an old, frail soldier would naturally not be able to stop her either.

But... the old man had bought them that crucial moment.

Because just at that moment... the surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted!

The red figure gave up on attacking the old man and retreated tens of meters instantly. She felt an even stronger hostility!

A figure wearing a black trench coat appeared where she had just been standing. The surrounding air turned icy cold, and people’s breaths formed white fog as they trembled.

"I’m sorry, I’m late."

...

On the other hand, Liu Tao, who was carrying a girl, suddenly heard a voice from the radio.

"This is Zhang Yi from the Sixth Squad. If any nearby teams receive this, please respond!"

"I’m Liu Tao from the Nineteenth Squad." Liu Tao quickly replied, "Report your exact location and situation!"

"Location: Furniture City! Three civilians injured, I can’t evacuate them alone, request assistance!"

"Received, hold on for a moment."

"How far is Furniture City from here?" Liu Tao looked at Li Changhe.

"About a hundred meters, very close. It’s on the way." Li Changhe replied, then asked, "Why can we suddenly contact them?"

"It might be due to distance. The Abnormality’s interference ability is not perfect." Liu Tao quickly said, "There are three injured people on their side. We can carry them away."

"But... our speed will be even slower." Another student said, "Can we carry three injured people? I don’t have much strength."

He was worried about being a burden to others.

At this moment, Liu Tao was carrying a girl, Li Changhe was pulling Old Zhao, and only he and one other special squad member were able to move normally.

Plus, there was Zhang Yi, the person asking for help. Altogether, three of them had to carry injured people, and their speed would be greatly hindered.

"Furniture City, my friend, we don’t necessarily have to carry them." Li Changhe naturally saw his concerns and said, "We might be able to find some shopping carts in Furniture City. That would be much faster than what we’re doing right now. If we could find a multi-person bike, our speed would be even faster."

Liu Tao and the others didn’t understand why Li Changhe mentioned bicycles, but Old Zhao’s face twitched.

He shared a desk with Li Changhe and naturally knew about Li’s Riding skills.

If they really found a multi-person bicycle, with Li’s ability to chase after a car at that speed on it...

"I’d rather be put in a shopping cart. It’s terrifying." Old Zhao thought to himself.

"Let’s go! Take them with us, and we’ll leave immediately." The group turned a corner in the alley and ran towards Furniture City.

Soon, everyone saw the pitch-black Furniture City.

"Zhang Yi, this is Liu Tao of the Nineteenth Squad. We have arrived. Where are you?" Liu Tao called for the other party while pushing open the doors of Furniture City.

Upon entering Furniture City, everyone’s faces changed.

Blood! The pitch-black Furniture City was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Liu Tao put the girl he was carrying down and told Li Changhe and the others to wait at the entrance.

He exchanged glances with his teammates before raising their firearms. They sensed something was wrong, as the smell of blood was not something that could be caused by ordinary injuries—it was more like a major artery had been severed.

"Zhang Yi, where are you? Where are the three injured people you mentioned?" Liu Tao lowered his tactical helmet, activated the night vision goggles, and cautiously approached.

He saw no living beings but numerous mannequins placed around the room.

However, he could faintly feel that something was in the room.

At that moment, the Iron Plate Model nearest to Liu Tao suddenly turned around, its cold eyes looking at him.

A gaping hole was in its chest, in which a bloody heart was slowly beating.

A chilling voice came from the heart: "I’m right here!"
