Chapter 77
(Unedited)
…
Swish!!!
The sound of something sharp flying in the air suddenly appears from behind me. I did not know where it came from but I knew that it coming from my head.
I bend my head to the side as a sharp dagger flew past me by a hair's breadth.
Because I dodge the dagger, it instead hit the person in front of me.
The blade embedded itself on the head of that guard.
I slowly turn around and saw around seven men of different heights and sizes. They look like a bunch of thugs from a mad max movie. Though their costume looks funny, yet their strength is not something that one could scuff at.
From the way they stealthily appear behind me, I could tell that these people are strong Hunters.
"Look what we have here…" a short man with long unkempt hair said.
He is wearing a leather vest with knives plastered on his body. When I saw the knives on him, I feel like taking them for myself. I also have some small knives on me, but those are something I made from the knives I took from those soldiers.
They look rough and ugly, while the one that this person is using looks elegant and beautiful.
"The boss is right; the enemy has already infiltrated the club… What are we waiting for? Let's kill him now!"
"Wait… I want to know if this guy is for real… I mean it is seldom to encounter someone who is strong…" the long-haired man said.
He suddenly grabs two knives from his body and then with a wide grin on his face, he looks at me.
"I'm going to carve something on your chest. Be ready young one…" he said as he suddenly jumps towards me.
His movement…
Is slow…
I was a bit hopeful, but this person may move fast according to ordinary perception, but for me, he is as slow as a turtle.
As he swings his blade, his grinning face came closer. It thoroughly annoys me, so I decided to take out that ugly grin of his.
Swoosh!!!
Wham!
I dodge my head out of his blade's path, and at the same time, my left hand threw a jab on his exposed face.
As my hand came in contact with his face, I could feel my fist breaking something.
The man staggered but did not fall.
Then he spat a mouthful of blood along with a few of his teeth.
"Shwit! Dhamn yhou!" he said with air escaping from his mouth.
He once again pounces in my direction. But this time, he first threw three blades simultaneously.
The blades flew like a buzzsaw in the air making a whistling sound.
I extended one of my hands and catch one of the blades by its hilt. Then I extended my other hand and catch the next one and the next.
All the three blades landed on my hand before the man could even land on the ground while pouncing on me.
Without hesitation, I grab one of the blades and then did a Wushu-style cutting technique.
Swish! Swoosh! Swish!
The sound of my blade cutting through the air at a breaking speed made me feel like I was carving something on a wooden block in a cool manner.
When I stopped, I am already standing behind the long-haired man. On my hand is his vest which contains all of his beautifully crafted knives.
I carefully put it on as I feel contented.
"These things are awesome…" I muttered while admiring the blades.
"Damn it! Let's attack this guy now!" shouted one of the men who were stunned a while ago.
With that shout, the rest immediately pounces at me while wielding their weapons.
Spiked bats, machetes, barbed pipes, and knives, those things began to attack in my direction. Not only that, there are electric bolts, fiery fists, energy beams, and laser-like blades. Those are the things that suddenly attacked me.
I began to fight back while dodging the enemy attacks. I would not want to show them that I am impervious to their attacks as that is my trump card. If they did not know that I could not be hurt by them, they would lower their guards and try to harm me head-on.
And so our fight began and ended with them all lying on the ground while moaning in pain. They are not dead yet, but their painful moans could stop the others from disturbing me from my target.
Bang! Bratatat!
However, it seems that my wishful thinking is a bit naïve. This is because gunshots began to echo from outside the kitchen.
The staff has already run away and it seems that the people dancing outside have also left. I could hear people shouting in fear from the dancing hall.
As bullets began to rain inside the kitchen I decided to open the secret door, but it would not budge.
"It seems that she prepared a lot for this," I muttered to myself.
She is very cautious and seems to be really afraid of something. Well, I could not blame her. With the changes happening all over the world, a weak and normal girl would have to rely on her wits to survive. As far as the data is concerned, Yu Mantao is not of those super-powered humans.
I turn around and saw the people from outside slowly rushing towards the kitchen while raining bullets on it.
Tsss!...
That hissing sound seems to have given me a dangerous vibe. So when I turn around, I saw that one of the bullets seems to have hit a gas hose.
"Damn it…" I cursed as I quickly look around.
From where I stand, I saw something on the wall.
It's an ax.
I quickly grab it and with one powerful swing, I hit the corner of the metal door which is made of thick cement.
A smile crept on my face after that.
Boom!!!
…
A loud explosion reverberated through the whole kitchen as a flame of fire suddenly enveloped everything inside of it.
The thugs shooting outside were all taken aback as they were thrown on the ground due to the shock wave. Everyone found themselves disoriented as they were taken by surprise due to the explosion.
They were all caught off guard by the powerful blast which shook the entire building.
The people from the other floors of the building began running towards the first floor with weapons on hand.
Meanwhile, those outside has also rushed inside.
What they saw made everyone felt in panic. This is because the whole ground floor and the second floor of the building are on fire.
Thick smoke began to cover everything inside and visibility is low.
"Everyone, get out!" shouted one of the Hunters while looking at the scene in front of them.
The growing fire made everyone feel a little panicky.
"Cough! Cough! Does anyone have water power?" shouted a person.
But no one answered.
"Damn it! Let's escape! Cough! Cough!"
The crowd of people was in a panic as they tried to leave the building while coughing their lungs out.
The whole situation immediately turned dangerous as the fire began to grow. No one dares stay on the first floor as everything is slowly being burned to ash by the intense flame.
Unknown to them, on the side, a figure is standing while watching this commotion. After everyone was able to run outside, that figure suddenly walks towards the side of the metal door. Then using all his might, he began hacking the cement on the side of the metal door.
After making some holes on the sides, he began threw the ax and put his hand on one of the holes. With all of his might, he began to exert his strength.
…
Constitution: 6/30%
Constitution: 5/70%
Constitution: 4/30%
My constitution slowly went down by the minute as the percentage is being consumed while my whole body is being covered with extreme heat and thick smoke. I could not use my Qi to protect my body as I am using it to supplement my strength.
Crack! Crack!
The heavy metal door which looks like a door from a safe began to budge.
Then…
Constitution: 3/20%
At last, I was able to pry the whole door frame from the thick cement wall.
I did not hesitate to grab the vest with knives on the ground as I jumped inside the hole.
Bam!
The heavy metal door covered the hole and I found myself falling down.
It is not that deep, only around 10 meters below ground.
Thud!
I landed on a closed trap door.
As I tried to listen to the sound inside, I heard some rustling sound and the sound of a door opening.
I forcefully pry the trap door open as it began to creak.
After about a minute, it has been fully opened and inside I saw a small room.
As I jump down, I saw many monitoring devices inside that room. Then I noticed from one of the monitors a woman running to a car. I immediately recognize that it was Yu Mantao.
She hops on the car and it quickly speeds out of a tunnel.
"Freaking shit!" I cursed in dejection as I kick open the door to the tunnel.
