Chu Yang, along with Yang Yan and others, jumped down from the large crater and fled downstairs, with the merfolk closely following and surrounding them again!
Chu Yang and the others slowed down, and a figure suddenly blocked their path.
The person was dressed in a black raincoat, and his silhouette made Chu Yang feel extremely familiar—was this the same merman that had chased him at the school?
Chu Yang recognized him with just one glance, "It's you!"
It was raining heavily outside, and Li Yuan stood in front of the door, with the raven flying over at this moment.
"A friendly reminder, make it quick, they're about to lose their grip over there."
"Got it."
Hearing the raven's words, Li Yuan threw back the hood of his raincoat and charged out, and the merfolk also launched an attack on Chu Yang at this moment!
Chu Yang took a deep breath, unexpectedly, Yang Yan suddenly grabbed him.
"Chu Yang, can you still go on?"
Chu Yang was already covered in wounds, surviving this long against the onslaught of the merfolk army was nothing short of a miracle.
"I should... be fine!"
If it came down to it, he still had two 'Breaths of the Deep Sea' obtained in the game, which could at least heal himself twice!
With that, Chu Yang forcefully charged out with a stomp!
He swiftly appeared in front of Li Yuan, about to throw a punch, but Li Yuan countered with a knee strike to his chest!
Simultaneously, two merfolk charged from both sides, slicing open his abdomen with their claws!
Thud!
Chu Yang's eyes widened as Li Yuan attacked again, grabbing Chu Yang's head and violently smashing it into the ground!
Boom!
Once!
Smash again!
Boom!
Twice!
Boom!
Thrice!
As Li Yuan repeatedly smashed Chu Yang's head into the ground, the floor cracked, blood flew everywhere, and Chu Yang was absolutely overpowered by Li Yuan.
Not long after, Chu Yang ceased to move.
Looking at Chu Yang, who was down and not getting up, Li Yuan tossed his body into the air, then with his claws outstretched, he pierced straight through his chest!
With a piercing sound, the claws penetrated the heart. Feeling it was not enough, Li Yuan twisted his wrist, shredding his heart and viscera into pieces with his claws, and tossed them aside.
Blood flowed down his claws.
Turning to the only survivors, Yang Yan and the unconscious policeman, the merfolk swarmed up and quickly killed the two.
"Mission over."
Bang!
Just then, a gunshot sounded, and a bullet suddenly came from behind!
Li Yuan turned his head, and the bullet grazed his face, scales exploded, leaving a deep bullet scar on his face.
But in the blink of an eye, the flesh on his face congregated together, and the wounded area healed immediately.
Click, click, click!
At that moment, several bright lights burst out behind Li Yuan!
He slowly turned his head, only to see countless policemen surrounding the area, with several lights illuminating the darkness!
"Nobody move inside, hands on your head, drop your weapons!"
Li Yuan frowned, noticing Yang Yan's corpse was tightly clutching a locator in his hand.
Trouble.
Li Yuan wanted to leave quickly, but as soon as he moved, several bullets hit his legs and arms!
Bang, bang, bang!
Blood exploded, and Li Yuan immediately fell to his knees!
"Damn it, destroy this place!"
"Woo ah∽!"
Li Yuan opened his mouth and emitted a strange wave of sound!
That whale-like mournful sound gave everyone a jolt.
"Quick, fire and kill...!"
Boom!!
With a loud noise, part of the second floor collapsed instantaneously, dust rose, rubble fell and piled up, blocking the entrance to Nanyan!
Countless merfolk rushed in and swiftly took Li Yuan away!
"Let's go, find the Queen Bee."
By the time the police outside managed to breach Nanyan, Li Yuan had already disappeared.
"Too late, after all..."
Thus, the seventeen-member police squad that entered Nanyan was completely annihilated.
...
Yet, on the top floor of Nanyan, the Queen Bee was giving Li Yuan a piece of her mind.
"Oh, I must be mad, cooperating with your actions, but what have you done!"
"You've blown my place sky-high, do you have any idea how much it will cost to repair all this!"
"And that woman, regardless of whether she saw our secrets or not, since she was here today, she shouldn't have been allowed to leave alive?!"
"I can't believe you let her escape, and now there's a swarm of police blocking my door!"
"No, I have to make a call!"
Saying so, the Queen Bee dialed a number again, "Hello, a bunch of cops are about to raid my place, hurry up and deal with them!"
"Also, about today's events and all information related to today, I don't want anyone to be able to submit it upwards from you!"
"...Yes, Queen Bee."
A weak male voice came through the phone.
After hanging up, the Queen Bee was in a foul mood.
A group of merfolk were picking bullets out of Li Yuan's body, he clenched his teeth, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
Li Yuan said, "I have confirmed all targets are dead, my mission is completed."
"Cleanup should be your job."
"My job?"
"You turn my place into a seafood market, and you've punched big holes on the second and third floors, am I indebted to you or is it yours!"
Watching the two argue endlessly, the raven, transformed into a girl, sat on the sofa with a face that screamed she wanted to die.
Sigh...
"It's so tiring to be with you guys, hey, there's still one person alive."
"Not dead, who?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan let out a roar, sound waves spreading and covering the entire Nanyan building.
And in his perception, within the collapsed structure, he sensed a living life and the beating of a heart.
Thump.
Thump.
Li Yuan paused, "The heart of a merfolk, the pulse of the ocean, something's off. In my perception, the one who survived should be one of my merfolk, but it seems slightly different..."
"Like, a half-merman?"
"Who knows."
The raven girl stood up, then picked up a nearby phone to dial a number.
"Anyway, that person definitely isn't your merman, he's already been taken away by the police. You better think of a way to rectify this."
"You mean?"
"003?"
...
On the street, it was raining.
Wang Haonan was walking under an umbrella when suddenly, someone called his phone.
"Hello?"
"...Cleanup work?"
"Understood."
"Alright, got it."
After speaking, Wang Haonan hung up the phone and continued walking forward.
As he walked, Wang Haonan suddenly disappeared from the spot.
But strangely, in the rain, there was an area where the rainwater continuously slid off in an umbrella shape.
...
