Chapter 262

Under the dull crimson glow of the setting sun, a taxi appeared in Xiao Yaran's sight shakily. Xiao Yaran frowned and quickly gave an order.

“Tell them to turn around and go back.”

“Yes.”

...

“Why are there police cars in the middle of nowhere?”

The taxi stopped. The driver looked around and muttered. Lu Sheng was taking out money when a tall and thin policeman came over.

“What are you doing? Go back quickly. The front is blocked. No one is allowed to enter.”Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

The driver poked his head out of the window and looked at the large group of armed policemen in front of him. He asked curiously, “Officer, what's going on? Are you arresting a wanted criminal?”

“It's not something you should ask...”

The policeman waved his hand impatiently, then pointed at Lu Sheng who had just gotten out of the car and shouted, “Who let you get out? Go back to the car.”

Lu Sheng paid the driver, then took out the mission memorandum and handed it to the policeman. He said calmly, “I'm here for a mission.”

“Mission...”

The policeman took the mission memo and looked at it carefully. He looked Lu Sheng up and down suspiciously.

“You?”

...

“Sniper, keep an eye on it. Can you find out what's going on inside? Give me a report ...” Xiao Yaran was holding the walkie-talkie to coordinate the situation. Although modern firearms were not very lethal to exotic beasts, they were still effective against exotic beasts below Level 7. This was also the reason why all the elites of the Nanping Public Security Department were gathered here.

At this time, the subordinate who had just been arranged to stop the car suddenly came back with a person.

“Deputy Director.”

Xiao Yaran glanced at the taxi that had turned around in the distance and couldn't help but frown. “I asked you to stop the car. Why did you leave him here?”

The subordinate pointed at Lu Sheng behind him and said, “He's a student from the Jingdu's Sage Martial University. He took the mission and came here.”

The policeman next to him was puzzled. Xiao Yaran was famous for her swift and decisive temper. She would explode at the slightest provocation. Even in front of the director, her attitude was cold. But today, for some reason, she was so polite to a college student, even like a subordinate to a superior.

At this time, Lu Sheng's eyes, which were looking in the direction of the unfinished building, suddenly flashed. No one knew whether he was talking to the two or talking to himself.

“Fortunately, it's not a wasted trip.”

The two didn't understand the meaning of Lu Sheng's words, and suddenly there was a loud roar in the unfinished building behind them.

Boom! Boom!

It was like a sledgehammer hitting the concrete floor, and a loud echo came out in the empty space. Xiao Yaran suddenly turned her head, picked up the walkie-talkie in her hand, and quickly gave orders.

“Get ready! All units get ready!”

The roar broke out abruptly and ended quickly. In just a dozen seconds, they saw three figures jump down from the fifth floor of the unfinished building. They were extremely fast, but they couldn't hide their embarrassment when they ran away.

Almost at the same time, the three figures ran out of the unfinished building like fleas, as if something was chasing them behind. Something was indeed chasing them.

A red flesh vine as thick as an adult man's forearm, like an octopus tentacle, suddenly shot out and danced in the air. The slowest figure couldn't dodge in time. When he jumped halfway, his right foot was entangled by the flesh vine and pulled back.

“Ah!!!—”

The ear-piercing screams filled with panic and despair quickly became softer and softer, disappearing from the unfinished building within a few seconds. All the policemen deployed outside the unfinished building were terrified, and they were all stunned. It was a kind of paralysis dominated by a huge unknown fear.

The next second...

“Fire!”

Xiao Yaran almost roared at the walkie-talkie.

Da da da —

Intensive gunshots rang out in the open field, and the bullets cut through the air. Some cement dust burst out of the unfinished building in the distance from time to time, very much like the gunfight scenes in TV and movies.

The only difference was ... There was no counterattack from the building, only a few strange and terrifying roars came out from time to time.

Lu Sheng stood quietly in place and watched. With his detection through his spiritual power, he knew the situation in the unfinished building better than anyone else.

It wasn’t that Lu Sheng didn’t want to make a move. It was that sometimes, in the time it took to think, things would’ve already played out. It was unnecessary and meaningless to make a move again. The gunshots continued until the remaining two figures ran back safely from the unfinished building.
