South City No.2 Middle School?
Su Han and Zhu Xiong exchanged glances. Wasn't that the gathering point Zhu Xiong had initially suggested?
Back then, due to their lack of strength and resources, they were worried that the surviving students would be a burden, which was why they hadn't taken over. But now, there were actual Eye Beasts active in that area.
"Are you saying that the Eye Beasts took captives in the direction of South City No.2 Middle School?"
Guo Du immediately nodded. He said, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. Since it took people towards that direction, its den must be over there. We should not have pursued them."
Regret flashed across his face. If not for his greed, if he hadn't rashly given chase, perhaps they wouldn't have suffered the losses they did now.
"Guo Gang, get the first aid kit and treat his wounds."
Suddenly, Su Han gave the order. Guo Du looked at him in surprise and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, thank you so much."
"Get in the car," Su Han was not rescuing them for nothing. He calmly stated, "Then guide us there."
Guo Du's expression changed, "Wait, wait a moment, that place... there are more than just those monsters there. I heard many more sounds..."
"I said guide us, understand?"
Su Han spoke every word clearly, causing Guo Du to shudder and dare not say another word: "...I... I understand."
Su Han wasn't asking but commanding—a command beyond question.
Even if Su Han and the others might know the way, they had to follow him.
After quickly treating the wounds, everyone got into the vehicles. Four people spread across three cars, with Zhao Qian and another squad member in the last car.
Su Han's face revealed contemplation while Zhu Xiong drove beside him. He said, "Be cautious later on; we might be dealing with Second Order monsters."
Zhu Xiong nodded heavily, responding, "I know."
The Eye Beast that took away so many survivors from Nanshan Residential District certainly captured more than just these few.
The current Eye Beast had already a First Order Upper Grade and a First-level Intermediate strength. Even if there were weaker Eye Beasts, their numbers were likely not few.
The one capable of ordering these monsters around had to be a more powerful being, namely the Second Order.
If we are talking about distance alone, South City No.2 Middle School was some distance away from Shanhu Villa, and they didn't have to consider it for the time being.
However, since the Eye Beasts' range of activity had reached this area, rather than letting them slowly discover Shanhu Villa District, it was better to strike first and see what the situation was like.
On their side, Su Han had two Second-order Superior Angel Envoys, Zhu Xiong had a Second Order Low Grade Glutton, Bai Qilan had a Second Order Low Grade Demon Eye Spider Woman. At the very least, even escaping wouldn't be a problem for them.
So, they could take a chance to probe the situation.
The vehicles approached the direction of South City No.2 Middle School. The fog still shrouded the surroundings, but this time, the Ancient Worm Tree did not withdraw; it remained in its Anthropomorphic State. Tree-born Worms followed underground.
Its Radiance of the Lamp Tree illuminated the surroundings, guarding the convoy like a lighthouse.
Scorpion Spider Demon, Demon Eye Spider Woman, Glutton, and Bone Armor Giant Pig did not withdraw, maintaining a steady speed to escort the vehicles on both sides.
About half an hour later, a burning wrecked car suddenly appeared on the mist-covered road, its frame almost burned black.
"This, this is our car."
Guo Du's low voice came through, tinged with sorrow: "It was here that we were suddenly attacked by a stronger Eye Beast."
This place was within the range of Eye Beast activity, just over a thousand meters from South City No.2 Middle School.
As soon as the flash grenades were utilized, and the monsters' engagement briefly eased, they would immediately retreat.
"No need to retreat!"
Suddenly a loud voice came from the end of the street. Guo Wutao looked in astonishment towards the sound to see three off-road vehicles charging their way quickly.
Accompanying the vehicles were several terrifying monsters from the side.
He instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon, but in the next moment, the tallest monster had already charged in front of them, clad in Black Armor, half-spider, half-human, resembling a Demon God.
Wait, are they Su Han?!
Guo Wutao identified the monster, and just then, the Scorpion Spider Demon bent its spider legs and leaped powerfully from the ground, jumping over ten meters, and swept seven or eight Eye Beasts coming from inside the gate with a slash.
The other Angel Envoys moved simultaneously, all charging towards areas swarming with Eye Beasts, be it the main gate or the walls at the verge of being scaled.
Su Han and his group emerged from their cars, and with a sweep of his eyes, he spotted Cheng Zhenyong and smiled.
"Su Han!"
Cheng Zhenyong, of course, noticed the commotion and showed a look of joy on his face.
He shouted out, and Su Han replied, "We'll talk after we catch the monsters."
Seeing the Scorpion Spider Demon enter the battlefield, the monsters grew desperate. A hundred eyes flew open as a surge of scarlet light instantly flared up.
Guo Wutao and Zhao Yaqian saw this and their faces changed instantly. They shouted to Su Han, "Don't look directly at it, the Hundred-Eyed can assault your mind."
"Flash grenades!"
Guo Wutao shouted for the flash grenades, but as they were deploying them, the Demon Eye Spider Woman had already rushed forward before them.
The Demon Eye burst open with a blaze of crimson light.
The Hundred-Eyed Monster stiffened in its motion, losing its edge. The Scorpion Spider Demon stepped forward, grabbing its body with four arms and body slamming it heavily to the ground.
Two scorpion tails, like spears, shot forth, piercing the creature's body and penetrating two of the eyes, blood spurting out.
The monster, enraged, exploded with belated crimson light.
Most of it focused on attacking the Scorpion Spider Demon, but after a brief pause in motion, the Scorpion Spider Demon seemed utterly unharmed.
"Pfft."
The Scorpion Spider Demon's clawed arms extended, stabbing directly into the body of the Hundred-Eyed Monster, and in a moment, the Coagulation Cannon at its mouth gathered.
The massive Coagulation Cannon blasted onto the body of the monster with a deafening boom, injuring half its body and damaging twenty to thirty eyes, which couldn't be repaired in a short time.
Zhao Yaqian was stunned by this sight, not expecting that the mental-shaking scarlet light would have no effect on the Scorpion Spider Demon.
After all, even those not hit directly by it, those who caught a glimpse with their eyes, would feel a sense of dizziness, if only for a fleeting moment.
However, she quickly realized that Su Han's Angel Envoys were far more powerful than the monster.
"Roar!"
Just as the Scorpion Spider Demon was about to fire another Coagulation Cannon, suddenly from inside the school, the uniform roar of Eye Beasts echoed, easily a hundred in number.
Everyone's expression turned to shock, but in the next moment, the snipers assigned to high vantage points at the gate changed color dramatically.
"The Eye Beasts are bringing out the survivors they're controlling."
As the voice fell, the Eye Beasts attacking the gate withdrew, revealing the sight inside: hundreds of Eye Beasts were binding the survivors, threatening them.
