Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats at this sight.
Some had already turned their heads away, unwilling to witness the bloody scene that was about to unfold.
Ren Songfei's eyes were bloodshot with shame. "Senior brother, I have wronged you!"
They all knew that with this bite, not only would the life of Old Man Duankou be lost, but so would their hope.
"It's over, my life is forfeit!"
Old Man Duankou's eyes were filled with unwillingness, but he was powerless.
However, at the critical moment, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from nowhere and sent the monster flying.
Old Man Duankou felt a gust of wind brush past his face, and then he saw the back of a young man appear before him. The monster had already been sent flying ten meters away.
"It's Brother Chen!"
Luo Xi exclaimed excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"This kid, he's finally here..."
Song Zijian let out a heavy sigh of relief. With Chen Xiao's arrival, the casualties would stop spreading. He believed Chen Xiao had the ability to do so.
"This kid single-handedly killed Mr. Huang of the Huang Gate. Perhaps he really has a chance..."
Ren Songfei's eyes lit up upon seeing Chen Xiao, but he dared not hold out too much hope.
After all, his senior brother, who was like an invincible being in his heart, had no power to fight back against that monster.
"Young man, you must be careful. This monster is indiscriminate and difficult to deal with!"
Old Man Duankou warned him. Although he didn't know Chen Xiao, he knew Chen Xiao was not weak just from the force of his impact.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Chen Xiao responded calmly, without turning his head, his gaze locked onto the monster.
The monster seemed not to have completely lost its sanity. When it saw Chen Xiao, it actually hesitated.
It was as if it also sensed that Chen Xiao was not to be trifled with.
It had never experienced this when facing others.
However, although it retained a trace of reason, it was clearly not much. After a few seconds of hesitation, it opened its mouth wide and charged at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao stood his ground, neither dodging nor evading, not even moving an inch.
"What does this kid mean? Why isn't he even dodging?"
"Is he scared stiff?"
"Be careful, Brother Chen!"
"Young man, don't be overconfident. This guy's body is as tough as a truck. You need to outsmart him!"
A cacophony of voices erupted, but Chen Xiao acted as if he hadn't heard them, remaining still.
Only when the monster reached him did he slowly throw a punch.
Although his punch was slow, it was perfectly timed.
It was as if it had been precisely calculated. When the monster rushed to Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's punch landed.
It felt as if the monster had run headfirst into Chen Xiao's fist.
*Bang*—
In an instant, the monster's head exploded like an overripe watermelon.
With its head shattered, the monster convulsed a few times on the ground before becoming completely still.
Silence fell upon the surroundings. Everyone was stunned by Chen Xiao's punch.
If it weren't for the gentle evening breeze, they would have thought it was all a dream.
Chen Xiao's punch was too simple!
Luo Xi cheered, "I knew it, I knew that once Brother Chen arrived, all troubles could be solved!"
Ren Songfei, however, broke out in a cold sweat, feeling immensely fortunate. "It seems not confronting him yesterday was a wise choice."
After dealing with the monster, Chen Xiao slowly walked towards them and asked, "What is this thing, and where did it come from?"
Chen Xiao's casual demeanor only added to his heroic aura. Everyone looked at him with admiration.
Upon hearing his question, someone immediately explained, "We don't know what's going on. This person was fine an hour ago, playing soccer on the field. But somehow, he suddenly went mad."
Ren Songfei asked Old Man Duankou, "Senior brother, you are knowledgeable. Do you know what this thing is?"
Old Man Duankou said, "He's probably not a zombie. He's more like a Western vampire, but I've never encountered a Western vampire, so I'm not entirely sure..."
Old Man Duankou's words were as good as saying nothing. Just then, someone ran anxiously towards Ren Songfei.
"Bad news, Director Ren. Something else has happened. Half an hour ago, the constables received a report that a cattle farm on the outskirts of the city was attacked by a monster. The constables have already rushed to the scene. According to their description, it seems to be the same kind of creature as the one on the field..."
The person said, panting.
Ren Songfei made a decisive call, "Send the injured team members to the hospital first. Everyone else, follow me immediately!"
As he spoke, he looked tentatively at Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen..."
Before he could finish, Chen Xiao said, "I'll go with you. I also want to see where this monster came from?"
The two consecutive monster incidents were clearly not coincidental. Chen Xiao wanted to investigate.
Everyone set off immediately for the cattle farm on the outskirts of the city.
When they arrived, they found that the constables had already engaged the monster.
To be precise, the constables were firing wildly into the cattle shed. The bullets were being fired as if they were free.
Ren Songfei first called over the constable in charge, showed his badge, and asked, "What's the situation here?"
Upon seeing Ren Songfei's identification, the man immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, leader. There's a monster in this shed, and we don't know what it is. The farm owner discovered it about two hours ago. When he found it, it was sucking the blood from the neck of a bull. The scene was extremely bloody. We could only suppress it with firepower, but that guy's skin is thick, and bullets can't kill him. We need further instructions from you to capture him."
Ren Songfei frowned. "Since you know bullets can't kill him, why did you keep firing?"
"Uh, this..."
The person in charge was dumbfounded and speechless.
Frankly, he hadn't even considered that question. His mind was only focused on suppressing the monster with firepower and preventing it from escaping and harming people.
Ren Songfei said angrily, "Stop firing immediately!"
The person in charge immediately ordered his subordinates to cease fire.
Afterward, Ren Songfei told them to return and warned them not to speak carelessly, emphasizing that the matter here must not be leaked.
The person in charge nodded understandingly, "Yes, leader. It's a case for your Demon-Quelling Division, I understand, I understand..."
After the constables left, Chen Xiao said slowly, "I'll go into the shed first to check the situation. This monster seems different from the previous one..."
