Chapter 179: Chapter 14 Xu Shu’s Sweet Home (First Update, 6K Words, Subscription Request)_4

So, Xu Shu called out to his younger sister Zhou Shiyu, indicating his willingness to cooperate with the officers to go downstairs.

At this time, over at room 404, the police knocked on the door but there was no response.

"Bang, bang, bang! Is anyone there?" The young police officer knocked hard, making the door bang loudly.

"Something’s up, be careful."

"We are from the Judgment Bureau, we now suspect that your home is harboring a criminal, we will count to three, open the door immediately!"

Zhao Qu glanced at the shoes on their shoe cabinet, several officers actually drew their guns from behind their waists, and surrounded room 404’s doorway in a threatening manner.

"?"

Xu Shu’s eyelid twitched, he quickly grabbed his sister and prepared to head downstairs.

At this moment, Zhao Qu pulled out the only communication tool of the apocalypse—the walkie-talkie—and said to another officer, "You! Immediately notify the other brothers and the captain, this is building 83—Boom!"

A huge explosion interrupted him.

The iron door instantly shattered into pieces and flew out; Zhao Qu bore the brunt, his body was cut in half at the waist, sliding down slowly, leaving behind only a desperate and frightened cry, "No...run...fast..."

He died instantly, his blood spurting onto the ceiling!

The other three officers also didn’t even have the chance to fire their guns, one had half his head taken off by the flying door.

The other two were grabbed by tentacle-like limbs shooting out from inside the room, their hearts directly crushed; they fell to the ground howling in agony!

In just the blink of an eye, all four officers here were brutally slaughtered.

"Why... must you disturb us..."

"It’s unfair, so unfair..."

"Mommy, it hurts so much..."

"I want more, much more..."

From room 404, there came a terrorizing roar that sounded like an electronic echo; the whole room seemed affected, the light flickering on and off, sinister and eerie.

Through the dim light, one could see a grotesque creature made from the naked bodies of humans melded together, skin fused with skin, limbs flailing wildly.

Their skin appeared to be stretched and torn like playdough, hanging off, while two heads viciously devoured hearts they’d caught.

Xu Shu’s pupils suddenly constricted; he saw someone inside who he had just met a few days ago, the lady tenant of room 404.

Not long ago, she was still normal!

"...Unclean? Or some sort of monster that mutated directly? Why would something like this be in the safe zone? What about the Star Tower? What happened to it? Couldn’t it detect this?"

The monster, with its seven or eight heads chaotically sprouting from left and right, suddenly turned to look at Xu Shu and Zhou Shiyu. With limbs working in unison, it thumped over like a gigantic human centipede, all mouths simultaneously emitting a blood-curdling and piercing cry of melting flesh:

"Hehe..."

"Join us..."

"The Divine Chosen will bless you..."

"Join us! Join us!! Join us!!!"

"Ahh!" Zhou Shiyu had never seen such a horrifying scene with her own eyes; she gasped for air and her legs went weak. Just moments before she had wanted to protect her brother like a fierce little eagle, but now she could barely stand.

At this time, Xu Shu had no time to wonder why such a thing would appear in the safe zone, nor the time to ponder why the mighty Star Tower hadn’t acted by now when the other party had already taken the lives of four people.

Because the creature was already approaching like a dragon boat, using arms and legs alike.

It carried an extremely strong sense of oppression; to Xu Shu, it didn’t seem much less menacing than the Chang Tree Demon in the ruins.

"Tch. External forces are indeed unreliable!"

Xu Shu curled his lips, picked up his sister, and shielded her behind him like an eagle snatching a chick, fully focused on the inhuman thing with seven arms and eight legs, and he coldly commanded, "Close your eyes."

"Ah?" Zhou Shiyu screamed, and in the next second, she saw her brother’s back skin being torn, and she was completely stunned.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Massive obsidian-like bone spears, bursting from Xu Shu’s back, flashing cold light, arrayed in two rows, shot left and right, aiming for the adversary’s many heads.

At the same time, Xu Shu bent forward, each step he took upon the earth was like a heavy beast plunging, the thunderous footsteps shaking the entire building.

Eight Spider Spears! Kua Fu Chasing the Sun!

This sudden encounter, the foe was formidable, their abrupt appearance gave Xu Shu a strong sense of crisis.

Thus, from the outset, he gave it his all, without any testing or holding back.

Now was not the daytime, nor was it during an expedition; to die once meant complete annihilation!

"Boom"

The monster, hardly grasping what was happening, faced eight sharp spider spears that had already pierced its body.

"Ow..." It cried in pain while preparing to fling its tentacle, which was munching on a human heart.

But it was a step too slow, struck by Xu Shu’s heavy uppercut, its body of over a thousand pounds wobbled as it was thrown aloft.

Kua Fu Chasing the Sun, with the build-up of thunderous momentum, this punch was "Mountain Capturing"!

"Gu? You’re a super..." The monster was sent soaring high.

However, Xu Shu, relentless, didn’t give it the chance to speak, immediately swinging both fists left and right.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

This barrage of punches sent the monster’s limbs flying in all directions, hurtling it across the room, smashing into the corner.

"So meaty?" Xu Shu narrowed his eyes after going all-out for so long, sensing something very wrong.

This thing was no ordinary First-tier Monster!

Its physical defensive power was evidently much stronger than the previous "Nagoul’s little demon" state.

"Delicious human..."

"Join us..."

"I—"

The monster, having lost many limbs, was scrambling to get up.

Xu Shu, too, was in full alert, the monster’s origins unknown to him, proving far stronger than he imagined.

In terms of physical strength, it seemed only slightly inferior to his Warrior form, almost forcing him to adopt the defensive stance of Jingwei.

"Could it be, Second Rank?" Xu Shu dared not dwell on the thought, fearing it would affect his combat will.

Just then, a flash of electricity lit up from the zenith, piercing through layers of heaven, shattering the boundless darkness, arriving directly at the scene.

"?!" The monster suddenly attempted to turn its head.

But with a crackling sound, the electric light appeared before it, briefly illuminating the view.

After such a long wait, the Star Tower finally arrived late, unleashing an ordinary attack!

Boom—Charge!

A brief explosion—intense light made Xu Shu cover his eyes.

When he looked again, the monster had disappeared, with only some charred ashes falling in the corner.

On the ground lay a purple crystal.

This monster, an abrupt arrival, departed even more abruptly.

It was dead.
