Chapter 2

The black fur resembled steel needles, and a pair of wild, narrow eyes with a cold gleam were hidden within. The wide mouth revealed protruding fangs, making it look particularly ferocious.

Between the interlocking fangs, droplets of saliva slowly dripped.

The wolf's head moved freely.

So...

This wasn't a mask!

The monster with a wolf's head and a human body straightened up. It was about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a simple animal skin that covered its indecent parts but couldn't hide the visibly strong muscles.

Just standing there, it exuded a pure sense of power.

It stood at the crack in the bus, looking around the entire compartment, making a "hehe" sound, its throat rapidly rolling, its long tongue excitedly trembling, and its eyes full of greed.

Food!

All fresh food!

The next moment.

"Swish!"

The wolf-headed monster lunged forward, pouncing on an elderly man sitting next to it.

It opened its mouth wide, its sharp teeth biting into the old man's throat. With just one tug, the flesh tore and the neck twisted, the head hanging limply to one side.

The old man was already barely breathing and unable to move, and now he was dead, his limbs convulsing instinctively before completely losing all signs of life.

The monster's throat rolled, its face excited, and it devoured the flesh and blood without regard for anyone else, the sound of its chewing and crushing bones making everyone in the bus shudder.

"Ah~!"

The scene before them was terrifying.

The screams pierced the silence. Some people shrank back in fear, others looked terrified, and Zhou Jia, sitting at the back, was pale and at a loss.

The scene was chaotic.

"Driver, driver!"

In a panic, someone instinctively shouted. When they turned to look, their hearts sank.

The driver's position was already covered by branches and withered vines, with only a twisted, blood-covered arm hanging out, likely already dead.

Inside the torn bus, the branches and withered vines that had pierced in from outside were scattered in a disorderly manner, looking particularly ferocious under the stains of blood and flesh.

In just a short moment, nearly half of the dozen or so people on the bus were barely alive, some in a state too gruesome to bear.

This was a car accident!

But,

It wasn't just a car accident.

"Hehe..."

The strange sound continued.

"Ah!"

A female passenger near the front door screamed as she got up from the ground, ignoring her injuries, and staggered toward the crack in the front door.

The closed bus door had loosened in the unknown collision, and with a bit of squeezing, it was enough for one person to get in and out.

She wanted to leave this place, to get away from the monster that ate people.

"Ugh..."

The wolf-headed monster, which was gnawing on the old man's corpse, suddenly turned its head at the sound, its eyes flashing with a cold light. It pressed its hands on the seat in front of it, got down on all fours, and pounced on the woman.

It moved very quickly, and the woman had only taken two steps before being pounced on. The monster's mouth opened, and a gush of blood spurted out.

"Beast!"

Only at this moment did someone come to their senses from the shock.

A middle-aged man nearby shouted, pushing away the branches on top of him, and roared as he charged at the wolf-headed monster, kicking it hard.

The man was nearly 1.8 meters tall, not particularly muscular, but he still had an advantage over the 1.65-meter-tall wolf-headed monster.

Moreover, the monster was busy gnawing on flesh and couldn't dodge in time, getting kicked in the back.

"Thud!"

A dull sound, the wolf-headed monster's body just swayed, but the middle-aged man's face showed pain, his legs twitching as he staggered back.

But his actions clearly angered the wolf-headed monster.

"Ao!"

The monster turned and roared, its eyes sharp, its sharp fangs covered in flesh and blood. It turned and extended its claws, charging at the man.

The speed of the charge was so fast that there was no time to dodge.

This monster not only had a wolf's head but also had limbs similar to a beast.

The middle-aged man's cheap suit offered no resistance to the sharp claws, and a few tugs brought out flesh and bone fragments.

"Ah!"

In pain, the man's blood was stirred, and instead of retreating, he advanced, spreading his arms and fiercely hugging the wolf-headed monster, rolling on the ground.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Help!"

"Help... help..."

The woman, who had been arguing with her aunt moments ago, was now frozen in fear, her words stammering, her hands tightly gripping the handrail.

There were two people in front who wanted to help, but they were badly injured, and even if they managed to get close, it would likely be too late.

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, a gust of wind came from behind.

A tall figure strode forward, coming close and swinging something in his hand, smashing it hard on the wolf-headed monster's head.

"Clang!"

A loud sound, Zhou Jia felt his palm tingle, almost unable to hold the frying pan, and he was pushed back two steps by the recoil.

Looking at the bottom of the pan, it was already dented.

What a hard head!

But his blow had an effect. The wolf-headed monster's eyes blurred, and it stopped tearing at the middle-aged man.

It just shook its head, trying to regain its senses.

"Quick!"

The man's face flushed, and he shouted excitedly:

"Again, take this opportunity to kill it, kill it!"

As he spoke, he used all his strength to hold the wolf-headed monster, preventing it from breaking free.

Zhou Jia steadied himself and moved forward again.

Although he was a liberal arts student, he had never lacked exercise. He was taller than his peers and had a robust build, and in college, he was the basketball team's main player.

He gritted his teeth and aimed the side of the frying pan at the wolf's eye, smashing it hard.

He knew the saying "copper head, iron tail, tofu waist," but at this moment, with the man and the wolf hugging, the wolf's head was the easiest target.

"Plop!"

The wild eye in front of him burst, red and white splattering everywhere, making Zhou Jia pause.

He was just an ordinary person, how could he have seen such a scene?

To be able to act, he had already mustered up all his courage.

"Ao!"

The wolf-headed monster, in pain, raised its head and howled, its body, held by the middle-aged man, struggling wildly, its claws tearing back and forth.

"Quick!"

The man's face flushed, the veins on his neck bulging, and he gritted his teeth, shouting at the dazed Zhou Jia:

"Quick... act!"

"Continue!"

"..."

Zhou Jia's eyes flickered, and he nodded fiercely:

"Okay!"

Before he finished speaking, his body lunged forward, wildly swinging the frying pan, smashing it at the wolf-headed monster with all his might.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched, completely forgetting everything else, just smashing away.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Plop..."

One, two, three...

He didn't know how many times he hit it, but the wolf's head finally became less hard, half of it bloody and mangled, both eyes already burst, like a pile of rotten meat.

The wolf-headed monster,

was dead!

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

"Clang..."

Zhou Jia's hands loosened, and he collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, his face pale with sweat, his right hand trembling uncontrollably.

After a long time, he forced a smile and turned to look at the middle-aged man.

"Big... brother, it's dead!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jia's expression froze.

In the struggle, the middle-aged man's internal organs had been torn and shredded by the sharp claws, and he was now dead.

But even so, he still held the wolf-headed monster tightly, his face twisted in a ferocious grimace.

"..."

Zhou Jia opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Car accident!

Dead people!

Monster!

What had happened in this short moment far exceeded his ability to bear. Even the bodies around him no longer affected him.

Only a sense of confusion lingered in his heart.

Until...

A presence that could be felt but not seen emerged from the wolf-headed monster's corpse and entered his body, bringing him back to his senses.

This...

What is this?
