Chapter 48

The firelight filled the underground tunnel, but even the brightest light could not illuminate all the dark corners.

In the darkness where the overturned subway car had been hit, a pair of dark green eyes suddenly lit up!

What followed was a figure moving at incredible speed emerging from the darkness. Its nearly two-meter-long, lean and powerful arms shot out, and its sharp, blade-like claws pierced straight into a nearby bandit who was crouching to resist the shockwave from the explosion!

Nuya!

"Be careful!"

Ye Yun could not care less about the lives of his fellow players, but if they were killed by a surprise attack at this moment, the panic would plunge the entire group into a deadly situation.

Without hesitation, he fired a shot. The bullet from the +5 Desert Eagle spun through the thick smoke and shot straight at Nuya, hitting its side just as its sharp claws had pierced less than half a centimeter into the target's skin. Instantly, a fine crack and a not-so-deep bullet mark appeared on its hard black shell.

Nuya's body trembled, and the powerful force made it move sideways a few steps, pulling its claws out of the unfortunate bandit.

"Ah!"

The bandit, hearing the gunshot, only then realized the sudden pain was from an attack. Looking up, he was terrified to see a monster just two meters in front of him—what else could it be but Nuya!?

His scream clearly alarmed the others. The group looked over and, as Ye Yun had expected, fell into chaos, retreating in the opposite direction and firing their guns.

But in the rush, their aim was poor. The bandit who had been attacked by Nuya did not die from Nuya's claws but was instantly riddled with bullets by his own teammates.

"Don't panic!"

Ye Yun was furious. He had underestimated Nuya's intimidating effect on the players. He hadn't expected that just its approach would cause such chaos.

"Form a defensive formation, everyone, don't panic!"

Ye Yun shouted loudly, kicking a player who was trying to flee back the way they came. "Don't run! If we get picked off one by one, none of us will survive!"

Under normal circumstances, his words would have been convincing, but in the current chaos, no one was listening.

Seeing Nuya take advantage of the chaos to kill three more people, Ye Yun was enraged. He grabbed a bandit running past him, fired three shots to kill him, and shouted at the shocked group, "Running will only get you killed! Can you run faster than Nuya!? Form a defensive line!"

The sudden deaths of several people finally brought the bandits to their senses. The burning flame-like light in Ye Yun's eyes gave people a rare sense of security. As the current leader, his influence, combined with the special psychological state, made the seven or eight players with higher ranks stop fleeing and kneel in a row to fire their guns.

The bandits, of course, did not have the selfless spirit, but Ye Yun was right. Could they run faster than Nuya? The lower-ranked players, who wanted the higher-ranked players to delay Nuya while they escaped, only needed to think about this question to know what to do.

Thus, over twenty bandits turned around and started firing at Nuya.

The gun barrels spewed flames, and bullets rained down. The space where Nuya was, less than twenty square meters, was immediately forced back by the dense bullets.

Seeing hope, the bandits became even more calm. Mei Fei quickly divided the group into three teams and shouted, "Team One and Team Two, staggered shooting! Team Three, reload!"

The group followed the commands in an orderly manner, and Nuya was even more helpless. Its back was against the first subway car, which had been hit and twisted into an L-shape, its right side was the second subway car that had overturned and was burning on the tracks, and its left side was the curved wall of the load-bearing area. In this corner, Nuya could either charge out or stay in the darkness and be shot to pieces.

Seeing Nuya hiding in the corner and roaring, the bandits' confidence grew. The first team involuntarily stood up and approached, their gunfire becoming more concentrated.

This method of advancing in teams while firing was known to anyone with a bit of military training, especially in a many-against-one situation, it was almost a surefire way to kill. But...

Ye Yun looked at the darkness where Nuya was. In the firelight, the smoke in front of the darkness clearly formed a vortex and contracted into the darkness. At the same time, a deep sense of unease welled up from his heart.

He suddenly realized the danger, choking on the smoke, and shouted, "Get out of the way, Nuya is about to spray!"

The transition from fear to excitement is the most unpredictable of human emotions. Moreover, Ye Yun's shout was drowned out by another explosion.

"Screech!!!"

A soul-shattering roar echoed from the darkness, and several sonic booms sounded from the unseen place!

With the roar, Ye Yun felt a loud boom in his head, and a chill rose from his tailbone, instantly covering his entire body!

The intense fear... the sudden and overwhelming sense of impending death rushed into Ye Yun's mind! No need to guess, no need to think, even just a roar, Ye Yun had an incredibly real premonition of death! This premonition was so sudden and so intense, far exceeding the previous times!

Boom! The terrifying threat made a warm current in Ye Yun's chest and abdomen burst forth, like a firework igniting and rushing into his brain. In an instant, everything in Ye Yun's sight changed.

Slow motion...

Shattering...

Ye Yun saw with his eyes wide open, a dozen sharp, pale fangs slowly flying out of the darkness, the force blowing the surrounding smoke away. The fangs scattered, spinning and roaring, shooting towards the crowd.

This sudden slow-motion perception did not bring Ye Yun any joy, for he realized that the people's reactions were even slower compared to the fangs!

The seven bandits in the front row still had excitement and ferocity in their eyes. The wrinkles on their faces from their sneers were still changing, and the bullets just fired from their guns were almost completely stationary.

Then, each fang accurately hit a bandit.

Then, the bulletproof vests were twisted and shattered by the powerful rotational force, the black combat suits were torn like black butterflies, and the flesh and blood were twisted and exploded. With the fangs piercing in, blood and flesh spurted out like a geyser from the wounds.

Following that, the clothes and flesh and bones behind the wounds bulged and burst, and the fangs, still full of force, continued to shoot towards the next bandit!

In an instant, it felt like a thousand years. Several bandits were pierced by the fangs, and blood floated in the air without a drop touching the ground.

In this endless carnage, Ye Yun clearly saw a fang heading straight for his heart.

The speed was really slow, as if time had been slowed down a thousand times, but Ye Yun was even slower, slowed down ten thousand times. The air around him was sticky and taut, like a large amount of 502 glue pouring over his body.

Danger! Death trap!

Ye Yun clearly knew what would happen if this thing entered his body—it would be the most real death!

"I don't want to die!"

Ye Yun roared in his heart.

"I want to live!"

In the face of the threat of death, all descriptions seemed pale. Ye Yun desperately activated every muscle, using all his strength to break free from the constraints of time!

Seeing the fang symbolizing death slowly approaching, Ye Yun's eyes, wide open, almost bled.

His will to survive was stronger than anyone else's present. The word "survive" had been integrated into all his emotions!

Thus, at the moment the fang was about to pierce his body, the intense emotions and feelings erupted, and a surge of adrenaline was quickly produced.

Just like a mother lifting a heavy truck to save her child, just like the sudden burst of energy from the peak of emotional release.

In an instant, several warm currents surged from Ye Yun's abdomen like a flood, covering every part of his body!

Crack...

The sticky, fixed air around him seemed to be broken from the inside, forming web-like cracks, and then shattered.

And in that instant, Ye Yun broke free, his body regaining all its flexibility!

Then, he immediately made a defensive stance, standing on one leg with his hands protecting his chest.

"Defensive stance!"
