"Yes." Monte walked towards the body. "I happened to be patrolling nearby. I rushed over as soon as I received your message."
"You are quite sensible. I can give you some of the credit..."
When he saw the appearance of the corpse clearly when he was halfway through his words, he raised his head and stared at Song Xu silently.
"Uh..." Song Xu scratched his head awkwardly, "He accidentally fell while running away and was hit on the temple by a rock and died on the spot."
Monte glanced at a sharp stone covered in blood next to the corpse's head.
With a smile, he spread out the five fingers of his right hand and raised it, facing Song Xu directly.
Song Xu stared blankly at his palm sliding open to both sides like a sliding window, revealing a black hole gun barrel.
"Director."
A man who looked to be in his thirties walked out of the crowd and took two steps to Song Xu's side: "His statement is consistent with the situation at the scene."
Song Xu glanced at him, and memories came flooding back.
Wang Shan is in the same criminal department as me.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in the crowd walked up to Monte's shoulder and whispered in his ear:
"Director, they are both from the Criminal Division. We cannot do anything to them unless we violate procedures. You also know the crazy woman who heads the Criminal Division. Her background..."
Monte stared at Song Xu and moved his gaze to the person who reminded him: "Why did you take your left foot first just now?"
"what?"
The palm moves away: "Bang——"
There were now two bodies on the ground.
The citizen who had been squatting had a foul smell coming from between his legs.
Feeling a little overpowering, Song Xu pulled Wang Shan back two steps, pointed at the body of his colleague who had died tragically on the ground with his left foot first, and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay that the director shot him with just one shot?"
Monte exhaled a sigh of relief and heard him muttering, grinning: "I killed him?"
As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at the dozen or so law enforcement officers: "Did anyone see it?"
The crowd was silent.
Nodding with satisfaction, Monte was about to say something.
"I saw it."
Turning back, he looked at Song Xu who was talking and laughed, "You haven't changed your artificial eye yet, but your natural eye vision is very good?"
"It's, it's okay." Song Xu scratched his head. The eyesight of this body was indeed quite good.
Monte nodded, and pointed his unclosed palm at the squatting citizen: "Bang——"
There were three bodies on the ground.
“Did you see this too?”
"Yeah, I saw it."
After Song Xu finished speaking, he thought he would lie on the ground with his three brothers.
However, Monte put down his hand and said nothing. He just stood there silently, as if waiting for something.
What is he waiting for?
Doubts arose in Song Xu's mind, but before he had time to think carefully, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the woods.
I turned my head subconsciously and saw a black, hairless head popping out from behind a thick tree.
What the hell?
"Alien beast!" Wang Shan beside him grabbed his arm and pulled him back, shouting in fear.
As if startled by the shouting, the mouth on the black head split to the ears, and the whole "person" jumped out from behind the tree and lay on the ground, staring at Song Xu quietly with pale eyes.
Grass!
What kind of monster is this?!
As Song Xu watched, the monster's body was roughly the same as that of a human. The only difference was that it didn't stand up, but was lying on the ground like a spider, moving with its limbs.
"alert!"
The law enforcement officers shouted and scattered. Their forearms opened like windows, and they stretched out a black pistol and aimed at the monster.
Seeing this, Song Xu slapped his arms up and down, but there was no reaction.
It’s strange, everyone is a law enforcement officer, why am I the only one who doesn’t have one?
"You haven't installed the prosthesis yet, step back!" Wang Shan stopped him behind him, raised the arc gun on his forearm and fired at the monster.
At the same time, the law enforcement officers behind also released their firepower, and more than ten blue arcs shot towards the monster.
The monster's grin widened as it faced the lightning. The next second, it moved its limbs slightly and jumped sideways to avoid the attack, then it rushed towards Monte, who was the closest to it, like lightning.
When he saw the monster attacking him, he reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
Song Xu noticed that his face was slightly gloomy and he seemed a little disappointed.
"what!"
A scream woke Song Xu up, and he looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out that the monster rushed towards another law enforcement officer after missing its attack. He was obviously not as strong as Monte, and he was bitten on the throat by the monster before he could dodge, and he was silent in an instant.
The law enforcement officers turned their guns around and fired, but the monster jumped away flexibly and took the opportunity when they readjusted the guns to bite two more people to death in a moment.
The results were impressive, but the continuous attacks caused the monster's swift body to pause. Although it was short, Wang Shan still seized the opportunity and shot it in the right hind leg.
Without a leg, the monster's movements slowed down noticeably. The law enforcement officers concentrated their firepower, paid the price of two lives again, and finally electrocuted the monster into charcoal.
"It's okay." Wang Shan patted Song Xu's shoulder. "Strange, isn't this the time when alien beasts are active?"
Song Xu's eyes fell on the woods: "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure." Wang Shan said confidently, "You've just been here for a few days for internship in District 16 so you're not familiar with it. There are still two months before the beast tide. It's the same time every year. No way... what are you looking at?"
He followed Song Xu's gaze towards the woods, where dozens of heads had appeared at some point, staring at them blankly with pale eyes.
Before he could say a word, the alien beast rushed over like a hungry tiger out of a cage, its limbs crossing wildly.
Song Xu sighed silently.
I told you, how could such an unlucky thing like me possibly change my luck?
Just as he was observing a moment of silence, the sound of bells jingling suddenly rang out behind him.
Instinct to look back.
A young girl appeared more than ten meters away.
Her long silver hair was tied into a high ponytail and fell to her waist.
She had fair skin, a cool face, and black short-sleeved shorts. She had a delicate appearance, as if she was a princess walking out of the night.
A metallic ring was tightly wrapped around her slender neck.
Facing the alien beasts that were pouring in like a tide, her eyes were as calm as dead water.
She raised her hand, grabbed the hilt on her left shoulder and drew out a long sword.
Holding the long sword in his right hand, the figure disappeared instantly.
Chapter 2 I Can't Beat Him
Song Xu could not see the girl's figure, only the sword light that cut through the darkness in front of him.
When the light stopped, dozens of alien beasts had turned into pieces on the ground.
The girl sheathed her sword, closed her eyes, and stood quietly among the fragments.
Song Xu felt a sharp pain in his head and memories came flooding back.
This is...the power of the polluter?
The physique adapts to the polluted energy and absorbs the pollution to gain special abilities.
He wanted to go closer to observe, but was surprised to find that all the law enforcement officers, including Monte, ran away in the opposite direction of the girl as if they had seen a ghost.
This.....Aren't all the alien beasts dead? She saved us, why are you running?
"Go!"
Seeing that he was standing there motionless, Wang Shan, who had already run away, turned back, grabbed his arm and pulled it back with all his strength.
Song Xu felt that this slender girl in front of him was more terrifying than the alien beast.
At this moment, the girl suddenly moved.
Everyone except Song Xu, no matter how far they had run, stopped, slowly turned their heads, and stared at the girl nervously.
She didn't seem to care about the looks from all around her, and walked towards the nearby city, soon disappearing into the night.
“Huh…” Wang Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Seeing him breathe a sigh of relief, Song Xu asked curiously, "Is she that scary?"
After taking a few more breaths, Wang Shan put his hands on his hips and explained, "Executive Officer Bingyin has been serving for five years, even in a border city like District 16.
Pollution energy is close to a critical point and could go out of control at any time."
After hearing this, some more information appeared in my mind.
Song Xu found that the memory in his brain was not very useful and he would only react when there was a related object.
After a little sorting, he suddenly understood.
The polluters are called executive officers. Although they are powerful and can easily kill humans with 80% of their bodies modified, the price is also high.
Every time the polluter uses his ability, the polluted energy in his body increases. Once the polluted energy exceeds the limit that the body can bear, he will go berserk, lose his mind, and destroy everything he sees.
And now the government agency, the Federation, has installed a special bomb around the neck of the polluter in order to control it.
It can instantly detonate the polluted energy in the polluter's body and blow the whole person into powder.
In addition, all polluters are basically artificially created by the federal government, which has caused the originally relatively relaxed relationship between the two sides to turn extremely bad.
"Song Xu."
