Chapter 014: The Overly Cautious Li Yuan!

"The game has begun.

At this moment, all the lights inside Nanyan were extinguished.

Hundreds of merfolk emerged from the darkness, blocking the staircases and then continuously pouring out from all directions!

The police were split into two teams, one with eight members and the other with nine.

Li Yuan directly targeted the eight-member team.

Clearly, it's easier to start with the smaller group.

First deal with the team with fewer people, then tackle the larger group. Li Yuan believed this was the most prudent approach.

Especially since that Chu Yang was in the nine-member team, leaving him for last was the safest option.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter!

Listening to the dense footsteps surrounding them, the group of officers wanted to run, but the second floor had already been blocked by the merfolk!

The group could only retreat to the third floor, back against the wall, guns ready!

"Call the captain!"

"We've encountered merfolk on our side, repeat, we've encountered merfolk!"

"What?"

"You have them on your side too?"

"We've got nearly a hundred merfolk here!"

"The same?"

Clearly, both groups had simultaneously encountered a large attack from the merfolk.

"Damn..."

"Prepare to fire!"

Everyone raised their guns, aiming at the surroundings. Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately stepped back to the very rear of the merfolk.

Seeing his retreat, none of the merfolk moved because they had once been human too, and they were afraid of guns!

Even as merfolk, getting shot would still result in death!

Seeing this, Li Yuan frowned, "Charge, all together!"

At his command, the merfolk instantly became enraged and surged forward!

"Fire!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang!

Gunfire erupted continuously, with merfolk being shot in the head and dying instantly, but new ones quickly took their places!

Soon, one merfolk broke through the line of defense, charging through the gunfire like a vicious dog!

Piercing!

"Ah!!"

"Liu Yan!!"

"Damn it, I'll fight you all!"

The group began to desperately empty their magazines, but there were too many merfolk!

Once they got close, it was all over!

Piercing!

"Ugh..."

Sharp claws pierced through a policeman's abdomen. He widened his eyes and shoved the gun barrel into the merfolk's mouth!

"You damn mongrel!"

Bang!

The gunshot sounded, blood sprayed, and after the bullets were spent, the remaining few couldn't reload in time before being overwhelmed!

"Ah!"

"Calling the captain, captain, the second team has already... Piercing!"

With that, the eight-member team was annihilated, leaving only one dying middle-aged man.

At this moment, Li Yuan walked out from behind the merfolk.

He grabbed the middle-aged man's head, easily lifting him up, and then walked straight to the other side.

"Chu Yang, your biggest mistake was not giving me one more stab."

"Granting someone a second chance is like them firing a second bullet at you, making up for the first one that didn't kill you!"

...

On the other side, a group of nine people was continuously advancing in this direction!

Seeing the handguns, the merfolk started to retreat. Seeing this, Li Yuan twisted his neck and then took a deep breath before emitting a loud cry.

"Woo-ah~!"

His cry was like the mournful sound of a whale. Upon hearing it, all the merfolk's eyes turned red!

Just like the previous merfolk, they no longer feared handguns and bullets and started to rush forward like mad.

Some twisted their bodies, landing on all fours, others leapt from the walls!

One after another, they broke through to the inner circle!

But, it wasn't enough.

Li Yuan, standing at the back, waved his hand, and the merfolk who had previously attacked the second team instantly joined the battlefield!

They roared and screamed as they charged, easily overwhelming several people with sheer numbers!

"Old Fang!!"

One person roared, repeatedly pulling the trigger, but his bullets were already spent.

At that moment, Chu Yang, amidst the crowd, suddenly picked up a handgun from the ground!

Hmm?

Li Yuan frowned, sensing a surge of killing intent.

Chu Yang instantly aimed the gun at Li Yuan and fiercely pulled the trigger!

Bang!

The gunshot sounded, the bullet was fired, and Li Yuan quickly grabbed a merfolk and pulled it in front of him, directly blocking the bullet!

Pummm!

Was he discovered?

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Li Yuan grinned, tossing aside the merfolk's corpse.

Then, he threw a human corpse he was holding.

It was a bearded policeman. Seeing his body, the psychological defenses of the people completely collapsed!

The nine-member team was reduced to only three in an instant!

Only Chu Yang roared and punched towards the merfolk, forcefully creating a gap!

"You guys retreat first!"

Hearing this, Yang Yan didn't hesitate and immediately led the injured policemen to rush out!

But their escape route was towards the third floor's restroom, clearly a dead end with no windows.

The merfolk were about to chase after them but were directly stopped by Li Yuan.

"No, leave them."

"Let's deal with Chu Yang first."

It was a simple logical strategy.

If a person still has teammates, then he wouldn't believe he's in a hopeless situation.

"A cornered beast will still fight, what more a human?"

"If he's truly left alone, then with nothing to lose, he might genuinely have a slim chance of escaping."

No matter how slim that possibility might be, as long as there's a chance, it must be guarded against!

Therefore, Li Yuan intended to leave two "burdens" for him.

This would somewhat tie down Chu Yang, allowing them to take the opportunity to eliminate Chu Yang. The remaining two would not be a concern.

Chu Yang didn't seem to think too much, but when Yang Yan realized the merfolk weren't pursuing them, he sensed something was wrong!

This is bad!

"Chu Yang, forget about us, just go!"

Chu Yang clenched his teeth, "No, I...!"

"Chu Yang, listen to me, they want to use us to drag you down!"

"I beg you one last thing..."

"Take the message out!"

"Let the higher-ups know, monsters have already infiltrated human society!"

Hearing Yang Yan's voice, Li Yuan's gaze turned cold, it seemed necessary to take action personally.

Anyone could live, but Chu Yang could not. He must die here today, and this was not only a mission but also involved some personal grievances!

Li Yuan was about to intervene, but suddenly stopped.

Because he sensed there was still another person in this building.
