"Devil!"
The shrill screams echoed over the city, and for a moment, everything was deathly silent. Then, everyone turned their gaze to the source of the sound.
Towering flames!
The fire seemed to have sprung up out of nowhere, directly igniting in the densely packed center. In addition, a cacophony of noises also resonated throughout the city.
It wasn't the roar of humans, the voice was shrill and hoarse, with a tone that bewitched the mind. Under this sound, some weak-willed survivors actually opened their doors and walked onto the streets.
Things became bizarre.
The devil had descended!
Chen Feng's vision was exceptionally good. From afar, he even saw several flying figures. They had blood-red skin and long, sharp horns. They swooped down, cradling humans in their arms, and then tore them to shreds with their claws. The ground was instantly splattered with a pool of blood.
No one knew where these demons came from, but one thing was certain: the moment they descended, the mad slaughter began.
Just when everyone was confidently believing that the pro-war faction was in control, Hong Jiuling, the evil entity hiding in the shadows, launched a counterattack.
Things were spiraling out of control.
Even Chen Feng showed a hint of shock. He hadn't expected that someone had mastered the method to summon demons. In fact, this was a mass summoning.
Compared to Chen Feng's control, this summoning did not enforce loyalty. These demons descended upon this world through the summoning, not to follow orders, but simply to enjoy the pleasure brought by death and slaughter.
To the demons, human souls were a delicacy. They not only fed on human flesh but also loved to devour souls to augment their own power and strength.
Chaos was spreading.
If this continued, Chen Feng's plan could very well be derailed.
"Everyone, assemble and advance forward!"
At the critical moment, Chen Feng issued a command. Everyone stood together, and perhaps because the demonic aura was too terrifying, some people even had their veins bulging, indicating the extent of their tension.
"Sir, the research facility has been completely searched. We have captured thirteen prisoners. How should we handle them?" Wei Xun approached, his body covered in blood, and there was a metallic scent on his breath that was nauseating.
"It's a special period, and I have no time to manage these people. Do I need to tell you what happens to burdens?" Chen Feng coldly replied.
Wei Xun trembled slightly and said in a gloomy tone, "I understand."
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
"My brother is a professional. Take me as a hostage, he'll definitely surrender."
"I beg you... please let me go..."
"Rat-tat-tat..."
A series of gunshots rang out. These people were the main members of the conservative faction; their exceptional gear showcased their extraordinary nature.
The appearance of demons disturbed Chen Feng's thoughts; under such circumstances, he couldn't allow any variables that might affect his plan to occur.
The best course of action was to cut through the mess with a quick knife—one word... kill!
Wei Xun restored his stance beside Chen Feng, but this time, his eyes were bloodshot, like a humanoid demon.
"Go!"
Having resolved everything, Chen Feng didn't hesitate, leading everyone toward the center of the city.
..................
"Having been with Hong Jiuling for so long, what kind of person is he?"
After choosing to pledge allegiance to Chen Feng, Mr. Fang had also followed, and at this time, Chen Feng began to inquire for information.
"He's not human."
Mr. Fang, walking beside Chen Feng, didn't even ponder before giving this answer.
Not human?
Chen Feng furrowed his brow. The information in those few words was immense, leaving him uncertain of Mr. Fang's intended message.
Seeing Chen Feng's frown, Mr. Fang spoke again, "I'm not making things up. Hong Jiuling is truly not human. He enjoys drinking the blood of young girls, the virgin being the best. Besides that, I've seen his tail—thin, no fur on it, but at the tip, there's a mass like a branding iron."
"A mass?"
Chen Feng muttered to himself, it seemed Mr. Fang was not completely uninformed but knew some of Hong Jiuling's secrets, then he replied faintly, "You knew he wasn't human, why did you serve under him?"
Mr. Fang curled his lips, wearing a blank expression: "What does it matter to me whether Hong Jiuling is human or not? I only care about my research. I did seek out Feng Zhiyong, but he claimed I was poisoning life and refused to support my research. But Hong Jiuling is different; he can provide me with ample experimental subjects, and that's enough."
Unlike the numb look earlier, when talking about research, Mr. Fang exhibited a strong sense of madness, even grinning at the corners of his mouth, revealing a chilling smile.
Madman!
This was Chen Feng's clearest feeling now!
Mr. Fang did not care for fine wine nor beauty. In fact, these external things held no appeal to him. Even upon learning of Hong Jiuling's potential identity, he remained indifferent, as if the so-called justice had no place in his heart.
He simply lived in his own world.
Research!
Endless research!
To realize his hopes, he did not hesitate to turn himself into a monster.
