Overly Cautious Li Yuan!

"The game has begun.

At this moment, all the lights inside Nan Yan had been extinguished.

Hundreds of Deep Ones emerged from the darkness, blocking the staircases and pouring in from all directions!

The police were divided into two teams—one with eight members and the other with nine.

Li Yuan immediately targeted the smaller team.

Clearly, it's best to start with the easier target.

Deal with the smaller team first, then tackle the larger one. Li Yuan believed this was the safest approach.

Especially since Chu Yang was in the nine-member team. It was best to deal with him last.

Tap, tap, tap!

Hearing the dense footsteps echoing around them, the police tried to run, but the second floor was already blocked by Deep Ones!

They had no choice but to retreat to the third floor, pressing their backs against the walls and raising their guns!

"Call the captain!"

"We've encountered Deep Ones! Repeat, we've encountered Deep Ones!"

"What?"

"You too?"

"There are nearly a hundred Deep Ones here!"

"Same here?"

Clearly, both teams were simultaneously under attack by the Deep Ones.

"Damn it..."

"Prepare to fire!"

Everyone raised their guns, aiming in all directions. Seeing this, Li Yuan stepped back, positioning himself behind the Deep Ones.

The Deep Ones hesitated—after all, they were once human, and they were still afraid of guns!

Even as Deep Ones, they could still die from gunfire!

Li Yuan frowned. "Charge, all of you!"

At his command, the Deep Ones' eyes turned red, and they surged forward!

"Fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out. Some Deep Ones were shot in the head and died instantly, but more quickly took their place!

Soon, one Deep One broke through the line, charging through the hail of bullets like a rabid dog!

Thud!

"Ah!!"

"Liu Yan!!"

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!"

The police emptied their magazines, but there were simply too many Deep Ones!

Once they closed the distance, it was over!

Thud!

"Ugh..."

Sharp claws pierced a police officer's abdomen. He widened his eyes and shoved the gun barrel into the Deep One's mouth!

"You damn bastard!"

Bang!

Blood sprayed as the gun fired. After running out of bullets, the remaining officers were quickly overwhelmed!

"Ah!"

"Captain, Captain, Team Two is... thud!"

The eight-member team was wiped out, leaving only a dying middle-aged man.

At this moment, Li Yuan emerged from behind the Deep Ones.

He grabbed the man's head, lifting him effortlessly, and walked toward the other team.

"Chu Yang, your biggest mistake was not finishing me off with a second strike."

"Giving someone a second chance is like giving them a second bullet to finish what the first one didn't."

...

On the other side, the nine-member team was advancing steadily!

The Deep Ones hesitated at the sight of the guns. Li Yuan twisted his neck, took a deep breath, and let out a haunting cry!

"Wooaaah~!"

The cry, like a whale's mournful song, caused all the Deep Ones' eyes to turn red!

Just like before, they no longer feared the guns or bullets, charging forward like madmen!

Some twisted their bodies, crawling on all fours, while others leaped from the walls!

Wave after wave, they broke through the inner circle!

But it wasn't enough.

Li Yuan waved his hand from the rear, and the Deep Ones who had attacked the second team joined the fray!

They roared and howled, overwhelming the police with sheer numbers!

"Old Fang!!"

One officer screamed, pulling the trigger repeatedly, but his bullets were already spent.

At that moment, Chu Yang picked up a gun from the ground!

Hmm?

Li Yuan frowned, sensing a surge of killing intent.

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

Bang!

The gunshot echoed, and the bullet flew. Li Yuan grabbed a Deep One, using it as a shield to block the bullet!

Thud!

"Found me, huh?"

Too bad, it's too late.

Li Yuan grinned, tossing the Deep One's corpse aside.

He then threw the human corpse he was holding toward the police.

It was the body of a bearded officer. Seeing it, the remaining officers' morale shattered!

The nine-member team was now down to three!

Only Chu Yang roared, punching through the Deep Ones and creating an opening!

"Fall back!"

Without hesitation, Yang Yan led the injured officer toward the third-floor bathroom—a dead end with no windows.

The Deep Ones were about to chase them, but Li Yuan stopped them.

"No, leave them."

"Deal with Chu Yang first."

It was a simple strategic move.

If someone still has teammates, they won't believe they're in a hopeless situation.

"A cornered beast will fight back, let alone a human."

"If he's truly alone, he'll fight with nothing to lose, and there's a slim chance he might escape."

No matter how small that chance is, as long as it exists, it must be prevented!

So, Li Yuan left two burdens for Chu Yang.

This would tie Chu Yang down, giving them the opportunity to kill him. The remaining two would then be no threat.

Chu Yang didn't seem to think much of it, but Yang Yan, noticing the Deep Ones weren't chasing them, realized something was wrong!

"Chu Yang, forget about us! Run!"

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

"Chu Yang, listen to me. They're using us to trap you!"

"I'm begging you, do one last thing..."

"Get the message out!"

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

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Li Yuan's eyes turned cold. It seemed he'd have to take matters into his own hands.

Anyone could live, but Chu Yang had to die. He must die here today—not just for the mission, but also for personal reasons!

Li Yuan was about to step in but suddenly stopped.

Because he sensed there was still one more person in the building.
