Chapter 24 - Evacuation

Tyrant arrived in front of the two. Jiang Yan could see people through Tyrant's perspective using the pearl of the abyss.

He looked at Li Yong, then at Dong Guangjie, and finally issued a command to Tyrant through the pearl of the abyss.

The next moment, Tyrant moved its hands, grabbing one person in each hand, and ran outside.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Weighing in at a ton, it created bursts of roaring sound as it ran.

Inside the thirteenth floor of the building, Jiang Yan smiled faintly: "Let's go, it's time to leave. That trouble will be arriving soon."

He turned and walked toward the elevator with Han Qi.

The entire process, from Tyrant leaving to seizing Dong Guangjie, took less than three minutes. Some slow runners were still dawdling on the street.

Inside the Wenqin City Inspector Bureau Chief's office, a middle-aged man was looking at documents when...

Drip! Drip! Drip!

The landline on his desk suddenly rang. He picked it up, and his expression immediately changed slightly: "Dong Guangjie kidnapped? Terrorist attack in the West City? Yes! I'll take people there immediately to maintain order!"

Hanging up the phone, he immediately walked out and started directing people.

Not just the Inspector Bureau, but also the East City Garrison. The gates opened, and gray troop carriers rapidly rolled out.

Seven or eight armed helicopters quickly flew overhead, heading straight for the West City.

"Hiss!" When the helicopters arrived at the hijacked street, a Regiment Commander on board gasped as he looked at the shattered street below.

Several law enforcement vehicles also appeared in the distance down the street; these were local patrol cars.

The aircraft landed in an open space far away. As part of the first batch of soldiers to arrive, Lü Ping commanded his subordinates: "Quickly go rescue the injured."

A bespectacled military officer quickly walked over and said: "Old Lü, I just checked. The person responsible for escorting Dong Guangjie was Hu Yanning, Captain of the Xuanjian Division's Fifth Group, Seventh Team, a Level Three Awakened!"

Hearing this, Lü Ping looked at the street covered in shattered glass and the section of road that was missing, frowning: "First, find Hu Yanning. We need to see him alive or his corpse. You go check the surveillance nearby."

"Yes!" The officer nodded and immediately ran off to handle the task.

Whoosh! Before long, police sirens and ambulance sirens kept arriving.

Large numbers of soldiers entered the scene and began dealing with the situation.

The bodies of Hu Yanning and the escorting soldiers were quickly found.

Lü Ping, the Mayor of Wenqin City, and the Inspector Bureau Chief, along with a group of people, looked at Hu Yanning's corpse with tightly furrowed brows.

His head was exploded, and his upper body was pulped like mud, as if struck violently by a heavy object.

"Regiment Commander Lü, Mayor Feng, Bureau Chief Xu, look!" The officer whom Lü Ping had previously asked to check the surveillance was holding a laptop, displaying a video in front of them with a look of shock.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as the video started, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground appeared, followed by a 3.5-meter tall purple monster. Vehicles on the road were smashed aside wherever it went, and an unlucky person who had gotten out of their car was hit, their body exploding.

Then the screen switched to another surveillance feed, where Hu Yanning released his ability only to be instantly killed.

Lü Ping finished watching, revealing a look of shock: "What the hell is this monster? Do creatures like this really exist in the world?"

He had previously thought it was other Awakened Ones or Martial Artists who came to kidnap the person, never expecting it to be a monster!

Mayor Feng and Bureau Chief Xu were also shocked, unsure what to say. Given their positions, the three of them understood the world of the Awakened Ones to some extent.

Among the Awakened Ones, there has never been a transforming monster in all these years.

After a moment, Mayor Feng immediately reacted, pulling out his phone to contact his superiors, while looking at Bureau Chief Xu: "Contact the Network Department immediately. Nothing about today's incident can appear online. Take everything down!"

"Yes!" Bureau Chief Xu also understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to contact people.

At the same time, a large number of on-site videos began appearing online. The moment these videos surfaced, they instantly caused a huge uproar.

[Video Caption: Monster appears in Wenqin City, causing massive destruction!]

In the video, the terrifying 3.5-meter tall monster recklessly crashed through vehicles. Cars weighing one or two tons were instantly smashed aside as if they were made of paper.

People immediately started commenting beneath these videos.

Sad Person: "Holy crap, what movie scene is this? It looks so real!"

Carrot Lover: "No! This looks real. The street shown in the video is Anwen Road. That street is always crowded; they wouldn't close it off for filming!"

Wenqin General Store: "It's real. My workplace is in a building nearby. Many people died. It's terrifying!"

Awesome S Big Cannon: "I knew superpowers must exist in this world! Save the video quickly; it'll probably be censored soon!"

Soon, these videos were censored within a minute.

While the authorities were busy blocking the news, Tyrant, carrying Li Yong and Dong Guangjie, had already appeared in a large mountain tens of kilometers outside Wenqin City.

Tyrant put the two down. Dong Guangjie immediately leaned on a nearby tree, his face pale. The next second: "Ugh!"

Having not exercised for years, he couldn't withstand such intense jolting.

Li Yong was better off, as his physical fitness was inherently strong.

A few minutes later, Dong Guangjie felt slightly better. He looked up at Tyrant, his eyes showing no fear, only curiosity, investigation, and a desire to dissect.

Thinking this, he turned his head to look at Li Yong, who had taken off his mask and hat: "Which organization are you from, and what do you need me to do?"

He was originally a dying man. Now that he had been rescued, he clearly understood his position, because if he could still live, who would want to die?

Furthermore, the attraction Tyrant held for him was like a pervert seeing a naked beautiful girl.

Li Yong shook his head: "I can't say right now. Mr. Jiang will naturally tell you when he arrives."

"Mr. Jiang?" Dong Guangjie tried to recall if there was such a person among the Awakened Ones, but he thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

"Never mind. I'll wait until we meet," Dong Guangjie thought. He had far too many questions regarding the Tyrant standing before him.

After the two waited in the mountain for dozens of minutes, Li Yong's phone rang: "Mr. Jiang! Okay, I understand."

Hanging up the phone, he looked at Dong Guangjie, who was sitting on the ground resting against a tree: "Let's go. Mr. Jiang is already waiting for us on the road outside."

Dong Guangjie stood up and followed behind Li Yong. After walking for a while, he saw that Tyrant behind them hadn't moved and asked doubtfully, "Is this fellow not coming with us?"

"Mr. Jiang said it would attract too much attention if it followed us, so it will return on its own," replied Li Yong, who was walking ahead.

"That's true," Dong Guangjie nodded.

After walking for a while, the two emerged from the woods onto a secluded highway. A black sedan was parked not far away.

Click!

At that moment, the rear car door opened, and a slick-haired, suit-clad, handsome yet brooding young man walked toward him.

"Mr. Jiang!" Li Yong greeted the young man respectfully.

This made Dong Guangjie's eyes flicker. Before meeting Mr. Jiang, he had expected at least a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, not someone so young.

Jiang Yan looked at Dong Guangjie in front of him, a smile on his face, and reached out to shake hands: "Professor Dong, hello. My name is Jiang Yan!"

Dong Guangjie reached out to shake hands: "Mr. Jiang Yan, you risked great danger to save me. What do you need me to do?"
