2: Come to the world of slaughter!

Humanity is greedy and ugly!

However, it is precisely because of human greed that the world progresses, leading society to develop continuously. But where there is light, there is naturally darkness, so "greed" is a double-edged sword!

...Mission Briefing: Not long ago, a pathogen called the "blacklight virus" suddenly spread in Manhattan, New York City. Due to its unique invasiveness and danger, a large number of citizens were Infected by the virus, turning into creatures known as "Infected." Some of these Infected retained human form but possessed superhuman strength and abilities, while others transformed into various monsters.

During the virus's spread, the authorities dispatched a military organization called "Blackwatch" into New York City, implementing strict lockdown and quarantine measures across the entire city. The lockdown of "Manhattan Island" was particularly stringent, and this was also the epicenter of the virus outbreak!

In the chaotic Manhattan area, the streets are now filled with "Infected" by the blacklight virus. They indiscriminately attack citizens, and intense gunshots and artillery fire erupt everywhere. That is the Blackwatch forces suppressing and eliminating the Infected.

In a dark and damp alley, Li An, who was lying down, was awakened by the cold ground. He then stood up in a daze. He first shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

Then, Li An immediately surveyed his surroundings, realizing that he was in a secluded alley.

"I'm here already?"

Looking at the changing environment, Li An immediately realized that he had arrived at his destination.

Roar!

However, just then, before Li An could even understand the situation, a monstrous humanoid beast with no skin, a ferocious appearance, and a pair of huge claws appeared before him.

Hunter!

Hunters are monsters hatched from Infected water towers and hives. They have no skin, only large muscles directly exposed, sunken eyes, and lipless mouths, making them resemble a shaven gorilla. But their instincts are more like a dog's.

"I..."

Facing this suddenly appearing monster, Li An's eyes widened. However, before he could utter a national expletive, he saw the Hunter raise its massive claw and swat down at his head.

In an emergency, Li An didn't care about anything else and rolled to the side to dodge.

Boom!

The moment Li An dodged, the Hunter's attack arrived, directly hitting where Li An had been standing, cracking the cold ground in several places.

Damn it!

Why did I encounter a Hunter right at the start?

Am I that unlucky?

Li An, who had dodged the attack and created distance, cursed inwardly at this moment. But he also knew the situation was urgent; he had to escape the Hunter's pursuit first, otherwise, even he wouldn't be able to take down a Hunter head-on.

"You beast, I'll let you off for now."

Li An glared fiercely at the Hunter, then ran towards the alley's exit without looking back. Although he didn't know where he was now, as long as he could escape the Hunter's pursuit first, that would be enough.

Roar!

Seeing that its attack failed to kill the 'mouse' in front of it, the Hunter was first stunned, then enraged, and immediately locked onto Li An and pursued him.

At this moment, the Hunter used all its limbs, propelling its terrifying body rapidly towards Li An, causing the entire ground to rumble loudly.

This huge commotion naturally caught Li An's attention. He only glanced back, his face changed dramatically, and then he put all his strength into running towards the alley entrance.

Fortunately, due to the Hunter's massive size, the narrow alley greatly restricted its movement speed. Just as Li An was about to be caught by the Hunter, he reached the alley entrance, turned, and made the Hunter miss. At the same time, the Hunter itself, due to inertia, directly rushed out of the alley.

Bang!

The Hunter, rushing out of the alley, then collided with a small car coming from the side. Under the Hunter's enormous size, the car was instantly sent flying. This sudden change immediately threw the street into chaos, with countless honking and terrified screams, and citizens began to scatter and flee.

Faced with the ferocious and incredibly fierce Hunter, anyone who saw it couldn't help but panic, and screams erupted everywhere.

Ignoring the Hunter that had collided with the car, and seeing that he had temporarily escaped the Hunter's pursuit, Li An quickly scanned his surroundings and immediately blended into the fleeing crowd, intending to avoid the Hunter's subsequent pursuit.

Swish!

However, a survival trial is not just talk. When Li An had only gone a few dozen meters, a new Hunter appeared. This Hunter actually descended from the sky, landing directly in front of Li An, and upon landing, it instantly smashed several citizens who were too slow to dodge, turning their bodies into a puddle of flesh.

"What the f..."

Looking at the ferocious Hunter descending from the sky, Li An's heart roared incessantly, and at the same time, his body was incredibly honest, directly running to one side without looking back. At this point, he had clearly realized one thing: no matter how he ran, the Hunter would eventually catch up, and this was his survival trial!

"Are they playing this big?"

While fleeing, Li An showed a bitter smile. He didn't expect it to be this intense right from the start. With his ordinary human body, how could he possibly escape the Hunter's pursuit?

As a gamer, Li An was very aware of how terrifying Hunters were. Hunters possessed superhuman strength, capable of easily destroying obstacles, and what was most annoying was that their movement speed was also not slow; they could even leap between buildings.

"Damn it."

Thinking of this, Li An quickly scanned his surroundings and immediately saw several other Hunters in the distance approaching, seemingly also coming to capture him.

No!

I absolutely cannot be caught!

Li An knew very well that if he were caught by a Hunter, there would only be one outcome. He wouldn't even need to wait for the trial to fail; he would be eaten alive by the Hunter as food.

"What to do, what to do?"

Li An pushed through the chaotic crowd, gasping for breath. At this moment, he didn't even need to look back; he could tell from the loud sounds behind him that the Hunter was rapidly approaching.

"No, with my strength, it's impossible to deal with so many Hunters. I can only rely on external help."

"External help, Blackwatch? Or Alex Mercer?"

While contemplating, Li An finally broke out of the chaotic crowd and ran into a damp alley again. This alley, however, was even smaller than the one he had woken up in earlier, and this was intentional on Li An's part.
