432: Section 432

It was a completely unstoppable situation; no one could block him...

However, just outside of Prison City.

In other cities within the New District, departments such as the Public Security Bureau, the Monster Hunting Bureau, and the Martial Suppression Bureau.

Were all suddenly busy.

Almost immediately after nightfall, incidents of Yao Beasts and strange beasts attacking people were discovered everywhere.

This plunged the entire New District into a state of panic.

A heavy sense of crisis also began to loom over them.

Under a large bridge in Songshan City.

Chu Zhengxiong, along with Mo Yanfeng, Qin Zhaoxue, and Chen Shuang—a few interns—all arrived here the moment they received the news.

By the time they arrived, the Public Security Bureau had already cordoned off the area with caution tape.

Captain Shan Kui from the Left Division Guard and his team were already under the bridge pier.

"Old Shan, what's the situation?"

Chu Zhengxiong led his squad down from above in a hurry.

Seeing Captain Shan Kui and the members of the Left Division Guard from afar, he shouted loudly.

Captain Shan Kui looked back at them.

He walked toward Chu Zhengxiong, and when he got close.

Captain Shan Kui's brows were deeply furrowed: "Three people are dead. They were all ordinary residents; two were not even Martial Artists, and the other was at the 1-star Realm. All of them were devoured by Yao Beasts!"

"How many? Three dead?"

Chu Zhengxiong's expression changed drastically.

Captain Shan Kui nodded: "According to our on-site investigation, we discovered that these three people were only killed after being dragged here!"

"And they were devoured while they were still alive..."

After Captain Shan Kui finished speaking.

The expressions of Chu Zhengxiong, Mo Yanfeng, and the others all changed.

Especially the three girls: Qin Zhaoxue, Cui Ya, and Xia Shiyu.

They were even more terrified.

Even if ordinary Yao Beasts hunt humans and devour them.

They usually do so only after killing them.

These three people were actually devoured by Yao Beasts while still alive.

One can only imagine how much pain they suffered before they died.

"These beasts... no, has it been determined which Yao Beast did this?"

"Why do I feel like there are more Yao Beasts in the New District recently than before?"

"In the past, even if Yao Beasts managed to sneak into the city, it was only an occasional occurrence!"

"In a year, the number of times Yao Beasts managed to enter the city would definitely not exceed double digits!"

"What is going on? In just one month, incidents of Yao Beasts killing people have occurred frequently... Old Shan, hasn't your Martial Suppression Bureau checked to see if something has gone wrong at the Forbidden Zone Battlefield?"

After Chu Zhengxiong finished saying this.

Captain Shan Kui suddenly looked back at him: "Old Chu, you are a captain, after all!"

"How can you say such things so casually? If this were to accidentally spread, could you bear the consequences?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, but isn't it just the two of us here?"

"Even so, you shouldn't talk nonsense. The matters regarding the Forbidden Zone Battlefield are not something we can interfere with!"

"Our duty is to protect our own jurisdiction!"

"However... I can reveal a piece of inside information to you!"

"Tonight, there have already been multiple incidents of Yao Beasts injuring people all over the New District!"

"It's not just our Songshan City; many other cities have had similar incidents occur... It's even been reported that in Beiruan City, several Yao Beasts above the 5-star Realm are running rampant in the city, causing quite a panic!"

"Right now, the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Martial Suppression Bureau in Beiruan City, Dongping City, and Daliu City are all patrolling the streets overnight!"

"Just before I left, I heard that our Songshan City is also about to activate a Level 3 alert!"

After Captain Shan Kui finished speaking, Chu Zhengxiong looked at him in surprise.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"It's inside information, so its veracity remains to be seen, but the situation tonight is definitely not that simple!"

"As for whether it is as you said... that belongs to the highest level of confidentiality!"

"It's not our place to manage it either. Let's wait and see. If the higher-ups from the Martial Arts Alliance, the Martial Suppression Bureau, and the Monster Hunting Bureau gather for a meeting in the next two days, then things might really have blown up!"

"If not, and it's just small meetings within individual units, it means the problem isn't that big!"

Captain Shan Kui and Chu Zhengxiong looked at each other.

Both of them tacitly understood.

Although the matters of the Forbidden Zone Battlefield cannot be publicized.

They both already had some guesses.

Especially with what happened tonight, where Yao Beasts and strange beasts attacking people broke out in various cities of the New District.

This already spoke volumes.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Monster Hunting Bureau, the Martial Suppression Bureau, and the Martial Arts Alliance will all order the various cities to eliminate these Yao Beasts.

If the problem isn't big, they might just call the captains of each city back to headquarters.

Hold an internal meeting, and deploy the task requirements.

If the problem has blown up... then it might be a high-level meeting between the three organizations: the Monster Hunting Bureau, the Martial Arts Alliance, and the Martial Suppression Bureau.

Once the higher-ups of the three units all sit together.

This would be enough to indicate that something has gone wrong at the Forbidden Zone Battlefield.

This matter would then be a huge deal.

The Forbidden Zone Battlefield has always been guarded by personnel from the Military District.

For so many years, there has never been any trouble.

Even if Yao Beasts or strange beasts occasionally sneak out, it's not considered a major problem.

They can quickly be quelled by the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Martial Suppression Bureau.

Either they are captured and thrown into Prison City, or they are killed on the spot.

Sometimes, in order to maintain the balance of Prison City, The Army guarding the Forbidden Zone will even personally enter the Forbidden Zone to capture some Yao Beasts and transport them to Prison City to be used as Cultivation resources for those students.

But now, in a single night, so many Yao Beasts have appeared.

It's not that the Forbidden Zone Battlefield has been breached.

But it has definitely entered a state of imbalance.

They are almost unable to hold it there...

Chu Zhengxiong patted Captain Shan Kui on the shoulder and nodded tacitly.

"Come on, let's get to work!"

He led the Monster Hunting Squad to the vicinity of the corpses.

He uncovered the white cloth covering the corpses.

There lay three corpses, two men and one woman.

However, their appearances could no longer be recognized; their faces had been gnawed until they were a bloody mess.

Their internal organs had also been completely hollowed out, leaving behind a terrifying bloody cavity...

The smell of blood permeating the surroundings made Cao Gang and Chen Shuang feel extremely uncomfortable in their stomachs.

As for Cui Ya and Xia Shiyu, their expressions changed uncertainly.

They ran to the side and began to vomit profusely.

Chu Zhengxiong looked back at them but didn't say anything.

They were still just students, and they had lived in the New District.

Where would they have seen such bloody scenes?

Even back when they were in the Old District, he still remembered the people he led to kill Blood Drops for the first time with Lin Yi.

After the great battle ended.

Lin Yi had also vomited up everything he had eaten the day before...

This is a normal physiological reaction for humans.

It will be fine once they slowly get used to it.

Chu Zhengxiong covered the three corpses with the white cloth again.

Although it couldn't really be called a white cloth anymore, because it had already been dyed red with fresh blood.

"The Monster Hunting work still has to be left to your Monster Hunting Bureau; professional people do professional work!"

"We, the Left Division Guard and the Public Security Bureau, are responsible for patrolling the city!"

Seeing that Chu Zhengxiong had finished examining the corpses, Captain Shan Kui hurriedly added.

Their various units had different responsibilities.

The Martial Suppression Bureau is mainly responsible for suppressing those Martial Artists.

The Monster Hunting Bureau is mainly responsible for hunting and chasing down those rampaging Yao Beasts.
