54: Chapter 54 Do whatever you want!

Meanwhile, Luo City, Old District.

"No, you cannot mention Chen Mo's name!"

The old director hiding in the warehouse shook his head. If that child Chen Mo found out about this…

Given that child's temperament, he would likely abandon the Provincial Joint Examination and rush back to save them.

He had lived to such a ripe old age and had lived enough; he could not ruin his child's future!

"Officer Li, Officer Zhao."

Director Gu Sanding took a deep breath and pushed Xueni, who was in his arms, toward the two men.

"If an Abyss Beast really gets in later, you two take Xueni and run."

"This old bag of bones can still hold them off for a while!"

"At the very least, it will be enough to half-fill their stomachs."

Director Gu Sanding's expression was resolute, but Xueni, who was in his arms, began to struggle as if she had gone mad.

"Shut up!"

Director Gu Sanding slapped Xueni across the face, his expression ferocious and unquestionable.

"It hasn't reached that point yet; the more you make a fuss, the worse the situation becomes!"

At this moment, Director Gu Sanding had completely lost his former kindness, scaring Xueni so much that she didn't dare to move.

"It's alright, Elder Gu."

Officer Li was also quite nervous at this moment. Listening to the Abyss Beast rampaging on the street outside, his palms couldn't stop sweating.

"Director Zhou is already on his way back; he will be back in at most half an hour."

Rumble! Thunder rolled through the dark clouds, turning into lightning that struck the ground.

Bang! A heavy footstep sounded, and the few people hiding in the warehouse felt their hearts tighten.

"Old Li, don't make a move if you don't have to."

"Once you act, the commotion will only attract more Abyss Beasts."

"Unless it's absolutely necessary… remember, do not act!"

Officer Zhao gritted his teeth, gripping the hilt of his long blade tightly.

"I know…"

Officer Li shielded Director Gu Sanding and Xueni beneath him, even holding his breath.

The footsteps grew closer, and a pair of lantern-sized eyes peered through the glass into the warehouse.

After the large eyeballs scanned the warehouse and found no one, it let out a roar and tore the roof off the warehouse with a single swipe.

Fortunately, the Abyss Beast was only venting its anger; after slapping the roof off the warehouse, it ran off toward other areas.

The debris pressed down on Officer Li's back, while Director Gu Sanding and Xueni beneath him remained unharmed.

"That scared the hell out of me…"

Officer Li breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after, he heard a shrill scream through the heavy rain.

"Help! Someone, save me!"

Officer Li looked up abruptly and saw a middle-aged woman clutching a child, sprinting through the rain.

Behind her, a dozen Ghost Hounds were drooling as they sprinted toward her.

Officer Li could even clearly see an extremely human-like mockery flashing in the eyes of those Ghost Hounds.

They were not hunting for the sake of hunting, but simply enjoying the process of slaughter!

"Damn it!"

The veins on Officer Li's forehead bulged, and he braced himself to stand up and save them.

"Old Li! Have you forgotten your mission?"

Officer Zhao grabbed Officer Li's wrist, his eyes staring unblinkingly at Officer Li.

"Damn you, Zhao Qian! Look at the word on my uniform!"

"Police! That word is spelled 'Police'!"

"I do this job to protect the ordinary people! You want me to watch a living person and a child get killed by beasts!"

"Are you kidding me!"

"You protect Director Gu and Xueni; I'll lure all these Abyss Beasts away."

After speaking, Officer Li put on his police uniform, adjusted his cap, and prepared to walk out.

Swish! But in the very next second, a silvery-white blade flash swept across, and those Abyss Beasts were cut in two almost instantly.

The mother and child were also taken away by a figure cloaked in black, eventually disappearing into the rain.

"…" "I was just getting fired up…"

Seeing this, Officer Li breathed a sigh of relief. If he could avoid dying, he actually didn't want to die.

"Hurry up and hide, stop showing off!"

Although Officer Zhao didn't know who that person was, it was enough that the mother and child were saved.

"It's too late…"

Officer Li, who had just spoken with a tone of relief, now had a grave expression and slowly drew the long blade from his waist.

"We've been exposed."

Officer Zhao was stunned to hear this and looked up abruptly at the surroundings.

At this moment, at least a hundred Abyss Beasts had tightly surrounded the entire Chenguang Orphanage.

"Director Gu, you and Xueni stay low."

"We'll handle this."

Officer Zhao drew his long blade, his entire body's vitality burning crazily at this moment.

Crack! Lightning tore through the darkness, illuminating their two faces as raindrops dripped from them.

Officer Zhao and Officer Li had resolute expressions, while the surrounding Abyss Beasts kept drooling.

"Roar!" Accompanied by a beast's roar, a life-and-death battle began!

"Kill!"

Outside the Old District of Luo City, Zhou Sanlang punched and exploded the head of a Rank 3 Abyss Beast.

"Wurururu~" A tall horse with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a body burning with flames slowly walked out, blocking Zhou Sanlang.

Immediately after, a dozen Abyss Beasts exuding powerful auras appeared simultaneously, surrounding Zhou Sanlang tightly.

"Damn you…" Zhou Sanlang's expression was ferocious, and without a second thought, he charged toward those Abyss Beasts.

"Don't you dare block my path!"

A pair of iron fists tore through the rain, and the roars of beasts and the shouts of the martial artist rang out in the heavy rain.

Blood splattered, but it was quickly washed away by the torrential rain that poured down like a river from the sky…

In the Joint Exam command center, the technical supervisor noticed something wrong as they watched the screen flicker for a moment.

"Governor! The simulation system has been hacked!"

The staff member immediately sounded the intrusion alarm, but the intrusion lasted only for a split second before disappearing.

"Hmm? The intrusion disappeared?" "What's going on? Did I see it wrong?"

The staff member was confused, completely unaware of what was happening.

Who could be so bored to crack the supercomputer's firewall and then just leave?

"You didn't see it wrong…" Governor Sun Jingan slowly stood up, staring fixedly at the simulation pod where Chen Mo was located.

"He has already finished what he wanted to do."

At this moment, Chen Mo's breathing in the simulation became incredibly heavy.

It was not because of the fatigue of killing enemies, but because of the scene he had just witnessed before him.

The collapsed warehouse, the Abyss Beasts rampaging throughout the city. And that sentence left by that person…

'Go back to save people or continue the Joint Exam, you make the decision yourself.'

"Chen Mo!" Wang Jun's hand rested on Chen Mo's shoulder, and Chen Mo turned around abruptly.

"Go, leave this place to us."

"We brothers aren't useless either; do what you need to do."

"When you come back, we guarantee you'll still be first!"
