10: The special security team suffered a crushing defeat, and Han Fei stepped in!

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully killing a black iron grade treasure chest monster!”

“Hunt Value +1”

“Upgrade Progress +10”

“Performance +3521”

Looking at the green numbers floating above the branded trash can, Han Fei immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

“Hoo hoo—”

He was really scared to death just now.

The Garbage Monster was less than a meter away from him earlier, and its body had split open into a huge black maw. If Han Fei had activated his superpower half a second later, he probably would have been swallowed whole by it.

“That was close.”

Before Han Fei, who had narrowly escaped death, could even sigh in relief, numerous loud bangs from afar almost deafened him.

Rumble rumble—

Bang bang bang!

Crackle crackle—

All sorts of sounds echoed incessantly, like booming artillery and volcanic eruptions.

Han Fei hid behind an obstacle and looked into the distance, only to see three Special Guard Team members locked in fierce combat with a giant Garbage Monster.

The battle was incredibly intense; an entire building was destroyed in the aftermath of their fight.

The three Special Guard Team members fighting the giant Garbage Monster included the muscular man Han Fei had seen before, a red twin-tailed girl holding a giant pair of scissors, and a young boy holding a massive wooden hammer.

All three Special Guard Team members possessed superhuman combat power; a single attack from any of them could wreck a small car.

However, even with their incredibly coordinated teamwork, and occasional lightning strikes from the sky hitting the Garbage Monster, the Garbage Monster still held a decisive advantage.

This was mainly due to the Garbage Monster's astonishing recovery ability. No matter what kind of damage it sustained, it only needed to gently absorb some trash from the ground to recover completely.

“We must stop its recovery ability!” the muscular man roared, grabbing one of the Garbage Monster's tentacles. “As long as we don't let it touch the trash, we'll be fine. Can we clear the trash off the ground?”

“No, there's too much trash on the ground,” the young boy said nervously, waving his giant hammer.

“Then find a way to stop it from getting near the trash!” The muscular man punched the Garbage Monster down, but was then flung away by a tentacle.

“Damn it, we can't stop it, it's too strong!” the Scissor Girl complained while dodging tentacle attacks. “Why is there so much trash on the ground?!”

Just then, a Guard Member ran over, clutching a branded trash can, and said, “Use this branded trash can; this branded trash can can damage it.”

“Don't come closer, it's dangerous!” the Scissor Girl quickly warned.

“Use this branded trash can to attack it!” The Guard Member stopped in place and forcefully threw the branded trash can in his hand to the Special Guard Team members.

The Scissor Girl caught the thrown branded trash can with her scissors and couldn't help but mutter, “Is this thing even useful?”

Though she had doubts, her movements were not at all slow. She precisely controlled her scissors to toss the branded trash can towards the Garbage Monster.

Bang!

The moment the branded trash can hit the giant Garbage Monster, it exploded, creating a basketball-sized hole.

The giant Garbage Monster also let out a cry of pain.

“The branded trash can actually worked!”

The Scissor Girl was delighted, her gaze fixed on a nearby large branded trash can.

After nimbly dodging the giant Garbage Monster's tentacle attacks, she stopped beside the branded trash can.

“Eat this, you scumbag!”

The Scissor Girl, like playing golf, hit the large branded trash can at the giant Garbage Monster.

However, this time it had no effect.

“Didn't work?”

The moment the Scissor Girl was stunned, a plastic tentacle violently struck her in the stomach, sending her flying dozens of meters, where she happened to roll next to Han Fei.

The Scissor Girl stood up, clutching her stomach, and kept muttering, “What's going on? Why isn't the branded trash can working anymore?”

Han Fei, not far away, heard this and subconsciously offered, “Only the branded trash cans opened from environmental protection treasure chests are effective.”

“Is that so?”

The Scissor Girl turned to look at Han Fei, then, after a brief pause, said seriously, “Get out of here quickly…”

Before she could finish speaking, a plastic tentacle violently struck her on the head, smashing her into the concrete.

However, this blow, which would be fatal to an ordinary person, left the Scissor Girl unharmed.

She quickly stood up from the pit, picked up her scissors, and rapidly engaged the plastic tentacles, moving so fast that she left behind streaks of afterimages.

Han Fei had put distance between himself and the Scissor Girl the moment she was knocked down, hiding behind a stone pillar.

“Is the Special Guard Team really this strong? They're like superheroes.”

The Scissor Girl's speed was so fast that Han Fei's eyes could barely keep up. The scissors in her hand were even more exaggerated; concrete was like tofu in front of them, a single swipe creating a huge crack.

But even with such strength, the Scissor Girl was struggling against the plastic tentacles, completely overwhelmed.

Before long, many gruesome wounds appeared on her body, though strangely, they didn't bleed.

Han Fei gripped his branded trash can, wanting to help, but the tentacles swung too fast; Han Fei couldn't aim properly.

This was a battle between superhumans and monsters; ordinary people couldn't intervene at all.

More and more tentacles surrounded the Scissor Girl, and she went from barely fending them off to being completely thrashed.

The damage to her body became increasingly severe; not only was her left arm broken, but she also had a hole pierced through her chest.

The more Han Fei watched, the more anxious he became. He knew the Scissor Girl was fading; she would be defeated in a few minutes at most.

However, the giant Garbage Monster grew stronger with each fight. While thrashing the Special Guard Team, it still had the energy to hunt humans and continuously evolve.

The young boy with the hammer was gone, the muscular man was pinned under the Garbage Monster's foot, unable to move, and the thunder from the sky had stopped striking.

“The Special Guard Team actually can't defeat this monster…”

Han Fei gasped, unable to imagine what the city would become if the Special Guard Team suffered a crushing defeat.

“I'll take a gamble. Its attention isn't on me, so I should have a chance.”

Han Fei knew that if the giant Garbage Monster were to attack him, with the speed of those tentacles, it could take his life in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, Han Fei, who valued his life, had always hidden behind the stone pillar, not daring to make a move, fearing he might attract the monster's attention.

But now, with the Special Guard Team's defeat all but certain, Han Fei's only options were to go all out or try to escape.

However, he was so close to the monster's tentacles right now that escaping was very risky. He might take one step and be caught by a tentacle, then die a frustrating death.

Han Fei didn't want to die a frustrating death; he was going to go all out!

Slowly raising his right hand, the mini branded trash can rotated gradually under the control of his superpower, continuously growing larger.

“I hope it works.”

Looking at the Scissor Girl who was about to be dismembered, Han Fei controlled the branded trash can, aiming it at those tentacles.

The branded trash can rotated, and an invisible suction force acted on the tentacles.

This suction force seemed to carry some unstoppable rules; with just a slight pull, it tore off all the tentacles besieging the Scissor Girl and sucked them into the branded trash can.

“Performance +1123”

“Performance +1098”

“Performance +1255”
