182: Chapter 182 Military Support Arrives

"Huh? That's strange... Why aren't those police officers moving?"

"You're right..."

Although they had been dispersed by the police, the onlookers, driven by the fundamental principle of wanting to see the drama unfold regardless of the risk, remained two or three hundred meters away, holding up their phones to watch the scene. There were even quite a few TV reporters among them.

If it weren't for the few police officers tasked with dispersing the crowd, some of the bolder ones would have already rushed over.

Now, someone noticed something wrong because a burst of gunfire had sounded in the distance, but the gunfire quickly ceased...

Furthermore, they eerily discovered that the group of police officers in the distance were all standing in place, like marionettes that had lost their strings, standing there blankly...

"Ah! Blood!"

"There's a Dark Red Bat eating people!"

A cameraman accompanying a reporter, out of professional instinct, zoomed in and saw everything that was happening in the distance!

He shouted! He screamed!

The crowd was instantly in an uproar!

"You unscrupulous media people have such nerve, daring to spread rumors right in front of the police!"

"Exactly! Officer, arrest these unscrupulous media people!"

Although the few police officers responsible for dispersing the crowd were also filled with confusion, they still walked over.

"Comrade, spreading rumors will get you detained!"

"Officer, I'm not lying... If you don't believe me, look!"

After saying this, he handed over the camera lens, and the officer looked in the direction of the distance...

He really saw a Dark Red Bat eating people!

More and more police officers fell, but the officers who fell were all near the center. The officers on the perimeter blocked their line of sight, and only the camera crew had noticed this.

"What on earth is happening..."

An officer did not hesitate and decisively drew his pistol!

"Bang!"

He fired a shot into the sky!

The loud gunshot of the pistol did not make the police officers in the distance resume moving; they remained standing in place.

"He fired a shot! Is that officer crazy?"

"It seems something terrible has happened..."

The gunshot that rang out abruptly at close range startled the surrounding crowd, causing them to retreat a distance.

The few police officers snapped out of it and immediately began to disperse the crowd with a firm attitude.

"The situation here is extremely dangerous! Please leave quickly!"

"Anyone still within my line of sight after one minute will be detained and punished afterwards!"

Hearing the officer's final shout, the onlookers immediately scattered like birds and beasts!

...

"What should we do now... The Chief and the others are dying one after another!"

"I feel that even if we go over... we won't be able to change anything..."

"Damn it, are we just going to watch the Chief and our colleagues die like this?"

"Where on earth did this monster come from!"

The few police officers were discussing heatedly when suddenly, the roar of speeding cars appeared on the street.

Military reinforcements had arrived!

Upon seeing the military, the few police officers immediately informed the military regiment commander of the information they knew.

"Leader, you must save our fellow officers quickly!"

"Hmm, I understand. Rest assured, we will definitely rescue our fellow officers as soon as possible!"

After comforting the few police officers, the commander turned around and sternly ordered the communications soldier beside him.

"Go notify the City Defense Elite Squad and bring all the 'D' grade weapons from the warehouse!"

"Yes!"

He then looked into the distance, where more and more police officers had fallen.

Despite the grief in his heart, he still did not call anyone to go and rescue them, because he knew that if they just went over like that, it would only provide the "D-" grade bat creature with a few more meals.

Spiritual energy has appeared in the air of Blue Star for nearly a year, transforming the geographical environment of Blue Star and causing organisms to constantly evolve.

As the current masters of Blue Star, humans naturally have some research on this situation of biological evolution.

The Great Xia Scientific Research Department, combined with the classification of beast evolution levels previously sent to them by a mysterious organization, had long known quite a bit of information about beasts.

For example, only "D-" grade evolved creatures can speak human language and have the effect of Intimidation on other creatures, making other creatures unable to move.

The scene with the police officers now was exactly what it looked like to be under Intimidation, which is why the commander was able to instantly analyze that this Dark Red Bat was a "D-" grade evolved creature.

During the long wait, a few drops of sweat also appeared on his forehead.

Although their army had eliminated "D-" grade evolved creatures before, those were all in the wild. Now it was in the city, so they would definitely be affected.

"I hope the casualties won't be too high when the time comes..."

...

More than ten minutes later, a squad arrived here by truck.

The powerful aura exuding from their bodies was completely different from everyone else's because they were all elites in the spiritual energy cultivation system, with transcendent physical fitness and equipped with very powerful firepower weapons.

"Your mission is to spare no effort to eliminate the 'D-' grade evolved bat in the distance!"

"Yes!"

The dozen or so members of the squad quickly rushed into the distance, and in a flash of figures, they soon arrived at the entrance of the store.

At this time, the ground was covered with the mummified corpses of police officers, and very few were still standing. Seeing this, the dozen or so people were all enraged!

A strong man quickly approached the Dark Red Bat that was crouching on the neck of a police officer's corpse, sucking blood, and kicked it fiercely!

Boom!

A huge roar erupted! It sounded like the collision of steel, and the Dark Red Bat was kicked flying, soaring into the distance!

Someone from the elite squad shouted, "Comrades, leave quickly! Leave this monster to us!"

"Okay... you guys be careful..."

The few remaining living police officers said weakly, and then retreated into the distance.

"Squeak... interesting..."

The Dark Red Bat used the force to take flight, its pair of scarlet eyes overlooking the elite squad on the ground.

Its eyes revealed evil, greed, and great confusion.

Just now, it had been concentrating on tasting its food. Under its Intimidation, it was impossible for any weak creatures to intrude, unless these creatures were stronger than it or were beings of the same grade...

But in its sensing, these few monkeys were only slightly stronger than the previous ones, so how could they have broken through its Intimidation?

However...

"Squeak... you seem... even more delicious..."

The evil, chilling sound descended from the sky, making everyone's hearts tremble and their bodies turn cold.

"Damn it, you monster! Die already!"

Rat-tat-tat!

A burst of purple-blue sparks ignited from the muzzles of the firearms, and electromagnetic bullets shot rapidly toward the figure in the sky!

"Squeak!!!"

The Dark Red Bat's eyes were somewhat panicked; in this instant, it actually felt a sense of danger!

It flapped its wings to dodge...

A few seconds later, the Dark Red Bat in the sky regained its calm, its scarlet eyes overlooking below.

It stretched out its slender tongue and licked its blood-stained lips.

"Squeak... my speed... they are no threat..."

"Squeak... then become food..."

Whoosh!

It swooped down toward the elite squad on the ground!
