Chapter 29 Hideous Heart in Despair
"Officer, officer, you have to stop them!" The brother of the victim, who was bitten to death by Pill, sobbed, climbing up from the ground toward the female officer.
Just now, while climbing toward the hole in the ceiling along with others, he failed. He was kicked down by the nasal-voiced man and tragically became a stepping stone for others to climb over.
Even though the sense of justice was strong in her heart, the female officer felt a hint of sorrow at this moment. Since encountering these three individuals, she had been protecting them all along. But what about them? Not only did they not help her when her life was in danger, but now they made her shield them from danger, showing no regard for her life.
She thought, 'Is my sacrifice truly worth it for such people?'
However, her ingrained thoughts and professional ethics made her still stand in front of the bathroom door. Her gun had been taken by William, leaving her to face three unknown creatures bare-handed.
The three men, who only knew how to escape, were not providing any light for the female officer at this moment. So, it was already dark here. If it weren't for a mobile phone left on the ground emitting some light, the female officer would have faced these monsters in complete darkness.
After the terrifying hissing sound, three large lizards with gray lumps on their bodies launched an attack.
The largest one among them clapped twice on the floor and then leaped into the air. Its mouth opened toward the female officer, and a red mass shot out, accompanied by a whistling wind and a foul smell, moving at an exaggerated speed.
The female officer, who had been trained professionally, accurately anticipated the danger. At the very dangerous moment, she tilted her head to the side, and the three-foot-long tongue brushed past her face, hitting the half-open bathroom door with a thud, instantly creating a large hole in the wooden door. Wood chips flew everywhere, hitting the bathroom wall and making a popping sound.
At the same time, the other two large lizards were not idle. They swung their tails, which were as thick as an adult man's fist, attacking the female officer's legs.
The female officer sidestepped and kicked the lizard that initiated the attack, causing it to scream and fall back. However, the tremendous recoil force also forced her to step back into the bathroom, clearing the doorway.
The two lizards rushed into the bathroom, with one pouncing on the female officer and the other charging toward the few men still climbing up.
With a cry, the victim's brother was bitten on the waist by one of the lizards. The lizard shook its head, tossing the man's body in the air. The unfortunate man slammed into the wall, leaving a bright red bloodstain. As he fell to the ground, he drew his last breath.
The large lizard did not spare him. A fleshy red tongue shot out from its mouth, directly piercing the man's abdomen, coiling inside and hooking out a piece of kidney, bringing it back to the lizard's mouth.
Perhaps the fresh food stimulated it. This large lizard lifted its head, emitting a roar of enjoyment. It then jumped onto the man's body, its tongue continuously shooting out, piercing the man's body and pulling out chunks of flesh.
Seeing its companion feasting, the other lizard gave up attacking the female officer after several futile attempts and leaped to an astonishing height, biting down on Leon's right leg, who had already climbed to the edge of the hole. With a scream, Leon was pulled down and fell to the ground.
Since it was a stadium bathroom, the ceiling was not very high, about seven feet. An ordinary person could touch the ceiling with a jump. So when Leon fell, it wasn't too bad. But before he could struggle to stand up, the lizard's sharp claws had already ripped open his chest, and its large mouth plunged into his body!
What was live flaying? This was live flaying!
Leon's screams reached a peak of misery before he fell silent. He stared with wide eyes and a stiff neck, watching the monster eat his stomach, intestines, liver, and kidneys. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment. His gaze gradually lost focus, then he revealed an expression of relief, passing away.
The nasal-voiced man peeked out from the hole. Seeing that two companions had already died and observing the female officer fighting while retreating under the hole, he directly placed a board over the hole.
The female officer had a look of joy on her face when she saw him. The situation now was that two of the lizards were busy eating and didn't pay attention to her. She only had one opponent left, and with her skills, she could hold on for a while. As long as the nasal-voiced man seized the opportunity and pulled her up, she could instantly climb up the hole and escape from this enclosed bathroom.
But reality shattered her hopes. Instead of a helping hand from her companion, she was met with a cold wooden board.
She remembered a joke.
When in danger, one didn't need to run faster than the danger, just faster than one's companion.
The nasal-voiced man's intention was clear. He wanted the female officer to hold back these terrifying lizard monsters here, giving him time to escape.
Under normal circumstances, this not-so-heavy wooden board would not have any effect. She could push it aside easily. But now, facing three lizards covered in lumps, with sharp claws and long, spiky tongues, this wooden board directly meant the female officer's death!
The female officer roared in anger, as if venting her anger at being betrayed by her kind. She punched the lizard attacking her, but the lump was very hard. It only caused her hand to bleed, and the only effect was to make the monster retreat a bit.
The lizard that had been eating had already finished sucking the man's brain. It slowly approached, shaking its head. The female officer suddenly found herself facing two enemies.
She felt despair. One large lizard was already challenging. With two together, she might not last a minute.
She thought, 'Am I going to die?'
The female officer remembered the rigorous training she had received over the years, never expecting to die here before fully utilizing these skills.
She hated that nasal-voiced man. The person she had once saved had blocked her escape route. She also hated William. If he hadn't taken her gun, she might still have had a fighting chance now. At least she could have died with dignity.
As the third lizard also closed in, the female officer thought that she couldn't survive today. She shouted with all her might and then prepared to rush over and fight these monsters!
But just at that moment, a voice suddenly came from above. "Hey!"
She looked up and saw that the piece of wooden board that had crushed her hope had been moved aside, revealing William's face.
She had never thought a man could be so handsome.
"Silly police, come up!" William reached out his hand toward the female officer.
