Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 177 - 154: Going to Sea for Fishing

The training camp base building.

Outside, a torrential rain was pouring down and a fierce wind was howling, yet inside, it was terrifyingly quiet.

Crack—

Another earth-shattering lightning bolt struck, lighting up the pitch-black hall as bright as day.

At that moment, Aqiang suddenly realized that the creature resembling a "Water Demon" had already appeared a few meters away.

Slowly, it turned its head towards them, seemingly aware of the people who had mistakenly entered the Demon Cave.

In the darkness, its bulging popeye-like eyes flickered with an unsettling green light.

"Quick, close the door!"

The middle-aged man reacted the fastest, immediately grabbing for the door handle.

The monster suddenly went on all fours, making a "whoosh" sound as it rapidly leaped forward.

Bang clang!

The door that had just been closed was almost shattered into wooden planks upon impact.

Afterward, a webbed claw reached through the cracked door, grabbing the arm of Aqiang who couldn’t dodge in time.

Aqiang, scared out of his wits, was screaming for help.

However, the others, upon witnessing this, backed away with their faces full of horror and shock.

The door panel was torn further, and a fish-like ugly and terrifying head squeezed through.

Its mouth was agape, revealing sharp teeth and emitting a series of low growls.

It was indeed the man-eating Water Demon from the legends of Yong’an Island.

Bang!

Just as Aqiang was petrified with fear and the others were at a loss for what to do, a gunshot suddenly silenced both the screams and growls.

The body of the creature stiffened instantly, its eyes emitting a bright green light, and the humanoid face vaguely showing anger.

Then it released the claw gripping Aqiang’s arm and violently pulled itself back, pouncing towards some audacious attacker behind it.

Bang, bang, bang—

Subsequently, a series of gunfire, akin to the sound of popping beans, resonated in the hall.

It seemed someone was engaging in a fierce combat with the monster.

A few backpackers, slightly braver, approached the breached door, cautiously peering outside.

Amidst the darkness, flashes of gunfire erupted, as a group dressed in black combat suits entered the hall, guns in hand.

Their targets were not only the Water Demon.

As lightning struck again, illuminating the interior of building,

it revealed that behind it, there were many more non-human creatures with fish-like appearances.

Perhaps startled by the gunfire, they sprang out of hiding and attacked the unwelcome visitors.

Their eyes glowed green like bulbs, and with each leap, they could jump two meters high and four meters far.

They were exceptionally fierce, undaunted by gunfire unless hit by concentrated fire or in vital spots.

The combatants were not to be trifled with either, not only was their Gun Skill precise, but they were also physically formidable.

Some even wielded Daggers, engaging in close combat with the monsters that lunged at them.

They were like the most elite Special Forces in movies.

No, they were even stronger than Special Forces.

During the fight with the monsters, they exhibited speed and Strength that surpassed the onlookers’ understanding of reality.

One of the men with buzz cut even caught a monster’s thick neck with one hand and snapped its spine with a crack.

Hiss—

Watching the shocking scene unfold before them, Aqiang couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

The chaos within him had somehow settled down.

"We’re saved!"

The other backpackers also let out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the bizarre encounter with the monsters was just a brief scare.

Since rescue had arrived, everyone being human, there was seemingly no need to worry anymore.

Only a few minutes later, the gunshots gradually ceased.

Silence returned to the hall, with only the occasional thunder mixing with the sound of the wind and rain entering the ears.

A group of backpackers all gathered by the door, eyes wide, staring at the scene outside.

The gray-white floor tiles were covered with bullet holes, and countless bodies of monsters lay sprawled.

Green, viscous blood slowly flowed out, with a stench that nearly pervaded the entire hall.

Yet, those combatants, who seemed like Special Forces, did not show any casualties.

At most, some had sustained minor injuries, took out syringes from their medkits, administered injections, and quickly returned to normal.

Taking advantage of their pause and regrouping, the crowd quickly ran out of the duty room, shouting for help.

Seeing several soldiers aiming their guns at them, they frantically explained:

"We’re just ordinary tourists, not monsters!"

"Yeah, are you guys from the official military? This building is very dangerous, can you send us back to town first?"

"Ordinary tourists?"

Listening to the people’s babbling, the man with the buzz cut swiftly glanced at them.

He then raised his hand and made a gesture towards his men.

Upon receiving the order, the combatants immediately raised their guns and pulled the triggers.

Bang, bang, bang—

Gunfire flashed, and blood spurted.

What greeted these backpackers was the cold harvest of their lives by the bullets.

On the verge of death, they had no idea why these soldiers would shoot at them.

Humans and monsters lay intertwined, their red blood and dark green fluids gradually blending, forming a grotesquely terrifying scene.

Silence returned once more to the hall.

The only ones still standing were these mysterious soldiers, and a single backpacker.

That was none other than the middle-aged man who had been smoking in the duty room earlier.

He showed no fear in the face of his companions’ deaths, remaining completely indifferent.

He stepped forward, raised his hand to salute the man with the buzz cut, and spoke in a deep voice:

"Reporting to the commander, your subordinate has been observing here for six hours with no suspicious enemy activity detected thus far." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

That man with the buzz cut was exactly Luo Lie, who was leading the assault on the True Thought Society’s base.
