On this smooth, grey-white membrane, no ears or eyes could be seen. There were no tentacles or breathing holes. How did it perceive the world? Hearing, vision or sound waves? This would determine how they should escape.

Xi Bei stuttered, “What… what to do?”

Lu Feng was silent. He walked to the window and reached out to push it. The window seemed to be frozen or rusted. When it pushed it the first time, it didn’t move. His arms became taut and force was exerted. Then the window made an extremely ugly squeaking sound and a small triangular gap was opened.

The black muzzle protruded from the gap but the colonel wasn’t aiming at the monster. It was at the opposite street. There was a slight noise—a silencer was used—that couldn’t be heard from beyond 10 metres away. The bullet left a fleeting silhouette on his retinas and the next moment, it hit the window of a building on the next street.

The bullets he used in the field were different from the ordinary humans used when judging humans. The warhead made of depleted uranium alloy had penetration and crushing strength on the armour-piercing level.

There was a loud noise as the entire glass broke and fell down to the ground. The monster’s movements paused. Lu Feng raised his gun and fired a few more times. Broken glass fell in the direction he aimed.

The monster did hear it and the creeping feet changed direction. It seemed to stop moving for a while before slowly moving toward the location of the sound. After three minutes, it stopped again, gave up on his direction and continued to walk toward where they were.

Xi Bei subconsciously stepped back, his face pale. “It… it… can you fight it?”

Lu Feng’s thin lips twitched slightly. He stared at the monster with narrowed eyes, his expression calm and terrible. The next moment, he reached out and removed the silencer. Then he pulled the trigger!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of blasts exploded violently in the area around the monster. In the city that was too quiet, the sound was as shocking as thunder.

The monster was stuck in place again but at that time, a sharp chirp was suddenly heard at the other end of the city.

Then a huge shadow rose from that direction. A hawk-like bird flew across the sky and stretched out wings that were dozens of metres in length, gliding faster than a bullet as it dived straight toward the white monster!

The monster made a high frequency scream as the white membrane cracked and dozens of thorn-like tentacles stretched out and tangled around the eagle’s beak.
