Chapter 0009: The Cry

The other leg of the giant insect swept across the ground, deeply penetrating the sand as it brushed against the edge of the intercom

However, he swam only a little over 10 meters before suddenly struggling and sinking into the water, never to resurface again

The insect's leg was pinned to his pants, and as long as the insect's leg did not lift, he could not escape, leaving the police in near despair

A group of people changed direction, and under Ye Han's leadership, they walked for more than 10 meters, at which point the ridge blocked the dock from view

The northern side of the island in the lake features undulating terrain, which is why the dock is constructed on the north side of the island; conversely, the southern side of the island has relatively gentle terrain, thus most of the recreational facilities on the island are located on the southern side of the lake island, including the only hotel on the island

The police officer stumbled and fell to the ground. Upon turning around, he was instantly filled with terror. Kicking his legs in a desperate attempt to retreat, he was unable to escape and instead drew the attention of the giant insect. Its long, segmented limbs shot out like lightning, piercing heavily between the officer's legs.

The giant worm has an enormous size; as long as one pays attention to avoiding the locations where the giant worm can hide, the possibility of being ambushed is negligible.

Although she could not clearly see whether the boat was a police vessel, she could at least see where the boat was located

Who knows if there are any giant worms hidden at the foot of the mountain

The third police officer emptied the bullets from his gun and was in a flurry trying to reload when he was directly pounced into the water by the third giant worm

The giant insect's attention was drawn to the intercom, and it surprisingly did not pursue further

"That's great!" Bai Xiaoting exclaimed as she excitedly embraced Professor Qin

The giant flesh worm suddenly coiled up and then sprang open like a spring, splashing large droplets of water across the surface.

Wu Liang was furious: "You still have the audacity to argue..."

The hearts of the crowd rose to their throats

Wu Liang on the mountain was taken aback, his face flushed and his neck thick as he grabbed Ye Han by the collar, saying, "What are you shouting for? What if you attract the insects!"

Bai Xiaoting bit her lip and grabbed Professor Qin's arm; Wu Liang, without a second thought, took off running, closely following Ye Han, wishing that his parents had given him two more legs.

Ye Han walked silently at the front of the line, her gaze alertly scanning every inch of the land in sight

"Zhi—Lao Liu, do you hear me? Respond!" A very unclear voice suddenly came through the intercom.

Zhang Yang instinctively took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, glancing at Bai Xiaoting, whose face was as cold as frost, before retreating to support Professor Qin's other arm: "Teacher, I will assist you!"

In the blink of an eye, the police boat had already climbed over three large, plump worms, each over a person's length, on both sides. Two police officers on the boat were shooting at the giant worms with handguns

Professor Qin, in his delight, shot a glare at his granddaughter: "How old are you still acting like a child? Can this old body of mine withstand your antics?"

The gazes of others towards Ye Han were also quite unfriendly

The last police officer gritted his teeth, accelerating the speed of the speedboat to its maximum. Suddenly, the boat turned sideways, just passing over the giant worm that had just entered the water, and the spinning propeller instantly sliced dozens of deep cuts, each more than a palm's width, into the body of the giant worm

Everyone stopped in unison, exchanging puzzled glances before shaking their heads in unison

Professor Qin nodded with a smile: "Alright, let us go down..."

Crossing the mountain ridge, several people spotted Ye Han holding a telescope. Wu Liang was anxiously rubbing his hands and stamping his feet around Ye Han, chattering incessantly: "How is it? Have we docked yet?"

Let us hurry down! Wu Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet he did not dare to run down the mountain alone

The police officer who fell into the water surfaced more than ten meters away, and upon turning back, was nearly scared to death, swimming frantically towards the island in the middle of the lake

Ye Han excitedly put down the telescope, suddenly turned around and said: "It is a police boat, the police have arrived!"

A barehanded police officer suddenly lunged at a colleague, attempting to catch the handgun, but unfortunately was a moment too late, causing the gun to graze his fingertips and strike the side of the boat before plunging into the lake

He has already alerted the police station that heavy firepower must be dispatched. Why are the police officers sent only equipped with handguns, and not even one per person?

Without a moment's hesitation, the police officer jumped off the speedboat and ran with all his might, not even bothering to pick up the radio that had fallen to the ground. Just over five meters away, an exceptionally hideous giant worm emerged from the water, landing heavily on the speedboat.

There are a total of four police officers on the ship, but only two of them fired their weapons. It is evident that the other two officers were not armed at all

Those who have struggled on the brink of death understand the value of survival more than anyone else

Ye Han swiftly snatched back the telescope: "Not good, it's a giant worm!"

Ye Han's heart instantly sank

"Run, take off your pants!" Ye Han shouted loudly, his voice echoing far across the dock. The police officer, startled, quickly unbuckled his belt, hastily removed his pants, almost taking off his underwear as well, and fled in a panic.

Professor, let us go down! Ye Han could hardly contain the excitement in her heart, laughing so much that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes

The police officer stared wide-eyed at the insect legs between his own legs, his complexion changing as if he had entered a dyeing workshop.

The insect leg pierced his pants, but did not injure his little brother; if the insect leg had pierced just one more centimeter... No, if it had pierced just half a centimeter more, he would have had to say a complete goodbye to his little brother.

Ye Han suddenly opened her eyes and, overjoyed, dashed back, exclaiming: "It's a ship, a ship has come!"

The fleshy giant worm was utterly indifferent to the bullets. One of them poked its head out, and its long, slender mouth instantly pierced through a police officer who was firing his weapon. The officer rapidly shriveled up at a visibly alarming rate, and his handgun slipped from his grasp

Ye Han remained silent, pressing and twisting with both hands, causing Wu Liang to lose his balance and fall to the ground, not even aware of how he had fallen.

The remaining police officers on the speedboat had no opportunity to assist their fallen comrades, and they drove the speedboat at full speed towards the island in the center of the lake, surprisingly hitting the jackpot and successfully reaching the beach

Let go! Ye Han's expression darkened

Is there a boat

Several people simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, as if the mountain ridge not only obstructed the dock but also kept the danger on the other side of the mountain

Bai Xiaoting laughed and said, "Grandpa is in good health, what does this count as?"

Professor Qin felt greatly comforted, his smile causing the wrinkles on his face to bloom like flowers

The calm surface of the lake is unobstructed, as a police speedboat with a white base and deep blue stripes cuts through the waves, swiftly heading towards the island in the center of the lake

Ye Han's steps suddenly came to a halt. She closed her eyes and perked up her ears to listen: "You all listen!" After losing sight, a person's other senses become more acute.

The police officer fell heavily onto the deck, while another giant insect loomed over him like a towering Mount Tai, before suddenly pouncing down. The officer barely had time to let out a sudden, chilling scream before falling silent.

Let me see, let me see! Wu Liang eagerly wanted to use the telescope, impatiently gazing at the surface of the lake

Professor Qin cautiously asked, "What are you listening to?"

The sound of two gunshots, "bang bang—", interrupted Professor Qin's words, causing the expressions of everyone present to change instantly
