Chapter 6: Fierce Battle
I rely on!
Originally, there were two dim and dilapidated streetlights here, but as soon as Director Liang and the others appeared, the vampire instantly destroyed the lights with pebbles. Being a vampire, he possessed exceptional night vision, whereas Director Liang and the police did not.
As for attacking elsewhere, the self-healing ability of vampires is excessively abnormal, making them virtually indestructible, and their wounds stop bleeding shortly after and heal automatically, which is extremely abnormal
The three police officers were bewildered, shouting profanities as they fled towards the direction where Chen Taiyuan and others were located. This was their instinct, as they had just come from there, where their means of transportation were also located, along with their four other colleagues.
Now she has decided to implement a two-pronged blockade with four police officers, while she herself will encircle the other end, and the four police officers will carry out a strong firepower blockade at this end of the alley. Of course, the police officers may seem dispensable in her eyes, as she remains the main focus. She appears to be very confident in her own abilities
The other three police officers were almost paralyzed with fear, with only the bravest among them maintaining a semblance of composure, firing a shot that struck the vampire in the head. This act of shooting was indeed very risky, as the police officer who had been bitten was also on the opposite side, resembling a hostage. However, the situation was too urgent to consider such details.
Moreover, at the moment the vampire grabbed her, it also delivered a fierce kick to her thigh, causing her to tumble to the ground in a disheveled manner, making it quite difficult for her to even stand up.
"Fire! Fire!" A police officer snapped back to reality, loudly calling out to his companions. However, before he could finish his words, the vampire charged forward like a gust of wind, completely beyond reason. How fast was this? Seven seconds for a hundred meters, or six seconds?
Chen Taiyuan immediately widened his eyes: "Vampires are about to appear, and you have locked me here, leaving me to wait for death? You cold-blooded little woman, let me go!"
The vampire retracted his contempt and lunged forward to attack. Once he fully committed, Director Liang began to struggle somewhat. In other words, the actual strength of this vampire exceeded expectations. If the engagement were at a medium to long range, she might have had some advantage, but in close combat, she was still lacking.
Director Liang seemed to be in a good mood, leaning in with a smug expression to Chen Taiyuan's ear, and teasingly whispered: "Getting hands-on? Even if I, your elder sister, were to force myself on you, this little man, no one could say anything about it. To be honest, a handsome young man like you is really my type, and your physique is quite well-trained too"
Moreover, in the overcast sky where neither stars nor the moon can be seen, the instant the two streetlights go out, the darkness that ensues is extremely unsettling. Just at that moment, the vampire suddenly lunges forward, but unexpectedly, Director Liang reacts quickly and fires a shot directly at it.
Meanwhile, the nearby alley suddenly fell into darkness
The term "female rascal" is very apt.
In that fleeting moment, two shots struck the vampire. One bullet hit the abdomen, and the other hit the arm, yet the vampire merely swayed slightly, as if completely unaffected
The appearance of this criminal is exactly as described by Li Xiaofen, especially when he grins menacingly, his two sharp teeth are even more terrifying than Li Xiaofen's description. Only by being in the moment can one truly experience the fear of death closing in.
Director Liang proudly took out the large-caliber pistol and ordered the officer who had just mediated the situation to guard this place with three police officers, while she herself, accompanied by four police officers, entered the small alley ahead. According to the real-time monitoring report, the suspect had just entered this small street
Although she also took the opportunity to counterattack, landing a punch that left the vampire's face covered in bruises, it was evident that her injuries were more severe, and the situation was becoming increasingly dire
The shot was too hasty and failed to hit the target. As a result, in that fleeting moment, the vampire had already lunged with astonishing speed right in front of Director Liang
Thus, the four police officers across the alley encountered the most terrifying and darkest moment of their lives. At this moment, they finally believed that Li Xiaofen was absolutely right and had not deceived them at all
Chen Taiyuan, locked to the steering wheel, expressed his regret to the police: Your marksmanship has never been great, and even when you occasionally hit a target, it is not the most vital part of a vampire. Isn't this just asking for trouble
At that moment, a sudden and intense gunshot rang out from the alley ahead, and Director Liang encountered the vampire
This woman is truly strong
Chen Taiyuan nodded gently, thinking that this girl Li Xiaofen is quite righteous. Of course, this girl is also quite unfortunate at the moment
"Bastard, you've gone too far!" Director Liang gritted her teeth and shouted angrily. When this vampire attempted to take her life, she displayed extraordinary strength, at least not panicking, but instead leaned against the wall, using her large-caliber handgun to block the opponent's attack route.
With a tearing sound, the vampire clawed at her waist, ripping apart her windbreaker, and the fitted sweater underneath was also torn. Instantly, several bloody scratch marks appeared on her fair waist, shocking to behold
Chen Taiyuan turned his head and curled his lips, what a worthless woman this is, does she still have any shame left
The vampire assessed the situation and realized that he might not easily defeat Director Liang. However, if he delayed too long, he feared that more trouble would arise. Thus, in anger, he turned and lunged towards the four police officers at the other end of the alley. After all, these police officers were merely ordinary people.
While speaking, Director Liang ordered the four police cars beside him to hurry to the location. Naturally, Chen Taiyuan would also inevitably be taken to that place
As the most senior veteran detective on the scene, this old officer Luo possesses extensive experience and the best psychological resilience. He quickly adjusted his mindset and began shooting alongside the three police officers beside him
Damn it, what the hell is this thing
"What do you mean by this? When did I become a suspect? Wasn't it agreed that I would only cooperate with your investigation?" Chen Taiyuan maintained a semblance of restraint on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing profusely.
I hope Director Liang can deal with that monster. If that monster manages to escape to this side, we will handle it as it comes.
Chen Taiyuan felt annoyed: "A woman’s place, do not touch or act recklessly."
As he told Li Xiaofen, one must strike directly at the heart. Blood is the source of a vampire's power, and the heart is the pump that circulates the blood; if a vampire is struck in the heart, it is doomed. However, there is a concern that the police's guns may not even penetrate the ribs in front of a vampire's heart. These handguns lack sufficient power, and if one cannot accurately hit the heart through the gaps between the vampire's ribs, it would indeed be quite difficult to inflict fatal damage on the vampire
Director Liang, while handcuffing the other end to the steering wheel, coldly remarked: "Rest assured, once we capture that vampire, you will be released, it won't be long. However, don't expect these police officers to unlock it for you; these handcuffs are specially made by us (the 99 Bureau) and are not compatible with the keys for those low-end handcuffs they use."
Chen Taiyuan nodded and asked, "By the way, how is Li Xiaofen? She was the one who informed Director Liang about my matter, wasn't she?"
Before the vampire could finish speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the opposite side, rivaling his own. Immediately, Director Liang kicked out with one leg, striking heavily against his abdomen, the immense force causing him to double over and fly backward several meters.
The officer also pursed his lips, indicating helplessness: "Professor Chen, you are a university educator, a proper intellectual, do not stoop to the level of such a female ruffian."
His leaps and bounds are equally terrifying, each stride measuring approximately six to seven meters, and the key is that each step is generally the same—this is his constant speed state
Chen Taiyuan nodded and said: "I just can't stand the arrogant demeanor of such people, what is there to be proud of? Moreover, rummaging through my home and taking my belongings at will, this is akin to banditry."
Bastard, it's a monster... Retreat, quickly retreat!
"How could this be?" The officer said with a bitter smile, "She is in a worse situation than you; she was locked in the interrogation room early this morning. As for your information, Xiao Fen initially kept it hidden, and it was Director Liang who gradually uncovered it through phone records and other information."
The four police officers on the scene immediately became tense, drawing their pistols and preparing for action. Chen Taiyuan originally intended to instruct them to aim for the heart if they encountered a vampire, advising against attempting to strike the skull, as the vampire's body was exceedingly robust, and ordinary bullets could hardly penetrate their hard skulls
At times, in order to better evade bullets and reduce the target area, he would even crouch down and move on all fours. In this state, he resembled a nimble cheetah, visually delivering an even more formidable impact
Once they reached the general area, how to proceed became a problem. Director Liang not only had to consider how to deal with the vampire, but also worried that Chen Taiyuan might take the opportunity to escape. In her eyes, perhaps Chen Taiyuan's value was even greater than that of the vampire
Clank! A handcuff was fastened to Chen Taiyuan's left hand
For vampires to sustain prolonged battles, they must rely on human blood to provide sufficient energy. This is one of the significant side effects of the C virus, which cannot be overcome
"Brother Lao Luo, cover us with gunfire, there really is a monster!" a police officer shouted while running this way
It is merely a small dark seed; with me here, you will naturally not die. Furthermore, watch your mouth and do not challenge my limits of tolerance. Director Liang glared fiercely at Chen Taiyuan and pinched his face.
Little girls, go die... ah!
Snap! This terrifying creature seized the police officer who had just screamed, grinning savagely and cruelly, and bit down!
After she left with the people, the officer who had just tried to mediate awkwardly handed a cigarette to Mr. Chen Taiyuan, but Mr. Chen does not smoke. The officer sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, my surname is Luo, just call me Old Luo. In fact, we rarely encounter such difficult individuals, it's quite a headache. However, this person indeed has a significant background, even our director does not dare to offend her. So please bear with it a little, endure for a moment and the situation will calm down."
"I hit it! Right in the head!" This exclamation from the police officer was filled with surprise, but the astonishment quickly faded. For the three of them were horrified to see the vampire slowly raise its head, blood dripping from its mouth, its eyes glowing red as it sneered, "Go ahead and shoot! Just wait, I will drain each of you one by one."
Chen Taiyuan originally wanted to become a science popularization expert, but after some thought, he decided against it—people already suspected that he had a connection with vampires, and if he were to discuss such topics, it would be tantamount to confessing without being asked.
However, every time the vampire is shot, it merely trembles all over for a moment, yet it always continues to run unharmed. Meanwhile, the gunshot wounds heal at an astonishing speed, which is truly remarkable
