Chapter 692: Gunshot

*Pfft*—!

With a soft sound, the head of a Second-Order bodyguard was tossed up into the rain. He glared at the four towering silver monsters with a ferocious expression, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

He was the bodyguard who held the detonator. In the melee just now, he had tried to lure these silver monsters toward the second trap, but his strength was not as good as Xiao Wu's. He had only lured them half a street away when two silver monsters seized the opportunity and decapitated him from behind!

The explosive detonator rolled away on the ground in the distance, and the dripping blood splashed like a fountain. The two closest silver monsters were already covered in a blood-stained coat, terrifying and grim.

Huang Shuyue witnessed this scene with her own eyes, her face as pale as paper.

With just these three Second-Order bodyguards, it was absolutely impossible to stop six silver monsters. Even with the absolute numerical disparity, they couldn't even lure them into the trap... The crisis of death and the feeling of despair rushed toward her in the rain, making Huang Shuyue almost suffocate.

She instinctively wanted to move her legs, dive into the underground steps right next to her, and hide in the safe shelter. To escape this blood-soaked battlefield and the few silver monsters about to pounce on her...

But her reason told her that she absolutely could not move.

These silver monsters had been watching her. Once she dived into the underground shelter, it would be equivalent to exposing the location of the entire shelter. At that time, not only herself, but the fifty thousand refugees inside would also face slaughter!

You must know, if these silver monsters broke into the underground, the fifty thousand refugees would have nowhere to run, and the shelter would also be reduced to a bloody purgatory.

"Damn it... damn it!!" Another bodyguard fighting in a bloodbath was still desperately holding off two silver monsters, his eyes bloodshot.

"I'll fight you to the death!!"

He roared, his Divine Path aura erupting to its peak at this moment, sweeping through the sky of broken rain as he crashed into the two silver monsters. For a moment, he actually suppressed them, but it didn't last long before another blood-stained silver monster lunged from behind and cut off one of his arms with a blade.

The shrill screams echoed in the sky. The child who was peeking outside from the drain was also scared pale, his whole body trembling violently.

Huang Shuyue, standing at the entrance of the shelter, caught a glimpse of this scene. After seeing the small figure hiding behind the drain, her pupils slightly contracted... After a brief surprise, she looked at the child with a complex gaze.

This small drain connected the bloody, desperate battlefield with the comfortable, peaceful shelter. Two figures in different worlds and different fates looked at each other at this moment.

Looking at the child, Huang Shuyue's mind involuntarily recalled the young boy outside the city who had died before her eyes due to an infected wound.

At that time, she had brought a whole convoy of wealth but couldn't save the boy's life... Now, she had spent all her wealth, but she had the chance to save tens of thousands of lives.

Looking at those eyes filled with both terror and a child's purity, Huang Shuyue's body, which had been trembling with despair, suddenly calmed down.

The slaughter was approaching, despair was spreading, and unknowingly, this street had been dyed blood-red.

Huang Shuyue stood in the blood, like a lamb waiting for death. She had nowhere to escape... But even so, she squeezed a smile from the corner of her mouth and gently raised her fingertip to the child behind the drain, making a shushing gesture.

"Shh—"

……

"Miss Huang..."

In the shop across the street, Kong Baosheng's expression was extremely anxious.

Kong Baosheng had been hiding under a table in this shop since just now. When he was preparing to go to the shelter, he saw those two silver monsters kill Xiao Wu, which scared him into hiding back... It was precisely because of this that he wasn't exposed on the street like Huang Shuyue and the others, and the silver monsters didn't even notice his existence.

He watched as Huang Shuyue was intercepted by six silver monsters, and the bodyguards beside her died one after another. His heart jumped into his throat.

"What to do... what to do, what to do, what to do..."

Kong Baosheng wanted to help Huang Shuyue, but didn't know how... In the end, he was just an ordinary person.

"Isn't there anything that can attract the attention of those monsters?"

Kong Baosheng looked around, and after hesitating for a moment, he crouched down and crawled to the back of the shop, climbed over two walls, and returned to the courtyard of the Jinghong Building.

He stepped on the muddy soil, ran quickly back to the stage, and rummaged through a heavy wooden box with both hands.

Opera robes, makeup, spears, gongs... Large and small items were thrown all over the floor by Kong Baosheng, and finally, he pulled out a clockwork wooden horse he used to play with when he was a child...

Kong Baosheng stared at the clockwork wooden horse for a while, then frowned and threw it aside, letting out a long sigh.

He felt he was still too naive. How could the silver monsters that could destroy the street with a wave of their hands be attracted by a small broken wooden horse... Even fantasy novels wouldn't dare to write that.

"Is there no other way?!"

Kong Baosheng looked out the window. On the street not far away, the second bodyguard was also decapitated. Even though they had taken one silver monster down with them before they died, there were still five blood-stained monsters approaching the last bodyguard and Huang Shuyue like grim reapers.

Just then, Kong Baosheng seemed to see something, his gaze suddenly falling on the entrance of the opera house in the rain, on that detonator soaked in blood.

He froze in place.

In his mind, he immediately recalled the earth-shattering explosion just now, and the bodyguards who had been busy in the sugar water shop before that...

Kong Baosheng's fists clenched involuntarily.

……

A silver monster's body, which had been mostly shattered, slowly stood up from the pool of blood.

With the last bodyguard trading his life for one, the original six silver monsters had been reduced to four. Two of them turned their gaze toward Huang Shuyue, who was the only one left on the street, and walked straight toward her.

The other two silver monsters did not target Huang Shuyue; in their eyes, Huang Shuyue was already a dead person.

They dispersed to the surrounding streets, continuing to search for traces of the refugees bit by bit, and one of them was approaching the entrance of the shelter...

At this moment, Huang Shuyue was retreating under the approach of the two silver monsters. Her gaze passed through the gap between the two silver monsters and saw the silver monster behind that was about to reach the entrance of the shelter. Her heart jumped into her throat!

She saw the silver monster look around, then suddenly lower its head, its flat head appearing to "look" at the ground in front of the underground steps... The messy muddy footprints had been mostly washed away by the rain, but some traces still remained.

It slowly raised its head and "looked" in the direction of the underground steps.

Huang Shuyue knew she could never let that silver monster continue to advance. Her fingertips touched a touch of coldness at her waist, and she suddenly pulled out the revolver and pulled the trigger at the silver monster!

*Bang*—!!
