Three crisp gunshots rang out, and the heads of the three mutated dogs exploded like watermelons, their massive bodies tumbling and crashing to the ground due to inertia.
On the third-floor terrace, Su Hui held a sniper rifle with a long barrel and a precision scope.
He didn't fire wildly like the girls downstairs; he simply observed the chaotic battlefield below with a cold eye.
With the system's scanning function activated, and the clear, data-driven annotations ensured that no subtle movement could escape its notice.
Only when the horde of zombies includes extremely fast, elusive monsters that can briefly conceal themselves and pose a great threat to the girls, will this happen.
Or when that thick-skinned, abomination-like mutant that crashed through the wall roared as it tried to assault the main building of the villa.
Only then would he slowly raise the muzzle of his gun and load in a special ammunition that shimmered with a faint energy glow and was enhanced by source crystals.
"puff!"
A muffled, almost inaudible gunshot rang out.
The high-speed "stalker" suddenly stopped moving, and the next second, its entire body seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, turning into countless fragments.
The other "Abomination," which was about to swing its giant arm and smash into the villa wall, had its huge head vanish instantly, and its massive body crashed to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.
Every shot Su Hui fired was precise and deadly; the gunshots were muffled, yet incredibly powerful.
He was like a calm chess player, firmly controlling the rhythm of the entire battlefield. At the most critical moment, he eliminated the pieces that posed the greatest threat to the defense line, relieving the pressure on the three girls downstairs and ensuring that the defense line would not collapse.
The battle entered a fierce stage.
The villa's courtyard had been completely turned into a bloody mess, with severed limbs, foul-smelling blood, and monster corpses piled up everywhere.
The strong smell of blood and gunpowder mixed together was nauseating.
Gunshots, explosions, and the roars of monsters continued unabated.
Under Harley's guidance, Tina and Mary became more and more skilled at shooting, and their teamwork gradually improved.
Although their faces still showed tension and fatigue, and their arms ached from continuous shooting, they were able to clear out the ordinary monsters that kept pouring into the courtyard relatively effectively.
Golden bullet casings rained down from their gun barrels, covering the ground beneath their feet, and the barrels became scorching hot from continuous firing.
In the darkness in the distance, Warden watched the fierce battle unfolding in the direction of the villa through the live footage transmitted by the drone, and the sinister smile on his face gradually faded.
He originally thought that with this massive horde of zombies, he could easily wear down the people inside.
He hadn't expected the villa's defensive firepower to far exceed his expectations.
Those three women, whom he considered mere playthings, displayed remarkable fighting prowess, proving far from the easily defeated women he had imagined.
Especially that somewhat crazy blonde girl, her marksmanship was ruthless and precise, and she was also ruthless in her attacks. The other two, who looked weak, were also able to withstand the pressure and continue to output damage.
With Su Hui's control of the situation, they actually managed to hold on for a while.
"interesting…"
Warden licked his chapped lips, his crimson pupils burning with an even more greedy and cruel flame.
He had to raise his assessment of the yellow-skinned monkey's strength once again.
But then, an even stronger sense of greed and cruelty surged into his heart.
The more they resist, the more interesting it is to conquer them!
"Looks like I'll have to get involved myself."
Warden grinned maliciously, deciding he would no longer stand idly by.
He growled a few times into the walkie-talkie.
Soon, several smoke grenades were fired from a distance, landing precisely around the villa.
"Chi chi chi——"
Thick, pungent gray smoke quickly spread, soon enveloping the entire villa courtyard in a blur and greatly obstructing the shooting line of the second floor.
Then,
Warden grinned a grotesque smile, his massive, twisted body silently merging into the chaotic horde of corpses.
His mutated body exuded a special aura that caused low-level zombies and dimensional monsters to instinctively avoid him and not attack him.
Using the monsters as cover and the smoke as a shield, he moved silently like a venomous snake in the shadows, approaching the main building of the villa and searching for a blind spot in its defenses.
Third floor terrace.
What Warden didn't know was that
The smoke did nothing to block Su Hui's system scan, and his figure was clearly visible in Su Hui's "field of vision".
[Name: Warden Clark (Variant)]
[Level: 18 (In the process of dimensional energy erosion)]
[Health Points: 3765/3800 (Slight Corrosion)]
【Strength: 32】
[Physique: 38]
[Agility: 25]
[Mental State: 15 (Confused)]
[Status: Aberration (Muscle Enhancement, Pain Reduction, Low-Level Monster Intimidation), Greed, Brutality]
Threat Level: Medium
With all attributes around 30 points, it is indeed an overwhelming force for ordinary people or beginner awakeners.
But in Su Hui's eyes, it was still not enough.
Watching Warden, like a clown, naively traversing the horde of zombies, Su Hui's lips curled into a cold smile. His calm gaze was as if he were watching a predatory prey step into a carefully laid cage.
He slowly lowered the sniper rifle in his hand and gripped the long sword [Steel Slash] at his waist again.
The familiar touch came from the cold hilt of the knife.
The warm-up is over.
Su Hui prepared to personally join the fray and stretch his muscles.
However, just as Warden was about to approach the base of the villa wall, preparing to launch a surprise attack from a blind spot in the surveillance and shooting,
A sudden change occurred!
In the far north of Beverly Hills, in the direction of the Santa Monica Mountains Nature Reserve, several extremely dazzling flashes of light suddenly erupted in the pitch-black night sky!
call out--!
call out--!
call out--!
Several objects, trailing long, blazing white flames, streaked across the snowy night sky like shooting stars from hell!
That's... a missile?!
This sudden turn of events caused Su Hui and Warden, who were about to take action, to pause simultaneously.
Before everyone's eyes, the missile flew over the villa and hurtled precisely towards the Hollywood Hills to the east.
boom--! ! !
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The next second, a series of deafening explosions erupted from the direction of the Hollywood Hills on the horizon.
Huge orange-red fireballs rose one after another into the air, instantly melting the snow in that area and forming several ominous mushroom clouds that slowly rose.
The terrifying flames illuminated almost half of the Los Angeles night sky.
The powerful shockwave arrived a moment later, and even from a considerable distance, it caused a clearly audible tremor in the ground beneath the villa, making the villa's windows buzz.
It was as if the entire earth trembled under the terrifying explosion.
However, this is just the beginning.
In the epicenter of the explosion, before the flames had completely dissipated, an extremely eerie and chilling purple light suddenly burst forth from the blast's core.
The purple light was filled with ominousness and eeriness, as if some forbidden existence had been forcibly awakened.
Then,
It's like the end of the world is happening again!
The pitch-black sky above the explosion point, like a fragile curtain, was instantly torn apart by an invisible force!
A huge, twisted, bottomless purple rift appeared out of nowhere, stretching across the night sky.
The depths of the rift are even deeper darkness, as if connected to some unknown, malevolent dimension.
A rich purple light poured out from the crack, spreading rapidly like an eerie aurora, dyeing the night sky, which was originally illuminated by the firelight, with an eerie and ominous purple hue.
An invisible yet extremely powerful energy fluctuation, centered on the strange purple crack, spread rapidly in a ring shape across the entire Los Angeles area, like ripples spreading across a calm lake caused by a boulder.
This energy is filled with a chaotic, primal, and violent aura, mixed with an indescribable, soul-stirring attraction originating from the depths of dimensions.
This energy surge swept over the mountaintop villa, stirring up the snowflakes falling from the night sky, making them dance even more wildly as if being churned by an invisible giant hand.
"Roar--!!"
"Ow-!!"
The first to be affected were the monster horde besieging the villa.
They were like cold water thrown into boiling oil, instantly causing a commotion.
The monsters, who had initially been quite focused on their objectives, instantly descended into extreme frenzy and chaos the moment they came into contact with the purple energy fluctuations.
Some of the monsters became even more bloodthirsty and ferocious, no longer charging at the villa, but instead frantically tearing apart their own kind. Black blood and rotting flesh splattered everywhere, and the scene briefly spiraled out of control.
Another group of monsters, including some new dimensional monsters that had never appeared before and whose aura was even colder and more powerful, seemed to have been summoned by some silent force. They stopped attacking and turned around, staggering or crawling towards the alluring purple rift in the east.
The once crowded courtyard suddenly became chaotic, with the roars of monsters killing each other mixed with the sound of footsteps moving into the distance.
Even Warden, who was hiding among the horde of zombies and preparing to launch a sneak attack, was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
Several of the low-level monsters that had previously ignored Warden lost control and roared as they pounced on him!
"Damn it!"
With a roar, Warden's thick, mutated arm easily tore the attacking zombies to shreds. However, his deformed body was also struck by a high-voltage current under the impact of this energy tide, leaving him stiff and paralyzed.
He could feel the power within him, originating from dimensional erosion, beginning to boil and surge uncontrollably.
An incredibly strong desire, stemming from his very life instinct, surged from the depths of his soul.
His gaze involuntarily became fixed on the purple crack in the eastern sky, which exuded a deadly allure.
There, it was as if something was calling to him, drawing him in.
at the same time!
Within the area surrounding the villa, some entities that had previously lurked in the shadows were also disturbed by this energy tide.
These newly emerged dimensional monsters are clearly more powerful and terrifying than ordinary dimensional monsters and Warden. They seem to be attracted by the energy tide of the purple rift and are beginning to stir in the darkness.
[Warning: A high-concentration energy source from an unknown dimension has been detected. The energy fluctuations are violent, and the spatial structure is unstable. Host, please proceed with caution.]
[Warning: Multiple high-energy individuals have been detected active in the surrounding area.]
The system notification sounded in Su Hui's mind.
At the same time, he also felt the power contained in the fluctuations, which resonated with the energy within his body.
But soon Su Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mental power spread out like invisible tentacles, clearly sensing those newly appeared, powerful monsters lurking in the shadows.
The situation is getting out of control.
Warden suppressed the restlessness of the energy within his body and his intense craving for the purple rift.
He glanced at the monsters, which were in chaos and even started attacking each other, and then looked in the direction of the villa.
He keenly sensed that several powerful auras had appeared nearby, auras that made even him feel uneasy.
Compared to his greed in capturing Su Hui and those women, the secrets and sources of power that might be hidden behind the unknown purple rift in the east, as well as the sudden increase in the level of danger around him, were clearly more tempting and more daunting to him.
Weighing the pros and cons only takes a moment.
The anger and greed that arose from the killing of his men and the abduction of his woman were temporarily suppressed by his desire for unknown power and his fear of potential danger.
