The chase lasted for more than 10 minutes. The three bird-type mutant beasts cleverly avoided the city government’s office area and the city center, circling above the suburbs instead.

One of the teams of military warriors who were chasing after them used various tactics to try to force them to come to a stop.

“Damn it!” Su Chengwang cursed loudly after another fruitless attempt.

He was a warrior who could release an internal force with the ice attribute. If his internal force hit the bird-type mutant beast, it would slow down its flying speed. However, the mutant beast was not stupid and kept its guard up against him.

Cao Zhengjun suppressed his anger and said loudly, “Calm down and continue to look for an opportunity.”

His internal force attribute was that of flames with an explosive power. However, since the flying mutant beasts were deliberately avoiding a fight, no matter how powerful his attacks were, it was useless if he could not hit them.

Most of the houses in the suburbs were low-lying. Even if the military warriors had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, the time it took for them to leap hundreds of meters into air was sufficient for the flying mutant beasts to change the direction of their flight.

“Sun Changbin, your internal force that can create a potent poison is very suitable for dealing with those flying mutant beasts that are three to four meters long. The rest of us will try our best to stall them,” Su Chengwang suggested with an anxious expression.

When Sun Changbin heard this, his movements slowed down.

What Su Chengwang said made sense. Being held back by the flying mutant beasts was not a solution.

The poison created by his internal force would kill any bird-type mutant beast below the warrior realm if it came into contact with it. He should use it to deal with the bird-type mutant beasts that were three to four meters long and seven to eight meters long.

Cao Zhengjun remained rational and objected, “That’s not appropriate. Although the flying mutant beasts do not have strong physical defense, if we lose just one person, they are very likely to take the risk to join in the killing of civilians.”

If a bird-type mutant beast at the warrior realm could ignore the military’s forces, it could completely destroy the entire East Lake City.

“Then what can we do?” Su Chengwang asked angrily.

He naturally understood this principle. In a four-on-one situation, the flying mutant beasts would not dare to stay still for even a moment. If there was one less person, the situation might be different.

“Increase the intensity of your attacks. I’ll continue to urge the heads of the martial arts clans and schools,” Xue Haichuan said in a low voice. His internal force attribute increased his body’s strength, and he often worked together with others as a human shield. He was the least useful in this kind of pursuit.

With that, he took out his special communication device and made a call.

“Alright!” The other three nodded.

They released all of their internal force and took turns to leap up from the ground to attack the flying mutant beast in the air.

In an instant, wherever the flying mutant beast flew past, flames soared into the sky, poisonous fog spread out, and a frost appeared. Various materializations of internal force appeared in midair.

The sound of internal force being released in the air echoed throughout the entire East Lake City. It was comparable to continuous attacks from a human cannon.

All the people hiding in the air raid shelters, homes, and bunkers revealed looks of despair when they heard the tremors. Those with weak willpower were so scared that they lost control of their bladder.

In the chaos, unlucky flying mutant beasts of less than 10 meters long that were continuously struck by the aftershocks from the internal force explosions.

Some of them suddenly turned into ice statues and fell to the ground, the statues shattering into small pieces of flesh wrapped in ice.

Some of them instantly turned into pools of black water. When the black water splashed onto the ground, it made a sizzling sound and dissolved the ground into huge holes more than 10 meters wide.

There were also those who spontaneously combusted and turned into fireballs that fell to the ground. Along the way, they ignited other combustible objects, causing one fire after another.

The destructive power of a battle between warriors was extremely high. Even if the military warriors tried their best to control it, it would still cause immeasurable damage to East Lake City.

The three flying mutant beasts did not take any risks. They only led the military warriors back and forth, indirectly destroying everything in their path.

On the top floor of the building the Chen family’s house was in, in the Jinghu district,

Chen Yiming stared nervously at the three flying mutant beasts that were more than 10 meters long and the flying mutant beasts that were seven to eight meters long.

Chen Yiming let out a long breath and muttered to himself, “The situation has basically stabilized. After these bird-type mutant beasts that pose more of a threat were held back from reaching the city government office area and the city center, they no longer dare to approach these two areas casually.”

After this matter, the idea of expanding the company as soon as possible surged into his mind.

At this stage, the Yiming Detective Agency only had some intelligence gathering capabilities. Its combat strength was still too weak. In such a disaster that could destroy a city, it could not even protect itself.

At this moment, two middle-aged men leaped over the outer wall of the district and used the eaves of the building to reach the top floor.

Chen Yiming sensed that someone had jumped onto the roof. He turned around and saw two middle-aged men wearing the guard uniforms from the Wang clan’s village.

They were Wang Shiyuan and Wang Rongshan, whom Chen Yiming had seen on the many times he went to the Wang clan’s village to buy cultivation resources for Chen Yingying.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Yiming asked.

“Wang Bowen sent the two of us over to help you,” Wang Shiyuan explained.

“At a time like this…” Chen Yiming said doubtfully.

He was interrupted mid-sentence.

“The Wang clan has their own ways of taking care of themselves. Don’t worry,” Wang Rongshan said calmly.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming recalled some incidents from the past.

He was able to help Chen Yingying buy a lot of rare mutant beast meat from the Wang clan’s village.

When Lin Yixuan was announced as the next head on the day of his return, Wang Bowen did not look disappointed at all.

Chen Yiming had thought that Senior Brother Wang was being magnanimous, but it seemed like the situation in the Wang clan’s village wasn’t just what it seemed on the surface.

“Come with me.”

Chen Yiming led Wang Shiyuan and Wang Rongshan down the stairs to the 12th floor and returned to Room 1203 where the Chen family was.

“Dad, Mom, open the door.”

Soon, the burglar-proof door opened, and Father Chen, Mother Chen, and Chen Yingying appeared at the door with anxious expressions.

Without waiting for Father Chen and Mother Chen to speak, Chen Yiming made the arrangements.

“Pack up some daily necessities. We’ll move to a nearby air raid shelter immediately.”

Father Chen and Mother Chen nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

They had actually been extremely nervous since the air raid siren sounded.

The 12th floor was nearly 40 meters above the ground. From the floor where the Chen family was located, they could clearly observe the situation in a part of East Lake City.

At a glance, one could see countless large flying mutant beasts wreaking havoc in the city, destroying everything in their path.

Therefore, even if Chen Yiming reassured them repeatedly, the tall building didn’t give them any sense of security. The best place to go was the underground air raid shelter.

In less than a minute, Father Chen, Mother Chen, and Chen Yingying came out with their backpacks. Clearly, they had already made preparations.

The group quickly arrived at the best-positioned air raid shelter in the city center.

The air raid shelter was set up under a large square. The tall buildings around it were quite far away, so even if they collapsed unexpectedly, it wouldn’t affect this place.

At this moment, there were more than ten burly men in uniform guarding the entrance of the air raid shelter. Nearby, thousands of ordinary people were stopped from entering.

“This is troublesome,” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

The reason why he didn’t bring his family to hide in the air raid shelter from the start was that there were too many people in the air raid shelter, so it would be far more comfortable for them to stay at home.

Secondly, he was a warrior candidate on the surface. It was impossible for him to hide with ordinary people when the city was in danger of being destroyed. Moreover, he was worried about leaving his family alone in the air raid shelter.

Third, most ordinary people would rush to the air raid shelters immediately. He was not a person with special privileges, so he might not be able to secure entry for his family.

Even though he was worried that they might be stopped outside, Chen Yiming still led the way and gave it a shot.

At this moment, Zhong Tianyang was leading more than 10 team members to manage the air raid shelter. He was a member of the city guards and was the captain of the third brigade.

When he saw Chen Yiming walking over, his body tensed up and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It had been less than an hour since Chen Yiming had severely injured Lin Yixuan, the eldest senior brother of the school.

However, his actions had already been noted by the city guards. All the captains of the city guards had immediately received the news that he was a dangerous person with a vicious personality.
