Sensing imminent danger, they turned and sprinted!
BAM!!!
A dark figure leaped out of nowhere, crashing fiercely into the iron door of the power room! The impact was so forceful that it bent the lock Frank Zhang had spent so long trying to pick!
The shadowy figure didn't seem to suffer any recoil, agilely springing from the now-warped door to land on all fours, accelerating as it chased them down!
Frank didn't dare look back; he tossed several small mechanical creations from his inventory, flinging them behind him to block the path of the shadow.
This was his last line of defense!
[Name: Hummingbird Mini-Drone]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Standard]
[Damage: Weak]
[Function: Low-altitude flight, firing tranquilizer darts]
[Requirements: Mechanical field skill at D-level]
[Note: The underdog of drones—if this counts as a weapon, then my mom's slap has better tranquilizing power and precision!]
Six hummingbird-shaped drones, each the size of a palm, flew out, hovering in formation. They immediately launched a volley of tranquilizer darts in the shadow's direction!
But the figure was too fast, dodging the darts with a nimble leap to the wall, where it ran a short distance before dropping back down.
Now, the six drones hovered just above its head!
Suddenly, arcs of electricity burst from the figure's body, snapping like whips at the drones.
BOOM—!
In an instant, the frail drones exploded from the electric surge. The shadowy figure's speed slowed briefly, but it quickly resumed the chase!
The two finally dashed out of the inpatient building!
"Ah!" Angela Yu cried as she felt a sudden sting in her hand, catching a glimpse of a flash of electricity in her peripheral vision.
It was catching up!
Without looking back, Angela blindly fired a few shots from the gun Hunter He had given her.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not a single shot landed!
"Call Luo Shu! Explain the situation! I'll hold it off for a moment!" Angela shouted, then spun around to face the approaching creature.
Taking a deep breath, her chest seemed to swell as if her ribs had vanished, inflating like a balloon!
The shadow closed in, preparing to devour her.
In that split second, Angela saw its face clearly—a black, hairless, half-human, half-feline face!!
It was hard to process. A cat's cute features, combined with a male human's, had turned into something grotesque, eerie, and nauseating!
The creature grinned gleefully as it lunged, baring sharp, jagged fangs.
Angela activated her skill, exhaling the breath she had drawn in with explosive force!
[Name: Landlady's Roar Technique]
[Type: Skill (Martial Art)]
[Effect: Inhale the air of the martial world, exhale with destructive force capable of leveling half a temple!]
[Damage: 300% of consumed spiritual energy, stronger and more sustained up close]
[Usage: Permanently learned]
[Requirements: Functional lungs, vocal cords, and a mouth]
[Consumption: 5% spiritual energy per second]
[Note: Sonic wave! Too strong! Hold on, or get knocked flat!]
She roared!
"Ahhh—!!!"
Angela unleashed a blast of compressed air from her mouth with impossible power. The cat-faced monster recoiled as the sheer force contorted its face, forcing its eyes shut! Its skin stretched and wrinkled under the pressure, and it was sent flying backward, crashing back into the hospital building!
The glass doors of the inpatient wing shattered under the force of the roar!
Meanwhile, Frank, now farther away, was dialing Luo Shu while running.
The call quickly connected.
Luo Shu's voice came on, "Hello, man?"
"There's a monster in the hospital attacking us!!" Frank shouted.
Luo Shu sounded more alert. "A monster? What does it look like? Is it alone?"
"Like a weird mix of a person and a cat! It's only one! And it generates electricity! Sparks are flying as it charges!" Frank blurted out.
Luo Shu pondered briefly. "Sounds like Pikachu."
Frank, exasperated, yelled, "It's not cute at all!!! Focus! It's a monster that looks like a mix of a person and a cat! Ugly, pitch black, and it's terrifying!"
Luo Shu reassured him, "Alright, hang tight, I'm on my way. Don't hang up."
Angela's Roar Technique had blown the monster back into the hospital, but she knew it hadn't been seriously injured.
This technique, a skill she acquired in a bizarre martial arts world, was meant to be powerful. However, her low spiritual energy reserves kept her from unleashing its full potential. She couldn't even roar down a common beast at this stage.
Angela turned to run toward Frank and shouted, "Did you get through? What did Luo Shu say?"
"He said he's almost here!" Frank replied.
Their commotion had roused many in the hospital; lights flickered on in the corridors and rooms.
Crash! Another shattering sound echoed!
But this time, it wasn't the Roar Technique's doing.
Angela's heart sank at the sound.
The cat-faced creature, crackling with electricity, had circled up to the second floor and burst through a window, lunging straight at Angela!
