The monster was pinned to the ground, its body still struggling violently, but even with all its strength, it was difficult to escape the combined suppression of three adult men.
Currently, there were still two or three dozen people inside the Supermarket. The entrance had been sealed off, so the monsters outside couldn't get in. And there was only one monster inside the Supermarket, which had already been pinned to the ground.
Just as everyone slightly relaxed their guard, two crisp sounds, "Crack! Crack!" came.
The monster's head twisted backward at an angle beyond human imagination, biting the Construction Worker's hand.
The Construction Worker cried out in pain, immediately loosening his grip, allowing the monster to break free and instantly knock the other two people to the ground.
This unexpected change caused everyone to exclaim and retreat. Just as the monster was about to charge at the Eyeglasses Man, a young man in a black hoodie suddenly darted out, holding a wooden baseball bat raised high. With one precise swing, he smashed it into the monster's head.
Chen Xiao had seen this young man in the black hoodie before; it was the one he had bumped into upstairs. The monster was directly knocked to the ground by him, and the young man didn't stop. His expression turned ferocious and twisted as he continued to strike violently.
With a "crunch," the wooden baseball bat snapped. The monster was so badly hit that it couldn't get up for a moment, but it still hadn't lost its ability to move, continuing to writhe its body.
The young man in black threw away the broken baseball bat and quickly pulled out a hammer from his waist. Gripping the hammer handle with both hands, he actually leaped high, seemingly putting all his strength into this one hammer blow.
As the hammer descended, the monster's head instantly exploded. Blood and brain matter splattered in all directions. Everyone around was stunned, and a few couldn't help but vomit. Even Lin Sinan dry-heaved.
Chen Xiao's nerves had been in a state of high tension. At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he watched the monster warily, his mind racing.
He always felt that he had overlooked something very important, something that was vaguely present in his mind but he couldn't recall, as if an invisible hand was choking him. This feeling made him extremely anxious and brought with it a strong sense of unease.
The monster was now motionless, but the young man in black was still relentlessly smashing its corpse. His overly tense nerves had driven him into a frenzy.
It was the Construction Worker who reacted first, firmly grabbing him: "Stop it! It's already dead! It's already dead!" He said, shaking his shoulders vigorously.
The Eyeglasses Man nearby also reacted, stepping forward and tightly grabbing the young man in black's hand holding the hammer, to prevent him from hurting the Construction Worker.
The other people around also knew the situation was critical and no one was foolish enough to act like a 'saint' and criticize the young man in black for his excessive actions.
The madness in the young man in black's eyes gradually receded, and the hand swinging the hammer slowly relaxed under the Eyeglasses Man's control. But just as he came back to his senses, his peripheral vision caught sight of the bite marks on the Construction Worker's hand, still oozing blood.
Suddenly, he broke free from the Eyeglasses Man's grip like a madman and swung the hammer directly at the Construction Worker's head. The Construction Worker was startled and quickly raised his arm to block. Fortunately, the hammer handle was caught by his arm, and he was not injured.
"What are you doing!"
Two men who were closer quickly came to restrain the young man in black to prevent him from hurting the Construction Worker. Seeing the young man restrained, the Construction Worker quickly stepped forward again, wanting to snatch his hammer away, fearing he might hurt someone.
The young man in black had both hands held, unable to move. Seeing the Construction Worker approach again, he used the leverage of his restrained hands, lifted both feet, and kicked the Construction Worker two or three meters away.
At this point, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Calm down!" They thought the young man in black hadn't fully recovered his senses.
But the young man in black ignored them, struggling and shouting wildly: "He was bitten! He was bitten!"
The people around were somewhat confused by his words. The Construction Worker also looked at his bitten hand in confusion. No one knew why he was acting so terrified.
However, the young man in black's words struck Chen Xiao's mind like a bolt of lightning. He shifted his gaze to the monster's corpse, looking at the scars on its leg, and his heart pounded wildly.
He finally remembered!
This was... that driver!
He had also turned into a monster!
Before he could think further, a gasp suddenly came from behind him.
"Lili, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Lili!"
Chen Xiao turned around and saw the girl who had just been bitten on the hand lying in the boy's arms, her eyes rolling back, her body twitching uncontrollably, the wound on her arm rapidly healing, and her teeth and fingertips slowly becoming sharper.
Seeing this, the people around all backed away. The boy, however, was still holding her, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
"Get away from her!" Chen Xiao shouted at the boy, simultaneously moving his body, wanting to go forward and pull the boy away. Although he was relatively close, he was still a step too late.
The mutated girl suddenly lashed out, biting the boy's throat. Her sharp teeth instantly embedded into his neck, and blood gushed out.
She was already in the boy's arms, so the distance was too close. She almost just lifted her head and bit him. Even if Chen Xiao was faster, it would have been difficult to prevent such a close-range attack.
The bitten boy pushed the girl away in horror, while the mutated girl also pulled hard. Both sides exerted force simultaneously, and the boy's neck was instantly torn open, a truly horrific sight.
One girl screamed in fright, which attracted the monster's attention, and it pounced on her. The girl tried to dodge, but she had already retreated to a dead end in the Supermarket, with nowhere to escape. She was immediately knocked down and bitten, screaming repeatedly.
She cried for help, but no one dared to go save her now. Everyone understood that she was beyond hope; once bitten, even if she didn't die, she was beyond saving!
Screams were incessant, and the sound attracted the monsters to attack others. Everyone fled in panic, no one dared to confront the monsters, and the Supermarket instantly descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, the Construction Worker stood there blankly, looking at his hand. He seemed to realize something, and his body suddenly went limp, collapsing to the ground, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Chen Xiao made a decisive move, grabbing Lin Sinan and heading for the stairs. But a dark shadow suddenly rushed down from the stairs, moving incredibly fast. It was the security guard who had run in earlier.
It had also completed its mutation and had been attracted by the sound. Chen Xiao's hair stood on end, and he quickly pulled Lin Sinan to change direction and flee.
But Lin Sinan couldn't possibly outrun it, and Chen Xiao couldn't abandon Lin Sinan. Seeing the distance getting shorter and shorter, he pushed the bucket in his hand into Lin Sinan's arms, then drew his axe, turned around, and swung it back with all his might.
With a crisp "crack," the sound of bone breaking echoed. The axe directly cut into the monster's shoulder. The immense force caused its body to tilt, and it crashed to the ground.
