Hu Hu was stunned upon hearing his words. Then, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ran over, but when he reached the corner, where could he see the other person’s shadow?
By now, Zhang Xiaoman had already dashed through the distance between two buildings, his figure long since vanished behind another one.
"There are too many government people here, and with one monster still left to find, I won’t be able to locate it anytime soon. Since that’s the case, I might as well leave... Ah, it’s just a pity to lose the points from that Corpse Demon earlier..."
He shook his head and then summoned an Anti-gravity Car using his wristband, planning to take Tang Yuan home first.
A few seconds later, as a ripple spread through the air, the Anti-gravity Car, which had its invisibility mode turned off, appeared before his eyes.
In the car, Tang Yuan was staring at him blankly.
Zhang Xiaoman dispersed the effects of the Eternal Trace Veil and flashed her a smile.
"Tang Yuan, don’t be afraid, it’s me."
At this sight, Tang Yuan’s eyes widened again, and she said somewhat stammeringly to the person in front of her:
"You... it’s really you, Zhang Xiaoman! What, what on earth is going on here?"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and shook his head, saying, "Sister-in-law is truly sharp. But as for the specifics, let Brother Hero explain to you when he returns."
He was quite familiar with Tang Yuan, having known Brother Hero for so many years, and having spoken to his girlfriend since their university days.
Just as he was about to get on the vehicle, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from afar. By the time the noise reached here, it had become very faint, impossible for anyone else to hear.
However, Zhang Xiaoman had enhanced his Constitution and was still faintly able to catch some of the activity. He turned his head towards the source of the sound and found that it was coming from Changming Tower.
"Changming Tower, could it be the last Corpse Demon?"
He murmured softly to himself, then got into the vehicle, activated the invisibility mode, and flew towards that location.
"Tang Yuan, I’m afraid we can’t go back just yet. There should be one more monster there."
At this moment, Tang Yuan did not know what to say, so she just nodded blankly.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t take long to fly there, and when he arrived above Changming Tower, he saw a Corpse Demon rampaging through the crowd below.
It seemed that the incident had occurred so suddenly that the crowd in the area had not been evacuated, allowing the monster to take advantage of the situation.
"Huh? This guy, he seems a bit different..."
Zhang Xiaoman had also amplified his vision, so even from thirty or forty meters up in the sky, he could clearly see the details in the scene below.
The Corpse Demon’s appearance was slightly different from the others, with its most notable feature being the two extra arms on its body.
It still had a ghastly white color all over, its skin folded together, even its head had only a mouth.
However, it no longer ran on all fours, but lurched along on two withered legs. Its body was also larger; standing at over three meters tall compared to an ordinary Corpse Demon’s two meters, it was like a truck ramming through the crowd.
What surprised Zhang Xiaoman the most were the two extra arms the Corpse Demon held high, with two large, dark yellow eyes in the palms of its hands.
Its arms with eyes atop its head kept revolving as if it were scanning for prey with radar.
Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat horrified. The bizarre appearance of the other raising its arms for eyes was chilling to behold.
It was as though it sensed the abnormality in the sky; the Corpse Demon’s two palms suddenly aimed in the direction of Zhang Xiaoman, and its withered fingers even clutched at the air a couple of times, as if it were blinking its eyes.
The Corpse Demon let out a harsh and unpleasant cry, and with a leap, it reached the side of Changming Tower and began to climb up the outer wall.
"Hmm? Coming straight for me, huh? Interesting..."
Zhang Xiaoman, seeing the other climbing rapidly towards him, also revealed a smile.
"If you had just mixed in with the crowd, I might have had a bit of trouble, but since you’re practically seeking your own death, I can only oblige you."
As he spoke, his fingers pressed a button on the control panel, and the voice of the intelligent System immediately sounded inside the vehicle.
"Combat mode activated, invisible mode deactivated, weapons ready."
Following that, a control panel suddenly extended in front of Zhang Xiaoman, designed for operating the turret to attack.
Some time ago, he had already tested the attack system of the Anti-gravity Car on Rebirth Island, so now he had some understanding of how to use it.
This vehicle, being a reconnaissance model, only had one weapon system mounted: two Miniature Pulse Laser Cannons at the front.
Though there were only these two barrels, their power was unquestionable.
With combat mode activated, two barrel-thick cannon mouths extended from the front of the Anti-gravity Car.
But rather than calling them cannon mouths, it would be more accurate to say that the ends were fitted with two purple, circular crystals—these were the ports from which the Lasers would be fired.
The crowd below was still screaming and fleeing in panic, but after the monster climbed Changming Tower, there were still curious people who glanced up, only to be startled by the sudden appearance of the strange black flyer.
"What is that! Look, everyone, look at the sky!!!"
Someone stopped in their tracks and yelled loudly, pointing at the sky, but his voice didn’t carry effectively in the chaotic environment and was quickly drowned out by the crowd.
Still, a small number of people heard him, and they instinctively looked up, likewise seeing the quietly hovering Anti-gravity Car.
Just like that, more and more people stopped running, their gazes captivated by the eerie scene above.
A pale monster was frantically climbing Changming Tower, and not too far away, a uniquely shaped black flyer was quietly targeting it. The sight was just like something out of a science fiction movie, giving many people at that moment an unreal feeling.
Zhang Xiaoman was still not very familiar with the operation of such weapons, so he was somewhat slow using them.
He first called up a live-view interface, then lightly tapped on the Corpse Demon in the display, and the System promptly completed the subsequent target-locking process.
The turret at the front of the Anti-gravity Car constantly adjusted its angle following the movement of the Corpse Demon, waiting for Zhang Xiaoman’s command to launch an attack.
This was essentially a foolproof method of operation; there were more complex targeting programs he didn’t know how to use.
A voice from the intelligent System was heard in the cabin.
"Phew, wait a bit longer, the angle isn’t quite right now, it’s too easy to cause collateral damage. Let it get a bit higher..."
Zhang Xiaoman let out a long breath, after all, this was his first time using the high-tech weapons of the Anti-gravity Car in real combat, and to be honest, he was somewhat nervous.
