Naturally... the price tag is also extremely expensive.
The fire was burning the villa on the far right. Although the cause of the fire was unknown, everyone on the island heard the explosion that preceded the fire! It was very likely that the generator in the basement exploded!
When Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing saw the flames rushing towards them, the group of people hiding in the tool shed were in danger!
The sudden explosion plunged those already gripped by extreme fear into a complete breakdown of their last shred of reason!
"Fire! Fire!"
"It's exploded! It's exploded!"
We're going to be burned alive!
"The fire is coming! Run!!"
"Wow! I don't want to stay in this awful place! I want to leave! Leave!!"
It started with two girls shouting and complaining. Then two male staff members joined in.
Although Young Master Xu tried his best to appease everyone, it was clear that the effect was not good!
In such a crisis, saving one's own life is the priority. Who would care about the company boss's son? At worst, one can lose their job, but one only has one life!
In the distance, a villa was engulfed in flames, almost turning the night sky red! Thick smoke billowed out, and the situation was truly frightening!
Soon, the two staff members had gone completely berserk. Ignoring Xu Ershao's attempts to stop them, they desperately lunged towards the door. Although Xu Ershao tried to stop them, the crazed men didn't care about anything else and actually started fighting with him. Bai Cai, a weak woman, was no match for the staff members fleeing at the same time!
The door was pushed open, and several people rushed out. Their goal was clear:
pier!!
The people, already on the verge of collapse from fear, had only one last hope, the only way for the island to reach the outside world: the dock! The ship!
"Don't go! It's dangerous!! You can't go out!"
Xu Ershao was punched in the face by one of the company's employees. Several people pinned him down before rushing out. Soon, only Xu Ershao, Bai Cai, Ya Ya, and the rest of the employees remained in the room. Some had initially been observing, but seeing most people run away, they blindly rushed out as well…
At this moment, human nature is blindly obedient. Even if some people don't intend to run away, seeing fewer and fewer people remaining in the room and more and more leaving, they will always choose to follow the majority.
"don't want!!"
The cabbage was still screaming. But Young Master Xu had already gotten up from the ground, his expression grim. The shovel he was holding had been snatched away by a staff member... If he hadn't let go in time, those people who were already blinded by greed for survival would probably have smashed the shovel on his head without hesitation.
Just then, through the window, the three could clearly see that the people who had rushed out were already swarming towards the dock...
Then, suddenly, sharp howls rang out all around!
At the edge of the woods, near the dock, several black shadows suddenly darted out of the woods!
These predators had waited patiently for far too long! Now that their prey had delivered itself to them, they had no hesitation whatsoever. One after another, black shadows swarmed forward into the night!
Monsters! So many monsters!!
Bai Cai's legs went weak at the sight. Xu Ershao, who had originally wanted to rush out to chase after them, suddenly saw two monsters turn and pounce towards the tool shed, and he immediately gave up the idea of going out.
"Close the door! Close the door now!"
The moment the door slammed shut, a heavy thud echoed from outside! The metal security door creaked and groaned as it was struck!
Then the monsters outside began to growl impatiently, and the two monsters circled back and forth around the small tool shed.
Crash! The monster finally found the window, and it smashed it open! The force of the impact bent the finger-thick iron bars! Fortunately, relative to the monster's size, the gap was still too small. But watching the monster cling desperately to the iron bars, its fanged head roaring as it tried to squeeze through, drops of thick saliva dripping from its mouth onto the windowsill, and its sharp claws gripping the bars, causing them to creak and twist…
Xu Ershao quickly jumped up, shouted, picked up the shovels that the people had dropped, and smashed them hard on the half of the monster's head that had already crawled in!
Bang! In his excitement, he used all his strength. The monster was instantly stunned, a bloody gash appearing on its forehead from the hard edge of the shovel. After feeling the pain, the monster quickly retreated outside, but then bared its teeth and claws at the people inside through the window for a moment.
Finally, amidst the cabbage's screams, the monster turned and ran away...
But outside, it has become a killing field!
This is a true killing field!!
Eight staff members rushed out. But more than half of them didn't even have a chance to reach the dock!
The short distance of just 100 meters between the tool shed and the dock became a bloody scene!
Those monsters were only slightly smaller than a human. But using their wings, they swooped down from mid-air with terrifying accuracy! Anyone struck by a monster would immediately fall to the ground! Then, the monster's sharp claws would easily tear apart the human's vulnerable throat or chest!
Amidst the spray of blood and the roars of monsters, there were the painful wails and desperate screams of the people! Everyone was running for their lives, and at this moment, everyone was in a completely unconscious state, with only one thought in their minds: escape!
Escape to the dock!
There were six monsters in total. The first attack felled six people, both men and women. Some of the men tried to fight back, but against the monsters' immense strength and claws capable of tearing through metal, human flesh and blood were far too fragile! A single bite from the monster could sever a human's throat, followed by its claws ripping open the flesh of their abdomen. The monsters devoured and tore at them relentlessly. Soon, everyone who was struck was dead, and even in death, they could not escape a gruesome fate:
Almost everyone who died was disemboweled! These monsters were ferocious and cunning, as if they knew that the flesh inside the organs was the most tender. Before Bai Cai and the others' horrified eyes, they witnessed firsthand how some humans had their intestines brutally torn out by the monsters, dragging out long, long pieces…
Pools of blood were scattered everywhere, along with mangled flesh and blood...
Some of the monsters, in their frenzied tearing, completely dismembered human limbs. Occasionally, they would raise their heads, their bulging eyes still glowing with an eerie green light, staring at the people still hiding in the tool shed...
Bai Cai felt her legs go weak and she could no longer stand. With a loud "waah," she began to vomit violently.
Only two people managed to reach the dock and jump onto the yacht. In their haste, the yacht was started, but they seemed to have forgotten to untie the mooring lines. As a result, the more anxious they became, the more the yacht could only spin around in circles at the dock.
Finally, some of the monsters began to slowly approach the dock. The people on the ship screamed frantically, and finally, in a frantic rush, they managed to untangle the mooring lines…
As the yacht left the shore, the two people on board let out a wild cheer, thinking they were finally safe.
