The small square table, about two feet square, slowly tilted to one side. Half of Ding Jie's body had already fallen outside the building, but her face was becoming more and more serene, a look of relief gradually appearing at the corners of her mouth. The crowd watched in horror as Ding Jie floated out like a piece of paper, and the screams of women rose high. Just at this critical moment, Jack finally caught her ankle as he lunged forward.
"Bang…"
Jack's entire chest slammed heavily against the stainless steel railing, and he did not dare to loosen his grip on Ding Jie's ankle. Although Ding Jie was not heavy, she still weighed over ninety pounds, and the immense inertia from the fall almost pulled Jack out as well.
"Let go of me…" Ding Jie exclaimed, shaking her body and trying desperately to struggle. However, her instinctive shyness as a woman quickly overcame her determination to die. Hanging in the air, her nightgown almost slipped off her body, and she hurriedly grabbed it to cover her bare lower body, finally stopping her shaking. Looking at Jack, whose face was flushed from the effort, she said with emotion, "Let me go. Do you really think that living is better than dying…"
"No... no..." Jack gritted his teeth and shook his head resolutely. Most of his body was outside the railing and he couldn't use any strength at all. Although the people behind him were also rushing over, they could only watch the two of them slide down slowly because they had to escape a swimming pool.
However, a strange sound of "ta-ta-ta" and "ta-ta-ta" came to Jack's ears at this moment. This familiar sound made him startled. He subconsciously turned his head and looked to the side. A disgusting flesh-red figure actually climbed up the outer wall of the hotel and rushed towards them quickly.
Seeing this figure, Jack's heart instinctively jumped, and his eyes opened as wide as possible. He cursed secretly and began to use all his strength to drag Ding Jie back. However, his body posture was wrong and he couldn't use any strength. He almost lifted Ding Jie's butt over his head, but his own body was still sliding down a little bit.
Just at this moment, Thomas Xu finally arrived, grabbed the waistband of Jack's trousers and pulled it back with all his strength, but God seemed to be joking with them. Thomas Xu arrived, and the flesh-red figure covered with muscles unexpectedly arrived quickly. From four or five meters away, a wet meat whip came out of its mouth, and with a "swish", it wrapped around Jack's waist and pulled it fiercely downstairs.
"when..."
This time it was Thomas Xu's turn to hit the railing. Jack's whole body was already hanging outside the building, but his legs were tightly clamped around Thomas Xu's waist. Thomas Xu was pulling them both with almost all his strength, and his body was folded in half as if he was stuck on the railing. Now he also saw the monster that was pulling them with a whip. He was so frightened that he almost stared out his eyes, and shouted in horror, "Then... what the hell is that?"
"Living...living corpse hunter" Jack replied with great difficulty. Looking at the ugly hunter not far away, which looked like a skinned frog, Jack really wanted to give it a shot. He never expected that the hunter would appear at this critical time. It would be difficult to deal with it normally, let alone now.
"Come on, I can't hold on any longer..." Thomas Xu raised his head desperately, shouting at the top of his lungs. Fortunately, the others also knew that their lives were at stake, and they came not too slowly. Just when Thomas Xu was about to be dragged out by the hunter, Gao Chujiang finally arrived, hugged Thomas Xu as fast as possible and dragged him back, followed by Ruian Lin, Ding Jiandong, Jiang Jie...
"Da da da…"
Boss Hu, who was the last to arrive, at least had some experience. He knew that there must be a hunter outside when he saw the meat whip wrapped around Jack. He knew that the thing was difficult to deal with. If he didn't deal with it as soon as possible, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Besides, there was no escape here. What could he do if he didn't fight hard? So without saying a word, he raised his rifle and fired at the hunter.
"Gah..."
To everyone's surprise, the hunter hit by a series of bullets let out a strange quack similar to that of a duck, and no longer participated in the tug-of-war game. As it relaxed its grip on the meat whip in its mouth, its entire body was flipped over several times. However, being tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, it didn't care about these minor, non-painful attacks. With a fierce swipe of its left claw, it plunged into the wall of the building even while tumbling, then steadied itself and swiftly climbed up the outer wall like a gecko, heading straight for its attacker, Hu Laoda.
"Damn..."
Big Hu was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He had intended to push the hunter down the stairs, but he never expected that the guy would be so fierce. Not only did he not get hurt, but he also charged up instead. Big Hu cursed in fear, holding his gun and retreating several steps. If it weren't for the fact that there was nowhere to escape, he might have turned and run away long ago. Now, he could only brace himself and open fire again.
The hunter charged in like a small armored vehicle, its claws gripping the railing with great force. The stainless steel railing, as thick as an adult's arm, immediately made a loud "clang" and bent significantly. The hunter used this force to leap into the air, pouncing towards Big Hu. However, in his panic, Big Hu seemed to have unleashed an extraordinary amount of luck today, as every bullet he fired blindly hit the hunter.
Although the hunter had tough skin and thick flesh, it couldn't withstand such close-range fire. Weighing only about a hundred pounds, the tremendous kinetic energy from the dozen bullets easily knocked it over. The hunter spun several times in the air, like a small plane in distress, and with a "thud," it crashed into the swimming pool.
"Hurry up! You guys better pull Jack up, I can't deal with this thing..."
In his life, aside from being a great cook, Big Hu had almost no other merits. But his only outstanding quality was knowing when to be sensible, understanding his own limitations. He was very clear about when to show off and when to play the fool, just like the hunter that fell into the swimming pool. Even if he were handed several rockets from the armored vehicle, he wouldn't dare to show off even a bit. Jack was his only lifeline.
"Whoosh..."
Almost as soon as Big Hu finished speaking, the hunter struggled out of the pool. It was still completely unharmed, half-lying in the water, its blood-red eyes fiercely staring at Big Hu, who was holding the gun. Big Hu felt a chill run down his spine from its gaze and, without thinking, pulled the trigger again.
"Da da da…"
Once again, the scene erupted in flames, with debris flying everywhere. This time, even Yue Yunfei joined the attack. He fired the gun that Ding Jie had given him without hesitation. Although he didn't know what kind of monster the hunter was, seeing Big Hu's face contorted in fear made it clear that this thing was definitely not ordinary.
The hunter undoubtedly possessed a certain level of intelligence. It certainly wouldn't stand there foolishly to be shot. It suddenly exerted force with its four claws while submerged in the water, splashing a large amount of water and quickly dodging in another direction. With a flurry of movement against a wall covered in tiles, the hunter easily climbed to the fourth floor, swiftly moving along the light golden wall, clearly intending to change its angle to attack Yue Yunfei, making Big Hu hesitant to act.
"Don't shoot…"
Yue Yunfei suddenly shouted at Boss Hu with a panicked expression, but Boss Hu ignored him and continued to fire at the hunter. He thought Yue Yunfei was trying to stop him from shooting to avoid friendly fire, but soon he realized why Yue Yunfei was so frantic. The bullets he fired not only hit the hunter but also shattered a large section of the glass window on the fourth floor!
