Chapter 14
Wenshan Street.
Chu Zhou, Liu Qianqian, Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan walked in a dimly lit alley, their eyes vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
They were tasked to search for fallen martial artists in this area after splitting up.
This area was filled with crowded old houses.
It was a classic poor district with poor sanitary conditions and dilapidated roads.
“I wouldn’t even want to come to a sh*tty place like this if I wasn’t on a mission.”
Jin Zhennan leaped over the puddle of dirty water on the road and said with disgust.
Zhou Tong also frowned. He had been born and raised in an elite district that was filled with high-end technology.
Skyscrapers, terraces, or villas were common in such areas. There were also museums, libraries, art galleries, and other buildings that were filled with artistic culture…
Therefore, he was not used to the environment of the poor district.
Chu Zhou was expressionless. He had grown up in the poor district and was already used to it.
“We searched this area for an hour after the split up but we still haven’t found any traces of the fallen martial artists.”
“There’s still no news from Officer Gao Jun and the others.”
“Did we fail this mission?”
Liu Qianqian said.
Chu Zhou, Zhou Tong, and Jin Zhennan frowned.
If the mission failed just like that, it would mean that they did not have the chance to perform at all and would not get the chance to temper themselves.
BANG!
Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering came from the ground not far away.
Chu Zhou and the other three immediately rushed over.
A pile of glass shards appeared in front of them.
“It’s a pile of glass that fell from a nearby building.”
Liu Qianqian looked up at a tall building beside her.
Chu Zhou and the others also looked up.
They were all Advanced Apprentices so their vision was much stronger than ordinary humans. They could also see clearly at night.
They noticed that many of the walls of this tall building had signs of serious depressions and spider web-like cracks. There were also huge holes in some of the walls.
Some huge claw marks were also deeply imprinted on the wall.
“I just checked out the area.”
“This building is called Fengmao Building! Last year, an injured Iron-clawed Golden Eagle suddenly descended and attacked this place. At that time, more than 10 people were killed or injured, causing quite a stir.”
“After that incident, Fengmao Building was also severely damaged by the Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle and became a dangerous building even though it was killed by martial artists. All the residents here have moved away.”
Liu Qianqian took out her phone and pressed the button to activate the 3D holographic projection as she spoke.
A laser beam shot out immediately from a pinhole on the phone, and a 3D dynamic image appeared in the air.
The building in the image was of the Fengmao Building.
On the screen, a strange bird that was more than 10 meters long was attacking the Fengmao Building crazily. It looked like a small fighter jet, with wings that flickered with a metallic luster and a pair of huge iron claws that looked like they were made of steel.
Every attack by its claw left a huge hole in the wall of Fengmao Building.
Walls, steel bars — They were all broken by the claws.
A large area of the wall caved in with spider web-like cracks spread continuously with a peck of its beak.
Everyone in the building was fleeing in panic. Many people were cut in half by the strange birds’ wings.
At the end of the video, a foot suddenly descended from the sky and crushed the head of the Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle…
The video ended.
“Monsters are indeed the greatest enemies of us humans! This Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle is only an Elite Level monster, but it already has such terrifying destructive power. How terrifying would those Emperor Level monsters at the top of the monsters be?”
Jin Zhennan was shocked.
“The monsters are powerful, but we humans aren’t weak either. There are Emperor Level monsters but we humans also have Wargods who can Emperor Level monsters. There’s no need to worry unnecessarily.”
Zhou Tong said calmly. He had seen countless videos of monsters invading human cities.
“Brother Zhou is so magnanimous. I’m too narrow-minded.”
Jin Zhennan praised him hurriedly.
Chu Zhou did not say anything. He had actually seen the video from last year’s news report.
He lamented the strength of the monsters and yearned to become a fighter looking at it again.
Wasn’t it a martial artist who killed the Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle with a single kick at the end of the video?
“There’s no one living in Fengmao Building now. A pile of glass fell suddenly. The glass must have been loosened and blown off by the wind.”
Liu Qianqian said.
It was normal for a badly damaged building to have pieces of glass suddenly blown off by the wind.
Disappointment appeared on Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan’s faces.
How could they showcase themselves if there were no fallen martial artists?
Suddenly, Zhou Tong’s gaze turned to look at Chu Zhou and said, “Chu Zhou, go upstairs and take a look!”
“Zhou Tong, there are no findings here. There’s no need for Chu Zhou to waste his time!” Liu Qianqian frowned.
“Who said that our leader did not have any findings? Didn’t he notice the pile of fallen glass? Who knows if someone actually threw the glass from above… He asked Chu Zhou to go upstairs to take a look. This is a cautious and responsible action.”
Jin Zhennan said meaningfully while looking at Chu Zhou mockingly.
“Chu Zhou, you will listen to the leader’s instructions, won’t you?” Zhou Tong calmly stared into Chu Zhou’s eyes.
Liu Qianqian was very angry seeing how Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan were obviously targeting Chu Zhou. She was about to suggest for all of them to go together if there was a need to search…
However, Chu Zhou spoke before she had a chance to speak.
“That works too! I happen to want to personally experience the destruction left behind at the scene of an attack by the Elite Level Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle.”
Chu Zhou glanced indifferently at Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan. Then, his body moved, and he rushed towards Fengmao Building like a cheetah.
He stepped heavily on the ground and his body flew a few meters into the air. One of his hands grabbed the window edge nimbly and suddenly exerted strength, His entire body continued to ascend.
Just like that, he used the window ledges, balconies, extensions, and other things in the building to grab, step, or borrow strength. He kept ascending the building like Spiderman.
He arrived at a hole that had been scratched by the Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle in no time.
He carefully observed the hole and discovered that there was power left behind by crushed bricks and broken steel bars in the hole.
“The destructive power of the Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle is indeed terrifying… A person would probably be turned into meat paste in an instant if it was used on a human!”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself and continued to climb.
During this process, he saw many claw marks and peck marks left behind.
Every mark showed the astonishing destructive power of the Iron-Clawed Golden Eagle.
Suddenly, Chu Zhou paused and hid against the wall. He tilted his head slightly and looked into the building.
He saw a faint light shining out from one of the halls covered in blackout cloth immediately.
The faint light emitted from the gaps in the blackout cloth was too weak.
He wouldn’t have been able to see it if he weren’t so close.
Chu Zhou held his breath and looked through the gaps in the blackout cloth. He could vaguely see a few figures with vicious expressions on their faces, as well as a corpse with multiple glass stab wounds, covered in blood.
Chu Zhou’s pupils constricted slightly.
He knew that this was probably the stronghold of the fallen martial artists that they had been looking for.
He listened attentively, trying to obtain more information.
However, the people inside deliberately lowered their voices even though there was isolation from the blackout curtains.
Therefore, the information that he could hear was very weak and blurry.
Chu Zhou could only vaguely hear the words “police”, “plan”, and “be careful”.
“It’s them!”
Chu Zhou thought to himself. He immediately let go of the windowsill carefully and leaped down like an ape.
