Chapter 322: Chapter 256: Battle of the Monsters_1
Then, with the help of Duanmu Huai, Claire managed to find three coins, and activated a secret passage located in the police station’s main hall.
However, Marvin refused to leave with them. After all, he had been bitten and knew what that meant. Thus, Duanmu Huai and Claire had to enter the secret passage themselves, taking an elevator down to the underlying passage beneath the police station.
“Honestly, I can’t figure out what kind of police station would construct such a thing.”
Hammer in hand, Duanmu Huai led the way, venting his frustrations, while Claire just shook her head.
“Who knows, maybe I’ll ask my brother…hey.”
In the middle of their conversation, Claire seemed to hear something and quickly grabbed Duanmu Huai’s arm.
“Did you hear that?”
Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow, stopping in his tracks, and soon, he heard fast-paced “thump thump thump” footsteps coming from a passage not far over his head.
This was definitely not the sound of a zombie’s walk.
“There are still people here.”
“Let’s go.”
Duanmu Huai of course knew who the sounds belonged to but there was no need for spoilers at the moment. So, he continued leading Claire forward, and soon, the two of them reached another room at the end of the corridor. The file cabinets here had tipped over, blocking the passage. Duanmu Huai reached out, putting a hand on one of the cabinets, and then with a single hand easily pushed it back upright.
“Phew….”

Seeing this, Claire breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, big guy.”
“You’re welcome.”
However, at that moment, a small shadow suddenly ran past. Claire went forward, shining her flashlight into the corner. Then, illuminating by the flashlight, a little blonde girl nervously poked her head out.
“Hey, hello there.”
Upon seeing the little girl, Claire quickly greeted her kindly.
“Don’t worry, relax, we won’t hurt you.”
“……….”
Hearing Claire’s words, the blonde girl appeared uneasy. She looked at Claire, then at Duanmu Huai. Detecting her gaze, Claire glanced at Duanmu Huai, then turned her head back and continued speaking to the girl.
“Don’t be scared, this uncle may look a bit scary, but he’s a good person.”
Uncle, she should call him brother.
Hearing Claire’s words Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was only in his twenties, at the peak of his youth, and now he was being called uncle?
However, in response to Claire’s words, the girl still looked terrified. She stared at the two of them uneasily, a look of fear on her face.
“Be… Be careful… It… It’s still here……”
“What?”
“It’s coming.”
At this moment Duanmu Huai turned around, looking behind him. Claire also turned, raising her flashlight, and then she heard the sound of footsteps. Soon… illuminated by the flashlight, a massive creature appeared in front of them.
The creature bore some resemblance to a human, but the right half of his body was completely mutated. His arm was nearly as bulky as Duanmu Huai’s, and on the shoulder of his mutant right arm was a red eye, almost larger than his head, staring threateningly at them.
“Oh my god… what… what is this thing?”
Upon seeing this creature, Claire was startled, while Duanmu Huai reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“You take that girl and hide somewhere safe. Leave this creature to me.”
“Are you sure? It doesn’t look easy to handle…”
“Neither am I.”
While speaking, Duanmu Huai gripped his hammer, tilted his head from side to side, and stared coldly at the creature in front of him. In truth, Duanmu Huai also knew the identity of this creature, the chief culprit behind the G-virus research, and the father of the blonde girl. But he wasn’t about to spoil that. Regardless of its identity, it was now nothing more than a freakish alien beast.
And as a Judge, he had only one duty!
Fight, and then destroy!
“Move, leave this to me!!”
At this moment, the monster roared, raising its hand holding the iron pipe, and swung it towards Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai also moved a step forward, roaring loudly as he lifted the hammer in his hands.
“Boom!!”
The iron pipe held by the monster hit the middle of the hammer. Though its attack barely hurt Duanmu Huai, this suspended corridor made of wire mesh could not withstand the battleground of two immense figures. Soon, the metal plate below broke abruptly, and Duanmu Huai and the monster fell to the ground heavily.
“Damn.”
Looking at the broken hammer handle in his hand, Duanmu Huai cursed faintly. What he held was not his usual War Hammer, but a big hammer he randomly picked from the tool room when he left the jail with Marvin. This kind of big hammer has wooden handle added to the hammer head, it was fine against ordinary zombies, but tackling a monstrous beast was a different matter altogether.
But……do you think I can’t fight without it?
Duanmu Huai stood up, staring at the beast before his eyes. Even though this idiot turned into a monster, it was still much shorter than Duanmu Huai – that is, Duanmu Huai could look down at his prey, like a person of 1.8 meters looking down at someone of 1.6 meters.
“Hu…HuHu…..”
At this moment, sensing the fearful aura radiating from Duanmu Huai, the monster growled fearfully, gripping the iron pipe tightly and staring at Duanmu Huai.
[Target entered range of Fearful Aura!]
[Target undergoing will check…Will check failed!]
[Target enters Frenzy State!]
“AHHH!!!!”
Finally, at this moment, under extreme fear, the monster could no longer contain itself and collapsed, raising the steel pipe and smashing it directly at Duanmu Huai.
“Die!!”
Facing the monster’s attack, Duanmu Huai neither dodged nor hid, instead, he charged forward, closing the distance, and with his left hand, he grabbed the monster’s mutated, sturdy right wrist tightly.
Then he exerted force and twisted!
“AAAHHH!!!”
In front of Duanmu Huai’s strength, even the monster’s body, enhanced and mutated by the G-virus, was so fragile and weak. The right arm, huge and sturdy, was like plastic, bending instantly in the opposite direction. The intense pain made the monster howl loudly. It desperately stretched out its other hand towards Duanmu Huai’s face, but Duanmu Huai just swiftly grabbed its unmutated left hand and twisted it forcefully. In an instant, the monster’s left hand was twisted off like a pretzel, limply hanging by its side.
Then Duanmu Huai roared, headbutting the monster’s head.
“ARGH!!”
For an ordinary person, a full-force blow from Duanmu Huai would likely crack the skull. However, this monster was really sturdy and took Duanmu Huai’s assault. But even so, its voice became much weaker, mixed with a fearful whimper.
“Hiss……”
Seeing this scene from the second floor, while holding the little girl, Claire took a sharp breath and quickly covered the girl’s eyes. Although she knew Duanmu Huai was powerful, the man below had once again shattered her impression of him – just by looking at him, Claire could easily imagine him single-handedly fighting and killing a bunch of people on the street…..
Could it be this giant was imprisoned here because of that kind of thing!
Just looking at his cruel demeanor, it’s clear that this man is no good! Even a monster like this is no match for him! If it wasn’t for the fact that Duanmu Huai didn’t have any mutations like the other monsters, Claire might even doubt if this man before her was still a human!
Speaking of ordinary humans, none of them possess such a tall and strong stature! What kind of person is he really?
“Die!!!!”
As the monster retreated, Duanmu Huai roared loudly. He then raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and sent it directly into the monster’s right eye which was larger than its head!
“Puff!!”
The seemingly fragile eyeball shattered like a water balloon under Duanmu Huai’s blow. Blood and thick fluid splattered everywhere, and Duanmu Huai’s left hand penetrated the monster’s body, causing it to scream painfully. The next moment, perhaps due to its survival instinct and courage, the monster quickly retreated. But Duanmu Huai did not let it off easy. He clung onto the monster’s bones as if ripping the leg off a chicken, and pulled off its mutated right hand right from its body!
“AAAHHHH!!!!!”
At this moment, the monster could no longer bear the dreadful pain, and screaming, it turned and ran, leaping over the railing and disappearing into the depths below with its cries echoing in the background.
“Huh, useless.”
Duanmu Huai threw away the monster’s right hand he had torn off and snorted coldly. With his current physical attribute, it’s not difficult to confront these monsters directly. Duanmu Huai’s attributes had already exceeded 40, even though it had not yet reached the legendary JO-level biological standard, he could easily withstand bullets. Even if Duanmu Huai just stood there and let the monster hit him, it was doubtful whether it could break his skin.
“Hey, big guy…..”
At this time, Claire’s voice rang out. Duanmu Huai looked up to see her and the little girl peering out of the second-floor window, watching him nervously.
“You……are you okay?”
