Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 836: Chapter 841: Stalemate (Part 2)

People say they aren’t afraid of death, but that can only apply to a very few!

Beasts, likewise!

However, sometimes, this fearlessness is built upon them having a certain level of confidence.

If the opponent is utterly undefeatable, even the most fearless will have their hearts shaken, or maybe their brains aren’t wired right.

Now, the two leading wild dogs were like this, let alone the other four.

Because even though Zhou Yan’s strength was weaker than theirs, her recent display was truly terrifying!

Especially the small thing in her hand that made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts!

They were hesitating if they should send two more subordinates forward.

But now, they only had two subordinates left in good condition, and if these two were to die, there would only be two choices: either they go up themselves or retreat!

But neither choice was very good for them.

Zhou Yan looked at them with provocation, but she couldn’t help but look extremely pale, leaning half her body against the cliff wall; at this moment, her body and energy were at their limits.

Even if an injured wild dog came, she couldn’t deal with it.

After all, a beginner King of Soldiers, without any advanced fist skills, managed with a single fifteen-round handgun to eliminate four intermediate-ranked Soldier King wild dogs and injure two more. Although the terrain advantage was significant, each move and each shot had to be calculated a thousand times in her mind to grasp that tiny chance.

This was thanks to the strict demands she had placed on herself since police academy and after graduation, which allowed her to reach this point.

If it were any other beginner or intermediate-ranked Soldier King, they couldn’t achieve this.

Even if Lin Xi were here, he might not be able to do better.

Seeing the hesitating wild dogs outside, Zhou Yan slightly relaxed inside.

It seemed her last shot was a gamble well made!

She had successfully frightened these wild dogs.

Of course, this state might not last long, and if time drags on, they might notice something is amiss.

But for her, the situation is now about delaying as long as possible.

The longer she can drag it out, the more Lin Xi’s strength inside will recover, and only when his power is fully restored do they have a chance to live.

Of course, the shot aimed at the sky also had another purpose: to attract nearby people.

After all, there are over a hundred people who entered here!

If any team hears it and comes over, they are over eighty percent likely to be saved.

Because each team is led by at least an advanced Soldier King, with the stronger ones even being Innate.

However, preferably they encounter friendly people; if they run into the old man in the Taoist robe or an unfamiliar group, they might refuse to help and even take advantage of them.

But now, she couldn’t think about that.

The most crucial thing now is maintaining an attitude of fearlessness, or even contempt for an undefeatable presence. If the wild dogs feel her extreme weakness or fear,

the next moment will bring their sharp teeth and claws, and she will have no ability to resist, as there are no bullets left in her gun. Even if there were bullets, at her current speed, she wouldn’t be able to aim or hit!

In the stalemate situation, inside the small cave, Lin Xi was no longer lying on Avril Jolie’s lap but was sitting cross-legged, restoring his strength as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he was constantly alert to the situation outside. When Zhou Yan first dealt with the two wild dogs, he had stood up once, ready to help her.

But Zhou Yan’s subsequent performance completely exceeded his expectations.

Thinking in her place, he couldn’t be sure he would do better than Zhou Yan.

It was at that moment that he didn’t hide it and, in front of Avril Jolie, took out a small lump of Dragon Marrow from the Jade Pendant Space for forced recovery.

Because in his current physical condition, he could take very little Dragon Marrow, but consuming an entire lump would cause significant damage to his body.

Dragon Marrow is exceptionally domineering and unparalleled, causing massive impact on his body and meridians.

However, he couldn’t worry about this now!

As long as he can restore a bit more strength, there will be greater chances to survive in the future.

About three kilometers away, a team of five was carefully exploring, each bearing wounds of varying severity, and they clearly had some understanding of the forest’s situation.

With a "bang!"

One of the leaders stopped and looked toward Zhou Yan’s direction, whispering, "Did you hear that?"

The other four nodded; though the sound was faint, it was still audible to them given their strength.

Seeing his subordinates’ reactions, a hesitation appeared on his face; he wanted to check it out, yet worried about encountering danger or trouble.

For them, this forest was terrifyingly mysterious!

They have traveled worldwide, but never have they encountered a place this dangerous; they almost lost their entire team here.

They are comprised of one Peak Soldier King, one advanced King of Soldiers, one intermediate King of Soldiers, and two beginner Kings of Soldiers.

This strength allowed them to travel freely in the United States, yet they almost got wiped out by some beasts just now, though fortunately, they ran fast enough because those beasts weren’t good at running.

Otherwise, they would be finished!

Thinking about it gives them quite a scare.

"Boss, should we go have a look?" one of the beginner-level Soldier Kings tested the waters with the leader.

The leader thought for a moment and nodded, "Let’s go!"

They knew that in an extremely dangerous and unfamiliar environment, only by banding together could there be hope to explore further.

Of course, if they noticed that the situation over there was beyond their control, they wouldn’t show themselves.

The stalemate lasted less than five minutes when the two leading wild dogs became impatient, growling at their subordinates and occasionally showing their sharp teeth to bite.

The four wild dogs whined and retreated continuously, but there was nothing they could do.

Just at this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly "bang" fell to the ground without warning; she simply couldn’t hold on anymore.

As she realized this, she immediately tried to stand up, but in such haste, she only made herself even more embarrassed.

The advanced Soldier King wild dogs were extremely perceptive!

The moment Zhou Yan knelt on the ground, they had already noticed.

They quickly saw the scene unfold, and without thinking, the two leading wild dogs rushed towards Zhou Yan at top speed.

Zhou Yan raised her head and thought to herself, I’ve done all I can!

Henceforth, whether to live or die depends on their luck.

In the blink of an eye, the two wild dogs reached Zhou Yan, baring their teeth, one heading for her neck and the other for her thigh, mercilessly biting down.

Zhou Yan couldn’t help closing her eyes, thinking: "Is my life ending like this?"

"What about my mom?"

"Who’s going to take care of her in her old age?"

"I’m unwilling! I’ve never experienced the act between a man and a woman, how can I die just like this?"

Yet her body was too weak to resist, and even with strength, could she truly fight back?

So for her, it was a certain death!

However, a fleeting moment later, she seemed to see a handsome figure flash by her side, who casually slapped the two wild dogs away and gave her a smile, causing her to wryly smile inside, "Near death just makes you imagine things?"

"Where in the world is someone that strong?"
