Chapter 130: The Desperate Chase

Chapter 130: Life-or-Death Chase

Lights flickered on inside the room.

Shaken, everyone turned their gaze toward the moaning body.

“Hiss!” A gasp cut through the silence.

Even Xiao Yu stared in disbelief at the crouched, wailing creature… a hyena!

Can you believe it?

Someone actually kept a hyena in the city, right in a residential building?!

Not only was this hyena enormous, its body length was estimated to be about one and a half meters.

If it stood on its hind legs, it would tower over an average person.

Judging by its bulk, it probably weighed over 150 jin!

In the next moment, all eyes turned in unison to Xiao Yu.

Wasn’t it Xiao Yu who just kicked the charging hyena away in the dark?

By the distance it flew, it must have been at least three or four meters.

How can someone kick a 150-jin creature so far?

They looked at Xiao Yu as if he were a monster.

“You tough girls, stop staring at me and watch the hyena,” Xiao Yu said with an exasperated roll of his eyes as he advanced toward the beast.

“Oh~”

Noticing a human approaching, the hyena—its body riddled with what seemed like broken bones—bared its teeth in a threatening snarl.

Bang!

A powerful impact rang out.

Xiao Yu’s leather-shod foot crushed the hyena’s head against the ground.

Everyone: ……

Is our guy really that hot-headed?

More pressing, though, was the question of how boldly Xiao Yu dared approach a hyena.

No ordinary person would get so close.

Wait… What is he doing?

While stepping on the hyena’s head, Xiao Yu bent down to inspect its mouth and teeth.

Images of two slain female victims flashed through his mind—their bodies marked by savage bite wounds.

They matched.

That bite mark pattern should belong to a hyena, shouldn’t it?

No, it wasn’t a hyena.

It was mimicking a hyena’s bite!

So then…

Xiao Yu spun around, his eyes scanning the room.

They fell on a dog bowl, causing his eyelid to twitch.

Inside the bowl were scraps of meat and broken bones.

Through the eyes of ‘Falcon’s Eye,’ Xiao Yu detected something amiss.

He saw something.

An eyeball!

A surge of malevolent fire flared within him as a chill passed over his eyes. With a forceful stomp…

Crunch!

Under the power of ‘Bear Force,’ the hyena’s jaw was shattered with one crushing kick.

A pained howl erupted.

A miserable wail echoed from the beast’s ruined mouth.

With its mouth destroyed, the hyena was effectively dead.

Xiao Yu lifted his foot and walked over to the dog bowl.

Fixated on the item inside… a human eye!

If his deductions were correct…

This eye likely belonged to one of the two murdered women.

“Bastard!” Xiao Yu spat through gritted teeth.

He had never imagined…

that someone could be so utterly depraved.

After abusing one’s own kind, they even fed the flesh and blood to a dog.

Wang Dong and the others wore expressions as grim as Xiao Yu’s as they stared at the eye.

They, too, were baffled.

How could a person do something so monstrous?

Then, a freezer in the room swung open.

Inside, human flesh was discovered.

Along with several large bags of blood!

“Lock down the city! Capture him!”

Before Xiao Yu could speak, Wang Dong exploded in fury.

“This isn’t right…”

Suddenly, something sparked in Xiao Yu’s mind. He dashed out of the room and sprinted toward the top of the residential building.

The dog food had just been added to the bowl!

By the time they arrived, they hadn’t seen the suspect, Wu Yuanxin, anywhere in the complex.

What did that mean?

He was still in the building!

If he was in the building, why head for the rooftop?

Because his opponent… can fly!

As Xiao Yu clambered up the fire escape to the roof,

he spotted a man in a helmet standing there.

Though his face remained hidden, Xiao Yu was sure it was Wu Yuanxin.

The scent was unmistakable!

But the moment they met eyes, Xiao Yu’s expression turned grim.

He noticed an enormous backpack on his suspect’s back and a bizarre frame attached to his body.

Two fierce jets of air burst forth from beneath the backpack.

In the very next moment…

Wu Yuanxin cast a cold glance at Xiao Yu.

Whoosh!

And he took off into the sky!

Xiao Yu watched as Wu Yuanxin’s figure soared upward, gradually fading from view.

Of course, he should have seen it coming.

A flying backpack?

Such a device truly existed.

Developed overseas in 2014 at an exorbitant price, a flying backpack cost over a million and could only sustain half an hour of flight.

Now, it’s 2022.

After eight years of upgrades,

the technology had matured long ago.

They had become nothing more than toys for the rich.

The JB-10 Flying Backpack!

0··Flowers, please···

But… can you really run from something like that?

An armed helicopter, radiating a cold, ruthless aura, lifted off behind Xiao Yu, whipping up raging winds.

Turning on his heel, he bolted.

Reaching the edge of the roof, Xiao Yu bent his knee and leaped.

Covering seven or eight meters in a blink.

He moved like a nimble raccoon—or perhaps a soaring leopard.

Under the shocked gaze of two soldiers, Xiao Yu landed lightly in the helicopter’s cockpit…

……

So impressive—can he really fly?

Seated in the armed helicopter, Xiao Yu shot a cold glance at the figure not far away.

The flying backpack’s top speed was only about seventy to eighty kilometers per hour.

For its size, having fuel for five gallons was impressive enough.

At an hourly consumption rate of roughly ten gallons…

…………..

The maximum flight time was no more than forty minutes!

In the face of the armed helicopter,

“Come on, tell me—how do you plan to escape?

If it weren’t for catching a live target…

Already granted special privilege by Wang Dong, Xiao Yu only needed to issue a command.

Two standby soldiers could have shot the suspect down directly from the sky.

No wonder these flying backpacks were nothing but toys for the rich.

On a battlefield, without speed or altitude,

they’d be sitting ducks!

Time ticked by slowly—before long, half an hour had passed.

The armed helicopter departed from M City.

“Hold on, why haven’t you landed yet?”

Xiao Yu furrowed his brow and fixed a cold stare on Wu Yuanxin, who continued flying.

“Aren’t you afraid of crashing?”

As if to prove his point,

Wu Yuanxin began to shake violently. His backpack sputtered and he started a rapid descent.

About four or five hundred meters above the ground,

Thud!

Wu Yuanxin’s backpack deployed a parachute.

“Ha!”

Xiao Yu sneered. “Playing this game—trying to escape into the mountains?”

The armed helicopter slowly descended over a wooded area below.

Just as Xiao Yu had predicted, his opponent was using a flying backpack and parachute to make a mountain escape.

Below lay a dense forest where the helicopter couldn’t land.

“Descend!” Xiao Yu ordered.

The pilot carefully brought the helicopter down, hovering about two meters above the treetops.

Under the astonished eyes of the two soldiers and the pilot,

Xiao Yu leapt off, dropping down three meters.
