A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Harry's hair stood on end. He abruptly raised his gun and turned around, but before he could aim, an axe came crashing down on his head.

"Shit!"

Seeing the axe coming at him, Harry had no choice but to parry it with his spear.

However... he overestimated his strength!

A powerful force surged from the gun, and the axe instantly pierced his defenses, its sharp blade cutting into his shoulder.

"what--"

Harry couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out, and Beth got out of the car and fired several shots at the monster, forcing it back and narrowly saving Harry.

However, the Winchester shotgun had somehow ended up somewhere.

"Quick, get in the car and drive!" Harry yelled.

"Oh my goodness!"

Beth frantically started the car, Harry jumped in, and the two hurriedly drove off.

……

Inside the pile of abandoned cars, Gwen's emotions calmed down a bit, but she still clung to Cao Gui.

Cao Gui was also happy with this; with such a beautiful woman in his arms, he couldn't very well turn her away, could he?

After a long while, Cao Gui finally turned his attention to the ugly humanoid monster. This thing... looked familiar.

It was humanoid, with a nose and eyes, and red blood. It was about the size of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but the monster was extremely ugly. Its hair was disheveled like a tangled mess, its face was covered in bumps, its lips were everted, and its mouth protruded.

Cao Gui's gaze was solemn. The face looked very familiar, as if the clue was right on the tip of his tongue, but something was missing, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"What's wrong, Cao?"

Seemingly sensing Cao Gui's change, Gwen turned her head to look.

"Don't look!"

Cao Gui grabbed her head. This thing was not only disgusting and ugly, but Cao Gui had also fired four shotgun blasts at it, leaving its entire body a bloody mess, extremely disgusting.

“Okay…” Gwen agreed, then hesitated and said, “Damn, we should go back. Harry and the others are still over at the car!”

"car?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Upon hearing this, Cao Gui's expression suddenly changed. He remembered—the culprit who vandalized the car was this humanoid monster. This plot...

Deadly bend! Mutant cannibal!

If I remember correctly, there are at least three of these mutated ogres!

"Shit!" Cao Gui's face instantly turned extremely grim. "Quick! Gwen, we have to go back! Harry and the others are in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Gwen was startled: "You mean there's more than one of these monsters?"

However, just as the two were preparing to return to the mountain path...

call out--

A red signal flare rose into the sky from the dense forest, attracting the attention of Cao Gui and Gwen.

"Oh my god, it's Lucy, she's firing a signal flare!" Gwen exclaimed.

Cao Gui didn't say anything, sniffed the scent of Lucy in the air, and immediately pulled Gwen towards the direction of the signal flare.

Chapter 37 Saving Lucy

Three minutes ago.

In the mountains and forests, under a large tree.

Lucy hid behind a tree, her heart pounding wildly, but the mutated ogre was far away and she couldn't see its appearance clearly. In addition, the ogre was using a gun.

In this situation, Lucy subconsciously defined it as some kind of armed killer, rather than a mutated cannibalistic monster that eats people.

Fear comes more from the unknown, so she wasn't truly afraid, just a little scared.

"Damn it..."

Lucy pulled out the empty magazine and inserted a new one. She only had three magazines; if she used another one, the gun in her hand would be useless.

Faced with this situation, Lucy couldn't help but recall the scene when Cao Gui gave her the gun, and felt a pang of regret.

Am I an idiot? Why didn't I just take it? A gun isn't heavy, so why was I refused?

Lucy took a deep breath, suppressing her thoughts. She dared not use the walkie-talkie, fearing that the sound would reveal her location. She could only wait quietly, seeking an opportunity.

However, she was too naive. The cannibal had been living in this forest for many years and knew every corner of it like the back of his hand.

Lucy took out a small makeup mirror and slowly peered out to observe, but found nothing.

Lucy was taken aback, thinking she had misread it. Unconvinced, she changed her perspective and observed from the other side.

Just as she turned her head, with a "thud," the axe flew again and chopped into the tree trunk next to the back of her head.

If she hadn't happened to turn her head, she would have been dead long ago!

"Shit!"

Lucy broke out in a cold sweat, turned her gun around, and unleashed a hail of bullets in that direction.

Bang bang bang bang!

As expected of a family member of the NYPD, Lucy emptied the magazine in the blink of an eye, but instead of checking her spoils, she immediately turned and ran.

It must be said that her response was correct, but Lucy was facing a mutated cannibal with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people and possessing a human brain.

It is an extremely clever hunter!

Just as Lucy began to run away, the ogre came out from another direction, grabbed an axe from a tree trunk, and attacked Lucy as she fled.

"Waaah-hoa-hahaha-"

Instead of shooting Lucy dead, he chose to toy with his prey like a cat playing with a mouse.

Hearing the inhuman screams behind her, Lucy turned around and was immediately terrified:

"Shit! Shit! What the hell is this monster!?"

Lucy ran for her life, throwing away the empty magazine and putting in the last one, but in her panic, she tried several times before she could fit it in.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets struck the ogre, pinning him behind a tree.

Seeing this, Lucy took a breath, pulled out a signal flare and fired it into the sky, then pressed the button on the walkie-talkie to contact her companions:

"Damn it, I've encountered a monster, and it's chasing me!"

“Sizzle—, we’ve run into them too.” Harry gasped for breath, the sharp pain in his shoulder rendering his right hand unable to use the gun.

"Damn it! It's chasing us in a car! It actually has a car! It can actually drive!"

Harry's voice came through the walkie-talkie, along with the sound of a car engine.

“Screech—, Harry, Beth, you drive around it and deal with it, don’t confront it head-on.”

"Lucy, you guys take care of yourselves. Gwen and I are on our way to you!"

Cao Gui's voice came through the walkie-talkie. Hearing that he had found Gwen, the three of them perked up immediately, and their courage increased by a third.

Lucy took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then began to move to the side, looking for the monster to prepare for a counterattack.

boom!

A bullet struck the tree trunk, nearly hitting Lucy and startling her, but it also revealed the cannibal's location.

Lucy immediately retaliated, firing three shots at the ogre, forcing him to move again.

Originally, seeing Lucy running away, the cannibal began to play cat and mouse as usual, adding some fun to his boring cannibalistic life.

But it didn't expect that although Lucy was indeed desperately running away, she didn't completely panic and lose her composure, but was still able to fight back with her pistol.

Upon seeing this, it immediately changed its mind and shot Lucy, but unfortunately the first shot missed.

After the ogre moved to its new location, it raised its gun to fire again, but Lucy fired three more shots, leaving it no choice but to stay still.

However, Lucy wasn't faring much better. She only had nine bullets left, and a few more shots and she would be finished. Just when Lucy was almost in despair...

boom!

A gunshot rang out in the distance, and the monster that was holding the gun suddenly collapsed.

Lucy looked up and saw Cao Gui running towards her with Gwen from a distance.

"Oh my God!"

Lucy was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She dropped her pistol and ran towards Cao Gui, throwing herself into his arms.

Gwen: (ー`'ー)

Feeling the intense gaze behind him, Cao Gui remained expressionless, grabbed Lucy by the back of her collar, and tossed her to Gwen.

"Lucy, are you alright?" Gwen worriedly touched her all over, and only felt relieved after making sure she wasn't missing any limbs.

"No...it's nothing." Lucy looked at Cao Gui, somewhat absentmindedly.

Meanwhile, under Lucy's puzzled and dissatisfied gaze, Cao Gui walked straight toward the cannibal.

"Yahoohoohoo—"

As soon as he got close, the cannibal pounced, its mouth wide open, trying to bite into Cao Gui's neck.

Cao Gui looked surprised. Although Tokarev pistol bullets have strong penetrating power but weak stopping power, that's only true at close range. Cao Gui was firing at such a long distance, there was no way he wouldn't kill someone.

It seems that this cannibal's life force is far more tenacious than that of an ordinary person.

Seeing the ogre pounce, Cao Gui snorted coldly, swung his arm, and slapped the ogre across the face.

Snapped!

The cannibal spun twice in mid-air, and before it could land, Cao Gui kicked it out again, then pulled out a shotgun and fired a shot.
