“Brother Dagen, get up, get up quickly!”
Ji Dong grabbed Mo Tiangen’s shoulder and shook it, trying to wake the person.
Teacher Dagen opened his eyes in a daze. He wasn’t fully awake, so he spoke in Shancheng dialect, “Claw?”
“Not claw.”
Ji Dong asked Mo Tiangen to look out the window. “There are many birds out there!”
Mo Tiangen rubbed his eyes and cursed, “Fuck!”
He scanned the surroundings. Since there were no lights to illuminate the streets, the twinkling Walmart one street away stood out in his eyes.
At this point, the egg-shaped glass dome appeared to be on fire from within, with a crimson blazing tint, while some big birds hovered above.
Ji Dong switched his phone’s camera mode to night vision, focused the lens as closely as possible, then handed it to Mo Tiangen.
Teacher Dagen took the mobile phone and looked at the screen carefully for a moment. With the professional knowledge of a biology teacher, he concluded.
“These look like some kind of owl, but they have grown too exaggerated…”
Then he rubbed the goosebumps on his arm. “It must be at least the size of a person?”
But now that they’d seen the bizarre dragonflies and lizards, it wasn’t unusual to see a flock of birds the size of humans.
“Those owls are destroying the roof!”
Ji Dong pointed out the crux of the problem. “They are trying to break in…”
——As for why they’re going in, it suffices to say that it’s not to have a late-night party with the people inside!
Ji Dong’s mobile phone performed mediocrely. Even if it did reach the restricted focus, the situation at Walmart was only hazily apparent.
“I don’t think the roof will last long…”
“Yes.”
Mo Tiangen answered and exchanged a look with him. Both of them saw the meaning of “big things are bad” from each other’s eyes.
Just as they were staring at Walmart a street away, a fireball suddenly lit up on their windowsill.
All three people in the room were startled.
In particular, Teacher Dagen, who was standing in front and holding a mobile phone to observe the situation outside, took two steps back and directly hit Ren Jianmo.
He was so frightened that he almost threw away the mobile phone in his hand.
“Lizard!”

“…Hey.”
A very bad guess suddenly appeared in Ji Dong’s heart.
“Do you think…”
He stretched out his hand and pointed to Walmart’s crimson dome like a glass lampshade in the distance, “It is this lizard who caused the fire over there?”
Mo Tiangen rubbed his chin thoughtfully, sensing that Ji Dong’s words may be correct.
A second later, another fireball appeared on the right side of the glass. The third fireball emerged two seconds later in the lower-left corner of the windowsill.
The fireballs that emerged one after the other instantly mirrored their little glass panes into a vivid crimson, as if they were a fire scene.
Everyone: “…”
“Let’s go.”
Ren Jianmo suddenly stretched out his hand and tugged on Ji Dong’s arm.
Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen turned back together.
Against the backdrop of the fire, Ren Jianmo frowned and looked solemn.
“Those owls were alerted by the fireball lizards.”
He didn’t even use subjective prefixes such as ‘I think’ and in a firm tone said, “If we don’t go now, it will be our turn.”
—————————
Walmart’s glass dome was actually quite strong. It was said that it could stably withstand a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, but the owl’s sharp beak and claws were like steel nails. Every peck could crack a hole in the glass.
Soon, the egg-shaped dome was covered with cracks like cobwebs, glass shards fell from a height like raindrops, like big and small beads falling on a jade plate, jingling and ringing.
“Let’s… let’s run away!”
The young man in the couple group was scared white and reluctantly helped his girlfriend who was about to fall to the ground. “On the way, we can find a car!”
He suggested to Brother Jie, “We can rush out…”
The young man barely stated half of what he’d wanted to say when the glass dome suddenly made a loud “click” sound. Then a big piece of glass shattered, and a huge behemoth descended from the sky, carrying the glass shards with it.
Walmart’s glass dome was completely broken.
“Gaaah! Gahah!!”
The shrill sound reverberated in the open lobby with its own winding effect.
The owl that had fallen through the broken glass sprang up, fluttered its massive wings, shook its feathers, opened its eyes, extended its neck, and delivered a sharp shriek to the frail prey in front of it.
“Run, run!”
The youth shouted with a cry.
In fact, he didn’t need to say anything at all. At the moment when the roof was broken, Brother Jie had already turned his head and jumped out like a rabbit.
——What to do?!
——What to do?!
——What should I do now?!
At the critical moment, his brain was a mess, and he couldn’t think at all.
He wasn’t the type of person who could stay calm and be quick-witted when things went wrong.
Despite the fact that the brawny man in blue was an experienced player, and this was his third film, he was able to pass the first two rounds since seven points were attributed to his luck and three points were reliant on other players.
If one were to use online games as an analogy, Brother Jie was basically a soy sauce player on the periphery of a team battle, even hiding and rubbing, so that other masters would fly.
However, it was precisely because of this approach in the previous two films that his abilities and experience did not improve significantly. He had also subconsciously acquired an evasive mentality, believing that “hiding” could solve any problem. In addition to being strong on the outside and bullying the weak, he was a complete straw bag.
So no one was reliable this time. When he encountered a change, Brother Jie’s reaction was no better than the other four newcomers. He didn’t know what else to do except turn around and run away.
——Can I get out!?
Brother Jie thought in confusion.
——How did the curly baby face escape before?
——Yes, yes, he robbed a car!
——But the parking lot… I blocked the door of the parking lot with sundries!
At this time, the girl’s shrill scream came from behind him.
“Ah ah AH AHH!!!”
In a panic, the girl in the couple’s group tripped over a flashlight and fell to the ground. Then she couldn’t stand up again.
Several owls flying through the dome immediately swooped down and rushed at her.
When the girl’s boyfriend heard her screams, he turned around to rescue her. He pointed the flashlight in her direction. In the aperture, he saw feathers flying and wings fluttering. His girlfriend’s body was fully engulfed with sharp beaks and claws. She only cried for a few seconds, and then, there was no sound at all.
The crotch area of the young man turned wet.
In extreme grief and fear, he didn’t realize that he had peed.
His thoughts had gone blank. Everything seemed blurry to him, whether it was the screech of an owl in his ears or the bloody sight in front of him.
The young man appeared to be experiencing an out-of-body experience. He simply turned around in an instinct to flee and chased after Brother Jie’s back.
A flock of raptors quickly ripped the girl’s body apart, and her flesh and blood were devoured.
The owls that covered her flew up one after another, revealing the fragmented clothes and incomplete body parts on the floor.
After seeing the blood, the owls became more violent.
They screamed and flew into the air in search of the next prey.
One of them flew down towards the strong man in blue, who was the largest and most fleshy.
Even though Brother Jie was scared to death, his survival instinct was still there.
He attempted to grip the pair of razor-sharp claws that were rushing at him.
The claw hook slashed his sleeve and caused three deep and long scratches, but Brother Jie seized it and thrashed it about like a hammer before throwing it out.
These owls appeared to be the size of an adult man at first glance, yet they were, after all, birds. Their hollow bone structure was developed to ensure they were considerably lighter than they appeared.
Brother Jie used his physically enhanced ability with tremendous power, and he threw it out with a full swing, and it happened to hit another owl.
The two strange birds made a sharp cry together, and fell to the ground like billiard balls, and fell on top of the racks.
“Oh!”
The strong man in blue did not expect that his attack would be so successful. He killed two birds with one stone. He clenched his fists with excitement and let out a loud roar. There was a momentary illusion that he could beat them with his bare hands.
However, the next second, his self-confidence, like thin ice under the scorching sun, melted away in the sad scream of the youth.
Two owls pounced on the young man.
Relying on his instinct, he stretched out his hand to block the attack and unexpectedly performed extraordinarily. He grabbed one of the wings and threw it out.
His strength, however, was not as great as that of his Brother Jie’s. He was dragged down by the forward inertia and landed on four limbs
Then another owl landed on his back, pecked hard at the skin on the back of his neck, and ripped the flesh off.
“AHH AHH!!!”
The young man’s pupils contracted, and he could no longer react except to scream.
Immediately, the third and fourth owls also rushed down.
……
“Fuck my luck!”
Seeing the young man being besieged by owls, screaming and rolling on the ground, Brother Jie’s heart suddenly turned cold. He felt that he was probably going to die this time.
Then he noticed another thing—the other two girls were gone!
“Bitches!”
Brother Jie waved his flashlight and crazily looked around.
Soon, he found the whereabouts of the best friend group in the dark.
It turned out that the two girls somehow escaped from the owls, and they were rushing along a corridor on the left wing, and they had already ran several tens of meters.
Thank you for the chapter!
Thank you for the chapter 💛
The only thing trash Jie good at is cursing, even that they’re mediore at best
Lesbians are wild lol
I hope the two girls can escape unscathed.
