The night was just beginning to quiet down, and everyone was asleep.
In a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, snowflakes fell gently from the sky like white cotton, softly and peacefully covering the streets and alleys of the entire city.
Under the blanket of silver, only this silvery-white light remained between heaven and earth, as if even the stars and starlight in the sky were covered up, with only the white cotton-like fluff and snowflakes continuing to drift and dance.
A cold wind blew by, stirring up a sky full of white snow, blowing down countless tiny, sparkling snowflakes that danced and drifted in all directions like goose feathers.
A biting cold wind howled past, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, leaving only a few hurried figures, wrapped tightly in their cotton-padded coats, running quickly into the distance.
Just then, on a main road in Jingnan City, a sudden screech of brakes was heard, followed by a muffled thud.
Immediately, a figure rushed out of the car, stumbling and running away into the distance.
The figure seemed extremely flustered, dropping the food in its hands and ignoring it, before disappearing into the dark alley ahead.
Immediately afterwards, piercing sirens blared, and several police cars sped past, stopping right next to the car that had crashed into the roadside.
Then, countless well-dressed special police officers filed out of the vehicles and dispersed in an orderly fashion, like a spider web, covering almost all the surrounding terrain and forming a thick protective circle.
At this moment, the figure who had already fled into the old town still did not give up and continued to run forward desperately, weaving through the dim alleys.
He was incredibly fast; using both hands and feet, he disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, only to suddenly emerge from the darkness again and continue running.
"What's the situation on the scene? How much longer until we can make the arrest?"
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man got out of the police car. He was closely monitoring the surrounding situation and then asked the team members next to him a question.
His eyes revealed a sharp, murderous aura, which, combined with a scar running from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth, made him look extremely menacing.
His teammates immediately replied:
"Reporting to Captain Liu, the entire area has been sealed off. However, since this area is close to Zhongshan Wharf, the riverside control will take some time. We cannot rule out the possibility that the target may use the river to escape!"
"Hurry up and narrow the encirclement. Teams 3 and 4, go around to the rear and block all the roads leading to the river. Make sure to capture the target within fifteen minutes."
It is crucial to remember that we can no longer treat our targets as ordinary people.
It's highly likely that this guy has already awakened some kind of ability through other means; if necessary, he can be killed on the spot!
"yes!"
Hearing his team members relaying his orders, the burly SWAT team captain Liu Zhe cursed under his breath before reporting the situation to headquarters.
As the year draws to a close, all sorts of strange and monstrous things emerge. The police station was already short-staffed, and now there are suddenly many more cases of citizens going berserk and wantonly injuring people.
The colleagues at the police station didn't take it seriously at first, treating it as a common citizen dispute case. However, they didn't expect that in just three days, several officers from the police station would be injured.
It should be noted that the vast majority of these crazed citizens are ordinary people who have not awakened their special talents, and when the police officers from the local station are dispatched, there will always be an awakened officer leading the team.
Even so, it was utterly unbelievable that these awakened beings were injured by unarmed ordinary people.
The Jingnan City Public Security Bureau attaches great importance to this incident. Liu Zhe and his special police team were dispatched immediately, but so far, more and more victims have emerged.
Moreover, as time went on, these crazed individuals became increasingly worse, and some even developed physical mutations.
To avoid causing unnecessary panic, the police force temporarily suppressed these messages, but unexpectedly, there were more and more of them, and now it's almost impossible to suppress them.
These damned manic patients are like those who have eaten unprocessed alien meat, restless and venting their emotions indiscriminately. But there is one difference: in the past, these smuggled meats were usually consumed by awakened individuals.
These guys are awakened ability users, so they don't dare to eat too much, and they only eat a little bit each time.
Moreover, they will carefully hide themselves, like rats in the sewers, hoping that they will be the lucky ones who will not encounter any problems and will eventually succeed in breaking through and advancing.
Even if a few individuals go insane due to excessive consumption, it is only a very small minority.
These madmen either died somewhere in the shadows, left to rot away unnoticed, or they were reported by the surrounding crowd before they went insane, arrested in time, and sent for treatment, thus preventing such a huge mess.
In other words, even if one goes mad or becomes mentally unstable after consuming unprocessed beast meat, it is a slow, gradual process.
But this incident is clearly different.
This time, the main target group turned out to be ordinary people, ordinary people who had never awakened, and these crazy ordinary people also showed bizarre abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.
