After missing the first attack, the strange creature became more and more violent, making gurgling sounds with its mouth and chasing Shen Qiu at an accelerated speed.
Shen Qiu clearly felt that he was being caught up, and the sound of approaching was getting louder and louder. It was obvious that his explosive power was not as high as the opponent's. If he continued running like this, he would definitely die.
At this time, Shen Qiu looked around and made a decisive decision. He turned to the side and ran around the two-story square house next to him.
The strange creature used too much force and rushed over his head. When it turned around to buffer, Shen Qiu had already taken the opportunity to create some distance between them.
Then the strange creature accelerated again and chased after it. Shen Qiu accelerated and took the ugly monster with him, running in circles around the dilapidated house. At the same time, he quickly observed the structure of the house. His sharp eyes caught the broken wall on the west side of the house, and his eyes moved slightly.
One lap! Two laps!
When they went around the third circle, the ugly monster rushed out from the corner and suddenly lost sight of Shen Qiu.
It became more and more aggressive and ran faster, running around the building non-stop.
At this time, on the top of the building, Shen Qiu was lying on the roof, holding his breath, quietly stealing glances at the monster.
Just a moment ago, Shen Qiu used the broken wall on the west side of the building to climb up at lightning speed and shook off the monster.
Judging from the current results, his approach seems to be very successful. Of course, Shen Qiu did not relax, and the crisis was not resolved.
He didn't understand the characteristics of this monster. If it had a keen sense of smell and a high IQ, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, Shen Qiu was ready to escape at any time.
Fortunately, Shen Qiu's luck seemed to be very good. The ugly monster's intelligence and sense of smell seemed to be really poor. After circling around frantically for more than ten times, it left angrily.
“Huh~”
Shen Qiu looked at its receding back and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Shen Qiu shifted his gaze to the four-story building not far away. He took a deep breath and then climbed down.
After landing, Shen Qiu groped his way over carefully.
This time he got into the building very smoothly. The lobby on the first floor was well decorated, with tilted furniture and broken electrical appliances everywhere.
It was obvious that the owner of this house was wealthier than the one he had searched before.
Shen Qiu took a quick look at the layout of the first floor and quietly walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen was also a mess, with broken bowls and knives and forks everywhere.
Shen Qiu reached out and picked up a twelve-centimeter-long fruit knife, waving it a few times.
To be honest, if Shen Qiu hadn't bitten off the steel pipe before, he wouldn't have chosen this fruit knife. Because this kind of knife is not very effective against machines or monsters.
Shen Qiu calmly began to search the cupboard, but unfortunately he didn't find anything valuable.
He then gave up on the kitchen and began searching other areas.
Forty minutes later, Shen Qiu appeared on the 4th floor with a pile of things in front of him.
A clock-shaped backpack made of unknown material, but very tough, a bracelet with a broken screen, two books with complex patterns, and a yellow unknown gem ring.
Shen Qiu looked at the things he had searched out, his expression becoming more and more solemn. He still hadn't found the weapons he wanted.
Also, during the search, Shen Qiu realized a very bad thing, that is, he did not find any food or water.
Shen Qiu couldn't be sure now whether it was just his luck or this city didn't exist at all.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu also felt a little tired. He put all the things piled in front of him into his schoolbag, then leaned against the wall, ready to take a short rest.
The previous crazy escape made him a little exhausted.

City of Clear Skies
Tenth Ring Road Xilin Street Guard Bureau.
Ring Ring
All the landline phones in the guard station started ringing almost as soon as they were put down.
The staff on duty kept answering the phone with sweat all over their foreheads!
"This is the Xilin Street Guard Bureau. How can I help you?"
…
"Ah? Someone is missing over there too?"
…
"Where did they disappear, how long have they been missing, and how many people are missing?"
…
"We will send someone as soon as possible."
…
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a senior security uniform and with a scar on his face was walking back and forth anxiously, listening to the alarm calls.
"Director, what should we do? We have received thousands of reports of missing persons. The situation is worst at the Tianqing Canal, where the most people have gone missing!"
"What's the point of you telling me? Let A Tai investigate!"
Zhang Lu said irritably.
"Uh, that Atai is also missing, and we can't contact him."
"What did you say?"
Zhang Lu was also confused.
"In fact, it's not just A Tai who's missing. Many of our colleagues are missing. We were already short of manpower, and now we're even short of manpower. What should we do?"
"Calm down all those who called the police and report the matter to the higher authorities! This is not something we can handle."
Zhang Lu's expression changed as he spoke.
"yes!"
…
Inside the Red Alliance Holy Word Hall.
Council Chairman Long Yan sat quietly in the main seat, while council members wearing white mechanical masks reported uneasily.
"In the territory of the Red League, the number of reported missing persons has reached 53,211, and the number is still increasing explosively."
"The people we sent to investigate the scene did not find any clues. It was as if those people had disappeared out of thin air. And the disappearances were even worse than we imagined, because it was not just ordinary people who were missing. There were also soldiers, wealthy businessmen, military officers, and even three of our congressmen who were missing."
"The Ministry of Communications has sent a message that all networks have been temporarily shut down to prevent the situation from escalating and causing panic among the people."
"In the Red Alliance District 7, there were cases of people being attacked and killed by unknown creatures."
…
Long Yan listened to all the reports quietly and said hoarsely.
"Based on the intelligence we have so far, basically all incidents started at 6pm, right?"
"Yes."
The congressman in charge of reporting nodded in response.
"Well, don't panic. The most urgent thing is to do our best to find the missing persons. As long as we find one, everything will be clear."
Long Yan said calmly.
"That's what the Council President said."
Many members of parliament present nodded in response.
Long Yan then slowly stood up and spoke in a deep voice.
"I have one more thing to announce. In order to deal with various sudden bizarre incidents, I will propose to select elite personnel from various departments of the Red Alliance to form a new special response organization and establish a KPI department! Anyone who has any opinions can raise them. If not, it will be approved directly as it is an emergency."
The many members present looked at each other and no one objected.
“Since there is no objection, the KPI department is officially established.”
Long Yan finalized the matter.
