Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-153

"Shoot, shoot!" shouted the chief of police.

The heavily armed men fired non-stop in the direction of the animal monsters. It was an even more terrifying scenario than that of a movie. The destruction caused by these monsters was myriad, and several people were victimized and killed by these monsters.

Car alarms, screams, and cries were echoing from everywhere. Some people lost their arms and legs and were bleeding to death.

The road was ruined, and it was not easy to escape. Most were injured. Even if they wanted to, they had no strength.

"Quick, don't stand still! Run away!" the police chief shouted.

A busload of people was about to be attacked by a blue-haired gorilla, but with the sound of "Pow!" the blue gorilla took a very strong punch in his chest and flew towards the edge of the bridge. Hitting the curb, the blue gorilla bounced and passed over the bridge's railing and fell into the river.

Luan, who had arrived, stabilized the bus, preventing it from turning. People inside the bus screamed in dread and fear. Even when they saw Luan's actions, they were still very scared. After all, many people had already died there. It was not an experience that they would easily forget just because they were saved.

Ingrid, with her long blond hair flying in the wind, jumped and kicked the head of a lion while simultaneously punching the head of a kangaroo.

Unlike Luan, Ingrid did not know how to control her strength and direction well. Because of that, the kangaroo almost 300 cm high barely avoided hitting the bus. Luckily, Luan reacted quickly and attacked, making the kangaroo go towards the sea, almost falling on top of the blue gorilla.

*Sigh~*

Ingrid felt her heart pounding. Luckily, Luan was there too.

"I'm sorry." she said as she bent towards Luan, feeling guilty.

Seeing her guilty expression, Luan said softly, "It doesn't matter. Just try not to use so much force and analyze where the monster will be launched."

"Yeah." Ingrid nodded frankly. She knew she had to be more careful.

In the meantime, people were stunned and almost unresponsive to see what Luan and Ingrid were capable of. After all, not even firearms were doing well.

"How can they be so strong?" Disbelief was written on the policeman's face. They had tried very hard to bring down just one monster, meanwhile, Luan and Ingrid managed to do it alone so easily.

"Isn't he Luan Dimas?" Someone identified him and exclaimed, "If it is, this strength that he and the girl showed, is it because of the game!?"

If true, many were now willing to play that game.

"Don't just stand there and talk," the chief of police said, "Even if they are helping, we cannot stand still or it will all have been in vain. Now we are going to save the injured people!"

"Yeah!" The policemen stopped chatting at random and started to act and save people who could not walk.

"Use the bus." Luan pulled the bus back to the road.

"Oh..." Swallowing, the police chief said, "Yes, thank you."

Now was not the time to ask a lot of questions, although he was very curious about how strong Luan and Ingrid might be.

"Help any injured people get on the bus. We are driving to the nearest hospital!" shouted the chief of police.

Meanwhile, Ingrid and Luan prevented the monsters from attacking other people, and now, Ingrid did not attack randomly, rather she calculated before making any move.

A woman who was about to be attacked when she got out of her car screamed in fear.

*Whoosh!*

A metallic object tore the wind. The black hawk who was about to hit the woman with his sharp claws felt dizzy with severe pain in his head as an object hit his head.

"Don't just stand there, run!" Luan said coldly.

"Y-Yes!" The woman did not dare to keep standing there. She thanked Luan in her heart and started running in the opposite direction from the monsters.

It was a dark night, and the pole lights were not working due to a short circuit. Because of this, the fleeing woman stumbled a few times and fell once, but soon got up and continued to run, not daring to look back.

At that moment, Luan's phone rang. He picked it up and answered it.

"Luan? It's Elias."

"I know," Luan answered frankly.

"Oh, right. I'm thinking of taking the people you're having me train along to kill the monsters here in Florianópolis. Is there a problem if I do that?" Elias asked.

"Do it," Luan replied, "There is no need to worry. The current changes need drastic measures. I am also helping here in Rio de Janeiro. In fact, send someone to protect a father and daughter pair. They live in São José."

Then he sent Sebastian's location.

Knowing that Sebastian was someone important to Amanda, Luan wanted to help him.

Beside him, Ingrid was touched. And how could she have not been? She knew he was doing this because of her. And of course, she was completely happy to hear that. She also called her mother and told her that Luan had sent someone to protect Sebastian and his daughter.

"ROARRRRR!"

A 400 cm tall brown gorilla hit the ground hard, making the bridge shudder. He then ran towards Luan and Ingrid fiercely.

"I'm going to be busy now. I'm hanging up," Luan said and Elias was smart enough to understand that some monster was running towards him since he heard a beast roar.

Storing his cell phone in his pants pocket, Luan looked coldly at the brown gorilla. He almost used <Blue Impulse>, but as he didn't want to draw more attention than necessary, so instead Luan ran normally. However, even his normal running speed was faster than many cars and motorbikes. In no time at all, he stood in front of the gorilla.

*Bang!*

His punch hit the gorilla's punch. The difference in the size of their hands was visible. It was like comparing a flower with a tree. However, the one who had the advantage was Luan, who broke two fingers of the brown gorilla and made him retreat while screaming in pain and anger.

"My God! Is this kid insanely strong?!" someone shouted in disbelief, mouth wide open.

"Wow!"

A wave of sighs echoed among the policemen who stayed to protect the people. It was amazing that Luan could gain an advantage against such a giant and incredibly powerful gorilla.

Among the policemen, there was one who had a camera on his helmet and recorded the whole scene. Little did he know that because of this he would be interviewed in several locations, and it would also be an obligation to have cameras on police helmets. Also, because of the video, Luan and Ingrid became famous and the credit all went to the game. This only made the game more popular.

"Do not waste time. Flee!" said the chief of police.

'Idiots.' Among the people fleeing, there was a man in a suit and tie, holding a briefcase as if it were an irreplaceable treasure. He looked in the direction of Luan and Ingrid and laughed, full of ridicule. He found their actions to be somewhat regrettable. Despite wanting to help people, what good is it if you die in the end?

His name is Robson de Oliveira, a successful businessman who believed it was better to do something for oneself than for others. Because of this, despite being 42 years old, he was never married and had no children since he was paranoid and afraid of being robbed and killed by any potential wife and children.

In his mind, Luan and Ingrid's chances of surviving were almost nil. 'At least this way they'll give me a chance to get away.' A mocking smile formed on his face as he ran around holding his black briefcase.

With his blood red eyes, the gorilla once again attacked in the direction of Luan, but this time with his uninjured hand.

*Bang!*

Unlike before, Luan used even more strength. His fist sank into the gorilla's fist and like a fist hitting a soft sofa, deepening further and further, Luan's hand sank in as the gorilla's hand turned purple until blood started to come out. Luan's fist tore the skin and broke the bones, making the brown gorilla's fingers hang only by thin threads.

The gorilla screamed even more in pain. It was unbearable, and before he could react or even roar, Luan jumped and with both hands he clapped on the gorilla's head with open hands.

The gorilla's ears buzzed and blood flowed the moment his eardrums burst. The impact was so strong that it affected his brain, destroying neurons and slightly crushing his skull.

The gorilla's eyes rolled to the back of their sockets, and he fell to the ground lifeless.

It was no accident that the man thought that Luan and Ingrid would die if they stayed. After all, there were many monsters, and as much as one person might be strong, it was humanly impossible to kill an entire horde. At least that was what many thought.

In addition, the monsters that appeared were all of various animal types. Their instincts were out of the ordinary, and many policemen have died because of the animals' instincts.

Almost half an hour later the police ran out of ammunition, but luckily they managed to evacuate everyone. Ingrid and Luan were fine. They killed many monsters, but they didn't even break a sweat. However, they disguised it a little, pretending that they were somewhat tired.

It was also at that moment that the army arrived, and with heavy weapons they shot and killed the remainder of the horde of monsters.
