Free Web NovelChapter 57: Chapter 57: Fight a Hundred with One
Just one minute before Meiruki and her party left the core area, the medical room, where riots had just erupted, was blaring with alarms, as if to burst people’s eardrums.
The guards remaining in the medical room struggled with all their might to suppress the prisoners. In terms of equipment, they crushed these inmates, and a good number of the prisoners were even shackled.
But the prisoners’ attack was beyond their expectations, catching them completely off guard.
What was more terrifying was that the twin assassins with demon claws had become the backbone of the rioting prisoners.
They used their petite figures to crawl under beds, skittered across the floor like cats, and occasionally popped out from beneath to attack the guards’ shins.
The petrification curse attached to their demon claws meant that a mere scratch would leave one incapacitated within minutes.
Soon they had taken down several guards, and the rioting prisoners rapidly gained the upper hand.
As a guard had just pulled out a gun to shoot a prisoner in the leg, he was immediately knocked down from behind with a stool.
The prisoner who attacked him, Pirate Anna, promptly bent down to snatch the gun from his hand.
Not far away, Bandit Katherine was using the iron chain of her shackles to ferociously strangle another guard’s neck from behind, while laughing loudly, "Make a sound, why don’t you, you lapdog policemen! You’re always so arrogant, aren’t you?"
The prisoners stirred up by Meiruki to join this riot were not only those subservient to her for drugs but also included prisoners like these who harbored grievances, especially against the warden Aiden.
Upon hearing that Meiruki was planning a riot and escape, intending to kill the warden in the process, they joined without hesitation.
However, they were unaware that they were merely the bait Meiruki had arranged to draw the riot police’s main force.
At this moment, the door to the medical room was kicked open, and the force of the kick was so fierce that it sent the door flying off its hinges and into the room.
The prisoners cheered at once, being the ones who had incited the riot, they naturally loved adding fuel to the fire.
The more destruction they saw at the scene, the more excited they became, and seeing the door of the medical room meet its end under such violence, they all instinctively thought it was the jail’s big shots coming in to join the chaos—in fact, Meiruki had indeed assured them of this beforehand. freewebnσvel.cѳm
However, when the newcomer charged into the medical room, the prisoners were stunned on the spot.
The person who arrived was indeed a familiar face, but it was not a prisoner; it was the new captain of the fourth riot squad—Veronica.
Veronica swiftly surveyed the prisoners present, quickly assessing the situation.
She had taken the lead to rush to the medical room, leaving the rest of the riot squad far behind, with a sprint speed that no ordinary human could match.
Under normal circumstances, someone as rash as her usually didn’t last long.
The first to rush into enemy lines, if not a mighty person capable of taking on a hundred, would typically end up slashed to death by the chaotic blades.
But Veronica wasn’t afraid.
Because she indeed was the mighty person capable of taking on a hundred.
Before any of the prisoners could react, she sprung into action, charging at the nearest prisoner, and threw a hook punch that left an afterimage sweeping across their chin, knocking them out immediately.
Another prisoner came charging, but as soon as they swung their fist, she caught it and executed a shoulder throw.
Veronica then leapt onto a hospital bed, dodging a flying tackle from a prisoner, and swept their legs, kicking out several of their teeth.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Pirate Anna aiming a gun at her, and promptly dove under the bed to avoid the gunfire.
Anna was about to take aim again when Veronica had already rolled under the bed on the other side.
As Veronica arose from under the bed, she used her brute strength to flip the entire bed in an instant, throwing it directly at Anna.
Anna’s vision was immediately filled by the entire mattress, and she had to step aside to dodge.
Then, just as she had dodged the iron bed, her shoulder burst into a spray of blood, and the sound of the gunshot made her ears ache—Veronica had risen and drawn her gun to fire a shot at her immediately, and since her opponent had firearms, Anna certainly wasn’t going to hold back.
Anna only felt as if she had been hit, making a dull sound as she fell backward onto the ground; her entire arm went numb, with only her shoulder in excruciating pain.
In just a few seconds, Veronica had taken control of the situation.
She had plenty of experience with chaotic fights like these; when she was a mounted police officer, she had fought gangs in the old city district and had cleared out bandit dens in the outskirts.
Of course, among the criminals, some were also accustomed to such scenarios.
While Veronica was focused on dealing with Anna, the thief Katherine, gripping a stolen police baton, silently approached her from behind.
As Veronica fired her gun, Katherine used the sound of gunfire as cover, leaping and aiming a fierce blow to Veronica’s head.
Having been a marauder leader, fighting mounted police was routine for Katherine, which is why she loathed Veronica, with her mounted police background, more than the other criminals.
With that strike, she intended to bring death, enough to break the neck of an adult.
However, Veronica simply tilted her head and staggered a step, then immediately turned around and punched Katherine in the face, breaking her nose.
Katherine just saw stars before collapsing to the floor, clutching her bleeding nose and staring at Veronica in disbelief.
"A werewolf’s body is very robust," Veronica said, turning back to her with pointed wolf ears now on her head, her eyes wild and aggressive like a wolf’s.
Before Katherine could react, all she saw was Veronica’s foot swooping down, and then everything went dark.
Veronica hadn’t even got a chance to catch her breath when she felt a strange shadow dart out from under the bed, attacking her lower leg.
She instinctively lifted her leg and kicked the assailant away.
The petite figure crashed into the wall, and only then did Veronica realize her opponent was a little girl.
No, make that two.
The other had somehow reached the medicine cabinet nearby and pounced from it, swinging her claws toward the crown of Veronica’s head.
The girl she had just kicked into the wall also braved the pain and charged at her again.
Veronica reacted quickly, turning to the side just in time to dodge the strike from above, then seizing the opportunity, she grabbed the other’s foot and swung her around with all her might like a war hammer, smashing her into the approaching girl.
The twin sisters collided with each other, tumbling over.
Veronica had not only the superior physical agility of a werewolf but was also skilled in police combat techniques and had extensive battle experience. The twin assassins’ devilish claws were dangerous indeed, but their fighting skills were still notably inferior. frёeωebɳovel.com
Watching the two children endure their pain and struggle to stand up for another round, Veronica felt a moment’s pity, but the next moment she thought to herself that if Aiden were here, he definitely wouldn’t show mercy to these twin assassins.
"Surrender now, or I won’t be lenient!" she steeled herself and issued the warning to the twins.
The twins hesitated almost not at all, with cold, mechanical expressions; they charged at Veronica once more.
