Su Yan heard the noise but ignored it, continuing to sprint silently.
If I truly can’t escape, I won’t hesitate to put Director Zhang down and see if I can save my own life.
The giant squirrel behind him was extremely fast; Su Yan, at his Half-step Legendary Level, was no match for it. In just a few seconds, it had closed the distance to less than a hundred meters.
"Director Zhang, I’ve done my best."
Hearing the footsteps drawing ever closer from behind, Su Yan gave up on the rescue. He put Director Zhang down and chose to flee alone.
However, the pursuing giant squirrel ignored Director Zhang on the ground. Instead, it fixed its attention on Su Yan, who was still sprinting ahead.
As it ran, it suddenly launched itself with a powerful thrust of its hind legs, its enormous body soaring into the air.
The next moment, with a loud BANG, the Half-step Epic level giant squirrel landed right in front of Su Yan, blocking his path.
Facing the massive giant squirrel, Su Yan cursed inwardly, Damn, it’s over!
But just when he thought he was about to die for nothing, the giant squirrel in front of him suddenly shrieked in fright. Its face conveyed sheer terror, its limbs trembling uncontrollably, as though it had seen something horrifying.
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!"
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!"
The giant squirrel was so terrified it wet itself. After a few squeaks, it turned tail and fled.
Watching the giant squirrel flee in panic, Su Yan was somewhat baffled for a moment.
What is going on? he wondered. Could a titan have come to the rescue?
But when he looked around, all he saw were the injured, lying on the ground and howling in pain. He saw no sign of any titan descending from the heavens to rescue them.
This was utterly perplexing.
Just as Su Yan was utterly confused, another Legendary Level giant squirrel made eye contact with him. Then, the expression on the squirrel’s face wildly changed, as if its soul had fled from fear. Without saying a word, it turned and ran, as if afraid to stay for even one more second.
Witnessing this, Su Yan’s curiosity was piqued. Without a second thought, he chased after it to see what was happening.
He pursued it all the way, eventually returning to where it all seemed to have begun: near the restroom and the floor-to-ceiling windows.
There, he saw the ground littered with the wounded, and three giant squirrels frantically trying to squeeze through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The one whose Creature Level reached Epic level seemed to sense someone’s gaze and instinctively turned to look. It saw Su Yan, who had just arrived. The squirrel was so terrified it nearly wet itself and scrambled madly to get through the window.
Soon, with a series of dull PFFTS, the three giant squirrels plunged through the window and vanished. Just moments before, they had been violently attacking the members of the human race.
Just when everyone thought the ordeal was over, the Epic level giant squirrel suddenly poked half of its body back out through the window. Then there were a few thuds, and it tossed out six figures from within.
One of the examinees had a broken arm. His face was deathly pale, and he looked extremely weak.
This... Were these the six students who had previously gone missing?
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
