Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 143 Night Attack

In early June, while high school seniors across the provinces were making their final push for mock exams, the superhumans on the southeastern sea front were also fighting a bloody battle.

Everything happened so suddenly, giving no one a chance to warn them, but fortunately, it was Chu Deng's first shift that night.

In the dead of night, several crows suddenly cawed loudly. Zero, with his exceptional hearing, was the first to notice something was wrong, followed by the Level 2 ability users who were waking up from their sleep. The Level 1 users were awakened by the actions of the Level 2 users getting up, and so the entire base came to life one by one.

On the dimly lit beach, one of the five people on duty had already fallen. Dark tentacles swiftly pierced towards the one who had fallen behind. Chu Deng looked up and could only see the black and white striped shoes of that person gradually disappearing.

“Ga! Ga ga ga!!”

The crows on guard by the tree were cawing, their hoarse calls making the patrol team somewhat flustered.

"Why are the crows cawing? I have a bad feeling about this."

"Warning! A strange beast is attacking!"

Chu Deng stepped on the oncoming tentacle, and flames burned along the tentacle, as if outlining the beast with crimson light. The tentacle was ignited like a firecracker, and the flames spread, enveloping the black beast in the blink of an eye. The red light revealed the beast's figure, and when everyone looked up, they realized that the mutated octopus was actually so close to them.

A new recruit jumped several meters away, while the two veterans worked together in an orderly fashion to kill the octopus in the flames.

"Damn it! Xiao Wang is dead!" The one who was closer to the octopus saw through the flames released by Chu Deng that the octopus was dead and its body was hidden under the base of its tentacles. When he realized it was his teammate, he couldn't help but curse. He dragged Xiao Wang out with one hand, whose face had been eaten and whose eyeballs were only half left. At least he was left with a whole body.

Just as the three of them relaxed their tense nerves slightly, a five-meter-long fish bared its long teeth, its sharp teeth covered with bits of flesh and blood from who-knows-where, and bit into the air.

Chu Deng's fist slammed straight down onto the head of the big fish. The flames burned away the protective membrane on the smooth fish skin, and with a sizzle, the big fish became a roasted fish under the intense heat of the fire.

"Wow--"

As if provoked by something, one after another, strange beasts emerged and attacked their patrol team of only four remaining members.

Chu Deng cautiously took a few steps back, looking suspiciously at the churning sea. The deep water could not block the perception of a level five ability user.

The red light representing biological thermal imaging illuminated the seabed, and the figures of strange beasts filled the field of vision, turning Chu Deng's eyes crimson.

"These beasts have gone mad!"

"When will the reinforcements arrive?!"

"We can't get there! It's not just here; wherever there are people on the beach, strange beasts keep appearing!"

"Stay away from them?!"

"No! A squad has already been wiped out, like a sharp sword piercing the land. Mr. Zero has gone to provide priority support over there!"

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The blood of monsters and human superhumans mingles in the seawater, and the beaches along the entire coastline are covered with the corpses of dead monsters and humans.

As the sun slowly rose above the sea and its golden rays shone on everyone, the monsters in the sea slowed their attack. The superhumans who had fought so hard to pin the monsters to the beach were finally able to catch their breath.
