Wu Tian did not refuse Li Xingyun's kind offer.
He left a phone number and then bid farewell to Li Xingyun, heading to the county public security bureau.
Zhou Xueming led Wu Tian inside, all the way to the bureau's basement.
Public security bureaus generally do not detain prisoners, but if there are extremely heinous individuals awaiting sentencing by the court, they are usually held in the basement of the bureau for greater security.
To be safe, Zhou Xueming had brought several elite officers, all equipped with assault rifles loaded with full magazines, to prevent any unforeseen incidents with Hu Fa.
The underground space was quite large, divided into many cells by reinforced steel bars with a diameter of 25mm.
However, as there were no particularly vicious criminals in the county town, it was usually empty.
Before Wu Tian had even fully entered the underground area, he heard fierce roars.
And when he emerged from the stairwell, the dense cacophony of roars was almost deafening.
Zhou Xueming and the others were very tense, their hands gripping their firearms tightly, ready to open fire at any moment if anything went wrong.
Wu Tian, on the other hand, was much calmer. His gaze slightly serious, he walked to a cell.
Inside the cell, there was a cage, and within the cage were people who had transformed into monsters.
Zhou Xueming explained, "When we apprehended them, we used iron cages directly. Later, we didn't dare to release them, so we brought them in along with the cages."
Wu Tian nodded and began to observe the monsters.
These monsters were identical to the bald man. Their bodies were covered in blood and wounds, and there were two terrifying blood holes on their necks.
They clung to the cage bars, roaring, and scarlet blood flowed onto the floor, seeming as if it would never stop.
The strong smell of blood made even the experienced police officers involuntarily cover their noses.
Looking at the monsters, Wu Tian's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
He hadn't expected the situation to be this dire.
A rough count revealed over twenty monsters, and with the bald man, that made twenty-one victims.
Normally, even just this many deaths would be a major social news story, let alone the fact that these people had all turned into monsters.
Wu Tian was certain that something was behind these transformations.
It might not even be human involvement!
Twenty-one victims had appeared now; what about tomorrow, or the day after?
If that entity didn't stop its attacks, wouldn't it ultimately lead to the end of the world?
Thinking of this, Wu Tian felt a sense of urgency.
This matter had to be resolved quickly, otherwise, setting aside other places, this county town alone would fall into chaos!
Seeing that he remained silent, Zhou Xueming asked from the side, "Brother, do you have any leads now? Could this be some kind of bio-weapon virus?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Although I'm not sure of the cause, this should have nothing to do with medical biology."
"See the blood holes on their necks, don't you find them familiar?"
Zhou Xueming blinked, then as if struck by a thought, blurted out, "Oh my god, were they bitten by zombies?!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Zombies, vampires, or some other kind of monster, your guesses are all possible."
"In short, these people are not ordinary mutations; they are already dead and are purely sustained by some kind of energy.
"Think about it, how can a person who is already dead be killed again?"
Zhou Xueming's face instantly turned pale, feeling as if his worldview had been shattered.
He stammered, "If you say so, then what should we do now?"
"These monsters can't be killed by fighting them, are we supposed to drop bombs in the city?"
Zhou Xueming's intention was simple: if these creatures were unkillable, then simply blowing them to pieces with bombs would solve the problem.
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "No, the situation is already chaotic. If you were to do something like that in the city, wouldn't it be like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own?"
"If you want to deal with them, there are ways."
"For example, my friend and I just dealt with one, didn't we?"
Zhou Xueming quickly said, "Yes, how exactly did you do it?"
Wu Tian said, "It's very simple, the weakness of these monsters is their heart. If you break their heart, they are definitely dead."
"Is that so," Zhou Xueming nodded. "But is what you're saying true, that attacking their hearts will solve the problem?"
Seeing Zhou Xueming's doubtful expression, Wu Tian understood that Zhou Xueming had his concerns.
After all, such a situation was too dangerous, leaving no room for error, or their police force would suffer heavy losses.
Wu Tian said, "How about this, watch closely."
With that, Wu Tian casually flicked his hand towards the cell. A silver light shot out, hitting the monster's heart.
Instantly, blood splattered, and the monster let out a tragic howl before collapsing like mud in the cage.
"This!" Seeing this, Zhou Xueming was astonished.
"It seems this is true, brother, how did you know this?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What, do you think I caused this situation?"
Zhou Xueming knew Wu Tian was joking.
So he said sheepishly, "How could that be? I know your character, brother, you would never do such a thing."
Wu Tian said, "Alright, since you now know the monsters' weakness, you should attack their hearts from now on."
"This way, perhaps fewer casualties will occur."
Zhou Xueming nodded and said, "I understand, but they are too ferocious and too fast. It's quite difficult to hit their hearts directly."
"After all, with a vital spot like the heart, during our apprehension, we must have hit it a few times."
"But not a single monster was killed, which shows how difficult it is."
Wu Tian felt that Zhou Xueming's words were not unreasonable.
He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, starting today, I'll stay at your bureau."
"I won't leave until the source is found. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Wu Tian's words startled Zhou Xueming.
"There's no need to go to such lengths. I can request more support from higher up, and that should be enough to resolve this."
"After all, we know their weakness now, don't we?"
