Chapter 57:
One Against a Hundred
Just a minute before Meirujinu and her group left the core area, the infirmary where the riot had just erupted, echoed with alarms as if trying to rupture eardrums.
The prison guards left in the infirmary struggled to suppress the inmates. In terms of equipment, they overwhelmed the prisoners, and a considerable number of them were even wearing shackles.
However, the inmates' attack exceeded their expectations, catching them completely off guard.
What was even more terrifying was that the twin assassins with demonic claws became the backbone of the rioting prisoners.
Using their petite figures, they slipped under beds like cats, darting along the floor and occasionally emerging to attack the guards' shins.
The petrifying curse attached to their demonic claws meant that just a scratch would render the victim combat ineffective within minutes.
Soon, they had taken down several guards, and the side of the rioting prisoners quickly gained the upper hand.
As a guard just about to pulled out his gun to shoot a prisoner in the leg, he was immediately knocked down from behind with a stool.
The attacker, was the Pirate Anna, she leaned over and skillfully disarmed him.
Not far away, the bandit Catherine was using the iron chain of the shackles to forcefully strangle another guard from behind while laughing, "Squeak, you lapdog police! Aren't you usually very arrogant?"
The inmates incited by Meirujinu to participate in this riot weren't just drug addicts who followed her obediently for the drugs. There were also those, like them, who held grievances against the prison guards, especially the Warden Aiden.
As soon as they heard about Meirujinu plan to launch a riot for escape and to kill the warden, they joined without hesitation.
However, they were still unaware that they were just pawns arranged by Meirujinu to attract the main force of the riot squad.
At this moment, someone forcefully kicked open the infirmary door, with such ferocity that the door panel separated from the frame and flew into the room.
The inmates cheered simultaneously; they were the ones initiating the riot and naturally enjoyed the chaos. The more violence unfolded, the more excited they became.
Seeing the medical room's door meet its end under the force of violence, they instinctively thought it was the big shots from inside the prison coming to join in—a notion Meirujinu had indeed assured them of beforehand.
However, as the intruder rushed into the medical room, the inmates were immediately stunned.
It was indeed a familiar face, but it's not a fellow prisoner; it was Veronica, the new captain of the fourth riot squad.
(Tn: the inmates be like why did i hear a boss music)
Veronica quickly surveyed the inmates and swiftly assessed the situation. She had taken the lead in rushing to the infirmary, leaving the other member of the riot squad behind.
With her sprinting speed, ordinary humans couldn't hope to catch up.
Normally, someone as reckless as her wouldn't survive for long. The vanguard charging into enemy lines usually met a gruesome end, being hacked to death by chaotic blades, unless she have the strength capable of taking a hundreds.
However, Veronica wasn't afraid.
Because she indeed was a formidable force capable of taking on a hundred.
Before the inmates could react, she took action, charging towards the nearest one. And struck out with an uppercut and left an afterimage that swept across their jaw, immediately rendering them unconscious.
Another inmate rushed at her, throwing a punch, but she caught them and executed a shoulder throw.
Veronica then swiftly leaped onto a hospital bed, evading a lunging attacker and kicking them in the face, sending a few teeth flying.
At that moment, Veronica caught a glimpse of Pirate Anna raising a gun aiming at her, She immediately taking cover under the bed to evade the shot.
Anna aimed again, but Veronica had already rolled to the other side under a different bed.
Veronica rose from under the bed, relying on her strength to lift the entire bed in an instant, and tossing it directly at Anna.
The bed blocked Anna's view, forcing her to step aside to avoid it.
as soon as she dodged the metal bed, a gunshot rang out, making her ears ache. Veronica, having quickly risen and pulled out a gun, fired a shot without hesitation.
Anna felt a blunt impact, causing her to collapse to the ground, She felt her arm numb and her shoulder in intense pain.
In a matter of seconds, Veronica regained control of the situation.
She had experience in chaotic brawls from her days as a mounted police officer dealing with inner-city gangs and clearing out rural bandit hideouts.
Of course, among the inmates, there were those familiar with such situations as well.
While Veronica focused on dealing with Anna, the bandit Catherine, armed with a stolen police baton, silently approached her from behind.
When Veronica fired her gun, Catherine, using the cover of the gunshot, leaped and delivered a fierce blow to Veronica's head.
Catherine was originally a leader of bandits, engaged in skirmishes with mounted police was a common occurrence for her. Therefore, she harbored a stronger aversion toward Veronica, who hailed from the mounted police.
Her swing was lethal enough to break an adult's neck,
yet Veronica merely staggered, tilting her head to the side. And Without hesitation, she turned around and delivered a punch directly to Catherine's face, breaking her nose.
Catherine felt a flash of stars before finding herself on the ground, blood streaming from her nose.
She stared at Veronica with a disbelief expression writen all over her face.
"Werewolves have sturdy bodies," Veronica retorted, glaring at her. Pointed wolf ears had sprouted on her head, and her wild, aggressive eyes reflected the nature of a wolf.
Before Catherine could react, Veronica's foot descended, and everything went black.
Veronica barely had time to catch her breath when she sensed a mysterious figure darting from under the bed, attacking her legs.
She instinctively kicked, sending the assailant flying.
As the small figure collided with the wall, Veronica realized her opponent was a young girl.
No, it's two young girls.
The other girl, who had somehow leaped onto a nearby medicine cabinet, lunged out, wielding claws and aiming for Veronica's head.
The girl who previously kicked to the wall limped back and rushed over again.
Veronica reacted swiftly, dodging the strike aimed at her head and seizing the girl's foot. With a powerful swing, she slammed the girl into the approaching one.
The twins collided and tumbled.
Veronica not only possessed exceptional werewolf physical abilities but also had police combat training and extensive battle experience. Although the demonic claws of the twin assassins were dangerous, their combat skills fell short.
Watching the two children bravely stand up, ready for another round despite their injuries, Veronica felt a momentary twinge of reluctance.
However, the next moment, she thought that if Aiden were present, he wouldn't show mercy to these twin assassins.
"Surrender, or I won't hold back!" Veronica hardened her resolve, issuing a warning to the twins.
The twins didn't hesitate, with their cold and mechanical expressions. Once again, they charged at Veronica.
