Master of the End Times Chapter 3

Chapter 3
Qin Feng pushed Zhou Hao aside and swung a fist at the razor-fanged infant .
1He was much slower than the monster, yet as if by coincidence, when he threw the punch, the razor-fanged infant came towards its head first .
Bam!
It sounded like the squishing of a grand, big, juicy watermelon . Red and greyish brain matter splattered everywhere .
1Qin Feng frowned at this—not because the scene was too gruesome but the flesh on his knuckles that had been ripped off by the force of that strike .
Too weak! Qin Feng could not remember the last time he possessed such a frail and puny body .
4But when he narrowed his eyes slightly, his tea-colored iris darkened as dark as night; an invisible strength came through the monster infant’s body into his .
4The wound on his hand quickly turned into a scab . It shed off, completely healing itself as if he had never been injured in the first place .
This was Qin Feng’s talent!
Absorption!
2Qin Feng’s expression was a mixture of surprise and excitement!
He recalled how in his past life, he thought that he was invincible as his abilities had been awakened . He had been so excited that he had announced it to the world . In the end, his talent had been robbed from him and was only left with the ability to absorb dead monsters’ self-strengthening abilities . That little bit of power had barely helped him to survive .
7Right now, his talent was not destroyed . Did that mean that he was much stronger?
Qin Feng could feel that after he absorbed the energy from the razor-fanged infant, his physical body had gotten a lot tougher . A total of ten razor-fanged infants could at least boost his physique to G2 tier .
If that was the case, what was he waiting for then?
2Qin Feng had not felt so excited in such a long time now!
When they saw their kind getting killed, the razor-fanged infants charged angrily towards the attacker from afar .

Two monsters flanked Qin Feng . One on the left and the other on the right .
Qin Feng shuffled backward, evading the attempt to close in on him .
He reached into his waist and pulled out a small dagger less than fifteen centimeters, and took a calculated slash at one of the razor-fanged infants .
Argh!!!
The monster’s throat was sliced open, and its tiny body dropped to the ground, its neck and head clinging to each other only by a layer of skin .
2Fresh, warm blood spilled all over the ground .
Qin Feng raised a leg and kicked the second razor-fanged baby, sending it sliding three meters backward .
5So, as to not waste this opportunity, Qin Feng threw himself at the creature and swished the dagger downwards, plunging it into the razor-fanged infant’s chest, not stopping until he could he feel the blade hit the hard ground!
3One of the razor-fanged infants let out a shrill cry that resembled a cat yowling . The noise, which also sounded a little bit like a baby crying, drew another group of infants toward Qin Feng .
1The latter remained composed as he made some calculations on how to tackle the creatures sequentially .
1His rich experience in battling was more than enough to help him combat these unsightly abominations of nature .
The only thing was, his body could not catch up with his rhythm . All around him, the monsters were slowly closing on him, ready to tear him apart .
Then, it pounced without warning!
Crunch!!!
One of them sank their teeth into Qin Feng, sending a blinding shock in the thick soup of his brain .
5Paralyzing pain in his punctured calf seared through the entire leg .
But that was not the scariest part . At the same time, another one of the creatures jumped for his neck .
Danger was approaching . No . Here it was!
Qin Feng raised a hand in an attempt to shield his neck with his arm .

The infant’s razor-sharp fangs dug into the flesh of Qin Feng’s arm . At least his neck was protected .
“Die!” Qin Feng roared, slamming his arm onto the floor .
The infant let out a piercing cry, as bones and asphalt came crashing together in unholy matrimony . The beast on Qin Feng’s arm was squashed .
5Another one of the creatures saw the chance and leaped .
Its attack was surgical—the position it had chosen perfect . Its mouth opened so wide as if about to swallow Qin Feng’s head whole .
1Qin Feng’s pupils dilated .
Just then, a snow-white baseball came to the rescue, knocking down that razor-fangs infant .
1Zhou Hao appeared in front of Qin Feng . Although his body was shaking violently, he did not stop, swinging around and striking the monster latched on his friend’s calf .
1“Let go, beast! Monster! Let go!”
6However, he controlled his exertion of force in fear of hurting Qin Feng .
After a few violent thumps and only after the razor-fanged infant’s head was finally smashed in, did Qin Feng shake off the monster .
The injuries were healing quickly, but, on the surface, Qin Feng was gravely injured .
Zhou Hao trembled uncontrollably, bursting with adrenaline, face flushed, and gulping in large mouthfuls of fresh air .
6Such intense, unstopping action was all too much to bear!
2When he turned around to look at the wounds on Qin Feng’s body, what he saw left him in shock .
“Qin Feng! Are you alright?”
“No problem!” Qin Feng shook his head .
The patrol team was finally here, dutifully dispersing the crowd and slowly retaking the entire street .
“Should we leave?” Zhou Hao did not know what to do in a situation like this .
“No need!” Qin Feng answered . “It’s just this one rift . Now that the patrol team is here, it should be a lot safer!”
Indeed, it was just one rift . But in the previous life, Qin Feng had not been around . The razor-fanged infants had spread out all over the place like a plague and killed swathes of people, Zhou Hao included .
Thank goodness, all of that was over!
The flames on the space stabilizer had been extinguished . All up and running, a silver ray exploded from it .
Then, before Qin Feng and Zhou Hao’s eyes, the rift began to grow smaller until it gradually disappeared .
This was the first time Zhou Hao had such a phenomenon, leaving his jaw hanging open in amazement .
Beep! Beep!
“Street number 12 is cleared . Head-count in progress!”
“Thirteen deaths in total! Still counting causalities!”
“Secured!”
The patrol team passed them by, grimly confirming the death toll . Qin Feng calmly watched all of them, not making a single move .
On the contrary, Zhou Hao’s initial excitement had disappeared, and his face had turned a ghostly white .
And just like that, the flame of life had been extinguished . In such a brief period, thirteen people had lost their lives .
If it had not been for Qin Feng, more people would have died .
A man wearing the patrol team’s medal over his chest walked up to Qin Feng .
The patrol team was the police in the colony . As humans were such destructive beings, whenever a fight broke out, it would, in all likeliness, lead to a one-sided slaughter where the strong killed the weak .
3That was how the patrol team emerged, maintaining law and order to protect the very core of the colony’s safety .
That being said, the colony was, at times, not a particularly safe place either .
“Did you kill these two razor-fanged infants? Not bad, not bad at all! That’s sure looked promising, young man!” The man smiled . He was not very tall, about 1 . 7 meters and a little mellow . But Qin Feng would never look down on him!

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
