Chapter 792: Xiao Zhang’s Demise, Jiang Ran’s Headless Corpse
He hurriedly tried to get up, but Jiang Ran wasn't about to give him that chance.
With a few fierce kicks, he sent the chainsaw, still tightly gripped in the man's hand, flying away.
Once the dangerous weapon was gone.
Jiang Ran began pummeling Manager Xiao Zhang with a flurry of punches and kicks.
No wasted words throughout, clean and efficient.
Manager Xiao Zhang did try to get up and fight back, but in front of Jiang Ran, this twisted killer was like a soft little white rabbit, completely under his control.
Still, he didn't utter a single sound.
Finally seizing an opportunity, he lunged and wrapped his arms around Jiang Ran's right calf, trying to bring him down.
But Jiang Ran wasn't that easy to topple; he just kept slamming his fists into Xiao Zhang's face.
He battered him so hard that his mask shattered into fragments, falling to the ground.
Revealing the face beneath—three-quarters severely burned, yet cosmetically repaired.
Only then did Jiang Ran stop, his right fist, coated in blood, suspended in midair.
He stared at that face, letting out a cold laugh. "You barely escaped with your life last time, and you didn't cherish it. Now you still want revenge? Aren't you just asking for death?!"
Manager Xiao Zhang's face was covered in bruises and blood from Jiang Ran's beating.
He opened his mouth, revealing a set of blood-stained teeth.
Lifting his head, he gave Jiang Ran a twisted grin, then actually bit down hard on Jiang Ran's calf.
The pain from the bite made Jiang Ran's left eye twitch.
Immediately after, he rained down even more brutal blows on Manager Xiao Zhang.
But Manager Xiao Zhang simply wouldn't let go.
Out of options, Jiang Ran dragged him, still clamped on, over to where the large black-red chainsaw had fallen, picked it up, and pulled the starter again.
The chainsaw began to roar, whirring to life.
Jiang Ran took one last look at Manager Xiao Zhang, who was still clinging on like a dog refusing to let go of its bite, and gave a cold smirk:
"This time, it's really goodbye, friend."
With that, the chainsaw's blade swung down onto Manager Xiao Zhang's neck, still attached at Jiang Ran's calf.
Striking from a higher angle.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew from the spot where Manager Xiao Zhang's neck met Jiang Ran's leg.
A metal wolf was savagely tearing into his throat.
Finally, Manager Xiao Zhang experienced firsthand the extreme agony of those he had personally sawed to death with his chainsaw.
But even so, he still didn't let go, as if he had no pain receptors.
Finally, with a bang.
The last shred of flesh connecting Manager Xiao Zhang's head to his body was severed.
His body collapsed onto the concrete floor.
But his head remained attached to Jiang Ran's calf.
Jiang Ran was speechless.
He dropped the chainsaw and had to use both hands to forcefully pry apart Manager Xiao Zhang's upper and lower jaws.
Once he did, Jiang Ran felt an immediate sense of relief.
He casually tossed aside Manager Xiao Zhang's head, its eyes still wide open.
The empty head lay there, a river of blood pooling beneath it, a chaotic mess.
From the still-open, bloodshot eyes, two streams of bloody tears slowly trickled down.
The last scene flashing through Manager Xiao Zhang's mind before death.
Was the first time he had killed someone, standing bathed in moonlight, arms raised high...
He clearly remembered the ecstasy of that first kill, the supreme elevation of both soul and body.
He had become addicted to that feeling.
After that, it was as if he had found life's true purpose, beginning his tireless pursuit...
After dealing with Manager Xiao Zhang.
Jiang Ran twisted his neck, preparing to go after the remaining four.
But that's when he realized the other four had long since left their original spots; it looked like they had run.
His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly spotted them at another door of the factory, bolting for the outside.
Special Live Stream, Live Stream Room.
From the moment Jiang Ran climbed out of the pit in that bizarre way.
All the way to him killing Manager Xiao Zhang.
The public chat section had been in a state of constant chaos.
A jumble of messages.
As a result, many Hua Country people weren't posting in the public chat.
Instead, they were chatting in the Hua Country chat section.
They were surprised by the way Jiang Ran had climbed out of the pit, but they were also used to it by now.
The main topic of discussion was the death of Manager Xiao Zhang.
Domineering Female CEO: [Xiao Zhang is dead after all...]
Ultimate Rich Kid: [He actually didn't have to die. He kept wanting revenge on Jiang Ran, and all he got was a load of nothing.]
Middle-aged Uncle: [Let's burn some paper for Xiao Zhang. Hope he's not a freak in his next life...]
Reality.
Jiang Ran chased them all the way to the factory gate.
Before he even got out, he heard the roar of engines.
A bad feeling crept into his heart.
When he emerged, that bad feeling became reality.
Parked right outside this factory gate were five motorcycles.
And when the four people saw Jiang Ran chasing after them, they panicked, jumped on their respective bikes, and without a second thought, sped off into the distance.
Four people on four motorcycles.
One last motorcycle was left behind.
Jiang Ran casually climbed onto it.
There was a key already inserted in the ignition.
It probably belonged to the deceased Manager Xiao Zhang.
Jiang Ran started the motorcycle and gave chase, gunning it after the four in front.
Because the four of them had a slight head start.
So, even with the throttle maxed out, Jiang Ran couldn't catch up, only managing to tail them closely.
Soon, the five motorcycles reached the main central road of the abandoned steel mill.
Whether it was for environmental reasons or something else.
The central concrete road was lined on both sides with neatly planted trees, all pine trees.
The four people in front sped past the last two pine trees on this central road.
Jiang Ran was also racing after them on his motorcycle.
Just as he was about to pass through this central stretch, he suddenly slammed on the brakes.
But he had already reached full speed and couldn't stop.
He shot through the central stretch at high speed.
Strangely, the only thing that passed through that central stretch was a headless corpse on a motorcycle...
As for Jiang Ran's head, it lay alone on the concrete ground behind him...
Because of the sudden braking, combined with the body having no head, the headless corpse, along with the now-uncontrolled motorcycle, crashed hard onto the ground.
The headless body tumbled to one side.
The motorcycle fell on the other side—well, it crashed on the other side, at least.
Its wheels were still spinning wildly.
Special Live Stream, Live Stream Room.
Starting from the moment Jiang Ran suddenly braked.
The live stream screen went black, pitch black.
No one knew what had happened.
In short, the public chat section was filled with messages asking what had occurred and what was going on.
This black screen lasted for several minutes until, finally, a normal, colored image appeared.
But this colored image wasn't the dim, overcast abandoned steel mill.
It was a broadcast studio.
Inside the studio.
The long-haired beautiful host from Hua Country and the American beauty hostess both appeared, bowing in apology:
"We're very sorry, everyone, there was a problem with the broadcast."
"We're not sure what happened. All the cameras we installed at that abandoned steel mill and its surroundings have malfunctioned. The broadcast was forced to interrupt. Our technical team is currently working on emergency repairs to restore the connection, so we need some time!!!"
