The people who followed behind could not react in time.
Some fell to the ground, immediately having their skulls crushed or their chest bones shattered by a stomp.
Others, in their panic, opened fire only to hit their own companions.
The scene instantly fell into chaos.
Fang Cheng took advantage of the terrain and simply went on a killing spree in the narrow staircase.
First, a rapid-fire series of pistol shots took out the gunmen from a distance.
Then, he used close combat techniques to subdue several enemies in succession.
Bone-breaking grappling, stabbing and slicing with a dagger, every move targeted vital points such as the throat and heart.
He became like a demon in the dark, quickly claiming the lives of more than a dozen people.
The last of the patrolmen, hearing the continuous screams ahead, flashed their torches erratically, unable to make out the scene clearly.
