The whole city was shrouded in fog. Even the military bases on the outskirts of the city had been reduced to the lowest level. If the mutated beasts were to invade now, it would be as easy as walking into a deserted land.
Luo Yuan's mind went blank due to the fear in his heart.
Huang Jiahui stood rooted to the ground for a long while before she blurted out, "Could that thing that fell on the ground just now be that bomber from before?"
"I think … I think so," Huang Yuying said in a trembling voice.
"Let's go back to the villa," Luo Yuan said as he came back to his senses.
The three of them quickly went back the way they had come.
Not long after, the roars of the mutated beasts became clearer. Even the ground was shaking as if there was an earthquake.
Luo Yuan's residential area was located in the west of the city, more than 20 kilometers away from the outskirts. However, they could still hear the roars of the mutated beasts, which meant that the beasts had already entered the city.
There were sporadic gunshots from afar, but only God knew if they were effective in such a foggy environment. The four of them walked into the villa and closed the door.
They were relieved. A sturdy house always gave people a sense of security, although everyone knew that such a defense would not be able to withstand an attack from the mutated beasts.
Wang Shishi's face was pale, and her body was shaking like a pendulum. If she had not been leaning against the wall, she would have fallen to the ground.
Luo Yuan was the same. His Will was lower than that of an ordinary person, and he was even worse than Wang Shishi. His face alternated between pain, fear, and anxiety. He looked like he was going to collapse at any moment.
"Go get some water," Huang Jiahui said to Huang Yuying, and started to take off Luo Yuan's clothes.
"Okay, okay!" Huang Yuying answered in a panic and ran to the kitchen.
As expected of a Blue grade equipment synthesized from the feathers of a Black Owl, the surface was smooth and waterproof. Liquid could not adhere to the clothes at all. Although it was repeatedly splashed with mud, there was not a single speck of dirt on the surface. It was as clean as new, but the exposed skin was different.
Huang Jiahui picked up a towel from the basin and started to wipe Luo Yuan's corroded skin. She took a deep breath when she saw the water.
Tragic, it was truly tragic.
His entire face was unrecognizable. There were numerous bloody holes everywhere, and the bloody holes were filled with a pool of almost rotten, turbid pus. After the pus was sucked dry by the towel, bright red flesh was revealed, and the deepest part even reached the bones. As he wiped the blood off, the entire basin was soon dyed red.
Luo Yuan's face contorted as he howled in pain.
Huang Jiahui couldn't hold back her tears. She raised the towel in the air several times, but she couldn't bear to wipe her tears. Wang Shishi also forgot her fear and started to cry.
The water was changed again and again, and the sounds of explosions and roars of beasts could be faintly heard from outside. Despair shrouded everyone's hearts, and their faces became paler and paler.
"What should we do? The mutant beasts are coming. We're going to die. I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Wang Shishi said with a trembling voice.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay. We won't die. We survived when Donghu City was so dangerous, and we won't die this time either. As long as there's hope, we'll be fine!" Huang Jiahui hugged Wang Shishi and said loudly, her eyes red.
"Yeah, we won't die. There are so many people in Hedong City, so there will always be survivors. We won't be so unlucky. The villa is so sturdy, we'll be fine," Huang Yueying murmured. She wasn't trying to comfort Wang Shishi, but rather herself.
Luo Yuan stood up from the ground and said loudly, "Let's go to the basement. It's cramped there, but it's sturdy. There's also a lot of supplies. As long as the air can still circulate, even if the villa collapses, we can still live for a few months. "
If Luo Yuan's willpower hadn't been intact, he would never have made such a pessimistic decision. He would rather control his own fate than rely on luck. But now, the fear in his heart was like a stampede of horses, and he couldn't control it. He wanted to go wherever the safest place was.
He picked up his Zhanmadao and ran towards the basement. The rest of them quickly followed him.
As soon as the partition was down, it was pitch black inside. Huang Jiahui found a flashlight and quickly turned it on. The snow-white light was so bright that it calmed everyone down. Wang Shishi hugged Luo Yuan's arm tightly as soon as they reached the basement. She did not want to let go of him anymore.
They huddled together in a corner and sat down.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! "
The roars of the beasts were getting louder and louder. The muddy water on the walls was falling, and the sound of bricks collapsing could be heard from outside. Occasionally, there was the sound of someone dying. The trembling was contagious. No one knew who started it, but soon everyone was trembling together.
At first, they were still chatting and cheering each other on, but now no one was in the mood to talk, afraid that the mutated beasts outside would hear them.
In the end, even the flashlights were switched off.
The basement was filled with a depressing silence. Only the sound of everyone's heavy breathing could be heard.
Luo Yuan closed his eyes and meditated as usual. He knew that it was not normal to be in such a state, so he stopped thinking about it and tried to find the peace in his heart.
His efforts over the past few months had not been in vain. Meditating had become an instinct for him. Although it was more difficult than any of his previous attempts, he still managed to meditate in the end. The messy thoughts in his heart gradually weakened and eventually disappeared. His heart was at peace.
His Will seemed to be absorbing nutrients from the peace, and his Will began to recover slowly.
"Bang!"
After an unknown amount of time, the basement shook violently.
The women covered their mouths with their hands, afraid to make any noise. Their eyes were filled with fear in the dark.
Luo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and thought to himself, "Oh no, the villa has collapsed. There's a mutated beast inside."
Heavy footsteps could be heard as it walked into the villa step by step, accompanied by the sound of all kinds of things being smashed. Even the walls of the cubicles had collapsed. It was a huge beast. According to Luo Yuan's senses, the mutated beast was more than three meters tall, seven to eight meters long, and probably weighed more than ten to twenty tons.
With every step it took, the layer of cement above its head would shake off a large amount of dust and shake violently. However, the quality of the villa was excellent. If it had been an ordinary building, it would have been full of cracks and would have collapsed, but there was not a single crack in the basement.
It sniffed the air from time to time, searching for the tracks of its prey.
The women did not dare to move, let alone make a sound. They could only tremble in fear. The unique pressure of a blue rank creature had almost broken the women's hearts.
Not long after, the sound of running water could be heard from the basement, and the smell of urine filled the air.
Luo Yuan held his Zhanmadao tightly in his hand, his nerves tensed.
The system notification sounded again, but he gave up without looking at it.
His Will and Stamina had not fully recovered, and his body was still injured. He had no chance of winning against a blue rank creature that he did not know anything about. The human body was too fragile, and it could not be compared to a mutated beast. Every time he fought a blue rank creature, it was like dancing on the edge of a knife, accompanied by the Grim Reaper. There was no room for mistakes, or one mistake could lead to death.
Even if he killed it, the consequences would be unimaginable if the mutated beast outside was alarmed. Staying there was the safest option. He hoped that the mutated beast had not smelled them and left as soon as possible.
