Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

"Yeah, he's busy, always busy..."

Kuangliu's deep sigh echoed, and then he slowly fell silent.

"Let's go! It's my birthday today, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Then I'll definitely eat a lot!"

Number 1 said with a smile.

"No problem, I'm rich!"

After a simple meal, Wen Yu returned to the room Wang Zhigang had arranged for him. Lying on the comfortable bed, he soon fell into a light sleep.

I haven't slept on such a soft bed in a long time.

Thinking of his earlier days roughing it in the forest, Wen Yu couldn't help but drift off into slumber.

The sky outside was completely dark. Wen Yu was awakened by a rustling sound.

The slight noise could not escape Wen Yu's hearing, and the familiar sound told him who had entered the room.

Wen Yu had left the room's door unlocked, naturally for these two!

A subtle Spiritual Fluctuation emanated from Wen Yu's mind.

It was very faint; clearly, the two soul pets were afraid of waking Wen Yu.

"Go to sleep, Cyclops."

"No! I'm not sleeping! I'm angry!"

"You've really got too much free time. If it were me, I would've just forced myself on them! You're the one who told me that!"

"WOOF WOOF!"

Hearing Star's words, Cyclops barked twice.

"Why do they call me a pervert?!"

Star stammered in a low voice, "Well, your outfit itself is kind of perverted..."

"I'm so pissed! Boss clearly said this outfit is cute."

Just as the two pets finished speaking, Wen Yu sat up abruptly.

Seeing the two well-behaved soul pets lying on the ground, and then looking at the pink outfit that Cyclops had dirtied, Wen Yu couldn't help but chuckle and beckoned to them.

The two soul pets understood Wen Yu's meaning and immediately jumped onto the large bed.

"Did you two cause any trouble while you were out today?"

Wen Yu was genuinely afraid these two would stir up some kind of trouble.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the hassle, but he feared that if his two soul pets got angry, they would completely destroy his hometown!

Hearing Wen Yu's question, Star and Cyclops immediately shook their heads vigorously, like pellet drums.

"So, what interesting things happened today?"

After Wen Yu spoke, he deliberately glanced at the pink pet clothes Cyclops was wearing.

Hearing Wen Yu's teasing, Cyclops immediately began to complain.

"WOOF WOOF WOOF."

"Boss, you tricked me! These clothes are terrible! All those female dogs called me a pervert!"

"Female dogs?"

Wen Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Where did you find these female dogs?"

"Just over there!"

Star's tail shot up, pointing in a direction.

That was the direction of the old city district; moreover, Wen Yu's home was also in that direction!

"Are there many of them?"

"WOOF WOOF WOOF."

"Quite a few. They're all stray cats and dogs. After mutating, they claimed that area as their territory!"

Wen Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Alright then, tomorrow we'll go over there to see those female dogs, and while we're at it, I'll take you home."

"Home? Isn't this your home?"

Star blinked, asking in confusion.

"No, this isn't our home. This is just a house Wang Zhigang lent us!"

Wen Yu shook his head and said.

"That's where I used to live in this city. I wonder what it's like now."

Wen Yu looked out the window towards the location of his former rental apartment.

That was where Wen Yu had lived for nearly three years.

Three years! That should be considered home, right?

Wen Yu sighed silently in his heart.

「A silent night passed.」

After breakfast the next morning, Wen Yu bid farewell to Wang Zhigang.

Once Wen Yu communicated with the military headquarters, Wang Zhigang would undoubtedly contact the military department again.

Wen Yu didn't know the specifics of their discussion, but it undoubtedly concerned deeper intelligence on him and issues regarding the transfer of power in Mudanjiang Central City.

Judging by Wang Zhigang's evident vitality, one could tell that the previous day's outcome had been a pleasant surprise for him.

"By the way, if there's any news from the military, send someone to find me. My location is XXX."

Seeing Wang Zhigang nod, Wen Yu, with Cyclops and Star, headed straight for the old city district.

He strolled along the streets of Mudanjiang City as if taking a leisurely walk.

The desolate and dilapidated urban area was a far cry from its prosperous peacetime days. Occasionally, some skulking professionists would glance at Wen Yu before hastily concealing themselves.

His brand-new clothes and the small Soul Beast on his shoulder, which signified a hidden profession, were enough to make these people understand that this strolling professionist was not one to be trifled with!

His original purpose for the stroll was to take another look at the city where he had lived for over twenty years, but now it seemed there was nothing much left to see!

In this apocalypse, even without Demon Fiends yet, the professionists and mutant beasts alone were enough to destroy the city's appearance, let alone its spirit!

"Let's go, Cyclops! Lead the way! Speed up!"

Wen Yu said to Cyclops, deciding not to waste any more time on such pointless matters.

"WOOF WOOF."

Cyclops barked twice at Wen Yu and then darted off ahead.

Although Cyclops was in his mini state and his physical strength was significantly reduced, he was definitely no longer the stray dog he had been before his mutation.

His small body contained immense strength.

His four short legs moved so swiftly they became a blur, his grey body like a gust of wind, rushing towards the old city district.

Wen Yu followed closely behind.

In less than ten minutes, the man and his two soul pets had crossed more than half of Mudanjiang City and arrived at the old city district.

Cyclops stopped in front of a semi-abandoned residential area.

Wen Yu frowned at the large pile of dog droppings in front of him and, wrinkling his nose at the overpowering stench in the air, said to Cyclops quite decisively, "If you want to go, go ahead. When you're done playing, follow my scent back."

"WOOF WOOF WOOF."

"Boss, aren't you coming in with me? There are lots and lots of pretty female dogs inside!"

Wen Yu gulped.

"Forget it."

"WOOF WOOF."

"Star, what about you? We're bros! I'll share two with you!"

Hearing Cyclops's invitation, Star immediately shook his head.

They really don't know how to enjoy themselves... Cyclops muttered to himself, then turned and walked into the residential area.

Leaving Wen Yu and Star standing where they were, exchanging wry smiles.

Then Wen Yu turned and walked away.

This place really stinks!

Old city district, Jindu Residential Area.

This was where Wen Yu had once lived.

As an orphan, Wen Yu had lived here alone for three years. Three years was enough time for a person to develop some attachment to a place.

Looking at the dilapidated and deserted scenery around him, devoid of any sign of human life, Wen Yu sighed deeply.

"I'm home."
