Chapter 754: Wasteland World (Part 3)
But at that moment.
Suddenly.
Three figures, each holding a box, hurriedly rushed out of the abandoned hospital as if escaping.
"Captain." One of them shouted.
Du Peng, their captain, was both surprised and delighted to see their bounty.
His previous assumptions were correct; the city's resources were abundant and largely untouched.
But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
In the corridor behind them, on the walls, monsters resembling spiders were crawling toward them in a dense swarm, and one slower teammate was directly knocked to the ground by a creature.
Cries of agony echoed, blood gushing.
The body was immediately torn apart by a swarm of creatures.
"Get in the truck, quickly."
Du Peng shouted, then pulled out a shotgun from his back, sparing no bullets as he fired to cover the escape of the remaining two teammates.
But even firearms had limited effect on the creatures; the bullets only embedded into their flesh, unable to cause fatal damage.
And due to the repeated gunfire, it seemed to have angered other creatures within the nearby buildings.
The creatures ignored the sunlight outside, swarming out of the buildings along the damaged walls, converging swiftly like a mass of ants.
"Captain, there's no time, we have to go."
The driver, Huang Qiu, couldn't help shouting, her voice trembling with fear, as she quickly started the truck, ready to take everyone and rush out.
"Damn it."
As the captain, Du Peng also realized what was happening. Seeing the scene around him, his pupils tightened, and even the gun in his hand involuntarily paused.
So many monsters in the city?
Even with his rich survival experience, he couldn't help but shiver all over at this moment.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Du Peng successfully covered the remaining two teammates as they boarded the truck.
As the truck's rear door closed, the oncoming creatures heavily battered against the sturdy steel panels of the truck.
The truck shook, and everyone inside was both shocked and frightened.
"Huang Qiu, go, rush out." Du Peng shouted.
Huang Qiu was sweating profusely at this moment; she slammed the pedal, the engine roared, and the heavy truck howled as it charged forward.
Can we escape the city?
This thought emerged in everyone's mind.
But soon.
Reality told them it was a hopeless dream.
The advancing creatures had already blocked all paths. Although the truck plowed forward, the nearby monsters kept leaping onto it, causing a series of violent shakes.
The modified old truck finally let out a feeble wail, tipping heavily onto its side, and like a fallen prey, it was continuously devoured by countless creatures.
The hard steel panels were dismantled, the thickened truck cabin was forcefully scratched open by the creatures' claws, and Huang Qiu, sitting in the driver's seat, screamed in terror as a creature broke through the windshield's protection, thrusting in a grotesque head.
The head resembled a human's, but had no hair, only a layer of gray-black skin, with eyes revealing savage and bloodthirsty gleams.
"It's over."
All the people in the truck had only this thought in their minds at that moment, knowing that death was certain today, having prepared to embrace its arrival.
But at that moment.
All the creatures suddenly halted their actions simultaneously, freezing in place, motionless.
Huh?
Faced with the abnormal behavior of the creatures, everyone was stunned.
Then suddenly,
A formidable force suddenly enveloped the area, and then they saw the creatures frozen in place abruptly explode, their bodies bursting open, spraying blood all around.
Subsequently, the surroundings fell into an unusual silence.
Like the calm after a violent storm.
The few people inside the truck were bewildered until Huang Qiu, the driver, looked outside through the shattered windshield: the scene before her eyes overturned her understanding, making her witness the most incredible scene of her life.
The open ground ahead was covered with the corpses of creatures, their bizarre blood flowing everywhere, densely packed in sight; it was unknown how many creatures met their demise here just an instant ago.
"What... what happened?" Huang Qiu mustered her courage, climbing out through the shattered window, trembling all over as she gazed around.
This wasn't a dream.
The creatures were really dead.
But how was this done? It didn't seem like they were killed by any weapon, as she herself was still alive and unharmed.
"Turns out those Spider Monsters from the dangerous zone originated from World No.17." Suddenly, a voice abruptly sounded.
Startled by the voice, Huang Qiu looked around frantically but found no one, until she glanced up, freezing in place—she saw a man clad in ancient battle armor, draped in lightning, of divine and extraordinary demeanor, standing on a cloud and looking down here.
Clearly.
The death of those creatures was the doing of this man.
But is this person really human?
How could a normal human fly in the sky, and dressed in such attire, he didn't seem like someone from this world, but rather like a Divine Being descended to earth.
