Chapter 76: Beast Attack

Translator:Editor:

The whole city was covered by the thick smoke, and so was the military base. The military defense power had dropped to its lowest point. If a big group of beasts were to attack the city, there wouldn’t be enough manpower to defend it. Luo Yuan's brain was blank from fear.

“Is that a bomb that exploded over there?” Huang Jiahui asked after a few minutes of stunned silence.

“I think so,” Huang Yuying said. She looked lost too.

“Let’s go! Don’t look anymore. Let’s go back!” Luo Yuan said, jumping back into action.

The four of them felt cold as they quickly headed back to the villa, following the route they had taken there. They could hear the roars of beasts at the same time that the ground was shaking like there was an earthquake going on. Their house was in the West District, about 25 kilometers away from the outskirts of the city. They could still hear the roars clearly despite the distance. Apparently, the mutated beasts had entered the city. They could also hear the sound of shooting and minor bombing activities, but no one could tell whether it was working in the haze of it all. The four of them quickly entered the villa and shut the door.

They felt relieved. The house provided them protection and security, even though they knew it was not the safest way to defend against a mutated beast attack. Wang Shishi looked very pale. She kept shaking, and she would surely have fallen down on the floor, had she not been leaning against the wall. Luo Yuan did not look any better. His determination was lower than average and his condition was worse than Wang Shishi’s. He looked in pain, and occasionally anxious and afraid. He was about to have an emotional breakdown.

“Hurry up! Please get some water!” Huang Jiahui told Huang Yuying as she began to take his shirt off.

“Sure!” Huang Yuying replied nervously before she rushed to the kitchen.

Luo Yuan’s shirt was made of blue rank black owl feathers and the material was shiny and waterproof. Liquid had never penetrated it, even though Luo Yuan had spilled mud on it several times. There was not a single piece of dirt on it. His skin, however, was another story. Huang Yuying brought water from the kitchen. Huang Jiahui took the cloth from the pail and helped Luo Yuan wipe away the blood and dirt carefully. She inhaled a mouthful of cool air to calm herself down. He looked terrible.

His entire face was terribly injured. There were holes and blood all over it. Corrosive mud covered almost all of the holes. Huang Jiahui was able to see his flesh after wiping off all the pus. She could even see his bones through some of the holes. Luo Yuan was still bleeding. She helped him clean up, the water inside the pail slowly turning red in the process. Luo Yuan howled in pain. Huang Jiahui could not hold her tears back anymore. She stopped wiping for a few minutes. When she lifted the cloth, Wang Shishi also forgot about her fear and started sobbing in the corner. They had changed the water several times. Suddenly, they heard the sound of an explosion along with the furious roars of beasts. All of them looked hopeless as their faces turned pale.
