Chapter 157: Trust (2/2)

The vibration of the shuttle turned the blood and flesh both into mist. It took as long as a breath for the whole arm to disappear.

Zhao Yali screamed out in shock again. Blood was stained all over her head and face, making her look pitiful.

Wang Shishi sneered silently. She had done it on purpose.

At this critical moment, an accident suddenly occurred. The beasts seemed to receive a certain signal. The puppets that had originally been standing still suddenly started moving.

Both sides of mutated beasts gushed towards them like turbulent waves.

Luo Yuan’s face changed. In the blink of an eye, he had cut several mutated beasts into two. He turned back and shouted, “Shishi, beware of getting surrounded. Everyone else quickly follow me!”

Before he had finished his speech, he was already rushing towards the frontline of the beasts with his sword. A ray flashed, and blood spurted towards the sky. Considering his abilities, this kind of weak mutated beasts were no danger to him. In his eyes, this wasn’t all that different from chopping piles of wood. This time though, the beast attack was too much. They were almost like a crowd. He was able to cut three or four mutated beasts. As he moved five steps forward, about fifty mutated beasts died from his hand.

When quantity surpassed quality, even ants could kill an elephant by biting it. If the battle site had been more spacious and someone had been commanding the mutated beasts, they could have surrounded them. In that case, unless Luo Yuan could fly, he would have most certainly died.

Humans are not machines that are made to move forever. Their energy could get depleted, their endurance could be drained and their Will be broken. Regardless of how strong one was, facing a legion of enemies that moved like the ocean tide was a waste of their strength.

On the other hand, Wang Shishi had also started to attack. Her green level flying shuttle moved rapidly back and forth like a loom in the sky, forming a sonic boom. Sometimes, before the flying shuttle could even get close to them, the heads on the other side would explode like bombs under the pressure of the sonic boom.

The beasts had completely stopped fighting the attack. The area in a circumference of five meters had become a vacuum of beasts.

Since the terrifying experience at the sea river that had revealed her telekinesis, Wang Shishi’s ability had gotten stronger. Although she had not officially reached a level where she could fly, she was still better by leaps and bounds compared to the past. Plus, if one were to compare combat skills, her overpowering, combo telekinesis attack was way stronger than Luo Yuan’s.

Of course, the only weakness of telekinesis was its low consistency. It could only be used for a few minutes at the most.

For now though, that would be sufficient enough.

The street was barely over twenty meters, so Luo Yuan only had to walk for about three minutes. His whole body was soaked in blood. Even his waterproof, oily shirt was covered in sticky, fresh blood.

He had once again broken in through the front of the building. Everyone went in with him. They had not even gotten to rest for a few seconds when the wall was broken down by the beasts. It collapsed right away, but luckily, Luo Yuan’s eyes and actions were fast. He tossed the few people standing near the wall far away. However, Chen Xianfeng had dodged too late and gotten crushed.

Chen Xianfeng had already gone crazy after being stimulated by fresh blood, and now he had gotten pounded by a collapsing wall as well. He could not hold back anymore. Using both hands, he caught a middle-aged man who had come in first, and forcefully tore him into two. Then he simply grabbed another one and used them like a wooden stick, smashing at the beasts nonstop.

Chen Xianfeng still seemed unsatisfied. He howled angrily while he crumbled skulls with his bare hands. His big palms grabbed another human and kept swinging without getting tired.

Everyone had seen a lot of blood, but they were still not prepared for Chen Xianfeng’s beast-like attack.

Luo Yuan saw the beasts and thought they could not come within such a short period of time. He bit on his lip and said, “We will proceed.”

Luo Yuan was full of regret. He was regretting leaving the cannons behind to make their load lighter. If they had the two cannons now, plus an adequate numbers of bullets, no matter how many beasts there were, they could still have blocked them easily. There was no use being regretful now, though.

“It looks like there used to be a basement here,” Wang Xiaguang said suddenly. “There is a minus floor number on the lift.”

Luo Yuan immediately felt energized as he walked over in a hurry. The entrance of the lift was twisted and full of rusty spots. Obviously, it could not be used anymore.

“The safety exit is here.” Huo Dong had found the staircase.

The middle of the staircase was already broken, but they were on the ground floor, so they only needed to jump down one or two meters. Even Zhao Yali did not hesitate in jumping. The basement was full of water and covered in yellow and green fungi of all sizes. They were not just on the ground, the fungi grew on the walls, too. Inside the basement, there was a weird, stinky fish smell.

Luo Yuan secretly identified the fungi and realized there were a lot of poisonous ones among them. There were even some toxic ones. He had no idea whether the air was poisoned or not, though. He could only leave that up to fate. However, he noticed the presence of bugs and tiny creatures. Although most of them were poisonous, at least they made him feel more optimistic.

This had to be the hotel shop. Luo Yuan kicked a decaying door, and discovered that the racks inside were full of hotel goods.

He swept the goods on the racks aside, and dragged the racks out and put them under the staircase. Of course, this would not block the beasts’ attack, but it would effectively slowed them down if they tried to burst in. It was better than nothing.

Everyone helped hurriedly, moving all the racks to pile them up against the staircase fast.

Suddenly, Chen Xianfeng gasped and jumped down. His body was already full of scars, and the flesh on his chest was almost torn out. He looked close to dying as he panted for breath, his eyes all red.

“You guys do not trust me… You all… want me to die,” he growled angrily. He scanned everyone with his brutal gaze. After quite a while, he found a dark corner and sat down.

Everyone had gotten completely quiet.
