Chapter 169 - Survivors (1/2)

Upon entering Han Town itself, Qin Feng got his umbra stallion to start galloping, throwing off low-tier insectoids that tried to ambush them effortlessly.

Instead of focusing on small fries like these fellas, Qin Feng’s time was worth much more trying to hunt down their higher-tier overlords.

However, his seek and destroy mission had barely even started before his communicator started beeping.

[Survivor signal detected!]

A tiny red dot appeared on the map of Han Town which popped up on the communicator’s screen.

With barely enough food, the resilient human beings would always find a way to survive underground for half a months’ time, all while defending themselves against these bloodthirsty creatures.

After all, they were raised amidst an apocalypse!

For those born after doomsday, mandatory education would start at the age of six and end at sixteen—ten years’ time worth of lessons on how to survive even the toughest conditions life could possibly throw at them.

Because of the agricultural fields at the Northern entrance of Han Town, many apt.i.tude users refused to even venture near this part, let alone save the poor souls trapped within this district.

Qin Feng was no cold-blooded man. Gifted with such powers, he felt a moral obligation to save as many lives as he could.

He directed the umbra stallion in the direction of the survivor’s signal.

“Buzz Buzz Buzz”

A cl.u.s.ter of low-tier insectoids were hot on Qin Feng’s tail.

As if that was not enough, a handful of bloodthirsty beetles appeared in the corner of his eyes but it was already too late—they too, hurled themselves relentlessly toward Qin Feng’s horse.

He was caught in a pincer attack!

“h.e.l.lfire Carpet!”

With restraints on the extent of his attack, Qin Feng retaliated against his foolish attackers. In just a matter of minutes, these G-tier ultra beasts were completely wiped out through his fiery attacks.

Amidst the fiery h.e.l.lscape, Qin Feng unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber and began decapitating the bloodthirsty beetles with single clean slices.

To regular humans, Qin Feng’s current position was the worst case scenario to be caught in but to him, it was merely like a walk in the park.

Soon, Qin Feng arrived at the location where the signal was coming from, a store located right beside the road.

Smack right in front of its entrance however, was a ma.s.sive steel-back snail.

It was just your run-of-the-mill F-tier steel-back snail but its strength, as many had learned, should never be underestimated!

A bad feeling arose in Qin Feng’s heart.

He climbed off the umbra stallion, during which the steel-back snail had coincidentally started waking up from its lazy slumber. Stretching out its squishy head, it tried to grab a bite out of Qin Feng.

Without hesitation, he started hacking away at the darned snail.

“Sky Burning Sword Style!”

A two meter long blade sliced off the head of this steel-back snail even before it had the time to fight back.

With a single kick, the headless carca.s.s of this steel-back snail was shoved aside, allowing Qin Feng to enter the shop.

[Remaining distance to the survivor: 35 meters!]

The shop itself was not too big, hence it did not take long for Qin Feng to discover a trapdoor that led downward into a bas.e.m.e.nt. However, the door was bolted shut from the inside.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Qin Feng knocked on the door but the only response he received was dead silence.

Fortunately, the structural integrity of this door was not military-grade. While it could withstand repeated attacks by the ultra beasts, it was easily torn down by Qin Feng’s saber.

Focusing all his internal strength on the blade’s body, Qin Feng sliced open the door in just a fraction of a second.

As soon as the door was broken down, the metallic smell of blood rushed into Qin Feng’s nasal cavity from the room below. Through the dim lighting of the room, Qin Feng could make out the skeleton-like body of a woman, whose eyes were half open, and nestled in her arms was a dying infant, who appeared to be at most two months old.

Upon meeting Qin Feng’s eyes, the lady’s eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky.

A single word floated into Qin Feng’s mind.

Hope!
