Chapter 15 (2/2)

…

The little boy walked up to the little black-haired girl who was crying. “My name is Bando, what’s your name?”

The little black-haired girl wiped the tears on her face and said, “My name is Alice…I’m so hungry….”

Bando took out a piece of hardtack from his pocket. “Here, have this.” He watched Alice wolf down her food and said, “Don’t cry. I’ll give you some of my food every day.”

“Really? Then what about yourself?”

“I’m grown up now, and I eat less. And it’ll get better in the base in the future. I’ll bring everyone out to look for food. No one has to go hungry again.”

“Really?” said Alice. “You’re amazing!”

…

Invisible blades shot through the darkness. Bando had already turned into a lump of indistinct flesh, spraying all over Alice.

A hissing sound came from the shadows.

Zhou Bai watched this scene in shock, quickly enclosing his body with primordial spirit power, then controlling it to reach outwards.

Primordial spirit power passed over the corpses on the ground.

Bando, Alice, Elsa…familiar children lay in a pool of blood.

After passing over all the bodies, Zhou Bai’s primordial spirit power came in contact with a rigid, cold, and slippery thing.

Hiss~ hiss~

In the darkness, it slithered on the ground like a snake monster. The monster shrouded in a faint black smoke slithered out, a pair of yellow snake eyes looking at Zhou Bai. It said with some surprise, “Hiss~ hiss…A kid with a high Primordial Spirit Value? I guess this trip wasn’t fruitless.”

Zhou Bai trembled as he looked at the snake, saying coldly, “What are you?”

“Rescue team. I’m the rescue team…Weren’t you the ones who called us over?” The snake monster sized up Zhou Bai curiously, the black smoke around it continuously rolling. “You’re angry? Or scared? Given that you’re pretty strong, I’ll let you have a few last words.”

“Run!” In Zhou Bai’s mind, Christina’s voice began screaming wildly. “Mara! It’s Mara! I remembered! Run away! You can’t beat it!”

Zhou Bai smiled bitterly. The snake monster had already blocked off the path to the door and vent duct. Even if he wanted to run away, he couldn’t.

“You’re Mara?” Zhou Bai tried to buy some time. “Why did you kill them?”

“Does killing…need a reason?” The snake monster laughed. “Just a bunch of useless pigs. I can kill them as I please. You too, just a pig. Why am I even talking to you?”

Whoosh!

The black mist turned into countless blades, stabbing towards Zhou Bai.

His primordial spirit power reached its peak immediately, forming a shield-like barrier that stood in front of Zhou Bai.

In the cracks of explosions, Zhou Bai’s body flew out with the primordial spirit power, then split up into pieces, dropping on the ground.

Zhou Bai’s eyes were wide open, looking at the world that got dimmer and dimmer. Finally, he lost all signs of life.
