Chapter 788 - An Overnight Transformation (1/2)

The ultra plants and beasts were currently running amok outside the building. Though Guan Shan was also an ancient warrior, he too had lost all of his internal power. He was now just slightly stronger than a civilian who knew some martial arts. As for his power, he had probably been downgraded to the C or D-tier.

“It’s just me,” Qin Feng replied.

The triumphant expression on Guan Shan’s face vanished immediately.

Guan Shan refused to believe what he had just heard. He could not care less about the dirt on Qin Feng now and grabbed the side of his battle suit. He asked nervously, “How could you be alone? They shouldn’t just send in a single person for such a huge calamity. There are victims everywhere around the city!”

Qin Feng did not shake off Guan Shan. He knew that the guy must be extremely tense at the moment. Qin Feng tried to comfort him and said, “No doubt, the entire city has fallen. But you should also understand that there’s not much the aptitude users outside can do when there’s a shackle cast on consciousness and internal force within this dimension. Coming in here recklessly is no different from suicide.”

“So they would just give up on us like this?” Guan Shan wished to tear apart whoever had made such a decision.

“I have yet to receive an update. Hopefully, they will send in more help as we speak.”

Guan Shan wanted to curse loudly. But he eventually loosened his grip. To calm himself down, he took several deep breaths.

“General Qin, forgive my impulsiveness. I am not blaming you.”

After all, it was not easy for Qin Feng to reach this deep into the city alone. That spoke about Qin Feng’s capability.

“A flock of wolves cornered us into this building. Did you bump into them on your way here?”

Qin Feng nodded. He had indeed exterminated a group of wolves on his way here.

Guan Shan was relieved.

The wolves were at about C1-tier difficulty. However, Guan Shan could not deal with them in his current state. He lost a couple of his men and managed to shake them off by retreating inside the building. Better still, they now had a powerful ally in Qin Feng, who did not seem to be bothered by the ferocious wolves.

Though there was only one person, Qin Feng’s presence still gave Guan Shan greater confidence. He did not dare to ask whether Qin Feng had what it took to rescue them all.

Since Qin Feng was a B-tier aptitude user and had helped them chase away the wolves, the group naturally respected Qin Feng. They surrounded him as he walked in, passing him water and towels. A few beautiful ladies approached him and wanted to help him wipe off the bloodstains.

“There’s no need for that. Rest as much as you can. We are going to break out of this place tomorrow,” Qin Feng announced coldly, “Find yourself a weapon if you want to live. Don’t be a hindrance, and don’t cry when we are escaping tomorrow. I will end your life myself if that happens.”

Qin Feng glanced at the crowd solemnly. Rather than putting your life in other people’s hands, it was better to equip yourself in this dire situation. That would increase the chance of survival as a whole.

A pretty lady was obviously not daunted by Qin Feng’s words. She said bashfully, “General Qin, please take good care of me tomorrow. I am born weak. I don’t think I can make it out without your care.”

She thought that men would always be protective and tender toward a delicate beauty like her.

Qin Feng was too lazy to entertain her. He stood up and said mindlessly, “Then perhaps you shouldn’t be born at all. If you hope to rely on others, then it’s better to die sooner than later.” He pulled a carton of water along with him to another corner after he had finished talking. The girl was left standing in embarrassment, baffled with tears swelling up in her rounded eyes.

Guan Shan was feeling vexed. He had his subordinate take the shameless lady aside.

Qin Feng showed no interest in interacting with others. He pulled two racks in front of him to block others’ vision.

His battle suit was completely spoiled. He took it off and threw it aside. The pungent scent of blood was all over it.

Qin Feng used the water to briefly clean himself. After putting on another set of battlesuit in his backpack, Qin Feng lay down to get some rest.

He could not activate his internal force, which meant that his most convenient recovery skill—Absorption—had also been sealed. The only way he could replenish his strength was through sleep.

The rest of the night passed on peacefully.
