“By now, many cities' situations are probably starting to spin out of control, not to mention, this place is very likely a stronghold of the Heretical Cult followers.”

He glanced at the black claw marks in the distance, then looked toward Luo Rui, “It's for you to decide what to do now.”

In his ears, the eerie howls of the Mysterious Evil could still be faintly heard.

Luo Rui clenched his fists, wanting to charge straight in and slay the Mysterious Evil, which was not difficult, as any person present could do it.

However, this was the lair of the Heretical Cult, and revealing the identity of an Awakener would not only put them in great danger but could also lead to mission failure.

Merely killing a single Mysterious Evil wouldn't solve the problem.

There were too many Mysterious Evils here!

He swung his fist down hard, “I… We are leaving!”

…

Before coming here, he had some understanding of the situation in the Wavemist Nation, and now seeing it with his own eyes, he felt it even more.

Some major cities still maintained order, mainly due to the efforts of the Wavemist Nation's domestic secret department – the Ultra Combat Unit, formally known as the Ultra Combat Department.

But the Ultra Combat Unit didn't have many awakeners at its disposal, core members, those recruited from the public, and contracted mercenaries together didn't even make up half.

Many awakeners were in the hands of large consortia.

Protecting their own interests.

“These short-sighted fools, do they think they can survive once the world is completely devoured and eradicated!”

Luo Rui was indignant.

Wind Chant, the big brother, also had a heavy expression, “But these issues are too far removed for us to consider. They are for instructors and mentors to think about. What we need to do now is to complete the mission to the best of our ability.”

Based on some information they had collected on the internet beforehand, they found a local Chinese person and used their… No, money wasn't very useful at this time; supermarkets might not have the items they needed.

Inside the apartment,

Luo Rui took out ready-to-eat food and a large bundle of Wavemist Nation currency from his combat backpack.

“We are just asking for some information, and afterward, all this will be yours. You're a newspaper reporter, right? Have you noticed anything unusual in Snow Màn City recently?”

The young man across from him looked haggard, his hair a mess like a bird's nest. He tore open a bag of bread and wolfed it down, making a muffled “mm-hmm, too many unusual things” sound.

After a while, the young man drank some water and seemed to come back to life. Then, mysteriously, he said,

“Do you believe in the existence of monsters?”

He didn't notice the odd look on the faces of Luo Rui and the others as he continued, “About a month ago, when I was still a newspaper reporter, I witnessed the appearance of a terrifying monster with my own eyes. Even if it was just a silhouette, I believed it wasn't a hallucination, it was real!”

“Because I saw with my own eyes, several people were missing parts of their bodies; they had been eaten by the monster!”

“I wanted to publish the story in the newspaper, but no one believed me. That stupid editor-in-chief even fired me… It's fine to be fired; it's just a rubbish newspaper that I don't care to stay at.”

“You believe it, right? It's not a made-up story.”

Of course, we believe it.

Not only do we believe, we've seen more than you've heard.

Luo Rui said, “It's precisely because we believe that we came to you.”

The haggard young man smiled excitedly, “I knew it! Monsters really do exist! Like the things happening lately, people randomly going mad, jumping off buildings, getting dismembered… But I know it's not any kind of mental contagion, it's the unseen monsters that are committing these acts!”

“What about people? Are there any with abnormal behavior?”

Luo Rui asked.

The haggard young man thought for a moment and said, “Our place seems livelier at night than during the day, but I've been too scared to go out recently, so I don't know much… Oh right, I don't know if the Holy Moon Cult counts.”

“It's a new sect. Maybe because of the tense and strange current situation, people need something to believe in to ease the pressure, so followers of this cult like to gather at night, which is weird.”

He didn't think it was abnormal, just suicidal.

But people in Wavemist Nation, well, they love to take risks, so it didn't strike them as odd. It was Luo Rui and his companions, however, who perked up at this.

They asked for more details.

The outline of a Heretical Cult church was slowly taking shape in their minds.

Suddenly,

Thud!

The wall trembled as if a massive creature had slammed into it.

Wind Chant's ears twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly turned grave.

“Get out of the way!”

He roared.

Luo Rui, with quick eyes and hands, yanked the haggard youth over, and the next moment the wall nearby burst open as if it were a broken wooden plank.

A figure smashed into the wall like a rag doll, neck oozing streams of blood, evidently not going to make it.

Then, a disheveled figure burst through the gap.

With a pale face, wearing fangs and sharp teeth, and before Luo Rui could take a closer look, he heard shouting from the next room, along with the rat-tat-tat of gunfire.

Bullets struck the slender figure, forcing her to keep retreating.

The haggard youth's eyes widened, “It's Mrs. Chris from next door, but how…?”

He covered his mouth.

Mrs. Chris, dressed in a home gown, staggered with blossoms of blood opening across her body.

Four armed men emerged from the hole, their pistol muzzles steadily aimed at the shadow not far away.

“Damn, he actually killed Abel!”

“Never expected that one to be an Awakener.”

“Hmph! What does it matter if she's an Awakener, can she withstand firearms? It wouldn't have happened to Abel if she hadn't gone berserk out of nowhere!”

“Damn bastard!”

Named Chris, the woman was bathed in blood and teetered on the brink.

Suddenly, her pupils dilated, and the wounds from a dozen bullets stopped bleeding in an instant. She lunged with great vigor toward the nearest shadow.

Claws pierced the heart.

Even after sustaining several shots, she still had energy left.

Only when the lead gunman dropped his weapon, his fists covered in a metallic hue, and struck blow after blow at close range, did he finally put down the crazed Awakener.

He gasped for air.

His mind was filled with anger, confusion, bewilderment.

Just as he looked at the others in the room, wanting to say something, he suddenly realized…

“Something's not right with the boss.”

Another team member leaned over, his pistol aimed at the hole nearby.

There, where two figures had appeared at some unknown time.

They seemed no different from normal people dressed in ordinary clothes, but as they approached, the corners of their mouths gradually revealed fangs, and their nails grew long like claws.

At the same moment, the front door of the haggard youth's home burst open like debris, and another figure walked in.

Three people.

No,

“Are these people or monsters?”

The three members from Wavemist Nation's Ultra Combat Unit were unsure as well.

The leader of the Awakeners said, “Retreat, retreat, retreat! We're no match for them.”

In such cramped quarters, with only himself as an Awakener, they couldn't fight, especially since these monsters seemed to… have an incredibly tenacious vitality.

They were shot so many times and yet didn't die!

As for the four ordinary people who had been dragged into this, the captain of the Awakeners mentally apologized, you're on your own now.

Just as he thought this, he saw one of them crouch down, spread his fingers, and press them against the floor.

In an instant,

Countless white threads spread from the floor, rising and intertwining, forming a net.

Accompanied by a low shout, the crouching youth's palms sparked with thunder, and the lightning shot along the threads with great speed. In just a moment before the three cultists could react, the azure lightning enveloped them.

Craack—

Craack—

The dazzling lightning illuminated the room, revealing the stunned faces of the Ultra Combat Unit.
