Before Lin Bei could speak again, voices of doubt arose from among the survivors on the first floor.

They looked at each other in surprise, then one of the women pointed at the man next to her and exclaimed, "You, what are you doing here? Wasn't it your turn to guard the entrance to the underground parking lot?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then stammered in protest, "What do you mean it's my turn? There's still half an hour left. You just want to slack off, don't you? Shouldn't you be the one standing guard there?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding survivors erupted in uproar, creating chaos. Some accused the two of being disobedient, while others complained about their irresponsibility. In short, the survivors, who had been united just moments before, were now falling apart.

Lin Bei looked at them indifferently, finding it all rather amusing.

His gaze shifted to Lee Eun-hyeok, and seeing that he still had that indifferent look, he couldn't help but speak.

Even in this situation, do you still want to lead them?

Lee Eun-hyuk adjusted his glasses: "Without leadership, none of them can survive. If they work together, they can still find a way out."

Lin Bei chuckled, ignoring him, and slowly looked up.

Li Enyu, who was standing next to Lin Bei, had been watching him closely. When she saw him look up, she looked up as well.

With just one glance, Li Enyu noticed something amiss.

She hesitated, her brows furrowing, until she could clearly see what was in the intricate network of pipes above her head, at which point her expression suddenly changed drastically.

Li Enyu pointed to the ceiling and shouted, "Stop making noise! ​​A monster is coming!"

The shout stopped the still noisy survivors. They all looked up, their faces changed drastically, and they screamed and scattered in all directions.

Lee Eun-hyuk also noticed the monster, and he quickly realized that it was a spider-shaped monster.

Lee Eun-hyuk's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Don't run around! The more you run, the more likely you are to disturb the monster. It might only catch monsters that are running!"

Just after Lee Eun-hye finished speaking, the spider-shaped monster actually jumped down from the pipes in the ceiling and spewed countless sticky spider silks at the crowd running in the distance.

In an instant, screams of terror filled the first floor. Everyone became the prey of the spider monster. Anyone who ran was hit by the spider silk, either stuck to the ground or stuck to the wall.

The only safe spot is at the foot of Linbei.

The people Lin Bei brought down from upstairs were all very obedient; even when they saw the spider monster jump down, they didn't make a sound.

Including two children.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Enyu was somewhat nervous and asked Lin Bei in a low voice, "What should we do now? Those people... aren't dead yet, are they? Should we save them?"

Lin Bei chuckled and waved his hand behind him: "You guys go wait in the stairwell. I'll deal with the monster. As for whether they live or die, that's up to their own fate."

With that, Lin Bei lifted his foot and walked towards the spider monster.

Just as he passed by Lee Eun-hyuk, Lee Eun-hyuk hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you really sure? Instead of doing something uncertain here, why don't we organize the remaining safe people to collect supplies and go upstairs?"

Lin Bei didn't dislike Lee Eun-hye.

He always suppresses his emotions with reason and analyzes the best solution in front of him as quickly as possible.

Of course, he also had no qualms about using people.

Lin Bei ignored him and turned to look at Li Enyu: "Take your brother away."

Lee Eun-woo paused for a moment, then jogged over and grabbed Lee Eun-hyuk, complaining in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble now. I'm telling you, I followed him all the way downstairs, and I saw with my own eyes how powerful he is. Just trust him. Once he kills the monster, you can do whatever you want."

Lee Eun-hyuk still had some doubts about what Lee Eun-yu said, but he did not stop Lin Bei anymore, and just silently watched him continue to walk forward.

As Lin Bei approached the spider monster, the spider monster continued to spit out spider silk, hanging the humans who were stuck upside down one by one.

The spider monster was spinning silk. It seemed to sense someone approaching, and suddenly turned around, spitting out sticky spider silk at Lin Bei without hesitation.

The spider silk rushed towards Lin Bei's face. Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and did not resist, letting the spider silk wrap around his upper body.

If this were sprayed on an ordinary person, the immense force of the spider silk would have knocked them down and caused them to fall heavily to the ground.

However, for Lin Bei, it only wrapped around him a few times and did not shake his steps in the slightest.

He continued walking forward, and with a snap of his fingers, flames shot out from the spider silk wrapped around him, quickly burning it all away.

The spider monster seemed surprised that there were humans so powerful; it was also clearly different from other monsters, possessing a certain level of intelligence.

The spider monster stared intently at Lin Bei, then leaped up and disappeared into the intricate network of pipes overhead.

The spider monster is trying to launch a sneak attack.

People in the stairwell peered into the lobby, and their hearts tightened the moment the spider monster vanished.

This was the first intelligent monster they had encountered on their journey.

Ordinary monsters are already difficult to deal with, but now these monsters have intelligence, which makes it even more difficult.
Can Lin Bei really solve this so easily?
Those in the stairwell, unaware of the extent of Lin Bei's power, could only silently pray that this sole savior would survive.

If he survives, they will be able to survive as well.

Just when everyone thought Lin Bei would lure out the spider monster, Lin Bei suddenly stopped.

He didn't even look up at the sky; he just stared straight ahead.

Just as the people in the stairwell were having some doubts, it was Li Enyu who noticed something unusual in the direction Lin Bei was looking.

Just as Li Enyu noticed, Lin Bei's calm voice echoed throughout the first-floor lobby.

“New monsters are coming. If I were you and wanted to survive, I would shut up.”

Lin Bei was saying this to the survivors around him who were stuck to the ground and hadn't yet been hung upside down from the ceiling by the spider monster.

Some people immediately shut up, but Jin Shi was still cursing and blaming Lin Bei for not saving people.

Lin Bei ignored Jin Shixian's voice, put his hands behind his back, and calmly watched the monsters slowly emerge from the shadows of the corridor ahead.

One of them was different from the others. It seemed to hear Jin Shixian cursing and swearing. It shook its head slightly and then disappeared from the spot the next second.

The people in the stairwell couldn't see the monster's movements and instinctively wanted to scream, but remembering Lin Bei's words, they all covered their mouths.

Only Lin Bei saw it.

The monster was so fast that it practically launched itself off the ground, heading straight for the source of the sound.

It went straight to Jinshixian and raised its hand to slam it heavily onto the ground.

The old man, who had just been cursing Lin Bei, let out a short scream. With a loud "bang," the scream stopped abruptly as the monster smashed Jin Shixian's head open.

Blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground, and some of the liquid even splashed onto the faces of several people not far from Jinshixian.

In an instant, the people in the hall who had been somewhat uneasy all fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw.

Since they were on the first floor from the beginning, they didn't witness many monsters killing people. Even if they did see it once or twice, it was a common tactic, something often seen in movies and TV shows.

But now?

This is mind-blowing. How many people can stand such a bloody and violent scene?

Most of the people were just ordinary people, and they were stunned by the scene, staring blankly at Jin Shixian's corpse.

Not far from Jin Shixian, his wife gasped for breath, cried out in panic, "Husband!" and burst into tears, unable to control herself.

This crying immediately attracted the attention of the extremely fast monster.

There were survivors around Jin Shixian's wife. His expression immediately changed, and he wanted to remind Jin Shixian's wife to be quiet.

Before he could even speak, the monster flashed and teleported in front of Jin Shixian's wife.

With another loud bang, Jin Shixian's wife was also smashed to pieces and could no longer make a sound.

Two people died in succession at the hands of the monster, and those around them, stuck to the ground and walls, dared not even breathe.

The hall fell silent again, everyone held their breath, and despair gradually crept into their hearts.

The monster is so fast that no matter what method humans use, they can't fight it. Even if they have guns, they can't hit the monster.

What should they do in this situation?
Just then, a soft sigh echoed through the hall.

"It's nothing special."

A voice, indifferent and even slightly disdainful, echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone looked at Lin Bei with surprise.

As soon as Lin Bei finished speaking, the monster immediately sensed Lin Bei's location and vanished from the spot in a flash. Everyone around who witnessed this silently mourned for Lin Bei.

They had been hoping that this Lin Bei would be incredibly capable, but in the end, he was just so-so.

The monster has already made its appearance, but Lin Bei hasn't made any move to deal with it. In fact, he's even lost two lives. Perhaps this Lin Bei is helpless against such an extremely fast monster.

Just then, Lin Bei suddenly raised his hand and reached to his right.

Then, it was seen that his right hand seemed to have grasped something in the void, his fingers slightly clenched, and the next second, the extremely fast monster appeared in Lin Bei's hand.

Lin Bei precisely grabbed the monster by the neck, lifted it off the ground, and held it high in the air.

This scene was too shocking for humans, since since the monsters appeared, no human has been able to contend with their power.

But now, Lin Bei has easily controlled the monster with just one hand.

Is this reasonable?

Everyone was shocked and frightened, and they all held their breath and stared at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei was examining the monster in his hand.

The monster was also struggling, trying to escape from Lin Bei's grasp.

It even used its hands to grab Lin Bei's arm, seemingly trying to twist it to pieces.

Unfortunately, no matter how much force it used, it couldn't even break the skin on Lin Bei's arm.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Bei's eyes. He slightly curled his lips and slowly uttered a sentence.

"The flames are blazing."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge fireball appeared out of thin air. The flames were so hot that they ignited the spider silk that was stuck to the humans nearby.

The monster seemed to sense the presence of death within the fireball. It struggled even more fiercely, even letting out roars, attracting other monsters in an attempt to get them to attack Lin Bei.

Lin Bei watched the three monsters rushing towards him without blinking, and just watched as the fireball was first swallowed by the monster he was holding high in the air, and then manipulated the fireball to devour the three monsters that had already arrived in front of him.

It all happened so fast.

When everyone came to their senses, Lin Bei was already surrounded by four fiercely burning flames. He stood in the flames like a son of a god.

In the stairwell, a fervent and devout look flashed in the eyes of Zheng Zaixian, a Christian. He made a cross and slowly said "Amen".

As the flames gradually died down, someone tried to walk out of the stairwell, but Li Enyu quickly grabbed them, saying, "Don't forget, there's still one hiding in the ceiling!"

Reminded by Lee Eun-wook, Yoon Ji-soo, who had taken half a step out, was startled and quickly returned to the stairwell.

Looking at Lin Bei again, after the flames were completely extinguished, many people on the ground regained their freedom because the spider silk had been burned. They didn't care about rescuing others, and hurriedly ran into the stairwell, looking at the direction of the hall with fear on their faces.

As for those still trapped on the ground, they knew that Lin Bei hadn't come to rescue them, so they could only pray silently, hoping that Lin Bei could kill the spider monster on the ceiling.

Lin Bei did indeed want to deal with the monster hiding in the ceiling.

But finding it is too troublesome.

Lin Bei dislikes anything that only adds to the trouble.

He thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers, activating the power of the Shadow King.

The shadow beneath his feet began to churn, and countless black liquids rapidly spread out, all of which, under Lin Bei's instructions, entered the pipes in the ceiling and quickly covered the entire first-floor ceiling.

In the instant the liquid spread, Lin Bei located the spider monster's hiding place based on the black liquid. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he directly wrapped the spider's legs with the black liquid.

Immediately, various sounds of impact and struggle came from the ceiling, accompanied by the roars of monsters.

The people in the stairwell felt a chill run down their spines and shrank even further into the stairwell.

Soon, the noise from the ceiling stopped abruptly.

The lobby on the first floor fell silent once again.

The black liquid slowly seeped down from the ceiling, dripping onto the floor, pooling together, and then seeping back into Lin Bei's shadow along the floor.

This scene is beyond human comprehension.

If the fireballs Lin Bei used before could be explained by magic or fire-breathing props, then what is this black liquid that can penetrate into the shadows?
Is Lin Bei really a monster?
This thought spontaneously surfaced in the minds of the survivors, and their gazes toward Lin Bei no longer contained gratitude, but instead carried a hint of hostility.

This hostility felt like countless needles pricking Lin Bei, and he sensed it immediately.

However, he didn't take it seriously and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

The survivors on the first floor of the stairwell instinctively backed away from Lin Bei, while only those who had come down from upstairs with Lin Bei eagerly approached and thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Bei glanced at the hostile people and ignored them. He gestured with his chin toward Li Enyu and Li Enhe and said, "Let's go. The supermarket owner is dead. Go pack up the supplies. Either go upstairs or leave."

Upon hearing that they were leaving, the expressions on their faces changed slightly. (End of Chapter)
