Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 30, Saving Xia's Heart (5 chapters released after launch, read on!)
As for Chen Hao's team, nothing unexpected happened at the last stop, but they didn't find the person they were looking for either, presumably because they had already evacuated.

At this moment, the group was leading a group of survivors on their way to the safe zone.

As magicians, they certainly couldn't only save their own family members. While they wouldn't search every building like professional rescue teams, they wouldn't refuse anyone who asked for help and wanted to join them.

Since their rescue route is in the opposite direction from the safety barrier, they now have to travel nearly 6 kilometers, including the route around the Yinmao Building where the Winged Wolf is located, which is undoubtedly an extremely long journey.

"Wait, isn't this Mingwen Girls' High School?" Looking at the familiar buildings, Chen Hao immediately thought of those white, jade-like legs, and then realized something.

"Hey, you're not thinking of going in to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, are you?" Zhou Min frowned, a little worried that Chen Hao was currently driven by lust.

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up. This was the team leader, and they didn't want any more trouble. They just wanted to enter the safety barrier as soon as possible and hoped that no one else would join the team.

There's no way around it; people are always selfish, especially at times like this.

However, it is up to Chen Hao to decide what to do!
"You guessed right. I remember Mo Fan's sister studies here. She has difficulty walking and probably hasn't evacuated yet. I'll look around the area. If you're willing to wait, find a place to hide and wait for me. If you're not willing to wait, please do as you please."

"Are you crazy? Just for one person!" someone couldn't help but exclaim. "We have dozens of people with us right now!"

“So I’m going alone.” Chen Hao’s tone was calm, but it revealed an undeniable determination. “I don’t need you to come along, and I won’t delay your departure.”

Having said that, he said no more, turned around and rushed into the ruins.

The group exchanged uneasy glances, and the atmosphere became tense and heavy. Zhou Min opened her mouth, but ultimately refrained from uttering any words of objection.

“He’s not acting recklessly,” Zhou Min said in a low voice at the end. “The reason we’ve been able to hold out this long is because he’s always been at the forefront… If he wants to save people, then let him go. We’ll hide and wait for him.”

The group fell silent, but no one left.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao was already hugging the edge of the ruins, rapidly approaching the familiar shopping plaza.

He moved with incredible speed, his fighting spirit flowing through his limbs, greatly alleviating the burden of fatigue. With the help of the triple secret technique, his injuries had almost completely healed; as long as he didn't encounter any more three-eyed demon wolves, he should be fine.

Recalling the details from the original work.

—Walmart supermarket, basement level, Ye Xinxia should be there.

"Hopefully it's not too late," he muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the dilapidated plaza gate, where a corner had been trampled by demons, with rubble and broken beams crisscrossing like a mountain.

Instead of rushing in through the main entrance, he went around to the observation elevator on the side, easily broke the glass, jumped down, and landed on the basement level.

A stench of decay and blood assaulted his nostrils, and the sight before him caused his face to darken instantly.

The supermarket was a mess, with shelves overturned, various items scattered on the floor, and rat paw prints stained with sewage everywhere, stinking horribly.

Chen Hao's expression turned cold as he drew his powerful bow and nocked an arrow.

"A bunch of filthy vermin, die!"

The crosshair quickly locked onto a giant-eyed gorilla that was eating, and the next moment, a flash of silver light ended its life.

This also startled the other giant-eyed rats. In an instant, seven or eight giant-eyed rats emerged from behind the containers, in the pipes, and from the messy items. Their pointed ears stood up, and their blood-red eyes stared intently at Chen Hao.

The next moment, scarlet laser beams shot out from their eyes.

Chen Hao took down his badly damaged greatsword and held it horizontally in front of him, blocking three attacks. He couldn't afford to pay attention to attacks from all directions, and could only avoid vital points, letting them hit his armor. Because his armor had been deformed during the battle with the three-eyed demon wolf, some parts had been discarded. At this moment, a ray of light struck his lower abdomen, which was not covered by iron armor.

Instantly, the leather burst open, revealing a bloody mess; the wound looked like a severe burn, charred black.

"Ouch, that hurts like hell! How come there are so many rats?" Chen Hao's mouth twitched in pain as he quickly hid in the supermarket's cover. The next moment, seven or eight more rays struck, instantly piercing through the cover.

Chen Hao could only lie on the ground, trying his best to protect the parts of his body that were not covered by armor.

"Damn! So what if you can do ranged attacks?" Chen Hao cursed as he began to question his life. He already had the vitality of a servant-level advanced stage, so how could these guys still break through his defenses?

Other protagonists start at high levels in their newbie villages, but here, not only can I not fight against opponents of higher levels, I can't even crush opponents of the same or lower levels.
What happened to the promise of having a realm that crushes everything?

Why are my scores so low?!

There was no time to complain. Taking advantage of the pause in the giant-eyed rats' attack, Chen Hao immediately gripped his bow, nocked an arrow, drew the string, and quickly fired an arrow.

With a crosshair in place and the arrow trajectory completely locked, there's virtually no chance of missing when shooting large targets like demons; one arrow can instantly take down a giant-eyed ape-rat.

The next moment, seven or eight more rays struck.

Chen Hao dodged again, and after the attack interval, he got up once more to prepare for another arrow.

However, they were extremely unlucky.

"jump!!!!"

After repeated high-intensity use and combat wear, the alloy bowstring finally reached its limit, and the 1.2-ton pulling force exploded directly in his hand, almost hitting Chen Hao's face with the thick bow arm.

"Damn it!" he cursed angrily, realizing his bad luck.

Chen Hao threw down his war bow, picked up his greatsword, and charged out. Even if he were naked and fighting bare-handed, let alone with equipment protecting him, Chen Hao's advanced physical condition would be enough to tear these rats apart with his bare hands.

However, his life had always been smooth sailing, which made him habitually want to end the battle without taking any damage.

Unfortunately, reality didn't give him the time of day.

When bad luck strikes, even drinking water can cause problems.

As soon as Chen Hao stepped out of the cover, a giant-eyed ape-rat pounced on him as if it had anticipated it, its sharp fangs bared, bloodshot and nearly biting his cheek.

"Get out!" Chen Hao roared, his greatsword sweeping across the room. The heavy blade, accompanied by a sonic boom, slammed into the ape-rat, smashing it into the shipping container, leaving it a bloody mess.

The remaining giant-eyed ape rats immediately surrounded him, but Chen Hao no longer conserved his fighting spirit. He wielded his giant sword with wide, sweeping strokes, creating a whirlwind of energy, and in no time he had cut them all down and chopped them to pieces.

The remains of the orangutan rats flew about, and a stench filled the air. Chen Hao stood in the center of the pile of corpses, sword in hand, his chest heaving violently.

He was covered in blood, whether from himself or the beasts, he didn't know. But his expression remained unchanged; killing demons was something he was used to.

"Very well, the only piece of equipment left is also destroyed." He glanced at the war bow that had been blown to pieces, cursed inwardly, but did not stop walking.

Dragging his tattered, blackened armor toward the frozen meat section, he finally spotted a figure moving slightly in a corner—a refrigerator door was half-open, and a strand of long, black hair cascaded out from it.
