I changed the world.

It was breathing heavily, constantly looking left and right, not missing any movement. Its movements were not sluggish, but rather gave people a feeling of being huge yet agile.

An Huiling glanced at him briefly before turning her head away, not daring to look again. She keenly sensed a kind of malevolent intent emanating from him that made her uncomfortable, and she was afraid that her gaze would alert him.

Along with the monster came a rustling sound, which came from hard-shelled beetles the size of watermelons. Although they were not very big, there were many of them, and they were roaming around.

"Hoo..." The monster seemed to sense something, stopped, and looked toward An Huiling's location.

At this moment, An Huiling had already pulled her head back, leaned against the wall of the building, hugged her knees and huddled there, holding her breath tightly, not daring to exhale even a little.

A moment later, the giant monster turned its face away, breathing heavily, and continued walking forward.

After the giant creature gradually disappeared into the thick fog, the eerie hard-shelled insects continued to roam around. One of them crawled along the wall of the house, came to a corner, and then found An Huiling huddled in the corner.

At this moment, An Huiling finally saw the beetle clearly. It looked somewhat like a trilobite from a fossil, with a dark shell. However, on the shell of its head, there was a pattern that looked like a human face.

Suddenly, the beetle straightened its upper body, like a spider about to pounce, and hissed as it lunged forward.

With lightning speed, An Huiling plunged her sword down, piercing him and pinning him to the ground.

The strange insect did not die immediately, and the sound it made while struggling attracted other beetles to gather around. Seeing that the situation was not good, An Huiling quickly drew her long sword and lightly leaped onto the roof to hide.

Then she saw the beetle she had pierced being devoured by its kind that had gathered around it, and it was quickly chewed up...

Feeling a chill in her heart, An Huiling dared not linger. After observing her surroundings, she silently leaped onto the roof of another low building not far away.

An Huiling moved cautiously through the thick fog, searching for a building that could serve as a refuge. Compared to the empty daytime, the resort now resembled a night of ghosts, with monsters roaming everywhere.

Some of these monsters seemed incredibly powerful, like the giants she had seen before, while others appeared much weaker. Among them were deformed humanoid monsters, like the eyeless skinned men she had seen during the day, and bizarre beings with heads twisted and growing from their ribs, their entire bodies crawling in a twisted and grotesque manner. The list goes on and on...

Even An Huiling could easily deal with these kinds of monsters.

Most of the buildings along the way were ruins, either with missing roofs and completely open, or dilapidated and collapsed, in a semi-open structure, none of which were places to hide.

After walking about a hundred meters, just as An Huiling leaped onto the top of a building again to dodge a swarm of beetles crawling on the ground, she heard the sound of powerful wings flapping in the sky. An Huiling subconsciously looked up. She saw a monster with a sharp beak and bat-like wings swooping down from the thick fog, retracting and folding its wings like a cormorant diving into water, pouncing towards An Huiling.

An Huiling tried to dodge, but the monster was extremely fast. In her haste, the monster still grazed her left arm, leaving a bloody gash.

After circling in the air, the monster swooped down on her from another direction, lunging straight at her chest and abdomen. Clearly, it possessed some kind of ability to locate itself in the thick fog.

In nature, some creatures, such as bats, possess similar abilities.

This time, An Huiling was prepared. Just as the monster was about to hit her, she fell backward and slashed her longsword through the air. One of its wings was grazed by the sharp tip of the sword, and the monster instantly lost its balance, screaming as it crashed into the ground not far away.

Thud! A dull impact rang out as the monster flapped its wings and crashed diagonally into the ground, tumbling and rolling a distance with the force of the impact. It then groaned and struggled on the ground, clearly severely injured and unable to get up.

Its struggles attracted a small swarm of beetles nearby. These ferocious little creatures quickly crawled onto its body and began to bite it, while the monster struggled and let out even sharper screams...

An Huiling dared not look any longer, fearing that the commotion here would attract even more terrifying monsters. She covered the wound on her arm with her hand, jumped off the roof from the other side, and headed further away.

Once they were a little further away, An Huiling stopped and took out bandages from her backpack to start bandaging her wounds. It was because she was thoughtful that she had brought these medicines and bandages with her beforehand.

At this moment, there was no way to do proper wound care. I could only take out a wound spray and spray it on the wound a few times before doing emergency bandaging.

Having never learned how to bandage professionally before, An Huiling could only obediently wrap the bandage around several times and tighten it.

Chapter 240 The First Day

After stretching her arms and finding that it only slightly hindered their flexibility, An Huiling continued walking forward...

Fortunately, her luck, which had been low all day, seemed to finally turn around. After carefully passing through a patch of withered, strange trees, An Huiling discovered a building that looked relatively intact.

This is a building that looks taller than ordinary buildings. It has two floors and occupies a very large area. I don't know what kind of building it was before it was transformed.

Although it was dilapidated, at least the surrounding walls and roof were still intact, only the door above the doorway was rotten and leaning precariously.

An Huiling tiptoed inside, carefully pushed open the door, and heard a slight creak. An Huiling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked around. Finding that no monsters were rushing out from the thick fog, she relaxed slightly and entered the building.

The building was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. An Huiling took out an emergency flashlight from her backpack, turned it on, adjusted it to a low brightness, and began shining it left and right while observing her surroundings.

The building's interior is a large hall with scattered skeletons in the center and strange relief carvings on the walls.

Such a scene would have startled An Huiling a few days ago, but now she was somewhat numb. She glanced at it briefly before turning her gaze elsewhere.

Suddenly, An Huiling sniffed. There seemed to be an indescribable smell in the air, with a strong, fishy stench.

She suddenly realized something, and leaped to the side, shining her flashlight at the ceiling.

In the blink of an eye, just as she leaped out, a monster suddenly swooped down from the ceiling more than four meters above her head, landing precisely where she had just been standing.

An Huiling broke out in a cold sweat instantly. Under the light of her flashlight, she saw a monster in front of her that was more than a person tall.

This was a disgusting monster, seemingly cobbled together from a human, a spider, and some other creature. It had a distorted human face, and its abdomen was swollen like a worm. Where its limbs should have been, eight spider-like legs extended out—a hybrid of spider and human legs. Its back and body were covered in numerous toad-like bumps, and its spine had towering, bony, fin-like dorsal fins. Two eerie little eyes adorned its shoulders. The whole thing was twisted and repulsive.

The monster missed its first attack, its twisted face staring intently at An Huiling with a ferocious expression. Then, its eight legs moved swiftly, its entire body seemingly defying gravity, and it nimbly climbed up the vertical wall at an almost running speed.

Once it reached the middle of the wall, it used the wall for support, and with a powerful push from its eight legs, it leaped towards An Huiling's location like a cannonball.

An Huiling quickly dodged again, using her lightness skill to avoid the monster's attack once more. After exchanging blows for a while, An Huiling finally seized the moment when the monster pounced, slashing at the joint of its right forelimb with her sword, instantly severing half of its right forelimb.

The monster let out a scream, and its speed immediately slowed down after losing a leg.

Suddenly, its distorted human face opened its mouth, from which a strange mouthpart emerged, and then something was spat out from that mouthpart, shooting towards An Huiling.

Fortunately, An Huiling dodged to the side the moment she saw it extend its mandibles, avoiding the attack. The thing hit the wall behind her, turning into a puddle of liquid with a hissing sound, and at the same time, a pungent smell began to fill the air.

Although she didn't know what was being sprayed out, An Huiling became even more cautious after smelling it. Getting this stuff on her skin was hardly a good thing; it would most likely cause disfigurement...

Fortunately, after experiencing various unexpected situations that day, An Huiling's skills, especially her combat skills, have improved by leaps and bounds, and her efficiency is many times higher than when she trains on her own.

After a brief but intense struggle, An Huiling finally cut off the monster's four long legs and ultimately killed it.

Letting out a sigh of relief, An Huiling searched the surrounding area again but found no other monsters. She then went upstairs to search, but again found no monsters. It seemed that only one monster existed in the building, perhaps using it as its lair.

Having confirmed this, An Huiling felt relieved. She first dragged the monster's corpse and remains out of the house and dumped them outside to avoid attracting any other monsters.

Then, seizing the opportunity, she cut down some plant branches and other things nearby to reinforce the dilapidated door, at least blocking it completely from the outside. She then found a room on the second floor, and using a half-collapsed beam leaning against the wall, along with some building debris, she pieced together a small space for herself that could fit one person inside. She dragged her backpack inside, then blocked the entrance, so from the outside, it looked like an inconspicuous pile of rubble in the corner.

Afterwards, An Huiling held her breath, slowing down her metabolism as much as possible, and began to wait for dawn...

It was a long and difficult night. Because there was no indication of time, An Huiling didn't even know how much time had passed. So she had to start trying to count sheep by pressing her breathing.

One... two... three...

However, counting sheep isn't always easy. Sometimes you make a mistake while counting, can't remember how many you've counted, and have to start all over again...

It seemed like a long time had passed. An Huiling guessed that it might have been late at night when she even heard the sound of the door she had sealed on the first floor cracking, followed by heavy footsteps coming from the first floor.

Fortunately, the unknown footsteps lingered on the first floor for a while before leaving, showing no intention of going up to the second floor.

After an unknown amount of time, An Huiling even began to have doubts, wondering if daylight would never come...

Even when counting sheep, they counted to more than ten thousand.

Finally, a ray of light shone in from outside the sealed cave, and the next moment, the surrounding environment changed once again. The ruins she had built gradually changed their appearance.

Everything is changing...

Pushing aside the cover in front of her, An Huiling crawled out of her hiding place. Looking back, she realized that her previous hiding place was actually just a few overturned sofas piled up, with a chair and some miscellaneous items placed in front of them.

Looking around, it's a room of about 30 to 40 square meters, decorated in a typical island style. There are wooden floors underfoot and a TV on the wall. Judging from the furnishings, it seems to be a reception room. The walls are also decorated with wooden panels.

For a moment, An Huiling felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in another world. She stood there blankly for a while, and then suddenly tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out to wipe them away, but found that she couldn't dry them no matter what she did. Finally, she sobbed and covered her face with her hands...

After crying for a while, she forcefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, softly muttering, "Be strong, it's nothing, you're a brave girl... This can't be worse than leukemia, there's definitely a way..."

Gradually, her emotions calmed down. She took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and went downstairs.

Upon arriving on the first floor, An Huiling discovered that the skeletons on the ground and the traces of the previous battle had all disappeared without a trace. The first floor was a beautifully decorated hall. She looked around and found that it seemed to be a villa, perhaps a resort area used to rent out to wealthy tourists for their vacations.

However, the villa was still empty. An Huiling quickly went to the window and looked out. Thick fog still filled the outside, and there was no sound or human figure in sight.

However, compared to the world just a few minutes ago, An Huiling suddenly felt that the world now was simply paradise...

Then she realized a problem: what happened last night was probably not the only time. There was a very high probability that the world would change like that again once it got dark.

As for whether this is actually the case, she felt that further observation was necessary, but it was worth considering it as such.

Thinking of this, An Huiling immediately felt a jolt. She knew that this meant she had to seize this relatively safe time to make some preparations.

So...what should be done?

Go home first...

An Huiling decided to return to the seaside villa she had previously rented.

After stepping out of the house, An Huiling used her lightness technique to leap onto the roof. Standing on the roof, she checked her location and found that it wasn't far from her previous residence.

So she began to carefully make her way towards her home.

It must be said that compared to the scene last night, which was practically a horde of ghosts, the resort during the day, though still eerily quiet, was on a completely different level. Although some areas still occasionally had monsters resembling deformed, twisted human bodies wandering aimlessly, An Huiling now felt that these minor monsters were no longer enough to deter her.

About five minutes later, she returned to her residence, where she had stored some food, which she took out and ate to replenish her energy.

Then, An Huiling looked down at her clothes. After the terrifying night, her clothes were torn in many places, and because she had rolled around on the rain-soaked ground repeatedly, the original colors were no longer visible.

Chapter 241 Police Station

He must have been covered in dirt and grime, and the wounds on his hands were still throbbing.

She decided to take a shower first, and then treat her wound.

But she soon discovered a problem—there was no water.

When the tap in the house was turned on, not a single drop of water came out.
