Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

Zhu Wenchao quickly approached, and upon seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of disdain.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's futile and overestimating one's own strength."

He exerted force with his feet, leaping forward through the air, gathering his meager innate strength, and delivered a vicious kick straight at the blade of the fire axe that Shen Changge was swinging at.

Click—!

A crisp, piercing cracking sound suddenly echoed through the ruined streets and alleys.

The sturdy axe handle snapped in two, sending steel chips flying.

With his strength still intact, Zhu Wenchao's vicious kick landed heavily on Shen Changge's thin chest.

The dull, throbbing pain of his bones cracking instantly swept through his limbs and bones. Before he could even utter a groan, his body was sent flying backward like a broken kite.

A sharp shockwave carrying gravel and sand grazed past his ears, his vision went black for a moment, and all his strength was drained away.

The next second, he rolled straight between Song Ruhai and Lin Xuanzhi, who had suddenly stopped, and crashed heavily into the jagged, sharp ruins on one side.

Shen Changge's back slammed against the cold, hard rocks, and a metallic taste immediately rose in his throat. His vision blurred, and he could no longer get up.

"A long song!"

Song Ruhai's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart sank suddenly. He threw all thoughts of safety and retreat to the back of his mind and rushed forward without regard for anything else.

He knelt heavily on one knee, carefully and urgently supporting Shen Changge's drooping head, his fingertips touching something warm and smooth.

Song Ruhai cried out urgently, "Changge, Changge! How are you? Hang in there, please don't let anything happen to you!"

Lin Xuanzhi felt ice-cold all over, and tears instantly welled up and rolled down her cheeks.

Her heart clenched, filled with a mixture of regret and panic. She choked back tears and rushed forward, her steps frantic and unsteady.

Even if they tried their best to escape, in the face of a powerful person with awakened talent, the running and dodging of ordinary people was ultimately no match.

She abruptly stopped in her haste, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and her eyes, once filled with timidity, were now filled with determination and sorrow.

Lin Xuanzhi suddenly turned around to face Zhu Wenchao and his two companions who were approaching step by step. The cold wind blew up the corner of her tattered clothes, making her look unusually lonely and cold.

She questioned in a cold, deep voice, "Why must you resort to such deadly force? We'll give you everything!"

Zhu Wenchao paused, glancing down at Shen Changge, who was lying on the ground with weak breath, and then looking up at Lin Xuanzhi, whose eyes were filled with tears but who refused to lower her head.

A sinister, smug smile slowly crept onto his lips, his eyes a mixture of greed and cruelty.

"If you had cooperated earlier, why did you have to suffer this ordeal and end up in such a sorry state?"

As he spoke, he casually stepped forward, gently hooking Lin Xuanzhi's chin with his finger, his tone flippant and indifferent, showing no compassion whatsoever.

Zhu Wenchao's gaze swept past Lin Xuanzhi's profile and fell upon the dying Shen Changge. He clicked his tongue twice and said coldly.

"However, even if he died on the spot, it wouldn't be our fault at all."

He only has himself to blame for being so blind, stubbornly blocking my way and deliberately running into my feet; he was simply courting death.

Before the words were finished, a blur of black lightning suddenly shot out and arrived in front of Shen Changge and Song Ruhai in an instant.

Surrounded by wisps of black electricity, Zheng Qianshan looked down coldly at the two of them, unable to bear it.

"Although his internal injuries are severe, he has only fainted and will not die anytime soon."

Get up, carry him on your back, don't lie here blocking the way.

With Song Ruhai carrying Shen Changge and Lin Xuanzhi on his back and leading the way, Zhu Wenchao, Zheng Qianshan, and Wen Yunling quickly realized where the three were going.

When the three of them finally saw the outline of the building standing in the middle of the ruins, they were suddenly stunned.

That dilapidated 30-story building in front of us.

The dilapidated 30-story building was in ruins, with large areas of peeling paint and marks from the claws of strange beasts. It was the night watch camp where they had lived for countless years.

At that moment, Zhu Wenchao, Zheng Qianshan, and Wen Yunling were all startled, their eyes flashing with astonishment and doubt.

No one expected that the refuge Lin Xuanzhi had risked her life to reach was actually the abandoned old night watch camp they had evacuated from earlier.

The same doubt and thought simultaneously surged and swirled in the hearts of the three.

"The Night Watch camp was just breached by the Ember Earth camp, and he and the others have been captured. You, you're still staying here, aren't you worried that the Ember Earth camp's gifted individuals will return?"

Although Zheng Qianshan's voice was cold, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

As they were about to reach the shelter building, Song Ruhai could no longer contain his anger. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, and stared intently at Zhu Wenchao.

"If anything happens to Shen Changge today, I, Song Ruhai, swear here and now that I will fight you treacherous bastards to the death!"

Song Ruhai's roar was almost a loud scream, hoping that Su Yuyang could hear his distress signal.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, there was no response from inside the shelter building.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wenchao, who was standing in front of him, completely ignored Song Ruhai and instead offered a reminder.

"Be careful, let them go into the building to investigate later."

He appeared indifferent on the surface, but in his heart he was already on guard and making repeated plans.

The fact that the shelter was set up in the old Night Watch camp was too unusual and strange. It was hard to say that it might be a trap set by the Ash Earth camp, waiting for them to walk in rashly and be wiped out.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Wenchao turned his head without making a sound, glancing at Wen Yunling, who stood silently to his side. He secretly gave her a cryptic look and raised his hand to make a gesture of listening carefully.

Wen Yunling awakened the innate ability of "Listening to the Wind," which allows him to detect all subtle movements within a hundred meters by listening to the wind.

Wen Yunling understood immediately and moved to Zheng Qianshan's side. The two worked together seamlessly, with one of them bending down and lifting the unconscious and seriously injured Shen Changge with one hand.

The other man reached out and restrained Song Ruhai, who was filled with anger and powerless to resist. His strength was steady and domineering, and he did not allow the two to struggle. He walked slowly towards the dilapidated 30-story building in front of them.

Zhu Wenchao raised his hand to conceal the gloom in his eyes, then turned to look at Lin Xuanzhi, who was alone beside him, and politely gestured for her to lead the way.

"Let's go, lead the way, and don't try anything funny."

Five figures traversed the broken walls and yellowish haze, and soon stood steadily outside the dilapidated main gate of the night watch camp.

The rusty iron gate was crooked and collapsed, and the door panel was covered with a dense array of claw marks and teeth marks, all of which were ferocious traces left by the monsters and zombies that attacked the camp in turn in the past.

Zhu Wenchao subconsciously looked around. The smog was thick and the surroundings were unusually quiet. Even the usual roars of low-level beasts that used to roam around had completely disappeared.

He turned to look at Wen Yunling, who was intently investigating beside him, and asked in a low voice with a serious expression.

"So? Any discoveries?"

Wen Yunling immediately focused his mind and held his breath, fully activating the source energy within his body. He twitched his ears slightly, carefully detecting every unusual sound and movement of the wind around him, and thoroughly investigated every blade of grass and tree within a radius of 100 meters.

But a moment later, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion, and he even began to doubt his own talent for "listening to the wind."

He kept increasing the consumption of his internal energy and repeatedly probed the area, but in the end he could only reply in a deep voice.

"There was nothing unusual about it. It was as if the entire thirty-story building was completely empty, like a ghost building."
