Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

"Then kill them."

Upon hearing the word "kill," a faint smile finally appeared on Song Ruhai's lips, which were now nothing but mangled flesh.

The next instant, countless mutated rats went berserk, devouring Song Ruhai's flesh and blood one bite after another, even tearing open his festering sores.

Yellowish, foul-smelling pustules kept bursting.

As his flesh was torn away bit by bit, Song Ruhai could no longer bear it and kept letting out heart-wrenching screams.

The moment the shout rang out, more than a dozen mutated rats instantly darted into his throat and bit through Song Ruhai's trachea.

Looking at the lifeless Song Ruhai, Qingheng turned and left.

As she turned around, in the water prison below, swarms of mutated rats began their gluttonous feast, tearing off all of Song Ruhai's flesh and blood.

Mutant rats continued to fight over flesh and blood in the stinking water, and soon only a human skeleton covered in blood and bits of flesh remained.

......

Outside the Bank Street outpost, pairs of small, thin slaves crawled out of the ground, while several gifted individuals guarded the outpost on the main street.

Qingheng leaned against a dilapidated corner of the wall, gazing at the crowd.

Of the people at the night watch camp, fewer than a hundred survived the mining operation, including three gifted individuals. However, they were all merely first-tier gifted individuals.

"Are you sure you want to send them to the Black Forest?"

"What can we do if we don't deliver it? Do you dare disobey Lord Jintu's orders, or does our Chief Wu dare?" Zhang Zhi glanced at the man who spoke, then looked at Qing Heng again to confirm.

"Is it cleaned up?"

Qingheng didn't speak, but nodded silently, and then continued to stare at the survivors of the night watch camp who had left the Bank Street stronghold.

With his talent [Interlude], Qingheng kept a close eye on all the movements in the crowd, making sure no one was discussing information about Song Ruhai.

"Aren't you worried that person might reappear if you just let them go like that?"

A trace of lingering fear remained in Ou Dianchun's eyes.

Ever since she was targeted, she has been feeling uneasy.

They thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the Ash Earth Camp issued an order for them to hand over everyone in the Night Watch Camp.

That terrifying figure once again echoed in Ou Dianchun's mind.

Not only him, but Lin Yumo was also uneasy, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Alright, don't overthink it. If the sky falls, the Third Battalion Commander will hold it up."

Sensing the team members' unease, Zhang Zhi gave a cold rebuke.

Outside the ruins of Tokyo, several hundred survivors stood blankly beside the deep trench.

Since emerging from the underground mine, they have been driven forward like zombies. When they hear the roars of mutated beasts coming from the ruined streets, these survivors will instinctively cover their heads and squat on the ground, motionless.

If it weren't for the gifted individuals from the Ash Earth Camp guarding both sides of the group, some of them might have been scared away.

Murong Shan glanced at the group of scantily clad slaves around him, then looked at the other side of the deep trench and shouted loudly.

"The person has arrived."

Jiang Xiaochen kept his eyes fixed on the group of tattered survivors. Ever since they left the ruined city of Tokyo, Jiang Xiaochen's gaze had never left them.

He carefully observed every person and every face, silently chanting in his heart, "Song Ruhai, Song Ruhai, where are you~"

Until the group of survivors reached the other side of the deep trench, Jiang Xiaochen could see almost all their dirty faces clearly, but he found nothing.

"Brother Jiang, have you made any discoveries?"

Green Eyes kept an eye on Jiang Xiaochen's changing expressions out of the corner of her eye. She saw the expressions in his eyes constantly shifting, from expectation to nervousness to disappointment to joy, until they were finally overshadowed by a trace of grief.

Hearing Green Eyes' soft call, Jiang Xiaochen came back to his senses, turned his head to meet Green Eyes' questioning gaze, and said sadly.

"Bring them all over."

Song Ruhai was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he had died trying to save them when they were ambushed by the Ash Earth Camp last time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaochen looked across the deep trench and at the people in the Ash Earth Camp. The sadness in his eyes gradually turned cold, and he thought to himself.

"Ru Hai, one day I will slaughter the Ash Earth Camp to avenge you."

Beside him, the green-eyed man gave a few instructions to a mutant. Soon after, vines flew out from the black forest behind them, rapidly approaching the other side of the deep trench hundreds of meters away.

In just over ten breaths, a vine bridge was built across the deep trench.

"Let them go."

Upon hearing the voice of the green-eyed man, Murong Shan looked towards the rattan bridge connecting the two sides of the deep ravine. After hesitating for a moment, he glanced back at a certain direction behind him, and finally waved his hand, signaling all the servants beside him to go over.

"Murong Shan, Lord Jintu instructed us to escort these people to the mining area."

Upon hearing Chao Tingxue's words, Shangguan Yu and the others all looked towards Murong Mountain and the Black Forest. They had a certain longing in their hearts, but not in the way they were looking now.

Infiltrate the Black Forest undetected; you might even hunt down mutated beasts and obtain some Source Crystals.

But if they were to go to the Black Forest so openly, whether they could come back alive was another matter entirely.

"You heard it too, the other side disagrees!"

Murong Shan had previously informed Green Eyes of their demands, but Green Eyes immediately refused.

Now that the mining area has just stabilized, how could Jiang Xiaochen, Green Eyes, and the others possibly allow the gifted individuals from the ruined city of Tokyo to enter the Black Forest?

"But Lord Jintu~"

Before Chao Tingxue could continue, Shangguan Yu coldly interrupted her.

"If you want to go, there is a way; you can become a slave. However, you should know what the consequences will be if you are discovered."

Chao Tingxue glanced at Shangguan Yu, her eyes filled with coldness, and even a hint of anger.

It was obvious that she was being sent to her death, and just as she was getting angry, Murong Shan's voice rang out.

"That's one possible solution."

"Murong Shan, what do you want to do?"

Shangguan Yu was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect Murong Shan to take it seriously. He quickly warned him.

"If you want to become a slave, then go by yourself. Don't try to trick me into it, not even Lord Jintu."

As soon as Shangguan Yu finished speaking, the other gifted individuals also expressed that they would never become slaves.

"Let Chao Tingxue go!"

"Yes, she likes Lord Jintu, so letting her go is the most suitable thing for her!"

Listening to her teammates chattering amongst themselves, Chao Tingxue's face turned pale and then purple.

"Chao Tingxue, what are your thoughts?"

Murong Shan glanced at the talented individuals who had spoken, a cold warning in his eyes.

The group immediately shut up.

Meeting Murong Shan's gaze, he nodded emphatically to Tingxue, "I'm going!"
