The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Then he saw it.

About two hundred meters ahead, there is an old-fashioned five-story building.

The grayish-white walls were covered with cracks; some windows were broken, others were intact, and the glass reflected a blinding light in the sunlight. The roof was flat, with a low railing around the edge.

The building's style clashes with the surrounding teaching buildings... It lacks the glass curtain walls and streamlined design of modern universities, instead resembling an old residential building from the 1970s or 80s. It's square, simple, and unadorned, with faded slogans still remaining on the walls.

Su Mu didn't know why this kind of building would appear on a university campus, but that was obviously not a question he needed to consider right now.

His attention was drawn to a few people on the rooftop.

Seven people.

They stood on the edge of the rooftop, pale-faced and tense. Some held weapons—a steel pipe, a kitchen knife, a shield made of wooden planks. Others were empty-handed, their hands gripping the railing tightly, their knuckles white.

Their eyes were all fixed in the same direction...downstairs.

Su Mu followed their gaze.

Then his pupils contracted slightly.

That was a monster.

It was enormous, at least four or five meters long and more than two meters tall, covered in dark brown mane, like a giant beast that had run out of some dark fairy tale.

Its head is flat, its mouth is wide, and a curved fang extends from each side of its mouth, as long as an adult's arm, with the tip gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Wild boar.

No, it's not an ordinary wild boar.

It was more than ten times the size of an ordinary wild boar, at least two stories tall, with limbs as thick as tree stumps, its hooves leaving deep indentations with every step. Most terrifying of all were its eyes... scarlet, like two burning embers, without pupils, only pure, violent killing intent.

At this moment, the giant beast is frantically crashing into the old building.

It retreated dozens of meters, then lowered its head, bared its fangs, and charged forward. Its massive body thundered forward like an out-of-control truck, each step shaking the ground.

"boom......!"

A loud crash shook the entire building. New cracks appeared in the walls, and several pieces of brick fell from the walls, hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

The behemoth was knocked back a few steps, shaking its head as if to dispel the dizziness from the impact. A few seconds later, it regained its balance, retreated again, and prepared for the next attack.

On the rooftop, several people were thrown about by the tremors; some nearly fell off the railing but were pulled back by others. Screams and cries echoed down from the rooftop, reverberating through the empty campus.

Su Mu did not move.

He stood far away on the roof of a three-story building... He had just circled around and climbed up from the other side. The view from this spot was excellent; he could see the entire old building and every charge of the giant beast.

He activated the detection function.

【Tusked Giant Boar (Lv7 Green)】

[Race: Mutant Beast]

【Strength: 158】

[Physical Fitness: 210]

[Agility: 45]

【Spirit: 8】

[Skills: Savage Charge (Straight-line dash, slams into the first target, dealing massive damage and knocking them back), Berserk (Enters Berserk state when health is below 30%, attack power increased by 50%, defense power decreased by 30%), Earthquake Stomp (Raises its forehooves and stomps the ground, dealing shock damage and slowing targets within a 10-meter radius)]

[Note: It has thick skin and immense strength. Its weak points are its eyes and abdomen, but ordinary weapons have difficulty penetrating its thick skin.]

Su Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the data.

Is it just a level 7 monster?

Su Mu stared at the giant boar with tusks, his mind racing.

If this is the level 8 monster mentioned in the intelligence report, then that would be better.

These people have drawn the monster's attention away, giving him the perfect opportunity to bypass them and quickly reach the golden treasure chest. He doesn't need to confront the boar head-on, nor does he need to save anyone.

This isn't because Su Mu is cold-blooded. It's because in this apocalyptic world, everyone is looking out for themselves.

His goal was the treasure chest, to quickly increase his strength, and to reach the retreat point forty kilometers away before nightfall. He didn't have the extra energy or time to care about the lives of others.

而且这只怪物210点体质。是他在体质上的两倍还多。力量158点，比他高25点。敏捷45，比他低24点。

This is a typical "tank" type monster... It has high health, high defense, and strong attack power, but it is slow and not agile in turning.

If it's a head-on confrontation, with his current attributes and skills, he could definitely win. But the problem is that fighting this monster would likely attract other, even stronger monsters.

What if it's a level 8 one? A normal level is fine, but if it's green or higher...

Although he had a silencing talisman, it was a consumable item, and each one used reduced the remaining supply. Moreover, the wild boar's charging distance was too far, covering dozens of meters with each charge, which could easily exceed the coverage area of ​​the silencing talisman. Once the commotion got out and attracted the level eight monster, he would be caught in a pincer attack.

However, Su Mu did not leave. It would be good if the commotion here attracted that level 8 monster.

In this way, he can see the monster and know its rank, because the unknown is always more dangerous. Knowing the rank of the monster will also allow him to deal with it.

Secondly, if these people were attracting his attention, he could easily bypass them. After all, his current position was excellent, at least fifty or sixty meters away from the building. Moreover, that was in front of him, while this was to his side or rear. He could observe his surroundings at any time without having to fight such a monster head-on.

However, just as he was thinking this...

At that moment, someone on the rooftop moved.

That was a girl.

She had been crouching in the middle of the crowd, her shoulders trembling slightly. But in the brief moment between the boar's latest attack and her moment of dizziness, she suddenly stood up.

Su Mu's gaze was drawn to her.

She was wearing a dark coat, bundled up tightly, with a hat covering half her face. But through the brim, one could see a delicate face with fair skin, wearing round-framed glasses, and bright eyes behind the lenses.

She walked to the edge of the rooftop, braced herself on the railing with both hands, and took a deep breath.

Then, something opened up behind her.

Transparent.

Like wings, yet not like wings... No feathers, no bones, only a thin, almost invisible membrane extending from her shoulder blades, trembling slightly in the air. Sunlight pierced through that membrane, refracting a faint rainbow of colors.

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

Flight capability?
