Excessive ferocity due to caution

Chapter 288 "The Bandits of the Chaotic City" - Li Xiuer's Severe Injuries

A sword that can kill a girl.

They killed thousands of plastic mannequins in the mall.

Zhao Yi slashed his way from the first floor to the fifth floor, and from the east gate all the way to the west gate.

His body was stained red with blood.

The trench coat fluttered in the wind, exuding a strong, pungent smell of blood.

Soon, the mall became empty.

Zhao Yi found the culprit behind the resurrection of these plastic mannequins in the underground parking garage at the very bottom of the mall.

—A huge tumor.

It clings to the ground, constantly extending its fine tentacles upwards towards the building.

After these fine, hair-like tentacles entered the plastic mannequin's body, the mannequin came to life...

The tumor was covered by a thin membrane and was constantly pulsating.

Like a heart.

Zhao Yi pulled out his gravity gun, ready to finish off the tumor with a single shot, when a voice came from inside.

"Don't kill me..."

"I'm a victim too!"

Zhao Yi squinted slightly and approached the tumor.

"victim?"

"How so?"

Sarcoma response:

"That woman made us do these things!"

"That female ghost overhead?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Why did she do that?

"We don't know either... The three city districts of J, K, and L are constantly being destroyed and reborn... It seems to be related to the Divine Tower."

As soon as the tumor finished speaking, Zhao Yi suddenly received a message from Su Qingyao.

Meng Fei and Li Xiuer have already arrived.

However, Lee Soo-ah's condition is rather bad.

Zhao Yi turned and walked towards the exit of the underground parking garage.

The tumor behind him made a surprised sound:

"You're not going to kill me?"

Zhao Yi slapped his head, turned around and laughed:

"I almost forgot."

"Thank you for reminding me."

After saying that, he fired several shots directly at the tumor.

With the added magical damage from a hundred times the gravity, the tumor exploded into a pile of dust...

...

We returned to the entrance of the safe house passage.

The ghosts around us are increasing in number and growing stronger...

When Zhao Yi transmigrated, he was already struggling.

Su Qingyao was still guarding the entrance to the passage.

Her fingernails were blood red, and her eyes shone with a blood-red light, her aura of a near-demon reaching its peak.

She was injured.

The ground nearby was littered with corpses.

Besides ghosts, there were also many human corpses.

The human corpses here include not only citizens of J City, but also other players like Zhao Yi.

Without a doubt, the injuries on Su Qingyao's body were inflicted by them.

Where are they?

"I've already sent them back to the safe house."

When Su Qingyao saw Zhao Yi return, she immediately composed herself.

"Let's go back too..."

Zhao Yi glanced at the ghostly creature rushing towards them from not far away and said this.

"A monster of this caliber... let alone ordinary citizens, even other players would have a hard time dealing with it."

"Moreover... most players haven't even reached the City of Doomsday yet."

Zhao Yi didn't consider himself to be the fastest player to arrive here.

After all, some players chose a difficulty level that was much easier than his.

This means that their path, or the events they experience, will be less and easier than yours.

But that's a minority.

You can tell from the injuries on Su Qingyao's body.

If it were many players at level 20 or so, Su Qingyao wouldn't have been able to handle it so easily.

Back in the safe house, Zhao Yi noticed that Li Xiuer's legs were wrapped in a thick layer of clothing.

The outer layer was soaked with blood.

Her legs had been cut off.

There was also a deep wound on his waist.

Li Xiuer's face was pale, and her forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

Nan Jia was beside her, frantically pressing acupoints to stop the bleeding for Li Xiuer.

Zhao Yi's Evil Eyes are activated.

I glanced at Li Xiuer.

Not life threatening.

However, without legs, mobility is greatly limited, and if danger is encountered, it may become a burden to the team.

Even if Nan Jia, that bald man, were asked to die for Li Xiuer right now, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"Is there any way to make legs grow back?"

Zhao Yi asked casually.

Everyone present shook their heads.

After helping Li Xiuer stop the bleeding, Nan Jia looked anxious, but his strong maternal instincts still made him turn around and ask:

"Benefactor Zhao, what's the situation outside?"

"So much time has passed, and not a single other survivor has come in..."

Zhao Yi replied:

"First, there are other safe houses in the city, not just this one."

"Secondly, the situation outside is very bad."

"Things have completely spiraled out of our control."

"The most crucial thing right now... is to avoid the final catastrophe in J City, and then quickly head to K City!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Jia slumped to the side of the bed, her face deathly pale.

"So... does that mean a lot of people are going to die in J City?"

Zhao Yi patted him on the shoulder, his tone steady.

"Our capabilities are limited... we'll save as many as we can."

"If there's truly nothing that can be done to save them, then we can only leave it to fate!"

"Also... Miss Xiu is currently unable to move around easily, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to carry her on your back as we continue."

Li Xiuer murmured, her chapped lips barely moving, her eyes showing little fear.

"Why don't you... go ahead?"

"I'll stay here and wait until the catastrophe is over..."

The disheveled Meng Fei glanced at the girl and said indifferently:

"The catastrophe will end."

"But you won't live to see that day."

"This safe house... can only last for eighteen hours."

"Before the darkest hour arrives in J City, we will be given a breather. At that time, the ghosts will begin to worship the sky."

"This is the best time for us to leave J City."

Li Xiuer bit her lip lightly, her little face stubborn.

"Then I definitely can't be with you!"

"If we encounter any danger on the way, wouldn't we become a burden to you?"

Nan Jia, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head, her gaze resolute:

"Miss Xiu... I will never abandon you!"

"If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation!"

"You can't walk anymore, I can carry you for the rest of the way!"

Li Xiuer couldn't bear Nan Jia's intense gaze and turned her head away, saying:

"Carry me on your back?"

"With your small frame, where can you carry me?"

Nan Jia said earnestly:

"Carry me until I die."

Li Xiuer was taken aback.

She looked at the bald boy's serious expression and avoided eye contact.

"you……"

Before she could finish speaking, a piercing howl suddenly came from the doorway of the safe house:

"Help...open the door quickly..."

"Please...open the door..."

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound, and they saw a person covered in blood running towards the safe house, followed by a large group of ghosts!

Nan Jia's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:

"There are still...living people!!"

He was about to rush to the door of the safe house to open it for the other party when he heard Zhao Yi shout:

"Are you trying to kill everyone?!"

Nan Jia abruptly stopped, looking at Zhao Yi in shock:

"Benefactor Zhao... what are you saying?"

Zhao Yi's gaze was sharp:

"The outside world has completely fallen..."

"There are ghosts and monsters everywhere; there's no way an ordinary person could make it this far alive!"

"That's obviously a ghost in disguise!"

Nan Jia bit her lip tightly, turned around to look at the blood-soaked man knocking on the door, her expression extremely conflicted:

"But what if... he's not a ghost?"
