I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

The residents of the community suddenly became fearful.

People who used to visit each other in the same building are now all too afraid to move around.

They even moved in a sofa and coffee table, blocking the doorway.

People are calling and even starting to ask for help online.

But all the requests for help went unanswered.

In this situation, apart from those who have awakened, ordinary people are simply unable to go out.

Unlike the tense atmosphere among these homeowners, Wang Wei continued to leisurely enjoy the attentive service from Lin Nan and Chu Lian.

They can only feel a little sense of security with Wang Wei now.

Therefore, the two of them worked even harder.

After the three finished lunch, Wang Wei sat on the sofa with soft music playing on his phone, watching Chu Lian dance in the living room with great interest.

If Chu Lian hadn't mentioned it herself, Wang Wei would have forgotten that she majored in ethnic dance in college.

Lin Nan knelt beside Wang Wei and fed him the cut fruit little by little.

Unfortunately, this situation did not last long, as a heart-wrenching scream interrupted the three of them.

Lin Nan's hand trembled, and the fruit almost fell to the ground.

Chu Lian stopped dancing and stood there, bewildered and stunned.

Wang Wei frowned slightly, got up and walked to the French windows.

The scream came from Building 2.

But then,

The agonizing screams began to echo continuously.

The residents' group chat is in chaos again.

"What's going on with Building 2?"

"Does anyone know what's going on? Please tell us!"

"Yes, at this time we must unite and not fall into internal strife."

"..."

Something's not right.

Wang Wei stared at the building across the street, but the wind and snow blocked his view.

Building No. 2 is directly opposite Building No. 1 where Wang Wei is located, so this time the scream was particularly clear.

If the conflict was between homeowners over supplies, it would be impossible for it to erupt in two buildings in such a short period of time.

"Could it be that another awakened one has appeared..." Wang Wei murmured.

If that's the case, then the people in Building 2 are probably doomed.

Not all awakened beings want to be saviors like Dewey.

Many more people are like the "God Alliance"—they see themselves as evolved beings, while ordinary people are nothing more than ants.

Just a few minutes later, the screams from Building 2 stopped abruptly.

"Is...it's alright?" Lin Nan asked, her voice trembling.

Wang Wei nodded slightly.

However, there was one thing he didn't say: it wasn't that everything was alright, but rather that they were all dead.

However, just half an hour later, screams rang out again.

Judging from the distance of the sound, it should be Building 4.

The situation was similar to that of Building 2. After a few minutes, the screams also stopped abruptly.

The owners' group chat went from initial frantic flooding of messages to a deathly silence.

No one dared to speak again, and no one dared to step forward.

"Brother Wang, we won't get into trouble, will we?" Lin Nan asked cautiously.

"Probably not," Wang Wei said deliberately, "There are three of us."

Lin Nan was on the verge of tears upon hearing this.

She misses Qian Mengxun a little now.

Even when Qian Mengxun was around, she was still worried and anxious.

At least there was no threat of death.

Moreover, Qian Mengxun is an S-rank Awakened, so with her around, nothing will happen.

As for Wang Wei.....

Although Lin Nan didn't understand why Qian Mengxun was willing to call Wang Wei "master,"

But Wang Wei never made a move, and he seemed no different from an ordinary person to her.

Disturbed like this, Wang Wei lost interest and sat on the sofa to browse online information.

With a "savior goddess" like Qian Mengxun joining the Divine Alliance, wouldn't the Divine Alliance cause some commotion, given its usual practices?

Wang Wei searched for a long time but found no relevant information online.

Lin Nan and Chu Lian watched Wang Wei speechlessly from the side.

What time is it? You still have the mind to play on your phone.

Despite their complaints, the two women dared not utter a sound to disturb Wang Wei.

Until it got dark.

Just as the two women were about to lose their composure, Wang Wei suddenly put down his phone.

"Interesting, they actually came."

At this moment, two women were standing in the stairwell on each floor of Building 1.

The fourth floor, where Wang Wei was, was no exception.

The two women stood furtively for a moment, as if they had locked onto their target, and then knocked on the door of the room next to Wang Wei's.

"Knock knock knock".

"Knock knock knock".

Liu Yanni stood behind the door, holding her breath.

She's not stupid.

She had heard the screams clearly during the day, so who would dare to open the door now?

But the knocking on the door didn't stop.

She peered through the peephole—outside the door stood two women, looking haggard, their eyes pleading.

She hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.

"Hello, do you have any extra food?" one of the short-haired women asked pitifully. "I've been starving all day."

Seeing that the two seemed genuine, Liu Yanni softened and said, "Come in and sit down. I'll get you something to eat."

She turned and walked toward the kitchen.

But the moment she turned around, the pitiful look on the two women's faces vanished completely.

Instead, a morbid grotesque appearance has emerged.

Liu Yanni took out two packs of cookies and two bottles of water from the kitchen, a kind smile on her face: "That's all I have, you can go ahead—"

The words came to an abrupt halt.

The two women each held a gleaming dagger.

Liu Yanni stood frozen in place.

"Thanks, ma'am." The short-haired woman licked her lips. "Don't blame us, we were forced into it!"

The two exerted their strength suddenly, and the daggers stabbed down fiercely!

The blade stopped abruptly an inch from Liu Yanni's abdomen.

The two women's expressions instantly changed from ferocious to terrified.

They wanted to run, but their bodies seemed to be nailed to the spot, completely unresponsive.

"It's interesting that they dared to brave the heavy snow to enter Building 1." Wang Wei slowly walked in, his gaze falling on the two of them.

The two women had a layer of gray keratin on their skin, but they did not have any awakened superpowers.

Someone temporarily transferred supernatural abilities to them.

We were able to enter this building because of this layer of protection.

To be able to do that—the opponent must be at least S-rank!

"Don't kill us..."

"We were forced into it..."

The short-haired woman began to beg for mercy.

Liu Yanni finally snapped out of her fear of death. She rushed over and clung tightly to Wang Wei's arm, trembling all over.

Wang Wei gently patted her and looked at the two women: "Tell me, what happened?"

The short-haired woman spoke through tears.

The more she spoke, the more Liu Yanni trembled, and the tighter she clung to Wang Wei's arm.

According to the short-haired woman, almost everyone in the other buildings except for Building 1 has been killed.

Only thirty-odd young women remained, kept as playthings and tools by an awakened individual named Wang Qiang.

Those who were "somewhat attractive but not good enough" were forced to come to Building 1 to "find supplies"—in other words, to trick people into opening the door and then kill them on sight.

If they fail to complete the mission, they will die.

This was just a game that Wang Qiang used for amusement.

But at that moment,

The woman who had been silent all along suddenly raised her head and screamed hysterically at Wang Wei:

"You're an Awakened One too. You're so strong, why didn't you come out sooner?"

"You're right here in this building, can't you hear the screams outside?"

"If you had acted sooner, my husband wouldn't have died! My brother wouldn't have died!"

"Are you just going to stand by and watch?"

"Who do you think you are, an Awakened One! What's the difference between you and Wang Qiang?!"
