Cute Treasure watched as Gu Qijue departed. At this moment, a woman who wasn't exactly beautiful but was still quite pleasant to the eye stepped off the bus.
She approached Cute Treasure and curiously asked, "Cute Treasure, is that white-haired and blood-eyed man of the same kind as you?"
"Yes, a terrifying presence. I'm no match for him," Cute Treasure nodded seriously.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li asked in confusion, "Since he's of the same kind as you, why is there a human with him?"
Cute Treasure shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I won't become his enemy."
"Hmm! Since he's not hostile to us, there's no need to become enemies with him either."
Zhang Li nodded and then took out her phone to contact Chu Beixuan, asking him to come out with his team.
From the tall building nearby, Gu Qijue was watching them.
"Master, is that Cute Treasure... your kind?" Chu Mengxi asked softly, forcing herself to speak.
To be honest, she was really curious.
This figure, who previously committed violence at the school gate, was he a human or a mutated creature?
"Do I look like a monster to you?"
Gu Qijue gave her a sidelong glance and said, "I'm human like you, and we're even classmates!"
Ah, this...
Chu Mengxi was confused, her mind full of questions, but she didn't dare ask more.
Ding dong!
At this moment, Gu Qijue's phone pinged with a message.
Upon taking it out, he saw a message from Zhao Hu: "Master, things are bad. On the road, we encountered a mysterious mutant creature. Sister Bai Hu couldn't hold her ground and is almost reverting to her original form."
"A mysterious mutant creature?!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Qijue's gaze sharpened slightly. "Could it be that 'deceitful' mutant creatures have appeared so quickly?"
In the mutant apocalypse, without a doubt, the most terrifying beings are the deceitful mutant creatures.
These are species born after humans mutate, characterized by their bloodthirstiness, savagery, mysteriousness, and solitary hunting in the dark. Whether human or mutant, they are their prey.
In other words, they are deceitful mutant creatures that have transformed once more after mutation, each possessing Disaster Level strength.
Their favorite prey is humans, followed by mutant creatures.
Seeing this message, Gu Qijue turned to Chu Mengxi and said, "You and your father should head to Mu Qingxue's shelter first and scout out the situation there. Here's my WeChat."
After having her add him, Gu Qijue disappeared into the night at the fastest speed.
"What kind of monster could make him so anxious?"
Chu Mengxi hesitated for a while and then felt bitter, "Looks like I need to go back and apologize to Dad."
...
...
Jie jie jie——
On a street about ten kilometers away from the New God Group, not a single mutant creature dared approach within hundreds of meters.
From within this street, eerily sinister laughter echoed from all directions.
Zhao Hu, Deng Tian, Tang Huang, White Fox, Ji Shang, and others—a total of twenty-three Super Martial Artists—now only had fifteen left, standing back to back, clutching their weapons tightly, eyes filled with terror as they stared into the surrounding darkness.
"What kind of monster is it?! It appears and vanishes like a ghost, taking one of our brothers every time it strikes."
"Damn apocalypse, why did we all become Super Martial Artists, capable of summoning Super Martial Armor, yet still so powerless?"
"Damn, I don't want to die!"
The Super Martial Artists from school, although clad in Super Martial Armor, were visibly terrified, their hands trembling as they held their weapons, on the brink of collapse from fear.
"Look at you, you're all spineless, pull yourselves together. Does fear solve anything? It'll only get you killed faster."
Unable to stand the cowardly curses from the student Super Martial Artists, Zhao Hu loudly rebuked them.
"No need to blame them; the entity we're facing now, apart from Brother Black Dragon's level, makes everyone despair."
White Fox had reverted to her fox form, a body the size of a buffalo, covered in blood, and her breath was weak. She said, "For now, we can only pray that Brother Black Dragon arrives soon."
The monster in the dark gave her an extremely sinister feeling.
White Fox felt that it seemed to have spared her; otherwise, she might have already died.
Jie jie——
Swish!
Ah!!!
Suddenly, as sinister laughter accompanied by a shadow attack approached, a student Super Martial Artist was instantly grabbed by the shadow and disappeared into the darkness.
"Ah! No, don't eat me! Ahhhhh——"
Then, from that patch of darkness, a series of gut-wrenching, chilling screams echoed.
The screams made those present shiver as if they had witnessed some unparalleled terror.
"Ah! I don't care anymore, I'm leaving."
Finally, a student unable to bear the torment shouted and broke away from the group, running for it.
Ah!!
However, just as he entered the darkness, a heart-rending scream rang out.
Jie jie jie——
Accompanying the scream was a series of wicked, sinister laughter.
"Beast! It wants to consume us in boundless terror..."
Listening to the sinister laughter echoing around them, Zhao Hu felt a chill, his courage faltering, wondering if he'd be next.
"Brother Black Dragon, why aren't you here yet?"
Unaware of Gu Qijue's real name, Ji Shang was trembling like White Fox, referring to Gu Qijue as Brother Black Dragon.
"The New God Group is over ten kilometers from here. At the master's speed, it should be soon."
Tang Huang said, his teeth chattering, "Let's just hope that even when the master arrives, he won't be a match for the monster in the dark."
Upon hearing this, everyone's morale sank further.
Swish!
Ah!!
A moment later, another shadow flashed, and one of the Super Martial Artists among them was seized.
They couldn't even see the shape of the shadow.
In the following three to four minutes, four more Super Martial Artists were caught by the shadow.
There were a total of twelve people left now from the initial twenty-three who had arrived with White Fox.
"What do we do, what do we do?!"
"I don't want to die, someone save me!!"
Some had already broken down, sobbing, collapsing to the ground, unable even to maintain their Super Martial Armor, with an unknown liquid trickling down their pants.
"This..."
Zhao Hu and the others were also in despair, their bodies involuntarily shivering.
Ang! Roar——
But just then, from afar on the street, a ferocious dragon roar swept over like thunder.
With a gust of wild wind, Gu Qijue finally arrived, his blood-red eyes fixed on a certain patch of darkness.
Following his gaze, a pair of scarlet eyes illuminated the darkness.
"Boss!"
Seeing this, Zhao Hu and the others inexplicably felt a sense of security, with their fear ebbing away like the tide.
In their eyes, as long as Gu Qijue was here, everything would be fine.
