In the afternoon, the originally calm red fog outside suddenly began to thicken rapidly, as if being driven by an invisible force. The sky turned from dark red to a deep blood red, and the visibility was almost reduced to zero. The air became more oppressive, and a faint, strange aura spread around, making people feel flustered.
Lin Chen stood by the window, looking at the terrifying scene outside, his brows furrowed tightly. He had a strong premonition that this abnormal change of the red fog was not a good sign, and it was very likely to bring new crises and more powerful mutated beasts.
He was not wrong. Soon, the roars of mutated beasts came from outside the community one after another, more frequent and fiercer than before. The sounds were mixed with the sounds of buildings collapsing and glass shattering, which was creepy. It was obvious that more mutated beasts had been attracted by the red fog and were wandering around the community, looking for prey.
His parents sat on the sofa, their faces full of worry, looking at Lin Chen helplessly. They could only rely on their son to protect them in this dangerous situation.
Lin Chen quickly calmed down, walked back to the room, and checked his attribute panel again. His current stats were stable: Physique 12, Spirit 10, and the Basic Combat Mastery skill had become more proficient after a morning of practice. He was stronger than before, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly in the face of the upcoming unknown dangers.
He walked to his parents and comforted them softly: "Don't worry, I'm here. I will protect you." Then he told them that the current residence was no longer safe. With the thickening of the red fog and the increase of mutated beasts, the building might be attacked at any time. They had to find a safer place to stay as soon as possible.
His parents nodded in agreement. They also knew that staying in the apartment was not a long-term solution. The doors and windows were fragile and could not resist the attack of powerful mutated beasts at all.
Lin Chen began to think about possible safe places in the community. The underground garage suddenly came to his mind. It was located underground, with a closed environment and solid walls, which could effectively block the attack of mutated beasts. Moreover, the red fog was thinner there, making it a temporary safe haven.
He decided to move to the underground garage. But he also knew that he couldn't act alone. There were still some surviving neighbors in the building. It was safer to act together with more people, and everyone could take care of each other. So he began to prepare to inform the neighbors of his plan and gather everyone to move together.
