As night fell, the red fog outside became thicker, and the entire community was enveloped in darkness and danger. Lin Chen led the small team of neighbors, quietly walked out of the building, and headed towards the underground garage.
Lin Chen walked at the front of the team, holding the steel pipe tightly in his hand, and kept the attribute panel in a state of real-time scanning. Every step he took was very careful, observing the surrounding environment alertly, listening to the sounds around him, and guarding against possible sudden attacks of mutated beasts.
The neighbors followed closely behind him, walking lightly, not daring to make a sound. The child in the woman's arms was very sensible, lying quietly in his mother's arms, not crying or making trouble. The entire team moved forward silently in the thick red fog, only the sound of everyone's light footsteps could be heard.
Along the way, Lin Chen encountered several small mutated animals, but they were not powerful. With his strengthened physique and Basic Combat Mastery skill, he quickly solved them quietly without attracting more dangerous beasts.
After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of the underground garage. The entrance was closed, but it was not locked. Lin Chen signaled everyone to stop, then stepped forward carefully, pushed the entrance door open a crack, and used the attribute panel to scan the inside of the garage.
The scan result showed that there were no mutated beasts inside the garage for the time being, the environment was safe, and the red fog was much thinner than outside. Lin Chen was relieved, gently pushed the door open completely, and let everyone enter the garage quickly.
Everyone filed into the underground garage, and the moment they stepped in, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The air inside was fresh, the walls were solid, and there were no fierce roars of beasts. It was indeed a safe haven.
Lin Chen asked everyone to stay quiet and searched the garage carefully. Finally, they found a corner with a closed iron door. The space inside was spacious, clean, and could accommodate all of them. It was the safest place in the entire garage.
Everyone walked into this small space, sat down slowly, and finally showed a relaxed expression on their tense faces for a long time. This was the first time they had felt real safety since the disaster came.
Lin Chen stood at the iron door, looking out at the dark red fog outside, his eyes firm. This underground garage was only a temporary safe haven, and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future. But he was not afraid. He would continue to become stronger, protect his family and neighbors, and lead everyone to survive firmly in this apocalyptic world where spiritual energy revived and ferocious beasts were rampant.
