"Ya Ming, do you think we won’t die here today... That big guy has been lurking outside for a long ti. I, I think it saw just now. Do you think it will...?"
Inside the dormitory, two survivors were huddled in a corner speaking in low voices.
Their position allowed them to see a glimpse of the outside through a skylight in the park’s do in the distance.
The survivor who just spoke had witnessed the red eye through that window.
"No way... that’s definitely a coincidence. We’re so small, it passed overhead, it shouldn’t have noticed us. As long as we hide well, there won’t be any problems..."
Her companion reassured her softly.
"Sigh... I really don’t know where this thing ca from. I think our resident got injured while fighting it before... Damn it, I thought it was safe here. I didn’t expect to encounter sothing like this after just a few days..."
"Yeah, I risked my life to run over here from 3374, and now the overpass is gone, can’t go back, and there’s a terrifying monster here too. I’m really so unlucky..."
The person looked crestfallen with a look of deep regret.
"Hey, wait, don’t you find it a bit strange?"
The female survivor suddenly said.
"What is it?"
The companion looked perplexed.
The woman pointed to her long ears and whispered:
"Listen, that sound is gone..."
The man beside her was stunned for a mont, then his ears twitched slightly, and he too showed a surprised expression.
"Right! It’s really gone! Lili, do you think it might have left...?"
Their eyes t, and a glimr of hope sparked in their hearts.
The giant eyeball monster outside, when floating, always emitted a "buzzing" humming sound.
Coupled with the Guleng people’s keen hearing, it was very easy to discern in such a quiet environnt.
"Maybe it really has..."
The woman also showed a hopeful expression, as if seeing a glimr of life in a desperate situation.
Regarding the monster’s destructive power, no one present was unaware.
When Yang Yangyang fought it, they witnessed everything through that skylight.
If soone accidentally missed that battle, they could simply look at the nearby destroyed buildings to understand.
The creature’s strength was undoubtedly enough to easily destroy the city they were in.
Thus, the two held their breath in the deathly silence, waiting for a mont.
Finally, the man nad Ya Ming couldn’t hold back any longer.
He tiptoed to the window of the dormitory, cautiously sticking his head out to see the scene outside the do.
However, as his line of sight slowly moved to the skylight, a terrifying scene ca into view.
Outside the skylight, a huge scarlet eyeball was staring fixedly at his location.
Their eyes t, and Ya Ming seed to see endless greed and longing in the monster’s eye.
"Ah!!!"
He scread in terror, hastily retracting his head, and sat down on the ground, face pale.
"Ya, Ya Ming... What’s wrong...?"
The female survivor next to him was startled by his expression, and her heart, which had just relaxed a little, jumped back into her throat.
Other survivors in the dorm also turned their anxious eyes towards him.
Everyone wanted to ask what happened but feared being overheard by the monster, plunging the room into eerie silence once more.
"Huff~ huff~ huff~ It’s, it’s still there... It’s still watching us!"
Ya Ming gasped for air, struggling to keep his voice down as he spoke to the others.
"It saw , I’m sure it saw ! No, we can’t stay here any longer! It will kill us all!"
As he spoke, he began to struggle, trying to stand up and flee.
But panic had overwheld him, his legs were weak and unresponsive, and he struggled for a long ti without managing to get up.
"Crash!"
Outside, the sound of glass shattering ca from the direction of the do.
Everyone shuddered, imagining the possibilities and turning ashen with fear.
"The skylight... It’s broken the skylight... It’s coming in!!"
Soone shouted, the voice hoarse and deep, striking everyone’s heart directly.
At that mont, no one could sit still any longer.
Several people stood up, rushed to the window, and tried to see what was happening outside.
The next mont, the sound of multiple gasps filled the dormitory.
Everyone was horrified to discover that dozens of black tentacles were extending through the skylight outside, silently reaching into the dormitory zone.
"Quick! Hide!"
Soone whispered urgently.
And they saw him dart under a bed, curling up in the corner trembling.
The others quickly ca to their senses too.
They scrambled to crawl under the beds, so opened cabinets and other furniture, almost flying into hiding.
As they moved, the tentacles outside ca closer.
So with a good angle could see the situation through a corner of the window, breaking into a cold sweat.
The staff dormitory was large, accommodating dozens of survivors.
However, in front of the densely packed tentacles, they seed so fragile.
Countless black tentacles slithered outside like vipers, searching for their prey, so had already opened the doors and windows, sneaking inside.
"Ah!!!"
A scream shattered the eerie atmosphere, and Lili beca the first to be spotted.
She was hiding near the door, and as soon as the tentacles opened it, they found her.
"Help ! No!!"
Lili’s screams echoed through the small room.
The tentacle, unlike the one that attacked Yang Yangyang with a light ray, grabbed her by the ankle, dragging her out of the room.
Although Lili scrambled to grab everything around her, how could her strength possibly match that of a forty-ter giant monster?
In just a breath’s ti, she was dragged out the door.
"You bastard! Let her go!"
Ya Ming finally erupted.
Without hesitation, he rushed out from where he was hiding, frantically tugging at the tentacle.
"Buzz!"
The tentacle seed impatient, its tip glowing purple, and an energy ray shot out, piercing through his chest in an instant.
"Ugh..."
Clutching his wound, Ya Ming collapsed, all strength drained from his body, unable to rise, watching helplessly as the girl he had feelings for was pulled towards the skylight outside.
"Ya Ming! Ya Ming! Sob sob sob..."
Lili’s hoarse cries echoed above the park.
anwhile, several other figures were also dragged from their hiding places, pulled toward the monster outside.
Witnessing all this, Ya Ming was filled with despair.
At that mont, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
He rembered visiting this amusent park with his parents when he was little...
Growing up, playing virtual reality gas alone at the entertainnt center...
His parents’ argunts, the boss’s expressions, the awkward monts on blind dates...
Then, he saw the world turn dark red, terrifying monsters, and relatives dying miserably in front of him...
Scenes of the past flickered like a slideshow before his eyes.
Ya Ming rembered hearing so scholars say that one’s life flashes before their eyes before death.
He knew he was close to dying.
Looking at the world dyed red, he suddenly felt a sense of relief for so reason.
This damned apocalypse was finally coming to an end, at least he wouldn’t have to endure the tornt day after day...
Tears slid from the corners of his eyes, and the world seed to blur.
Ya Ming gazed upon the nurous illusions before him, as if seeing countless purple beams of light filling the sky, wonderfully beautiful.
