29: Chapter 29 The Apocalypse Outdoors!

The three of them quickly went downstairs.

They reached the first floor.

Lin Yuan carefully opened the electronic glass door of the hallway.

Outside, it was a vast expanse of white.

Snow was still falling.

But it was no longer as heavy as before.

The entire world was covered in ice and snow.

The streets were piled high with snow.

It was at least half a meter deep.

There wasn't a single corpse to be found; they had likely been divided up by evolved animals and plants.

The exterior walls of the buildings were covered in frost.

Everywhere was a scene of deathly silence.

There were no human voices.

There were no vehicle sounds.

Only the sound of the wind and snow howling remained.

Lin Yuan walked in the lead.

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue followed closely behind him.

They looked at the scene before them.

A great fear welled up in their hearts.

Was this still the world they were familiar with?

Was this ruin really Jiangcheng, which had been bustling and lively just half a month ago?

"Don't look too much."

Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Follow me closely."

The sisters nodded.

They gripped the hem of Lin Yuan's clothes tightly.

Afraid of getting separated.

The three of them struggled to move forward through the snow.

Although they had E-grade mineral water to maintain their stamina.

The snow was too deep.

Every step they took consumed a great deal of energy.

Lin Yuan's constitution was 258.1.

So he walked quite easily.

But the sisters were different.

Ye Qingyue's constitution was 15, and Ye Qingxue's constitution was 9.2.

They found walking very strenuous.

Fortunately, they had all taken the antidote in advance, otherwise, it would have been impossible to take a single step.

Lin Yuan was also glad for his own prudence.

Less than a kilometer later.

Both of them were already panting.

"Let's take a break."

Lin Yuan said.

He led the sisters to hide in the ruins of a building.

Ye Qingyue leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

"Brother Lin Yuan... I'm so tired..."

She whispered.

Lin Yuan took out two bottles of E-grade water from the system space.

"Drink."

The sisters took the water and drank it quickly.

A familiar warm current flooded their bodies.

Their stamina recovered a little.

"Can you still walk?"

Lin Yuan asked.

Ye Qingyue nodded.

"Yeah... I can..."

Just then—

"Rustle, rustle, rustle—"

A strange sound.

Came from outside the ruins.

Lin Yuan instantly became alert.

He made a "quiet" gesture.

Then, he carefully walked to the edge of the ruins.

Looking through a broken window, he peered outside.

The next second.

His pupils constricted sharply.

In the snow.

A giant dog?

No, that was not an ordinary dog.

That was an evolved creature!

That "dog" was at least a meter and a half tall.

Its fur had turned a dark black color.

Sharp fangs were exposed in its mouth.

Its eyes were an eerie blood-red.

It was sniffing something in the snow.

It seemed... to be looking for prey.

Lin Yuan held his breath.

Slowly backing away.

But the evolved creature suddenly turned its head.

It looked toward the ruins where Lin Yuan was.

It had discovered them!

"Awoooo—!!"

A roar!

The evolved creature rushed over violently!

Its speed was astonishingly fast!

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue were pale with fright.

"Lin... Lin Yuan..."

Ye Qingxue said, trembling.

But Lin Yuan was very calm.

He stood his ground and assumed a defensive stance.

Watching the evolved creature charge over.

Getting closer and closer.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Three meters.

One meter.

Just as the evolved creature lunged in front of him—

"Bang!!!"

Lin Yuan threw a punch.

A simple and direct punch.

Without any flair.

But this punch contained terrifying power.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones shattering.

The evolved creature's head exploded instantly.

Blood and brains splattered everywhere.

Its massive corpse fell limply to the ground.

The whole process.

Took less than a second.

Lin Yuan retracted his fist.

Looking at the corpse on the ground.

"Let's go."

He said calmly.

"It's not safe here anymore."

"The smell of blood will attract more creatures."

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue looked at everything before them blankly.

What had they just seen?

Lin Yuan had killed that terrifying evolved creature with a single punch again?

Adoration shone in Ye Qingyue's eyes.

"Brother Lin Yuan... so amazing..."

She whispered.

And a great sense of security welled up in Ye Qingxue's heart.

Following such a powerful man, they could truly survive.

The three continued moving forward.

They walked another kilometer.

Just then.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Lin Yuan looked up.

Then his pupils constricted sharply.

"Quick! Hide!"

He growled lowly.

Grabbing the sisters, he rushed into the nearby building ruins.

Hiding in the shadows.

Not moving a muscle.

"Lin... Lin Yuan... what happened..."

Ye Qingxue asked in a low voice.

Lin Yuan did not answer.

He just pointed his finger at the sky.

The sisters looked up.

Then they froze.

In the sky.

A giant eagle.

No, that was not an ordinary eagle.

That was a terrifying figure that blotted out the sky.

The evolved eagle had a wingspan of at least twenty meters.

Its entire body was covered in pitch-black feathers that shimmered with a metallic luster.

Its claws were thick and sharp, as if forged from steel.

It was circling in the sky.

Exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

And in its claws, it was clutching a person.

To be precise, it was a mutilated corpse.

That person was still struggling.

Emitting shrill screams.

"Help... help me... help me—!!"

The sound was heartbreaking.

But soon—

"Crack!"

The evolved eagle's claws squeezed hard.

That person instantly fell silent.

Blood spilled from the sky.

Falling onto the snow.

Staining a patch red.

The evolved eagle let out a shrill cry.

Then, carrying its prey, it flew into the distance.

The whole process.

Took less than ten seconds.

In the ruins.

It was deathly silent.

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue were trembling all over.

They covered their mouths.

Afraid to make any sound.

The scene just now was too terrifying.

That person had just been eaten like that.

Ye Qingyue could not stop her tears from flowing.

"Brother Lin Yuan..."

She cried softly.

"I... I'm so scared..."

Lin Yuan hugged her.

"Don't be afraid."

He said calmly.

"With me here, you won't be in any danger."

Ye Qingxue was also trembling.

But she looked at Lin Yuan.

Looking at his decisive decision to hide just now.

Looking at his calm expression now.

An indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

Lin Yuan was not only powerful but also cautious.

He knew what could be fought.

And what could not be fought.

He would not be impulsive.

He would not be reckless.

Such a man was the one who could truly survive in the Apocalypse.

Ye Qingxue bit her lip.

She suddenly realized that her perception of Lin Yuan had changed again.

From the initial hatred, to dependence now? Trust? Or like?

She was not sure.

But she knew that she could no longer leave this man.
