202: Weak, so weak!

At the foot of the mountainside.

The surroundings were pitch black under the night sky; not a single ray of light could be seen. Even the highway didn't have any streetlights installed.

Fang Bai could only keep the vehicle running, using the headlights for illumination.

They had brought plenty of dry rations, though most of them were snacks.

"Replenish your energy."

Fang Bai ate a chicken leg while his gaze swept over the mother and daughter.

At this moment, their complexions were slightly pale. After getting carsick and vomiting several times, they had no appetite at all. However, they were so hungry they lacked strength, so they could only endure the discomfort and stuff food into their mouths.

"Can't we stay here overnight?"

Yumi asked.

Fang Bai said indifferently, "Not even a little. It's not safe here. You wouldn't want to be snatched away by some unknown creature in the middle of your sleep, would you?"

Yumi shivered for no apparent reason.

"Surely not?"

In their impression as ordinary people, those demon beasts were all blocked behind the defense lines; the interior was safe.

Fang Bai didn't explain. Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he said, "You'll find out in a moment... Get in the car first."

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, then decisively got into the car.

Before they had set out, Fang Bai had already stated clearly: along the way, his word was law and must not be disobeyed!

After all, since he was bringing two burdens along, Fang Bai had to be cautious.

After the mother and daughter were in the car, Fang Bai remained sitting on the ground gnawing on his chicken leg, a demon crystal held in his other hand.

The surroundings were deathly silent; there wasn't even the sound of insects. It was eerily quiet.

At that moment, a gust of wind swept through the darkness!

Fang Bai looked up and said, "Die!"

Pfft!

A muffled sound echoed in the darkness, and then a dark shadow was tossed out!

The mother and daughter in the car were startled by this scene. They widened their eyes, straining to see the dark shadow clearly, only to find it was actually a rabbit!

A rabbit?

"Wait! How can there be a rabbit this big?!"

Yumi's small face immediately became serious.

The dead rabbit's body was at least five times larger than a normal rabbit, and its fur was pitch black!

They were both astonished. Because they were inside the car, they hadn't heard Fang Bai's voice, nor had they seen him move, yet that demon beast had died. Wasn't this too miraculous?

Fang Bai's gaze fell on the rabbit's corpse, his expression calm.

A First-tier Demon Beast—not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

Just then, another movement came from the darkness. This time, there was also a lot of irritating noise coming from all directions!

The corners of Fang Bai's mouth curled slightly. "So, they're treating us as a midnight snack, are they?"

Under the glow of the car headlights, he lightly snapped his fingers!

Snap!

Explosive pops suddenly rang out all around. Every sound represented the death of a demon beast!

[Ding! Killed First-tier Demon Beast X17! Obtained a trace amount of Alien Energy!]

The long-awaited system notification sounded, and Fang Bai clearly felt a tiny bit more energy within his body.

"Awoo!"

The fall of the rabbit demon pack and the thick scent of blood drew in a higher-level predator!

A pack of Mutated Wolf Demons!

Pairs of oily green eyes lit up in the darkness. Hundreds of eyes emitted an eerie, terrifying glow!

The mother and daughter in the car felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar! Their faces were filled with terror!

They had never even seen a demon beast before; when had they ever encountered such a scene?

Had they been the ones standing outside the car, their legs would likely have gone weak with fear.

Was the world outside actually this dangerous?

"Brother Bai..."

Yumi's small face was full of worry.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

A gust of gale swept past. Directly in front of the car headlights, a massive creature slowly approached, appearing in their field of vision.

It was three meters tall and five meters long, with an extremely powerful build. It was the King of the wolf pack!

"A Third-Tier Demonic Beast?"

Fang Bai looked disappointed at the sight. "Weak, too weak!"

These demon beasts were too weak; he didn't even have the interest to kill them!

With a casual wave of his hand, a burst of Lightning Power rampaged through the night, illuminating the entire area within a hundred-meter radius!

Crackle!

Boom!

Under the indiscriminate attack, not a single demon beast survived!

The Wolf King was cleared out like a mere foot soldier!

After harvesting a wave of Alien Energy, Fang Bai lost interest in hunting demon beasts.

Having slaughtered two packs in a row, the entities in the darkness seemed to realize this human was not to be trifled with, and they didn't even dare to show their faces anymore.

Fang Bai fiercely tossed the leftover chicken leg into the darkness!

The chicken leg hit something unknown, providing Fang Bai with another small feedback of Alien Energy.

Then, he calmly turned around and got into the car.

"So strong!"

Yumi looked at Fang Bai with sparkling eyes, her gaze filled with admiration.

Clear Leaf also looked at him with a strange light in her eyes.

Women naturally admire the strong. Fang Bai's performance was more than a hundred times stronger than her former husband's.

This kind of person is a real man!

Fang Bai's expression was calm as he said, "The number of demon beasts in this area is abnormally high. Have The Authorities made no move?"

The mother and daughter could not answer his question.

Fang Bai started the car and began their journey.

The headlights pushed forward, and the endless darkness returned behind them... Fang Bai didn't intend to travel all night; once they left the large mountain, they reached a relatively wide highway.

There were still no other vehicles on the highway; it seemed no one was willing to go out at night.

"There's a bus ahead."

Yumi suddenly spoke up.

A bus was parked by the side of the road ahead.

Fang Bai stopped the car and went to check the bus. He found no one inside, but there were mottled bloodstains.

Clearly, this vehicle had been attacked by demon beasts.

Fang Bai checked the fuel tank and found it was actually half full—a pleasant surprise!

He transferred the fuel from the bus to his own car, then set off again.

A day later, Fang Bai and the others passed through a small town.

This was also an abandoned town, but there were actually living people here.

Men and women who looked like vagrants wandered the streets, rummaging through everything. Their faces were gaunt, clearly starved to the extreme.

As Fang Bai's car arrived, it instantly drew their attention. The next moment, these vagrants approached the car like zombies.

"This place used to be called Sakurabayashi Town; it was a scenic area. I didn't expect it to turn into this."

Clear Leaf said with a complicated expression.

Fang Bai didn't feel much. In this era, who still cared about scenic areas? Even the capital had fallen!

He instructed the mother and daughter to stay in the car while he got out.

"Damn, this scene makes me think I'm in Resident Evil!"

One of the disheveled men rushed toward Fang Bai, muttering something incessantly.

Fang Bai couldn't understand the gibberish; he assumed the man thought he had food on him.

"Moshi moshi... Ore wa... Bang!"

Before the man could get close, Fang Bai kicked him over twenty meters away!

"What are you barking about?"

Fang Bai spoke with extreme arrogance, and his ferocity instantly made everyone present freeze in their tracks!
