123: Chapter 123 The Devastation of Da Dong City

Thunderstorm watched those Soldiers groaning in pain, and a few whose wounds had already festered and turned black, emitting a faint stench of decay, his brow furrowed tightly.

He knew clearly that in this environment, without medicine, the survival rate of these wounded was minimal.

He took a deep breath and turned to Song Yang.

"Brother Song, I know you are not an ordinary person. Do you have any way to help them? Even if it's just to alleviate their pain, that would be enough."

He knew this request might be asking too much; after all, Song Yang was not a god.

Song Yang did not say anything, only waving his palm gently.

The next moment, under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, crate after crate of supplies appeared out of thin air on the relatively open ground of the cave!

On the neatly stacked crates, clear labels were printed:

"Medical Alcohol", "Anti-inflammatory Drugs", "Bandages and Gauze", "Antibiotics"... and even several large crates of sealed canned meat!

The entire cave fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

That Captain's eyes were wide as saucers, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg, pointing at the supplies and then at Song Yang, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The rest of the Soldiers, every single one of them, were petrified on the spot.

They rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating from hunger, or perhaps witnessing a miracle on their deathbed.

Thunderstorm also had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He swallowed hard; the shock of Song Yang cutting a bullet with a blade earlier was far less impactful than this scene before his eyes!

Was this magic or some divine power?!

He considered himself knowledgeable, but what was happening before him completely exceeded his scope of understanding.

Could it be that Song Yang had an ability he didn't know about?

But it had been so long since the apocalypse, and he had never seen anyone with abilities.

Even the usually calm Cold Moon had eyes full of disbelief at this moment. She carefully examined the crates and then looked at Song Yang, her eyes complex.

Just how many more secrets was this man hiding?

"This... this... Brother Song Yang! This... this is all you..."

The Captain finally found his voice, incoherent with excitement, his eyes instantly turning red.

He hadn't never seen an Evolver, but this method of conjuring items out of thin air was simply unheard of!

Song Yang smiled faintly: "It's a small effort; saving people comes first."

"Yes, yes, yes! Save them! Quick! What are you standing there for! Bring the medicine over! Treat the severely wounded first!"

The Captain snapped back to his senses and shouted at his subordinates.

The Soldiers woke up as if from a dream, erupting into loud cheers. Several relatively healthy ones immediately rushed forward, scrambling to start moving the medicine and food.

The wounded, who had originally been on the brink of death, also saw the light of survival rekindled in their eyes.

Food! Medicine!

This was their hope for survival!

Thunderstorm leaned in close to Song Yang, his tone full of curiosity:

"Brother Song, tell me honestly, do you have special powers? This ability to conjure things out of thin air doesn't seem like something an Evolver could have."

Song Yang smiled mysteriously and patted Thunderstorm on the shoulder:

"That's a secret. For now, let's think about how to get out of here first."

Afterward, the group sat together and began exchanging information.

The Captain took a bite of meat and said through gritted teeth:

"According to intelligence sent back by the insider we planted next to Du Yaohua, that guy has now completely controlled the town outside.

Anyone attempting to leave through the cave entrance will be shot into a sieve!

His plan is very clear: he wants to trap all the factions in the cave and starve them to death!"

"That bastard Du Yaohua!"

Thunderstorm cursed, then looked at the Captain:

"What about the Director? He is incredibly powerful; why not ask the Director to come personally and deal with him directly!"

Mentioning the word "Director," the Captain's expression became extremely complex, and he sighed deeply. "Captain Thunderstorm, there is something you don't know: the Director cannot come."

"What do you mean?"

Thunderstorm's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague, ominous premonition.

The Captain's lips moved a few times as he explained: "The Director is sick, very sick, and simply cannot leave the Shelter."

"Sick?!"

Thunderstorm acted as if he had heard a huge joke. "What kind of joke is that! Evolvers are immune to all diseases; they don't even catch a cold. How could he be sick? Do you take me for a three-year-old?"

The Captain smiled bitterly, his eyes dimming:

"Captain Thunderstorm, I know this is hard to believe, but it is the truth. This matter is the highest secret of the Shelter; fewer than five people know about it."

"About half a month ago, someone discovered signs of mutant monster activity on the coastline east of Dahai City."

"To figure out the situation, the Director went to investigate personally. That trip lasted three days."

"When he returned..."

The Captain's voice trembled slightly. "Although he wasn't injured, his whole demeanor had become strange. Later we found out that he had seen a Black Dragon by the sea."

"A Black Dragon?!"

Thunderstorm gasped, his eyes wide. "Does a creature like a dragon really exist in this world?"

The Captain nodded firmly, his tone heavy:

"It's absolutely true. The Director said that the Black Dragon let out just one roar, and he felt as if his mind had been dealt a heavy blow.

Since then, his mental state has deteriorated day by day, his consciousness began to become chaotic, and he gradually lost the ability to maintain clear rationality.

To avoid harming others in the Shelter, he could only lock himself in the deepest isolation room of the Shelter, barely maintaining himself with special medicine."

The few people sitting together fell into a deathly silence.

How could they, as ordinary Evolvers, face such a terrifying existence that could cause a top-tier Evolver to suffer a mental breakdown with just one dragon roar?

Thunderstorm only felt his blood rushing; he never imagined that the truth of the matter would be like this.

No wonder Du Yaohua could swagger in with his people, openly seizing power, and no one could stop him.

"Cough... cough cough..."

The Captain suddenly started coughing, and it took a long time for him to recover. "The situation is even worse than you imagine."

Thunderstorm looked up sharply. "What could be worse than the Director having an accident?!"

The Captain shook his head bitterly. "Ever since the sun went out, the evolution speed of those mutant monsters has been getting faster day by day. Just a few days ago, the Dadong City Shelter, which is closest to us..."

"What happened to Dadong City?" Thunderstorm pressed.

"The Dadong City Shelter is gone."

"The underground Shelter was breached by a swarm of monsters, and the entire Shelter, over ten thousand lives, all died."

"What?!"

Thunderstorm stood up abruptly, his bell-like eyes staring at the Captain, his voice raised in shock. "The Dadong City Shelter was breached?! Over ten thousand people all dead?! How... how do you know?!"

Although the scale of the Dadong City Shelter was not as large as the Dahai City Shelter, it was still a medium-sized gathering place with decent defensive power. How could it just disappear like that?

The Captain's lips trembled, as if he saw that tragic scene again:

"Communications had long been cut off; it was a survivor who came from Dadong City and told us."

The atmosphere in the cave was even heavier than before.

Everyone was thinking about one question.

Does humanity really still have a way to survive?
