"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Relying on the solid iron door and holding the assault rifle in his hand, the young man's face was already extremely pale, but even so, he still forced himself to calm down and listened to the sound from the tunnel. Around him, several other fully armed companions were also serious at the moment. They held guns in their hands and looked around vigilantly.

"Beth, how is the Captain's situation?"

The young man asked in a low voice, while looking out carefully through the hole in the iron door. Not far behind him, a girl was trying to deal with the wound for a man covered in blood. However, the way the girl treated the wound was different from what ordinary people thought. She stretched out her hand and placed it on the man's bloody wound. Then she saw a faint green light illumination. The next moment, the originally bloodless wound gradually healed under the cover of this green light. This scene as if magic did not attract the attention of others at all, and after the girl took her hands back, her face turned pale a little.

"The captain's blood has stopped, but I have no better way. If I want to save him, I have to take him back to the town... Only there can be better treatment, and all I can do is this..."

Beth looked at the man in front of him with a sad face.

"I'm sorry, captain, it's all my fault. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't..."

"Haha, stop crying, stupid kid......"

Hearing the girl's crying, the man opened his eyes and smiled with difficulty. He raised his right hand and stroked the girl's little head.

"You are the only one in the town who awakens the authority of the healing field. As long as you are still alive, we will have a higher chance of survival. And if you die here, it's only a matter of time before we become a pile of rotten meat here... At least now, I'm still alive, right?"

"But, my authority is only one level..."

Speaking of this, Beth bit her lips unwillingly. She only has the lowest level of network authority and her healing ability is relatively weak. At present, being able to stop bleeding from the wound is already the limit within her authority.

Humans who survived after the "Catastrophe" have the same abilities as in the "system text". They found that there was an "network system" in their brains. Through this "network system", these people can communicate and trade information like on the Internet. In the world after the Cataclysm, telephone and sending devices have no meaning, because anyone who wants can stand directly in front of each other and add friends to each other. Next, even thousands of miles away, they can contact each other. It is as if they are not in a real world, but in a virtual network world.

Some of them will awaken the system permissions and obtain power similar to magic or superpowers in the novel. The girl in front of her is obviously one of these lucky ones.

"The authority will always be increased. Don't be anxious. You are still young, take your time. I only obtained the first-level authority at the age of 30, and now I am only promoted to the third level. You are less than 20 years old. As long as you can go back alive, you will definitely be able to reach the third level faster than me. So, don't cry... Let others see it, how bad the impact is..."

Although the man's joke was very clumsy, the girl nodded, then reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. At this moment, suddenly, the young man who was originally hiding in front of the door and looking out lowered his voice and spoke.

"Be careful! Something is not right!"

Hearing his words, everyone who was originally a little relaxed suddenly tensed up. They raised their weapons and looked around vigilantly. Even the crying girl just now picked up the pistol beside her and trained to aim and shoot. These are the imprints given to them by this era. In this era, survival or death is no longer just a philosophical proposition. Fighting is also a part of their lives.

"boom!!"

However, before everyone was ready, suddenly, with a loud bang, the heavy iron gate suddenly sank inward and then fell down with a loud bang. Before the young man hiding behind the iron gate could even make any reaction, he screamed and was pressed down by the falling iron gate. With a "pop", the flesh and blood under the heavy pressure suddenly sprayed and torn apart, smearing a shocking bright red on the ground.

"No----!!"

Looking at the scene in front of them, the others suddenly turned red. They raised the guns in their hands and pulled the trigger. With a series of gunfires, countless ammunition flew towards the door. Such firepower was enough to eliminate most of the invaders.

But unfortunately, not all.

"roar……………"

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and a huge, dark figure appeared in front of everyone. Its body was pitch black, and its two arms, almost as long as its body, grabbed the door frame. Its narrow and long head was deep into it, and its scarlet eyes emitted a strange light, staring at the prey in front of it. The sticky saliva dripped from the gaps in its sharp and hard teeth, emitting a disgusting fishy smell. The previous round of bombardment that seemed like a storm did not cause any damage to the monster in front of it. Its skin as hard as rubber was not even left with a trace of scar.

"Damn..."

Looking at the monster in front of them, everyone looked pale and didn't know what to do. Because what they were facing was the most terrifying monster in the world and their biggest enemy.

But now, they are helpless.

"roar……………"

Looking at the prey in front of him, the monster let out a low growl again. It opened its mouth, and its two scarlet eyes kept looking around, trying to find its prey. However, just as the monster was about to launch an attack, it suddenly seemed to notice something, and suddenly raised its head and looked back.

At the same time, Beth and others widened their eyes in surprise. Because at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound that shouldn't have appeared here.

That's the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps in the tunnel were very stable and slow, not like escaping or chasing, but like walking in the garden. But this made everyone more cautious. This sound should not appear here. This is the battlefield. They knew very well that outside, there were several sucking monsters wandering around here, and those monsters were almost the natural enemies of all life. The sucking monsters would not make such regular footsteps. Although they were monsters transformed from humans like zombies, they were far from each other. If zombies could be called living dead people walking, then sucking monsters were just monsters covered with human skin.

So, what's going on with the sound of footsteps outside?

The more unknown it is, the more terrifying it is. As the footsteps get closer, everyone's breathing begins to become rapid. People hold guns tightly in their hands and listen to the footsteps. For some reason, everyone felt a nearly suffocating fear, as if it was some kind of ominous omen. They had an inexplicable feeling, as if the owner of the footsteps was much more dangerous than the monsters in front of them.

"clatter………"

At this moment, suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped, and the next moment, a calm and gentle voice rang in everyone's ears without warning.

"So I'm hiding here..."

"roar!!!"

Just as this sound appeared, the monster that had already tightened his body suddenly roared, and then it turned around and pounced behind it without hesitation. But unfortunately, it was too late.

The monster's body was still flying in the air, but its head and neck had already split. The silver-white blade passed through the hard skin that could not even be penetrated by bullets without any stagnation, as if it was mechanically accurate to penetrate the skin, cut open the trachea, and cut off the spine. But this was not the end. On the contrary, the moment the blade broke away from the monster's body, it seemed to turn into a silver snake, circling quickly and entangled around the monster's huge body.

When the monster's body landed on the ground again, it was completely divided. It was like a cattle and sheep used to slaughter. Its body, limbs, and everything was cut open, and a strong smell of blood came, which was disgusting.

"I'm really impatient. If you don't say a word, you'll do it. This is not in line with the etiquette of civilized people."

Along with this sentence, a figure appeared in front of them.

It was a young man who seemed to be only about twenty years old, wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, with most of his face blocked by the brim. Unlike most people in this era, this young man was dressed very neatly, and he did not even wear the leather armor that people often wore in this era or modified steel armor. On the contrary, he only wore a black suit, even a bright red tie, and a windbreaker of the same color outside. On the man's left hand, he was carrying a painted black suitcase.

What happened? Who is he?

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone who escaped from death was completely stunned, but even so, they still held the weapons in their hands and aimed at the target that suddenly appeared in front of them. Their expressions were nervous and full of fear. After all, no one knew what this man who appeared here inexplicably wanted to do.

However, Feiren didn't care about their thoughts. He just lowered the brim of his hat and glanced at the people in front of him. From their dress, it can be seen that most of these people were soldiers who had experienced battles. Even the young man who fell to the ground was so scared that he was holding a gun tightly in his hand, without intending to let go. From their neat formation, it can be seen that although the incident happened suddenly, these soldiers still had good military qualities.

No wonder the old man was so anxious to get them back. Such qualities were enough to protect the safety of a second-level town from most external threats.

"You are the scavengers team?"

Although Feilun had confirmed their identities through information comparison in the information column in front of him, he still asked. When he heard Feilun's inquiry, these people seemed even more nervous, especially the three men who raised their guns and aimed at Feilun, who were ready to fire. But soon, Feilun saw a girl who was originally standing behind everyone coming over and reached out to stop their further actions. The girl looked quiet and delicate, although not particularly beautiful, but also had a unique temperament. Logically speaking, women with such a look rarely appear outside the gathering place. Either they are prisoners and slaves, or they have special abilities. However, judging from the clean and tidy uniforms worn by the girl in front of him, the other party should belong to the latter.

At this moment, the girl also spoke.

"We are members of the Scavengers Team. May I ask you......"

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Feilun smiled slightly before answering.
