Tianbao Tower, fortieth floor.
Firelight flickered on every floor, like tiny candles in the dead of night, wavering unsteadily before quickly going out.
The Pioneers followed closely behind Fang Yi like clingy tails, climbing floor by floor. Their urge to strike was growing restless.
Yet they found no opportunity at all.
"Has it only been ten minutes?"
"To be precise, it's been 9 minutes and 56 seconds. Four seconds short of ten minutes."
"Not a single one left? Is this the strength of a captain-level figure? That's terrifying!"
At this moment,
the Pioneers were feeling rather complicated.
Tianbao Tower before them seemed to have suddenly transformed from a horror game into a horror game with every cheat turned to the max.
They could hear Anomalies howling and see corpses everywhere. Each time they thought even more terrifying Anomalies would appear upstairs, the difficulty would increase, chasing them all over the place.
Yet the elevator Anomaly's face-to-face attack at the very beginning had turned out to be the closest they ever came to an Anomaly.
Since then, they had not seen a single living Anomaly.
Yes, not one.
Forget living ones—even the barely alive kind had been nowhere to be seen. Everywhere Fang Yi passed, every Anomaly died cleanly and decisively, turning straight into ash. Not even superglue could stick them back together.
That left the Pioneers with a very strange feeling.
Even more terrifying was that
the Tai City Captain had taken less than ten minutes to do all this.
Ten minutes!
That was not even enough time for an ordinary person to climb the stairs, yet every Anomaly in the entire building had already been wiped out. Tell them, was that reasonable?
They had come to kill Anomalies, only to never find a single chance to make a move.
