Earth—where had the monsters come from?
Why were monsters roaming the streets?
Where were the humans?
Boom!
Lu Cang crashed to the ground!
In an instant, he turned into a streak of white light and appeared on a familiar street. This was Wuyue Plaza...
Whenever it was open for business, there were always plenty of people around.
But now, there wasn't a single person in sight at Wuyue Plaza.
Only a huge monster stood there, more than two meters tall and covered in fur. It looked to be only at the first or second tier—unbelievably weak.
Lu Cang didn't attack it.
A far more ominous premonition weighed on his heart.
He looked in the direction of home.
His senses entered his home and swept carefully through every room, inside and out.
But he couldn't find any trace of his parents.
No...
It wasn't that there were no traces at all.
The photographs were still there, and the furniture inside the house was exactly as he remembered.
At least, it was the same as when he'd come home for Spring Festival last year. If this wasn't his home, then nowhere else could be.
Every little detail showed that someone had once lived here.
Even...
The family portrait was still there.
Whoosh!
His thoughts were a tangled mess. A thousand ideas and countless suspicions flooded his mind.
He felt nothing but terror and unease.
In the next instant,
Lu Cang left the plaza and appeared inside the familiar home like a beam of light.
Ruihe East City, Building 8, Unit 2, Apartment 901.
"I... I'm home."
Back home again.
His voice trembled, yet it was still childish.
It was still a child's voice—not that of the grown man who had entered society and spent years navigating the workplace.
The house was empty.
