An era like hell on earth had arrived. Though the monsters of the apocalypse were terrifying, human hearts were just as filthy.

Food, women, power, survival, ambition...

It was like a furnace of desires.

Gu Qijue walked through the night. At this stage, he had yet to encounter a single Super Martial Warrior.

That was because Super Martial Warriors awakened several hours later than Mutated Monsters.

It was perfectly normal that he had not seen any yet.

Splurt!

On a street, Gu Qijue cut down a Mutated Stray Dog as massive as an elephant, its entire body covered in mouths.

The Twin Dragons behind him immediately rushed over and feasted on it.

Gu Qijue made a surprising discovery.

As Xiao Yao devoured the corpses of Mutated Monsters, his hungry stomach gradually became full...

If Xiao Yao devouring Mutated Monsters is equivalent to me eating them too, wouldn't every Mutated Monster in this entire world become my food?

Gu Qijue revealed a look of surprised delight. "Perhaps I can no longer be considered human."

Ever since Gu Qijue had released the Twin Dragons behind him, even the Mutated Monsters passing by no longer dared attack him.

Whenever they encountered him, they instead fled in panic.

Shaking his head, he did not dwell on whether he was still human.

As long as he could survive, what did it matter if he became a monster?

However, although the hunger in his belly had vanished, he still felt thirsty.

Just as Gu Qijue was about to look for water to drink...

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—

A burst of dense gunfire suddenly rang out from a distant street.

In the darkness, Gu Qijue vanished from the alley in a few strides, heading toward the source of the gunfire.

There stood an enormous supermarket.

Outside its entrance, twenty or thirty fully armed soldiers were frantically firing in every direction at the endless tide of Mutated Monsters surging toward them.

Gunfire and monster roars blended into one continuous din.

"Fire! Damn it, don't any of you panic! Don't waste bullets! Aim for their heads! Clear out these monsters, then shut the supermarket's iron doors and wait for the main force to rescue us!"

"Captain, we can't hold on! We're almost out of bullets! When that happens, not only will we be wiped out, but the hundred-plus survivors inside the supermarket will be finished too!"

Faced with so many nearly unkillable Mutated Monsters, some of which required dozens of shots to bring down, the soldiers were beginning to panic.

Splurt!!

Suddenly, a sharp tentacle shot out from the darkness, piercing through three or four soldiers in succession before dragging them all away at once.

"Not good! There's a stronger Mutated Monster hiding in the dark."

The captain's face darkened. He threw two grenades toward the darkness, then opened fire wildly in that direction.

Inside the supermarket, more than a hundred survivors huddled together. Hearing the gunfire and monster howls outside, their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

In his previous life, Gu Qijue had been one of them.

But he had not been fortunate enough to encounter the army.

Awooo! Roar roar—

Just as this twenty-odd-man Imperial Army squad was about to run out of ammunition, the monsters surrounding them suddenly halted their charge, then scattered with a rustle, all turning to look toward a patch of darkness.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be... an even more terrifying monster is about to attack us?"

The soldiers' scalps prickled as they stared at the darkness, their gun barrels aimed toward it from afar.

Then they saw hundreds of monsters part together, opening up a path.

The soldiers treated the sight as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the hands holding their guns began to tremble.

They were not regular troops and had not undergone much specialized training. Naturally, their psychological endurance was not particularly strong.

Something capable of making so many monsters clear a path upon its arrival was undoubtedly a powerful boss among monsters.

Yet a moment later, they froze in astonishment.

Because what entered their sight was not some monster.

It was a... human with Blood Eyes and white hair, a bare upper body, a normal human physique, and only two ferocious Black Dragons growing from his back!

No Mutated Monster dared attack him wherever he went.

"This..."

"Is this a humanoid monster?"

The captain aimed his gun at Gu Qijue and shouted, "Are you human or monster?!"

"I'm human, and I'm also a monster. I won't harm you. I only came to get a drink of water."

Even Gu Qijue himself no longer knew whether he was human or monster. He passed through the monster horde and headed toward the supermarket.

Having devoured so many Mutated Monsters and gained a dragon's body, bullets could no longer pierce his flesh.

Thus, he acted as though he did not see the twenty-odd gun barrels aimed at him.

If they dared open fire on him, Gu Qijue would slaughter them all in an instant.

"Captain... h-he seems to be... that madman who killed a security guard and Young Master Lin at the school entrance before the mutation."

At that moment, a soldier whispered into his captain's ear.

"What? It's him? Then it seems this man truly isn't a monster."

While surprised, the captain was also overjoyed. He motioned for everyone to lower their weapons, stepped forward, and smiled. "Little brother, what is your name? I'm Wu Rui, captain of this squad."

"Don't make small talk with me. I only showed up here to get a bottle of water."

Gu Qijue cast the soldiers an indifferent glance and headed straight for the supermarket.

Xiao Yao's devouring of Mutated Monsters could fill his stomach, but it seemed to make him desperately thirsty.

That was quite a problem.

"Brother, we came here to rescue an important person. You..."

Captain Wu Rui followed behind Gu Qijue, hesitating as he spoke.

"What does that have to do with me? I'll leave after taking a bottle of water."

Gu Qijue sneered and spoke coldly.

Once inside the supermarket, he saw over a hundred survivors staring at him in terror.

Gu Qijue ignored them and went to a freezer, taking out a bottle of mineral water. He twisted off the cap and gulped it down in several swallows.

Hmm?

Gu Qijue frowned. One bottle of water had done nothing to quench his thirst. What was going on?

He took out several more bottles in succession and drank them.

Only after more than twenty bottles did Gu Qijue finally feel somewhat satisfied.

Monster!!

The soldiers and survivors present all looked at him as though he were a monster.

Only after drinking until he was seventy percent full did Gu Qijue stop.

"Hahaha!! I've awakened a powerful Super Martial Armor!!!"

At that moment, wild laughter rang out from among the survivors.

Hearing it,

everyone turned to look.

They saw a thin, tall man staring excitedly at the blue nine-pointed star pattern appearing in his palm.

"Deep Blue Armor, equip!!!!"

He laughed loudly, and a suit of deep-blue armor covered his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Super Martial Armor!!!

"What's going on?"

Everyone stared in shock and confusion.

"You half-human, half-ghost monster, kneel down and accept your execution!!"

The man clad in Super Martial Armor fixed Gu Qijue with a cold gaze.

"Oh! You want to kill me?"

Gu Qijue gave him an amused, chilling look. He licked his lips wickedly, revealing a hint of cruelty.

He truly had not expected a mere newly awakened Super Martial Warrior to dare provoke him.
