After destroying the gem, Deng Lian collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.
He looked at Lin An as though he were looking at a dead man.
Lin An frowned slightly and ignored him, instead asking the person who had spoken, with a hint of curiosity.
"Rear Mountain?"
"What's in Rear Mountain?"
"Rear Mountain..."
The male student raised his head. His lips trembled, and after a long silence, he finally spoke slowly.
"There's a Demon Beast in Rear Mountain, or perhaps a monster."
"Its strength is terrifying, far beyond the Licker level!"
"Seven days ago, we originally planned to open up Rear Mountain. After all, there were plenty of prey and firewood there that we could make use of."
"However, none of the four Awakeners and fourteen others who entered the mountain in the first group came back alive."
"Later, we sent in more people. That time, Chairman Li and Brother Deng went together..."
"In that battle, nearly one-third of the Awakeners in the college died before the survivors managed to escape by sheer luck. But the monster pursued them relentlessly. After slaughtering its way through the college, the number of survivors fell from more than nine thousand to three thousand. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to have so few Awakeners and survivors left."
Lin An nodded slightly. That was indeed the case.
In his previous life, Lin Jiang College not only had stable spiritual energy nodes, but also saw a large number of unstable nodes appear at the same time.
Calculating based on seventy percent of the population turning into Zombies,
a school with more than thirty thousand people should have had around ten thousand ordinary survivors.
Moreover, everyone in the college was young, making them the ideal age for awakening.
