A Startling Change in the Village

Those auras were extremely faint, flickering in and out of existence, adrift as if on the verge of death.

Curious, Lin Dong headed in that direction. He walked alone into the village lanes, where everything was silent. He did not even see a single rat.

The journey was smooth, and nothing happened along the way.

Until a moment later, a small square appeared ahead. The ground was covered in gruesome bloodstains, clearly left behind recently, though no one knew what had happened.

Several people lay motionless in the middle of the square, as if they were corpses. Yet those faint traces of life were coming from them.

"Passed out?"

Lin Dong stepped forward to inspect them. There were both men and women among them, including one person in a white lab coat with an ID badge hanging from their chest.

"Jinjiang City Shelter researcher."

"How did they end up here?"

Lin Dong pondered this. Jinjiang City was not far from Jiangbei City, just upstream along the river. These people were most likely connected to the plane crash.

Besides, Lin Dong remembered seeing online that the Jinjiang City Shelter had long since been overrun by monsters.

He had even seen photos at the time.

The corpses had holes torn straight through their stomachs.

They were exactly the same as the bodies at the crash site.

"Did they bring the monsters out with them?"

Lin Dong stared at them and noticed that the people on the ground were growing weaker and weaker, their vitality steadily draining away. He had no idea why they were lying here.

Sunbathing?

The unknown always gave people an uneasy feeling. Everything that had happened here seemed bizarre.

But Lin Dong did not care about that.

No matter what it was, he only needed to wipe it out.
