Deafening

"This guy..."

For some reason, Yan Bin found him increasingly unpleasant to look at.

With their teammate parasitized, the others truly felt awkward and found it hard to strike, especially the ice-element awakened girl.

She usually got along well with everyone and loved to smile. She was the group's source of laughter. In the apocalypse, having a teammate like that was incredibly rare.

"Damn it! Even she was parasitized!"

"These monsters really get everywhere!"

"Who knows when it happened."

"I can't bear to do it. What should we do?"

"Yeah, this is really difficult..."

"..."

Everyone wore sorrowful expressions.

But the girl's face was icy, her gaze vicious as she stared straight at her former teammates, unable to recall even a shred of their past bond.

"Difficult? Then don't bother."

Lin Dong stepped forward, his figure flashing as he moved with extreme speed. As his long blade swept out, it sliced toward the girl's chest.

Since they could not bring themselves to act, he would help them...

Doing good deeds had become a habit.

The girl tried to resist, whipping her tentacles toward him, but Lin Dong's blade shredded them all before slicing into her chest.

With a twist of his blade, he picked out her Crystal Core.

The movement was precise and swift, a single lethal strike that was almost pleasing to watch...

The battle behind them had basically stabilized.

After fighting their way through, they had reached the center of the hall. Many were stained with blood and wounded, their chests heaving as they gasped heavily. Their energy consumption had been enormous.

If this continued, they probably would not hold out much longer.

Yet deep within the hall, a fierce, savage aura began to spread, growing ever stronger. It seemed that something was stirring restlessly in the darkness.
