I Was Here First

A heart-stopping alarm blared as countless grotesque Imposters rushed into the E District lobby.

"Some had stitches across their skin, some had only one eye, and one had a butt on its face."

Chen Feng had only ever seen expressionless Imposters before. This was an eye-opener.

The Imposters had escaped?

Meng Chengcheng had a bad feeling.

Imposters were indeed the most common, most worthless monsters.

But even the weakest monster was still a monster.

They were roughly twice as strong as ordinary people. That might not sound like much, but strength wasn't simple arithmetic. One plus one did not equal two.

a yellow figure flashed past.

A burly man wearing a yellow headscarf, his eyes crossed, let out a roar and threw a wind-whipping punch that sent an Imposter flying.

But there was more than one Imposter in the lobby.
