Although Lin Yi had no idea how strong the big white bear was, he took up a fighting stance now that he had someone to help.
Raging Adrenaline!
The instant he activated his supernatural ability, a tinge of orange-red appeared on his deathly pale skin.
The orange-red color kept spreading until it covered his entire body.
Sensing the change in Lin Yi's aura, the big white bear couldn't help glancing his way.
This white-haired man seemed stronger than he had expected!
Lin Yi could be coldhearted, but he couldn't be truly heartless.
If the big white bear hadn't come to help him just now, facing the level-two Ghost Shadow alone would have meant certain death.
There was no way he could betray his teammate now.
If they were going to fight, they would fight together!
"Vrrrr-"
The Soul-Devouring Saw began rumbling in his hands, its beastlike roar echoing through the street.
Rain fell as the man and bear stood side by side, facing the level-two Ghost Shadow.
"Whoosh-"
Ghost Shadow suddenly floated forward, slashing its claws down at Lin Yi and the big white bear.
Lin Yi charged first, bringing the Soul-Devouring Saw straight down toward Ghost Shadow's face. The saw blade spun wildly, sending sparks flying.
Ghost Shadow's attack was stopped in its tracks.
At that very moment, the big white bear leaped up, raising his paw high before slamming it down hard on Ghost Shadow's body.
Boom!
Under that crushing blow, even the level-two Ghost Shadow was forced down.
Seizing the opening, Lin Yi advanced with the Soul-Devouring Saw and brought it down on one of Ghost Shadow's claws.
The blade spun furiously, grinding away at the claw as he tried to sever it outright.
The big white bear didn't stop either. Standing beside Ghost Shadow, he kept pounding his heavy paws down on it.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Together, the two managed to pin down the level-two Ghost Shadow, but they still couldn't kill it.
Realizing this, the big white bear turned and said in a low voice, "Get ready to run. The two of us can't finish this entity off."
"Can we get away in time?"
Lin Yi was worried. If they didn't kill Ghost Shadow, they would be in trouble once it caught up.
"We have to try, whether we can or not!"
The big white bear roared and slammed his paw down hard. "Now!"
With that, he abruptly turned and rushed to the side, grabbed the supplies he had dropped, slung them over his back, and ran.
On all fours, the big white bear fled at considerable speed.
Lin Yi immediately strapped the Soul-Devouring Saw to his back, grabbed his own supplies from nearby, hoisted them onto his shoulder, and ran.
Once the relentless pressure was gone, Ghost Shadow floated up from the ground again.
As it watched the humans who had just attacked it, the black mist around its body grew increasingly uncontrollable, billowing out in every direction.
Clearly, Ghost Shadow was enraged.
Spreading its claws, Ghost Shadow gave chase to the fleeing man and bear.
Neither Lin Yi nor the big white bear dared slow down. They ran faster and faster, charging straight toward the town entrance.
Before Ghost Shadow could catch up, a piercing shriek rang out from within Guangming Town.
In an instant, Ghost Shadow reacted as though it had been challenged and floated straight toward the source of the sound.
It seemed that whatever had made the sound was more enticing than the man and bear.
Lin Yi and the big white bear escaped just then.
Back at the convoy.
Liu Chuan checked his wristwatch. Five minutes remained.
Everyone inside who could get out had already done so.
Those who still hadn't emerged were most likely doomed.
The mood around the convoy grew somber. Quite a few people knelt on the ground, sobbing quietly as their last shred of hope was swallowed by despair.
"Honey, where are you? Please come out!"
"Damn it, why isn't my little brother out yet? Is he trying to worry us to death?"
"Dad! Dad, please come back! I won't eat anything anymore. Just come back so we can leave together."
"They're coming! More people are running out!"
"..."
At the town entrance, everyone was startled by the sight of the red-skinned Lin Yi and the big white bear behind him.
Was that... a polar bear?
What was a polar bear doing in Guangming Town?
Was it an entity?
"Liu Chuan, stop staring! Get ready to leave!"
Lin Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and a closer look revealed blood trickling from his ears.
Although the sound from inside Guangming Town had saved their lives, it had also injured Lin Yi's eardrums.
He wasn't the only one. The big white bear's ears were bleeding too.
A dozen or so people fleeing for their lives followed behind them. They looked dazed and were clearly in poor shape.
"Xu Xiaohan hasn't come back yet. What happened to her?"
Liu Chuan hurried forward to ask, an inexplicable sense of dread rising in his heart.
Lin Yi tossed the supplies he had found into a vehicle, wiped the rain from his face, and cursed. "She probably won't make it out. I nearly died in there myself. If that guy hadn't helped me, I'd already be dead!"
"What exactly happened in there?"
Liu Chuan gritted his teeth and pressed him urgently.
"There's a level-two Ghost Shadow in Guangming Town!"
Lin Yi glanced back at the big white bear and said grimly, "A sudden noise drew it away. I suspect there's another level-two entity in there!"
What?!
Two level-two entities? Was this tiny Guangming Town really that dangerous?
Checking his watch, Liu Chuan knew they were out of time. They couldn't keep waiting.
Xu Xiaohan had most likely died inside Guangming Town.
"Everyone, get in the vehicles!"
Liu Chuan turned and shouted through his megaphone, "We can't wait any longer! There are two entities inside Guangming Town. If we keep waiting, none of us will get away!"
"You can't leave! My son hasn't come out yet!"
"My dad hasn't come back either! Please, I'm begging you, wait a little longer. My dad will be out soon!"
"Honey! Honey, where are you? Don't scare me!"
"Cry, cry, cry! That's all you fucking do! If you want to die, go in there yourselves. Stop blocking our way!"
"..."
For a moment, chaos engulfed the town entrance.
One old woman even planted herself in the middle of the road, making it clear she had no intention of moving.
Her son still hadn't returned after going inside. No matter what anyone said, she refused to clear the road. She insisted on waiting for him so they could leave together.
"You can't leave!"
The old woman shrieked, "My son isn't out yet! All of you have to wait!"
As Lin Yi looked at the old woman blocking the road, killing intent slowly rose within him.
He wasn't about to gamble with his own life. There might be two entities in Guangming Town now, and even Xu Xiaohan might be dead. He would never let anyone block his path to survival...
