Chapter 214
The old man stood silently at the village entrance, staring at the people in the Convoy.
Not a single person dared meet his gaze.
The moment Wei Ying and Hu Zhi Yuan saw him, they turned around in alarm and whispered, "That's the big cat. If we hadn't been lucky, we might never have made it back."
Li Yujin looked over as well.
The big cat was nothing special, but the old man whose entire body was rotting filled her with an involuntary dread.
He seemed to be the truly troublesome one.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yujin said gravely, "Everyone, get in your vehicles. We're leaving immediately."
With the Protective Shield still in place, they could hold out, but they couldn't waste time waiting for those who hadn't come out.
Besides, that old man didn't look harmless. They had no idea whether he would leave the village if they stayed any longer.
What would they do if he followed them?
For the sake of the majority of the Convoy, they had to abandon those who hadn't made it out.
Since those people still hadn't emerged, it was safe to say they never would.
Once everyone was aboard, they immediately set off, leaving the eerie village behind. Lin Yi glanced back through the rearview mirror and saw the old man smiling as he watched them.
Had... he set his sights on them?
Lin Yi took a deep breath, well aware that the old man might already have marked them as targets.
They might even run into him again later.
For now, the Protective Shield could keep some Aberrations at bay.
But the Protective Shield couldn't work forever. At the very least, the price of using an Anomalous Object was beyond what an ordinary person could bear.
