Ning Rongrong and Osler followed Xiao Wu, searching the sewers for survivors.
At last, in a spacious cell, they discovered several civilians who had not yet been fully transformed.
"Thank goodness." Ning Rongrong stepped forward to rescue them, but Xiao Wu stopped her.
"It's no use. They're already beyond saving. Look closely at their heads."
Ning Rongrong and Osler looked and saw signs of movement beneath the skin of the unconscious people's heads.
Then they slowly rose, staggering to their feet like zombies.
Acid dripped constantly from the corners of their slack mouths. A foul stench spread, adding another nauseating layer to the cell's already unbearable air.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, terror filling her eyes as nausea surged through her.
Heavens, what kind of heartless, bloodless monster could commit such atrocities?
Anguish, hatred, pity, frustration-all manner of emotions welled up in Ning Rongrong and Osler. By then, Xiao Wu had already stepped forward to give these poor souls a quick end.
The Corrosive Maggot Demons swarmed her, but they were still no match for Xiao Wu.
However, since she had only just recovered, one Corrosive Maggot Demon managed to get close to her.
Boom!
An explosive bolt blasted the Corrosive Maggot Demon's head apart.
Wiping away the saliva that nausea had brought to her lips, Ning Rongrong held up her crossbow with a resolute gaze.
She kept pulling the trigger, easing the pressure on Xiao Wu.
Osler also stepped forward and killed several Corrosive Maggot Demons.
Xiao Wu said little, merely nodding.
Once they finished, the three continued searching and discovered several more transformation sites. Sadly, there were no survivors.
Just as the three were about to give up hope, they finally found several Soul Masters from Spirit Hall. Their transformation-"Hmm."
-was incomplete. They could still be saved.
