The whole affair was extremely strange, but Zhang Ming did not hesitate much. He immediately decided to investigate in person and get to the bottom of it.
There was no hiding from it, even if he wanted to.
They were all in the same boat. If a monster attacked, his turn would come sooner or later.
"Has your wife had any unusual symptoms these past few days?"
"She woke from a nightmare and said her eyes felt terrible, as though they were burning... I even reassured her that it was a psychological reaction."
Old Zhang swallowed, feeling a slight aching pressure in his own eyes. The seal at the bottom of the Abyss had indeed left him a little traumatized. "Where's your room? Take me there."
Seeing that Zhang Ming was willing to help, Gangduo and the others all looked relieved.
After all, this affair really was strange, and some vague sixth sense was warning them that great terror lay ahead. Anyone who investigated further would die!
Now that a Transcendent was willing to lead them, they could truly breathe a deep sigh of relief.
Zhang Ming arrived at the Macrosteel People's living quarters. The population density here was high, so the air was inevitably somewhat stale. However, following the string of disappearances, all the residents had now been temporarily evacuated elsewhere.
"Stone Mama, what do we do if a Demon God invades?" Zhang Ming tried to focus his voice into a thread.
"Then transform," Stone Mama said indifferently.
"But I still want to live..."
"If you encounter a Demon God, you won't survive unless you transform."
"..."
Life rarely went as one wished. Zhang Ming had also considered the possibility that he might encounter insurmountable dangers on his journey.
Even someone as powerful as the Black Tortoise could die.
