Chapter 828: Chapter 16: When the Rabbit Dies, the Fox Grieves
The current time is eleven at night, with six hours until dawn.
Guleng Star, like Water Blue Star, has a total of twenty-four hours in a day.
Due to the Crimson Day during daylight, everyone on this planet has become night owls, only able to come out and be active at night.
The building isnât completely dark inside; under the illumination of the moonlight at night, itâs barely possible to see some things.
Unlike the light during the day, as long as the moonlight doesnât directly shine on someone at night, it generally wonât cause infection.
However, the world rendered in red, when looked at for too long, can easily drive people to despair.
This is the first time Narui has âtraveled farâ since the apocalypse. She packed some of her belongings and reluctantly said goodbye to the small home she had lived in for years, setting off with Su Ya to the Survivor Camp.
âWatch out!â
On the road, Su Ya saw two Mutants suddenly rush out and instinctively warned.
She immediately took up a combat stance, ready to act at any moment.
âWhoosh! Whoosh!â
However, in the next second, a swooshing sound was heard.
Two translucent ripples slashed through the air, and the monster charging from not too far ahead was instantly sliced into four pieces, dying immediately.
This scene happened so abruptly that the crowd didnât react to what exactly happened; the two Mutants were already dead.
âLo-Lord Jixing!â
Narui turned around in surprise, having felt a wave of Dark Energy, knowing it was his hand at work.
âHmm, itâs alright, letâs keep moving.â
Zhang Xiaomanâs expression remained unchanged, as if everything just now was merely a trivial matter.
But indeed, for him, it really was.
He had casually sent out two Wind Blades, the powerful kinetic and dark energy mixed damage instantly took out the two most ordinary Mutants.
Speaking of which, this Wind Blade is only a green-level Skill, which he had previously drawn in the System.
Its energy consumption is similar to Burst Spirit Skill, only 50 points, but the effect is completely different, excelling in causing large area slicing damage.
This time, everyone finally witnessed Zhang Xiaomanâs strength, and while admiring him, they also finally put down the heavy stone in their hearts.
With Zhang Xiaoman accompanying them, the three survivors no longer had to worry about the attacks of those Mutants.
Hank even felt like shouting at the top of his lungs.
He was really fed up with that stifling life, cooped up in a cramped space all day, not even daring to speak loudly.
The terrifying monster they used to dread like a tiger is now being dealt with as simply as slaughtering pigs or dogs.
The contrast was such that even a man in his thirties like him couldnât help but feel a surge of emotion, bringing tears to his eyes.
Their journey went smoothly; the obstacles on the road were no hindrance, and the distance of just three floors was quickly covered.
This was an abandoned cinema, its structure looking very different from those on Water Blue Star, and Zhang Xiaoman didnât know exactly how to use it.
Judging by the appearance, it looked more like a gigantic spacecraft, with individual hibernation chambers inside for people to rest.
Zhang Xiaoman later learned that these were actually immersive virtual spaces where one could enter the movie for a close-up experience.
This type of technology was quite advanced for the Federation, unable to be widely implemented.
In civilian areas like this, each building only had one cinema.
Ordinary people had to visit Movie City to watch it if they wanted to experience it.
When Zhang Xiaoman and the group arrived, there was already a crowd in the cinema lobby arguing about something.
If it werenât for this area being under renovation and closed before the incident, these people might have already been discovered by Mutants.
âLu Bo! How can you be so selfish! We agreed to take turns finding food; last time I found compressed vegetables, and I shared a lot with you! How can you not give me a single bag now!â
âExactly! We take turns, everyone takes their turn; you ate from others, and now you refuse to shareâwhere in the world does that happen?â
âUngrateful wolf! Do you think we canât get food without you? Lu Bo, youâd better not cause public anger!â
ââŠâ
A group of people surrounded a young man, hurling insults at him. The man looked agitated and out of breath, retorting while clinging tightly to a backpack, not letting anyone get near him.
âYou bastards, I risked my life escaping from under a monsterâs nose! What did you encounter when you went to find food!?â
His face flushed red, not yielding an inch to the crowdâs pressure.
âBesides, did I say I wouldnât give it to you! I just said these things should be distributed by me! These were found by me, whatâs wrong with me distributing them! If I didnât want to give them to you, why would I even come back!?â
Hearing his words, the crowd finally quieted down a bit, but someone still mocked:
âHa, Lu Bo, you really have a wolfish ambition, donât you? Now that Su Ya Bossâs life or death is unknown, are you thinking of seizing power by controlling the food? Who do you think you are!?â
Lu Bo, as if pricked in his hidden intentions by this remark, immediately jumped up, loudly arguing in return.
âEnough! All of you, stop arguing! Is this the most important thing right now!?â
