Otherworldly Desert Dust

The door to the storage room opposite the cold storage cracked open.

Four eyes peered out, filled with terror and amazement; they belonged to the hiding Wu Hen and Yu Yu.

Wu Hen held Yu Yu's mouth with one hand, fearing his mute sister would scream.

What was going on?

Was this person mad or what?

Why burn all the medical supplies in one big fire?

If the Black Shirt Organization had entirely turned against humanity, then why did this guy also kill his Black Shirt companions?

And what's with those white fungal weapons growing from his body?

"Huff huff huff huff~~~~~~"

Flames reflected from the cold storage; to ensure the fire burned fiercely, the Eye Pattern Man even deliberately threw in liquid oxygen to make sure all the drugs in the cold storage were burned to ashes!

The Eye Pattern Man saw that the fire had reached an uncontrollable level, so he contentedly closed the door and planned to leave.

As he turned, Wu Hen saw the guy's face through the door crack!

What shocked Wu Hen was that the eye pattern on his forehead had expanded like frost-white blood vessels, exaggeratedly covering the top half of his face, looking entirely like he was wearing a half-mask of corpse-white human skin.

The most horrifying was his eye sockets, as if some kind of insect had nested there; his eye lenses had been completely devoured, and the pupils wandered back and forth within his eye sockets like white larvae!

Trembling.

The delicate body in his arms couldn't stop trembling.

Wu Hen himself felt a chill, let alone his sister Yu Yu.

As Wu Hen tried to calm his sister, Yu Yu's nervous little hand moved Wu Hen's hand up, indicating that her brother should cover her eyes, not her mouth!

Wu Hen felt extremely awkward.

Flustered to the point of forgetting that scared kids should just not look!

"What the heck is this guy, a Spirit Awakener or mutated?"

"His behavior is very much like people infected by a mental disturbance, but shouldn't those who return to Nuwa God End be cleansed?"

"How could something this dirty from Desert Dust be brought into our home?"

Wu Hen and Yu Yu didn't dare make a sound, quietly waiting.

The Eye Pattern Man headed towards the emergency stairs; once he left, Wu Hen and Yu Yu would escape this hellish place immediately!

It was extremely dangerous outside, not only were there deranged gangs and extreme rioters, but also ruthless Insect Eyes Half-man...

"Click click~"

The sound of the door locking came from the end of the stairwell.

Yu Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; her nerves were so tense that she was already teary-eyed, looking at her brother Wu Hen with a pitiful expression.

Normally, Wu Hen would hug her and comfort his little sister, but now he couldn't.

Because Wu Hen heard a very light footstep, like a poisonous scorpion slowly approaching the storage room where they were hiding!

"That guy locked the door, didn't go out... he knows we're here!" Wu Hen immediately told Yu Yu the situation.

Yu Yu, like a frightened little puppet cat, turned her body frantically without knowing where to escape.

"Mmm, what a sweet scent~" At this moment, the Eye Pattern Man sniffed the air and walked towards the siblings, "I guess one of you must be a pretty pink little girl."

Wu Hen's heart sank upon hearing this.

Could this be something with an extraordinarily sensitive sense of smell!

Which meant that from the beginning, this guy had already smelled the two of them, making hiding pointless!

"In the past, I would've taken good care of such girls, but now I think the taste must be even better without the need for seasoning!" The Eye Pattern Man followed the scent, blood dripping from the white Cold Stab in his hand!

Wu Hen heard these extremely perverse words, and anger flared in his eyes!

"You run towards the elevator shaft, I'll handle him!" Wu Hen patted his sister, signaling her to retreat from another direction.

Yu Yu nodded and immediately ran towards the elevator shaft.

"Tsk tsk, so scared that you're sweating sweetly?" The Eye Pattern Man made a disgustingly sick sound.

He quickened his pace and chased down the corridor.

Just as he turned a corner, suddenly a figure flashed out from a door, Wu Hen held a semi-automatic pistol and fired a volley at the Eye Pattern Man!!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!"

Seven bullets, Wu Hen emptied the magazine in one go!

This semi-automatic pistol was naturally taken from his father's collection and had always been holstered at his waist.

"Tsk tsk tsk, good shooting, every shot aimed at my head, but unfortunately, this kind of firearm can't hurt me..."

The Eye Pattern Man wasn't killed because a mass of white fungal filaments grew from his arm, like a bulletproof shield blocking all of Wu Hen's bullets!

Wu Hen frowned.

This guy's ability was absurd, he could automatically block bullets?

Little Yi usually helped Wu Hen lock on to enemies, generally allowing Wu Hen to simply shoot.

But this time, the opponent seemed to possess white fungal material that could automatically intercept bullets, making it impossible to penetrate his body!

Left with no choice, Wu Hen could only run towards the elevator shaft.

The Eye Pattern Man seemed to know Wu Hen was reloading, so he chased quickly along the corridor.

The Eye Pattern Man was extremely fast, moving as if someone in a movie had doubled the speed, astonishing Wu Hen.

"Bang!! Bang!!"

At a corner, Wu Hen suddenly fired from cover, catching the Eye Pattern Man off guard.

Meanwhile, the Eye Pattern Man's nose twitched, and his eyes rapidly swirled, the white Insect Eyes in his eye sockets spinning furiously!

A mass of white fungal filaments reappeared on his body, some on his abdomen, some covering his chest... these two bullets were aimed precisely at these spots!

As the white fungal filaments grew and returned to his body, the Eye Pattern Man couldn't move.

He stood still, looking down at the blocked bullets, his face contorting in even more ferocious rage!

"Soon I will stuff your sister's heart into your mouth; if you spit it out, I'll kill you; if you swallow it, I'll spare you!" the Eye Pattern Man said cruelly.

The white fungal filaments, whether growing or retracting, moved quickly.

The Eye Pattern Man, furious, chased again!

Wu Hen had a limited supply of bullets, and could only keep running towards the elevator shaft, firing back intermittently to buy time.

"Bro, I can't open the elevator shaft by myself," Yu Yu gestured to the approaching Wu Hen.

Wu Hen glanced at the elevator shaft.

Considering the Eye Pattern Man's speed, even if they both reached the shaft, they'd likely still die.

"Don't be afraid!" Wu Hen stopped thinking about running and rapidly reloaded his magazine.

He aimed his gun at the corner, waiting for the opponent to approach.

...

The Eye Pattern Man's nose twitched again.

He smelled the sweat of the siblings waiting at the elevator.

He also smelled a hot gun barrel, the scent of gunpowder thick.

The moment a shot was fired, the Eye Pattern Man could sense the danger, and the Insect Eyes would instantly block it.

So, the Eye Pattern Man didn't hesitate; even walking towards the gun barrel, he took big steps forward.

The moment he stepped out, he smelled the dangerous gunpowder scent again!

The Insect Eyes spun quickly,

Fungal shell guarded!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!"

Another seven bullets, all aimed at the Eye Pattern Man's heart!

From his chest, layers of white fungal filaments grew, like a bulging shield, blocking every bullet!

The Eye Pattern Man stood still, though he endured every shot, the force penetrating a single area made him grit his teeth in pain.

He swore he would eat this boy's sister alive in front of him!

"You make me very..."

Before the Eye Pattern Man could finish his sentence, less than five meters away, a sharp metal arrow shot out with no warning!

"Swish!"

The arrow hit the Eye Pattern Man's left eye socket, the power of the Compound Bow not only piercing through his skull, but pinning him to the wall!!

The Eye Pattern Man's face bulged with veins, his blood vessels almost bursting from his skin.

His eye sockets bled profusely.

Though he struggled madly, his pinned head only allowed him to twist his pained body in place...

A Compound Bow strangely hovered behind a screen, the metal arrow shot from there; the Eye Pattern Man would never have thought there existed a self-firing modern Compound Bow in this world!

Floating and waiting silently, drawing the bowstring itself, aiming on its own!!

"Ahhh, I will eat your blood, drink your flesh!!" the Eye Pattern Man howled in agony.

He extended his hand and brutally pulled the arrow from his eye socket and the wall!

Wu Hen was shocked by what he saw.

Shooting through the eye socket into the brain, and still alive??

Unfortunately, unlike the semi-automatic pistol, the Compound Bow had a disadvantage; Little Yi couldn't nock the arrow itself.

This ambush was set by pre-nocking an arrow on the bowstring, then having Little Yi wait behind the screen.

His eye sockets...

Soon, Wu Hen saw something terrifying: two white larvae appeared in the other eye socket of the Insect Eyes Half-man!

At the moment the arrow hit his left eye, the left white Insect Eyes moved to the right eye socket immediately!

Surviving a skull-penetrating shot, was it because the real body was the white Insect Eyes?????

"Whoosh!"

As Wu Hen thought of his next move, a crisp sound flew past his ear!

After training with arrows for a long time, the sound alone indicated a bullseye!

Indeed, a sharp arrow flew and struck the Insect Eyes Half-man; when Wu Hen focused on the right eye socket, he saw an arrow still trembling!

In the eye socket, the two white larvae clutching each other were pierced simultaneously and even pulled out the face of the Eye Pattern Man...

The frenzied half-human, who was trying to pull the arrow from his left eye, suddenly froze, his whole body emitting white steam!

His body, seemingly decayed and boneless, released copious amounts of white steam as the Eye Pattern Man melted into a puddle of flesh...

It was clear that the Eye Pattern Man was thoroughly dead, especially after the Insect Eyes were shot out of his skull.

In his astonishment, Wu Hen turned and saw a graceful young girl!

Her delicate figure was both slender and strong, her elegant arms holding a beautifully crafted Compound Bow at her chest...

Her focused profile was elfin-like in its grace, her eyes radiating an unlikely confidence and determination!

The final arrow was her shot!

But my God!

Was this really the sister he'd bullied for fifteen years, who hid in his bed during thunderstorms?
