The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

At this very moment,

All Destiny People were converging on the edge of the infected area, looking back towards the city center.

Their expressions sank slightly.

"The battle has begun!"

Every person glanced at their wristwatch, which displayed the resources they possessed, along with a map.

They were carrying the last of their resources, determined to hold out until the final exit door opened.

"This is the path that our predecessors have desperately carved out for us to survive."

Someone spoke in a grave voice.

"We must not let their efforts go to waste!"

And at the same time,

His communicator trembled slightly, receiving a message.

It was a message from the Demigods.

His expression turned solemn.

"Prepare for battle."

"The Venerables are coming after us."

"Their goal is the same as ours, to leave this place, except they want to... eliminate us before departing."

"The predecessors have done enough for us; now we must rely on ourselves."

This was an unavoidable threat.

If they wanted to survive this battle, it was impossible to avoid these people.

And just then,

Three figures appeared at a street corner, their voices carrying over:

"Do you want to... fight?"

"I'd advise you to keep calm; now is not a good time."

The Destiny People looked towards them, their expressions shifting from surprise to joy.

"It's you."

The two people they had been searching for were Jiulin and An Nan; though they did not recognize the third person, since they were fellow travelers, they were companions.

"Why did you just say...." The Destiny Person began to speak but immediately raised an eyebrow as the three were running frantically!

"Why are you running..."

An Nan and Jiulin were rushing with heads down, gasping for breath, struggling to speak as if their physical strength had bottomed out, yet they dared not stop moving for a moment.

On the other hand, Bei Shenxing was able to maintain his ability and even had the energy to say, "I don't know what's happening with you right now, but I still have to warn you."

"Run! Any delay will be regretted in half a minute!"

At this moment, Bei Shenxing and the others had also regained their abilities and obtained new equipment and tools.

But they did not dare to pause for a second!

All Destiny People looked at one another hesitantly, "But..."

The direction from which the three had come was the infected area; if they chose to run now, they would be diving back into danger, drawing closer to the battlefield.

"What exactly happened?" The Destiny People couldn't help asking.

To which Jiulin and An Nan could only clench their teeth and spit out one word: "Run!"

Based on their knowledge of the two, the Destiny People were hesitant, but at least they started to move, albeit not quickly.

When the three dashed past them, they were ready to ask a couple of questions to understand exactly what was happening.

However, the three passed by them like a gust of wind with a whoosh!

"Look back!" Jiulin shouted, catching his breath.

The crowd turned their heads, and their gaze trembled, for a strange noise was coming from the infected area behind them.

But it was too distant to make out clearly.

Then,

Four or five Hunters burst out, looking somewhat confused, as if they had lost their target, turning their heads back toward the infected area.

"Is that it?" The Destiny People were momentarily stunned.

But the next moment,

Boom!

A massive wave of monsters howled out from the infected area, accompanied by frenzied roars and a dense barrage of impacts!

They surged directly from the other side of the infected area!

"F*ck!"

"This infected area is soundproof too!"

Initially, they couldn't see through the green mist, and coupled with the soundproofing effect, by the time they saw the terrifying wave of monsters,

Even they, of good character and conduct, couldn't help but curse in shock!

Not only that!

They could clearly see that not only had the empty street in front of them been instantly filled, but also the several hundred meters across the Infection Circle were bursting forth like tidal waves!

The scale of the monster wave was enough to induce despair!

"Damn it! Run!"

They didn't hesitate for a second and bolted!

At this point, who cares about the Abyss Venerable leading a part of his believers to hunt them down!

They too would have to scamper away upon seeing it!

And these monsters, pushing forward, were not facing them but were crazily roaring towards the inside of the monster wave!

They didn't have time to delve into these details!

Only a frantic race away mattered, knowing that these Hunters and Night Demon monsters had been evolving and mutating time and again; each one's speed was entirely different from before!

What they didn't know was,

At the center of this disaster right now in the monster wave, though surrounded and overrun by a multitude of monsters, was indiscernible from the outside.

Su Qi's Ghost Fire Motorcycle was being heavily encircled, a plethora of Ghost Fire forming a protective shield around him.

Any Hunter or Night Demon that lunged at him was melted away by the scorching Ghost Fire.

Yet they continued to hurl themselves towards him in desperate attacks.

"You know, you really shouldn't say," Su Qi said, "I just realized your enthusiasm for me is different from theirs."

Truth be told,

Su Qi had taken a lap or two in the infected area before he ran into Bei Shenxing and the others again.

Truth be told,

These three were rude.

As a probationary intern for The Hustlers Sect and just as he was about to go over and greet them,

The three of them took to their heels.

So disrespectful.

Thus,

He chased; they fled...

Of course, he was only joking; Su Qi simply let them lead the way.

He even deliberately slowed down to match their speed, resulting in him being caught up and swallowed by the monster wave.
