There was complete silence on the desolate streets.
Uncleaned garbage was everywhere, and abandoned vehicles were strewn across the streets.
The high-rise buildings were empty and deserted. The doors and windows were broken and giving off a cold light.
The faint smell of blood permeated the surrounding air.
The cries of the unknown were high and low, far and near, and they were extremely terrifying.
It was a living scene of Doomsday!
Feng Buhuo dragged his exhausted body and passed by a dilapidated house and a dark underground passage. He returned to a huge abandoned factory.
He was not a native of this world. A month ago, he was mysteriously transported to this world.
When he had just transported to this world, he was covered in injuries. He was lying in a pile of garbage and was on the verge of death.
Just before he fainted and was in a daze, he saw a beautiful woman.
When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had been saved by this woman.
The woman’s name was Leng Hanyan, and she was the same age as him.
After Leng Hanyan’s explanation, Feng Buhuo found out that he had really been transported to an apocalyptic world.
In this world, there used to be an extremely high level of technological civilization, but that had already become a thing of the past.
In the current world, the human race had already declined and was no longer the leader of all races.
All kinds of foreign races had appeared out of nowhere, such as the monsters, the beasts and even the Gods…
All the races had only one final goal, which was to safely survive through the apocalyptic crisis and live on.
However, resources were limited, and limited resources could not sustain a large population of living beings.
Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of survival, the races were constantly in conflict with one another, and wars became frequent.
For the surviving human race, although they did not have their high-tech civilization, the thirst for survival had resulted in the awakening of their supernatural abilities.
Some people could control magic, some people could summon exotic beasts to attack, and some people could transform themselves…
For Leng Hanyan’s case, her superpower was invisibility!
In order to deal with attacks from the foreign races, people scattered all over the world established their own survivor bases.
Leng Hanyan was also a member of the survivor base.
In the base, everyone had to carry out the task of collecting resources.
If Feng Buhuo wanted to obtain the right to survive, even if he didn’t have any superpower, he had to go out and search for resources.
However, for nearly half a month, Feng Buhuo had been searching in vain almost every day.
In the beginning, the people in the base didn’t take it to heart.
However, as time passed, Feng Buhuo was also consuming their resources.
Therefore, many people in the base were starting to get upset about Feng Buhuo.
“Sigh, another day of wasted effort.” Feng Buhuo sighed helplessly. He was so tired and his eyelids were so heavy that he could barely open his eyes.
Standing in front of the factory gates, Feng Buhuo knocked at it a few times, following a pattern. The two gates suddenly opened.
There were over a hundred people gathered within the huge factory building.
When the gates were opened, everyone’s eyes were focused on Feng Buhuo who had just entered.
As expected, he was still empty-handed!
Someone immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, “Feng Buhuo, why did you go out for so long today, and still not get any resources?”
“How long have you been staying here? Do you know how much food was wasted on you?”
Someone mercilessly said, “You are just trying to live off from others, right? A trash like you who doesn’t even have any superpower will just be a burden in any survivor base.”
“Our base will not accept people who are inadequate. Feng Buhuo, tomorrow will be the last day. If you still can’t collect any resources by tomorrow, you will need to leave our Motie Base!”
…
As soon as these words were said, it immediately attracted many voices of agreement.
In this apocalyptic world, sympathy and compassion always had to give way to the desire to survive.
As Feng Buhuo listened to these sounds, it was as if he had sunk into the deep sea. His ears buzzed and his brain was blurry.
He couldn’t refute these people’s words because even he felt that he was too incompetent.
“Don’t worry, they won’t do that.”
A clear and melodious voice sounded in his ear. Feng Buhuo, who seemed as he was about to drown, held on to the voice as if it was like a piece of wooden plank, giving him a moment of breathing space.
Feng Buhuo turned his head around and saw a delicate and pretty face. It was Leng Hanyan.
Leng Hanyan’s eyes were clear, and she smiled at Feng Buhuo. “Everyone will bound to have some complaints, and this is understandable. After all, it’s not easy for anyone.”
“Actually, they’re just a little agitated and saying what’s on their minds. But you have to believe that they are actually good people. They won’t let you fend for yourself.”
“Thank you, Hanyan. I really don’t know…”
Feng Buhuo gave a forced smile. He was very grateful for Leng Hanyan’s comforting words.
However, if his superpower does not awaken, how long would they be able to accept him?
A week, a month, a year… how long will it be?
They will eventually kick him out one day.
He had tried all kinds of methods with the help of Leng Hanyan to awaken his supernatural power, but to no avail.
He didn’t know why he had suddenly transported to this world, nor did he know how he was going to continue down this path.
In this world where tens of thousands of races were competing against one another, a mere human being like himself would only meet his end eventually!
Leng Hanyan seemed to have noticed what Feng Buhuo was worried about, but she could not help him in this matter.
She smiled brightly and said, “Alright, don’t think too much. You have to believe in yourself. Give yourself a little more time and you will find a way!”
“Be happy. You can be happy for a day, but you can also be unhappy for a day. This world is already miserable enough. There’s no need for us to be sad anymore.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. Be happy. You’re right. There will always be a way!” Feng Buhuo let out a long sigh.
Then, he took out two things from his pocket and handed them to Leng Hanyan. “Take these. These are the only things I found.”
Leng Hanyan opened her palm to take a look, and her eyes lit up. “Walnut!”
Feng Buhuo smiled. Seeing Leng Hanyan’s expression, he felt a little relieved.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
Just when the two were about to speak, the alarm suddenly sounded urgently.
“Not good, the Marauders are here. Everyone, get ready for battle!”
Someone shouted.
The entire factory instantly fell into a state of panic.
“Quick, quick, summon beasts in front, and psychics at the back. Get into battle formation!”
Everyone was mobilized and they stood together, staring at the door vigilantly.
Some of the younger people’s legs were trembling non-stop.
Even some of the veterans were sweating profusely.
“Buhuo, quickly hide yourself!” Leng Hanyan put the walnuts into her pocket and urged Feng Buhuo.
“Then you…”
“Don’t worry. You still remember what my superpower is right? They can’t hurt me!”
After saying that, Leng Hanyan smiled at Feng Buhuo, and then her body disappeared into thin air.
Feng Buhuo didn’t hesitate any longer and hurriedly hid in an abandoned car.
The Marauders were brutal. They roamed from place to place, making attacks and raids in search of resources of other groups to survive.
They lived by raiding. They advocated disorder and violence, and they were very ruthless and destructive.
No matter who it was, as long as they had their eyes on them, a fierce battle was bound to happen!
Feng Buhuo didn’t have any special abilities, so he couldn’t fight like the others. If he tried to be brave and intervene, it would only be a brainless act of sending himself to his death!
Just when he had hid himself, he heard a loud bang.
“Bang!”
The two metal doors were knocked over instantly.
A few corpses flew into the building, their deaths miserable!
