Shen Lanzhou didn't want to know the origins of these monsters, their existence forms, their past, etc.

The question she was concerned about was—

Will it affect me? Will it become my enemy? Can I defeat it?

The answer to the question has already emerged in her mind and has already affected her. Does it count if the enemy has taken away her [Nephalem] from Shi Meng?

As for whether or not I can win...

Hit me on the head!

The lowest-class Shoggoths among them are monsters that can easily massacre a city.

If Shen Lanzhou killed them one by one, he would probably die of exhaustion.

Why the hell is this happening...

Shen Lanzhou rubbed her hair irritably. The involuntary panic and fear of the unknown almost overwhelmed her.

[Detecting that the SAN value has returned to 0, the firewall function is automatically enabled...]

It's a rubbish system. It automatically disappears when it encounters a tough guy, and then jumps out again to show its presence after the task is completed.

It seems that you are also afraid.

Fear…fear…fear…

"I've had a doubt for a long time." Shen Lanzhou looked at Lily.

"?"

Lily, who was struggling with the barbecue in front of her and had her mouth full of grease, looked up at her in confusion.

The mice around her, each holding a piece of meat and eating it with relish, also raised their heads and looked at the girl sitting by the window with her chin supported.

"After being parasitized by an amoeba and having its brain eaten, is the consciousness that dominates the body the amoeba that devoured the host's brain, or the host itself?"

"I'm not going there!" Lily showed a clear and stupid look.

"Do you still feel sad when you recall the death of your parents?"

Shen Lanzhou tilted his head and asked the question about tearing people's scars as if nothing had happened.

"Sister, you are such a beast to ask such a question."

Lily looked at her speechlessly, but still recalled the scene.

She curled up in a corner, listening to her mother's wails and her father's heartbreaking roars, watching those terrifying adults gathered in a circle, laughing and saying obscene words that made her sick just thinking about them...

Lily! Eat it! Live!

This is what my father said before he was cut open.

Tick-tock——

The wet and salty liquid fell and dripped onto the table in front of Lily. Only then did she realize that her cheeks were already wet.

"Sister, I'm so sad."

"These... I'm sorry."

It no longer mattered who Lily was or what she was. Because she already possessed intellect, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire, she was no longer a "monster."

As long as one possesses intelligence and emotions, when faced with indescribable things, the body will be devoured by fear before the mind, followed by a mental breakdown.

So

Can stones be afraid?

Do tables, chairs and benches have intelligence?

Does the sanity aura surrounding those indescribable beings have any effect on these inanimate objects?

Perhaps, possessing intellect and wisdom is the greatest curse that this world has on human beings.

Blind and foolish

In an instant, Shen Lanzhou seemed to have grasped something.

For some reason, the huge rock pressing on my heart was quietly lifted, as if a clear road appeared in front of me.

"I see... I'm gradually understanding everything."

"elder sister?"

Shen Lanzhou reached out and touched Lily's head: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"OK!"

Shanhai City was originally a famous internet-famous tourist city. Even after the Red Light Doomsday broke out and the original order collapsed, the streets and buildings here still have a unique flavor.

The pedestrians on the streets with various animal-like features give people the illusion of stepping into another world.

"Wild boar meat! Wild boar meat! One F-grade crystal core weighs one pound!"

"The Fang Mercenary Group is hiring! 9-to-5, two days off, great benefits! Salary negotiable!"

"Ginseng! Ginseng! Very nutritious! Very nutritious!"

"My pangolin scales! They're aphrodisiacs! They're powerful! They're incredibly strong! If you're interested, you can buy them anytime in the alleyway at Weijian. They're completely confidential, no cheating!"

On both sides of the street, all kinds of people are hawking their wares, making this place extremely lively.

Lily was dazzled by the bustling streets. Holding Shen Lanzhou's hand, her eyes sparkling, she looked around curiously, and from time to time she pulled Shen Lanzhou and clamored to buy things.

Shen Lanzhou had no objection to this, and like an old father doting on his daughter, he bought her whatever she wanted. Later, the situation evolved into holding the baby in one hand and carrying a large pile of things in the other.

It seems that the leisurely attitude before the end of the world has become an alien on the street.

Passersby looked at her in surprise, but no one was stupid enough to rush forward and cause trouble.

There are four types of people you should never mess with: monks, the elderly, women, and children. These two people directly occupy two of them. Their clothes are neat and clean, and their expressions are relaxed and calm. They might be tough guys.

Even if you have an idea, you should wait for others to test the waters before considering it.

The further you go in, the more crowded the crowd becomes.

But Shen Lanzhou could always find the right gap and pass through it easily like a fish.

A thin figure rushed towards her, but Shen Lanzhou dodged sideways without even looking, causing the other party to fall down.

A red-faced macaque lay on the ground, glared at Shen Lanzhou fiercely, then got up from the ground and disappeared into the crowd.

Shen Lanzhou didn't care. Crowded and chaotic places were a paradise for pickpockets. She had experienced enough in the ten years of the apocalypse.

If she had not just arrived and was not familiar with the situation of the Shanhai City base, and it was not appropriate for her to be too conspicuous, she would have cut off one of the other person's arms as the price for the offense.

Leaving the main road with heavy traffic, Shen Lanzhou came to an alley.

In the shadows, a hooded figure leaned against the wall, looking at Shen Lanzhou and Lily as they came in.

Shen Lanzhou looked at her: "News dealer?"

The hooded man smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "You've finally found the right person. As long as you have enough crystal cores, there's nothing in Shanhai City that I don't know."

A dark figure flashed by, and a heavy bag was thrown towards him. The hooded man instinctively reached out to catch it, but the weight of it caused his center of gravity to shift forward, causing his arm to drop.

He weighed the bag in his hand. Wow, it was quite heavy, at least ten pounds. How many animals had to be killed?

This outsider must be no ordinary person, as he spends such a large sum of money without blinking an eye.

It would be fun if anyone was fooled by this seemingly harmless appearance and did something stupid.

"What news do you want to know?"

Faced with the generous sponsor, the information dealers became enthusiastic and flattering.

"Maps, monsters, the situation inside the base... Never mind, just tell me everything you know. Written information would be even better."

"Sure, sure! We have everything! Please wait a moment~"

He turned around and went into a hidden door deep in the alley. Soon he took out a thick notebook: "All my information is here!"

This is a lie. There are some other big figures whose dirty laundry is hidden elsewhere. If that were exposed, he would surely be shot 38 times in the back and commit suicide.
