Starting the next day, the base's power and communications personnel, under the protection of Da Bai and Qing Yan, continued to work tirelessly to repair the power and communications facilities, hoping to restore contact with the outside world as soon as possible and find more survivors.

The others, except for the elderly and children, all followed behind Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye, splitting into two teams to eliminate the alien beasts and piling up their corpses to burn as a whole.

Chu Wanwan led her people directly to the city center, while Si Mingye led his people to spread outwards from Hope Base. The two teams had clear divisions of labor and the same goal: to eliminate the alien beasts on Earth as soon as possible and rescue the trapped humans.

Chu Wanwan led her team to the city center, which was once a bustling commercial district but had now become a hellish place overrun by monstrous beasts. The glass curtain walls of the skyscrapers had been torn to shreds by the claws and fangs of the beasts, and piles of the beasts killed the day before were scattered on the streets, with a nauseating stench permeating the air.

With a wave of her hand, Chu Wanwan caused all the corpses of the strange beasts to float up and gather in the central square, forming a small mountain of beast corpses.

"Fengque, burn it down!" Chu Wanwan commanded Fengque. Then she reached out and erected a spiritual energy shield for the surrounding buildings and survivors to prevent them from being burned by the high temperature of the Nirvana Fire.

Upon hearing this, Feng Que responded, circled in mid-air, and then unleashed a fierce burst of flames at the pile of corpses, instantly igniting the beast's carcass.

The flames roared, radiating intense heat that scorched the surrounding air. The monstrous beasts that had once threatened human lives were reduced to ashes by the flames, no longer able to pose any threat to humans.

After the corpses were completely burned, Chu Wanwan sent down a rain shower to help cool the remaining ashes in the central square. Then, following the same procedure as yesterday, she began to use the survivors to lure out the monsters.

As the music began to play in the square, a large number of strange beasts began to converge on the central square.

This time, Chu Wanwan didn't wait in the same spot. Instead, she led some armed soldiers and hunters to search for survivors in the surrounding high-rise buildings. After yesterday's mass extermination of the alien beasts, the beasts had become very rare in the high-rise buildings around the square.

Chu Wanwan divided the soldiers and hunters into several small teams, eliminating the remaining monsters building by building. If they encountered a floor with a large number of monsters that they couldn't handle, they would seek her help.

Chu Wanwan sat on the first floor of a building, drinking tea while watching the hordes of strange beasts rushing towards the survivors.

Most of the survivors had never experienced anything like this before, and they were pale with fright and trembling. They huddled together, their eyes filled with terror.

The survivors who had been used as bait yesterday looked relaxed and continued to reassure those who were afraid.

"It's alright, this spiritual energy shield is very sturdy, they can't do anything to us!"

"We're experts at making bait; we did it with Chu Shen yesterday. When we arrived, those countless corpses were the result of our collaboration with Chu Shen!"

"Hey! Why did you wet your pants? Are you such a coward? Pfft! I look down on you!"

"..."

Those who had acted as bait yesterday were now chattering away, radiating a strange sense of superiority, feeling like cranes among chickens among a group of cowards. They had completely forgotten that they, too, had made a fool of themselves as bait yesterday…

Gunshots rang out from nearby buildings; soldiers and hunters were killing the remaining monsters inside. A few survivors remained on some floors, and upon hearing the gunfire, they grabbed whatever they could find and came out to help kill the monsters. Some carried machetes, others large shards of glass, and still others smashed tables and chairs against the monsters' heads.

When they saw the soldiers in camouflage and various other uniforms carrying guns, many of them had tears in their eyes.

Finally, someone came to rescue them; they finally survived...

The battle raged from dawn till dusk, annihilating five waves of monstrous beasts, roughly estimated at around 100,000, and rescuing 1,245 survivors. Most of them were emaciated, ragged, and their eyes revealed the lingering effects of prolonged hunger and fear.

Among them were elderly people and children, but the majority were young people.

Most of the survivors looked as if they had been pulled back from the brink of hell, their faces filled with disbelief and the joy of surviving a catastrophe.

When the last monster was defeated, the entire city center finally fell silent. The survivors, some sitting and some lying down, were escorted by soldiers and slowly made their way to the military trucks.

Looking at the emaciated survivors who were on the verge of death, Chu Wanwan thought to herself, "It seems we need to speed up the search and rescue efforts, otherwise most of the survivors will starve to death before we can rescue them."

"Gods, gods, we beg you, gods, to give us justice!"

Suddenly, a woman in a red dress knelt down in front of Chu Wanwan. As she knelt, several other women stepped forward and followed her, kneeling on the ground.

"We beg the gods to uphold justice for us!"

"I'm begging the gods..."

Chu Wanwan looked over and saw that the women were all rather thin, their eyes filled with determination and pleading. Their clothes were tattered, and their exposed skin bore many scars and bruises.

Some were new wounds, others were old ones. Clearly, they had suffered inhuman abuse in this apocalyptic world…

"Get up and tell me what happened?" Chu Wanwan said gently, reaching out to help the woman in the red dress to her feet.

The woman in the red dress began to recount their ordeal in a trembling voice.

It turns out that they were once members of a small base where several men, taking advantage of their strength, took advantage of them shortly after they joined.

This wouldn't be a big deal, it's the apocalypse! If you want to live, you have to pay the price.

But those men not only took their bodies, but also treated them like slaves, beating them with fists and feet if they disobeyed, and even using all sorts of cruel methods to amuse themselves.

Later, when food was scarce, they were used as reserve food. When their food ran out, they ate the elderly and children in the base, and finally, they picked out the less attractive ones from among these playthings to kill and eat.

"They not only kill and eat people, they force us to eat them too! If we don't eat, we'll be killed! Fairy, those people are demons! Please kill them!"

The woman in the red dress turned her head at this point, giving a sinister look to the group of strong, tall men behind them...
