The man's hand on his teammate loosened and fell limply.

Silently telling of his death.

The teammates around him cried in disbelief and held his hands tightly. Wang Lingqi had not given up yet, even though the healing ability she released was getting weaker and weaker.

Ren Feng looked at the little octopus with a sour mood.

Chen Zui had no other choice. His healing ability was not stronger than Wang Lingqi's. No one could save the other party from this condition. His death was already certain.

The only sound left at the entrance of the health center was crying.

Finally, a teammate grabbed Wang Lingqi's hand and said, "No, thank you."

Wang Lingqi almost fainted and dropped his hand unable to hold on.

Wu Meilin stepped forward, and her teammates looked at her. The captain took a deep breath and said, "Leader, he is..."

"His name is Ji Ran."

Wu Meilin spoke, her voice a little hoarse. She knew everyone here and remembered that she looked at Ji Ran's young face, a face that would never have the chance to age, and died at the age when he should have been the most brilliant.

She called out Ji Ran's name, and her teammates were stunned for a moment before their tears began to flow even more violently.

Wu Meilin reached out and adjusted the red cloth tied around Ji Ran's arm. "Accompany him on his final journey. Tomorrow we will send him to a world without monsters."

——

Hu Xue found Wang Lingqi in the corner of the backyard of the health center. The little girl was squatting on the ground, hugging her legs, burying her head in her knees, her shoulders shaking with crying.

She went over and put a coat on the little girl.

Wang Lingqi raised his head and saw that it was her. He could no longer hold back and threw himself into her arms and burst into tears.

"Sister Xiaoxue, I'm useless, I'm useless, I couldn't save him..."

Hu Xue held back her tears and patted Wang Lingqi gently. Apart from her teammates, the one who blamed herself the most was probably Wang Lingqi. Her mother was a doctor and she once said: If you want to be a doctor, the first thing you have to learn to face is death.

"You tried your best."

Everyone could see that she had tried her best, and her expression hadn't even recovered until now. No one blamed her, but instead felt sorry for her for letting her face this kind of thing.

Hu Xue hugged Wang Lingqi, but before she could say another word of comfort, someone shouted Wang Lingqi's name and asked her for treatment. Wang Lingqi couldn't even let herself be sad. The little girl immediately wiped her tears and ran back with swollen eyes.

“Here I come!”

Hu Xue looked at Wang Lingqi's back as he ran away. As an ordinary person, she could contribute very little to this world.

Her former confidence was about to be defeated.

She wanted to do more...

——

Chen Zui and Ren Feng did nothing that night.

The coming of night increased the depression.

Chen Zui looked at the depressed Ren Feng and asked, "Have you been alone all this way?"

Ren Feng shook his head. No, he had formed a team with others before, but the endings were not very good. Either there were conflicts due to personality differences in the team, or there were conflicts over supplies. Although some people died in the process, the feeling was very different from today, even though he did not know Ji Ran.

He didn't like that kind of environment and finally left the team, until he met Little Octopus, Hu Xue and the others, Chen Zui, and finally came here.

Ren Feng sighed. "Honestly, before the monsters appeared, I found life very boring. Sometimes I felt that humans were the cancer of this world. Occasionally, I even thought about destroying everything. Anyway, it was pretty boring to just work every day."

It was rare for him to talk so much at once, so Chen Zui just listened quietly.

The little octopus lay on Ren Feng's legs, rested its round head on his hand, and stuck close to him obediently.

“Then the world turned out like this.”

Ren Feng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his head lowering and his voice getting lower and lower: "It would be great if no one died again."

Chen Zui hugged him and patted him on the shoulder.

Aotian has been very silent recently, as if he was afraid to ask him about everyone's ending. The ominous premonition became heavier in Chen Zui's heart.

——

The next day, as the sun rose, they cremated Ji Ran outside the town.

Hundreds of people could only hear the intermittent crying. After the funeral, everyone returned to their seats and continued the new day.

Wu Meilin stood in front of the psychics who were about to go on a mission. "According to everyone's reports, there are a lot more monsters. Today, the two teams will be combined into one to carry out the mission. If the monsters continue to increase, everyone should return first."

Cars drove out one after another.

Chen Zui is not farming today. After the farming is done, what he has to do today is to organize the supplies collected by everyone in the warehouse.

He carried a bag of clothes and walked towards the back row of shelves: [Aotian, can I exchange the reward for successfully completing this world mission for other rewards?]

Aotian: [There has never been such an example.]

Chen Zui: [Perhaps we can make an exception and be a pioneer. How unique! You are the only one who has done this among so many systems.]

Aotian: [I can tell you're trying to trick me.]

Chen Zui: [How could I possibly fool you with our relationship? I'm really sad that you said that. Even the bookstore system never said that to me.]

Aotian:!

How could it lose to the bad guys in the bookstore!

"There are still so many monsters." Hu Yue had just dealt with a monster, and everyone's faces were solemn. This situation was really not right. They still hadn't left the area they had searched. They had even killed a lot of monsters here yesterday, but more monsters appeared here overnight.

It's as if monsters are gathering here.

Ren Feng shuddered at the thought. Could it be that the sheer number of humans here had attracted the monsters' attention? They lingered for a while, killing a few more, and could vaguely see them approaching from a distance.

Hu Yue: "It seems like they are heading this way."

Ren Feng: "Let's go back first."

If this is true, they need to report this situation to Wu Meilin. If they are really attracted by too many humans, more and more humans will gather here, which will attract more and more monsters.

It will be completely detrimental to their outward development and growth, but if humans want to survive, they cannot disperse and fight alone.

What a troublesome contradiction.

Everyone was ready to get in the car and go back without hesitation when the ground suddenly shook. Gao Qiang, who had just opened the car door, stopped and squinted his eyes to look into the distance: "What, what is that?"

He pointed forward.

A huge gray monster appeared behind the building. At first, Gao Qiang thought it was the sky in the distance, but it was not. It was just that the monster was too big. It did not avoid the building in front of it at all. It continued to move forward. Just by raising its foot, it was taller than the more than ten-story building and stepped on the building with one foot.

The ground shook again.

The huge impact brought by such a monster made everyone stunned in place for a moment, staring intently, looking up, and raising their sights higher and higher, trying to see the monster's head.

Very high.

The head pressed against the clouds, breaking them into pieces. The thing that looked like a head had no facial features, but was just a big round ball with many raised lumps of flesh on it.

The lump of flesh kept throbbing, as if something inside was about to burst out, and the blood vessels on the epidermis were densely packed and very clear.

The monster was huge and could move a long distance with each step forward. The shaking on their side became stronger and stronger, and the little octopus was even shocked and jumped off Ren Feng's shoulder.

Ren Feng: "Hu Yue, drive back and report this matter."

Everyone looked at him, and the rest of the people came to their senses and understood why only one person was allowed to go back. They had to stop the monster, otherwise it would reach the town soon.

There is no point in choosing Hu Yue, as she is the youngest among them.

Young people must always live as long as possible so that there is hope for the future of mankind.

Hu Yue: "I..."

Gao Qiang pushed her into the car and said, "Don't waste time. Go back and report. We may need support here."

Hu Yue jumped out of the car: "It should be faster for me to fly back."

She controlled the wind to wrap herself up and disappeared from everyone in the blink of an eye. The wind she created slowly fell, and the sunset in the distant sky was as red as blood.

Ren Feng: "Let's go forward."

As soon as he said this, everyone even breathed softly. The meaning was simple: move forward and stop the monster as far away from the town as possible.

Zhang Chuanshan took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep puff: "Good idea, young people have good brains."

He acted lighthearted.

Everyone smiled in agreement. The captain of the other team said, "Let's compete to see who gets there first."

He patted the car generously and said: "Those who arrive later will have to treat us later."

The two words "future" are probably the best wishes if they have a future.

Everyone bumped fists with each other and said nothing more.

The two cars drove towards the huge monster at a high speed, raising a cloud of dust.

Compared to the size of the monster, they look like two toy cars.

Hu Yue was eager to go home, but she always felt that she was not going fast enough and prayed that nothing would happen to everyone.

Wu Meilin was in the field, and the psychic beside him was ripening the rice.

the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, these rice fields will produce golden ears of wheat, which will help the people here survive the coming winter.

Wu Meilin looked up at the sky. The red sunset tonight made him feel uneasy.

"Leader! Something! Something happened!"

Wu Meilin turned his head suddenly.

Hu Yue gasped for breath and spoke with difficulty about the monster. She was so tired that she almost collapsed.

Wu Meilin immediately sent out half of the town's superpowers: "The important thing is to bring the people back."

And declared the entire town to be on alert.

Hu Yue did not rest and got in the car and set off with the team. Hu Xue, who heard the news, ran from the health station to the exit, but only saw the car driving away, but did not see Hu Yue.

Kang Haiqing: "It will be fine, go back first."

Hu Xue was worried.

It was not until Chen Zui came and found her that she followed Chen Zui and left.

The people in the town were praying for everyone. Su He mingled with the others, his eyes gloomy. He hoped that everyone here would die.

His eyes flashed and met Li Yi's in the crowd.

Su He suddenly clenched his hands into fists.

Li Yi laughed, shook the crutch in his hand forward, and then turned his head to look for Hu Xue.

Before night fell, the entire sky turned blood red, as if blood would flow out in the next second and dye the earth red.

"Die!"

Zhang Chuanshan shouted and controlled the ice cone to shoot towards the monster's head.

The monster waved its hand and all the ice cones were shattered without even leaving a trace on its skin.

"What's this?"

The team of psychics heading in another direction looked at the huge monster.

Subconsciously stepped back.

The leader shouted, "We can't retreat! We can't let it get to the town!"
