But when did he disappear?
So far, we haven't heard any strange noises or noticed anything unusual. Everything is proceeding normally.
"Fatty? Fatty!"
Old Zhang shouted twice more, but fear weighed heavily on his heart, and he dared not make a loud sound. After the two shouts, there was still no response.
The atmosphere inexplicably became eerie.
If the fat man died because the infection from a wound on his leg caused bacterial growth, which then spread to his entire body and led to ulceration, then the fat man would definitely have made a scream or something similar.
In reality, as the mutation progresses, the physical condition of ordinary people also changes, and they will no longer be corroded by bacteria in a short period of time.
If that's the case, where did the fat guy go?
A healthy person weighing over 200 pounds just vanished into thin air!
Wang Lan suddenly felt a slight breeze. He immediately realized the problem and quickly pulled Sun Muchen to his side, while reminding Lao Zhang, "This wind is strange, Lao Zhang, be careful..."
However, Wang Lan realized his mistake halfway through his sentence and tentatively called out, "Old Zhang! Old Zhang?"
“He’s gone…” Sun Muchen said. “He disappeared without a trace.”
She clung tightly to Wang Lan, completely panicked. She felt a terrifying aura surrounding her, making her tremble all over.
"You figured it out, didn't you, bro!"
Sun Muchen said to Wang Lan, "It must be a ghost!"
"What nonsense!" Wang Lan retorted with a single sentence, then her voice suddenly rose, "I think it's clearly someone faking it..."
Before he could even utter the word "ghost," he felt a fierce and sharp gust of wind blowing in his face, accompanied by a whistling sound.
An overwhelming sense of oppression swept over him, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him, rendering Wang Lan unable to move for a moment. His brows furrowed immediately, but his body remained completely still.
That makes sense. The series of battles had already pushed his physical strength to its limit, and the food supply had not kept up at all. Especially for Wang Lan, who was a major fighting force, it was truly remarkable that he had managed to hold on until now.
But limits are not infinite. When the thought of dodging arose in Wang Lan's mind, his body suddenly began to tremble. Although it was pitch black in front of him, he could feel a distinct dizziness.
But at that moment, Wang Lan felt a pair of strong hands reach out from behind. One hand gripped his neck, while the other hand stretched out and tightened its hold on him, lifting him up abruptly.
At that moment, Sun Muchen's shout rang out, "Brother... Ugh!!!"
But after only one shout, it was as if something had covered his mouth.
Wang Lan was extremely anxious and was about to shout when a deep, gruff voice rang in his ears, yelling, "Shut up!"
At the same time, the arm that was choking Wang Lan tightened its grip, the immense force causing Wang Lan to gasp for breath, let alone speak. Not to be outdone, Wang Lan opened his mouth and bit down on the arm.
The voice suddenly shouted!
"grass!"
The next moment, the wind howled, and Wang Lan felt the temperature around him drop to freezing point in an instant. Then, he felt a huge object crash into him. He coughed up blood, and the force sent him and the person holding him flying.
At the same time, different voices rose from the surrounding area.
"Ignore them! Ignore them!"
"The prey has gone mad!"
"Everyone, move out! Let's attack together!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of chains swinging rang out, a particularly jarring clang, followed closely by shouts of charging forward.
In the darkness, the sounds of fighting and battle immediately rang out.
Wang Lan reacted instantly.
He's a hunter!
Wang Lan wasn't the only hunter in the safe zone; there were actually many.
Although some hunters are selected to enter the final fortress after each eternal night, this does not prevent people from joining the ranks of hunters every year.
Becoming a hunter is difficult; some people die on their first hunt.
But those who truly deserve the title of "hunter" are all experts in this safe zone.
Or perhaps it's to develop strong physical abilities in preparation for the final selection for the fortress.
Or perhaps it's so they can have fresh meat to eat, instead of eating wild vegetables, gnawing on tree bark, or chewing on large biscuits and grains.
And then...
A person who seeks thrills!
There is no shortage of idle people in any era. Even in this chaotic world, there is a small group of people who seek thrills and violence.
These hunters possess formidable strength and revel in the thrill of carnage. They even set up their hunting grounds outside the safe zone, using only a few thin, sturdy steel cables to traverse the border walls and hunt wild animals outside the safe zone.
Now, with the arrival of eternal night and the rampant spread of infectious viruses, the danger has increased dramatically. It seems that these hunters have united together.
A crisp "snap" sound rang out.
A beam of light the size of a fist shot out from behind. Wang Lan turned around and saw a burly man getting up from the ground. He was carrying various weapons, including long knives and broken blades, and wore a white spotlight on his head, as well as a pair of glasses with dark green lenses.
He was dressed in the typical attire of a hunter.
The man glanced at Wang Lan, took off his glasses, chuckled, and said, "Heh... to save you guys, we almost lost our lives."
