Let's rewind a few minutes.
In a restaurant specifically for ghost hunters, Xia Tianqiong and Wu Yu sat in a private room, with a large round table laden with various dishes.
"This roast duck is great, perfectly balanced between salty and sweet, and not greasy at all. You should try some!"
Xia Tianqiong picked up a piece of golden-brown roasted duck meat, dipped it in sweet bean sauce, wrapped it in a thin pancake, and then stuffed it all into her mouth.
The aroma of soy sauce and meat, mixed with a hint of sweetness, instantly stimulated all the taste buds.
Wu Yu sat opposite him, eating with him, but he seemed somewhat reserved.
As they ate and chatted, Xia Tianqiong gained some understanding of the current situation in the human world through Wu Yu's account and the information she had just heard from the hanged ghost.
At this time, the world was in dire straits.
Spatial rifts are increasing in number, and the number of bizarre phenomena is skyrocketing.
Previously, there were relatively few supernatural beings of the level of "evil spirit" or "supernatural being," but now even "fierce spirit" is quite common, and occasionally one can even see "terrifying spirit."
As for the treacherous generals, it is said that several have appeared throughout the country.
But how many exactly? Where are they? Few people know.
Because everyone who knew was dead.
The population has plummeted in various places, the number of dead and injured is incalculable, and some small towns have even become ghost towns, with only eeriness and no human beings.
However, at the same time, the number of Ghost Hunters is also increasing rapidly, and their strength is growing as more and more bizarre things happen.
With the increasing number of ghost hunters, the ability to resist the supernatural is also becoming stronger. Logically speaking, people's lives should not be too difficult.
But the reality is not like that.
Early on, when the strange phenomenon first appeared, various local groups established parks to house people. At that time, things were relatively peaceful, and no one could resist.
However, as the number of ghost hunters increased, so did the number of various factions and gangs, both large and small.
They often fight each other over population, territory, and even over strange things.
Human suffering comes not only from the bizarre, but also from our fellow human beings.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. One day, an organization called the Survivors Mutual Aid Alliance suddenly appeared.
They invited forces from various regions to join them.
The invitation method is also very simple: directly find the largest local power group, provide them with money and manpower to violently subdue other smaller power groups.
On this condition, they were allowed to join Xinglian and accept supervision from Xinglian personnel.
If this force dares to renege on its promise afterward, the consequences will be dire.
In this way, it didn't take long for Xinglian to absorb most of the forces in various places, leaving only a few small teams that were unwilling to submit, which they also looked down upon.
The reason it was able to happen so quickly is because there were already ancient families in various places.
Many local forces were originally supported by them, so it was natural for them to quickly incorporate them.
From this perspective, Xinglian is doing a good deed, at least reducing infighting among humans and allowing them to focus on fighting the supernatural, thus securing a chance for survival for more people.
But their initial intention in doing good deeds was actually to commit even greater evils.
In their eyes, there is only themselves; local powers and ordinary people are nothing more than resources to be exploited.
While Xia Tianqiong and Wu Yu were having dinner, a number of strange things suddenly appeared in the center of Wanhe City.
There were thousands of them, and they killed anyone they saw.
They kill them but don't eat them; they just throw them by the roadside.
In an instant, cries and pleas for help echoed throughout the city.
Wanhe City once had a population of one million, but after these years of apocalypse, there are now fewer than two hundred thousand survivors, all crammed into a small area in the city center.
The reason for such close proximity is to facilitate management and rescue efforts.
There are ghost hunters patrolling the city 24 hours a day, and under normal circumstances, a few strange occurrences will not cause many casualties among the people.
But this time, more than a thousand strange creatures suddenly appeared, including several fierce and numerous malevolent creatures, while the rest were all evil creatures, with very few even being powerful or wild creatures.
This level of skill is comparable to that of a group of ghost hunters in a big city.
There are only three or four thousand ghost hunters in Wanhe City. The most powerful one is Wei Tingchuan, who has a fierce ghost. Most of the others have contracts with evil ghosts or ghosts of lower levels.
With such limited strength, they suffered heavy casualties upon first contact and then fled without daring to resist.
"Help! Someone, please help us!"
"Why are so many strange things suddenly appearing? Are they trying to kill us all?"
"Where are the usually aloof and powerful ghost hunters? Why aren't they here to save us?"
Many people are staying in their upstairs rooms and haven't been killed by the mysterious force yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Once the bizarre army has finished killing the civilians on the ground, they will then proceed to attack building by building.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Everyone wait a minute! I just saw the professional 'Ghost Fighter' in Wanhe City. He'll definitely make a move."
"The professional 'Ghostly' actor? That guy who used to be famous online? What good is he all by himself!"
"He's very strong. I just saw him destroy the evil spirit in one move. As long as he makes a move, we'll definitely be saved."
"But who knows where he is now? Go and tell him quickly, something strange has entered my building."
People peered out of their windows, watching the horrific scene below, filled with shock and panic.
Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of hope. If that person can intervene, there might still be a chance to save them.
In the chaotic streets, Wei Tingchuan was fleeing for his life.
He had just received a call from a senior executive at Xinglian, who had agreed to let Xia Tianqiong join. He was about to go to them when he suddenly encountered a large number of strange things.
Given his fear of death, he didn't even try; he simply turned around and ran.
As I was running, it suddenly occurred to me that the "ga gui" professional was supposed to be very impressive and good at pretending, right?
