In a nearby high-rise building, a group of men and women carrying long guns were looking out through the building's glass windows. These people were hunters in the city, among the few human survivors who were still fighting against the alien beasts.
They were stunned to witness Si Mingye and Chu Wanwan annihilate the entire area of strange beasts in an instant.
"My God, who are those two people? Could their powers be the kind of superpowers described in novels? Has someone in our world awakened superpowers?" A young man exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"What superpower? Yang Hao, stop reading novels. They're all unrealistic fantasies. If there were any superpowered individuals, they would have awakened long ago. It wouldn't be like we've waited until almost all of humanity is wiped out before two such powerful superpowered individuals appear." An older woman glared at the young man and said irritably.
"Sister Liu, then who do you think they are? Ordinary people can't kill so many monsters with a wave of their hand. And those black flames even melted the nearby steel bars. How could that be the power of a normal human? What else could it be but superhumans?" The young man called Yang Hao retorted unwillingly.
"Could they be beings living in a higher dimension? Those four-dimensional or even higher-dimensional beings? Because we cannot understand or imagine their existence, they seem like gods to us," another hunter, a middle-aged man, said thoughtfully.
"Compared to the unrealistic fantasy of superpower awakening, I'm more inclined to Dr. Chen's explanation. Those two are very likely higher-dimensional beings, and the appearance they present may not be their true form. They could very well be illusions based on our human appearance."
As Liu Xin pondered, he frowned and continued, "However, no matter who they are, they are our last hope. We must go to them and ask for their help."
"Go find them? But we can't be sure if they're benevolent or malevolent. If they want to conquer Earth, then we might end up like those alien beasts, burned to ashes by those two!"
Dr. Chen waved his hand, indicating that such behavior was not feasible.
“We have no way out. Food at the base is becoming increasingly scarce. If we don’t find a way, we will all starve to death. Rather than waiting to die here, we should look for a glimmer of hope. Even if they are malicious, the worst outcome is still death.” Liu Xin looked at Dr. Chen and the others with a determined gaze.
A silence fell over the crowd; they knew Liu Xin was telling the truth. In this apocalyptic world, survival had become increasingly difficult. The appearance of those two people might truly be their last hope.
“Okay, let’s go find them.” Finally, Dr. Chen broke the silence and made the decision.
So the group of human hunters began to act. They threw a rope ladder, hundreds of meters long, out of the building's window, and more than twenty men and women dressed in various clothes climbed down the ladder bit by bit.
Because of the power outage, the building's elevators had long been out of service. To prevent the monsters from climbing onto their base, the stairwells on the 29th and 30th floors had been sealed off with cement. Now, the only exit for the entire building is the window on the 30th floor.
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye were strolling leisurely after eliminating the strange beasts.
Suddenly, Chu Wanwan saw a group of people climbing down a long rope ladder from a window of a building not far away. She pointed there curiously and said, "Si Mingye, look over there, it looks like people are climbing down."
Si Mingye looked in the direction Chu Wanwan was pointing and raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems there are still survivors in this city."
As the two were talking, a scream suddenly rang out, and a figure fell from the rope ladder, plummeting straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Wanwan leaped forward, swiftly approaching the falling figure like a gust of wind. She stretched out her arms, caught the person steadily, and gave them a proper "princess carry."
Yang Hao's foot slipped, and he felt his entire body plummeting towards the ground. He thought to himself, "It's over," and a wave of despair washed over him. However, at that critical moment, he suddenly felt a gentle force supporting him, and his descent slowed instantly.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself being held securely in the arms of a beautiful woman in a "princess carry".
The woman was dressed in ancient costume, with an elegant and beautiful appearance, like a fairy who had stepped out of a classical painting. Her eyes were clear as water, revealing a sense of calm and detachment, while the smile on her lips was like the warm sun in spring, warm and serene.
Yang Hao was momentarily stunned; he had never seen such beauty and temperament in his life.
He felt his heart pounding.
He stared at Chu Wanwan, momentarily forgetting where he was and the dangerous situation he had just been in.
He felt himself falling for her...
"Are you alright?" Chu Wanwan put the man down and found him staring at her blankly like a fool. Thinking that the man had been frightened into a stupor, she asked.
"N-nothing! Thank...thank you..." Yang Hao quickly took two steps back, scratching his head awkwardly, his cheeks slightly flushed, his heart still racing. He tried to calm himself down, but the woman in front of him was like a magnet, making it difficult for him to look away.
Seeing this, Chu Wanwan smiled slightly. This man's reaction was quite interesting.
Si Mingye frowned as he watched Chu Wanwan land on the ground carrying a handsome young man who was staring at her with adoration.
His gaze towards the boy was icy cold...
Yang Hao felt Si Mingye's icy gaze, turned his head, and saw a tall and aloof man dressed in black scrutinizing him with eyes as deep as a cold pool.
That gaze revealed not only coldness, but also an indescribable majesty and unfathomable depth.
Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat. He realized that this man named Si Mingye was not someone easy to approach.
"Um, my name is Yang Hao. Thank you for saving me," Yang Hao said again, trying to ease the sudden tension. He tried to keep his voice steady, but his inner panic was hard to hide.
He was truly afraid that this man might dislike him and burn him to ashes...
Si Mingye did not respond immediately, but slowly shifted his gaze from Yang Hao to Chu Wanwan, saying, "Men and women should not touch each other. In the future, when you save people, just keep an eye on her!"
