The long convoy slowly moved through the streets of Shanchuan City, while Lu Chuan and the two others observed the outside situation through the car windows.

Within the city, traces of devastation by fierce beasts could be seen everywhere. The billboards above rows of shops were torn to shreds by some unknown type of flying beasts.

On the car windows of vehicles parked by the street, there were extremely clear claw marks, penetrated through the film on the window and into the interior of the glass...

Meanwhile, on the ground, piles of dark red unidentified substances were seen everywhere, which were the corpses left behind after zombies were slain.

The corpses were crawling with pale maggots, incessantly squirming, utterly disgusting. On some bodies that had not completely decomposed, there were visible lacerations, seemingly torn by claws.

In this vast graveyard of zombies, other skeletal remains of fierce beasts could occasionally be seen, almost identical in condition, emitting a strong odor of decay.

At this moment, the entire convoy seemed to have entered a world filled with a suffocating stench.

The nauseating stench stubbornly seeped into the vehicle through the crevices, causing Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin in the backseat to wrinkle their brows almost simultaneously.

It was so foul that Zhao Lin couldn't help but recall the time before the apocalypse when she was on a mission in the countryside using a rural toilet, the smell...

Just then, a series of roars echoed from the junction ahead.

"Woof Woof Woof~"

With a series of footsteps, a pack of mutated giant dogs burst from the junction, each with shoulders nearly two meters high, their fur sleek and shiny, muscles knotted, very robust.

At this moment, these beasts, eyes bloodthirsty, revealed rows of sharp white teeth, barking wildly at the convoy.

The next moment, twenty or more of these mutated giant dogs, like flashes of lightning, swiftly charged at the slowly moving convoy.

Whoosh!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Chuan appeared calm and collected, his mind stirred.

Lightning One and other agile evolved corpse puppets jumped directly from the convoy, with speed fast enough to blur, crashing into the pack of giant dogs before they reached the convoy, wielding steel claws that tore through the air, whistling piercingly, gleaming coldly again and again.

The slaughter officially commenced, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew, tendons severed and bones broken, the pack of dogs howling terribly without end.

In just a brief moment, the battlefield in front of the convoy fell completely silent, the ground littered with massive carcasses, exuding a strong scent of blood.

Soon after, Lightning One and other evolved corpse puppets swiftly extracted all the crystal cores from the bodies of these mutated giant dogs.

Then, they quickly returned to the convoy.

Without a moment's pause, the convoy slowly rolled over some of the giant dogs' remains.

In the ensuing time, the convoy was frequently attacked by fierce beasts that emerged from various places along the streets, but Lu Chuan easily dealt with them.

Mostly because these fierce beasts were not very powerful, at most third-tier, and any evolved corpse puppet under Lu Chuan could fight a bunch of them.

"Not only are there no Evolvers in this city, presumably hiding away, but how come there's not even a single zombie?"

Observing everything outside the car, Lu Chuan suddenly had this question arise in his mind after some time.

For such a long time, he only saw fierce beasts rampant, with traces everywhere, as if Shanchuan City had already become the territory of fierce beasts.

Looking at the zombie corpses scattered along the way, a flash of insight suddenly appeared in Lu Chuan's mind, and he was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that all the Evolvers and zombies within Shanchuan City were wiped out by these mutated fierce beasts?

Thinking about it, Lu Chuan considered this quite a possibility.

Shanchuan City was originally built among mountains, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, very suitable for tourism and health preservation. However, there were advantages, and naturally disadvantages too.

And that is because of its location, wild beasts from the mountains often strayed into the city, causing some chaos.

And now, the situation in Shanchuan City clearly showed that mutated fierce beasts from the surrounding mountain ranges had entered the urban area in large numbers, even eventually living in the city, turning Shanchuan City into a part of the continuous mountain range.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed. Originally, he had hoped to harvest a large number of zombie crystal cores when he reached Shanchuan City.

Now, it seemed completely hopeless, as all those crystal cores had already been snatched up by these damned beasts.

"Damn it, could it be that Shanchuan City has really been occupied by a bunch of beasts?"

It wasn't just Lu Chuan who discovered this situation; Zhao Lin, who had been constantly observing the outside world, also noticed, speaking with surprise on her face.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, these zombies must have been killed by these fierce beasts. The number of fierce beasts within Shanchuan City must be very large!"

Beside them, Ji Ruxue timely reminded the two.

Although Shanchuan City's size was relatively small compared to other cities in Jiang Province, before the apocalypse, the population living here was at least several hundred thousand.

And those transformed into zombies would surely be a large number. The fact that these fierce beasts were able to clear out all the zombies means their numbers probably wouldn't be small either.

Soon, the convoy stopped at the entrance of a high-end neighborhood.

Haoyun District!

Lu Chuan glanced at the name of the neighborhood, planning to rest here with Little Qiqi and Zhao Lin.

Bang~

The electric gate was smashed open by a mutated giant turtle, and the convoy drove straight in.

Along the neighborhood's path, it slowly drove towards the nearest building number twelve.

At this time, in a room on the eighth floor of building number thirteen ahead, an evolved zombie about the size of a normal person, wrapped in a layer of light scale armor, was swinging its sharp claws, which glistened coldly.

The evolved zombie was wandering aimlessly inside this empty room.

But suddenly, the evolved zombie paused its movement, as if it sensed some terrifying aura rapidly approaching.

Instantly, its seemingly emaciated body began to tremble uncontrollably, in extreme panic, those blood-red eyes seemed to harbor a look of fear.

Roar~

Letting out a low roar of terror, the evolved zombie suddenly leapt from the window of the room.

The next moment, a sound piercing the air was heard, as the evolved zombie unfurled a pair of broad black-scaled wings, giving a fierce flap, creating gusts of wind, and its body flew away at great speed, leaving only a black dot in the sky within moments.

Hearing the commotion, Lu Chuan looked over, momentarily stunned, then a gleam appeared in his eyes.

It was actually a flying zombie!
