The next day

After a good rest, Wang Hao and Xiaoyueyue set off on their return journey, heading towards the predetermined rest stop.

They relied on Xiaoyueyue's teleportation.

Though they no longer had drones, having a map was almost the same.

Previously, they avoided the bustling areas and chose to skirt around the outskirts.

Now, he chose the bustling city as much as possible. There were more buildings here, which was beneficial for Xiaoyueyue's teleportation jumps.

Their first destination was a large mall.

They planned to replenish some drones and batteries, as well as clothes and other necessities.

After resting there for a day or two, they would continue on.

The second destination was the steel factory.

This time at Purple Gold Mountain, they originally intended to bring back some small animals.

Unexpectedly, so many monsters had invaded, probably devouring all the animals.

Not even allowing them time to mutate.

So, the steel factory became their only hope.

The chickens at the steel factory definitely had to be taken.

Other goods must be taken as well, and then there were the spirit stones Li Qian mentioned.

Those things needed to be brought back for research.

Even if they themselves couldn't use them, they could be traded for items at the settlement camp later.

The settlement camp would surely be interested in such rare and odd things.

As for the people in the steel factory, if Zhao Hu hadn't returned...

Wang Hao wouldn't mind taking them into the villa area.

His villa area was still very short-handed.

The people from the steel factory were cheap labor, and moving from the steel factory to the villa area would be like moving from hell to paradise for them.

He believed not many people would be unwilling.

On the rooftop of a tall building.

Wang Hao and Xiaoyueyue's figures flashed and, after a brief pause, Xiaoyueyue was about to continue teleporting.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A shadow appeared on the ground, taking Wang Hao by surprise. He quickly drew out the Blade of Plunder to defend.

"Clang!"

A clear metallic crash sounded.

The tremendous force made his eyebrows furrow slightly.

He had to use the spiritual power within him to forcibly repel the opponent.

Mantis Monster!

Wang Hao was somewhat shocked!

How could there be a Mantis Monster on this rooftop?

He was perfectly fine on Purple Gold Mountain, so why did it come down?

The reason for deducing the Mantis Monster came down from Purple Gold Mountain and not from outside was simple.

It's still the early stage of the apocalypse; even seeing a level two monster is rare, let alone a level three.

Only the opportunities on Purple Gold Mountain could prompt their rapid evolution!

Of course, that's not the main point.

The main point is that he had scanned the area before, without spotting a Mantis Monster!

This seemed a bit like it was purposely hiding here, waiting for him.

In his momentary stupor, two Heart-Eating Ghosts suddenly leaped out from somewhere.

They launched a frenzied attack on him.

In the past, Wang Hao could have easily slain them.

But now, his spiritual power was greatly depleted, with Xiaoyueyue in his arms and needing to guard against the Mantis Monster, he was forced to retreat continuously back to the iron railing.

The Mantis Monster swung its huge scythes, leaping into the air and slashing down with both blades.

The Heart-Eating Ghosts instantly scattered.

"Clang"

Another metallic crash sounded, and Wang Hao barely parried, his eyebrows furrowing ever tighter.

Goodness, are they really coordinating their attacks?

Just as he prepared to unleash his spiritual power to quickly deal with the Mantis Monster, the Mantis Monster actually jumped aside.

A Muscle Monster charged straight at him.

"Damn it! Shield!"

Wang Hao was startled and quickly summoned a shield with his spiritual power.

"Boom!"

With a loud thud, he felt a sense of weightlessness.

He was sent flying by the Muscle Monster, shield and all.

"Damn it!"

Wang Hao was alarmed, throwing out an iron egg to latch onto the railing, stopping his fall.

At this moment, Xiaoyueyue could finally focus and looked around to find a suitable teleportation point!

"Roar!"

Above, the Mantis Monster jumped directly downwards, blades slashing towards Wang Hao.

"Yueyue, go inside!"

Wang Hao felt his scalp tingle as he reminded.

Xiaoyueyue suddenly realized.

Indeed!

Without a suitable spot outside, they could move inside the building!

The next moment, they appeared inside a room.

Inside, several monsters pounced towards them.

Wang Hao pulled out his gun, and with a few bangs, dealt with them.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Hao looked bewildered!

Why did it feel like he was being targeted?

"Thump, thump, thump, thump."

Footsteps echoed from above.

Wang Hao glanced below and it seemed that the surrounding monsters were also converging here.

There's no going back to the rooftop.

But in here, even with Xiaoyueyue's teleportation range, they couldn't reach the previously chosen teleportation point.

Moreover, his current strength was greatly reduced.

If they were trapped, it would be a big problem.

"Yueyue, let's go down, we'll take the sewer."

Wang Hao took out an emergency plan.

Of course, there were likely many monsters in the sewer as well.

And it was very dark inside, making it extremely dangerous for ordinary people.

However, for superpower users like Wang Hao, it was different.

The sewer had limited space, making it difficult for ordinary monsters to enter.

There was nothing to eat inside, so high-level monsters wouldn't venture there.

Thus, the number of monsters inside would definitely not be as horrifying as those on the surface.

Going through there would be relatively easy and safe!

Except the stench inside was unbearable and the environment was disgusting.

This was why Wang Hao didn't initially choose it.

He only used it as a last resort.
