There weren't just endless grave mounds.

There were also endless rotting figures.

These figures emitted an extremely strong smell of earth, as if they had just crawled out of their graves.

Each of these people had a different expression on their faces.

Some had smiling faces sewn on with needle and thread, while others had crying faces.

And some had no expression at all.

Faced with this situation.

Chen Ye's first reaction was to retreat!

As for saving people...

Don't joke around, even if he could take down these Anomalies with his current combat power.

There were way too many of them; this wasn't something he could handle on his own.

Suddenly, an intense feeling of dread surged up in Chen Ye's heart.

This kind of dread had only appeared a few times in his entire apocalypse career.

"Roar!~~~"

A furious roar came from above.

Chen Ye saw a creature with three heads and six arms, its body bulging with muscles, at least ten meters tall.

This thing had three heads and six arms, but one of its heads was only half left.

Two of its arms were also broken off at the elbow.

The whole thing looked more like a clay sculpture than a corpse.

Two of the heads... were unmistakably Iron Lion and Mad Lion!!!

Iron Lion's stupid, honest expression was still there, even in this "him" right now, that simple-mindedness couldn't be hidden.

And then there was the madness on Mad Lion's face.

Iron Lion... how could he possibly be here?

How???

Enraged, it swung its fists down with a heavy smash.

Chen Ye was scared out of his wits for a moment.

But his hands kept moving; the willow branch retracted rapidly, and his body turned into smoke, vanishing on the spot.

A sword light shot over, carrying the smell of earth.

Chen Ye once again transformed into smoke and disappeared.

He cast a quick glance, his blood-red pupils, along with the talisman in the center, instantly shrinking to the size of a needle tip.

Not far away, the Sword Immortal Sequence, with pale skin and dirt clinging to her body...

It was Sun Xixi...

That pink hair, though stained with mud, was still pink.

That touch of pink was the only color in this whole world.

This...

How could it be...

A golden fist energy came flying.

This punch came extremely fast, the wind sharp and biting.

Even without closing in, it pressed Chen Ye's sleeves tightly against his body.

Such a powerful fist wind.

That one-armed woman...

Ding Dong...

No way to dodge.

In that instant, a stream of black liquid flowed out from somewhere on Chen Ye's body.

This black liquid seemed to have a will of its own.

It rapidly appeared at the spot that was about to be hit.

The black liquid quickly formed a black scale that protected Chen Ye's body.

"Boom!"

The force of that punch slammed into Chen Ye's body.

Chen Ye immediately felt an overwhelming, irresistible power.

His entire body turned into smoke and vanished.

That punch's power was far beyond what Ding Dong could produce.

What... the hell is this place?

Iron Lion, Sun Xixi, Ding Dong...

These things, reeking of death, all had power far greater than their original selves.

"S-save... me...!"

Just then, a faint voice sounded in his ear.

Chen Ye saw a vaguely familiar person lying in a grave.

It was that guy from the bus...

Chen Ye didn't care about the guy's name; he only remembered that he had stirred up trouble on the bus earlier.

No, it wasn't just one, it was two people!

The other one was Xu Lina's younger cousin — Lai Baiwei.

Lai Baiwei was somehow here too.

The mud hadn't completely buried them yet.

A hand formed from smoke reached out and grabbed both of them out of the dirt.

Cheng Hai felt like he had just escaped from the gates of hell, a look of relief at having survived flashing across his face.

When he saw it was Chen Ye who had saved him, his expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.

Lai Baiwei was the same way. The moment the darkness fell, she felt her long hair grabbed by someone, her entire body lifted by something.

Then she saw everything in front of her rapidly receding.

When she realized she was about to be buried alive.

Lai Baiwei was nearly scared stiff.

Cheng Hai didn't know what he was feeling right now.

On one hand, he hated Chen Ye deeply, but now the man had saved him.

Lai Baiwei, on the other hand, was overflowing with gratitude toward Chen Ye.

When Chen Ye's arm wrapped around her slender waist, Lai Baiwei felt like she had returned from hell to the human world.

"Thank you..."

If she could, Lai Baiwei would give everything for this moment.

From life to death, and then from death back to life!

The man before her was her savior.

Her savior was a Superhuman, and a very powerful one at that.

A sense of security washed over her entire body.

Lai Baiwei was willing to do anything for her savior, to repay him for saving her life.

But in the next second.

Lai Baiwei saw Cheng Hai, who was being held in Chen Ye's other hand, his face full of terror.

At this moment, Chen Ye had one arm around Lai Baiwei's slender waist and the other hand grabbing Cheng Hai by the collar.

Of course, this was definitely not Chen Ye deliberately trying to take advantage or anything.

It was just a hasty move.

Cheng Hai, grabbed by the collar, was thrown by Chen Ye like a sandbag toward the terrifying thing chasing them.

Cheng Hai was shocked, flailing his arms and legs as he flew through the air.

Lai Baiwei understood. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This man wasn't saving her; he was going to use her as a shield against those terrifying things.

The pursuing "Iron Lion" was distracted by the thrown Cheng Hai, roaring as it pounced on him.

"Chen Ye, you'll die a horrible death..."

Those were Cheng Hai's last words...

He had found out Chen Ye's name, and the first time he shouted it was in a situation like this.

The three-headed, six-armed "Iron Lion" was blocked for the moment.

Lai Baiwei was terrified out of her mind. She frantically clung to Chen Ye like an octopus.

"No, no, don't leave me behind..."

Just then, Chen Ye saw several glowing characters light up in the darkness not far away.

A luminous line appeared in front of each person.

Squad Leader Chu's "Marking"!

The willow branch around his waist rapidly contracted.

Chen Ye's entire body was quickly pulled into an unknown direction.

In the blink of an eye.

Chen Ye saw light in front of him.

His whole body had returned to the convoy.

Chen Ye peeled Lai Baiwei, this "octopus," off his body and dropped her on the ground without a hint of hesitation.
