Chapter 923: The Inner City
Chapter 923: The Inner City
"Kill! Kill him! Kill him!"
A woman's hoarse scream came from upstairs.
Chen Futu looked up and saw a disheveled woman standing on the fifth-floor balcony, waving a kitchen knife and cursing wildly as if possessed.
Chen Futu didn't care about her. Before the group of monsters pounced on him, he leaped straight up to the top of the wall, which was seven or eight meters high. Luckily, his leg was grabbed and he was dragged down.
"are you crazy!"
Chen Futu stood on the wall, glaring at the woman, who screamed like a maddened beast: "You killed my man, I won't forgive you, I'll kill you, kill—"
That scream, hoarse and desperate, was even more terrifying than the mutated creature.
As for her husband, he was probably mutated after death and had just been dealt with by Chen Futu. After the woman found out, she came up with a plan to attract the mutated creature so that she could kill the guy who killed her husband.
Thinking of this, Chen Futu frowned and said, "Your man is already dead. If you really love him, why don't you let him stay at home? Why let him out to harm people?"
“My husband just didn’t want to hurt us. He felt he couldn’t take the pollution anymore, so he went out on his own. But that’s no excuse for you to kill him, you murderer! I’m calling the police, I’m going to have you executed!”
The woman was crying and shouting, and her yelling and cursing attracted residents of nearby buildings who opened their balconies to check on the situation.
When everyone saw Chen Futu forced to stand against the wall, they screamed in alarm, warning him to be careful and not fall.
At this moment, more and more mutated beings were attracted by the commotion. There were at least a hundred or so mutated beings of the fifth or sixth rank, making it a veritable corpse party.
The woman wouldn't give up and threw the kitchen knife down from her high position. Luckily, she was far enough away that she didn't have enough force, otherwise she would have been hit by the mutated creature, if not killed by it.
"Big sister, calm down! It's very dangerous down there!"
"Exactly! How can you do things like this!"
A girl on the sixth floor shouted angrily at the woman below, and others also rebuked her.
If a person becomes an alien, he is a menace. Why not kill him and keep him around for the New Year?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Futu felt gratified; at least everyone still retained a sense of right and wrong.
"Hehe, Sister Liu, if you can't smash it, I'll smash it for you. If I kill that kid for you, how will you thank me?"
A man in a floral shirt spoke up with a grin.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Chen Futu is currently in the last building of the complex, with the wall less than ten meters away from the building. On one side is the residential area, and on the other side is the street. However, the alien beings on the street have also been attracted here, a huge group of them, at least eighty or a hundred.
The man was also a resident on the fifth floor, and he was positioned directly above Chen Futu. He was also carrying a kitchen knife, the gleaming light of which was chilling.
Chen Futu showed no reaction, simply staring coldly at the other party, his pupils flashing with ferocity, "Insect, are you courting death?"
The sound was like a thunderclap rising from the ground.
Chen Futu struck out with his Vajra Pestle, piercing the floor, then leaped up, using the Pestle as a springboard to reach the fifth-floor balcony. Before the man could react, he grabbed him by the neck and threw him off the building.
The man screamed as he fell into the horde of mutated creatures and was devoured in the blink of an eye.
This method plunged all the residents of the building into terror.
After dealing with the man, Chen Futu looked at the woman who had attacked him earlier, then pushed open the living room door and headed towards her house.
In this apocalyptic world, who still acts like a saint? When it's time to kill, not a single one will be spared.
Before long, Chen Futu kicked open the woman's door. He wasn't like those brainless mutants outside who thought a door could stop him.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
A woman was holding a child on the balcony, brandishing a knife and shouting, while the child cried loudly in her arms.
Chen Futu ignored her and approached with a cold face. In the end, the woman was frightened and screamed as she fell down with her child in her arms. She disappeared into the horde of mutated creatures with a miserable cry. The mother and child died without leaving a trace of their bones.
Chen Futu showed no pity for this.
Those who kill will always be killed.
This was a creed he adhered to in the mortal realm, and he continued to uphold it even after coming to the celestial world.
As for this frenzy, Chen Futu discovered that the high-level mutants temporarily created by special forces, although of high level, were far less intelligent than the high-level mutants created by the long-term forces of the will of heaven and earth. Therefore, it was relatively safe for everyone to stay at home. They did not know how to break down doors, otherwise, with their combat power, they would have already started a massacre.
Next, it's time to go to the inner city to find someone.
Chen Futu tucked the Vajra Pestle into his waistband, found a quiet spot in the neighborhood, and looked around. There were many cyberpunk-style cars parked there, and several corpses lay scattered on the ground, torn to shreds in a gruesome manner. Judging from the scene, it was probably the work of a pack of wild dogs.
Now there are no pedestrians in the neighborhood, the whole world is shrouded in fog, and the air is filled with the smell of blood, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.
Chen Futu kept a watchful eye on his surroundings, and finally found a carriage and headed towards the inner city.
Philadelphia is different from other cities; it is extremely large, and it takes a considerable amount of time to drive into the inner city.
Along the way, Chen Futu saw many broken-down vehicles and corpses. There were also many large, mutated animals chasing the vehicles. For example, a striped tiger jumped onto the roof of a car, scaring the driver into crashing and overturning the car, causing a serious chain reaction that made the road conditions worse.
Due to a shortage of manpower, no legions from various factions are currently clearing the roads outside the city, which has led to the mutated beasts becoming increasingly rampant.
"Currently, all available resources are being used for control and cleanup, leaving no room for anything outside the residential areas."
As Chen Futu was pondering, a large flock of birds suddenly descended and attacked the vehicle, chirping wildly.
"Help!"
A car window was shattered by a chisel, and the people inside screamed before the car braked suddenly.
As Chen Futu drove by, he caught a glimpse of the driver and discovered that his eyeballs had been pecked out; the scene was quite gruesome.
Time flew by and it was already afternoon. Chen Futu then officially entered the inner city.
Surprisingly, the inner city area is relatively safe. The city management has cleared the area and is currently conducting a search.
Chen Futu clicked his tongue in amazement, "The overall strength of this inner city is even stronger than I thought. At least they survived the first wave of pollution. I wonder if they can withstand the arrival of the specialized beings next?"
Along the way, because the legion was clearing out the mutated beings, they did not stop Chen Futu's car from passing by, which allowed Chen Futu to enter the inner city smoothly.
"Lan, we found the information you requested. Qin Liangyu is in Ankang Residential Area; you can go there first. As for Mo Lan, we are still searching for her." The Legion finally had news and provided her location.
Chen Futu breathed a sigh of relief, then relayed the news of this specialized-level frenzy. The other end fell silent. "So dangerous, it seems Philadelphia is doomed. I need to report this as soon as possible!"
The other party logged off after speaking, and Chen Futu ignored him and sped towards the inner city.
Surprisingly, the inner city was not as chaotic as expected. The city was relatively peaceful, although people kept carrying corpses to be burned and many vehicles were passing by. These were all high-level experts who went out to hunt down mutated beings.
Just then, the sky suddenly turned completely black, and the streets were filled with the sounds of car horns and countless exclamations.
