Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1108: Chapter 541:

Thus, in the sudden assault of Horror Demons, the shelter was breached.

A humanoid Horror Demon wielding a Blood and Flesh Demon Sword faced a barrage of firepower, killed the official captain, and tore apart the shelter’s ground defenses.

The human warriors fought back madly, covering the evacuation of tens of thousands of people to seek refuge in other safe zones.

But the Horror Demons seemed omnipresent. The escort group leaving the underground shelter was attacked again, many scattered.

Zhong Hao’s group, amid the chaotic battlefield, found several hundred civilians.

After a brief discussion, they decided to escort them to other shelters.

However, due to the confusion and distortion of the terrain, they couldn’t find the nearest shelter from memory and had to change direction to head to a more distant shelter.

They had considerable firepower, several Iron Guards, and one Four-Awakened Spiritual Ability User.

Along the way, they eliminated some not-so-strong Horror Demons, like certain beasts or murderers mutated from the Giant City, and so on.

Unfortunately, while passing through a section of the street, they suddenly encountered the Silent Demon.

This team couldn’t withstand the assault of the Silent Demon; almost instantly, they were utterly eliminated.

After awakening inside the tank, Zhong Hao found all his comrades sacrificed and, remembering his teammates’ reminders, he dared not move.

Until, hours later, the arrival of Li Ye and others.

Li Ye and others looked somber; a shelter being breached indicated casualties of tens of thousands.

Upon entering the Disaster Fog, they heard such dire news…

As for the Doll’s whereabouts, Zhong Hao, this ordinary soldier, did not know.

“Which means they may not be in the same space as us,” Cheese pondered and said, “At present, the priority is to head to the nearest shelter. They may need refuge.”

Li Ye nodded slightly and then asked, “Where’s the nearest shelter?”

“If the terrain there hasn’t twisted, it should be about thirty kilometers ahead along this road. There’s an underground parking garage built to shelter specifications there. Along the way, two smaller shelters can be seen.” Zhong Hao answered.

What Zhong Hao didn’t know was…

A Spiritual Ability User of the Spiritual Eyes Path stood quietly at a distance, watching him silently. Listening to his heartbeat and observing his micro expressions.

A few seconds later, the Spiritual Ability User nodded slightly, indicating Zhong Hao wasn’t lying. This vigilance was necessary.

“Let’s follow the route you mentioned, then.”

….

The fire consumed the remains of his compatriots. In this environment, cremation effectively ensured their bodies wouldn’t be desecrated by other Horror Demons or beasts.

After a brief rest, the team set off again.

Li Ye also obtained some information on the Horror Demons from Zhong Hao.

For instance, the Horror Demon that breached their shelter was suspected to be a human.

Wielding a Demon Sword, it defeated the shelter’s official captain in thirty seconds.

The original moves were extremely clumsy, but after engagement, his skill improved rapidly, finally piercing the captain’s chest with terrifying swordsmanship.

Although, due to the chaotic battlefield, it wasn’t a proper duel, with both sides having support, it still demonstrated his extraordinary combat strength.

Moreover, after killing the captain, his power seemed to continue to increase, but subsequently, the troops broke out, and Zhong Hao didn’t know more.

“From being originally clumsy to terrifying swordsmanship…”

“The Horror Demon may be that sword… In Kunlun Giant City, there were legends of a Demon Sword; some believe it’s a Taboo Item that tempts humans to use it. Others think it’s an abominable creation blessed by the Chaos God.”

“Perhaps some strong figure from Kunlun Giant City came into contact with such a bizarre Demon Sword. Became his fear, thus giving birth to such a Horror Demon.”

“Indeed tricky. The Silent Demon we eliminated just now is also a special monster originating from the Northwest Forbidden Zone.”

“Spiritual Ability Users from various places are well-informed, yet they’ve raised the danger level of this Disaster Fog to unimaginable heights.”

The human warriors whispered in discussion, sensing the changes in the Void Realm.

Currently, everyone’s in the Disaster Fog; if they observe the Void Realm through the Soul Well, they’ll see a massive shadow. This is the projection of the Disaster Fog within the Void Realm.

Besides this, they’re not affected.

Unfortunately, given everyone’s level, the communication distance within the Void Realm isn’t very far.

Right now, there’s been no further response.

Is it fear of being discovered by Horror Demons? Or is it because there are barely any Spiritual Ability Users in this space?

As the team pushed forward, they saw more and more corpses.

This area was originally the territory of the Silent Demons; many sound-making creatures were hunted by them, including humans, as well as Horror Demons.

The group even saw the body of a Sixth Sense Strength Extraordinary Creature.

From the wound, it appeared to have been ambushed by a human team and then jointly killed by the Silent Demons.

Faces were somber. After collecting and cremating the compatriots’ bodies, they moved forward again.

Too many… Truly too many…

Many streets and houses were drenched in blood.
