The world was now in turmoil, with his fellow military men fighting for their life against new-species monsters. Yet these people who are just leeching off of them are yapping their mouths, acting like they are the king or god above them.
“Hmph, if you wish to leave and seek your death, then, by all means, go ahead.” The military personnel snorted coldly as he raised his hand.
Soon, multiple military-dressed people armed with assault rifles appeared behind him as they raised their guns toward the people who were creating a scene.
“Does anyone wish to leave this world right now?” The military personnel asked with a frightening aura around him.
Instantly, the crowd turned silent as they sat back down without making a single sound.
Without anyone complaining, the days soon passed by and no one else knew what was going on outside the world right now.
Television broadcasts stopped after three days of the outbreak.
And it didn’t take long before the food ration was being depleted rapidly at the shelter center.
“Cough cough cough.” Sheng Lan began coughing multiple times as she struggled a bit.
Shi Tian held a dreadful expression as he quickly patted her back softly.
“Xiao Lan, are you alright?” Shi Tian asked in a worried tone.
“I-I’m fine Brother- cough cough”
Sheng Lan wanted to reply, but couldn’t as she coughed out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.
Shi Tian quickly took out a napkin and wiped some of her blood.
“Damn it, how long are they going to trap us in here?” Shi Tian cursed aloud.
It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the shelter center was meant for their safety, but that Sheng Lan had run out of medical pills.
Without medical pills, Sheng Lan would soon die and Shi Tian will never allow it to happen.
Never losing another close member again!
“I’m really fine, Brother Tian.” Sheng Lan said with much difficulty.
Shi Tian shook his head.
“Wait here for a minute, Xiao Lan.” Shi Tian said calmly.
Afterward, he began walking forward to the military people that were armed.
“Stop your steps, any further movement and we will shoot.” One of the military personnel shouted as he pointed his gun at Shi Tian.
Shi Tian took a deep breath before speaking, “Someone is in dire need of medicine. I need to head out to get it for her.”
“Apologies, but no one is allowed to leave. I have received orders from the commander that the battle outside had become more dangerous and the pollution had spread all across the world. By opening the door, we will be at risk of getting contaminated by the pollution.”
Shi Tian clenched his fist tightly.
They had been saying the same thing over and over again.
Calming himself, Shi Tian soon glanced at them with a profound aura. “You have said that, but recently, I have heard that someone was able to leave the shelter center.”
And he continued, “Just because I’m a normal citizen, doesn’t mean you can strip me of my rights and freedoms. The person who had left was someone that had proclaimed his father was a high-level government official. So tell me, why could he leave but not me.”
The military personnel remained silent.
Just when Shi Tian tried to continue to reason with him, the alarm in the shelter center went off.
BEEP!
BEEP!
“Emergency! Mutated beasts have ventured into the level 1 door and are making their way inside.”
The speaker on the ceiling announced as they requested all military personnel in the vicinity to prepare for battle.
Panic soon occurred within the shelter center as people began scurrying around, hoping to find an exit.
“Brother Tian?” Sheng Lan asked in worriedness from afar before getting pushed by one of the panicked people. She dropped down from her wheelchair as she tried to crawl back up. 𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐞𝘁
Shi Tian no longer bothered the military personnel as he quickly rushed back to Sheng Lan’s side.
Helping her back up in the wheelchair, Shi Tian then noticed the large steel door from the backside was opened up as everyone began rushing there to leave the area.
“ROAR!”
Monsters roaring from the other end of the door could be heard, and Shi Tian wasted no time as he pushed the wheelchair to evacuate.
“Don’t worry Xiao Lan, nothing will happen to us.” Shi Tian said as he followed after the crowd.
Within a few minutes, the people could see the sun for the first time, shining brightly from the exit.
Shi Tian was about to follow the crowd toward the end when he suddenly heard numerous shrieks of cries echoing around the tunnel they were in.
“AHHHH!”
“No, don’t kill me!”
Blood soon splattered across the area as the first group of people that escaped were slaughtered by deadly monsters. Monsters that resemble the appearance of a dinosaur.
However, the main difference was that the dinosaur-like monsters in front of them were filled with mechanical armor. Attached to the armor was some sort of arsenal weapon that would fire at will.
Sheng Lan was filled with fear as she watched the people in front of her collapse one by one.
Shi Tian tried to head back inside, but the monsters from the other side had already broken through.
‘Is this the end of the line?’ Shi Tian thought.
Monsters from both ends were approaching Shi Tian and Shi Lan.
“What a great military we have… can’t even defend for a minute.” Shi Tian laughed bitterly.
Unwilling to let Sheng Lan witness this horror, Shi Tian covered her eyes with his hand while his other hand grabbed Sheng Lan’s hand.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Lan. Brother Tian will stay with you till the end.” Shi Tian smiled as he closed his eyes for the awaited monsters.
Am I dead yet?
That was the first question on Shi Tian’s mind as he expected to be devoured by the monsters.
However, even after a few minutes went by, Shi Tian could still physically feel his body being intact.
Opening his eyelids slowly, Shi Tian’s eyes turned wide open as he witnessed the scene in front of him.
The monsters were completely annihilated, both on the back and the front side.
“H-How did this happen?” Shi Tian exclaimed in shock.
Just a moment ago, they were about to be devoured by the monsters, but the monsters were now completely slaughtered.
VROOOM!
Motorcycle sound echoed from afar and Shi Tian could vividly hear a person talking about something.
“Leader, there are still two survivors left in the shelter center.”
“Heh, capture the two of them.”
Instantly, a group of people rushed toward Shi Tian and Sheng Lan and detained them.
“What the hell are you doing?” Shi Tian screamed as he struggled to reach for Sheng Lan’s wheelchair.
Alas, before he could struggle any further, Shi Tian’s head was suddenly knocked by the man.
With that knock, Shi Tian’s eyes slowly closed as he fainted on sight, his last vision was Sheng Lan being dragged away.
