On a bright and sunny morning, the tranquility was broken by a group of dozens of people.
Dozens of people, their faces sallow and bodies emaciated, rushed toward Lu Yu, their expressions a mix of long-awaited familiarity and frenzied desperation, as if they hadn’t seen a living soul in ages!
However, their faces were somewhat distorted. Instead of smiles, their expressions were fierce and menacing.
Everyone stretched out their hands, as if trying to lift Lu Yu up.
Lu Yu retreated quickly.
This isn’t kindness—it’s a matter of life and death.
In an instant, Lu Yu already understood what these people were about to do!
Dozens of people who have never seen you before will come to hug you at this moment.
Not a word, not a sound.
“Let me take a bite, just one bite,” the person at the very front murmured weakly, his voice sounding like that of someone on the verge of death, yet his movements remained remarkably agile.
Lu Yu did not expect such an incident to happen so early in the morning.
These people are crazy!
This was Lu Yu’s first reaction.
They are going to eat people!
It’s not just about cannibalism; they were truly starving to death and no longer feared death.
To survive, they will eat anything now.
Lu Yu retreated into the supermarket, where it became even more crowded. The shelves around him blocked the path of those frenzied people.
Dozens of people rushed in.
Some people climbed onto the shelves, while others blocked both ends of every aisle.
Like beasts on a hunt, they lunged at Lu Yu together.
Lu Yu lifted his leg and kicked the person in front of him, sending him flying backward.
The past ten days of starvation had left the man’s body extremely weak, without even a bit of strength to resist.
The person kicked flying crashed into a shelf, rolled on the ground, and slammed into a table at the supermarket entrance. Blood gushed from the corner of his mouth as he exhaled his last breath.
“Oh!”
The person who had climbed to the top of the shelves jumped down, letting out a roar like a wild beast.
One, two, three…
Lu Yu punched one away and managed to dodge another.
However, five, six, seven people fell on him all at once, and he couldn’t defend against them.
Seven or eight people were desperately holding onto Lu Yu’s body.
Someone opened their mouth and sank their teeth into Lu Yu’s arm with all their might.
Hard teeth sank into Lu Yu’s flesh.
Then the man violently shook his head, tearing off a fist-sized piece of flesh from Lu Yu’s arm with sheer force.
White bones were exposed, and blood gushed out.
The person who had bitten into the flesh immediately released Lu Yu’s arm and began chewing on the chunk of meat with both hands, eyes glowing blue and a look of satisfaction on their face, completely oblivious to everything happening around them.
“I’ll kill you,” Lu Yu said, watching his own flesh being bitten and swallowed by the other person. He was not only horrified but also furious.
These people are really crazy.
Lu Yu shook off most of the people clinging to him and in a single step reached the person who had bitten into his flesh. He raised his hand and threw a punch.
With the Soul Gathering Hand equipped, this punch instantly shattered the opponent’s head.
But a woman climbed onto his back. She was very light, middle-aged yet still with a fair complexion.
However, this pale complexion, combined with her disheveled hair, truly makes her look like a vengeful ghost.
The woman’s fangs sank into Lu Yu’s back, her head thrashing violently as she tried to tear a chunk of flesh from his body.
But the muscles on Lu Yu’s back tensed, resisting the woman’s attempt to tear him apart, and even cracking her teeth.
Lu Yu grabbed the woman on his back by her hair and pulled her up.
“Get out,” Lu Yu said. He didn’t hit women. But when it came to dealing with a madman, he was at a loss.
A woman fell down, but two people rushed forward.
Another piece of flesh was torn away.
Not zombies, yet scarier than zombies.
Lu Yu’s scalp tingled, and a chill ran down his spine.
He had never been so frightened, not even when facing the Black Magic Wolf.
He had never been afraid of anyone in his entire life. Yet, when faced with these people, he was truly terrified.
Lu Yu clenched his teeth and stepped directly on the person hanging on him.
He suddenly exerted tremendous force, and in an instant, nearly a thousand points of attack power drained this person’s health to zero. His breastbone collapsed, and his heart was pierced by broken bones.
A person’s head, with mouth agape and teeth bared, shattered upon impact, spattering grayish brain matter in all directions.
The consecutive killings didn’t shake these people in the slightest; they kept their eyes fixed on Lu Yu’s body, seeing only food, not death.
“You’re not going to die, are you? Let me have a bite; just one bite will do.” A man in his fifties trembled as he approached Lu Yu. His originally slow steps suddenly became as swift and agile as a panther’s when he closed the distance to within three meters of Lu Yu, and in an instant, he lunged onto him.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s fist slammed into the old man’s throat, the powerful force sending him flying several meters backward.
“You murderer,” someone said, eyes filled with blood, staring at Lu Yu and crazily lunging forward, saying, “You’re clearly so strong; letting us bite you won’t even kill you.”
“Damn it, if you all take a bite each, I’ll die!” Lu Yu’s right hand clamped around the person’s neck as he swung him around and hurled him into the crowd.
Lu Yu’s flesh gradually diminished in patches across his body.
Someone first ate one piece, then a second one.
A piece of meat is no longer enough to satisfy their appetite; they want to eat their fill!
More than ten bodies had already fallen around Lu Yu, and he had lost as much as 200 life points.
Even facing the Black Magic Wolf wasn’t this exhausting.
He finally managed to clear a path and rushed out of the supermarket.
It’s not out of fear that he fled, but because he was worried that someone else might rush in. If that had happened, he really wouldn’t have been able to escape.
He saw people gradually coming out of the houses one by one.
The common characteristic of these people was a sallow complexion, a thin and emaciated physique, and somewhat dull eyes.
They had always been hiding, evading the demon ape’s repeated attempts to hunt them, constantly fleeing just to stay alive.
And now, they were so hungry that they were almost dying.
When people are truly close to death, they will eat anything and fear nothing.
Because—starvation is death!
Eat — there’s still a chance to live!
When Lu Yu dashed out of the supermarket, the people behind had already lost most of their strength to chase after him.
They rushed toward the cold storage unit, which was no longer icy cold, pulled out rotting vegetables, grabbed moldy bread, and began gnawing on raw meat that had already started to develop maggots.
Lu Yu stood on the street, watching the people behind him eating and sweeping their gaze toward the street.
He saw more people emerging, and after a moment of stunned stillness, they began to look around, seemingly in search of food.
Lu Yu’s forehead was already breaking out in cold sweat.
There are at least a thousand people on this street now, a thousand madmen.
Fanggang City is neither small nor large, with a population of at least half a million people within the urban area.
In the past few days, no one has counted how many people the demon ape has eaten.
But there is still a chance for people to survive.
There will be ten thousand, twenty thousand…
Still fifty thousand, one hundred thousand…
They survived and have now come out.
But now, these are a group of starving people! They are holding short sticks, kitchen knives, and pocket knives; they look absurdly like a band of fugitive vagrants!
Thousands of people witnessed the two warriors who were hunting the demon ape, along with the half-dead demon ape itself.
A man stepped forward, followed by countless others.
From all directions, thousands of people advanced together toward the two warriors and the half-dead demon ape.
At first, it was very slow, with movements as stiff as a zombie’s.
Gradually, their speed began to increase. Then they started running, letting out sharp roars as they charged toward the warriors and the magic apes.
The two soldiers were first taken aback, then suddenly knocked down.
Before the two could react, they had already been torn into pieces of bloody flesh.
Lu Yu could hear the sound of flesh being torn even from a great distance.
The half-dead demon ape was gasping for breath there. Its life, already nearly extinguished, let out a cry as it saw thousands of frenzied people rushing toward it.
The skin and fur were torn open, and the flesh was gouged out piece by piece.
There were screams and cries for help on the street, not only in front of Lu Yu but also coming from other directions.
After a long period of dormancy, the streets of this city gradually came back to life with more people.
But it also became something that made Lu Yu feel afraid.
There were also demon apes on the street. They spotted the crowd of hundreds of living people and, having smelled the delicious scent, rushed toward them.
However, before these demon apes could knock down the humans.
Hundreds of people had already turned around, pinning several demon apes to the ground.
The demon apes couldn’t figure it out at all—how could the person who had only known how to cry for help these past few days suddenly become so fierce?
In the blink of an eye, the魔狼们 had no time to think, and instead began to scream in pain.
Not long ago, they were devouring humans. Now it’s humans’ turn to feast on them.
“Damn it, this city is crazy,” Lu Yu muttered, his scalp tingling. He had originally wanted to search for some food, but now he gave up on the idea.
He was running toward the camp at the stadium.
Dozens of people who didn’t care about their lives could reduce his health points by 200.
So many crazy people could easily tear him apart.
The best place now is the campsite.
Two hundred people there, when united, could at least withstand an attack from thousands.
On his way, he saw more people.
Dozens of people pinned down a companion who had the same sallow complexion and emaciated figure, and began devouring him greedily.
To survive, they would eat absolutely anything!
When there are warriors or magic apes nearby, they will lunge at other living beings.
Without the魔猿, they would go on to devour their weaker companions.
Street by street, in front of building after building, countless people stepped forward.
The once desolate city came to life, but was filled with a bloody atmosphere.
Lu Yu was stopped by dozens of people after running two streets away.
These people had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and they still clutched large chunks of the demon ape’s meat in their hands.
Their faces had gained a reddish hue, and their eyes, no longer dull, now appeared more menacing.
“What the hell? Are we really going to play ‘Zombie Siege’ now?” Lu Yu sucked in a cold breath, his back breaking out in a cold sweat.
Directly in front of him, a person was still glowing with a red light.
That’s the Blood Shield!
Someone ate the Magic Ape and seems to have obtained the Mutated Star Spirit Pearl.
Lu Yu didn’t need to turn around to hear the heavy, chaotic footsteps approaching from behind.
He knew he was surrounded.
“Eat him, and we’ll have the strength to survive,” said the man with the blood shield, staring at Lu Yu.
Boom!
More than ten people rushed towards Lu Yu all at once.
“Damn it, do you really think I’m afraid of you guys!” Lu Yu also sprang into action. He had been running away because of a group of maniacs, and he was already filled with rage.
