The rain was still falling.

　　Ferren raised his head and glanced at the sky. For this world, day and night no longer meant much. Even during the day, the thick clouds never had the intention of dispersing. No matter what time of the day, when people looked up, they could only see black and heavy clouds, as for the blue-colored sky, the warm sun, the bright full moon and countless stars, they had long since disappeared from people's memories. The only way for people to see these things is through the residual image records before the Cataclysm.

　　Of course, this is no longer meaningful to them.

　　The only way people can judge day and night now is that during the day, it is slightly brighter outside, while at night it is dark. Other than that, there is no difference between the two.

　　Not a bad pastime last night.

　　Thinking of that young girl who was currently lying on the bed asleep, a smile surfaced at the corner of Ferun's mouth. Last night was considered a very wonderful night for himself, the other party's reaction was very youthful, even with a bit of shyness. From the short contact, Fei Lun can detect that she is not a "lost woman" who sells her body for a living, and may even be someone's fiancée or lover. But it doesn't matter to Fei Lun, at least he had a good time last night, that's enough. As for whether or not the other party would attract any trouble as a result, that was not something one needed to be concerned about.

　　Next, then, it was almost time to get down to business.

　　Thinking of this, Ferun took out a green, baseball-sized looking data cube from his pocket and gently pressed it. The next moment, the cube unlocked, and a line of information appeared in front of him. At the same time, in Feilun's ears, a series of voices rang out.

　　"...... This is Scavenger Squad, we are investigating in Area C. We have found traces of zombies, and their numbers look like they may be more than we thought ......"

　　"...... This is Scavenger Squad, we have found hundreds of walkers and they have attacked us, luckily these damn things are no match for us. But we also had a human sacrifice ...... Hank, I'm sorry I couldn't bring his body back with me, he was captured by a unit of walkers and ...... we burned him. Through observation, we realized that there is more than just a group of walkers here, and we will continue to track ...... them."

　　"...... This is Scavenger Squad, we have already eliminated three groups of zombies, their numbers are getting smaller and smaller, they should not pose a threat to the town. But just a moment ago, we found the trail of an energy absorbing monster. We don't know if it's a lone energy-absorbing monster or a group, but either way, it's not good news. I've already sent people forward to investigate and see if we can find any clues ......"

　　"...... Damn it, this is Scavenger Squad, and none of the people I sent there have returned. This has verified my suspicions, I'm afraid we're in big trouble! We've now reached the edge of the safe zone, and as much as I'd like to move on and find those damn energy absorbing monsters, it's too dangerous to step into the black hole area without preparation. I'm already planning to evacuate, with the electromagnetic storm coming soon, I suggest the town had better beef up its defenses ...... Hey, what's that! Everyone! Get ready for battle! Damn it ......!"

　　This was the last communication.

　　"Looks like they're in big trouble."

　　Hearing this, Ferren smiled and opened his mouth, scanning the map that marked the location and bearing of where they were last located. After finally confirming the target location, Ferun picked up the wide-brimmed hat at hand and put it on, then pushed open the door in front of him, and soon, the raging rain mixed with the icy cold wind met him head-on, completely enveloping his body in it.

　　Everything has its own way of survival.

　　Humans had always thought that they were the masters of the Earth, that they had taken everything from the Earth and then destroyed everything, and they even thought that they were about to completely destroy the world. But the fact proves that this kind of idea is nonsense, the earth will use its actual action to tell human beings, even if the destruction is more serious, the destruction and death is only human beings. And the earth, still the earth, without human beings, other species can still survive. As in the ancient dinosaur era, no matter how advanced civilization was built, in the eyes of the earth itself, there is no essential difference between humans and dinosaurs.

　　This was especially true when standing at the edge of the ruins and looking at the city in front of them.

　　"These guys really ran into a headache-inducing place ah ......"

　　Looking at the ruins of the city not far away, Ferun's smile did not change in the slightest. He raised his head and gazed at an SUV not far away, it had crashed on the concrete pillar in front of him, no blood could be seen on it, the torrential rain had cleaned everything. Only one mangled leg dangled out of the car's door, signaling its last sense of existence to passing visitors. Of course, I'm afraid that this leg won't stay for long, although the zombies aren't interested in it, it's considered very good food for the mutant beasts and some hobos.

　　"Roar ......"

　　The sound of rain came from a seemingly indistinct, as if beast-like roar. Dark shadows gradually emerged from the rain curtain, they were dressed in rags, and their bodies were covered in rotting flesh and blood. Within their pitch-black eye sockets, they emitted a scarlet colored eerie light, containing a desire to kill like a flame.

　　Looking at the zombies slowly appearing from all directions, Ferun did not feel the slightest bit nervous, instead, he just stood there quietly, carefully surveying the monsters that were getting closer and closer.

　　When these zombies were only tens of meters away from Fei Lun, only a series of roars could be heard, and at the next moment, those monsters that were originally slow and leisurely suddenly exploded, as if they were a sturdy cheetah pouncing towards the prey in front of them at a fast speed. They stretched out their sharp claws and teeth, trying to grab this living being in front of them, and completely tear his body apart, devouring his flesh and blood, making him taste the same pain as themselves!

　　But the next moment, their bodies lost their forward momentum and scattered.

　　The glittering cold light cut through their fingers, elbows, shoulders, and necks without stopping. The stiff, sturdy limbs of the zombies were just like tofu in front of this small scalpel, easily cut, cracked, and shattered. The sharp blade slit throats, cut off arms and legs, and pierced through brains. Just a moment's work, the roar disappeared into thin air, the rain curtain once again enveloped everything, Ferrum quietly stood in place, motionless. And by his feet, the zombies that attacked him just now had already turned into a pile of meat.

　　"Fifteen, it seems to be a leak ......"

　　Looking at the blood on the scalpel that was washed away by the rain and disappeared, Ferun's fingers slightly moved, and in the next moment, the shiny and sharp scalpel disappeared into thin air. Instead, he reached out again and pulled down the brim of his hat.

　　"Derin, did you find out where they went?"

　　(Yes, master.)

　　Along with Ferren's inquiry, a soft, calm voice floated in Ferren's head.

　　(They abandoned their supplies and vehicles and retreated to that tunnel... it seems that these people aren't too stupid.)

　　Hearing these words, Ferun nodded slightly, then he leapt down from above in an arrow step, landing on the ground as silently as if he were a ghost. Afterwards, without even looking at the abandoned and fallen containers on both sides, Fei Lun leisurely strolled into the tunnel in front of him.

　　Inside the tunnel was not pitch black, on both sides of the wall, the dim light flickered uncontrollably. The disaster had changed everything in this world, even these electronic facilities. They no longer needed wires or any other energy delivery system to supply energy. As long as they were in the middle of the network's energy coverage area, any electronic device could be used at will.

　　Previously, this was a sign of civilization, but now, they have become omens and warnings of survival and death.

　　The storm was coming.

　　Looking at the wall lamps that couldn't stop flickering, Fereng didn't say much, he just squinted his eyes and carefully watched the tunnels in front of him. Obviously, those unlucky people had a fierce firefight here. Perhaps their original intention was to expect to use this as a way to escape the storm while eliminating their enemies. This could be seen from the hasty, makeshift bunker in front of Fereng that was built with wooden crates and tires. But for some unknown reason, they abandoned their decision to defend here and instead fled to the depths of the tunnels ......

　　Thinking of this, Fereng cast his gaze on the two corpses not far away, judging from their clothing, they should clearly be members of that team, their weapons were still in their hands, and expressions of terror and despair could still be seen on their faces. But their bodies were strangely dry and thin, it wasn't due to malnutrition caused by prolonged starvation, but complete skin and bones, as if all but the outermost epidermis and bones had been drained. And seeing this scene, a trace of coldness flashed through Ferun's eyes.

　　"It seems that they are really unlucky."

　　(It's an energy-absorbing monster, and there's more than one of them... what do you think the chances of them surviving this long are, master?)

　　"I think ......"

　　Saying this, Ferren suddenly stopped talking, then he closed his eyes and listened sideways for a moment, then opened his eyes once more, revealing a calm and elegant smile.

　　"I think that the chance of them surviving, is one hundred percent."
