Chapter 79

Great Opportunity

The middle-aged woman said anxiously, "Don't be angry, it's no use. You only have one daughter, what else can you do? The most important thing now is to figure out a way to separate our daughter from that cripple, and try not to hurt her feelings."

"I understand!"

The middle-aged man frowned, falling silent, puffing on his cigarette.

Smoke filled the hall, and silence descended, broken only by the 'tick-tock' of a mechanical wall clock.

The next morning, 003 City was as cold and desolate as ever, with heart-stopping roars of monsters echoing through it from time to time. If Jiangnan Base City was a vibrant, new city, then this city, once Huaxia's most prosperous decades ago, had now become a monster's paradise and lair. Dried bloodstains and skeletal remains were visible everywhere.

This was a demon's lair!

In a dusty, dilapidated room on the top floor of an 18-story building, Luo Feng, clad in combat gear, silently watched the ground below with a pair of binoculars in one hand, while in the other, he held a piece of dried meat, taking a bite, chewing twice, and swallowing.

Chew, swallow.

In the entire room, marked by the passage of time, only the sound of Luo Feng chewing dried meat broke the profound silence.

"Gurgle~~" Luo Feng took out his water skin, drank a small sip, and then another small sip a moment later.

In the wilderness, Luo Feng didn't carry much food or water, so he had to ration it carefully every day.

"Seven of them went out together again!" Through the binoculars, Luo Feng clearly saw seven figures leaving the six-story residential building under the pervasive morning mist. Frowning, Luo Feng angrily tossed the binoculars onto the nearby bed.

Luo Feng massaged the pressure points around his eyes; constant surveillance made them extremely fatigued.

"They go out together every day, giving me no opportunity at all," Luo Feng frowned. "If this continues until that young master's training plan ends, I'll probably have waited in vain! What should I do?" Luo Feng quickly began to ponder, as there was no chance to act right now.

Should he just keep waiting patiently?

"No opportunity."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth. "Since there's no opportunity, and I can't wait for one, then I'll create one!"

"They're always together, aren't they? I'll force them to split up!" Luo Feng gently tightened the stopper of his water skin.

...

About three hours later, the seven members of the Thunder Squad, who had been hunting in the monster lair's suburban area, cautiously advanced and dodged, finally returning to the six-story residential building where they had been resting.

"Operation... commence!"

Fully armed, Luo Feng smiled faintly and walked directly out of the room, then swiftly darted downstairs like an ape. After exiting the 18-story residential building, even Luo Feng didn't dare to be too arrogant. Instead, he cautiously began to meticulously search the surrounding area.

Evading monsters was difficult, but finding them was easy!

Fifteen minutes later, Luo Feng found a pack of two to three thousand canine monsters. This pack was entrenched in a large machinery factory building. Normally, no human Warrior would dare to provoke such a massive beast horde, as the threat of two to three thousand monsters was simply terrifying.

"Whoosh whoosh~~"

Huge monsters lay sprawled on the factory floor, their snores echoing, and a strong, musky odor permeated the area.

"Tsk tsk tsk... what a powerful beast horde," Luo Feng muttered, peering through a gap in the courtyard wall. "Let's begin!"

Soon—

"Roar~"

"Roar roar roar~~"

The beast horde within the factory compound roared furiously. The deaths of dozens of monsters made the massive horde even more enraged, feeling an unprecedented insult. Even the leaders of the horde, two Advanced Beast General-level Lion-Mastiff monsters, roared in fury, and the entire horde immediately gave chase.

"They're really fast!"

Luo Feng's hexagonal shield on his back received a powerful thrust from his spiritual force, instantly transforming Luo Feng into a whirlwind, whistling and darting away.

Rumble rumble~~

The entire Lion-Mastiff pack also included some Tiger-Mastiffs. This massive beast horde chased furiously, their speed equally astonishing. Those at the front were already reaching seventy to eighty meters per second! At this incredible speed, the distance of nearly four li from the factory compound to the six-story residential building took only thirty seconds!

Just thirty seconds!

Luo Feng darted into the six-story residential building like lightning.

...

Inside an old four-bedroom, two-living room apartment on the sixth floor of the six-story residential building, the seven members of the Thunder Squad were resting. In fact, when the beast horde first roared and chased Luo Feng, the seven members of the Thunder Squad weren't the least bit vigilant... because, first, the distance was a full four li, and second, where in 003 City weren't there monster roars?

But after more than ten seconds.

"It seems there's a battle to our east," the one-eyed middle-aged man chuckled.

"Don't meddle. What day goes by in 003 City without battles between Warriors and monster hordes? Some Warrior must have provoked a monster pack," Thunder Squad Captain Pan Ya said calmly, without even a hint of emotional fluctuation. After all, in his decade-plus as a Warrior, there had been countless instances of monster hordes chasing Warriors.

But in just the time it took for a few words of conversation.

"The beast horde seems very close!"

"The building is subtly shaking."

Almost instantly, all seven members of the Thunder Squad rushed to the north window and looked down. They saw a massive number of Lion-Mastiff monsters, along with a smaller number of Tiger-Mastiff monsters, furiously surging into the stairwell of the six-story residential building. In just a few short seconds, the entire building began to shake as if an earthquake had struck, and the roars of countless monsters echoed everywhere.

"Boom!" The door to the room where the seven members of the Thunder Squad were located was violently smashed open.

Lion-Mastiffs, each the size of a Humvee, charged in one after another. Not only was the door shattered to splinters, but even the walls collapsed and cracked. The entire residential building trembled under the onslaught of over a thousand monsters, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Outside the residential building, another one to two thousand Lion-Mastiff and Tiger-Mastiff monsters couldn't get inside, so they completely surrounded the building. Just imagining one to two thousand Humvees besieging a residential building gives a sense of how terrifying it was to have so many monsters surrounding it.

"What's going on!!!" the mixed-race youth immediately shrieked and roared, his face deathly pale.

Anyone in this situation—with the residential building shaking as if about to collapse, a flood of monsters rushing inside, and a dense mass of even more monsters surrounding the building below—would panic.

"Protect the young master! Tiger Fang Squad, cover the rear!" Elder Liu roared.

"Da da da da~~~"

Dongzi's machine gun roared furiously, spent casings flying wildly. Powerful bullets pierced directly into the bodies of the Lion-Mastiff monsters, yet even when hit, these charging monsters continued to crash forward due to their momentum. The bald strongman, the one-eyed man, and Tiger Fang Squad Captain Pan Ya could only use cold weapons to fend off the monsters.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"

Elder Liu and the white strongman had already jumped out the window with the mixed-race youth.

"Let's go!" Tiger Fang Squad Captain roared, being the first to follow, leaping out of the window.

"Dongzi, hurry!" the one-eyed man roared.

After all, in terms of physical fitness, the gunman was the weakest. As the gunman Dongzi also gritted his teeth and leaped from the window, the one-eyed middle-aged man and the bald strongman followed suit, jumping out of the window. In fact, from a six-story height, even a Beginner Tier Warrior could land without injury, even carrying hundreds of jin, by dissipating the force.

But this time, below wasn't flat ground, but a monster horde of over a thousand!

...

On the second floor of the residential building, the walls and other structures had already collapsed into ruins. In the innermost corner of a room on the second floor, Luo Feng was huddled there!

After Luo Feng rushed into this room on the second floor, he used his spiritual force to directly control and levitate the concrete walls, marble tables, and other objects, heavily barricading the front of the bathroom he was in. He also caused the third-floor slab to collapse, bringing down concrete pillars, turning the room into a temporary ruin. Monsters rushing in didn't even notice Luo Feng.

As the monster horde discovered the Thunder Squad on the sixth floor, their entire attention shifted to the Thunder Squad.

Standing at the bathroom window, Luo Feng stared intently outside, his ears also listening carefully.

"They're fighting!" Luo Feng's ears could even faintly hear the angry roars from the sixth floor.

As three phantoms rapidly plummeted from above.

"They're jumping," Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and two black flying daggers immediately hovered before him.
