Mutant

In the town.

Chu Zhou and the other three rushed towards the entrance of the town at full speed while killing the humanoid monsters.

After about 15 minutes, they finally arrived near the town's exit.

"Chu Zhou, you're right. Everyone is running towards a safe place after this turn of events… I believe that most of the survivors have already gathered here."

Shi Meng looked at the more than a hundred terrified students around him and said.

"Chu Zhou guessed correctly… However, we are unlucky. We are surrounded by those humanoid monsters."

Li Qingshi looked around the crowd with a bitter smile. She saw many extremely ferocious humanoid monsters surrounding this place.

Furthermore, humanoid monsters kept flying over and joining the encirclement from further away.

"Looks like we can only fight!"

Chu Zhou glanced at the densely packed humanoid monsters outside the crowd, his heart a little heavy.

However, he could not give up no matter how many humanoid monsters there were.

Because giving up means death!

"Chu Zhou!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Chu Zhou.

Chu Zhou was overjoyed. He immediately turned around and saw Liu Qianqian.

Liu Qianqian's clothes were stained with blood. She looked tired and her hair was messy.

"It's great that you're fine!" Chu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.

"What are these monsters? They are bloodthirsty and violent. They will attack crazily as long as they encounter living creatures. They are not afraid of death or pain… Such monsters are too terrifying."

Liu Qianqian said with lingering fear.

She was attacked by a humanoid monster not too long ago. Fortunately, she reacted in time and pierced the other party's heart with a dagger.

However, she did not expect that the monster was still alive and was still struggling to bite her even though its heart had been pierced.

It was not until she cut off the monster's head with a dagger that the monster's life ended.

However, she was still shocked.

"These monsters are man-made…"

Chu Zhou sighed.

Man-made?

"What… Who did this? It's too cruel!"

Liu Qianqian looked at the human-shaped monsters that seemed to have their skin peeled off and felt a chill down her spine.

"It's most likely related to fallen martial artists!"

"We found a portion of school uniform hanging from a dead humanoid monster's arm… It was the uniform of the Third High School."

"Coincidentally, a student from the Third High School suddenly disappeared some time ago. The police deduced that the fallen martial artists were behind it."

"The monster with the uniform from the Third High School is probably the missing student from the Third High School."

"Therefore, the birth of these monsters is definitely related to fallen martial artists."

Chu Zhou deduced.

"These fallen martial artists… Are really harmful to mankind."

Liu Qianqian gritted her teeth.

"Shi Meng, Qingshi… And Chu Zhou!"

Another familiar voice sounded. Chu Zhou quickly saw a familiar figure.

White-robed, silver-haired, carrying an ancient sword on his back. His expression was cold, like an ancient swordsman.

Such dressing and temperament could only belong to one person— Ling Zhan.

"Ling Zhan, you're finally here… I thought that you, white-haired old man before your time, had already been eaten by these monsters!"

Shi Meng's face lit up when he saw Ling Zhan.

"Ling Zhan!"

Li Qingshi also heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Zhan.

They were actually very close even though many people in the outside world regarded the three monsters as competitors.

They often cultivated and sparred together.

Therefore, neither of them wanted to see anything happen to the other two.

Ling Zhan nodded slightly at Shi Meng and Li Qingshi. Then, he looked at Chu Zhou and said regretfully.

"Chu Zhou, I was going to compete with you in this elite trial."

"However, I didn't expect such a development… Let's continue our competition if we can survive today!"

Ling Zhan said.

"We will definitely survive!"

Chu Zhou smiled and stared into Ling Zhan's eyes.

"There's no need to wait if we want to compete. These monsters will definitely attack us later… Let's compete with something else. Whoever kills the most humanoid monsters will win! How about that?"

Ling Zhan was slightly stunned, and the fighting spirit in his heart suddenly erupted. "Alright!"

"Why are you still thinking about competing at a time like this? You're really perverted!"

Shi Meng, Li Qingshi, and Liu Qianqian were also speechless at how arrogant Chu Zhou and Ling Zhan were.

At this moment, the humanoid monsters that surrounded the crowd suddenly pounced at the crowd like a tide.

"Not good… The monsters are attacking. Repel them quickly."

"Damn it, why are these monsters so difficult to deal with? They were cut in half at the waist, but they didn't die!"

"F*ck, I was bitten by a monster. Will I be infected by the virus? Will I become a monster too? Damn, this is too ugly…"

Many students panicked and screamed.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 students died.

However, only a dozen humanoid monsters were killed.

Chu Zhou swung his hand and beheaded a humanoid monster that pounced on him.

However, he frowned immediately when he saw the humanoid monsters swarming over and killing more than 30 students in a short period of time.

"We can't go on like this. It's too chaotic. We have to organize everyone… Otherwise, we'll all be killed by the monsters in no time!"
