Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 244: Found You
Who is this mysterious elder?
People don’t know!
Because they have never seen him in the neighborhood!
Only the women of Lin Lang!
Their eyes slightly brightened:
“Could it be him?”
…
The crowd only saw!
The elder gently raised his hand, palm facing upward, as an invisible force surged from within him!
Turned into a dazzling light!
Instantly striking the ferocious beast.
In the face of this force, the beast was like fragile paper!
Easily knocked away, crashing heavily to the ground!
But it quickly got back up!
Roaring even more furiously:
“Roar!”
…
At this moment, everyone held their breath, having never witnessed such overwhelming power!
Even more so!
The neighborhood is surprisingly hiding such a nearly mythical existence!
Just as everyone was absorbed in the shock brought by the old monster!
Another beam of golden light descended!
Then!
An incredibly beautiful woman appeared!
She wore a golden gown, like the most radiant star in the night sky, each step exuding infinite charm and grace.
Making everyone believe they were witnessing a fairy descending to earth!
No!
She was not a fairy!
With such a presence!
She should be an empress!
…
Under the gaze of the crowd!
The fairy approached the elder and softly said:
“Old monster, leave this to you, I’m going to find him.”
…
The old monster smiled faintly, his deep eyes flashing with complex emotions:
“Go, be careful.”
…
The woman nodded gently, then her figure flickered, transforming into a golden streak of light, instantly vanishing from the crowd’s sight!
Leaving only an unforgettable trace of golden light lingering in the sky.
“Who was that?”
People were even more confused!
But Xu Bing’s eyes lit up!
His body trembled uncontrollably with excitement:
“It’s her! She’s back!”
…
Meanwhile!
In a secret cave within that dark forest!
Ning Shuangyu and a few survivors were curled up in a corner.
Their eyes were hollow, faces haggard, as if their souls were slowly being devoured by the invisible beast of hunger.
The wind outside the cave, mixed with the low growls of beasts, added to the eeriness and despair.
They found a temporary refuge in this place of despair, but the peace did not last long.
As time passed, their supplies gradually ran out!
Hunger, like an invisible beast, tore at each person’s heart, devouring their sanity and humanity.
People’s eyes turned hollow and insane, they started to stare at Ning Shuangyu with bloodshot eyes, as if wanting to devour her whole.
Ning Shuangyu tightly gripped a shriveled piece of bread, her last stash, but she knew this bread was but a drop in the ocean for easing everyone’s hunger.
She glanced around, every gaze was a mix of greed and despair, a madness on the verge of collapse.
“Ning Shuangyu, hand over the supplies! We’ve had enough of these hungry days!”
A voice echoed in the cave, filled with anger and despair.
Ning Shuangyu shook her head helplessly, she had already shared all her supplies with everyone, yet hungry people seemed never to be satisfied.
Beside her, the once mighty Xiaohu, now lay exhausted, its wounds faintly visible in the dim light!
It could not unleash its strength in the narrow cave, only helplessly guarding Ning Shuangyu.
“Ning Shuangyu, you can’t hide anymore! If necessary, give us Xiaohu, its meat is enough for us all to survive!”
Ning Shuangyu felt a chill in her heart, she looked up at the man, eyes full of disbelief and anger:
“Are you crazy? Xiaohu is our guardian, it’s wounded, how can we do this?”
But what responded to her was the approach and low curses of more people.
They began to close in on Ning Shuangyu, eyes gleaming with cruel light.
“Don’t force us to act! We’re really starving!”
Ning Shuangyu’s heart tightened, she knew these people were already driven insane by hunger!
But she also understood that once they handed over Xiaohu, she and these survivors would face an even more tragic fate.
“You can’t do this! Xiaohu is my friend!”
Ning Shuangyu’s tone was firm.
However, her words had no effect.
Their faces were covered in grime and exhaustion, their eyes contained only the desire to survive.
Morality?
They had completely given up on it!
“No more talking with her! Just act!”
The woman shouted, her voice trembling with excitement, hands already unconsciously reaching for Ning Shuangyu.
Ning Shuangyu stepped back nervously!
Xiaohu let out a low growl from the side, trying to use the last of its strength to intimidate these people who had lost their reason.
But the narrowness of the cave restricted its movements, and along with its own injuries, Xiaohu’s intimidation was greatly diminished.
“You’ll kill us all doing this!”
Ning Shuangyu tried to awaken these people’s conscience.
However!
Rationality seemed so fragile in the face of hunger.
People began to swarm, their eyes filled only with a craving for food, indifferent to life.
Ning Shuangyu fought with all her might to resist, but ultimately, she was outnumbered and was knocked hard to the ground!
Xiaohu was also besieged and let out a painful whimper.
“Stop! You’re going to destroy us doing this!”
Ning Shuangyu shouted hoarsely, but her voice was soon drowned out by the din of the crowd and Xiaohu’s wails.
“Captain Frosty, don’t worry!”
“We won’t harm you for now!”
“But if Xiaohu’s meat isn’t enough for us to eat, then that’s another story!”
Upon hearing this, Ning Shuangyu!
Couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart!
At that moment!
The cave was filled with despair and chaos, and the bottom line of humanity collapsed completely under the compulsion of hunger.
Ning Shuangyu desperately tried to protect Xiaohu, but hunger and despair made people extraordinarily fierce.
Xiaohu, strong as it was, also struggled in such an environment.
Just as the situation was descending into despair, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the cave.
Is it rescue? Or a new threat?
…
A dark shadow suddenly flashed past the entrance, accompanied by a deep and fierce roar, and a Fierce Beast with a blackened eye burst into the cave!
It was a wild wolf!
Its large body was muscular, exuding an aura of menace that set hearts pounding!
It was like a demon crawling out of hell!
In an instant, it shattered the chaos inside the cave.
“Ah—!”
People screamed in terror, scattering everywhere, but the narrow cave limited their movement, and many fell to the ground, the chaos filled with despair and fear.
Xiaohu, who had always guarded Ning Shuangyu, immediately stood out at seeing the situation!
Standing in front of its master.
Even though it was seriously injured itself, faced with this sudden threat, it still stood out without hesitation, ready to fight to the death.
“Xiaohu, be careful!”
Ning Shuangyu shouted nervously, her voice trembling with anxiety.
Xiaohu glanced back at Ning Shuangyu, as if to tell her:
“Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
Then, it turned around again, faced the Fierce Beast, and let out an ear-shattering roar.
The people inside the cave, although afraid.
Seeing Xiaohu standing at the front, they breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but shout:
“Xiaohu, kill it!”
“If you win, we won’t eat you!”
“We’ll eat it!”
…
The Fierce Beast and Xiaohu clashed with a terrifying noise!
And after a fierce struggle, Xiaohu, with its tenacity and courage, defeated the Fierce Beast!
But behind the victory was its more severe injury!
Xiaohu’s body was already trembling and seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
…
But unexpectedly for everyone!
Before the wild wolf closed its eyes!
Its face suddenly displayed an extremely human-like sinister smile, which was hair-raising!
Even!
It uttered human words in a hoarse voice, saying:
“Hehe! Found you all!”
…
Ning Shuangyu rushed forward heartbroken, wanting to feed Xiaohu some food, hoping it could recover some strength.
But her actions were immediately opposed by others:
“Captain Frosty! It’s clearly not going to survive, you might as well save the food for us!”
Their voices were full of indifference and selfishness, completely ignoring the chance of survival Xiaohu just fought for them!
Ning Shuangyu looked at these people angrily, her heart full of disappointment and helplessness.
She knew, in this world full of despair and chaos!
The glow of humanity seemed to have dimmed to nothing.
But she still refused to give up, she held Xiaohu tightly, and said with a trembling voice:
“Xiaohu, don’t be afraid, I won’t let you die.”
Ning Shuangyu’s heart was filled with determination and tragic strength!
She knew!
Staying here would only be a dead end.
This Fierce Beast is likely a scout of the Evil Spirit!
Which means!
The Evil Spirit probably already discovered their hiding place!
“No matter what, I have to fight my way out!”
Ning Shuangyu silently vowed in her heart, her eyes glimmering with unyielding light.
She would rather die fighting!
Than become the food of those people!
Nor would she await death in despair.
Thus!
She took a deep breath, summoned her courage, and rushed out of the cave!
