While the Devourer reared by Chu Fan was eating up those poisonous vipers outside of town, different events were happening at different locations around the town.
Those people who were saved by Qin Feng had shuffled toward the city one after another as instructed by their savior.
However, not everyone was able to arrive safely at Central Square. The city was too vast while cars were not a viable option due to the chaotic and crowded situation.
There were not many people left in the slum area close to the edge of the city. But out of nowhere, there came a series of curses along with the sound of running footsteps.
"You b*tch! Keep running! Look at your obese body. That's breaking ugly!"
"Damn you, how dare you slap me. You must be tired of living!"
"HAHAHA, let her run. Let's see how far she can go before she gives up!"
Wang Qin was running madly in the alley.
She was an ugly-looking woman. Standing at 1. 75 meters tall, she had a bloated waist and her weight was around two hundred pounds. She was already running with all her might. The fats on her body were screaming exhaustion.
Behind Wang Qin were four aptitude users. The most powerful among them was a D3-tier ancient warrior.
The leader, who was clearly the most indignant among them, was an E-tier ability user. The redness in the shape of a palm was still apparent on his face.
Earlier on the city wall, Wang Qin was caught in a fight with the four hooligans. She even slapped one of them out of fear and confusion. Now, she had to face their wrath and mockery.
She tried to run as fast as she could since she was familiar with the twists and turns of the slum area. Yet, she knew that the people chasing after her were just making fun of her.
Wang Qin was filled with despair and resentment!
She quickened her pace and entered a small supermarket.
She was familiar with the supermarket layout. There should be a back door at the rear. She rushed in and kicked a shelf on her way in. The shelf fell and temporarily hindered her pursuers.
They stopped abruptly and started scolding.
"You must be tired of living?!"
"Hmmph, this is really troublesome. It'll still be fun if you run properly. Now you are just forcing us to kill you."
"Hehe. This pile of sh*t. I can't even look at her for another second. Just get done with her already!"
As they spoke, someone among them had already taken their guns out and was ready to give Wang Qin a bullet to the head.
Wang Qin was perspiring heavily. Strangely enough, every nerve in her body was jolted alive. She could almost sense the malicious intent of her pursuers through her hairs and pores. It seemed like everything had slowed down dramatically. She saw a row of shelves with some knives displayed on it. Without further consideration, she took out one of the sharper-looking ones.
'No big deal, we can just die together. These haughty aptitude users! It would be worth it if I can bring one of them to hell with me. '
Wang Qin's eyes were now filled with violent rage. She turned back, determined to put her life on the line.
It was at this moment, there suddenly came a deep roaring sound.
"Rrrrrrrr..."
The scent of blood rushed in through their nostrils. Only now they realized the messy state of the supermarket. The front door was forced through and there were bloodstains everywhere.
By the time they realized the imminent danger, it was already too late. Following the sound, their sights went sideways with their eyes widening.
A huge tiger was standing right at the corner of the supermarket.
It was badly injured!
If Qin Feng were here, he would recognize the tiger immediately because it was the same tiger that had its tail chopped off by him.
Bang bang bang!
One of the gunners fired the gun wildly. He got lucky with one of the bullets hit right on the tiger's eye.
Or maybe not so lucky. The tiger went mad for being injured the second time in succession. It sprang and bit off the E-tier aptitude user's head.
A loud fighting noise ensued, accompanied by the panicked screams of those aptitude users. Out of the four aptitude users, three of them died on the spot.
The only survivor, the D-tier ancient warrior, was tangled up with the injured beast.
Poof!
The sword of the ancient warrior pierced right into the other eye of the tiger. However, the tiger had reached his stomach first and tore his abdomen apart.
After that, the tiger turned to Wang Qin and pounced on her.
"Ahhhhh!" Wang Qin shrieked. She brandished the weapon in her hand wildly. The kitchen knife coincidentally hit the handle of the longsword put into the tiger's eye by the D-tier ancient warrior.
Poof!
The sword pierced deeper into the tiger's bone and penetrated its skull.
Wang Qin was still brandishing the weapon with her eyes closed, unaware that the tiger was already dead. She continued attacking the tiger until blood splashed all over her face!
It was only when she swallowed the beast's blood that she stopped her movements. An unprecedented power ran through her body.
Wang Qin finally regained her composure. Yet, her eyes were beaming with madness. Staring at the knife she was holding, then on the dead tiger covered with blood, she thought of something outrageous but entirely possible.
'This feeling... Don't tell me... '
Wang Qin gathered herself up. She grabbed the D-tier ancient warrior's sword, pulled it out, then dived face first into the tiger's face and bit its eyes off.
Eyeballs, blood, and the brain. She devoured everything greedily.
A powerful force soon filled her body. Even her breathing rhythm had changed. Her strength was inflated rapidly.
G-tier...
F-tier...
E-tier...
Wang Qin now possessed a power that she has never dreamed of. From an ordinary person, she had completed her transformation into an aptitude user.
Wang Qin hurled the huge tiger's carcass and ran to the secret basement of the supermarket to hide.
"Haha, now that I am an aptitude user, why do I need to leave? I might conquer this place one day!"
She tore down a piece of meat, did not care that it was still raw, then chewed and swallowed it.
***
Qin Feng used only two hours to arrive at the city center, which was much faster than the others. He soon reached the villa area.
The villa area was usually as dreamy as a painting during sunset. Now it simply looked eerie. The once smooth and clean road was now broken and infiltrated by grass. All the luxury cars inside the area had become a pile of rusty metal. The people here were stranded and could not find a way out.
Qin Feng walked to the villa area and was surprised to find that there were very few beasts around here. When he reached the most luxurious zone, he realized that beast repellents had been spread all around the compound. Besides, he also saw silhouettes inside the building.
It seemed like the people here had already teamed up to protect themselves.
Qin Feng stepped into the range of the beast repellent and had clearly caught the attention of the people inside the villa.
Even without consciousness, Qin Feng could still sense the glares and subconsciously looked up.
He was met by a row of guns set on the window rail.
