Chapter 60 Ruins
The sky was dark, with no sight of the sun, moon or stars, only dark clouds covering the sky.

Rumble~
Thunder roared as the clouds rolled.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, dense electric snakes intertwined in the sky, briefly illuminating the dim sky for a moment.

Revealing the dilapidated city.

Wow~
Heavy rain poured down.

Dripping on the muddy road and among the broken walls, the city that should have been bustling with lights and wine, now had only the sound of rain echoing in the steel jungle.

boom!
A pale streak of light flashed across the sky.

In a commercial building that was broken in half, a group of people carefully groped their way along the road and searched for supplies in each room.

There are five people in the team.

There were three men and two women, their clothes were slightly torn and soaked, but no one cared about it. Instead, they focused on what was happening at hand.

"Shh, be careful."

The leader was a man in his thirties.

He has a sturdy build, and although his face looks a little weak, it is probably because he did not eat enough and has insufficient energy and blood.

But judging from his still steady steps and even breathing, he is a martial artist who has practiced kung fu and has reached a high level of martial arts.

The leader gestured with his fingers, signaling everyone to be quiet. After the five people gathered together, he spoke in a very quiet voice:
"It is rumored that there are those things around here, so we should try to avoid them."

Even speaking so quietly, the leader was still a little nervous.

As if he was afraid of something, he kept his eyes and ears open while speaking.

"What? Why don't we run away?"

The expressions of the remaining four people changed when they heard this.

His originally calm expression instantly turned into one of fear. If he wasn't afraid of alarming those things by running too fast, he would have been ready to run away!
They are all ordinary warriors, and their strength is just okay.

How to deal with those things?
"Quiet!"

The leading man glared at a few people and said:

"Don't forget, the food in the camp is running low. If we can't bring food and water, I'm afraid..."

Everyone fell silent.

Food and water, which were once readily available, now require life-threatening conditions to obtain.

Even though the era of spiritual practice has arrived, the physical fitness of the entire nation has been greatly improved, and at least some of them have developed Ming Jin.

But still pin it on your head.

Exploring a mission is no less than a life-and-death struggle. It is so difficult that it is beyond words. Every time you have to do everything you can to survive.

"Ok?"

In the team, a woman in her twenties looked hesitant. She pointed to the broken steel bars and concrete not far away and said uncertainly:

"Is there a person there?"

They all looked at it.

Sure enough, more than ten meters away
A wide gap seemed to run through the building, the corridor was broken into two sections, large pieces of steel and concrete were exposed, and rainwater was dripping in.

At the end, there seemed to be a person lying there.

"Could it be that he smashed it open by force?"

Another girl dressed as a student lowered her voice and said in surprise:

"Wait, according to this trajectory, it seems that he was thrown down from a high altitude and smashed the building through?"

Glancing around, the girl came to an incredible conclusion.

This kind of physical strength is not something that ordinary warriors can possess.

“It should be a cultivator.”

The leader frowned slightly and then said:

"It seems that he has most likely fought with those things before. He must be a cultivator of a high level. He might have already entered a state of meditation and advanced to the extraordinary level!"

"However, this kind of injury is probably already..."

The leading man shook his head.

With this kind of injury and looking at the broken steel and concrete around it, even a transcendental being would not be able to survive this kind of attack.

"Anyway, let's take a look."

The girl dressed as a student said:
"If he is still alive, we can just give him some more food. We will be much safer and won't have to worry every day."

Several people nodded in approval.

Those who are still alive now are not fools. They know that the more powerful the person is, the safer they are around.

If there could be a master at the meditation level in the camp, at least they would be able to sleep peacefully and even no longer have to endure hunger.

"Let's go over and have a look."

The leading man thought for a moment and then spoke.

The five of them took action immediately, nimbly passing through the ruins, bypassing broken walls and rubble, and arrived at the final location of the trace that tore the building apart.

Rumble!
There were lightning and thunder in the sky.

They saw a young man lying on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Drowsiness and weakness.

Perception has faded to the extreme.

A fatigue that I hadn't felt for a long time came from all over my limbs, along with a little pain and numbness, which flooded into my mind.

"I'm alive?"

Wang Chao's mind gradually became clear.

He tried to move his hands and feet, but there was no response at all. Then he tried to use his mental power, but there was only a slight fluctuation.

Only then did he remember.

I was shot down here when I was trying to stop Zhou Yan from implementing a certain plan.

"Such a serious injury"

Wang Chao thought of Zhou Yan's abnormal behavior that day, and his heart became even heavier:
"I don't know if his plan succeeded. With his power that surpasses the state of meditation and forgetfulness, I'm afraid no one can stop him."

Now he was seriously injured, and it was difficult for him to even check his own physical condition with his mental strength, let alone search for human luck and various qi.

Moreover, the situation is probably not optimistic.

It seems that no one has noticed that I have suffered this level of damage.

That means
"We must recover as soon as possible, and then find a way to stop Zhou Yan!"

Wang Chao was certain in his mind, and then he tried various methods, constantly adjusting his physical condition. After a long time, he finally regained some consciousness.

"Look, he seems to be moving?" "Quick, give him water immediately, and then crush some food and feed it to him!"

Suddenly, there was a whisper in Wang Chao's ear.

With a little identification, it can be found that there are five people, three men and two women. They have practiced martial arts, and the strongest one is about the level of dark energy.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Wang Chao felt the wetness at the corner of his mouth, and a bit of meat was put into his mouth.

With the influx of mineral water and food.

Wang Chao hurriedly used his remaining strength to chew. As the food fell into his stomach, he immediately used his strength to catalyze and absorb the nutrients.

In just a moment, a ray of warmth began to rise.

call!
Wang Chao opened his eyes and stood up slightly.

Then, he saw five people around him with nervous faces.

"You, are you awake?"

A burly man among the five asked.

"Well, thank you very much."

Wang Chao nodded, looked at the clothes of several people, frowned and said:
"My name is Wang Chao. Thank you for your help, but what's the matter with your outfits? Where are the people from the Holy Evolution Domain Group?"

The five people looked at each other.

The cultivator is very mysterious and is suspected to be at a very high level of cultivation. His name is Wang Chao. Isn’t he the top master who mysteriously disappeared?
While he was in a daze, the burly man answered:

“My name is Chen Chao, and as for our attire, we are actually here to pick up rubbish.

As for the Sacred Evolution Domain Group, we don't know, but I'm afraid that under the 'Great Disaster', the situation will not be much better."

"Cataclysm?"

Wang Chao's uneasiness was confirmed.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chao thought that he might have fought with some existence, which was why he had been unconscious here without any recovery and was not even aware of the catastrophe.

But in my heart, I felt much more at ease.

Rumor has it that this Wang Chao has already reached almost the pinnacle of the cultivation system, and his strength is only second to that of the founder of the extraordinary system.

Even though he is injured now, he is still much stronger than them.

"Yes, that is it."

Chen Chao pointed to the broken part of the building.

Wang Chao turned his eyes and his pupils shrank instantly.

Through the fault space.

Wang Chao saw a red curtain covering the sky and the sun, like a wall that stretched from heaven to earth, surrounding the boundary line as far as he could see.

“I don’t know which bastard did it, but three months ago, red walls fell from the sky, covering everything in sight.

Communications failed and we were unable to contact the outside world.

Then countless things appeared out of nowhere and started slaughtering people wantonly!"

Chen Chao said with a vicissitudes of life:

"Now there is no official news at all. This city has long been dead, and only we survivors are left to survive."

"Those things?"

Wang Chao noticed what Chen Chao mentioned in his words.

"Yes, those things have strange shapes, a bit like a combination of humans and insects. I don't know if they are the product of biochemical experiments."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said:

“I don’t know much, but what is certain is that these monsters are extremely powerful, fast, and have strong perception. They have no obvious weaknesses, and their overall abilities are terrifying, while some are weak.

But he is strong enough to rival those extraordinary practitioners."

"We call those things 'weirdos'."

"The fall of the city today is due to them."

"Weird man, bloody curtain?"

Wang Chao fell into deep thought.

There is a huge amount of information at the moment, and he needs to organize his thoughts and then find a solution.

However, Wang Chao was sure that this was definitely related to Zhou Yan.

“The energy content of these meats is too low.”

Wang Chao's heart paused, and he felt the warmth in his body gradually dissipating.

However, his physical strength has now recovered a little bit. Although it is not much, it can still carry a certain amount of mental power.

Wang Chao mobilized his mental power, pulling extremely subtle energy to nourish and repair his injuries.

In the state of Zuowang, no matter how serious the injury is, there is always a way to recover.

"Well, this is it?"

Wang Chao had just resumed the use of his mental power when he noticed a spot of light appearing in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately probed his mental power into it.

In an instant, information poured in.

[Soul test, cycle of truth and falsehood.]

[If we can break through the limitations of the curtain, unite all human beings, step out of the cage of self, and truly unleash the potential of the mind. ]

【All casualties are like a dream. 】

[If it fails, falsehood will replace reality, and the earth will become the new hell. ]

A piece of information consists of just a few sentences.

Wang Chao was exhausted, and looked up at the sky with a gloomy expression:

"What an arrogant 'God', giving humans a test. Life and death, truth and falsehood, all depend on your thoughts. What a big mouth you have.

We'll settle with you once we break free of the cage!"

Wang Chao still has mixed feelings about Zhou Yan.

After all, apart from Tang Zichen, Zhou Yan was the first person who made him realize the power of martial arts, and he also taught him Taoism, so he could be considered a half guide.

But right now, we cannot work together because of our different beliefs.

At that time, we can only be hostile.

"Chen Chao, right?"

Wang Chao looked at the five people waiting on the side and said softly:
"We need to lead the survivors and unite everyone's strength to regain the future for mankind."
