Chapter 274: Unwelcomed guest

Heartless was not called heartless.

Only during the apocalypse when his loved ones, kids, and family all die in various ways. He felt like his heart was gone, so when others asked him his name, he said he was called heartless.

He was just an empty shell that was living on instinct.

He had never smoked in the past as he felt like a few thousand dollars could be saved to buy two good toys. He could also use the money to buy a second-rate luxury bag.

But he smoked now. Even when he used food and water to make women that were much more beautiful than his lover take their clothes off, he was still smoking.

He felt like when smoke billowed in front of his eyes; he would see the shadows in his soul. That feeling was something he was addicted to.

Maybe his thoughts at that very moment would be eternal.

“Brother Heartless, things aren’t right outside.”

A helper walked over and said.

Heartless stood up, knowing his subordinate wouldn’t sprout nonsense. No one dared to sprout nonsense during the apocalypse.

He walked to the window and looked out. As this was the first story, he couldn’t see much, but it was enough to cover the entire street.

There was nothing.

No zombies, no mutated plants or animals, there were even... No corpses.

This was not normal. Ying City was covered in corpses. If there was a street without any of such things, it was not expected.

It was too clean.

Renxing Battle Squad occupied this place for many days, and the entire squad prepared many things for this trading event. Although they cleared the area around but after a few days, a few zombies would wander over. This morning, Heartless even used his crossbow to kill several zombies.

But now, those corpses were gone!

“Be wary; send someone to inform the boss.”

Renxing Battle Squad was the top faction in Ying City for a reason. Bai Feng’s helpers all had something they were good at. Heartless was known for being calm. Of course, at the crucial moment, he was vicious.

His heart was gone, so there was nothing he had to fear.

Heartless’s team went into battle stations. One ran up to inform Bai Feng, who was in the meeting. Two others wore thick metal armor and walked out from the side door to scout.

Heartless looked around, and one of his hands turned pitch black.

This was what happened when his job Plague Sentry was used.

Si si si!

A weird sound spread into their ears. The people outside scouting heard too. As they were outside, they could hear it much more clearly. Then, their expressions changed.

“Be careful of above!”

Heartless looked at his men’s expression and knew that something was about to occur. He shouted and brought everyone away from the window. The next moment, many small black shadows smashed into the strengthened glass.

“What?”

Some survivors reacted slowly, and the black shadow got close. In a panic, they wanted to use their hands to smack the thing away.

But they felt pain when their hand touched it. They panicked and waved their weapons at it.

Heartless retreated while glancing at his men. That black shadow wasn’t afraid of the weapon’s attack. It bit the throat of the survivor.

No blood spurted, and no flesh flew. That survivor’s body dried up, and that black monster showed itself.

It was a monster that was made out of mist that looked like a fox and also like a wolf. It was only 20-30 centimeters long and floated in the air. It was swift, and its attack should be strong. If not, that one star evolved wouldn’t have been defenseless.

Heartless hollered. His black palm stabbed into the black smoke, and he used his job skill Plague Corrosion!

Both sides cried out.

The Black Wolf Soul turned green, and the face formed from the mist twisted. Its expression was human-like. Then it scattered.

Heartless cried out too, and he looked at his right hand. It was black, but now there were white bones at his fingers.

Rushed footsteps spread from the streets. His two men screamed. Heartless knew they had met an opponent today, and he shouted to his terrified men, “Fight while retreating. Head up to gather with the boss!”

Heartless had undoubtedly made a good choice. Although Renxing Battle Squad didn’t fully mobilize, those faction bosses didn’t bring many men, but they were the strongest in Ying City. If they worked together, they were strong enough to sweep everything. As long as he got up, his men and he would be saved.

A team of soldiers covered in black uniforms appeared at the door. The main entrance that was blocked by items was turned into scraps. The uniform grey axe gave out a cold light, and they surged toward the bodies of the retreating Renxing Battle Squad members.

In Ying City, there was a reason why Renxing Battle Squad was famous. It was because they were all evolved. So even if their squad wasn’t massive but they were still first. Any people who saw them fight would be shocked by their strength.

But today, they met their match.

Those warriors in black uniforms behaved more like an army. They were decisive and firm in their decision-making.

Heartless was a two-star evolved and also a job user. He led many one-star evolved. Under the threat of the Black Wolf Soul, they lasted less than ten seconds before they collapsed.

Collapse meant death. Heartless didn’t have a heart. He lay on the ground, and he felt cold. Those shadows appeared before him, and this time he knew that he could finally head over to find them.

....................................................................................

The entire trading hall was silent.

“Boss Bai, what is the meaning of this?”

Those people thought that Bai Feng had caused this, so their expressions weren’t good.

“They are my men.” Bai Feng’s face turned vicious.

He heard the screams, and those were sounds that people would make when they were in despair.

The meeting door was pushed open, and men covered in blood stumbled in. His eyes lit up when he saw Bai Feng. He wanted to say something, but his body froze. In front of everyone, he turned into a dried corpse.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that.

Orderly footsteps spread from outside, which gave the people here huge pressure. Bai Feng and those closer retreated.

A moment later, a strong figure crossed his arms and appeared before everyone. Beside him were 15 floating Black Wolf Souls.

Behind him were a few dozen fully armed warriors.

“I am thrilled to see all of you.” The muscular guy started to speak. He didn’t care about these Ying City elites.

“How did it feel when you got your first evolution potion? Right, I have that feeling now.”

He spread his arms and made a hugging motion. His eyes were filled with a look of craze.

“Come pigs, contribute to your Lord Demon Gold!”

What replied to him was an eye-catching blade light.

Ye Zhongming was unexpectedly the first to attack.
