Chapter 31: Ascending the High-rise, Riot in the Business District

"Argh!!"

The Hurricane White Wolf, infuriated by Jeremy's trickery, transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging at him with ferocious momentum.

Seeing the Hurricane White Wolf and the surrounding monsters gathering towards him again, Jeremy's eyes flickered.

The duration of his skill was about to end, and he was now less than 200 meters away from the commercial building.

But the speed of the Hurricane White Wolf was too fast. If he didn't deal with it, Jeremy had no way to ascend.

With that thought, Jeremy made up his mind.

He stealthily took out his remaining four M67 grenades, pulled the pins, and threw them all at the Hurricane White Wolf.

The Hurricane White Wolf, with a ferocious gaze, was undeterred, thinking that this despicable human was toying with it again.

However, the next moment, a torrent of flames suddenly erupted!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!"

The grenades exploded beneath the Hurricane White Wolf's feet, and the wild flames instantly engulfed it and the surrounding monsters.

[You have killed a Level 14 Goblin Knight (Common), gaining 1789 experience points!]

[You have killed a Level 15 Mutated Black Bear (Common), gaining 2067 experience points!]

[You have killed a Level 15 Zombie Crawler (Elite), gaining 4397 experience points!]

...

Dust and debris flew in all directions, and the terrifying explosion instantly blew up more than twenty monsters into pieces, with limbs and innards flying everywhere. Even the Hurricane White Wolf was left bloodied and mangled.

This time, Jeremy had thrown all four grenades in the same spot. Although the explosion range was reduced, the damage was multiplied several times over.

In the blink of an eye, a golden glow shone on him again.

[Your level has increased to 16, you have gained 20 free attribute points!]

[You have gained class fixed attributes, Strength +30, Spirit +30, Stamina +15, Agility +15!]

At this moment, Jeremy's strength attribute had reached 1070 points, officially breaking the thousand mark.

Powerful strength surged within him. Jeremy felt as if his body had undergone some qualitative change at this moment, gaining even more control over his strength.

In addition to that, Jeremy still had 80 free attribute points unused.

As he was considering how to use these attribute points, a shadow suddenly burst out of the smoke and dust from the explosion.

It was the Hurricane White Wolf.

The wolf had turned into a charred black color, its skin cracked open to reveal fresh, red flesh, with blood continuously flowing out of its densely packed wounds, and one of its eyes had been blinded by shrapnel.

The once majestic Hurricane White Wolf now looked utterly miserable, not even comparable to a stray dog.

The Hurricane White Wolf, looking at Jeremy with its remaining eye filled with madness.

The intense pain had driven it insane. At this moment, in the eyes of the Hurricane White Wolf, there was only Jeremy, the cause of its current state.

"Howl!" The Hurricane White Wolf let out an angry howl, its muscles tensed, and the air around it suddenly turned violent. Then, with a powerful force from its limbs, its agile figure instantly turned into a black shadow, recklessly charging at Jeremy.

It was determined to make this human pay for hurting it!

Watching the Hurricane White Wolf charging at him, Jeremy remained calm.

Then, grabbing the edge of a landing window and finding a foothold, he swiftly ascended.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

In the commercial square, countless monsters surged crazily!

They were packed tightly together, stepping on the heads of other monsters, and madly pouncing towards Jeremy.

However, these monsters were either nimbly dodged by Jeremy or kicked down by him. Even some monsters that could move on walls as if on flat ground were beheaded by Jeremy once they got close.

Tens of thousands of monsters could only watch helplessly as Jeremy, the piece of "fat meat", climbed higher and higher until they could no longer reach him.

The sky lightened with the first glimmer of dawn, and the sun slowly rose from the horizon.

The light of dawn spilled over the land, with Jeremy leaping agilely atop the commercial building.

His figure was incredibly agile, quickly moving towards the floor where Claire was located.

In the commercial square, the Devouring Tyrant, which was consuming corpses, paused its movements.

The human heads on its body looked up at Jeremy, muttering,

"Blasphemer..."

Had Jeremy heard this, he would have felt chills down his spine.

Because this monster actually knew he was a blasphemer!

...

Meanwhile, at the City Hall, in the mayor's office.

Benjamin was handling affairs behind his desk, while Eina was helping him sort and summarize messages from different areas.

"Mayor, we have a problem!" Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Following that, the head of the security department, Dana, rushed in with a panic-stricken face.

It was clear he had hurried over, even wearing his shoes on the wrong feet.

Benjamin put down the document in his hand, looked up, and asked, "What happened?"

His tone was very calm. After the outbreak of the apocalypse, such situations occurred dozens of times every hour, and Benjamin had become immune to them.

Given that it's already the apocalypse, how much worse could things get?

"Take a drink, and speak slowly." Eina, unfazed as well, poured a glass of water for Dana.

Dana was too panicked to even catch his breath, let alone drink water.

He said with a frightened look, "There's big trouble. Our people observed that the monsters in the commercial district are rioting!"

At these words, Benjamin and Eina's expressions changed dramatically.

"What did you say?!" Benjamin stood up abruptly, shocked.

It wasn't surprising that Benjamin had such a strong reaction, given the commercial district's importance.

The monsters there had already formed a large scale, with preliminary estimates of at least 100,000, including the emergence of BOSS-level monsters.

The commercial district was located in the center of Moonlight City. If the monsters there rioted, the impact would radiate throughout Moonlight City, centered on the commercial district.

Then, not only would the people in the commercial district suffer, but the entire Moonlight City would also face a great disaster.
