Chapter 691: Shrouded in Death

Huang Shuyue did not gloat over the successful killing of the three silver monsters; on the contrary, she was very cautious.

Of the three planned deployments, only two had been completed. Rather than risking an ambush by silver monsters to go and deploy the last one, it was better to be safe and ensure the safety of herself and her companions.

The bodyguards had no objections to Huang Shuyue's decision. Although they had stepped onto the Divine Path and possessed extraordinary power, they were truly convinced by Huang Shuyue... So even though the Huang Consortium was gone, and even though Huang Shuyue had spent all her wealth, they were still willing to follow her.

Perhaps this was the power brought by personal charisma.

"Let's go."

Huang Shuyue led the group straight toward the shelter.

The bodyguard known as "Xiao Wu" stood on the ruins of the explosion, slowly crouching down to examine the pile of broken corpses.

"Strange... no organs, no flesh, no brain... what do these guys rely on to make decisions, and what do they rely on to act?"

Xiao Wu muttered, his eyes full of confusion.

But that was no longer important. His task was just to act as bait and use the Miss's explosive traps to reduce the number of silver monsters as much as possible. As for where these monsters came from, there was no need to delve into it.

Xiao Wu stood up and was about to walk back to the street when, the next moment, he seemed to notice something and looked back blankly...

*Swoosh*—!!

Two sharp silver blades suddenly emerged from his chest!

They were two long silver blades that had pierced through his chest from behind. As Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, in his gradually blurring vision, he saw two more tall silver monsters that had quietly appeared behind him!

……

"Mom, this bread smells so good!"

Inside the shelter, a large number of people were queuing up to receive bread. The drivers, doctors, and the butler who had been the first to get off the Huang Consortium's convoy had already arrived at the shelter, and most of the food had been distributed.

At this moment, a child who had traveled a long way from Penglai Town was holding a piece of bread in both hands, eating it in large bites as if he were starving.

"Be good, let's eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from us." The mother stroked the child's head, looking at the mountain of supplies in the distance, her eyes full of emotion. "The people who handed out the bread said that these things will last us a long time."

"We searched the whole way before coming here and couldn't find anywhere to buy food, not even the local residents had any... Who would have thought they could distribute it for free here? The main city is the main city after all; the government's arrangements are indeed very meticulous." Another refugee finished his bread and couldn't help but praise.

"This doesn't seem to be distributed by the main city government, right?"

"If not the government, who else could distribute relief food at a time like this? And so much of it?"

"I don't know... those people didn't say who they were, they just kept handing out bread. Before they came, many people had already fainted from hypoglycemia and hunger, and in the end, it was that doctor who took care of them."

"When they are done, let's go ask. No matter who they are, good people deserve a safe life..."

“……”

Just as the refugees in the shelter were cheering for the bread that had fallen from the sky, a roar of an explosion suddenly came from above. Dust drifted down from the ceiling, and everyone froze in place.

These refugees had come here for shelter and naturally knew the situation in the Red Dust main city. Hearing the explosion above, their hearts jumped into their throats. The shelter, which had been filled with whispers, instantly fell into deathly silence.

"Mom... what happened?" the child asked in a low voice.

The mother did not answer, but looked nervously at the ceiling above, her face deathly pale.

No one responded, and the confusion in the child's eyes grew stronger. He looked toward the corner of the shelter, where there was a small street drain that let in a glimmer of light from the outside... After hesitating for a moment, he walked toward it softly.

With his small stature, he climbed up the pipe ladder in the corner, his eyes curiously peering outside through the drain.

This drain was only a palm high and couldn't fit anyone through, but through it, he could see a narrow corner of the street...

It was a road with drizzling rain, and streams of rainwater flowed down the drain. At this moment, on the other side of the road, a young girl and three bodyguards were walking straight toward the shelter.

The next moment, they seemed to see something, and their figures stopped abruptly!

……

On the street.

Four silver monsters were walking toward them.

The moment Huang Shuyue saw them, her pupils contracted sharply. She subconsciously took half a step back and turned to call Xiao Wu over, but just as she turned halfway, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

On the other side of the street, two tall silver monsters were dragging Xiao Wu's blood-soaked corpse, also approaching them.

"How could this be..." The three bodyguards' faces turned pale.

"How, how could they come so fast??"

From detonating the hardware store and killing the three silver monsters until now, it hadn't even been two minutes... And in these two minutes, six silver monsters had gathered, and they had silently killed Xiao Wu in return?!

Huang Shuyue was stunned; she hadn't expected such a turn of events... She felt her reaction had been fast enough. Even if there were other silver monsters active nearby, hearing the explosion and rushing over, they shouldn't have come in such numbers all at once.

For some reason, in Huang Shuyue's mind, the image of the last silver monster's body rippling with tremors before it died suddenly flashed back...

She seemed to realize something and gritted her teeth:

"Damn it... that monster was sending a distress signal before it died!"

With four in front and two behind, under the deliberate blockade of these silver monsters, Huang Shuyue and the others had nowhere to escape. Plus, the only Third-Order pillar among them was dead, and a sense of impending death surged into everyone's hearts.

The three bodyguards looked at each other, seeing the determination in each other's eyes. They said solemnly:

"Miss, please protect yourself first... No matter what, we will do our best to carve a bloody path for you!"

Huang Shuyue was startled. Before she could say anything, the three bodyguards had already shot out!

Two rushed toward the four silver monsters on the left, and the other rushed toward the two silver monsters on the right that had ambushed and killed Xiao Wu. At the same time, the six silver monsters also charged, and a chaotic street battle erupted!

In the street, Huang Shuyue's hair was blown about by the aftermath of the battle. As the only ordinary person here without any Divine Path protection, she was so fragile that any silver monster rushing over could easily kill her. At this moment, Huang Shuyue's first reaction was to find a place to hide as soon as possible!

Huang Shuyue's gaze instantly locked onto the well-hidden underground steps not far away, which was the entrance to the underground shelter.

Just as she took a step, preparing to hide in the shelter, the head of a silver monster in the melee suddenly turned 180 degrees. On its hollow face, a gaze had already locked onto Huang Shuyue!

Huang Shuyue's steps froze in mid-air.
