Chapter 5: Feast of Slaughter

After leaving the house, Chen Feng banished the inferior demon to the abyss.

The appearance of the inferior demon was too bizarre. Even with its astonishing aura that could drive away many small creatures, it also attracted unnecessary attention and trouble. Fortunately, Chen Feng had made a contract with it. With just a thought, this ugly predator would appear by his side.

Chaos.

At this moment, the street had turned into a scene of fleeing. Countless people were running away, followed by some eerie and ferocious predators.

Several bodies slowly advanced, and the sudden surge of energy revived these long-buried corpses. Before evolving, they were the servants of flesh and blood, mindlessly devouring all living beings. Those bitten by them would be infected with corpse poison, transforming into the same rotten form.

On the other hand, countless cats, dogs, mice, and rabbits were also crazily chasing after humans. These once gentle animals now had bloodshot eyes and moved at more than twice their usual speed. Although lacking the horrifying corpse poison, their sharp claws and speed were their tools for harvesting lives.

In addition to these native creatures that had just undergone a mutation, there were also some distinctly different beings in the chaotic crowd. There were beetles the size of millstones, and maggots that sprayed liquid from their mouths, which, upon contact, would cause severe corrosion.

Giant rock beetles, sulfuric acid worms.

As the apocalypse struck, in addition to the inexplicable energy appearing in the air, numerous dimensional rifts also suddenly appeared, from which these predators emerged.

Blood, screams, and roars.

Countless scenes of horror appeared at this moment. Chen Feng swiftly took a step and ran towards the route he remembered.

A convenience store nearby.

Although he leaned towards being a spiritual summoner, Chen Feng's body had been strengthened. Whether it was his reflexes or agility, they had surpassed the range of an ordinary person.

In the ocean, sharks would not relentlessly pursue a school of agile fish. The fleeing crowd provided Chen Feng with an excellent opportunity, and in an instant, he entered the nearby convenience store.

A feast of slaughter.

The chaotic crowd attracted most of the monsters. Only when there was no one left alive on the street would the shops and houses be extensively attacked. Therefore, Chen Feng had enough time to search for food.

The convenience store's customers had long fled after the riot, so it was empty.

After closing the windows and blocking the door with shelves, this place became Chen Feng's temporary base.

"I need high-calorie food."

"Chocolate, bread, meat..."

After wandering around the convenience store, Chen Feng had a huge bag in his hand. In addition to food, there were also several large containers of water. The inferior demon's stomach was huge, and these were unopened food items. As long as he ordered it to swallow, it could be used as a mobile storage space.

The small space of the convenience store, coupled with its location in the bustling city, was not suitable for hiding. However, the targets during the day were too obvious, so Chen Feng planned to leave here at night.

"Rustling..."

A sound rang out.

"Is someone there?"

The sound came from the cash register. There was no smell of blood or monsters, so it was likely that someone was hiding there.

But with a cautious mindset, Chen Feng gestured, ready to summon the inferior demon if anything happened.

"Who's there?!"

Chen Feng approached the cash register, his voice cold.

"Have those monsters not followed you? I'm so scared..." A weak voice came from under the counter, and then a young girl emerged.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, even though she looked tired and dusty, her delicate facial features were still visible. Despite the signs of distress, there was a touch of vulnerability that evoked pity.

At her age, she should have been leisurely studying at school, but now she looked disheveled, covered in dirt, and even had a large red patch on her neck, as if she had been scratched.

The red patch was large, spreading across half of the girl's neck, but Chen Feng glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.

"Brother, have those monsters not followed you?" the girl said timidly, but Chen Feng did not reply, just looking at her with a cold expression.

The girl did not pay much attention to Chen Feng's expression. She looked outside, seeing the clutter at the door and the empty convenience store, and then burst into tears.

"They're all dead... all dead..."

"So many monsters, so many unfamiliar monsters..."

"We had just finished school, and those monsters attacked us. Zhang Linlin was taken into the air and died, and then they all died..."

The girl was clearly terrified, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling. Although her words were somewhat incoherent, Chen Feng still understood the general idea.

It was nothing more than a group of students who had been attacked, and after a massacre, only the girl in front of him had survived.

A lucky survivor.

Chen Feng gave the girl a cold glance. It was a miracle for such a fragile body to escape from the chaotic streets to this place.

The girl glanced at Chen Feng and said softly, "Brother, my phone just broke. Can you call my dad for me? I'm so scared..."

"Dad knows and will definitely come to save us!"

The girl raised her small hand, clutching a cracked phone inside, with scratches and a mixture of blood and dirt on her palm, making it difficult to look at.

Chen Feng shook his head. The communication facilities had been swept away by the apocalypse storm, and the so-called phone had long become a useless brick. Calling for help? It was simply wishful thinking.

But even if communication had not been cut off, could one really turn the tide with such weak strength? Monsters were rampant, and even if a bullet could end a zombie's life, the next second, one could be overwhelmed and devoured by other monsters.

It could be said that from now on, the only thing everyone could rely on was themselves.

"Don't speak, don't cry, and don't make any unnecessary movements. Most importantly, don't bother me again."

Chen Feng chose to ignore the girl, not even paying attention to the phone, which was her last hope. He turned and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

A hint of panic appeared on the girl's face. No one had ever been so strict with her before.

Bitter, and painful.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before.

"Who do you think you are!"

The girl wrinkled her small nose and muttered in a huff.

Chen Feng paid no attention to the girl's feelings. He leaned against the shelf to rest, as he needed to regain enough strength when night fell.

Drowsiness set in.

"Bang..."

After some time, a noise came, and Chen Feng immediately opened his eyes, his body reacting instantly, looking towards the direction of the sound.

His long experience in perilous situations had made his body more sensitive than his consciousness.

"Bang..."

The door was pushed again.

Through the cracks.

Several dark figures suddenly appeared, flying in the air and emitting eerie cries, with a strong smell of blood.

"Night Stalker Bats?"

Chen Feng's eyes sharpened as he spoke the name of the creatures.
