Panic filled the entire station.
Fang Li, who was running, instinctively stopped in his tracks. He looked at the shattered city gate and the Fusoujou Train that had crashed into houses and his fists involuntarily clenched.
“It has begun.”
One by one, terrified civilians hurriedly fled past Fang Li.
The street was filled with a sense of despair and fear.
In such a situation, only Fang Li stood still on the spot, unmoving, seemingly out of place with his surroundings.
“Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding!”
The sound of the alarm bells continued to ring throughout the base.
“AaahAaah——!”
Shouts that could not be distinguished as human or monster echoed.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sound of rapid gunfire filled the air.
Clearly, the samurai of Aragane Station had already engaged in battle with the Kabane.
However, the situation was far from favorable.
“I wonder how Ayame-San is doing right now.”
According to the original plot, at this time, the Consul General of the Yomokawa family should have received the news and gone to confirm the location of the escape Hayajiro, only to be sniped by the Kabane and ultimately meet his demise.
Meanwhile, Yomokawa Ayame, while waiting for her father’s message, was urged by the cowardly samurai to take action and head towards the location of the escape Hayajiro Train for evacuation.
Of course, before that, Yomokawa Ayame would gather the refuge-seeking residents of Aragane Station.
If everything went smoothly, Yomokawa Ayame would be able to reach the location of the escape Hayajiro.
“It’s better to go there first.”
After making up his mind, Fang Li planned to continue moving.
Just at that moment…
“YaaahAaah——!”
Accompanied by a piercing and horrifying scream, the panicked civilians fleeing on the street involuntarily turned their heads and looked towards the direction of the street leading to the city gate.
Shortly afterward, a series of screams filled with extreme fear resounded one after another.
Fang Li suddenly halted his movements, looking ahead.
There, a corpse-like dark figure darted out, grabbing the shoulder of a gun-wielding samurai and viciously biting into his neck with its mouth wide open.
The samurai didn’t even have time to scream before several other dark figures leaped out and pounced on his body, biting one after another.
In an instant, blood splattered the area and like prey being brought down by a ferocious beast, the samurai was overwhelmed by the Kabane one by one, becoming their food as his blood was gradually drained from his body.
Witnessing this scene, cries of despair and fear constantly echoed from the panicked fleeing civilians.
Some even forgot to run and they could only stare ahead with a blank expression on their faces, it was as if they had lost their souls.
In such a situation, one Kabane raised its ferocious head. Its eyeless eyes glowed with a savage light. It tensed its limbs and suddenly lunged forward like a Cheetha, pouncing on the nearest woman.
The woman couldn’t react at all and she could only stare blankly at the approaching Kabane, trembling all over and unable to move.
And in that instant, only one person took action.
“Chī————!”
Amidst the audible sound of breaking space, a flash of cold light swept by and plunged into the glowing heart of the Kabane that had rushed towards the young woman.
“Peng————!”
The sound, like glass being shattered, pierced the ears of everyone present.
“Ah…” The ferocious face of the Kabane suddenly became vacant, then slowly slid down and fell to the ground.
One hit kill!
This scene caused the eyes of the onlooking crowd to widen in astonishment.
Especially the young woman, who stared at Fang Li, who had suddenly appeared before her the previous second, unable to react for a while.
“Why are you still standing there? What are you doing?” Holding a dagger, Fang Li turned his back to the crowd and shouted loudly, “Hurry up and take shelter!”
Only then did the ordinary people snap out of their daze, screaming in shock as they hurriedly fled again.
Including the young woman who had been saved by Fang Li.
Fang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Main Quest clearly stated that the more surviving civilians there were on the Hayajiro Train after escaping Aragane Station, the greater the reward Fang Li would receive.
For the sake of the reward alone, Fang Li felt compelled to lend a hand.
However, as a result, all the attention of the Kabane on the street was now focused on Fang Li.
“AaahAaah————!”
Instantly, the Kabane let out a terrifying roar and charged toward Fang Li.
At this moment, the ordinary people had just managed to escape a short distance.
If Fang Li were to run away with them, it wouldn’t be long before the Kabane caught up to them.
Each Kabane possessed physical abilities that surpassed ordinary people.
Even with Fang Li’s Agility attribute of 6, it didn’t necessarily mean he was faster than those Kabane.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Kabane from catching up, Fang Li had to stay here and buy time.
Fortunately, only three of the Kabane were charging towards Fang Li, while the rest continued to feast on the freshly captured prey by the roadside.
“Only three?”
Fang Li’s expression became unusually calm.
He tightly gripped the dagger in his hand.
His pair of eyes turned into ice-blue Mystic Eyes.
Looking at the three Kabane charging at him, Fang Li advanced instead of retreating, stepping on the ground and suddenly leaping forward.
“AaahAaah————!”
The three Kabane charging toward him seemed to have been infuriated by Fang Li’s audacious attitude of advancing instead of retreating. They let out more terrifying roars one after another, accelerating their speed. With their mouths full of fangs wide open, they howled and pounced toward Fang Li.
However, at this moment, Fang Li abruptly halted his figure and, following a standard vertical path, suddenly turned aside.
Due to their excessive momentum, the three Kabane were unable to stop their figures when their prey suddenly changed direction. They directly rushed past Fang Li along their original path.
“So, as I said, you Kabane may have superior physical abilities, but your attack patterns, which only consisted of knowing how to charge straight ahead, are too predictable. You’re not even as cunning as wild beasts.”
This was also one of the reasons why Fang Li could easily kill Kabane with his low attribute values.
These monsters…
“Are just too stupid!”
Turning to the side, Fang Li made another turn and swiftly retreated.
At this moment, the three Kabane just brushed past Fang Li’s side, exposing their completely unguarded backs to Fang Li’s eyes.
