Enshrouded in Death
Huang Suyue wasn't complacent due to successfully killing three Silver Phantoms. On the contrary, she was very careful.
Of the three originally planned deployment locations, only two had been completed now. Rather than risking a sudden attack by Silver Phantoms to go to great lengths to deploy the last one, it was better to play it safe as much as possible and ensure the safety of herself and her companions.
Regarding Huang Suyue's decision, these bodyguards had no objections at all. Although they had stepped onto the Divine Path and possessed transcendent power, they were truly convinced by Huang Suyue... So even though the Huang Consortium was no more, even though Huang Suyue had exhausted all her wealth, they were still willing to follow Huang Suyue.
Perhaps, this was the power brought by personal charisma.
"Let's go."
Huang Suyue led everyone straight towards the direction of the Shelter.
The bodyguard known as "Little Five" stood on the ruins of the explosion, slowly squatting down, carefully sizing up this pile of shattered corpses.
"Strange... No organs, no flesh and blood, and no brain either... What are these guys relying on to make decisions, and what are they relying on to act?"
But this was no longer important. His task was just to act as bait, utilizing the Miss's Explosive Traps as much as possible to reduce the number of Silver Phantoms. As for where exactly these monsters came from, there was no need to delve into it.
Little Five stood up and was just about to walk back to the street. In the next moment, he seemed to sense something and looked back blankly...
Squish——!!
Two sharp silver blades suddenly protruded from his chest!
Those were two slender silver longswords piercing through his chest from behind. As Little Five's pupils suddenly contracted, in his gradually blurring vision, two more tall Silver Phantoms had quietly arrived behind him at some point!
...
"Mom, this Bread smells so good!"
Inside the Shelter, numerous figures were lining up to receive the distributed Bread. The earliest batch of drivers, Doctors, and butlers from the Huang Consortium's fleet to get off the cars had already arrived at the Shelter, and more than half of the food had been distributed.
At this time, a child who had trekked all the way from Penglai Town, was holding a piece of Bread with both hands, taking big bites, as if he was starving.
"Be good, let's eat slowly, no one is fighting with us." The Mother stroked the child's head, looking at the supplies still piled up like a mountain in the distance, her eyes full of emotion. "The people distributing the Bread said these things are enough for us to eat for a long time."
"Before coming, we searched all the way and couldn't find a place to buy food, not even the local residents... I didn't expect they would actually distribute it for free here? The Main City is the Main City after all, the government's arrangements are indeed very meticulous." Another refugee couldn't help but praise after finishing the Bread.
"This doesn't seem to be distributed by the Main City government, right?"
"If not the government, who else could distribute relief food at this time? And so much of it?"
"I don't know... That group of people didn't say who they were, just kept distributing Bread. Before they came, many people had already fainted from hypoglycemia and hunger, and it was that Doctor who took care of them in the end."
"Wait until they are done being busy, let's go ask. No matter who they are, may good people be safe their whole lives..."
"..."
Just as the refugees in the Shelter were jumping for joy due to the Bread falling from the sky, a roaring explosion suddenly came from above. Rustling dust drifted down from the ceiling, and everyone instantly froze in place.
These refugees had come to seek refuge in the first place and naturally knew the situation of the Red Dust Main City. Hearing the explosion from above, everyone's hearts instantly leaped to their throats. The Shelter that was originally filled with whispers instantly fell into deathly silence.
"Mom... what happened?" The child asked softly.
The Mother didn't answer, but nervously looked at the ceiling overhead, her face extremely pale.
With no one answering, the doubt in the child's eyes became increasingly dense. He cast his gaze towards the corner of the Shelter. There was a small street drain there, transmitting the faint light from the outside world... After hesitating for a moment, he walked softly over there.
Relying on his short stature, he climbed up the pipe steps in the corner. A pair of curious eyes looked outside through the drain.
This drain was only a palm high and no one could pass through, but through here, he could see a narrow corner of the street...
That was a drizzling road, strands of rainwater flowing down along the drain. At this time, on the other side of the road, a young girl and three bodyguards were walking straight towards the Shelter.
In the next moment, they seemed to see something, their figures abruptly stopping in place!
...
On the street.
Four Silver Phantoms were walking towards here.
The moment Huang Suyue saw them, her pupils suddenly contracted. She subconsciously took half a step back, turning her head to prepare to call Little Five over, but right after turning half her body, her whole person was as if struck by lightning!
On the other side of the street, two tall Silver Phantoms were dragging Little Five's blood-drenched corpse, equally approaching here.
"How could this be..." The faces of the three bodyguards were deathly pale,
"They, how could they have come so quickly??"
From detonating the Hardware Store and killing three Silver Phantoms until now, a total of no more than two minutes had passed... And in these two minutes, six Silver Phantoms had actually gathered all at once, and even silently counter-killed Little Five?!
Huang Suyue was stunned. She also didn't expect this kind of unforeseen event... She felt her reaction was already very fast. Even if there happened to be other Silver Phantoms active nearby and they rushed over after hearing the explosion, it shouldn't be so many coming in one breath.
For some reason, the scene of the last Silver Phantom trembling with ripples all over before its death just now suddenly flashed back into Huang Suyue's mind...
She seemed to understand something, gritting her teeth and saying:
"Damn it... that monster just now was sending a distress signal before it died!"
Four in front, two behind. Under the deliberate blockade of these Silver Phantoms, Huang Suyue and the others had nowhere to run. Coupled with the fact that the only Third Tier pillar among them was already dead, a sense of crisis of death surged into everyone's hearts.
The three bodyguards looked at each other and all saw the firmness in each other's eyes. They said solemnly:
"Miss, protect yourself first... No matter what, we will try our best to carve a bloody path for you!"
Huang Suyue was startled. Just as she was about to say something, the figures of the three bodyguards had already shot out!
Two rushed towards the four Silver Phantoms on the left, and the other one rushed towards the two Silver Phantoms on the right that sneak-attacked and killed Little Five. At the same time, the six Silver Phantoms also sprinted over, and a chaotic street battle erupted with a boom!
On the street, Huang Suyue's hair was blown about by the shockwaves of the battle. As the only Ordinary Person here without any Divine Path protection, she was so fragile that any Silver Phantom rushing over could easily kill her. And right now, Huang Suyue's first reaction was to quickly find a place to hide!
Huang Suyue's gaze instantly locked onto the extremely concealed underground steps not far away. That was the entrance to the underground Shelter.
Just as she took a step and was preparing to hide in the Shelter first, the head of a Silver Phantom in the melee suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees. On its hollow face, a wisp of gaze had already locked onto Huang Suyue!
The foot Huang Suyue had stepped out suddenly froze in midair.
