Chapter 99

Mofan glanced at He Yu, who was already sobbing, and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Ke is also a water mage, and she has only mastered the 2nd level Water Defense, just like everyone else. However, in the face of real demons, He Yu is no different from an ordinary girl; she can't complete any skill at all. If everyone in the team is like this, more people will die when they encounter demons again.

Now, Mofan doesn't know how many people will die; he can only push forward with a stiff upper lip.

"Since Teacher Xue appointed me as the leader, I hope everyone can remember what I'm about to say. Even if we can't reach the safety barrier smoothly, at least we can avoid some unnecessary deaths," Mofan said, looking at the somewhat dispirited vanguard team.

This vanguard team ultimately underestimated the demons. Training is just training; the mad wolves didn't have any intention to kill the students before they went berserk. But real demons are not like that; they will do everything to kill people. Even if they know they are going to die, they will use their last strength to drag someone down with them. Demons are born in an environment of mutual slaughter; they know too well how to deliver a fatal blow to their enemies.

"The demons we face mainly come in two types: Giant-Eyed Rat and One-Eyed Wolf. The Giant-Eyed Rat is relatively easy to deal with, but the One-Eyed Wolf is much more ferocious and cunning. If we encounter more than three One-Eyed Wolves, don't hesitate; run for your lives. If you're lucky, only three will die. If you don't run, everyone will die," Mofan said firmly.

In fact, the appearance of just two One-Eyed Wolves is enough to deal a fatal blow to this vanguard team. Mofan hopes that these students can understand that the demons are a thousand times more terrifying than what the teachers described in class!

This is no longer a practice or training; it's a life-and-death struggle! Win, and you live; lose, and everyone dies!

Xu Zhaoting, Wang Sanpeng, Zhou Min, Mu Bai, Zhao Kun, Zhang Xiahou, He Yu, Zhang Shuhua, Xue Muxing, and others all looked at Mofan. This time, Mofan's repeated warnings have indeed helped avoid heavy casualties in the first encounter. While they listened carefully, they were also secretly amazed: why is Mofan, a fellow senior, so much more perceptive than everyone else?

Mofan told everyone about some of the most common mistakes, such as Wang Sanpeng's extremely foolish behavior: never approach any demon that appears to be killed, as it will use its last strength to take you down with it!

"Xiahou, you're responsible for scouting the path ahead. Be careful with everything," Mofan instructed Zhang Xiahou.

Zhang Xiahou nodded heavily; now he follows everything Mofan says!

"Mu Bai, control your Ice Vine well. Remember, the Ice Vine is for protecting everyone; don't expect it to freeze demons that move extremely fast," Mofan said to Mu Bai.

Mu Bai frowned, wanting to speak but swallowing his words. He has a significant grudge against Mofan, but compared to everyone's and his own life, this grudge is really insignificant. He nodded, indicating that he understood how to use the Ice Vine.

After quickly briefing everyone, Mofan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In fact, even he doesn't know if they can safely pass this 3-kilometer death route. He only hopes that everyone's luck will be a bit better and that they won't encounter three One-Eyed Wolves at once.

...

The team continued forward. On this 1-kilometer main street, they didn't encounter any demons, but they did find some elderly people who hadn't managed to evacuate to the safety barrier in time.

The vanguard team couldn't escort any civilians, so Xue Muxing could only tell these elderly people to follow the main force when it arrives, or they would be in grave danger.

Almost all the roads were blocked, and occasionally, they saw people still trying to drive to the safety barrier, only to be stuck on the road and forced to abandon their cars and walk.

Seeing the people on the road, Xue Muxing and Zhou Min would tell them to find a place to hide and wait for the main force to arrive before following.

After crossing the main street, they immediately arrived at Mingyuan Residential Area.

Mingyuan Residential Area is a relatively high-end elevator apartment complex in Bocheng, decorated like a small park in the city. It covers a large area, and it takes almost a kilometer to completely cross the four zones A, B, C, and D.

No one knows how many people are still in these tall apartment buildings; they think they are safe in such high buildings, so they are safe...

The fence around Mingyuan Residential Area is almost useless; Mofan has already seen several places where it has been destroyed, proving that demons have definitely passed through this park-like complex.

Entering through the side gate, the first thing they saw was a pool of water, with a security guard's body floating on it, and the water had turned red.

The heavy rain had paused, so the bloodstains in the city couldn't be washed away. Seeing the bloodstains everywhere, the vanguard team couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

"Did you hear that? Something is calling from that floor," Zhou Min whispered to Mofan.

Mofan looked at one of the buildings and saw a non-human shadow moving past a window through the glass.

"Let's hurry up and move forward," Mofan said, ignoring it.

Zhou Min nodded, not daring to speak again.

Just a few steps forward, Zhang Xiahou, who was scouting ahead, rushed back.

"There are more than five Giant-Eyed Rats there; we need to go around," Zhang Xiahou said.

"Okay, let's take another route," Mofan nodded, patting Zhang Xiahou's shoulder to show that he did a good job.

Zhang Xiahou could only manage a weak smile; in this environment, if he doesn't force himself to grow, he will become a burden to the team. Zhang Xiahou is also very scared, but seeing Mofan remain so calm, he felt a bit braver.

After avoiding the five Giant-Eyed Rats, the group walked halfway through the residential area, and the whole process was relatively smooth.

"There's a Giant-Eyed Rat drinking water at the swimming pool."

"Go around."

"Why? We can kill it and go straight through," Zhang Shuhua said, confused.

"Don't engage in meaningless battles; magic energy is more precious than water in the desert."

Ultimately, the nine of them safely passed through Mingyuan Residential Area. Considering that the main force was following behind, Mofan chose some wider and more accessible roads to avoid the danger of being crowded together and attacked by a group of demons.
