The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

The resounding booms echoed through the empty underground parking lot.

Most of the area was shrouded in darkness, with only a few corners illuminated by the firelight from the campfire and brazier.

On the dusty ground, men, women, young and old, all prostrated themselves, chanting in unison with utmost devotion:

May God redeem us!

What happened? What's going on?

What are these people doing?

Are they praying?

To whom?

Chen Ge and his group looked visibly bewildered and confused; clearly, the uniform behavior of the people around them was extremely strange.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Chen Ge and his group asked a few people who were lying prostrate on the ground nearby.

The young men who were repairing the car with Chen Ge and his group saw them standing there looking bewildered and tugged at their trouser legs, speaking earnestly:

"Quickly, kneel down! The devil has come! Pray to the messenger of God! The messenger of God will suppress the devil and redeem us!"

What the heck? What are they talking about?

The inexplicable words of the group left Chen Ge and his companions completely bewildered.

At this moment, Ye Xing was tense all over, like a wild beast, and had already crouched down, his eyes fixed on the iron gate in the distance that kept making a rattling sound.

As Lan Ling observed the actions of those around her, she suddenly felt a strange sense of unease. Just as she was beginning to ponder this, the woman who had helped her earlier looked up and, seemingly out of kindness, offered her some advice:

"Girl, quickly lie down and join us in pleading with the divine messenger, quick!"

"Sister, quick, kneel down!"

The children who had been playing nearby waved to her, signaling her to kneel down and pray like them.

"What are you guys doing?"

A seven or eight-year-old child looked up at her innocently and said, "We are praying to the messenger of the gods!"

"Pray? Pray for what?"

An elderly man with graying hair comforted him, saying, "Of course he is a messenger of God. He was sent by God to redeem us from the end times."

What exactly are they talking about?

Everyone felt a sense of confusion in their minds. The distant, vibrating impacts grew louder and louder, and the heavy iron gate began to sway precariously.

However, the people around them seemed to be possessed; not one of them fled, and not one of them showed any fear.

They seemed to be caught in some kind of obsessive obsession, clinging to some strange belief, kneeling there without any intention of escaping.

Just then, Ye Xing suddenly let out a low roar.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, the heavy iron gate in the distance suddenly collapsed. The huge sound was like a firecracker exploding, startling everyone.

Everyone instinctively drew their guns and became alert.

A series of breathy, almost animalistic sounds poured out from the dark abyss behind the iron gate.

Chen Ge and the others involuntarily tensed up, while Ye Xing, whose head had been shaved, leaped in front of them, his eyes fixed on the darkness.

bang, bang...

Heavy footsteps slowly emerged from the darkness, and in the dim light, a huge figure slowly moved its limbs as it walked out of the darkness.

The thing was on all fours, in human form, but even when it was crawling on the ground, it was still two meters tall.

It was entirely black, as if coated with a layer of glossy black lacquer, and its skin looked like some kind of rubbery texture, exceptionally tough.

Its surface is not completely smooth, but rather has raised, muscle-like textures and a strange exoskeleton.

It has a deformed human head, a hideous, huge mouth with dense, sharp teeth, bulging, beast-like eyes, a sunken nose, and a bald head.

Those huge front claws immediately reminded Chen Ge and the others of the huge scratch marks they had seen on the container earlier.

This is no ordinary mutant. It retains a human form and is somewhat similar to those Night Stalkers, but it is clearly more powerful and terrifying than those Night Stalkers and other mutants.

A premonition of danger from her instincts made Lan Ling tense up instantly.

Not only her, but even veterans like Chen Ge were silently breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ah Zhao couldn't help but grit his teeth and ask, "What is this thing? This is the first time I've ever seen a mutant like this!"

Because so far, almost all the mutants they have seen have only the instincts to divide, eat, and reproduce.

They are all twisted, evil, and insane, utterly devoid of reason and mind.

Once they sense prey, they will pounce on it recklessly.

But this thing slowly emerged from the darkness step by step. It not only possessed the five senses, but it was also scrutinizing all the creatures in the space with its terrifying eyes.

It was unlike any mutant they had ever seen before; this thing had a certain level of intelligence!

"Be careful, this thing might be difficult to deal with!"

Zhou Hu gritted his teeth and gave a reminder to everyone.

Just then, Zhu Yue and the others who had come with Zhu Hongchang looked up at Chen Ge and his group.

That face, though tinged with fear, remained calm and even possessed a strange fanaticism, sending chills down Chen Ge's and his group's spines.

"Don't be afraid, this demon can't cause any trouble. With the divine messenger here, the divine messenger will suppress it!"

"Kneel down quickly and pray to the messenger of the gods with us. Don't be afraid!"

Han Yu shuddered with a chill, silently uttering a few words, "They're insane, they've gone mad, haven't they?"

Suddenly, a strange, beast-like roar rang out, followed by a soft splatter, and a thick stench of blood instantly filled the air.

Everyone turned to look, and saw that the monster was tearing off half of its body, with the other half under its huge claws.

Blood was splattered all over the ground, and the person who had fallen was a guard who was crawling on the ground by the iron gate.

However, the guard on the other side of the iron gate, instead of fleeing, shouted loudly:

"Divine messenger, I beg for your salvation! I beg for your salvation!"

puff!

The enormous claws instantly crushed the creature into a bloody mess. Chen Ge cursed, "Damn it!"

But then a series of shouts rang out beside them.

"Please, God, grant me salvation! Please, God, grant me salvation!"

Lan Ling was somewhat exasperated. "Invite me? What do you mean, 'invite me'? Run! Are you all crazy?"

Not a single one of the people kneeling on the ground fled. The bloodstains from the deaths of the two men brought fear, but this fear did not lead them to flee. Instead, they prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting and praying even louder.

"Damn it, a bunch of lunatics!"

Zhou Hu cursed under his breath, and then heavy footsteps suddenly came, followed by the sound of the car being hit and overturning.

Tian Haifeng's voice suddenly rang out: "It's coming! Run, run!"

At this moment, Ye Xing, like a nimble cheetah, leaped onto the roof of a car, then jumped onto a nearby pillar.

It swung the black tentacle that stretched out from its right hand and headed straight for the strange mutant.

"Holy crap, what's this kid planning to do?"

Upon seeing Ye Xing's movement, Chen Ge stared in shock and shouted:

"Ye Xing, come back! Damn it, fire! Cover her!"
