"Little brother, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"Who dares bully our little treasure? Do they want to die?"

"Little treasure, be good, don't cry don't cry!"

"Good grandson, tell grandpa who bullied you, grandpa will get revenge for you!"

"Darling precious good grandson, don't cry, grandma will make fried human hearts for you, using those who bullied you!"

For a moment, various voices came flooding in.

There were clear young boy and girl voices, mature middle-aged male and female voices, and also aged elderly voices.

For a moment...

It seemed like the entire family was gathered here.

Chen Ye hid within the smoke breath mist, hearing this with creeping horror.

What the hell...

The whole family is here?

At this moment, the surrounding hundred-meter radius was completely covered by the smoke breath mist.

"Damn it, is it you people, you bullied our little treasure!"

"Damn it..."

The other seven voices said the same thing, making people's ears go numb.

"Damn it, since that's the case, leave your hearts behind to make fried human hearts for our little treasure!"

"Damn it, since that's the case..."

Another seven voices.

"Go to hell!"

Arrogant like Mad Lion, he roared to interrupt the octopus anomaly's rambling, the flesh cannon appearing again.

The cannon barrel swelled up like a pufferfish.

"Boom!"

A transparent air cannon carrying white vapor blasted toward the octopus anomaly.

The smoke-composed sky whale dissipated into nothingness, while on the other side, an even larger sky whale was taking shape.

"Swift!"

The pink-haired girl's flying sword was fast as lightning, directly cutting off two tentacles.

Within the smoke breath mist, a figure was dodging and weaving between the tentacles, rapidly approaching the human faces.

Various segments of incantations in different tones sounded amidst the heavy snow.

Anomalous waveform power spread out with the octopus anomaly as the center.

A mystical energy vibrated through space.

Chen Ye's expression changed, feeling as if something was being pulled out from within his body.

This is...

"Hehehehe... This is the Life Drain Field, making you bully me, making you bully me!"

"Big brothers and sisters, mom and dad, grandpa and grandma, I want them dead, want them dead..."

The young boy's sharp, venomous voice rang out.

"Mr. Chen... save... save me..."

A male survivor struggled to call out to Chen Ye for help.

This man originally had a very sturdy build, but at this moment, he was visibly withering away, as if he had instantly lost over ten pounds.

Chen Ye couldn't possibly care about him now.

He quickly activated the method from the Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique.

The essence of breathing techniques is adjusting frequency to achieve the effect of absorbing blood moon energy.

It's also about absorbing energy.

Chen Ye didn't know if it would work, but he had no better method at the moment.

Feeling the sensation of being drained from his body disappear.

Chen Ye then looked at the others.

Iron Lion showed basically no reaction, just his face turned slightly paler, his anger seemed to increase, and his speed appeared to slow down considerably.

But this guy was still adjusting his cannon aiming to fire another shot.

Ding Dong seemed somewhat affected, sitting cross-legged in the snow meditating.

The pink-haired girl also looked very pale, mumbling something under her breath.

Seeing that everyone was affected, Chen Ye's face darkened - if this continued, everyone would die.

"Woooo..."

The long, drawn-out call of a whale sounded, as a smoke-composed whale nearly forty to fifty meters in size crashed over with immense force.

Chen Ye had never seen how a sky whale attacks.

So he simply had the sky whale ram it.

The massive whale directly sent the octopus anomaly tumbling several times through the air, sliding far through the air and collapsing a residential building over ten stories tall.

This interrupted the octopus anomaly's spellcasting.

Only then could everyone catch their breath slightly.

Their eyes fixed intently on the slowly collapsing residential building amidst the heavy snowfall, not daring to blink.

Is it dead?

Is it really dead?

"Ah~~~"

Piercing screams and miserable wails rose from the ruins of the collapsed residential building.

Countless mournful, shrill, resentful, pleading voices sounded in their ears.

Making people dizzy and confused.

This is... mental attack?

"Big brother, how could you be so cruel, hurting me like this? You've made it hurt so much."

Feelings of pity rose in his heart, then rapidly amplified.

This feeling of pity quickly occupied his entire chest.

But Chen Ye quickly realized.

Pity?

To survive, I, Chen Ye, discarded such emotions long ago.

That kid who stole my dinner back then, his grave must be overgrown with weeds by now.

"Young man, this old man is advanced in years, how could you do this? Didn't your teacher teach you to respect the elderly and cherish the young?"

Feelings of guilt had just begun to rise when Chen Ye tossed them to the winds.

Guilt your ass, your pensions are much higher than mine, why should I feel guilty?

"Young man..."

Every emotion that arose was ruthlessly crushed by Chen Ye without hesitation.

The stone-hearted Chen Ye was basically impervious when facing attempts to make him feel guilt, regret, pity, and other emotions.

To survive, Chen Ye could do anything.

Everything for survival.

If Chen Ye could manage this, others probably couldn't.

The pink-haired girl's face flushed red, seemingly struggling with hesitation.

Iron Lion's two heads were having a serious disagreement.

"Mad Lion, how could you do this? They're so pitiful..."

"Shut the hell up, you!"

Mad Lion, facing Iron Lion's lecturing, was practically furious to the point of helplessness.

Ding Dong was also hesitating with lowered head, sometimes taking two steps forward, sometimes retreating two steps.

Everyone had survived the apocalypse, so naturally they couldn't be so easily swayed by useless emotions.

But what made this ability formidable was its emotional amplification.

As long as there was the slightest negative emotion, it could instantly amplify to dominate your entire emotional state.

From the ruins of the collapsed residential building, a massive octopus anomaly rose.

The previous attack hadn't been fatal, only creating some minor wounds on the octopus anomaly's body.

But these minor wounds had already completely healed within a few breaths, as if never injured at all.

Several pairs of eyes looked at Chen Ye with venomous hatred.

A drop of cold sweat appeared at Chen Ye's temple.

What the hell... how to fight this?

Besides me and Mad Lion, these idiots are still tangled up in these useless emotions.

A thought emerged in Chen Ye's mind.

Escape!

Can't win this!

Not escaping means certain death!

Fighting when you can't win is just idiocy.

When Old Devil Han encountered enemies he couldn't defeat, he also escaped.

This isn't shameful!

But, how to escape?

Can we even escape?

"Blood tears of compassion, bones paving the divine path! Our Lord above, witness the end!"

Amidst the heavy snow, a group of people wearing black cloaks approached from afar.

These people's faces were unclear, each with hands pressed together at their foreheads, thumbs touching their brows, mumbling under their breath.

Their voices reached everyone's ears through the wind and snow.

These are... people???

There are still living people in Rong City?

This... how is it possible... that there would be living people?

What was even more anomalous was that among these people, two were carrying a sedan chair.

A sedan chair, the kind commonly seen in tourist areas - two people front and back carrying two bamboo poles with a chair suspended between them.

Tourists who couldn't climb up or down the mountain themselves would choose this kind of sedan chair.

And at this moment.

Amidst the wind and snow, sitting in the middle of the sedan chair was an extremely seductive woman.

This woman had fiery red long hair, fiery red lips, and a fiery red long dress.

Everything was fiery red.

Only this woman's eyes were closed.

This gave people an extreme sense of temptation.

Looking at this woman would make people feel like a kitten scratching at their heart.

Producing a thought of "I must have this woman, or I'll be unsatisfied for life."

But this woman was ridiculously tall - even just sitting in the sedan chair, though being carried, her long legs almost reached the ground.

Preliminary estimate, if this woman stood up she would likely exceed three meters.

A hooded figure beside her was holding up a massive blood-red scythe, so red it looked like it had just been drenched in fresh blood.

An even stronger feeling of creeping horror surged through Chen Ye's heart.

"This... what the hell... is another anomaly."
