From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 10 The Future of the Human World

The Horned Demon Warlord discovered that the iron cage containing food was empty. He ran to the cage, swung his strong forearm, and punched the cage away with a "bang".

Then he turned around and pounced on the nearest psychic, slapping him with his claws.

Ah!
Bang!

The psychic was slapped to pieces, his screams stopped abruptly, and his flesh and blood covered the ground and walls around him.

Upon seeing this, the other people with special abilities were so frightened that they fled in all directions without a clue of where to go.

Hu Biao saw that all the allies had fled, and knew that it was impossible to gather more people now. He ran while shouting: "First escape from the building, go north after leaving the building, and we will find a place to meet up!"

The bookish young man was the last one to get out of the iron cage. When he escaped, he calmly took the steel bars away with him.

Lu Heng rushed directly towards Su Muyu, picked her up and ran, asking as he ran: "What did you find?"

"I took a backpack and a cable. There was originally a dagger, but it was snatched away by someone. I listened to you and didn't argue with that person." Su Muyu held the backpack in front of Lu Heng and showed the cable inside.

"Very good, let's escape first."

Since everyone was on the 7th floor, it was impossible to escape from the building by jumping down, so most of the psychics fled towards the stairs.

The Horned Demon General used all four claws to pounce towards the stairs, and with one claw, he smashed the three people walking up the stairs into a pulp.

Bang!
Sharp screams echoed in the building.

Every scream represented a person being killed by the Horned Demon Warlord.

Lu Heng did not run towards the stairs, but pulled Su Muyu towards the edge of the floor.

Su Muyu had seen death since the abandoned factory incident, but when he heard such a tragic scream, his body still couldn't stop shaking.

Lu Heng pulled her to the edge of the floor and looked down.

The floor we are on is the 7th floor, more than 20 meters above the ground.

Lu Heng took out a rope from his backpack, held one end and swung it downstairs.

The cable is only 10 meters long and its texture is not suitable for tying knots, so it can only go down to the 4th floor.

Lu Heng acted decisively, tied the cable to the pillar, then wrapped the cloth around his palm three times and said to Su Muyu, "Hold me tight."

Su Muyu nodded vigorously, then put her arms around Lu Heng's waist.

Lu Heng released his shadow clone, then grabbed the cable and slid down.

He landed on the fourth floor and leaped into the building.

Next, control the shadow clone on the 7th floor and prepare to untie the cable.

at this time.

The bookish young man ran up and shouted, "Wait a minute, let me slide down. Give me two seconds. I promise not to waste any time."

As he spoke, he had already wrapped his palms with cloth strips.

There is a cloth strip wrapped around the palm of the hand so that when you slide down, the hand holding the cable will not be torn into pieces.

Seeing that he was still calm in doing things, Lu Heng asked the shadow clone to pause for a moment.

The bookish young man moved quickly, grabbed the cable and slid down.

When he reached the fourth floor, he immediately jumped into the air.

Lu Heng immediately controlled the shadow clone to untie the cable and throw it down. The end on the fourth floor was also tied to the pillar on the fourth floor.

The cable is thrown down and directly reaches the ground.

Lu Heng brought Su Muyu down quickly, and as soon as they landed, they heard the deafening roar of the Horned Demon Commander coming from the building behind them.

The Horned Demon Overlord seemed to have discovered that some food had escaped from the building and was preparing to chase after it.

Lu Heng immediately controlled the shadow clone and held back the Horned Demon General, but it only delayed for a few seconds before the clone was blown up.

After landing, Lu Heng looked around, chose a direction, and quickly left with Su Muyu.

After the bookish young man slid down, he quickly caught up and thanked them, "Thank you, my name is Chen Zihang. As a thank you, I will give you a weapon for self-defense."

As he spoke, he threw the iron sword in his hand to Lu Heng, while he kept the fire axe in his hand.

"Metal-related ability?" Lu Heng thought of the way he had picked up steel bars through the air before, and had already guessed his ability.

"A little bit of magnetism." Chen Zihang explained casually.

"Thank you." Lu Heng raised the iron sword in his hand and shook it, and the properties of the iron sword were displayed.

[Iron Sword] [Item Level: E]

[Specifications: Length 130 cm, blade width 3.5 cm, weight 1.6 kg]

[Attribute: Attack Power 10]

[Evaluation: A weapon made of fine iron, causing blade damage when attacking. It is of relatively ordinary quality and can be bought anywhere.]

After obtaining the weapon, Lu Heng waved goodbye to him, then he and Su Muyu quickened their pace and ran into the fog.

The roar of the Horned Demon Warlord was still echoing in the building behind him.

……

The two of them ran wildly together until they could no longer hear the roar of the Horned Demon Warlord behind them, then they slowed down and took a breath.

Su Muyu held her chest and gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently. Running such a long distance in one breath was beyond her capacity.

Lu Heng saw her expression and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Su Muyu nodded and pulled the stab-proof vest tighter: "It's okay, I don't usually exercise that much, I'll be fine after a while."

At this moment.

A string of data prompts suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

[Spiritual pollution from an unknown existence, Spiritual -1]

[When the spirit drops to 0, you will fall into madness. 】

Seeing this prompt, Lu Heng exhaled: "Sure enough."

数据面板上的五维属性变成了：力量11、敏捷14、体质11、精神（12/13）、感知12。

The original value of the spiritual attribute was still 13 points, but due to spiritual pollution from an unknown existence, it dropped to 12 points.

Su Muyu also saw the prompt and asked, "My spiritual attribute has decreased."

Lu Heng looked up at the fog covering the entire city, as if he could sense a terrifying existence hidden in the fog:

"It's mental pollution. No wonder the danger level of this world is level 3."

If it were just the Horned Demon Overlord, the danger level would be level 2, but with the ubiquitous mental pollution, it would become level 3.

"It has been about an hour since I was teleported here. Does that mean I lose 1 point of energy every hour?" Su Muyu made a simple estimate of the time and came up with a rough figure.

Lu Heng nodded and confirmed: "It is indeed 1 point per hour."

Su Muyu frowned and said, "Then our mental strength can only last for ten hours at most, not three days."

"So we need to find items that can resist mental pollution, or medicines that can restore mental strength, or..."

Having said this, Lu Heng reread the mission instructions for the Abyss Battlefield.

The second challenge is:

【2. Find the castle hidden in the wasteland city. 】

This task did not appear for no reason. At least it showed that there was a castle hidden in the fog of this city.

However, it is not yet possible to determine the nature of this castle.

There may be danger in the castle, but there is another possibility...

Lu Heng expressed his guess: "Perhaps, the castle mentioned in the challenge mission can isolate spiritual pollution."

As they were talking, the two walked to a building that looked like a shopping mall.

Su Muyu ran over, picked up a product package on the ground, stared at the words on it, turned around and said: "I don't recognize any of these words. Is it the language of some unknown small country?"

Lu Heng looked at the surrounding buildings and said, "Maybe it's not a small country, but... another civilization."

"Another civilization?" Su Muyu's eyes widened because this answer was beyond her original expectations.

"The abyss has swallowed more than one world. This city should be just one of the many worlds swallowed by the abyss." Lu Heng revealed this secret that would shock many people.

This secret should have been discovered by humans a year after the abyss fell.

Su Muyu showed an expression of surprise on her face. She could already imagine what the coming of the abyss would bring to the human world.

The present of this wasteland city may be the future of the human world.
