My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

Leave Maple Leaf Town.

Tang Yu was still shaken.

Fortunately, the mutated beast had no interest in these small fry, and the three of them left Maple Leaf Town unharmed from the other side.

"The SUV was left in Maple Leaf Town..."

Driving is noisy and the vehicle is too bulky, so leaving means abandoning the vehicle. If it weren't for the fact that everything I brought was in my spatial backpack, this would have been a huge loss.

Even so, Tang Yu felt that he had let down Wang Tai's spirit in heaven.

Having lost the shelter of their off-road vehicle and having slain many demonic beasts blocking their path, Tang Yu and his companions gradually became travel-worn and resembled an ordinary combat team.

Suddenly, Tang Yu frowned as intermittent cries for help came from afar.

Is someone calling for help?

Ahead, through some abandoned vehicles blocking the street, you can see a young woman running and shouting, while a gaunt man with an angry expression is chasing after her.

The young woman ran with great difficulty, stumbled and fell to the ground, her long hair falling loose.

The skinny man behind me was getting closer and closer, and the situation looked very dangerous.

The woman looked pitiful, and anyone with even a little compassion, especially a man, would be tempted to help her.

Tang Yu glanced at it, then stopped in his tracks...

The three of them stood on one side of the street, like indifferent onlookers.

Not far away.

The woman's long hair hung down, and she looked anxious.

Why?

Why aren't they coming over?

Why didn't they fall for it?!

Why?!

She was unwilling to accept it.

Despite repeated shouts, the three people in the distance remained unmoved.

This is a trap, a trap designed to lure the survivors.

Members of the gang were lying in ambush all around.

The young woman was also captured by the gang and forced to satisfy their desires day and night. She had already given up hope, but a few days ago, when the gang planned to set a trap here and needed actors, she volunteered.

She was also promised that as long as she could lure enough survivors into her trap, she would no longer have to be tortured by those strong men every day, and she could even manage the girls who were captured.

The young woman was tempted. She vaguely knew that this group had powerful backers, and that offering attractive girls would bring rewards.

She saw the three people not far away, one of whom was a pretty, delicate-looking girl.

As long as we can get them hooked...

The young woman continued acting, and the skinny man behind her, no matter how slow he was, caught up and slapped her.

It was a real slap, and the young woman couldn't help but scream in pain.

The cries became increasingly realistic.

To act to this extent is truly dedicated.

pity……

Tang Yu glanced at the buildings on both sides of the street and knew there was an ambush there. He wasn't stupid, so why would he go over there?

…………

Inside a building, two people leaned against the window. From this angle, they could clearly see everything happening on the street below, yet they were not easily spotted.

"Why aren't they taking the bait yet? We haven't closed a single deal in the last two days. If this keeps up, we're going to starve!"

One of the men, a punk with dyed red hair, slammed his cigarette butt down on the table. Watching the ash rise, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

The other person beside him was a bald, burly man who was clearly much more composed than the punk guy. "Don't rush. After all, they are a team that can survive in the wild, so they are bound to be a little wary. Let the performance group put on a good show."

The street below.

The skinny man punched and kicked, cursing angrily.

The young woman cried as she pleaded for help from the three people in the distance.

Several tens of seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

This amount of time, which is not much to begin with, seems rather strange under these circumstances.

The bald man frowned. "Could those three be the ruthless and selfish survivors?"

"That shouldn't be the case," the punk man muttered. "Those three look quite young, probably the kind of students who are inexperienced in the ways of the world. Even in the apocalypse, their mentality shouldn't change that quickly. Unless they've been betrayed or framed, people like that are generally more likely to feel compassion."

In this apocalypse, not everyone is as hard-hearted as iron.

Admittedly, the end times are cruel, and when many survivors meet in the wild, they are often wary of each other.

But human conscience will not be extinguished in a short time. Most people may not risk their lives to save others, but many are willing to lend a helping hand.

In the scenario they designed, the pursuer was just a thin man. Regardless of whether he was an Awakened or not, three people fighting one person seemed like a simple task, right? Or perhaps...

The punk rocker looked annoyed. "We've probably been discovered, but we don't know where we slipped up."

Their trap was set up with numerous people lying in ambush in the shops on both sides of the street, and gunmen were stationed at the high points on both sides of the street. Even a fairly strong Awakened would be unable to escape once they were surrounded.

"Let's take the initiative. Those three don't seem very strong. We can't miss this deal. However, if they scatter and escape, it won't be easy to catch them. Here's the order: prioritize capturing the woman. As for the two men, we'll see how it goes. Kill them if we can, but it doesn't matter if they escape."

The bald man made up his mind, his expression turning ferocious. "If they realize something's wrong and run away, it'll be difficult for us to give chase. But since they're still observing from a distance, then..."

Suddenly, the bald man and the punk rocker jumped down from the second floor. Several figures wielding knives appeared in the shops along the street, all running towards them with sinister smiles.

Their group consisted of more than a dozen people, including three Awakened Ones, and they were armed. This was the bald man's confidence.

Such power would be enough to crush an ordinary combat squad in a head-on confrontation.

not to mention,

The bald man sneered inwardly. As he got closer, he sensed that of the three, only the girl was an Awakened One, and her aura was still very weak.

With such strength, they still dare to wait for them to come; it's a case of ignorance breeds fearlessness.

That's fine too. The girl is an Awakened One. Offering her to the boss might bring an even greater reward.

He grinned maliciously, already confident of victory, "Give it all to me—"

Before the word "up" could be uttered, a sharp scream came from the sky.

The bald man looked up and saw a strange black bird hovering above them. The strange bird had a humanoid body, a pointed beak like a bird's, and a pair of large black wings spread out behind it, seemingly covering half the sky.

This is actually a terrifyingly powerful demonic beast!

The bald man noticed it the moment he saw it.

Fear gripped him, and he no longer cared about the prey that was within reach. He tried to turn and run away, but the strange bird had already detected the presence of the group of humans and swooped down!
