The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

"What? Someone killed the security guard who came to the door and then fled out of town?"

The next day, Ji Chen received the latest news.

He stroked his chin. "Could there really be some unexpected gain?"

Ji Chen gathered several other awakened individuals with superpowers who had made contact with the escape duo.

In any case, it's best to gather some information first before making a judgment.

"You mean you had a meeting last night to discuss that those two fugitives were very likely the ones who reacted the most strongly to the registration issue that day?"

The three slightly flustered awakened individuals nodded hastily.

"I could tell yesterday that these two were mentally unstable, but I never expected them to be so utterly depraved."

The three men vehemently denigrated the two fugitives, blaming them for all the arguments from the previous night, hoping to distance themselves from any connection.

After all, they had been in contact with those two people before the incident, and it would be terrible if they were labeled as accomplices because of it.

Of course, they also secretly wished they could tear the two troublemakers apart.

You can run away if you want, but why plant a landmine for your brothers before you run away?

After hearing all the information, Ji Chen waved his hand somewhat boredly, signaling them to leave.

He thought he was going to catch a big fish.

In retrospect, it turns out that the act of running away was simply a result of guilt and fear of the unknown.

this... ...

Isn't it good to be alive?

Ji Chen took a step forward, and he was already like a streak of light, sweeping past the tall buildings of the city, leaving a series of afterimages as he chased after the two fleeing people.

He killed his men, challenged the order under his command, and now he wants to run away?

Besides, what if these two are running away because they feel guilty because their superpowers are too strong?

In short, Ji Chen absolutely cannot let these two go.

. . . . . .

On the wilderness, Zhang Xun rode a wild boar away from D City and sped off at breakneck speed.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that the wild boar's forelegs, which support its body, retain clearly discernible human hand structures, with twisted knuckles gripping the ground tightly. Its hind legs are also unusually thick and long, far exceeding those of any known wild boar.

This is not a wild boar at all, it is clearly a ferocious boar-man!

"You son of a bitch, I'll fucking piss you!"

"Didn't you say that all I had to do was hypnotize that security guard? Why did you suddenly kill him?!"

"What right did you have to kill him? Didn't you know the consequences of doing this?!"

Zhang Xun felt like he was going crazy.

First, he was inexplicably coerced by this pig, which was enough to make him angry and frustrated.

But to his utter surprise, this bastard gave him a "surprise" in the blink of an eye—

This directly and passively made him an accomplice in the murder of the security guard!

What a terrible teammate.

"Hmph!"

The boar-man grunted indifferently twice.

Since she became like this, her two remaining family members after the disaster, her brother and father, have completely changed their attitude towards her.

Not only did I stop bringing it cakes and milk tea, but I also frequently complained to it that we were running out of rice and flour at home.

But what can it do?

After awakening that so-called superpower, it became like this: not only ugly, but its appetite also became enormous.

Even in its current state, those two Tian Li still wanted it to go out and work as a bricklayer for the isolation wall, to supplement their household income.

This is pure oppression.

Furthermore, the stimulation from the investigation into supernatural abilities gave it the idea to break with everything and head to the wilderness with the lucky guy it was carrying.

Humans don't welcome me, so I'll join the mutant beasts.

"Anyway, you can't go back. Now we're in the same boat. As long as you cooperate with me, what does it matter if it's the wilderness?"

The boar-man bared his two large tusks.

It was a good idea. Zhang Xun had the ability to hypnotize and could attack from a distance. It was tough and resilient, and could fight well. With the two of them combined, they could live well in the wilderness.

The key point is that Zhang Xun was a chef before, so he can solve its food problem.

"Hehehe..."

After venting his frustrations, Zhang Xun seemed exhausted and stopped talking.

But if the boar-man could see his back, he would have seen the glint of anger in Zhang Xun's eyes.

His outburst just now wasn't just venting; it was also hypnotic.

Zhang Xun truly didn't understand what the pigs below were thinking. They dared to provoke him again, and even knowing his abilities, they were still so carefree as to let him act freely.

Aren't you afraid of crashing?

What a pig!

After Zhang Xun had thought it through, he hypnotized the boar-man below and escaped the danger in D City. He then fled to a new city to start a new life.

As for this boar-man, he'll be used as the lowest of pets.

Just then, the boar-man suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

A sense of danger triggered its instincts.

At this moment, they had run fifty miles and completely left the "cleanup zone" of D City.

The orderly world behind them was left behind, and a completely different scene appeared before them. Grass and trees grew wildly and reclaimed the land. In the shadows of the forest, the traces of ferocious mutated beasts could be seen from time to time, and the air was filled with wild restlessness.

"Awoo~~"

"Awoo~~"

Suddenly, as if they had smelled their prey, a series of chilling wolf howls rang out.

The two who had charged forward suddenly gasped, as if they had been targeted by some kind of apex predator, and felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"... ...Wolf."

The boar-man was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he said in a trembling voice.

At this moment, it was Zhang Xun, who had been forced out of the city, who calmed down and shouted:

"What's the panic? It's just a mutated beast. Ordinary people in D City can clear out all the mutated beasts within a fifty-mile radius. We're awakened superpowered individuals, what are you afraid of?"

Before awakening her superpowers, the wild boar-woman was just a lazy and gluttonous fairy. Now, when faced with a situation, she immediately became flustered and could only let Zhang Xun do as he pleased.

Of course, Zhang Xun's psychic abilities may also have played a role in this.

Zhang Xun led the boar-men to a tall, strange tree that looked like three or five trees joined together, and they used it as a support, hiding in a corner of the tree.

In the past, Zhang Xun would have cared whether such a strange tree was dangerous—after the apocalypse, any species could suddenly transform into a deadly creature.

But now, faced with mutated wolves that are most likely hunting in packs, he can only temporarily ignore them.

It was only then that Zhang Xun realized that D City had protected them too well, and that the dangers of the wilderness were far greater than ordinary people imagined.

Deep within the gloomy thicket, pairs of pale green pupils suddenly lit up without warning, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps.

(The trees mutated and evolved, greatly enhancing their ability to absorb sunlight. In the wilderness shrouded by these mutated plants, the light was extremely weak.)

The next moment, a pack of wolves with mottled fur surged out like a tide, instantly surrounding the two of them.

These mutated giant wolves, even the most ordinary ones, are several meters tall. They stand silently, like moving shadow houses, casting a suffocating sense of oppression.

Among them, several were exceptionally large, their bodies resembling small mountains. Just by standing there, the ferocious aura emanating from their bodies was almost tangible.

Zhang Xun's hands and feet were ice cold.

How do we fight this?

But the wolf pack did not attack immediately; instead, they waited silently for something.

Hope welled up in Zhang Xun's heart.

Soon, the sound of trees being broken and vegetation falling rapidly approached, and then a giant wolf with silver fur and eyes flashing with a ferocious blood-red light suddenly rushed in.

After the silver wolf appeared.

All the mutated giant wolves lowered their heads in unison, including the few that were as big as small mountains, and submitted to the silver wolf.

"Aww... ...woof, human... ...human, where do you come from?"

A dry, yet gradually clearer voice came from the silver wolf's mouth.

Zhang Xun stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
