Chapter 244: Chapter 178: The Terrifying Old Town District

At night, Li Yi left the training base.

He had discussed team formation with Lin Yue, and according to their thoughts, the best scenario would be to form a five-person squad. However, they were still missing two teammates, one sniper, and one cultivator responsible for logistics. The former required very professional sniping skills, while the latter needed a sufficiently large social network.

And both had to be trustworthy.

That wasn’t easy to find.

However, Lin Yue also mentioned that if they really couldn’t find teammates, they could start with the three of them and slowly search for new members afterward.

But no matter what, this matter was essentially settled, just waiting for his response to Zheng Gong first thing tomorrow morning.

Zheng Gong would be very pleased to hear this news, as he had been waiting for this opportunity, but previously his lack of connections and insufficient strength had prevented him from forming a capable squad. However, with Li Yi and Lin Yue leading the way, it would be different. Both were powerful cultivators and the core of the team; as long as they agreed, a team could be formed immediately.

"Wait, it seems I took the wrong road. This way leads to the old district. I’ve moved recently; I should be heading back to the Peace Finance Building now."

Suddenly, Li Yi stopped. He realized he was on the way back to his old home.

He had no choice but to switch to another route and quickly leave the area because he had heard from Lv Jue that the old district was no longer safe, and many had moved away from there.

Li Yi had already sensed something was off during the day, which was why he was in such a rush to move.

"I definitely don’t want to encounter any danger here."

With that thought, Li Yi sped up, dashing swiftly through the alleys, trying to leave the district as quickly as possible and return to a relatively safe place.

At that moment, there wasn’t a sound around, the streets were utterly silent, and not a single light could be seen in the nearby apartment buildings. If not for everything around him being so familiar, Li Yi might have thought he had already entered a dangerous area. It was hard to imagine that less than a month ago, the old district, once bustling with people, could have turned out this way.

As Li Yi quickly passed under an apartment building, his nose twitched.

A strong smell of decay hit him.

His complexion changed, his body tensed, and his pupils dilated as he instinctively glanced at the building.

Although the building was unlit and dim, Li Yi’s eyesight allowed him to see in the dark. With just one look, he saw that every window and entrance of the dim building was filled with people standing motionless like statues, their faces covered in terrifying mortuary spots, and some faces were even rotting with skin continuously peeling off.

Li Yi’s glance seemed to have caught the attention of these people inside the building.

Afterward, pairs of eerie eyes began to look his way.

However, in the time it took for those inside the building to turn and look towards Li Yi, he had already used his speed to cross the building and disappear at the corner of the street, evading their gazes.

Looking at the empty street, all the people inside the building slowly turned their gazes back and stood in the dim building as motionless as before.

"What were those people in the building just now... Corpses? Ghosts? Unclear, but I can be sure that there’s immense danger hidden inside that building, and with my current strength, even I couldn’t handle it."

At this moment, Li Yi did not stop; he had already moved far enough away, but that casual glance still left him feeling uneasy. When the strong smell of decay hit him, his entire being was on alert. Fortunately, his quick actions allowed him to leave the dangerous area in the shortest time; otherwise, he might have really provoked something he shouldn’t have.

"The old district has turned out this way, no wonder there’s no one left. Who would dare to stay here? If these things aren’t dealt with, the impact will only grow larger. Eventually, it won’t just be the old district but even AnDing District that will be affected. By then, the whole Tianchang City will be uninhabitable," Li Yi thought to himself.

With some unease and urgency, he quickly left the old district.

At this moment, Li Yi could already see the Peace Finance Building in the distance belonging to him.

But as he looked up, there was no relief on his face; instead, he showed a serious expression.

Because, in the darkness, he saw a giant Spider-man, not one, but two, three... crawling on a nearby residential building and on the walls of other nearby buildings. With just a glance, there were at least seven or eight Spider-men.

He had seen these Spider-men before; the first time was in the danger zone, the second time in the Ruined District...this was the third time.

"Can it be? Spider-men have infiltrated the old district? And their numbers seem to have increased, their size bigger as well. Has the investigation bureau really not noticed anything? No, that’s not it; it’s not that the bureau hasn’t noticed, but rather that the situation has changed too rapidly recently, and some issues just can’t be dealt with in time," Li Yi’s eyes shone with a worried look.
