Chapter 245: Chapter 178: The Terrifying Old Town_2

Perhaps the situation was even worse than he had imagined.

"Wait, what is Spider-man doing?" suddenly.

Li Yi’s gaze shifted as he saw a Spider-man slowly moving on a wall. A slender and scrawny hand agilely opened a window of a residential building, and then the enormous body gradually crawled inside.

Light appeared in the bedroom of that apartment.

It was clear that people lived there; it was not an uninhabited house.

The movements of Spider-man were very cautious; such large movements did not attract the slightest attention from the people around. If nothing unexpected happened, in a few seconds, Spider-man would completely enter that apartment, and then the people inside would be in danger.

Seeing this, Li Yi did not hesitate at all. He pulled out the sniper rifle from behind, immediately crouched down, cocked the gun, and aimed directly at the Spider-man.

He pulled the trigger.

The sniper rifle resounded instantaneously, and the bullet was discharged.

"Bang!"

The gunshot echoed around the district.

The next moment,

in Li Yi’s line of sight, the Spider-man, which had almost sneaked into the apartment, was instantly hit in the body. Although this was not a special type of bullet, it was powerful enough to kill it. In the blink of an eye, the huge body of the Spider-man was pierced with a fierce wound, followed by splattered blood, twitching limbs, and it toppled onto the balcony.

Startled by the gunshot, other Spider-men immediately scattered and disappeared from Li Yi’s view in a blink.

Li Yi wanted to aim and shoot again, but he could no longer find an opportunity.

"These things are too agile. They run away the moment they hear noise, making it difficult to clean them up completely. Moreover, these Spider-men seem to reproduce.... Last time, Wang Jian and I saw a particularly huge white Spider-man in the Ruined District, which probably was the queen. Indeed, Wang Jian was right at that time; failing to kill it then left a hidden danger that has now brought disaster."

He also felt some regret; it would have been good if they had killed that queen Spider-man then. He Xiong was about to make a move, but suddenly, a bear-man disrupted the plan.

However, thinking about it now was useless.

After confirming that the surrounding Spider-men had been scared off, Li Yi had no choice but to pack up his sniper rifle and quickly leave.

At that moment, the apartment from earlier suddenly had screaming sounds, then the lights turned on, and someone appeared on the balcony.

Clearly, Li Yi’s gunshot had also disturbed that resident.

Li Yi did not pay attention or retrieve the dead Spider-man because he knew that the residents who still lived there must be in poor conditions. He decided to go all out being the good guy by leaving the dead Spider-man for that family. Tomorrow, they could exchange the Spider-man for money. Given the current high prices for Fierce Beast collection, it was enough to change the fate of that family.

Thinking this way, he really felt like a good person, not touched by inherent evil at all.

Suddenly.

Li Yi completely left the Old District, making the surrounding area much safer, with more signs of life and lights brightening the vicinity.

The situation here was much better because just ahead was the AnDing District, and many Cultivators frequented this area.

Since Fierce Beasts have some intelligence, seeing numerous Cultivators moving in and out of AnDing District, they naturally avoid this area, not daring to come close, creating an impression of safety here.

Li Yi soon arrived downstairs at the Peace Finance Building.

He looked around; it was temporarily safe. There were no Spider-men on the walls of the building, but soon he noticed that in the plaza below the building, there were exactly five vehicles parked, including three pickup trucks, one off-road vehicle, and one armored vehicle, all brand new, registered just today.

"It must have been Zheng Lan who bought them. She indeed works efficiently; she got everything done today that was planned for today." Li Yi silently nodded, thinking that it was good to have a team notion, needing cars for trips and also buying a few extra for backup was necessary.

Using facial recognition, he opened the building door and walked into the lobby on the first floor.

The lights here were dazzling, brightly illuminated.

Li Yi first went to the room on the first floor to greet the parents of Silent Ones, and took a look at the operation of the medical pod, ensuring his parents were fine before he could relax. However, seeing his parents like this without any signs of waking up made him feel a bit lost because the awakening of Silent Ones was not unheard of, but it seemed he was not the lucky one; this event did not occur to him.

"Now I have some money, maybe I should consult someone, ask how Silent Ones could possibly be awakened." Li Yi felt he needed to change his approach, not just relying on the medical pod to care for his parents in silence, now with his capabilities, perhaps he could actively change something, trying to heal the Silent Ones.

With this thought, Li Yi turned off the lights, left the first floor, and took the elevator directly to the thirtieth floor.

After reaching the top,

Li Yi opened the door and entered the room. He surveyed the city’s nightscape below. From the changes in the city’s nightscape, it was clear that the center of the Old District was pitch black, and that blackout was spreading outward, continuing until it stopped a few kilometers near the building.
