CHAPTER 329: CHAPTER 148: THE REAL ENEMY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE APOCALYPSE ITSELF (PART 3)

The words had barely left her mouth when the two children hurriedly nodded.

As Little Yu turned to leave, they were already lifting the unconscious man with their mother, heading toward the direction where everyone was evacuating at the town’s edge.

Little Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and climbed up to the highest wooden house at the southernmost part of the town, then used the roof for leverage, quickly ascending the not-so-high cliff next to it.

From this position, she could clearly see the movements of the distant monsters.

But with just one glance, even she, who always remained calm, couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

They were close.

When she first sounded the warning, the monsters were at least ten kilometers away.

Now, more than an hour later, the monsters were less than 3 kilometers from Qian Island Lake Town!

In at most ten minutes, they would reach the edge of the town.

They would definitely not spare the town, nor the people here!

Little Yu felt her entire body tense up as she shouted a warning to the people moving like ants moving house.

To her slight relief, most of the residents had already evacuated.

She couldn’t help the few remaining ones.

There was no time left.

It was they themselves who didn’t want to leave!

They still harbored fantasies.

Fantasizing that the monsters wouldn’t come, fantasizing that the Mechanical God Church would come to the rescue.

But how could that be possible?!

Taking a deep breath, Little Yu jumped off the roof and ran towards the main group without looking back.

She wanted to protect everyone in this familiar town, but she also knew that some people she couldn’t save!

The wind howled past her ears, and as she passed each house, each fishing boat, she shouted out warnings.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"The monsters are almost here!"

Whether or not anyone heard her didn’t matter, because to her, the most important thing now was to save herself.

Heading west, the evacuation line was already in sight.

But at this moment, a heavy roar suddenly came from behind her.

"Roar----"

With the wind howling fiercely, Little Yu staggered and fell to the ground.

As she looked back, the monster that was originally 3 kilometers away had already appeared at the edge of the town!

Her body was covered in goosebumps, and without caring about her scraped arm from the fall, she scrambled up and ran wildly.

Yet, another gust of storm struck.

The lake surged with waves, and the fragile wooden houses were blown away.

She bent down and struggled forward, while in front of her, a mother and child were also knocked down by the storm, falling into the river and unable to escape.

At this moment, Little Yu instinctively wanted to go forward and save them.

But when the terrifying pressure of the monster behind her descended, fear hindered her actions.

If she hesitated for a moment, she might really die.

Watching the mother and child struggle in the water, Little Yu’s mind raced.

Pull them up, and then don’t worry about it!

Even if it takes two seconds longer to run, it’s still enough time!

She dashed towards the mother and child by the water, using the branches by the lake for support, just about to reach out to grab them, when suddenly, the gigantic monster leapt into the water.

"Boom!"

With a massive splash, the trio was swept away.

At that moment, Little Yu regretted not having stayed away from the lakeshore.

No way to escape now.

She instinctively reached out to tightly grab the unconscious child being slapped by the giant waves, trying hard to kick the water, attempting to find solid ground.

Above her, the monster had already opened its massive jaws.

A huge volume of air was being inhaled.

Its next attack was imminent.

But Little Yu wasn’t looking at it at all.

She was focused entirely on escaping, everything else had faded away.

She was actually ready to die here.

She still wanted to make one last struggle.

---- But perhaps, she wouldn’t need to struggle.

Just as she finally felt the lake bottom under her feet, a massive explosion sounded.

"Boom!"

Firelight exploded in the monster’s mouth, and then, a spectacular firework shot out from above the monster’s head.

The bright yellow light illuminated Little Yu’s face, and she watched as the once formidable monster fell with a splash into the water.

Then, somewhere north of Qian Island Lake Town, the same explosion was heard.

In an instant, the city returned to silence.

Little Yu, stunned, rose from the water and scrambled toward the shore.

But when she wiped the water from her eyes and her vision cleared, she saw a...

strange iron bird flying in the air.

The iron bird could speak.

It said:

"We’re not coming over across the lake."

"The area around here is no longer safe."

"If you’re looking for a place to resettle, try Jinling."
