Chapter 176: Zero Survivors! The World Begins to Collapse!

!!!!!

This scene violently assaulted Luo Xixi's eyes; she watched helplessly as those people were skewered like meat on a spit, then all swept into the maw of a giant monster. The monster chewed them all up and swallowed them, crunching away just like it was chewing chicken bones.

Luo Xixi was about to go insane.

This scene was simply ten thousand times more terrifying than a horror movie.

"Xixi, we have to leave, now!"

Sheng Tinglan pulled Luo Xixi up from the ground.

Luo Xixi said, "We have to go find Luo Shiqing immediately!"

"You!"

Sheng Tinglan stared fixedly at Luo Xixi. Seeing her resolute gaze, Sheng Tinglan suddenly compromised and said, "Fine, I'll go with you!"

The two of them ran quickly toward the palace where the Leader was located.

The Leader's territory, which had originally been quite heavily guarded, was now covered in corpses and remains everywhere. Fresh blood had dyed the ground red, giving off a pungent, bloody stench. Luo Xixi could only keep brainwashing herself: it's fake, it's all fake, these are just stories, not real.

Then, she and Sheng Tinglan rushed into the Leader's bedroom at the first opportunity.

"Luo..."

When Luo Xixi ran inside, she saw that the bedroom was already filled with a pungent, bloody stench. The Leader, who had already finished being healed, was now dead, and his state of death was extremely miserable. His body had been torn and ripped apart alive; severed limbs and internal organs were scattered all over the floor. His face still held an expression of terror and disbelief, as if even at the moment of death, he was still in shock and bewilderment, not even having time to fight back.

Seeing this scene, which was like a human tragedy, Luo Xixi almost couldn't help but vomit.

"Wuu wuu... Luo Xixi!!"

Just at this moment.

Luo Shiqing's voice came through.

!!!!

Hearing Luo Shiqing's cry, Luo Xixi hurriedly braced her consciousness and searched all around, "Luo Shiqing, where are you?"

"I, I'm here!"

Luo Shiqing was seen slowly walking out from inside the wardrobe. She was still naked, using the city lord's clothes to cover herself. Her body was covered in blood, and she was trembling uncontrollably, as if she had been scared silly.

Luo Xixi immediately walked over and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need healing?"

"..."

Luo Shiqing shook her head incessantly. She said with a trembling voice, "Mon, monster came. It suddenly ran out and killed, killed the Leader. I thought I was a goner, wuu wuu wuu..."

"Then why did you survive?"

Sheng Tinglan walked over and asked cautiously.

Luo Shiqing looked at Sheng Tinglan blankly and shook her head: "I, I don't know."

"What about the monster? Where did it run off to?"

"Don't know."

"From which direction did it run?"

"Don't know..."

"Alright, stop asking."

Luo Xixi stopped Sheng Tinglan, then said to Luo Shiqing, "Hurry up and put on some clothes. The Leader is dead, this city can't be held anymore, we have to run, now!!"

She hadn't expected Sheng Tinglan's premonition to be so accurate.

Before coming to see the Leader, he had said this city wasn't safe. She hadn't believed him at the time, but who would have known that not even a day would pass before the city fell.

"Okay."

Luo Shiqing looked at Luo Xixi with pleading eyes and said, "Luo Xixi, can you stay and keep me company? I'm scared..."

"Fine."

Luo Xixi said to Sheng Tinglan, "You go wait outside first."

"..."

Sheng Tinglan didn't speak, his gaze sweeping over Luo Shiqing once. Luo Xixi frowned and asked, "What are you looking at? Taking advantage of her?"

"Do I need to take advantage of her?" Sheng Tinglan said, then added to Luo Xixi, "Be careful, I'll be waiting for you two outside."

"Mm."

Luo Xixi nodded. After Sheng Tinglan went out, Luo Xixi said to Luo Shiqing, "Hurry and change into your clothes so we can leave!"

"Okay."

Luo Shiqing agreed. A cold, eerie smile flashed in her eyes as she said, "Luo Xixi, you're so good, you're really just too good..."

"..."

Thump!

Seeing Luo Shiqing's expression, Luo Xixi's instinct made her shudder violently. And in the very next second, a tentacle actually pierced straight up from the ground, stabbing directly toward Luo Xixi's heart.

But Luo Xixi's reflexes were no joke. Relying on her excellent reaction speed, she barely managed to dodge the tentacle that had attacked her.

"Luo Shiqing, hurry and dodge! The monster..."

Before Luo Xixi could finish her sentence, her voice came to an abrupt halt.

Because she saw that the tentacle was actually extending from Luo Shiqing's own body.

"Luo Shiqing, you..."

"Jie jie jie jie jie jie..."

Luo Shiqing let out a strange laugh. "Your reactions are so fast. Clearly you're just a Healer Ability user, how is your speed faster than an Enhancement Ability user? But in that case, after I eat you, I'll be able to obtain even greater power."

"..."

Hearing Luo Shiqing's words, Luo Xixi felt a chill run through her entire body. "Luo Shiqing, have you already turned into a monster?"

Could it be.

When the monster broke in just now, had it already killed her and the Leader?

"Hehehehehehe... what do you think?"

No sooner had the words fallen than countless tentacles suddenly swept in from all directions, charging straight toward Luo Xixi.

Seeing this scene, which was like "ten thousand arrows fired at once," Luo Xixi's mind went blank.

Oh no.

There's no dodging this!!

But just at this moment, something like an air shield blocked those tentacles on the outside, protecting Luo Xixi.

!!!!

Luo Xixi whipped her head around to look: "Sheng Tinglan!!!"

Sheng Tinglan was seen rushing in; his expression had become extremely grave and gloomy as he stared fixedly at Luo Shiqing and said, "I knew it, you were fishy!"

"Hehehehe..."

Luo Shiqing laughed, "You knew I was fishy and you still came? Sheng Tinglan, do you like Luo Xixi that much? For her sake, you're willing to risk your life?"

"..."

Hearing Luo Shiqing's words, Luo Xixi was about to be confused again, "Wait! You still remember our relationship! You still possess Luo Shiqing's personality? Luo Shiqing, what exactly is going on with you?!"

"Hehehehe..."

Luo Shiqing continued to let out strange laughs but did not answer.

Sheng Tinglan then explained to Luo Xixi, "Xixi, Luo Shiqing is likely already dead! This thing in front of us is a monster in disguise!"

"What did you say?!"

Luo Xixi was greatly shocked and couldn't believe it, "How is this possible? Already dead? But she knows who we are, she even knows about things from the other world!"

Sheng Tinglan said, "Didn't the guards say? Monsters can already disguise themselves as humans? But their information is delayed; monsters don't just disguise themselves simply, they can even simulate human thought! And this monster is clearly more advanced! It is highly likely the king of the monsters! It has likely already eaten Luo Shiqing and consumed her brain matter, which is why it knows Luo Shiqing's identity, and then used Luo Shiqing's identity to enter the city. As long as it killed the Leader, the entire city would be breached! The proof is that once the Leader died, a large number of monsters immediately rushed in; they were clearly lying in ambush waiting for this monster's command!"

!!!!

Hearing Sheng Tinglan say this, Luo Xixi only felt a chill shoot up from the soles of her feet.

Luo Shiqing was actually already dead!

When they met her, she was already dead!

"Then why didn't they kill us outside? Why did they even bring us into the city?"

Luo Xixi asked again with a trembling voice.

"Likely to have us cooperate with it in acting for the guards. After all, monsters usually eat people on sight; no one would expect a monster to bring two living people back."

Sheng Tinglan analyzed.

"Exactly correct."

Luo Shiqing let out a laugh; her eyes shone as she stared at Luo Xixi and Sheng Tinglan, as if seeing two plump, delicious lambs. Saliva kept dripping from her mouth, and her face also began to deform, twist, and become ferocious and terrifying, saying, "I originally wanted to finish you off first, then go solve that Defense Ability user. I didn't expect your reaction to be so fast, but eating you is only a matter of time."

"..."

Hearing "Luo Shiqing's" words, a strong sense of self-reproach suddenly arose in Luo Xixi's heart. She looked at Sheng Tinglan and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sheng Tinglan, it's all because I was headstrong that I brought you into such a dangerous situation. You had clearly already realized something was wrong with Luo Shiqing, right? Why didn't you run away on your own? I was the one being stupid, I should be the one to bear it."

Sheng Tinglan chuckled and said, "Xixi, how could I leave you behind? Didn't I say? Whatever Yan Yu can do, I can definitely do for you too! You want me to respect you, so I will definitely strive to respect all of your thoughts!"

"..."

Hearing Sheng Tinglan's words, Luo Xixi was almost between laughter and tears.

This person is still competing with Yan Yu at a critical moment like this? She didn't know whether to scold this guy or what.

And at this moment, Sheng Tinglan said again, "Besides, with the situation at this point, it doesn't really matter where we run to."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Xixi was puzzled.

But in the next second.

"Boom boom boom boom rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

Suddenly.

Another heaven-shaking loud noise came.

Following that, the entire ground shattered.

"What? What's going on?"

Luo Xixi was greatly shocked.

And "Luo Shiqing" also revealed an expression of surprise.

The outside began to shake continuously, and even those monsters let out wails, then one by one fell into the Abyss formed by the shattered ground and disappeared completely.

Sheng Tinglan said to Luo Xixi, "Didn't your system mention it? When there are no living people left in the world, the entire Book World will collapse and be destroyed. This is the last human fortress in this world, but it has already been breached. The people in this city have all been eaten by monsters, and the Book World has also begun to be destroyed; everything here will return to nothingness."

"What?!"

Luo Xixi was greatly shocked, "This world is going to be destroyed? Then what do we do?"

"..."

Sheng Tinglan stopped speaking.

His prediction was correct; this was Yehruohua's plan.

It just wanted him and Xixi to disappear completely along with this Book World.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?!!!"

"Luo Shiqing" roared in anger.

Luo Xixi was drawn by its voice; she saw "Luo Shiqing" run to the window, and she also looked in its direction, only to see that outside, it wasn't just the earth shaking and mountains quaking—even the sky had begun to crack...

The sky was continuously shattering, forming a huge suction force, as if it wanted to suck everything in this world inside and then destroy it all.

It's over.

It is completely over.

This world is beyond saving!

"Damn it! We must hurry and find a way to leave!!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Xixi was greatly alarmed and hurriedly asked Sheng Tinglan, "Sheng Tinglan, don't you have the power to cross dimensions? We need to relocate as soon as possible!!"

"I cannot do it..."

Sheng Tinglan gave a bitter smile.

"What did you say?"

"Although I have the ability to cross dimensions, I do not have the Permission to use that ability; it is controlled by Yehruohua, and right now, Yehruohua clearly intends for the two of us to die in this Book World..."
