Chapter 993: Chapter 353: Awakening

“Ah Zhan, do you think we will survive, right?”

In the safe house, Jiang Lingling spoke without reason.

Han Zhan snapped back from his daze, they hadn’t known each other for very long, and this was the first time he saw Jiang Lingling in such a fragile posture.

It seems that even a strong-willed woman has a vulnerable side.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan pondered some comforting words in his mind and said:

“Don’t worry, there is always a way out.”

It was strange indeed.

Even though it’s his first time experiencing all this, including the recent shooting, he felt only a hint of discomfort initially and quickly adapted.

“If it truly is the spiritual energy resurrection like in the novels, then not only animals but humans might also awaken.”

Han Zhan meant this to boost Jiang Lingling’s confidence,

But as soon as the words left his mouth, the safe house suddenly shook violently.

It was as if something enormous had crashed into it.

Bang!

“What’s happening outside?”

“Is it the authorities taking action?”

“Impossible, the authorities wouldn’t attack buildings, and if it were them, the commotion would be greater.”

Bang!

Before Jiang Lingling finished speaking, there was another dull roar.

The entire safe house quivered, dust scattered everywhere.

A barely noticeable crack appeared on the wall.

Boom, boom, boom!

With a continuous series of sounds, more cracks appeared around them,

followed by a final crash.

The originally tightly closed safe house door fell inward.

The massive door fell with a thunderous sound, accompanied by rising dust.

In the midst of the swirling dust, an unexpected silhouette appeared abruptly.

Upon seeing the figure, Han Zhan’s heart skipped a beat.

His sharp eyes caught sight of white mist seeping up from the ground, and he had a guess.

“Mutated Awakened!”

“Congratulations, you guessed right. As a reward, I decided to let you live and watch her revel under me!”

The speaking middle-aged bodyguard was now evidently bulkier than before.

His exaggerated bulging muscles held an unknown terrifying power.

After finishing, he stepped forward.

The entire man shot forward like a cannonball.

“Watch out!”

Without thinking, almost instinctively, Han Zhan gripped the bulletproof shield with both hands and took a step forward, shielding Jiang Lingling.

The next second, he felt like a massive truck collided into him without even the slightest resistance.

The bulletproof shield shattered, and Han Zhan’s body was sent flying far away.

Intense pain, numbness, his entire back nearly losing all sensation, who knows how many bones broke from the impact.

Facing an awakened human, Han Zhan had no power to resist.

Immediately, the middle-aged bodyguard’s figure blurred once more, already at Jiang Lingling’s side, he reached out with a single hand to grab her throat, lifting her off the ground.

“President Jiang.”

Looking at the beautiful woman resisting desperately in his hand, his face showed both pleasure and madness.

He had begun imagining taking down Jiang Lingling, alongside the tormented scene of her fiancé screaming hoarsely.

Bang!

A gunshot interrupted his thoughts.

A gaping hole pierced his right shoulder, modern weapons could still cause harm to the awakened.

Bang!

Another shot.

In pain, the middle-aged bodyguard’s face grew more fierce, he abruptly dropped Jiang Lingling from his hand, turning to face the sneaky Han Zhan.

“I gave you a chance to live, but you’re useless.”

“Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll fulfill that wish.”

The middle-aged bodyguard clenched a fist and swung it towards Han Zhan’s half-lying form.

This punch carried the sound of thunder, as if it could suppress the wind.

If hit by this punch, given Han Zhan’s current physique, it’d be even less than the defense materials of the safe house, likely fatal on the spot.

From afar, Jiang Lingling staggered to her feet, she bit her lips trying to stop it, but could do nothing.

Han Zhan watched as the opponent’s fist grew bigger and bigger in his view.

His demeanor, however, grew increasingly calm, calm to the point of indifference.

Facing life or death, something seemed to be awakening within him.

Just at that critical moment, a stream of hot blood suddenly splattered across his face.

The fist belonging to the attacking middle-aged bodyguard, who hadn’t gone long from being awakened and flaunting, abruptly turned into mush.

Yes, mush.

Because there was a snow-white wolf leg slowly retracting from there.

It was a white wolf!

It exposed half of its front, two wolf legs forcibly digging into the ground, menacing wolf eyes overlooking below with eerie green gazes.

The commotion made by the middle-aged bodyguard after he mutated and awakened drew attention.

The white wolf took a bite downward, consuming the bodyguard’s corpse, along with the soil beneath, in one go.

In the blink of an eye, a giant gap was left in front of Han Zhan, bitten off by the giant beast.

It was to consume the bodyguard’s flesh.

Why was the bodyguard chosen as the first target?

It even consumed the soil.

What commonality did they share…commonality…Han Zhan’s mind raced, a flash of realization came to him.

It’s the white mist, the spiritual energy resurrection’s white mist, it’s consuming the white mist.

The white mist can be absorbed, killing others to steal the mist, the more mist one possesses, the stronger they become!

The moment Han Zhan understood this, the white wolf already consumed the soil and corpse.

Its size visibly growing before it lowered its head once more.

From Han Zhan’s perspective, he could see dried blood crusting the wolf’s fur, each strand hanging like a curtain.

The bloody scent emanating forth, human and wolf eyes met in that moment.

“Lingling, run!”

Seeing the white wolf’s gaze, Han Zhan realized it wasn’t just preying on targets possessing the spiritual white mist, ordinary humans would also become its blood prey.

Insanity, bloodthirsty, slaughter.

Hoping to escape from the wolf’s mouth was no longer possible.

What Han Zhan thought now was to let as many escape as possible, using himself to draw the white wolf’s attention, giving Jiang Lingling more time.

As he finished, Han Zhan quickly raised his hand, gripping the gun and fired the last few remaining bullets.

Bang, bang, bang!

The bullets struck the white wolf with no blood showing, ineffective attacks indeed enraged it.

The next moment, the wolf’s jaws roared down, piercing his body with its fearsome oversized fangs.

Han Zhan was bitten high into the air by the white wolf, at this moment, in the wolf’s blood-stained mouth, human blood, beast blood, and Han Zhan’s fresh blood mixed together.

As the wolf’s bite neared closing, no one noticed the wisps of white spiritual mist surging into Han Zhan’s body!
