Jie, Xu Haowen, and Ouyang Jin ran aimlessly in this abandoned mega-city. The growls of wild beasts echoed all around, inducing fear that didn't allow them to pause for even a moment. No matter how exhausted, they had to keep running.
Suddenly, a fearsome beast rushed out from a nearby house and knocked down Xu Haowen. Fear-driven, Xu Haowen yelled out for help.
Jie and Ouyang Jin tried to come forward, but more beasts blocked their way, rendering not only their rescue attempts futile but also putting their own lives at stake.
"Help me, please!" Xu Haowen struggled, gripping the beast's neck. Despite putting all his strength, he couldn't push it away. Its sharp teeth coming nearer, Xu Haowen felt nothing but desperation.
Just at that crucial moment, a nimble figure descended from the heavens, landing knee-first on one of the beasts and sending it sprawling. The figure then turned and delivered a solid kick to the head of the beast on top of Xu Haowen.
