My Mr. Monster

Chapter 108

The journey wasn't over yet. After a brief rest, everyone set out again. The pain they'd experienced had made them more united. Lu Xuan didn't know whether this was good or bad... he could only watch silently.

Lu Xuan took out his diary and recorded all the happy and sad things. Everything was meaningful and worth recording and remembering.

At Han Song's somewhat embarrassed request, Lu Xuan also gave him a small notebook for recording. Although he had taught himself many characters, he still had not mastered them to the point of practice makes perfect.

The weather was good and they could travel much faster. Lu Xuan felt that sunny days were indeed the best, at least in this ghost place, most monsters would not appear at will.

Of course, with some exceptions, Wu Yang was very concerned about the guy named Song Zhe from last time, and his hostility inexplicably increased.

"I've noticed some changes in this world," Wu Yang said to Lu Xuan, holding up a lizardman's head. "The world outside seems to be full of uncertainty."

Lu Xuan also frowned slightly. Indeed, it was not just monsters, the number of these lizardmen seemed to be a bit too much. If Wu Yang hadn't been here, it might have been very troublesome.

"Indeed, I've never seen these lizards before," Han Song said. "And they're even more troublesome than monsters. At least those monsters won't come out in the sun unless necessary."

"Fortunately, it's not too brutal," Lu Xuan said, "as long as it's a mortal body."

If everyone were like Song Zhe... they would really have no need to live.

"That makes sense." Wu Yang casually threw his head out like a bowling ball, directly smashing the broken wooden boards not far away.

"I won't let these things touch you at all." Wu Yang moved closer to Lu Xuan and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm the boss here."

Song Li and Chen Tianle sighed for a while, and Han Song tried hard not to laugh.

Wu Yang glared at the two men, "Do you want to fight me?"

The two men retreated behind Han Song. Han Song, embarrassed, immediately tried to smooth things over. "That's how they are. Wu Yang, look, Lu Xuan hasn't even said anything yet."

Lu Xuan was stunned and looked at Han Song, thinking, are you just going to push it to me like this?

Wu Yang looked at Lu Xuan and asked excitedly, "Lu Xuan, do you think what I said is reliable?"

"Reliable!" Lu Xuan nodded seriously, looking at Wu Yang with full of belief.

Wu Yang was in a good mood and took out a piece of chocolate from Lu Xuan's pocket to reward himself.

Wu Yang was almost invincible along the way, overcoming all obstacles. The monsters were like NPCs on his upgrade path, posing no threat and could be chopped down with one blow.

After walking for about half an hour, Wu Yang stopped, drew his knife, and said, "I smell a burning odor."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became alert. Several strong men protected everyone behind them. Lu Xuan hugged Jiang Jiang and silently retreated behind Wu Yang.

Everyone was terrified. Being backstabbed by someone was more despairing than being backstabbed by a monster...

"Over there." Wu Yang pointed to a dilapidated building not far away. There were no buildings around it, and the building itself was already very dilapidated.

The group groped their way over cautiously, and the moment they got close, Lu Xuan covered Jiang Jiang's eyes. The scene in front of them was still too terrifying for a child.

There was a fire that was still burning under the building, and all around it were broken limbs and dark red blood. There was a human head that had been thrown into the fire and burned beyond recognition.

Lu Xuan felt a little nauseous, but he endured it. He should have been used to it.

"Is it a person or... something?" Lu Xuan's face turned pale.

Wu Yang took a closer look and said, "It seems to be the work of those lizardmen. These corpses must be the old, weak, and sick who were driven out by other groups. That's why they were killed without any resistance."

Lu Xuan frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but sigh, "The survival of the fittest here is truly reflected to the fullest."

Wu Yang said helplessly, "What else can we do? Not everyone is like Han Song, who can't even get enough to eat and has to support people who eat but don't work. Most people here are like this."

Han Song sighed helplessly and explained, "It's true that most people here would choose this. The elderly and disabled often end up being abandoned. I... think it's better to be more humane."

Lu Xuan nodded, "I can see that you and..."

Just as Lu Xuan was about to mention Wu Yang, he immediately shut up. Han Song was a rare figure in this chaotic area, like gold emerging from a pile of stones.

"What?" Wu Yang narrowed his eyes.

Lu Xuan laughed awkwardly, "Nothing..."

Wu Yang snorted coldly, "Don't take me for a fool. I know what you're up to just by looking at me."

Lu Xuan's mouth twitched and he could only admit defeat. He quickly asked, "How long ago did this happen?"

Wu Yang looked at the mangled bodies and said, "It was probably just a few hours ago. The blood and everything is still fresh."

"Then will we..." Lu Xuan was a little worried.

"We're not dead yet." Chen Tianle said disdainfully, "What are a few lizards afraid of? I don't believe they can survive long after their heads are chopped off."

Lu Xuan looked at the setting sun and said, "It's almost dark. We have to find a place to stay, otherwise it will be very troublesome here at night."

Han Song nodded in agreement, "There must be people and monsters here. We won't patrol this time. Let's find a high building to stay in for the night and continue our journey tomorrow night."

"Okay, let's go with the one over there." Wu Yang pointed to a building about a thousand meters away from them. From here, it looked like a tall building with a fairly complete structure.

Everyone agreed when they heard this, and Lu Xuan also agreed. They felt that patrolling was really unnecessary.

The group quickly headed to the building. No one cared about the corpses. Lu Xuan didn't have that much time to care about them, and it wasn't cost-effective.

His ideas have begun to change imperceptibly. He feels that useless things are too redundant here and may even cause others to fall into irretrievable disaster.

As Lu Xuan walked, he heard a lot of tiny whispers in his ears. He looked towards a corner not far away, where he could vaguely see a pair of scarlet eyes.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yang frowned and approached Lu Xuan to ask.

"There are monsters..." Lu Xuan pointed over there, "but they don't seem to have any intention of attacking us."

To be precise, it seemed that no monsters attacked them at all. Only those particularly annoying lizardmen kept harassing them. These monsters were relatively well-behaved and could even be said to be walking around them.

Wu Yang's eyes were cold, and he was unhappy seeing these monsters. "But after looking at the distance, he finally gave up on killing them. He was worried. Even if he only moved a hundred meters away, he wouldn't let Lu Xuan stay here alone."

"Let's go, don't cause any trouble if you didn't provoke us. Everyone is tired. I'll get you something to eat if you go up there."

"Okay." Wu Yang nodded and stood beside Lu Xuan like a bodyguard.
