Illimitable Until Death - Chapter 18

Panic filled the entire station.

Fang Li, who was running frantically, instinctively stopped his footsteps and looked at the shattered city gate and the buildings destroyed by the Iron Fortress. His fist clenched involuntarily.

“Has it begun?”

Terrified people fled in disarray from Fang Li’s side.

Despair and fear permeated the entire street.

In such a situation, Fang Li stood motionless, seemingly out of place with his surroundings.

“Dang… Dang… Dang… Dang…!”

The alarm bells continued to ring.

“Ah… Ah… Ah…!”

Shouts, whether from humans or monsters, echoed in the air.

“Bang… Bang… Bang…!”

The sound of intense gunfire roared to life.

Clearly, the samurai’s of the Aragane Station had already begun their battle with the Kabane.

However, the situation was far from favorable.

“I wonder how Ayame-san is doing right now.”

According to the original storyline, at this moment, the head of the Yomogawa Family, who should have received the message and went to check the Iron Fortress for evacuation, was targeted by the Kabane and ultimately lost his life.

Meanwhile, Yomogawa Ayame, while waiting for her father’s news, was pressured by cowardly samurai’s and had no choice but to start moving towards the location of the Iron Fortress for evacuation.

Of course, before that, Yomogawa Ayame would also take the evacuated Aragane Station residents with her.

If everything went smoothly, Yomogawa Ayame would eventually reach the location of the Iron Fortress for evacuation.

“It’s better to go there first.”

After making up his mind, Fang Li planned to continue moving.

Just then…

“Yi… Ah… Ah… Ah…!”

Accompanied by a piercing scream, the panicked fleeing crowd on the street involuntarily turned their heads to look towards the direction leading to the city gate.

Immediately after, screams of extreme terror rang out one after another.

Fang Li abruptly stopped, preparing to take action, and looked ahead.

There, a corpse-like shadow rushed out, grabbing the shoulder of a samurai holding a gun and sinking its teeth into his neck.

The samurai didn’t even have a chance to scream before several more shadows appeared and pounced on him, biting relentlessly.

In an instant, blood splattered.

Like prey being pounced on and overpowered by a ferocious beast, the samurai was overwhelmed by the Kabane, becoming their food as they slowly drained him of his blood.

Witnessing this scene, screams of despair and fear resounded from the mouths of the fleeing crowd.

Some people even forgot to escape, staring blankly at the scene as if they had lost their souls.

In this situation, one Kabane lifted its terrifying head, its eyeless gaze filled with ferociousness. Like a cheetah, it tensed its limbs and suddenly pounced on the nearest woman.

The woman couldn’t react, she could only stare helplessly at the Kabane rushing towards her, trembling uncontrollably, unable to move.

And in that instant, only one person took action.

“Shing…!”

Amidst the distinct sound of something slicing through the air, a flash of cold light swiftly pierced through the glowing heart of the Kabane that had reached the woman.

“Boom…!”

The sound of glass shattering resounded in the ears of everyone present.

“Haah…” The terrifying expression on the Kabane’s face suddenly turned dull, and it slowly fell to the ground.

A single strike, instantly lethal!

This scene caused the eyes of each and every spectator to widen in astonishment.

Especially the young woman, who looked at Fang Li standing in front of her out of nowhere, took a moment to react.

“Why are you still standing there?” Fang Li, holding a dagger, shouted loudly, facing the crowd on the street. “Hurry up and evacuate!”

The ordinary civilians finally snapped out of it, screaming in shock as they resumed their hasty escape.

Including the young woman who was saved by Fang Li.

Only then did Fang Li breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Main Quest 2 clearly stated that the more surviving civilians on the train after escaping from Aragane Station, the greater the rewards Fang Li would receive.

Even just for the rewards, Fang Li felt the need to lend a hand.

However, as a result, all the attention of the Kabane on the street was drawn to Fang Li.

“Ah… Ah… Ah…!”

In an instant, the Kabane let out terrifying roars and rushed towards Fang Li.

At this moment, the ordinary civilians had only just escaped a short distance.

If Fang Li ran away with them, it wouldn’t take long for the Kabane to catch up to them.

Each Kabane possessed physical abilities surpassing ordinary humans.

Even with Fang Li’s Agility stat of 6 points, it didn’t necessarily mean he was faster than those Kabane.

So, in order to prevent the Kabane from catching up, Fang Li had to stay here and buy time.

Fortunately, there were only three Kabane rushing towards Fang Li, while the rest continued to feast on the freshly captured prey by the roadside.

“Only three?”

Fang Li’s expression became unusually calm.

He tightly gripped the dagger in his hand.

His eyes turned into icy blue Mystic Eyes.

As he faced the three Kabane charging towards him, Fang Li didn’t retreat but advanced, stepping on the ground and leaping forward.

“Ah… Ah… Ah…!”

Perhaps provoked by Fang Li’s audacious attitude of not retreating, the three Kabane let out even more terrifying roars. Their speed increased, and they opened their mouths full of sharp fangs, roaring as they pounced.

However, at this moment, Fang Li suddenly stopped his movement and abruptly turned to the side, taking a standard vertical path.

Because of the excessive momentum, the three Kabane couldn’t stop their bodies when their prey suddenly changed direction. They continued to charge forward along their original path.

“That’s why I said, you Kabane are so foolish, relying on a straightforward attack pattern. You’re even worse than beasts.”

This was one of the reasons why Fang Li could easily kill Kabane with his low attribute values.

These monsters…

“So stupid!”

Turning sharply to the side, Fang Li made another swift turn and swiftly retreated.

At this moment, the three Kabane happened to pass by Fang Li’s side, exposing their completely defenseless backs to Fang Li’s eyes.
