The two Mutants behind quickly followed, abandoning Hank lying on the ground, and directly pounced towards the woman, who posed the greatest threat.
Su Ya knew she was probably doomed today and gave up the futile running, turning to face the two monsters.
A brutal fight ensued. Despite her high ability to react, dodging with Micro-Level agility, she couldn’t withstand the two monsters attacking from both sides and was soon covered in wounds, blood flowing freely.
Su Ya roared, forcing a slash to kill one monster, even as the claws of the other pierced her thigh.
A dull thud sounded as she also fell heavily to the ground.
The injury to her right leg made it impossible for her to get up for the time being.
The remaining two survivors, one being a young guy who had disappeared without a trace, and the middle-aged Hank who lay on the ground, seemingly playing dead.
The last Mutant roared, as if declaring its victory.
Hank secretly lifted his head to peek at the situation and then, scared, closed his eyes tightly, continuing to play dead.
Su Ya felt despair seeing this, her right leg injured, she could only move back bit by bit using her arms.
Leaning against the wall, the girl panted heavily.
The injuries on her body made her mouth fill with blood, every breath giving a strong taste of iron, extremely uncomfortable.
The Mutant was approaching, still maintaining a cautious posture.
Su Ya struggled to lift her heavy arm, ready to give it one last fight with all her might.
But at that moment, she suddenly felt the wall behind her give way, causing her to fall backward—it was actually a door.
A pair of slender hands reached out from inside, grabbing Su Ya’s clothes and pulling her in.
"Uh ah... Quick, quick, close the door!!"
Su Ya was taken aback at first, then quickly reacted and hurriedly spoke to the person beside her.
The person’s actions were swift, immediately reaching out to push the door shut.
Luckily, being in the residential area, the doors were the simplest push-and-pull type, easy to close.
If it were the rich area, all the doors would be automatic. With the power out, there’d be no way to even open the doors in an emergency.
However, the situation didn’t unfold as smoothly as they imagined.
The Mutant outside wasn’t easy to deal with. As it saw its prey being pulled inside, it sped up its pace, rushing over quickly.
A scream sounded, as the creature’s head got caught in the door gap.
"Ah! What, what should we do!"
A panicked female voice came, from the homeowner who saved Su Ya.
Su Ya knew the situation was urgent, hurriedly reaching for the Long Knife beside her, telling the person:
"You, you hold on... don’t let it in... I’ll find a way to drive it out..."
Though she said so, due to her severe injuries, she couldn’t hold the knife for now, let alone strike the monster.
"Ah! Hurry up! I can’t hold it much longer!"
The girl’s voice came again, her hands pressing desperately against the door, jamming the monster, leaving it unable to move.
Narui regretted deeply now, truly at a loss for having opened the door to save someone.
Clearly still just a rookie at such risky actions.
For the past few days, Narui had been obediently staying home as advised by Lord Jixing, not daring to go anywhere.
With enough food, she could continue that life, as she had done for a long time, not being unbearable.
But tonight, she suddenly heard screams outside, along with the terrifying roars of Mutants.
Narui knew it was someone scavenging for supplies in the area being discovered by the monsters.
She had encountered such situations a few times before.
Generally, if discovered by the Mutants in places , the outcome wasn’t good.
However, this time seemed a bit different.
Those people weren’t immediately killed by the monsters; instead, the sounds of a fierce fight echoed incessantly.
Curiosity drove Narui to the door, peering through the lens above, witnessing Su Ya fighting four Mutants alone.
She instantly realized the girl, slightly older than her, was a Genetic Warrior.
She immediately guessed her identity; it must be Su Ya from upstairs, no doubt.
In a place where civilians lived, the appearance of a Mechanical Soldier wouldn’t go unnoticed—at least within these ten floors, everyone knew about Su Ya.
Thus, Narui watched Su Ya’s battle from the door, secretly hoping she could kill all those monsters.
Sadly, though Mechanical Soldiers were formidable, that was only when they were in their Mecha. Now, relying on raw physical strength alone to deal with so many monsters was really too much.
Subsequent events were simple; Su Ya, injured, leaned against Narui’s door, and the hiding Narui finally extended a helping hand, opened the door, and pulled her in.
Whether out of kindness or a foolish impulse, the action was done. Narui had now plunged herself into danger.
Fortunately, she wasn’t just a girl with a pretty face. Before acting, Narui had torn the scroll given by Lord Jixing, enhancing her Constitution.
With this enhancement, the monster got stuck at the door.
Its head was still making angry roars at the two girls inside, with sharp teeth opening and closing, saliva dripping, clearly wanting to tear them apart.
Narui, seeing this close-up, quickly closed her eyes, letting out a series of screams.
She pushed harder on the door, trying desperately to keep it out.
The effect of the Magic Technique for Constitution Enhancement wasn’t instantaneous, gaining potency over a minute.
This provided a buffer during which one’s body could adjust, preventing discomfort from a sudden increase in strength.
Narui was utterly panicked as this was her first close encounter with a monster.
This made her not notice the change in her strength for a while.
"You stay away! You stay away!"
Narui saw the Mutant’s ugly head nearing her face and finally, putting aside her disgust, swung a small pink fist, hitting its forehead.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With each scream, a series of dull thuds came from the door gap, Narui’s "small pink fist" landing blow after blow on the monster’s face.
Lying on the ground, Su Ya kept swinging her Long Knife, attempting to attack the Mutant, but after a long try, there was suddenly silence outside the door.
It was only then that she realized.
She had taken so long, the door should’ve been breached by the monster by now.
Why hadn’t it come in yet?
She looked up in confusion.
The girl who saved her was relentlessly hammering the monster’s head, each strike resonating heavily, shaking the door frame.
The monster’s forehead was severely dented, horrifically deformed, and just like that, was blown to bits.
Su Ya was stunned, watching the girl continuing to pound the monster’s head, completely bewildered.
What exactly happened just now?
Why was that ferocious Savardo suddenly having its head blown off by someone’s bare hands?
What on earth is going on?
