Chapter 109: Chapter 109: He Would Scour Heaven and Earth to Find His Sierra Again
Her shouts were loud; it was impossible for the people inside not to hear her.
But everyone acted as if they were deaf, curling up to make themselves smaller.
It was as if by doing so, they could pretend they didn’t exist and ignore the cries from outside with a clear conscience.
The two Superpower Users worked together, having already cleaned and bandaged the injured person’s wounds.
But looking at the injured person’s pale face and weak breathing, neither of them felt any sense of relief.
Even before the apocalypse, an injury this severe would have been extremely dangerous.
Let alone now.
Now, his life was hanging by a thread.
Even though this person was a Superpower User, losing an arm would undoubtedly have a major impact on their life.
The more they understood the situation, the more they detested the woman outside.
This was a living, breathing person who had ended up this way while protecting these very survivors.
At a critical, life-or-death moment, these survivors, out of fear for their own lives, had dared to keep the door shut.
’Are the lives of these survivors the only ones that matter? Are our lives worthless?’
Hearing the woman’s shouts from outside, the two of them wavered for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
Soon, that flicker of hesitation vanished completely.
If they let the woman in now, it would be telling all the survivors on this bus that even if they were locked out, the Superpower Users wouldn’t get truly angry.
That would not only be a betrayal of themselves, but also a betrayal of Sierra, who had made this decision.
Although they were all survivors in this apocalypse and should help each other, the truth was that not every life was worth cherishing.
The woman’s cries continued.
At first, she pleaded, but soon her pleas turned into a stream of curses.
The curses were foul, directed at everyone inside. She must have cursed out countless generations of their ancestors.
But before long, the cursing suddenly turned to terror.
A single, terrified scream was heard, and then, complete silence.
Someone sitting near the window instinctively moved their head closer, wanting to see what had happened outside.
The moment they peeked out, they were met with a pair of enormous, blood-red eyes.
An Aberrant Beast!
The Aberrant Beast’s mouth was still moving, and fresh blood was dripping from the corner of its lips.
Seeing this, it was obvious what had become of the woman, no words needed.
She had been eaten.
The survivor who witnessed this immediately pulled back, frantically clamping a hand over their mouth, afraid they would vomit at any second.
But stronger than the nausea was, of course, the fear.
They knew, of course, that Aberrant Beasts were ferocious and the outside world was dangerous.
But knowing it was one thing; witnessing a living person being devoured by an Aberrant Beast, utterly vanishing from the world, was another thing entirely.
’We could actually die!’
’Aberrant Beasts don’t just attack Superpower Users!’
’This bus that seemed so safe isn’t actually safe at all!’
If the Superpower Users fighting the Aberrant Beasts outside died, then the people waiting inside the bus would die an even more miserable death.
Because the Superpower Users could at least fight back, but people like them didn’t even have the ability to resist.
At that moment, they became deeply aware of what a foolish thing it had been to lock the Superpower Users outside.
Regret and lingering fear filled their hearts.
Someone couldn’t help but start to cry.
Others began to apologize.
The two conscious Superpower Users listened to these near-hysterical apologies with complex feelings.
They knew these people hadn’t truly realized they were wrong.
They were just more afraid than before!
Only when faced with terror can people truly understand themselves and reality.
Sierra didn’t know what was happening inside the bus, nor did she know what had become of the woman.
In any case, as long as the people in the bus didn’t open the door, the woman was doomed to die.
Sierra didn’t know if the people inside would open the door.
But she didn’t care whether the woman lived or died.
That woman was merely the chicken being killed to scare the monkeys.
’Who would care about the life or death of a chicken?’
What Sierra cared about right now were only the Aberrant Beasts in front of her.
’Where did these disgusting Aberrant Beasts even come from?’
They had no fear. Even as their comrades fell one by one, they showed no signs of retreating.
If they didn’t leave, Sierra and the others would have no chance to escape.
Even though more and more people were getting injured, and everyone’s Superpowers were severely depleted, they could only fight to the death and hold on.
Not for the survivors in the bus, but simply for themselves.
They weren’t ready to die!
Having survived this harsh apocalypse for so long, who would be willing to die in the jaws of an Aberrant Beast?
Like everyone else, Sierra was fighting the Aberrant Beasts with all her might. Although she wasn’t injured, her Superpower was nearly exhausted.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t experienced the feeling of her Superpower being completely drained before, but now, as she felt the energy within her gradually fading, Sierra couldn’t help but panic.
When another Aberrant Beast charged at her again, Sierra’s pupils constricted. She instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The Aberrant Beast was exceptionally ferocious.
In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of her.
At this very moment, only a tiny distance separated Sierra and the Aberrant Beast.
Sierra could even clearly feel the wind kicked up by its charge and smell its putrid stench.
Sierra subconsciously tried to block it with her Superpower, her heart sinking.
But the pain she expected never came.
The Aberrant Beast seemed to be frozen in place.
It stopped just a meter away from her.
Sierra blinked and looked closely, only to see a huge Water Arrow protruding from the Aberrant Beast’s body.
The arrow had been shot from behind the beast.
The Aberrant Beast was enormous, but the arrow had still passed straight through its body.
The next moment, the Aberrant Beast fell heavily to the ground.
With the Aberrant Beast’s body no longer blocking her view, Sierra clearly saw Jayce.
Jayce was staring straight at her, his face filled with lingering fear.
The moment their eyes met, Jayce’s eyes suddenly reddened, and tears streamed down his cheeks.
In front of others, Jayce had always been exceptionally proud.
He wouldn’t just not cry; he wouldn’t even furrow his brow.
But now, Jayce couldn’t care less that there were other people around.
In his heart and in his eyes, there was only Sierra.
Seeing Sierra survive that close call, he was more thrilled than if he himself had been saved.
He didn’t even dare to imagine what he would do if something had happened to Sierra.
’If that day ever came, then survivors, bases, Aberrant Beasts—none of it would matter to him.’
He would search the heavens and the earth to find his Sierra again!
