c299: 294: Native Inhabitants (2)

The apocalypse has no electricity.

The city's power supply equipment was already paralyzed, and the idea of large-scale restoration was a mere fantasy. So, except for some important office areas, once night fell, ordinary people's homes would also be plunged into darkness.

Candles were in short supply, and sooner or later, they'd be used up.

But now, the emergence of Light Stones undoubtedly resolved this issue. Over just a few days, the mining of Light Stones exceeded ten tons, an astonishing figure, enough to illuminate half of the Economic Development Zone.

.........

Under the hazy night.

Chen Feng stood in the camp, his brow slightly furrowed. For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt uneasy today, as though something major might happen.

This feeling had been present since the morning and only grew stronger until now.

Chen Feng pressed his brows. As time passed, in just a few days, he would leave this dimension. He reassured himself that perhaps it was worries over the stability of the Dimension Wall causing this chaotic mood.

The surroundings were very quiet indeed, perhaps he was just overthinking.

But not long after.

——"Wuu..."

An urgent sound came from the lookout tower.

Immediately following was the sound of gunfire, strikingly jarring under the night sky; clearly, the personnel on duty had encountered some trouble.

Chen Feng's body tensed, and like a shadow, he darted toward the sound. At the same time, the alerted warriors also grabbed their weapons and followed Chen Feng.

"Sir... enemy attack..."

A warrior stood nervously in front of Chen Feng. He appeared ordinary, but in each of his eyes were two pupils, clearly marking him as a professional.

With enhanced vision, even possessing astonishing night vision capabilities, his professional status meant he didn't have to be frequently mobilized like ordinary people, hence he assumed the role of night patrol.

The warrior obviously hadn't yet recovered from the earlier shock, stammering, "I saw some humans... no... they weren't humans... tall bodies, wrong color, yet they had two legs and two arms, I shot them..."

Humans?

It sounded somewhat incoherent; evidently, the earlier enemy had given him quite a surprise.

Seeing is believing; Chen Feng must witness such matters himself to make a judgment.

Following the direction indicated by the warrior, Chen Feng led the group forward, discovering some footprints along the way, as well as some scattered blood stains.

Clearly, the enemy had attempted to flee, but after being hit by several bullets, they couldn't get far.

A humanoid creature appeared a short distance away. Standing about two meters tall, with gray skin and wearing beast-skin-like armor, in addition to a long face resembling that of a lion with a beastly nose, especially the ears, pointed and Elf-like.

Chen Feng crouched beside the corpse, not looking too pleased, muttering, "Not a human, nor a typical Elf."

"Have they finally appeared?"

"The native residents of this world!"
