Chapter 821 New Developments

Liam immediately became sober and got out of bed as he could tell that this was something urgent and probably troublesome, as the redhead had even ignored their previous interaction to run to him for help.

"What happened?" His interest was piqued. Was it Crawford? His mind immediately went to that petty old man who was probably still hell-bent on destroying him and claiming back his tower.

However, the next second, Alex opened her mouth and said something unexpected. "A new type of zombie, I think?"

"Huh?"

"We were clearing a huge beast horde in the east when we ran into two other people. They were getting overwhelmed by the beasts, so we rushed ahead to help them, but it was too late. They were dead by the time we arrived."

"Hmmm?" If they were dead already, then what was the problem?

"It's their corpses. The two guys looked like… ummm… they had been dead for several days." Alex explained awkwardly. "Look, if there were a working phone, I would have taken a photo for you. You have to trust my words! They really looked weird. Dead and desiccated."

"Ok." Liam nodded. "I believe you, but you guys should stay away from that beast horde then. There is probably some sort of poisonous beast in that area. Those could be tricky, and we don't have any antidotes or healers yet. Best to play it safe."

However, Alex shook her head. What Liam said was probably what she should have done, but they had followed the vehicle tracks of the two guys instead. "There is a bigger camp in that area."

"What?"

"We were only able to scout a little, but a group of people had gathered in that area. They looked a little like the mana zombies, except I saw some of them having horns on their heads. Could it be some sort of demon virus?"

Liam remained silent.

"What happened?"

"We were almost caught. We escaped by using the beast horde, but it was a very close save." Alex lowered her head in guilt. "I am sorry. I should have turned back earlier. I didn't think we would run into anything like this."

"It's fine." Liam nodded. "You did good escaping from there. Stay here and take a break. I will take care of the rest."

"Ok. Be careful. They seemed strong."

"I got it." Liam was not planning on underestimating them. If Alex and the others thought that they were strong, they were probably strong. But what he did not understand was… what the hell was demons doing in this area? Or the demonic virus or whoever the group had run into?

"This is not good." Liam clicked his tongue. It was one thing for the timeline and history to change back in the game, but why were new, unexpected things popping out in the real world too? In his last life, he hadn't heard of anything like this at all.

"I need to pay them a visit." He prodded Luna until she woke up too, and the two of them then immediately left the hotel. They arrived at the specific coordinates within minutes.

"Don't go any closer." Liam quickly patted the fox. He could already see the group Alex was talking about. Coincidentally, they were still in the same area.

There were a few men standing around with guns, guarding two trucks and just like Alex had mentioned, these guys had horns on their heads, and their faces were slightly contorted. They only barely resembled humans.

"What the hell are these?" Liam silently pondered.

In the next couple of seconds, a few beasts wandered their way, and the sturdy men quickly dealt with them without panicking in the least.

They did not even use their weapons and only used their fists. They punched the beasts as if they were merely puppies, bringing out explosive strength from their fists.

"So they are not worried about the beasts…"

This entire zone was crawling with beasts, but the group did not seem to care about that at all. Their strength was also above the level of these beasts.

Now the question was… just how strong were they?

Liam summoned one of the barbarians to take a look at the situation. However, he quickly dismissed the soul minion.

"I should wait. This doesn't look like their final destination."

These men by themselves did not look all that strong even though they overpowered the beasts, so Liam decided not to take any immediate action.

It was more important to get to the bottom of this situation and find out what exactly was happening here.

The place also did not have any necessities that were required for a campsite. Clearly, they were not living here. Judging from the presence of the truck, perhaps they were moving something from here to their main base.

Liam waited patiently for another half an hour. Soon, he heard a loud rumble of a truck coming to the same spot. The group of men immediately bustled about, and everyone got into their respective trucks.

A few minutes later, the two trucks started moving again.

"Luna. Let's follow them."

Kyuuu. The fox snarled as she slowly started drifting across the sky, trying to stay out of sight of the two trucks. Meanwhile, Liam summoned some of his soul minions to take care of the beasts crawling around in the area.

Another couple of hours passed, and the trucks finally came to a halt. They stopped in front of a huge hospital building. The armed men quickly jumped out of the trucks and opened the backs of the vehicles.

Just as Liam curiously watched what they were about to retrieve from the trucks, an unbelievable scene played out in front of him.

About thirty people climbed down from the trucks under the loud threats of the armed men. Among these people, men and women of all ages were present, even some young children.

And they were all in chains!
