"It's like a mutant, yet not…" the girl frowned and said uncertainly.
The man's appearance looked somewhat similar to what the girl had looked like back then, especially the scarlet eyes.
It was just that different from her, the man was not collapsing and seemed to be stable.
His body was not melting, and it instead seemed incredibly firm. His expression was also numb as if he had lost his senses.
There seemed to be some problems with him.
"Could it be that once humans successfully mutate, this is what they will become like?" the girl wondered to herself as she frowned.
This was quite a shocking outcome.
In the past, she had never heard of people who had successfully mutated. She did not even know if Chen Heng had gained his great power through a mutation.
However, this person had undoubtedly gone through a mutation.
"Let's go…"
After looking at that person for a while, Chen Heng shook his head, "There's no way to save him."
For Chen Heng, whether or not a creature was still living depended on their mental ripples.
Mental ripples were something that every living creature had. As long as they had a soul and a mind, they would have unique mental ripples.
However, this was not the case here—Chen Heng could not sense any mental ripples from this person.
Even though he was moving, he did not have a soul and was just a body.
Rather than a person, he was more of a puppet.
This was quite different to the Corpse People from before.
The Corpse People were savage and terrifying, and they were life forms created from mutated corpses.
Even though they were supposedly dead, Chen Heng could still sense mental ripples from them; they were just quite weak.
However, he could not sense any mental ripples from this person.
Standing there, Chen Heng waved his hand, following which the struggling middle-aged man's body froze and his head split open.
Chen Heng then continued onwards slowly.
Ahead was another turn, and after reaching there, Chen Heng's body paused.
There were many figures in front, and there were both men and women.
Their expressions were all numb, and they were not like living people but rather corpses.
However, their eyes were still open, and they stared fixedly at Chen Heng with their scarlet eyes.
In the next moment, faint breezes blew.
Standing there, Chen Heng shielded the girl behind him as he lightly waved his hand.
Bang!
A few figures crashed to the ground simultaneously, leaving a large crater in the ground.
Following this, red blood spilled out, dyeing the ground.
It seemed that despite becoming like this, their blood was still red and did not seem much different to that of ordinary people's.
The stench of blood spread out and filled the surroundings, causing the girl to shrink behind Chen Heng, seeming quite afraid.
When she walked up to take a look, all of them had already lost the ability to resist.
They were not dead and had only temporarily lost their ability to move.
Despite this, they continued to stare at Chen Heng.
Light sounds rang out as a few heads simultaneously flew away.
Chen Heng did not bother sparing them an extra glance as he turned and silently walked away.
"Oi, you should at least leave one alive to ask questions!" the girl shouted, feeling quite frustrated.
However, looking at Chen Heng walking away, she did not have the guts to continue staying there and ran after him.
"Will there be problems if we go on like this?" she asked, feeling quite uneasy.
"Yes," Chen Heng calmly nodded, "and the problem has already come…"
"What?" Hearing Chen Heng's words, the girl paused, not understanding what he meant.
However, this time, Chen Heng did not plan on explaining.
He continued on silently towards the place he had sensed.
As he walked, the unknown energy became denser and denser.
To ordinary people, this energy was formless and could only be detected through measuring instruments.
However, to Chen Heng, this energy was incredibly clear and corporeal.
From his senses, that energy came from the structures ahead.
There seemed to be gazes coming from others there, observing Chen Heng.
That feeling was incredibly realistic to Chen Heng.
Thinking to there, he paused before increasing his pace.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, they arrived at a long street, with many shops on the side. However, most of them were locked up, and only a few of them had not been locked and seemed like they had been pried open.
It seemed that back when the catastrophe had happened, there had been some survivors who had lived here for some time.
Standing beside Chen Heng, the girl's body trembled, feeling incredibly apprehensive.
"This feeling…"
She stuck close to Chen Heng, not daring to step away from him, "Who knows how high the density is here…"
After reaching here, her body continuously trembled. Even with the protection of Chen Heng's energy, she could not stop trembling.
