Time slipped by in the dead of night, silent in the ruined city.
More than half an hour later, Lin Ye stood in the shadow of the Dongjiang City Third Central Hospital.
Under the night sky, the moonlight traced the hospital's sinister and terrifying silhouette. Its countless broken windows gaped like hollow eye sockets.
It was like a steel behemoth lying dormant in the darkness, waiting to devour anyone who drew near.
Lin Ye halted and retrieved a sealed canister from his tactical pack.
He twisted open the lid, and a pungent odor—a mixture of rust, blood, and source energy radiation—assaulted his senses.
Lin Ye evenly smeared the viscous black blood inside on his exposed skin and combat uniform.
This was the blood of a LV.15 elite Fusion Monster he had just hunted and killed.
Lin Ye had discovered that by exuding this "kindred" scent, unique to the Fusion Monsters, he could largely evade creatures that relied on smell and source-energy fluctuations to track their prey.
