Chapter 25
But Terrence didn’t know what Victor looked like, nor did he know Victor’s age. He only had a name to go off. How could he find Victor with just that?
“Forget it, I shouldn’t provoke him. Considering that guy’s personality, even if I capture his family, I probably won’t be able to threaten him. If I make him angry, everyone here will die.”
Terrence gave up those unfriendly thoughts. A killing machine like that could only be appeased, not provoked.
Night fell like a giant black velvet cloth that slowly covered the entire city.
Victor strolled leisurely towards Stanley’s apartment.
The entire apartment complex was filled with the smell of smoke. Metal debris scattered everywhere, but the surroundings were eerily quiet.
The initial chaos of the apocalypse had mostly settled down.
The unfortunate ones were dead, those who could hide already did, and the mechanical creatures had either been exterminated or were lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
In fact, Victor had already spotted several mechanical creatures hiding in the darkness within the apartment complex.
Most of them had transformed from pet cats and dogs, but they were no longer the tame and cute beings they once were. Instead, they had become ruthless and cruel.
When their gazes met Victor’s, all of them chose to retreat, without exception. Their survival instincts told them that they shouldn’t provoke this mecha.
Medium-weight mecha were scarce in the city. Most were lightweight mecha converted from motorcycles, cars, and so on.
The mechanical creatures that were eliminated during the day were mostly taken out by lightweight mecha.
If even lightweight mecha could deal with these mechanical cats and dogs, then Victor’s medium-weight mecha was surely more than capable.
“Today is just the beginning. Tomorrow will be even more exciting. No, maybe tonight will be quite thrilling too.”
Victor glanced up at the sky,
The animals that transformed into mechanical creatures included birds.
Not many mechanical birds had shown up during the day, not because they were kinder than other animals, but because they were still adapting to their new body structures. After all, they had to fly.
Tonight, military aircraft would patrol the city, and they would be attacked by the mechanical birds.
This was something Victor had personally seen in his previous life,
While Victor was thinking about that, he reached Stanley’s building.
Stanley lived on the third floor of a six-story building.
With Victor’s current height, he could look directly into Stanley’s apartment.

However, Victor did not reveal himself. He stood quietly next to the building, listening intently to the sound in the
apartment.
“Stanley, what were you thinking? Why is there no food at home?”
Susan’s voice carried a hint of concealed fear and anger. She tried to keep her voice low lest she attract the terrifying monsters.
“Why are you yelling at me? Even if there’s food, it’s not like you can cook! If you want food, there’s a fat guy living upstairs. Why don’t you go seduce him and get some food for us?”
Stanley lay on the couch, his face pale. He was clearly injured, and the injury looked rather severe.
Most women would be fuming if they heard that, but Susan did not respond that way.
She frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with a glimmer of desire. “Really?”
Clearly, Susan was tempted.
“Why would I lie to you?” Stanley shot her a cross look. “What situation do you think we’re in? Do you think I’m in the mood to joke around?”
“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”
Susan actually left the apartment to head upstairs.
“How was I attracted to this kind of woman in my previous life?”
A wave of disgust welled up in Victor. He wished he could slap himself a few times.
During the apocalypse, it was common for women to barter their bodies for food, but that was something that should happen years later.
At the start of the apocalypse, such behavior was very rare.
Susan’s willingness to act this way clearly showed that she had always been a slut.
