Chapter 289: Ruins, Despair!

Ye Ning stood in front of the ruins, his heart full of helplessness and shock. The once familiar logistics center is now in tatters, with walls crumbling, defenses destroyed, and everything reduced to wreckage. His eyes were fixed on it all, and his eyes flashed with unspeakable pain.

Ye Ning's face was pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his muscles were tense, and his whole body seemed to be oppressed by a boundless despair.

According to the route of the map, Ye Ning passed through this logistics supply station first.

It is important to know that the logistics supply depot is an indispensable place for long-term troops, and the security measures will not be bad. What's more, this kind of place is usually cleaned first and confirmed to be safe before it is located.

In other words, it is theoretically relatively safe here, and even if there are demon beasts, they are only the remaining, relatively weak, and demon beasts that have escaped the catastrophe. Strong will not be very strong, and it will not threaten the researchers of the logistics supply depot at all.

It is precisely because of this that the logistics supply station will be set up a little bit more decently, so that those demon beasts will know that there are people here. In this safer place, the demon beast is afraid to avoid people when they see it.

But that's it, Ye Ning stood in the ruins, looking around, the once familiar home had become unrecognizable. Walls have collapsed, furniture has shattered, and broken porcelain and dilapidated furnishings are scattered on the floor. He was stunned by the mess.

The room was in shambles, with photographs and precious items scattered on the floor, and the destroyed furniture and items smelled of heartbreak. He could feel the stinging in the depths of his heart, as if an invisible knife was cutting through his heart.

In this ruin, Ye Ning felt an inescapable reality, he had lost a warm logistics supply station, and he had lost the place he once relied on and felt at ease. This sense of hopelessness left him feeling completely lost and helpless, as if he could no longer find hope and meaning in life.

This level of destruction is either that there is an incomparably powerful demon beast here, or that a beast tide is coming, but in either case, this is the most lethal for a logistics supply base with an average level of basically less than A-level.

Perhaps, this is just the desolation of the logistics supply depot, or maybe it is a well-hidden front-line combat base that will not be discovered by those unknown behemoths. Maybe those bases are still fine, and the others are waiting for Ye Ning to return.

Nor will they continue to move forward, looking for the traces of others, and keep moving towards the base they have set before. But they can only see broken and desolate, more desolate and broken than ever.

There was silence and silence in the ruins, no voices, no animal songs, and the whole scene felt incomparably desolate and desolate. No laughter, no crying, no animal chirping. The whole scene seems to have been forgotten by time and abandoned by war.

Standing among the ruins, Ye Ning felt endless sadness and loss. The deathly silence conveyed boundless despair, and Ye Ning understood that there was definitely something that completely destroyed this place.

Whether it was a human or a demon, there was complete silence here, and there was no sound. The sound of his walk echoed through the area.

Ye Ning's eyes were full of trepidation and uneasiness, and he looked around nervously, for fear that his teammates would be sacrificed. His heart was racing, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his muscles tensed.

Ye Ning tried to keep his composure, but he could clearly see that his hands were trembling slightly. His hands were filled with seals, ready to attack. As if it would give him some security, even though he understood that it was just an illusion and could not really protect him from harm. If those demon beasts that destroyed all this came, Ye Ning would just be a mantis arm as a car, a drop in the bucket.

Anxiety and fear gripped his heart, causing him to constantly imagine the worst. Every time his teammates are destroyed by monsters, he is terrified, and he fears that his teammates will become victims on the battlefield. At this moment, Ye Ning's abundant power has become his current drag.

This strong emotion made him nervous, and he didn't want to lose any of his teammates, because their relationship with each other was not just teammates on the battlefield, but also became partners who depended on each other and experienced life and death.

He is always on his toes, trying to look for possible signs of danger while leaving no stone unturned in his search for his teammates. His face showed a kind of firmness and determination, it was just to embolden himself, but the fear in Ye Ning's eyes could not be hidden.

Finally found the previous location of the mall, that mall is not like before, the broken walls outside have been broken more, those sparse rolling stones on the ground, it looks more like the scene after a big war.

Ye Ning's eyes were dull and dazed, the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down, his muscles tightened, and his breathing was short. His face was full of disappointment and powerlessness, full of endless pain.

He tries to find a glimmer of hope, but the cruelty of reality leaves him helpless. Now he can't shake off the mess in front of him. A sense of despair quickly invaded his heart, and he fell into a powerless and hopeless situation. The fantasy of his teammates' sacrifice had made Ye Ning unbearable.

Ye Ning held on to the last trace of fantasy and walked towards the basement of the mall, and a flame was lit in his hand, illuminating the dark scene. It was in ruins, completely destroyed, desolate and sad.

The ceiling had not even been completely broken by something, and the basement was littered with rubble, debris, and broken objects. Chaos and fragmentation in the ruins are everywhere.

Originally, the store shelves were torn beyond recognition, the goods were destroyed in a mess, sleeping bags, rice bowls, it seems that there are traces of other people's lives here. Whatever it was, it was now reduced to a pile of scrap metal and debris. The glass vitrines on the walls had all shattered, leaving a dangerous sharp edge.

The ground is covered in a thick layer of dust and ash, and the layers of ruins give a suffocating feeling. There is no vitality here, only silence and destruction.

You must know that no matter how desolate this place was, it was also cleaned by Yang Ling and them. The remnants and dust of these household items are even more indicative of the unimaginable force that has been destroyed here.

This force completely razed the basement to rubble, leaving only a few pillars and supports. Only a faint light shone through the destroyed ceiling in the darkness, creating a gloomy scene.

Standing in the midst of this ruin, Ye Ning felt hopeless and helpless. Now all that's left is an incredible amount of wreckage. He felt the misery and impermanence of life, and he felt that he could not bear it all.

Ye Ning comforted himself, at least until now, he hadn't seen the corpses of his teammates, not a single corpse, whether it was a demon beast or a human. At the very least, it should be a safe retreat.

Ye Ning comforted himself like this as he walked upstairs. Now for him, it was the right thing to do to go back to Night City as soon as possible. After all, I don't have a mobile phone, so I can only know what is going on if I hurry back.

Ye Ning walked to the first floor of this unobstructed shopping mall, and he still couldn't get rid of the idea that they were slaughtered by powerful demon beasts or beast tides after they went out on a mission, which made Ye Ning feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the sky was overcast, lightning and thunder roared, and a violent thunderstorm began. This scene gives people a dramatic atmosphere, creating a tense and unpredictable atmosphere, as if telling Ye Ning that nothing good is good.

Large thick raindrops poured down vertically from the sky like sharp blades, smashing the ground. Thunder rumbled, like the sound of heaven and earth fighting, making people palpitate.

Lightning pierced the dark sky, illuminating the entire landscape, revealing the ruins and desolation of the streets. Each lightning bolt brought a rapid and intense light that illuminated a bleak scene for a moment.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and soon it rained, Ye Ning's mood became even heavier and more desperate, and the mood that accompanied the rain falling to freezing point was unbearable.

He looked up at the dark sky, and every lightning and thunder seemed to reflect the pain and helplessness in his heart. The rain fell on him, mixed with his own tears, blurring his vision.

This sudden rainstorm exacerbated the bleak scene of the ruins. Rain seeped through crumbling walls and broken furniture, and shattered porcelain and furnishings were washed into a mess.

The rain soaked his hair and clothes, making him feel cold and shivering. He had nowhere to hide, but to stand in this ruin, and he was full of emotion for a while.

He stood among the rubble, feeling the rain drop on his face, beads of sweat on his forehead mixed with the rain. His demeanor was even more tired and decadent, as if he had been crushed by fate.

This environment deepened his sense of despair. The rain and thunder seemed to mercilessly satirize his miserable situation, making him feel even more helpless and lonely.

Accompanied by lightning and thunder, he deeply realized his own insignificance and weakness of strength. He wants nothing more than peace and tranquility, but is limited by circumstances and cannot escape the reality of pain and hopelessness.

Ye Ning's mood was even heavier and more desperate. The torrential rain exacerbated the bleak scene of the ruins and made him feel the merciless mockery of the impermanence of life.

But in the end, there is still a little bit of expectation that they are still alive, but they have withdrawn. Ye Ning cheered up again with this expectation, and he found a corner on the first floor of this mall that could be hidden, and sat there slumped to feel the atmosphere of despair.

This rain made Ye Ning think even more in the direction of despair. Without a mobile phone, he really can't contact anything in this society, as if he has been abandoned by society, loneliness, helplessness, and hopelessness are even more in his heart.

Suddenly, Ye Ning heard a footstep in the sound of thick raindrops smashing the ground, which seemed to be the footsteps of people.
