The people in the car gradually woke up, their eyes first confused and hollow, as if their souls were still trapped in the horror they had just witnessed.
It was a long time before they began to recover, gasping for air in deep, ragged breaths, their bodies still shaking uncontrollably.
Xiong Jie watched everyone slowly regain consciousness, took a deep breath, and solemnly told them, "The passage is open. The Evil Spirit Lord has already entered this world."
Someone asked, their voice trembling, "All of them?"
Xiong Jie nodded with a grave expression and replied, "All of them."
The car instantly fell into a deathlike silence, fear and despair written across every face.
"Wh-what are we supposed to do now? Isn't this the end of the world?" someone cried, their voice choking with tears.
"Yeah, where can we even hide?" another added in panic.
