Mo Fan noticed a benefit while following Shen Qing around. They no longer had to worry about having no place to stand, nor did they need to worry if the water was going to flood the path behind them. The zip lines her Ice Magic were producing could easily establish bridges from one building to another!

They were currently standing on the roof of a school. Shen Qing fired a Glacier Zipline far away and nailed it to an administrative building accurately. It was a very efficient way to evacuate the civilians. If Mo Fan used Blink to move the people to safety, his energy would be depleted in just a few rounds!

“Did you know Spiderman was released recently? Should we go to the movies after we’re done here?” Mo Fan asked Shen Qing while walking on the ice zip lines.

“The two white buildings across the street are the shopping center we are going to,” Shen Qing said, pointing ahead as if she had not heard Mo Fan’s teasing.

The emergency shelter was around a street away from the sadomasochism… the SM City Xiamen. It was not too far away. Mo Fan followed the direction Shen Qing was pointing to and saw two large white buildings. One was like a cube, occupying half the street. Its surroundings were relatively spacious, without any tall buildings.

The water had reached above the first floor. To their relief, even though the building only had five floors, each floor was widely spaced, so it should have plenty of space available.

Mo Fan also had a feeling that the building was solid and firm. It was not a bad option for a temporary shelter. The civilians in the area must have taken shelter inside it.

Opposite the white cube-like building was another smaller cylinder-shaped building. The two shopping lots were connected by a bridge, which was a lot higher than normal overhead bridges for pedestrians. It was a safe path to move on.

“My Heavens, what are those!?” Liu Xi suddenly screamed in fear, pointing at the cylinder-shaped building.

The rain was still pouring down heavily. The two shopping lots were extremely blurred. Mo Fan and Shen Qing were unable to see anything else around the shopping lots.

“It’s close to Xiamen Phase One, many things are crawling into the shopping lot. They are black with insane numbers!” Liu Xi added.

“Isn’t it just dirty water?” Mo Fan asked.

“No, they are wriggling, like huge earthworms!” Liu Xi said.

“Let’s head over now!” Shen Qing did not dare waste any time thinking about it when she felt something was not right. She immediately created a path straight to the square-shaped shopping lot with her Glacier Zipline.

Mo Fan had no idea what Liu Xi had spotted, nor did he know why the teenager was acting so afraid. However, he immediately felt his scalp turning numb when he and Shen Qing were above the shopping lot!

Mo Fan considered himself a rather experienced Mage, yet he had never seen something that he could only describe as that disgusting until now.

Liu Xi did not describe the creatures accurately. Instead of describing the creatures as earthworms, they were more like leeches, a black bloodsucking and soft-bodied creature that looked somewhat like a cocoon. They were usually found in fields, ponds, and lakes. They would attach themselves onto an animal’s skin to drink their blood!

It was rare to see these creatures in the ocean, but the leeches before them were surprisingly big, around half a meter to a meter long. They moved rather quickly, too. They could curl up their bodies and hop over six meters, allowing them to pounce on their targets!

The leeches in fields would usually attach themselves to the blind spots of buffaloes. The buffaloes would not be able to see or reach the cunning leeches. However, these leeches who came from the ocean were obviously capable of hunting down their prey on their own!

Mo Fan and Shen Qing reached the first floor. The floor was fully submerged. Many demon leeches were crawling along the walls and stairs toward the second floor where many civilians were. Screams were filling the shopping lot when they arrived. A few dozen demon leeches had pounced on a few people in the corridors. Their bodies were throbbing continuously as they were sucking a huge amount of blood from the victims!

The creatures could easily turn their bodies into suction pads as required. The teeth along their abdomens could tightly grab onto a human’s skin, making it difficult to separate them from their victims. Therefore, anyone who had fallen victim to the demon leeches had no chance of breaking free until their blood was sucked dry.

The people were fleeing to the third floor in a panic. The demon leeches were totally unrestrained. They would curl their bodies as they launched their attacks. Some could even hop up to ten meters away. Ordinary people would struggle to dodge their attacks!

“These filthy creatures!” Shen Qing was enraged by the sight. She punctured the demon leeches who were assaulting the civilians with the Glacier Zipline!

The strange thing was, these soft-bodied creatures did not die even when their bodies were punctured. Their blood would pour out from the hole into a pool, yet they would soon reabsorb the blood and start wriggling like nothing had even happened.

“Lingling, what the hell are these things?” Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

“I have never seen anything like them before. Let’s move the civilians to the third floor for now,” Lingling advised him.

There were great numbers of the demon leeches. A lot of them were scattered in Mo Fan’s blind spots, as they could climb wherever they pleased. They were on the walls, ceilings, cracks, stairs, and ventilation ducts…

Mo Fan used his Telekinesis to toss the civilians who had lost their way to the third floor. The shopping lot was a little too big, around three hundred meters from one end to the other. Mo Fan could not afford to use his destructive spells, since that might raze the whole building to the ground!

Mo fan saving civilians was like a huge bloke trying to do needlework. He could not afford to use his brute strength. Things like chopping firewood and killing boars were more suitable for him.

“Telekinesis, Knock Back!”

Mo Fan was constantly monitoring his surroundings. He immediately locked his will onto the demon leeches when they were about to pounce on the civilians.

The demon leeches were not very powerful, yet they were not easy to deal with either. Normally, Mo Fan’s Telekinesis would smash a creature of their level into pieces, yet because of their yielding nature, he felt like he was hitting a rubber ball instead. The force would only alter the creatures’ shape instead of smashing them to pieces!
