End Times, Surviving with My Beastly Army
Chapter 241 The Girl Outside
Robin was a little surprised.
Monica seemed impulsive on the surface, but she was actually extremely calm.
After the apocalypse began, she hadn’t rushed out to look for her parents right away. Instead, she had quickly analyzed the situation and made the most appropriate decision.
That kind of thinking was very mature. It seemed Robin had judged her correctly.
Robin suddenly grew interested. She stood still and closed her eyes. “Attack me now.”
“Huh?”
Monica froze.
Robin said, “Let me see where your strength is at now. Don’t hold back. Use everything you’ve got.”
“But your eyes are closed…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Robin said.
She wasn’t joking. Monica paused for two seconds, then took a deep breath. Her expression instantly became calm.
At that moment, it was like she had become a completely different person.
At the same time, Robin suddenly felt the surroundings grow extremely quiet.
All sound seemed to fade away like a receding tide. In that kind of silence, a person would feel especially uneasy. The lack of sound amplified her own heartbeat.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Each beat echoed in her ears.
Robin felt a hint of surprise. She hadn’t expected Monica’s ability to reach this level already. Her improvement was indeed significant.
A strand of hair by her cheek shifted slightly. At the same time, a strong scent of blood approached.
Robin reacted instantly. She tilted her head back slightly and avoided the first attack.
How was that even possible…?
FIND
Monica suppressed her shock. Robin had her
eyes closed. She couldn’t see anything.
And with her ability activated, she shouldn’t have been able to hear anything either.
Yet Robin still managed to perfectly dodge her attack…
But instead of discouraging her, it only fueled her competitive spirit.

Finished
Monica steadied herself, stopped overthinking, and threw her entire focus into the fight.
In the next moment, Robin’s closed eyes tightened slightly.
She lowered her body, using her waist as the pivot to drive her upper body, and swung her arm out in a curved strike.
Thud!
A dull sound rang out from the impact. Monica let out a muffled groan. Robin’s strike had landed directly on the wound on her arm.
The triangular bayonet slipped from her hand and hit the ground with a clatter.
Robin opened her eyes, clear approval showing in them. “Very good. Your improvement really is impressive.”
Monica gave a bitter smile, picked up her weapon from the ground, and said quietly, “Compared to you, I’m still far behind.”
Before, she had only watched Robin fight others. She knew Robin was strong, but she didn’t have a clear understanding of just how strong.
Now that they had actually fought, Monica finally realized that the gap between them was like an unbridgeable chasm.
“It’s only been a little over a month. You’ve already improved a lot,” Robin said.
Monica bit her lip, then couldn’t help but ask, “Robin, I don’t understand. You clearly had your eyes closed, and I had my ability activated. You shouldn’t have been able to see or hear anything. So how did you know where my attacks were coming from every time?”
In Monica’s understanding, sight was one of the most important human senses.
Hearing came second.
Both helped people perceive the world around them. But in that fight, Robin had shut down both.
And even then, Monica still couldn’t land a hit.
Robin said calmly, “Sight and hearing are important, but all five senses have their own roles. Even if I couldn’t see or hear, closing my eyes actually helped me feel changes in airflow more clearly. And since you just came back, you carried a strong smell of blood. As long as you got close, I could smell it. It was never about relying only on sight or hearing. None of the senses/are absolutely required on their own. This fight was meant to show you that if you want to be a qualified assassin, you can’t focus only on hearing. The movement of air, the heat coming off a body, all of that can give away your position. Your control over your ability is already very refined, but you need to develop in other areas too. Don’t neglect the rest of your training.”
Monica fell into thought.
“Can you go to sleep now?” Robin asked with a
