Chapter 1687
Everything was happening too quickly. The monsters Adrian had lured away were now turning their attention toward Ivy and the others.Meanwhile, the trapped woman screamed, "Help me! Please, help me!" Desperation filled her voice.The hope of survival drove the woman to near madness, and she screamed at the top of her lungs. Her cries attracted the attention of a few monsters on the bottom floor, and several of them began heading upstairs. Ivy and her group could not afford to divert their attention despite the woman's pleas. There was no time for hesitation, and Ivy's sole focus was to get Samantha and the others to the workshop. Not encountering any obstacles along the way, the women reached the workshop that Adrian had mentioned within a few minutes. Seeing this, Adrian stopped trying to lure the monsters out and headed back into the building.Crash! Boom! Thud!Upon summoning Dragonbane, Adrian launched a flurry of strikes that sent a series of monsters flying. He plowed t

Feeling the pressure from the pursuing monsters, Adrian quickly led the woman into the workshop. He had entered the secret passage before and was thus familiar with the route, managing to reach it with ease. The entrance of the passage had been blown wide open and the smell of explosives hung in the air. It was clear that Ivy and the others had blasted the door to get in."Get in!" Adrian urged the woman as they reached the entrance.The woman, gasping for air, hurriedly squeezed into the entrance.Meanwhile, more monsters closed in on them. Without wasting any time, Adrian took out a bomb he had prepared beforehand and placed it at the entrance. He then dove into the passage. When he felt they were far enough, he clicked the detonator.Boom!The entrance to the secret passage was blown up once more, causing the debris to fall and seal off the entrance completely. The force of the blast was so intense that it knocked Adrian and the woman several meters forward."Are you okay?" Ad

Jane was surprised at Adrian’s words, even excited. "How do you know about Jared? Are you from Wyvern Peak too? I'm sorry. I haven't even asked you your name."Adrian chuckled and replied, "It's Adrian."“Oh," Jane answered.Adrian smiled. After some hesitation, Jane asked, "Do you think we’ll survive this, Adrian? The world has changed so much, and we might die at any turn.”Everyone now lived in despair, unable to see any hope for the future. Jane was a lot luckier than most people because she had met Adrian.Reassuringly, Adrian said, "This passage will lead us out of Swallowston. Once we're outside, we’ll head to Novemton. Novemton is currently heavily defended with walls and soldiers from Wyvern Peak. There are many fellow survivors there. Who knows. We might find your brother there too."Jane never imagined she would see her brother again. After all, she did not know how much longer she would survive. "I hope Jared’s alive and that the world will return to normal soon."
Chapter 1690
Ivy checked several trucks but found none of them usable. She then approached a cargo truck and inspected it for any external damage before getting into the driver's seat. To her surprise, the keys were still in the ignition, and the car’s headlights came on when Ivy turned it. However, the truck’s gas tank was empty."Nyssa, check if there's any fuel nearby," Ivy called out to Nyssa."Found some. There are several barrels of fuel here," Nyssa shouted back.Ivy was overjoyed when she heard Nyssa's report. One of the rooms was filled with barrels containing gasoline and diesel. Ivy quickly instructed, “Fuel up that cargo truck and load up all the barrels you can find. We've secured ourselves a vehicle. Load up all the weapons too. They'll come in handy when we head to Novemton.""Sounds good.”The three women divided their tasks accordingly—Ivy inspected the truck, Nyssa loaded the weapons, and Eira loaded the fuel barrels. Gloria joined Nyssa to help with the weapons. Once the tru

Ivy drove the truck down the main road of the passage. They arrived at the exit approximately twenty minutes later. It was sealed by a massive iron gate, blocking their way out of Swallowston. This was the very gate that prevented the monsters from entering.The vehicle stopped at a safe distance from the gate, and Adrian got off the top of the truck. He then gestured to Ivy and said, "I'll blast the gate open. Once that's done, I want you to charge out without stopping for anything. We're going to be faced with a lot of monsters after the gate. Don't worry, I'll catch up." Ivy nodded, showing complete trust in Adrian's plan.***Kaboom!The heavy iron gate exploded as a powerful blast shattered it, leaving a gaping hole. Adrian had calculated the explosives he needed to ensure that the gate was instantly blown open."Go!"Monsters were already pouring in through the hole created by the explosion. The truck's engine roared as Ivy accelerated, driving out of the exit. The mons

Ivy brought the truck to a stop, her attention drawn to the gold-furred dog. It trembled as it hid in the bushes."Eira, go get the dog," Ivy instructed after making sure the area was safe.Eira got down and approached the dog. Sensing human presence, the dog was both scared and eager for contact. She crouched before the dog and extended her hand. "You must be so scared. It's okay, I'm not a bad person. You're not safe here, so you need to come with me.”Seeming to understand Eira, the dog came out from the bushes. Eira gently patted its head and lifted up the large dog, who responded by licking her face in gratitude, expressing its loyalty.Eira chuckled and cradled the dog as she climbed back into the truck. After that, Ivy resumed driving."So what's the plan, Adrian? We should reach Novemton tomorrow if it all goes well, but I think we're running low on food," Ivy asked."There are two rest stops about twenty kilometers ahead. They're far away from civilization, so there shou

The rest area, being in a remote location, did not house a large number of monsters. Therefore, Adrian did not attract too much attention from the nearby straggling monsters. Some wandering creatures began to approach after hearing the commotion, but Adrian quickly dispatched them using Dragonbane. He was not an immortal yet, but Dragonbane was more than sufficient to deal with those monstersIn less than ten minutes, Adrian had eliminated the monsters around the area and headed into the mart. He was pleased to find that there were still some supplies on the shelves. While the store had suffered some damage, a significant portion of the supplies remained intact, including many food items.Adrian smiled at the sight, happy that his group had enough supplies to travel to Novemton. He pulled out a bag he had brought from the truck and began to fill it with the supplies. Since he could not take everything, he focused on collecting food and water, along with a few other useful items.A

Phillip said, "I am, but my mother's hungry. I can't live without her.""How did you evade all the monsters?""I come here at night when they can't see me."Phillip's determination moved Adrian. He was at an age where he should be pampered by his mother, yet he was protecting her instead.Taking a deep breath, Adrian said, "Take me to your mother. I’ll get both of you out of this place. I've got several others with me in a truck. We have medical supplies, so we can treat your mother.”Phillip nodded in agreement and held Adrian's hand as they hurried to the gas station.Right at that moment, the truck in the distance honked repeatedly, signaling to Adrian there was a large number of monsters approaching. Ignoring the warning, Adrian and Phillip entered the gas station, where they found the young boy's mother.The woman in her early thirties was curled up inside a container. Her legs were torn open, exposing the bones underneath and the wounds crusted with dried blood. The horrif
