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

Adrian clenched his fists as he looked at the monsters. The small Philip tried his best to remain calm.Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out as Nyssa and Eira engaged the approaching monsters. The thousands of monsters split into two groups, one charging toward the truck, and the other heading toward Adrian."Phil!" Adrian turned his head toward the boy whose gaze remained unwavering despite the approaching threat.Phillip looked back at Adrian with determination as the latter instructed, "Phil, you're now a young man capable enough to protect your mother. Do you see that truck over there?"Phillip nodded. "I see it.""Good. Now, I need you to take your mother to that truck. The ladies inside will help you. Remember, stay strong. You're your mother's last hope.""What about you?" Phillip asked.Adrian patted Phillip's shoulder reassuringly. "I'll stay behind to cover for you. Just focus on getting your mother onto the truck. I'll be right behind you. Can you be brave, especiall

Adrian cleared the path, making it difficult for the monsters on both sides to harm Phillip. The boy was now halfway there. Just a little more and he would reach the truck.However, his mother ultimately proved too heavy for him and he fell to the ground. He tried to get up several times, but it was impossible for a fourteen-year-old boy to handle a fifty-kilogram load on his back."L-Leave me, Phil. Just go…" Winry, having regained consciousness, said weakly.Phillip shed tears and cried, "I won't leave you, Mom. I'll get you out of here and get you the treatment you need.""Y-You silly boy. I-I'm only holding you back. Just put me down." Winry did not want to be a hindrance to her son. Her only hope was to see Phillip survive.Women may seem fragile, but they were incredibly strong whenever it came to their children. In this case, Winry was as strong a mother as Samantha.Phillip refused to put his mother down and kept trying to get up. He attempted to do so several times but

The truck's doors were open, and Nyssa helped the mother and son inside. From a distance, Adrian saw the boy and his mother getting onto the truck safely and yelled, "Get out of here and head to a safe place up ahead!" "Hold on tight, everyone!” Ivy said as she crawled through the truck window and started the roaring engine.The truck bumped into a few monsters as it sped down the road. Countless monsters chased after it, but they could not match the truck's speed. Ivy skillfully drove the truck out of the encirclement of monsters. Meanwhile, the number of monsters in the rest area continued to grow, and Adrian was surrounded. However, the women had no other choice but to focus on escaping.Twenty minutes later, the truck had driven a considerable distance. Ivy finally stopped when she saw no more monsters around the area. Sighing in relief, she said, "We should be safe for now.” She then instructed, “Eira, you've studied medicine. I need you to treat the boy's mother while Nyssa
