Chapter 1706
After the reset, the soldiers had lost all hope. They have not expected to meet Adrian again at such a challenging moment."What are you doing here, sir?" "We didn't think we'd ever see here.""He's right, sir. We feel so much safer now that you're here."The soldiers surrounded Adrian, each of them expressing their excitement. Adrian jumped down from the truck and joined the crowd of over fifty who were thrilled beyond measure. He smiled at them and said, "My brethren, you've all done an excellent job during this trying time. I know you've all done everything you could."Adrian's words moved everyone to tears. Gunner approached and said, "Sir, I used to serve under Cadel and was visiting home on leave when the disaster struck. I rounded up those here, and we’ve been fighting against the monsters since then. We lost many of our brothers before we managed to retreat to this village and make this place our last stand."Adrian asked, "What's your name?""Gunner Sturgis, sir."

Ten minutes later, all the surviving villagers of Kerning boarded the cargo truck. Adrian divided Gunner and the soldiers into two teams. One team was to be on the rooftop as lookouts while the other guarded from the inside of the vehicle. Ivy and Eira took turns driving, and Adrian allowed Nyssa to rest in the back of the truck. Thanks to the addition of Gunner and his team, Adrian now had the chance to take a brief rest. The truck set off fifteen minutes later, leaving Kerning behind. After taking a detour, they were back on the highway and headed toward Novemton.Adrian had a four-hour nap. When he woke up, he climbed to the roof, where Ivy reported, "We're about four hours away from Novemton. There will likely be many monsters outside the city, so we need to figure out how we're going to get inside."Entering Novemton was going to be challenging. The outside of the city was infested with monsters. Even Climbers had been spotted inside the walls.Adrian attempted to establish a

"Everyone, get to the roof and prepare for battle!" Gunner shouted.The soldiers climbed onto the roof, put their backs against each other, and crouched as they scanned the direction they were guarding. Novemton was just ahead, and with each step closer, they could see more monsters lining the road. These monsters were rushing toward Novemton, and their numbers were growing exponentially.As the truck continued to advance, the surrounding monsters multiplied. They charged toward the truck in a maddened frenzy when they sensed humans nearby."Kill them!" Adrian ordered.Gunshots rang out, and bullets sliced through the air, piercing the monsters.The battle had begun.The monsters, originally heading toward Novemton, were now drawn toward Adrian and his group. Ivy pushed the truck forward and barrelled down the highway like a giant snake. The monsters had a tough time catching up with the truck, but a large number of them were now in pursuit."The monsters at the back can't reach

As Novemton drew closer, the monsters around them multiplied crazily. The numbers outside Novemton were astonishing, exceeding what Adrian had encountered back in Swallowston countless times over.Unlike Swallowston, the monsters outside Novemton were limited to the outer ring as an inner wall had been erected to prevent them from entering. The army of monsters exuded a menacing aura, and their strong, foul stench filled the air. Adrian said, "Stay sharp, everyone.!With bated breath, they continued to face the relentless onslaught of monsters. Gunner and his team had never seen so many monsters, not even during their time in Kerning."They’re closing in!" Ivy called out.The roar of the truck's engine had attracted the attention of many monsters. Some charged toward the truck, and like a chain reaction, more and more followed. Bullets zipped through the air, and Adrian and Gunner stood back to back, facing the approaching monsters. The second squad and their leader looked up a

"Hurry up!" Rozi shouted to the truck.Ivy floored the accelerator, and the truck hurtled toward the city at full speed. The soldiers along the path of light formed a protective shield around the truck as it plowed through the monsters."Ivy, get everyone into the city!" Adrian called out.After conveying his orders, he leaped off the truck and summoned Dragonbane, which then transformed into countless golden streaks of light. He exchanged a glance with Rozi, then leaped into the air and stabbed his sword into the ground. The monsters wailed and were sent flying as Dragonbane touched the earth and set off a series of explosions.Adrian and Rozi stood back-to-back, ready to confront the incoming wave of monsters. Meanwhile, Ivy continued to drive the truck along the path of light. Seeing that the truck had moved farther away, Adrian shouted, "Squad one! Retreat and support squad two!"Upon hearing his orders, the soldiers from the first line swiftly retreated toward the city. Adria
Chapter 1711
Adrian was originally under the impression that Hugh was not very impressive. Crystal was the one who promoted him, but Adrian had never been particularly impressed by Hugh's abilities. However, he refrained from commenting out of respect for Crystal. It was now clear to Adrian that Hugh was underutilizing his talents while being Crystal's subordinate.Half an hour later, Adrian held a meeting at headquarters. Several upper management personnel attended the meeting, and he shared with them what Philip had said about Crutcher. Steel and the others were confused when they heard the story."Sir, are you saying you intend to leave Novemton again to find this Crutcher fellow?" Steel asked.Adrian nodded in confirmation. The information Philip had revealed regarding Crutcher might contain crucial insights into the future. Having no means of dealing with the Creator, Adrian was willing to explore all possibilities, including the ones that had very little success and very high risks.He ex

The others fell silent. There was a possibility they were not handling the matter with the right attitude since they did not share Adrian's foresight.Meanwhile, Rozi entered the meeting room and said, "I'm inclined to agree with Adrian. There's a saying that God leaves a window open whenever he closes a door. Nobody in this world is perfect, not even the Creator AKA the Destroyer.”All eyes turned toward her. Having spent time with modern people, Rozi had assimilated to the new environment and learned some popular phrasesHelen said, "Are you saying that you support Sir Draco's decision? If so, you'd need convincing reasons because it still seems too risky to us.""She's right, Grandma. None of us knows for sure whether the person the child mentioned actually exists."Everyone began expressing their opinions.They called Rozi "Grandma" as a playful joke because many were aware that Rozi originated from twelve centuries ago.She stepped forward and, naturally, had her reasons fo

They began to recap the entire situation.Why would the Destroyer want to reset the world? The answer was to eliminate all surviving humans, and he must have had his reasons for wanting to do so. Given the limit of his abilities, he was unable to eliminate them all in one fell swoop. He could only wipe out half of the population, proving that resetting the world inflicted a lot of damage on him. It was either that or he would be spending too much of his powers and leave himself in a weakened, vulnerable state. Because of this, he sent out monsters to deal with the remaining survivors. However, this raised a question—why had he chosen to erase the survivors' memories instead of letting his monsters finish the job if his aim was to eliminate all life on Earth? With the massive number and abilities of these monsters, combined with the aftermath of the reset, where everything was shrouded in darkness and no plants could grow, humans had only two choices. They ended up being killed by
