Climbers were small-sized monsters, making them difficult to fight against. It was unnoticeable if one was not paying attention. To make matters worse, they carried a deadly toxin that could kill anyone once they bit. If Novemton was already having a hard time thinking of a strategy to fight against these creatures, what more of other cities?According to Adrian's instructions, everyone in Novemton began to revamp the city and prepare themselves for future battles. Meanwhile, the survivors from other cities were either on the run or fighting against the monsters. Nobody knew what was going to happen to the world. ***The sound of a baby’s cries could be heard coming from a mini supermarket in Swallowston. Samantha quickly stopped whatever she was doing and picked Nova up from the mattress to comfort her."Please don't cry, baby." Samantha was quite anxious, afraid that Nova's crying would attract the monsters nearby. All of Swallowston had delved into chaos. The monsters ran r
She missed Adrian terribly, to the point of madness even. Gloria smiled. "Don't worry. Adrian wouldn’t abandon us. Maybe he's figuring out how to rescue us right now. He'll find a way to locate us. Maybe he already established a wireless connection and is waiting for us to contact him.""I hope—"Bam! A sudden, violent pounding on the doors of the entrance interrupted Samantha mid-sentence. The doorframe shook, nearing the brink of collapse, startling Samantha and Gloria.Gloria placed her finger on her lips, and Samantha covered Nova's mouth."Nova's crying must have attracted the monsters.”Bam! Bam! Bam! More banging was heard.A menacing-looking monster over three meters tall stood outside the entrance. It had a massive body and wielded a large hammer, which it rammed against the doors. With each hit, Nova became more frightened and her cries grew louder."Nova, please stop crying! Please, I beg you!" Samantha pleaded in panic.However, Nova was too young to understan
"What do we do?!”Chaos descended over the supermarket as the monsters stormed in. Samantha clutched onto Nova, panicking and losing her ability to make rational decisions. Gloria, too, showed unprecedented panic at this moment. For a moment, the two women did not know what to do. They could neither escape nor fight the monsters.Just as things were on the brink of disaster, one of the windows to the supermarket shattered. Nyssa, fully armed, leaped through the window, as the sounds of an explosion came from outside. Ivy and Eira had attracted the monsters' attention and were firing at them from outside."Move it!" Nyssa shouted at Samantha and Gloria as she rushed into the supermarket, slashing down a monster.Nyssa covered them as Samantha, holding onto Nova, and Gloria ran toward the window. They climbed out the window and fled the supermarket."Let's go, girls!" Nyssa shouted to Ivy and Eira after Samantha and Gloria had gotten out."Okay!" Ivy and Eira quickly retreated upon
Nyssa's clothes were soaked with blood. She was bleeding profusely from an injury on her neck. She had been hit by shrapnel during the explosion. She covered her wound with one hand, wincing in pain. "I'm okay, it's nothing. Are you and Nova okay, Sam?"Samantha shook her head, feeling helpless. If Nyssa and the others had not protected her over the past few days, Samantha and Nova would undoubtedly have been long dead in some corner.She replied, "I don't know what to say… Nova and I would be long dead if not for your help, girls."Eira smiled and began to bandage Nyssa's wound. Ivy said, "Don't mention it, Sam. Who else will protect you if not us? We promised that we’d protect you no matter what."Eira added, "We just went to the center of Swallowston. The place is completely overrun by monsters, and there's a battle going on between some groups for resources. Many people have died. Several shelters have also been wiped out. The whole city has fallen. There are hardly any sup
"We got something!" Hearing the voice coming from the communicator, the women broke into smiles of relief. Although the signal was weak and distorted, it was audible.Ivy quickly responded, "Hello, this is Ivy Cox. I'm with Samantha Cowell, wife of the former legate, Sir Draco. We're at the Amber Communal in Swallowston and are in need of help."Hello? Do you copy?"Hello? Hello?"Ivy repeated herself into the communicator but only static came from the other end. The signal was clearly unstable. She anxiously said, "It's no good. The signal is terrible from her. We need to find somewhere that we can get a better signal."Eira replied, "We can't go out. The monsters have surrounded the building.""Damn it!" Nyssa cursed.Ivy slapped the radio receiver, and suddenly, another voice came through the static."Hello, is anyone there? This is..."The communication was still fragmented.Ivy anxiously responded, "Hello, this is Ivy Cox. I'm with Samantha Cowell, wife of the former l
In the former headquarters of the Battle Warrior Department of Drogoton, dozens of people bustled about in the control room. They were tirelessly tuning their wireless signals to try and contact nearby survivors. Remy was the head of this operation.He led five hundred and sixty thousand men who survived the reset to take over Drogoton. After that, he quickly built a wall around the city and helped the survivors settle in. At that moment, Drogoton's defenses had taken shape. Having recently restored communication, Remy immediately instructed his people to continuously send out a wireless broadcast to try and locate more survivors."Ms. Gracia, we got a signal, but there's too much static in the background. We can’t really hear what they're saying," a woman reported.A tall woman walked over. She was Gracia, Gloria's younger sister. She was the department head responsible for communications. She had survived the reset and was saved by Remy's team. She had since assisted him in fortif
"Yes, sir!" All the operators sprang into action, expanding Drogoton's signal. They managed to capture a clear radio signal from Novemton. As Remy walked over, the screen display fluctuated. He was full of anticipation, hoping a response would come through.Zzt, zzt, zzt…The transmitters continued to buzz, but the other side had yet to respond.Meanwhile, the signal tower at Novemton had received an incoming frequency, and the two signals had synchronized. Novemton's recently established communication headquarters was bustling with activity. Communication had just been restored, and there was much work to be done.Adrian had ordered Cian to select individuals knowledgeable in wireless communication from within the city and create a communications department. Matthias was named as head of the department.Matthias led a group of highly skilled individuals as well as young people with prior experience in network communication. They were continuously fine-tuning the network system
“This is fantastic news!" Matthias exclaimed, "We've found ourselves another powerful ally!"Everyone on Matthias' side cheered as he responded, "Sir, my name is Matthias Otto. I'm working for Sir Draco. We're currently stationed in Novemton and have just established our network tower. We're all safe for the moment.""Sir Draco is alive?"Remy's side was also thrilled. Gracia, in particular, looked close to tears. She snatched the communicator from Remy and asked, "Matthias, did you say Adrian's with you? Where is he now? I need you to get him on the line. Swallowston is in trouble!""I'll notify Sir Draco immediately." Matthias became worried upon hearing the urgency in Gracia's voice. He immediately instructed, "Get Sir Draco now."Meanwhile, Adrian was standing atop the wall with Rozi, observing as the flamethrowers were installed on the wall. That was when a call came through his communicator."Sir, we've made contact with Godking Wyrmflare in Drogoton. He just informed us th
