Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Origin Territory.

After a whole day of exchanges, the long queues did not get better and had become increasingly intense.

Those who were still calm the previous day could no longer endure it and joined the queues after seeing such a huge commotion.

The small camp was surrounded by people just after the curfew at six in the morning.

Unlike the day before, many people no longer came empty-handed.

!!

Some held s.h.i.+ning, sharpened weeders and shovels, sharp knives that undisguisedly hung on their waists, rusty kitchen knifes placed in their baskets, spears that were smoothed out from wooden branches, large bows

Plenty of commoners brought their own housekeeping weapons as they queued up in the city.

Although they suppressed their anger and had not stirred up trouble or attacked the exchange to loot the supplies, it was not long before the shops around the exchange would become the small targets before the bigger target in the current chaotic situation.

Captain Du, do you think there will be a fight tonight?

Didnt the higher-ups request us to maintain the curfew? How are we going to maintain it? These people might stab us before we even say anything.

Near the east gate, a soldier quietly got close to Du s.h.i.+ and pointed toward the crowds.

Feng Long and the other soldiers had bribed and coerced their way into Origin Territory. They became long-time residents of the camp, also acquiring the status of Level 2 residents of the Main Peak.

Although there were a few extras at the East Gate today, most of the guards had already been replaced and were controlled by Du s.h.i.+s team.

At the other west gate, they had slightly less control over it but also had half of the guards replaced with their soldiers.

What the f*ck are we going to maintain? In the current situation, itll be a miracle that they dont break out fighting each other. How are we possibly going to maintain it?

Du s.h.i.+ waved his hand and leaned in the corner with a straw in his mouth, without much care about his image.

In fact, he also sensed that something was strange.

After the previous contact, the head of the city guards department was definitely not a fool despite his greed and timid personality.

It was impossible for him to recklessly order the guards to forcibly maintain order and sacrifice in vain with such a chaotic scene at hand.

He mustve received information but didnt tell us!

Du s.h.i.+ spat out the straw in his mouth and glanced in the direction of the guard department. The hands in his trousers pockets began to feel slightly itchy.

After he caught the news about stealing and selling supplies, the other party could only wait to be slaughtered by others.

Du s.h.i.+ was confident he would have completely taken control of the two gates within a week if not for the disaster being a few days away.

Hey, Captain Du. Did you hear that?

Seeing Du s.h.i.+ lost in thought, the soldier that came to chat was about to leave, but he stopped after only taking two steps.

What was that sound?

Du s.h.i.+ glanced at the soldier suspiciously and wanted to speak, but there was a faint rumbling sound.

It was a very vague sound and difficult to detect under the commotion of the crowd in the city.

However, the sound was very clear when outside of the city gates.

This is

The familiar earth tremors seemed to evoke a familiar sound in Du Shus memory.

However, before he could identify the sound, a black shadow pa.s.sed through the sky with a long piercing howl and landed abruptly in the camps center under their gazes.

Boom!

It felt as if the G.o.d of thunder was furious or heavens punishment had fallen onto them.

The ground trembled violently, making it hard for the people to balance themselves.

Their eardrums vibrated, and the overwhelming sound made them dizzy.

There were no other warnings before the terrifying shock spread from the impact in seconds.

The cras.h.i.+ng rumbles of the collapsing buildings signified the moment of death of many.

F*ck! Were under enemy attack!

Outside the periphery of the territory, Du s.h.i.+ fell to the ground and quickly turned his head toward the sound.

He was furious, and his eyes turned bloodshot as he watched the scene before him.

A cannonball that came from nowhere completely annihilated the previously lively crowds, turning it into a purgatory of pain and groans.

The arguing villagers seconds ago were turned into ashes and died under the ruthless and sudden attack of humans.

These ordinary people of a civilized era were supposed to be living a plain and peaceful life.

Today, they did not die from natural disasters nor at the hands of foreign races, but by the hands of their own kind.

Monsters!

These monsters!!!

Watching the scene in the city for a few seconds, Du s.h.i.+ crawled up from the ground like a madman. He pulled out his pistol and roared.

As a human, he could not understand why these ordinary people that just wanted to survive were subjected to such an unfortunate fate.

As an ordinary person who was trying to survive in the wasteland, he could not understand what kind of ruthless person would give such an order.

However, the purgatory scene in front of him proved that this was just the beginning.

Before Du s.h.i.+s voice echoed throughout the area, the rumbling sounds that were almost inaudible before got closer and louder.

He turned around.

Together with Du s.h.i.+, a dozen soldiers were frozen in place like statues.

At the end of their field of vision, there was an inhuman army

Approaching them!
