Chapter 939: Before Marton City

Chapter 906: Before Marton City (Part One)

The night got darker as time passed by.

When it was midnight, the survivors who had been training diligently entered their simple and crude tents to rest.

Since they still had to travel the next day, they had to replenish their stamina for tomorrow after a day of rigorous training.

Team Leader Anna and Team Leader Edward who were patrolling the area seemed to have encountered a difficulty. After chatting amongst themselves, Anna hesitated a little and walked over to Fei. She said respectfully, “Honorable and generous Majesty of Chambord…”

Fei waved his hand and said with a smile, “Just talk to me directly; you don’t need to add so many praising words. I’m only the king to Chambordians, and we are friends. You don’t need to speak like that with friends.”

“Yes, Your Majesty… Eh, no… I’m here to report to you. If we continue with this speed tomorrow, we will reach the territory of Marton City by the evening, and we might be attacked by the defense force of the Anji Empire. Should we change the path and avoid this city?”

“Marton City?” Fei slightly squinted his eyes.

Chambord already had all the information on the important towns in the former Alania Empire.

Marton City was a city in the northern region of the former Alania Empire, and it was the closest to the border forest. It was a prosperous city for the trade on the border, and it had a population of about 100,000 people. After the Anjians invaded, they occupied the city and stationed one full legion of soldiers here, and it was well-guarded.

However, no one knew what was happening now inside Marton City after the appearance of the evil energy of Hell. Typically speaking, a catastrophe like the ‘zombie apocalypse’ would be more severe in places with denser populations. Perhaps, Marton City was now already a paradise for undead creatures.

[Black Pearl] was now hovering about 10,000 meters above the campsite. Since it was high in the sky, and the semi-godly runes helped it achieve invisibility, ordinary people couldn’t see it.

In fact, [Black Pearl] had been following the team and Fei for the last while.

On the other hand, [Cyclops] was ordered to move forward first to detect the situation. Fei was sure that in a little while, he would receive information about Marton City.

Without hesitation, Fei made the decision, and he said, “We don’t need to bypass it. We can take this opportunity to go and check out the city. Perhaps the evil energy hasn’t reached Marton City yet. The tall city walls might be able to help the residents of the city to block out the zombies and the mutated demon beasts.”

“Ok, we will go and prepare for it.”

Anna and Edward treated Fei’s words as unquestionable commands, and they went to prepare without hesitation.

In reality, Anna and Edward also wanted to go and check out Marton City. It was one of the big cities of the Alania Empire. Although Anjians had occupied it, there were still a ton of Alanians in there. They hoped that their peers inside the city were protected by the city walls and survived until now.

Nothing else happened that night.

On the second day, many Alanian survivors woke up before sunrise, and they started to practice and train. When the sun rose above the horizon, the team packed up and slowly moved forward.

They encountered more and more zombies and mutated demon beasts. It was fortunate for the Alanian survivors that Fei and the warriors of Chambord such as Torres were with them, and these people easily took care of these monsters. Otherwise, although people like Anna and Edward experienced increases in their strengths, they couldn’t save everyone and might be killed by the monsters themselves.

Until now, Fei hadn’t seen any evolution or advancement in the zombies.

Seeing these Chambordians killing zombies like cutting vegetables, the Alanian survivors all looked envious. If the Alania Empire had such mighty warriors, it wouldn’t have been conquered by Anji in less than a month.

Especially the King of Chambord; his power was on another level. No one saw him making any moves, but the zombies and powerful mutated demon beasts were all scorched and turned into coal when they got within 1,000 meters of him.

While the team continued traveling south, they met many other survivors.

By sunset, the team already had more than 100 people. Still, half of the team members were female, and there were more than ten kids. Although the number of people in the team increased, the combat strength of the team decreased. Anna and Edward had to organize everyone and assign several young men with the duty of helping seniors and children.

When the sky got dark, this team of survivors finally reached Marton City.

Standing on a tall hill, they could see the giant city that was built beside a river. The dark-red city walls made it look like a giant beast that was squatting on the green plain, and the flags of the Anji Empire fluttered in the wind. Many zombies had surrounded the city like the seawater around an island, and they screamed and slammed their hands on the city walls, trying to break through. However, the city walls that were more than 20 meters tall were something that the zombies couldn’t overcome.

“This scene… looks like one from Resident Evil.”

Fei felt like everything was becoming more and more similar to the movie, Resident Evil. He wondered if there were also a mysterious ‘Umbrella Corporation’ behind this catastrophe, controlling everything.

“Move forward and keep up the guard.”

Since the team was prepared to enter Marton City, they had to do it before the sky turned pitch-black. Although there were many zombies, they were all at the lowest level, and they were nothing in Fei’s eyes. Even though he had to protect more than 100 weak people, it wasn’t challenging for the king.

The group of people moved forward slowly.

When they were about 2,000 meters away from Marton City, the zombies that had surrounded the city sensed something, and a fraction of them turned around and dashed toward the group while screaming viciously as if they were demons that saw the most delicious meat.

“Guys, don’t panic! Gather together but don’t get too crowded!”

Anna shouted and tried to maintain order. Facing so many zombies, even she was a little anxious, let alone the ordinary survivors. Therefore, the team got a little messy.

In a flash, the herds of zombies rushed over and engulfed this small team of survivors.

…

-Further away on the northern defense wall of Marton City-

“Huh? There is more activity outside the city? Haha! Quick! Come over and have a look! The show is starting! Hehehe, how many Alanian pigs are going to feed themselves to the zombies this time?”

A soldier of Anji who was napping while leaning against a battlement heard the noises outside the city, and he turned around and looked down while calling out to his peers. Excitement couldn’t be hidden from his face, and it looked like he discovered something funny.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. There are quite a few of them. Now that I think about it, a little more than 1,000 Alanian pigs have tried to get into the city, but they were all eaten by the zombies outside the city, right?” another soldier laughed with a gloating expression, and it looked like he was watching a show.

“More! Including the Alanian pigs who were thrown out of the city, there are at least 3,000 to 4,000 people. Hehe, guarding this city is quite boring. Although we don’t need to worry about these evil creatures rushing in, we can only get some entertainment through this every day.”

“Hahaha! Old rules! Let’s bet and see how long these Alanian pigs can last!”

“I bet one gold coin! Less than ten minutes!”

“Hahaha! There seems to be more pigs this time. I bet three gold coins! More than ten minutes!”

“I bet three gold coins…”

“Hahaha! Dirty pigs! Use your low lives and sweet blood to entertain your Anjian granddaddies! Hahaha!”
