Chapter 77: Those Who Covet the City Building Token Must Die!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A basement in the suburbs near Dragon City.
A man draped in a black robe and shrouded in shadows was using a brush to smear something on the ground. The scarlet color was weaved into a huge circular formation. It smelt fishy and felt very weird.
As the man painted on the ground, he muttered a string of words that were obscure and inexplicable sounding. They made no sense to human beings at all.
It was terrifying, as if it could corrupt the soul!
Not far from him was a still-warm corpse. The corpse’s eyes were wide open; deep fear lingered in those empty eyes.
The bright-red paint on the black-robed man’s brush was the fresh blood gurgling out of this corpse...
Footsteps were heard.
A man with a fearful face stood at the entrance to the basement. He spoke with his head bowed, his voice trembling as he did so. “Leader... Doctor is rushing us again. He says that the preparations on our side need to be accelerated. Doctor said that there are four more days until the Undead Tide and that we must make sure that the Supreme Lord is summoned from the Void at that time...”
The black-robed man’s hand suddenly shook.
At the same time, the young man—who came to pass on the message—also shivered.
The black-robed man raised his head and slowly pulled back his hood, revealing a pale and sickly-looking face. He was originally a handsome man, but the suture scar coming down from his left eye made his head look as if it were split in two. Furthermore, his face was covered with runes painted on with unknown colorants, making him look like some kind of Frankenstein.
Chuckle.
The black-robed man let out a spine-chilling cackle. “Doctor Ghost is really impatient.”
This was none other than the Black Dragon Gang’s leader, whom Doctor Ghost called Black Dragon.
But the smile on Black Dragon’s face soon faded. His eyes were wide, and his serious face was dripping with madness. “He’s teaching me how to do my job?”
Before the words ended, a slippery and sticky tentacle—dripping an unknown liquid—suddenly appeared in the void!
The menacing tentacles instantly bound the man who had come to deliver the message.
The messenger was not a weak man. He had a majestic aura, and he was a powerful Stage Two, Level 6 warrior! But he was unable to offer even the slightest resistance once he was bound by the tentacles!
Only screams of terror echoed in the basement.
The tentacles soon disappeared.
There was an additional puddle of twisted-up body parts on the ground.
Black Dragon dipped the brush in the blood gushing out of the corpse’s mouth and continued to paint. He was close to completing his masterpiece.
...
The seventh day of the apocalypse.
Dawn.
Mingshi Hospital.
Link—who was meditating—slowly opened his eyes. In those deep eyes, light flashed like the shadow of a sword! Restoring his energy through meditation was Link’s habit.
This type of rest was more efficient than the usual sleep.
Footsteps were heard.
The six-winged angel Yuna and Star Moon had both returned.
Yuna got down on one knee, while Star Moon turned into a puppy—which laughed and rubbed itself on Link’s trouser leg.
“Master, there are nearly 1,000 unknown people approaching us. The preliminary estimate is that there are at least three forces.”
“Hmm.” Link nodded expressionlessly. A bitingly-cold look flashed in his eyes.
He lifted the [King’s Sword]—which was lying across his lap—and strode outside.
Outside Mingshi Hospital.
The people building the city stopped whatever they were doing and intently stared at the uninvited guests in front of them.
A dense crowd of people surrounded the place like a surging tide! Each of them was a Doomsday survivor or Evolver in [Doomsday Online]. They all followed behind their respective leaders; their expressions were fierce and filled with murderous intent!
World Society’s President, Thunder Palace’s Lord, and Monopoly’s Gang Leader—Feng Haotian, Zhu Tianyang, and Zhang Rongjiu—were at the front.
The three men faced each other, and the atmosphere was tense!
The leader of Monopoly was a middle-aged man with a big belly named Zhang Rongjiu! At this moment, he was embracing a ravishing-looking woman with a sneer on his face! Before the apocalypse, he was a wealthy businessman and had invested in many laboratories that researched cutting-edge technologies.
The coming of Doomsday benefited him greatly.
The technology produced by the laboratories allowed him to stand firm at the beginning of Doomsday.
Today, his aura was extremely terrifying. He had also reached Stage Four, Level 5! It was shocking that he was able to reach such a level on the seventh day of Doomsday!
World Society’s Feng Haotian was even more terrifying. He had reached Stage Four, Level 7!
Thunder Palace’s Lord, Zhu Tianyang, was also a terrifying Stage Four, Level 3 existence!
These three together emanated an aura so terrifying it was enough to scare heaven and earth!
At this time, most people were still only Stage One or Stage Two. Even Stage Three fighters were extremely rare.
Exceptionally strong people who had reached Stage Four were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. They were the most powerful of the human race! They were strong enough to dominate a region and lord over everyone!
“There are too many monks and too little meat1.” Zhang Rongjiu, Monopoly’s leader, sighed as if something were troubling him.
“Humph! World Society will definitely get the City Building Token. The two of you might as well retreat, lest you lose your life!” said Feng Haotian of World Society coldly and arrogantly.
Thunder Palace’s lord, Zhu Tianyang, just twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled.
None of the three cared if the City Building Token’s owner had an opinion! Or rather, they simply didn’t care! In their opinion, the City Building Token—which could cement their troops standing in Doomsday—was already as good as theirs!
At this time, Link happened to walk out of Mingshi Hospital slowly. His face was expressionless as he held the [King’s Sword]. The sword emitted a domineering intent and was enshrouded by golden light!
The six-winged Holy Angel Yuna, Star Moon, and Yang Xuerou followed closely behind him.
Monopoly’s Gang Leader—Zhang Rongjiu’s eyes immediately lit up. “That sword is not bad either! It’s at least a Diamond-grade or stronger weapon!”
He had barely finished speaking when his gaze fell upon Yang Xuerou, Xue Linglong, and the other women. A touch of greed and lust flashed in his eyes. “Hehe, kid, your luck is not bad. You’ve no lack of women. It seems I have not come here in vain this time!”
While speaking, he had already assumed that the [King’s Sword] and the women would be his. He treated Link as if he were nonexistent.
Chuckle.
The corners of Link’s mouth rose, and he smiled instead. However, that smile was cruel and cold. He then said indifferently, “I give you two choices: Die or leave your heads!”
As his icy words fell, Link’s majestic aura shook!
He had no intention of allowing these people—who were after the City Building Token—to leave.
Zhang Rongjiu, Feng Haotian, and the others were stunned.
They obviously did not expect that a Stage Three Evolver would dare to behave so recklessly in front of them!
Three pairs of eyes looked toward Link, the owners’ expressions amused.
“A mere Stage Three Evolver actually dares to make such a ruckus in front of us. Laughable! I will get rid of you first, fly!” Feng Haotian disdainfully spoke as he raised his hand and punched.
An overwhelming pressure bloomed from that punch! A roar was heard as if the air was unable to handle the high pressure!
A terrifying fist shadow rushed towards Link like a roaring lion!
The horror of this strike made the crowd’s pupils shrink in fear! If it connected, it was enough to make mincemeat of a Stage Three warrior!
