Chapter 1807
Time passed slowly, and countless more sacrifices were made. All kinds of events unfolded throughout the cities, including many deaths. These events bore witness to the power of hope and determination.Finally, one noon, after navigating through various obstacles, Adrian and his group reached their destination. Before them was Bronze City, the small town they had so painstakingly looked for. They were now less than forty kilometers away from Peach Village."We’re here!" Adrian announced, parking the car and gazing at the small town.Despite being small, the Bronze City was shrouded in an eerie silence. They could see signs of monsters passing through, with many houses damaged or destroyed. The sky was filled with bird monsters circling overhead as if they were watching their prey on the ground. The town appeared to be devoid of any living humans, and numerous bodies were scattered throughout in various poses. Most of them had started to decay due to the elements. This place had on

The large tree was wilting away from not having obtained any sunlight for a long time. It would die if it did not get any soon."Adrian!" Marissa said when she heard the cat's meows.She pointed at the cat in the tree, while Adrian glanced around to make sure there were no nearby monsters. Then, he nodded to Marissa, who took out a bag of fish snacks from her backpack and approached the tree. The scent of the snacks filled the air when she opened it."You must be starving, little kitty. I've got something tasty for you, so come down here," Marissa gently coaxed the cat.The cat, although hungry, remained cautious and did not dare to approach Marissa."I'll put it on the ground so that you can come and enjoy it."Marissa put the snack on the ground and stepped back several paces. The cat then jumped down from the tree and began to eat eagerly, meowing in hunger. It was famished, as was every other animal in the world.The trio watched smilingly as the cat began to eat the snack.

Thus, six felines joined the human trio. Bronze City was now within sight, and the town was crawling with monsters. Adrian surveyed their surroundings and said, "Rozi, let's take care of the ones inside the town first so that we don't alert the surrounding ones.""Understood." Rozi opened the car window and climbed onto the roof. A sword appeared in her hand, emitting an array of brilliant lights. The sword then began to multiply, splitting into twos, then into fours, until dozens of illusionary swords floated in front of Rozi. With a swift motion of her arm, all the swords flew out. Monsters in the sky and on the ground were pierced by the swords and collapsed.With these monsters dealt with, Adrian continued driving into Bronze City. He was no longer as anxious since there were no more monsters left. They could now enter safely.The streets of Bronze City were strewn with bodies. Most of them had been killed by the monster's blades. Bronze City only had one main street, and it

"She's dead. Her heart has stopped," Marissa responded.Adrian let out a deep sigh."Did the wolves enter the town? They're social animals that live in packs, so I'm sure there are more of them around. We should be careful. Although there aren't any monsters around, it'll be troublesome if we come across a pack of wolves," Rozi said. "Something's off." Adrian shook his head and took a look at his surroundings. "This one doesn't seem to be part of a pack. It's true there are wolves in the forest around this town, but it's too far away from them to want to come here.""Maybe they ran out of food and decided to find some here?" Marissa offered."That's a possibility, but that doesn't feel plausible," Adrian responded.Suddenly, they heard a baby's cry echo through the alley."What can you see over there, Marissa?" Adrian pointed in the direction of the crying.Marissa immediately took a look. With her newfound ability to see through obstacles, she scanned the area and said, "Ther

As unbelievable as this was, the evidence was all there.From the degree of composition, it was clear the baby's mother had been deceased for at least a week. Coupled with the wolf fur found near the baby and that the mother wolf was in its nursing period, it was clear it had been feeding the baby with its milk.Adrian picked up the baby and took a deep breath. "Let's get out of here. It isn’t good for the baby to be around a decaying body." He then looked to the deceased mother and said, 'I'm sorry we can't bury you, but I promise we'll take good care of your daughter. We will find you a resting place after we've won this battle." Rozi and Marissa cupped their hands together in prayer before leaving the shrine. The baby continued to cry due to hunger."She's hungry," Adrian said, looking worried. Marissa smiled. "Give her to me. I may have a way to feed her."Adrian was puzzled. "You do? Are you…"Marissa shot him a glare. "No, I'm not. I'm still a virgin. Let's just head t

"Ava? That's a good name. Looks like you're her mother from now on, Marissa. You've got yourself a daughter though you’re barely of age yourself."Marissa, however, did not find anything inappropriate about this. She looked down at Ava with a kind expression on her face. "Poor little Ava. Her mother died right by her side, and all she could do was watch her pass. I'm going to take good care of her from now on and be her mother."Adrian smiled as Marissa doted on the baby girl.The world may not be as beautiful as it used to be but there were still kind humans around. Marissa would not give up on Ava, nor was she going to let her grow up without a mother's love. Thus, Marissa became Ava's mother. ***The group left Bronze City, which Ava was the only survivor of. Adrian was disappointed. He had hoped to find more survivors despite the destruction of the town. Yet, the place had become devoid of humans a long time ago. "Peach Village is ten kilometers ahead. We'll reach there

"Aaaagh!" The ax cut into Adrian's shoulder and was then withdrawn to strike his head. Just as Adrian's head was about to be lobbed off, a sharp gust of wind swept over him and the teenager. Rozi had turned into a beam of light as she punched the monster's head and blew it up. The massive monster fell to the ground, but Rozi continued to angrily dismember the monster with her sword.Adrian trembled. Blood was pouring from his shoulder, but he still held the teenager tightly. The boy was petrified, and his face had turned pale."Adrian, are you okay?" Marissa rushed over from the car with a medical kit.Rozi cleared the area of any remaining monsters and went to Adrian’s side. His shoulder was injured. The wound was not so deep that it affected his movements. However, it was bleeding profusely."I'll disinfect it then suture it. We don't have anesthesia, so you'll have to bear with it," Marissa said tearfully."You know how to suture wounds?" Adrian asked.Marissa shook her he

"How long have you been hiding in the mine?"Whitney, still sobbing, replied, "Almost a month. We hid there since the fourth day of the disaster. The principal was killed on our way there, and so were our teachers. They were killed by the monsters. It's just us students left now." Adrian had not expected such a thing to happen in such a small town. Greenheart High was not too far away from Peach Village, so the villagers here attended that school. News of the sixty-four survivors was the best news Adrian could ever have received. He asked, "What have you all been eating to survive?""There's a fruit orchard taken care of by a rancher nearby, but he vanished. We've been living off of the fruits, but we finished them all a few days ago and have been starving since."Adrian smiled. "You’ve done well, Whitney. I need you to take me to the mine, okay?"Whitney nodded, then commented, "I feel like I've seen you before, sir. You look really familiar…""Is that so?""Oh yeah!" Whitne
