On the other sides of the battlefield, countless bullets are being fired by the residences of Pandora Base.
They don't care about how much bullet were wasted. At times like these, being frugal is a dumb thing to do.
While in the other hand, the ultimate bombing squad of Adam, the ancient devil bugs are continuously massacring the zombies.
The zombies can't defend their selves from the explosions and whenever a devil bug lands near them, death is to be expected.
Zombies near Adam and the group did tried to attack them but under the protection of tier 3 advance skeletons numbering 200 at a time, the action is futile and deemed impossible.
Ding!
" Congratulations for killing.... "
" Congratulations for killing.... "
" Congratulations for killing.... "
" Congratulations for killing.... "
" Congratulations for killing.... "
" Congratulations for killing.... "
Progress: tier 3 advance [ tier 4 advance ( buffed ) ] 36905/100000.
The original 200 thousand zombies from the start only left less than half of the original number after the joint efforts of Adam's team and the Pandora Base.
The efficiency of Adam is really amazing.
Even the people of Pandora can't help but took note of the mysterious team that emerged and helped them solve the impending crisis.
" These people are really good. Look at how zombies can't even get near them. "
" Exactly, these people are so lucky to have a very powerful awaken! "
" Envy, I wish I can do something as amazing as this. The world is so unfair. "
" Don't make me laugh. Qualifications to be awakened is very harsh. Out of all the awakeneds, who is not a person of great capability before the apocalypse? "
" Yes *sigh * "
This is what normal people always lamented about.
This was just the theory of the scientist. Awakened people naturally emerged to those who has an outstanding character or physical ability.
Example, a martial artist. They trained on the body and a small probability in the martial arts circle may awakened a legacy from a warrior type.
Some extremely brilliant people with high IQ can also awakened as mages or other magic related profession. This is highly probable because most of the scientist in the army who leads the current researches actually do have magic type legacies. Even in Pandora, they have this brilliant kind of people.
Even the base chief who is a fire magician was a well known figure during the peace time as a very outstanding lawyer.
" I should have become a nerd or a workout idiot back then! Why?! "
" Stop complaining like lady and continue working! "
The atmosphere once again become serious. The zombies are maybe less than half it is in just this short span of time. But, they can't become complacent.
What if there is an accident?
Who can they cry to?
" The mysterious group is closing on us! " a man shouted as he saw the marching skeletons as it mow down the zombies blocking the way.
The skeletons are really imposing.
Seeing how unhindered they are, it brings a majestic image if the coming of a king.
" What kind of legacy can give to this power? Necromancy? "
" Who do you think among them is the awakened? "
" The young man with a sword who is leading the charge is. He looks so majestic doing that. " a man said while referring to Gil.
" Are you an idiot! That man is clearly an evolutionary. An army like this should come from a very promising strategist. That middle aged man with composed expression should be the one. " another man said as he referred to Jackson who is calmly observing everything an keeping a close eye to Adam as protection.
" But that handsome and thin young man seems to be the awakened. He must be a very intelligent lad and was able to awakened his power to command an army. "
" It do make sense. "
" And he seems to be protected by everyone like the most important person present. "
" He actually is. The young generation is promising! "
Adam and co started to get near the Pandora Base. In less than a kilometer, they can already reach the iron gate.
Getting near the iron wall, Adam can't help but once again admire the workmanship.
From a far, the gate looks so tall and big but closer, it looks even more imposing.
Adam was informed that all the iron walls was made by the master craftsman from the army who awakened a legacy of a great dwarf.
The craftsman can control and create minerals and had been producing the army with their cold and hot weapons.
The major forces are like this and they have their iconic mode of barriers.
The army have their iron walls, Espoir Church and their holy barrier and the Trojans with their wall of thorns.
" Gil, do you think they would not kick me out of here? I don't have anything to identify myself and my origin is very shady. " Adam asked Gil who returned with rest on his side.
" Don't worry boss. We can just say that you are a survivor from the south region. With the power you have shown, they will surely not question how you survived. "
Actually Gil is sensitive. Unlike the normal evolutionary, he can't feel any fluctuation of energy from Adam.
It is like Adam is only a normal person.
On the other hand, Arthus seems to be the awakened one who is protecting Adam.
But they know the horror of Adam. Aside from commanding an army, the kid actually have lots of self preservation.
Even the fruit and water they eat and drink is likely to be produced using Adam's power.
In short, the boss is really awesome all rounder!
* swoosh *
With a strong gale of wind, Arthus suddenly stood beside Adam which shocked the rest of the people, including Adam.
" Arthus! I thought someone is trying to kill me! "
" I apologise... my [ lord ]. "
" * Chuckle * Don't worry master, with me, Jaya on your side, no one can touch you. "
Jaya, you are really lovable!
Look how comforting you are to me.
Arthus, you should learn from Jaya.
" So how did it go Arthus? "
" Everything.... is settled... Even our residency.... no problem. "
eh?
What residency are you talking about?
" I have.... already talk.... about us staying...in the base.... with their leaders. "
" So it's already good? Nice one buddy! "
Now I don't have to worry being kicked out!
Arthus, I never knew you have the spirit of a secretary in you.
Good negotiating skill!
" And they said.... they are going to give my [ lord ] a position.. "
Oooh..
I'll become an important person then.
Hahaha.
What a nice start for my safe and free life in the base.
" Ok. Let's finish this and settle ourselves in the base. "
" By the way, Gil, are we staying on a house or something. "
" We are only normal people and a tier 1 back then so we are only given a tent. Our living conditions is not that great and water supply is actually scarce. "
" So we will be living on the tent? "
As for water, he have unlimited supply of it and also rich in energy. Why should he care?
" No, the boss is a powerful person and someone who will be granted a position, an apartment or something similar is guaranteed! " Gil said happily.
As the team members of Adam, they too are allowed to live with the boss. Even if they just huddle in a single room or even in the living room, it is already very good, a lot better than their past condition.
" That's good. But we should also try living on the tent sometimes and roast marshmallows. We have lots of it. "
The boss is is still a kid- ahem the boss is kind.
After being trained by Arthus, in a few months or so, I hope the boss can mature a little.
But right now, seeing how carefree the boss is, it is actually refreshing and comforting.
Seeing the boss act like this give them a sense of security.
It is like no matter the problem, as long as the boss is smiling, then the problem should be solvable.
If one us die, will the boss become mature?
Remembering how distraught Adam when Anna was injured, Gil took the idea back.
Let's just keep the boss the way he is and let him grow on his own phase.
I believe that no matter what, the boss would be sensible and will soon have a proper understanding of living in the apocalypse.
After a few hours, the rest of the remaining zombies are cleaned up. Piles of bodies of both humans and zombies are lying on the ground.
There are lives lost but the mortality rate is actually very small that it is already a miracle for them.
You know, they even expected that the base will be lost today. Now only less than 100 lives were lost, even though it is not something to be happy about, but the thought that the sacrifice is only few make the atmosphere a little warm.
" We won!!!!! "
Nobody knows who started it but everyone soon followed and their joy of surviving reverberated in the area.
" Hahahaah! We actually survived! Thank you. Thank you. " A man said while crying, laughing and kneeling on the ground.
Every person had their own way of celebrating their survival.
Some laugh, some cried, some even walked to the dead ones and prayed.
But everyone know the main reason they survived. It is because of the mysterious group who control the exploding bugs and silver looking skeletons.
And the heroes in the hearts of everyone, reached the gate of the base...
