Abyss Summoner-Chapter 140 - 138: The Homeward Journey

The cold north wind howled past.

In the apocalypse, the weather is like this: one day clear and sunny, the next day biting cold. Without a stable stronghold, such harsh conditions alone could kill countless survivors.

[Order]

A large group appeared beneath the city wall.

With the supply of Blood Honey, Ma Chen greatly increased the speed of building the walls. Every day, [Order] underwent new changes.

In this situation, the front of the camp was completely renovated, raising a huge wall six meters high. Every inch of these walls had strong density, not easily collapsing.

Wei Xun walked at the front, and beside him were the Undead Mage and the Inferior Demon. They had been away for three days, perhaps thinking of soon seeing their long-lost master. The Inferior Demon, whose face had been gloomy these days, squinted and slightly grinned, showing an expectant expression.

Beside them, dozens of Skeletons stood casually, holding machetes, their fleshless white bones eerily pale, marked with a ’no trespass’ sign.

"Order?"

A surprised voice came from behind.

This was a short middle-aged man, less than one meter five tall, with all the muscles in his legs atrophied, even deformed.

Obviously, his legs were diseased. Normally, such legs couldn’t stand on the ground, but now he stood straight. Upon closer inspection, his legs were covered with green vines, which wrapped around his legs, driving the middle-aged man forward as he walked.

"These walls are really high. How exactly did they do it?"

A booming voice sounded, and beside the man, a dark face spoke solemnly. His expression was grave, his voice like thunder, and most exaggeratedly, he had no hair at all, his shiny head even smoother than glass.

"As rumored, these walls can defend against any monster attack. No insect or zombie stands a chance before these walls. I’m eager to meet the great figure Wei Xun mentioned, achieving this in such a short time — truly a genius! No! Genius isn’t enough; he’s a dragon among men! Yes, a dragon among men!"

Just after they finished speaking, a voice of flattery came.

His face was round and large, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, with layers of flesh gathered like ’oil clumps.’ He looked like a compassionate Buddha. His neck was thick and short, with layers of flesh like waves.

However, his small eyes emitted a sharp gleam, indicating he was very shrewd and unusual.

"We’re at the gate. No one should easily use their abilities. The master likes people who abide by the rules; I don’t want any unpleasantness later." Wei Xun turned back, his gaze sweeping over the three.

As one of [Order]’s senior members, unknowingly, Wei Xun’s aura had gradually formed. To ordinary people, one glance was like seeing a beast, scaring them away.

But these three...

Each had their opportunities in the apocalypse, quickly gaining their holdings and becoming powerful figures.

Du Men, before the apocalypse, was a poliomyelitis patient, unable to stand for decades. But when the apocalypse hit, he gained the power to control plants, allowing a small sapling to grow into a towering tree in a short time and vines to wrap around his legs, walking with the help of plants.

As for that tough guy, Zhang Jianxiong, he was a gangster leader in J City, in and out of police custody three times, with a hot-tempered, easily angered personality. His awakened power was pure strength amplification.

Not swift like an ice archer, nor as glamorous as a Dragon Blood Warrior, Zhang Jianxiong, as his name suggests, was imposing and heroic.

Believing in the essence of overwhelming power, his fists like iron hammers, even creating explosive sounds in the air, showing extraordinary power.

And the fat man, named Wu Junwen, was a famous real estate tycoon in peacetime with billions in assets. Shrewd and capable, he was best at negotiation, rising from a small employee to a tycoon, using both luck and immense ability, mastering the art of saying the right things to the right people.

Not only in the apocalypse, but even in peacetime, Wu Junwen had three wives and four concubines, never failing to capture any woman he desired.

As for his ability, Elastic Skin, even if scratched by a monster’s claws, his skin would bounce off instantly, leaving no trace of blood.

A powerful meat shield, indeed!

Talented! All three were talented!

Receiving Chen Feng’s command, Wei Xun went to recruit the large camps in the Economic Development Zone. Originally, there were four forces with over five hundred people.

These were three of them.

As for the remaining one, when Wei Xun arrived, the large camp had been reduced to ruins. Insects attacked, slaughtering the survivors who struggled for months, over five hundred people, with not a single escapee.

The ruins were full of human remains, blood and viscera scattered all around, resembling a hellish scene, unbearable to witness.

This is the apocalypse.

You never know which will come first, tomorrow or disaster.

This time, Wei Xun used sixty percent of the camp’s force, protected by the Inferior Demon and Undead Mage, followed by a large squad of Skeleton soldiers. This power could crush any force, and faced with such might, the three leaders didn’t have the courage to refuse, following Wei Xun to discuss important matters.

Completing the master’s command.

This slightly softened Wei Xun’s expression. He walked to the wall’s base, identified himself, and the reconnaissance team’s members immediately let him pass.

[Order]

In the eyes of the three, this stronghold, described as a miracle, slowly opened its doors to welcome the newly arrived guests...
