Chapter 900: Surviving the Desperate Situation (Part One)

“Mom, Dad, please bless me while the stars are embracing you. I have to find food; I have to help my sisters to survive…” Leo thought to himself while hatred and anger appeared in his eyes, “The damn Anjians caused this disaster.”

Every single Alanian believed that Anjians destroyed the Alania Empire and released the terrifying plague and Undead Creature Catastrophe, trying to use this vicious and cruel method to wipe out the resistance forces of Alania and conquer the wills of Alanians.

“These damn b*stards. Alania will never surrender!”

The boy had some warrior foundations. Although he wasn’t a Star-level Warrior, he was nimble and quick like a smart cat. With high awareness of his surroundings, he moved close to the edge of the forest.

Usually, if people wanted food, they should go to the nearby towns. However, Leo flipped the script and did the opposite, moving toward the edge of the forest where there were fewer people. He knew that in this Undead Creature Catastrophe, most of the residents in the towns turned into zombies. The places with more people in the past were now filled with zombies, and it was more dangerous for him.

Although mutated demon beasts lived in the forest, there were fewer of them near the edge of the forest. Also, not all the animals and beasts in the forest mutated. Some wild animals were living on the edge of the forest. If Leo were lucky and could catch a wild animal, he and his sisters would have enough food for one to two days.

As he got close to the edge of the forest, he paid more attention to his surroundings.

About 500 meters away, four human zombies were wandering around. From their clothes, Leo could tell that they were probably hunters when they were alive. Before they could return home after the hunting trip, they were attacked by mutated creatures and got corroded by the evil energy, turning into zombies themselves.

“Most of the hunters are stronger than normal people, so it is harder for them to be turned into zombies. These people should have been injured on the hunting trip and were weakened. It is quite unlucky for them that they got corroded by the evil energy.”

After surviving in this terrifying environment for a few weeks, Leo had some understanding regarding this Undead Creature Catastrophe. He knew that warriors who were much stronger than normal people had a higher chance of surviving. Of course, didn’t matter how healthy their bodies were, if the undead creatures such as zombies injured them, they were done for.

Leo looked at the knives and sabers on these zombies enviously, and he controlled himself and put away the thought of trying to get them. Although he and his sisters would have a higher chance of surviving if they got weapons, he was currently no match for those hunter zombies since he was hungry and weak.

As long as he kept a long distance of a few hundred meters between him and those zombies, he wouldn’t attract their attention.

After looking around carefully, he picked a few frequent paths for animals and set up some small traps. In the last few months, his father brought him here to hunt small animals such as rabbits and big mice. Therefore, Leo knew how to do all these things.

After finishing all the setup, he started the long wait.

This was the only thing that he could do.

If he didn’t rely on traps, he couldn’t capture any animals in his current state.

Unfortunately, it seemed like Leo’s luck wasn’t that good today. After waiting under the hot sun for two to three hours, he still got nothing.

He licked his dry lips and patted the deerskin leather water flask, and he decided to go and get some water right now; he had to return to the stone cave before night.

At night, the activates of the mutated creatures and zombies would become frantic and aggressive.

With his back bent, he continued to move forward carefully.

The water in the rivers was already polluted and couldn’t be used. Therefore, he had to find some spring water.

Leo knew a hidden spring water source, and the water quality was excellent. In the last few days, he and his sisters survived on it.

This trip took him more than 40 minutes.

Fortunately, he didn’t run into any mutated creatures and zombies.

However, his heart sunk when he returned to the traps. None of the traps harvested anything.

“The sun is going to set in a little over an hour. If I can’t find food before the sunset…” Thinking back to his two little sisters who were hungry and scared in the dark stone cave, Leo got anxious. He knew that he couldn’t wait anymore.

“I need to get closer to the forest. There are more animals there.”

Disregarding his safety, Leo decided to risk it this one time. Otherwise, his two little sisters who were extremely hungry might not last until the next sunrise.

He disassembled the traps and tied them on his waist. Then, he got closer to the edge of the forest cautiously.

There were some small forests about two kilometers away; this was the outer range.

If he moved forward for about ten kilometers, the trees would be much taller, and he would really be at the edge of the big forest.

It was said that the dark and evil energy occupied this forest.

Chapter 900: Surviving the Desperate Situation (Part Two)

Although something strange occurred in the forest one to two days ago, and some people claimed that they sensed the aura of the Holy God, it was meaningless. Alanians already lost hope and trust in the Holy Church and the Holy God.

In this catastrophe, even the priests of the Holy Church got turned into zombies.

When Leo was about 200 meters away from the small forests, he suddenly detected intense danger.

While wind-howling noises sounded, a black figure dashed out from the side and jumped at Leo. Instantly, a stinky and disgusting odor permeated the air.

“Mutated demonic wolf? This is the outer edge of the forest; how can this creature appear here?”

Leo was only an ordinary boy who was about 15 years old, and he had never experienced such an incident before.

Level 3 demonic wolves only lived in the depths of the forest, and they should never appear here.

Leo turned his head subconsciously in fear, and he saw the giant mouth of the black demonic wolf with black saliva dripping down and the white and sharp fangs that reflected sunlight.

This poor boy felt like his legs turned to jelly. He tried to dodge subconsciously, but he felt a burning sensation on his back.

The boy’s heart sunk; he knew that he was done.

The evil power would even corrode a Star-level Warrior and turn the warrior into a zombie if the mutated creatures injured this person.

Judging from the burning sensation on his back, Leo knew that he was injured at that moment.

The roars of the demonic wolf sounded behind him, and he sensed the disgusting and moist air that was coming from that bloody mouth.

The boy’s body froze, and he couldn’t move.

However, at this moment, he felt like everything around him slowed down.

He thought back to his two little sisters who were still waiting for him in the dark stone cave. They were so young, and they lost their parents. If they lost him, without food and warmth, they might not be able to see tomorrow’s sun.

“I have to live. I can’t die. Keeley, Dilly, my dear little sisters. If I die, how can you live?”

A power sudden ignited in Leo’s body, and this boy rolled to the side at this critical moment.

However, the burning sensation on his shoulder told him that he was injured again. This mutated demonic wolf tore off a big piece of his flesh, and blood gushed out of the wound instantly.

Leo was only a boy who had some warrior foundations. Facing a mutated demonic wolf that was close to the level of a Four-Star Warrior, dodging twice was his limit. His chance of surviving was equal to zero.

The boy turned around and tried to flee.

However, the kiss of the demonic wolf caught him again, quickly pushing him onto the ground.

The claws on the front paws of the wolf pierced into the boy’s chest, and the black saliva dripped onto his neck. The terrifying red light in the demonic wolf’s eyes brightened, and the knife-like sharp teeth slashed down at the boy’s neck.

“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I can’t protect my little sisters anymore…” The boy felt desperate and gave up.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

Whoosh!

An air-piercing noise sounded, and Leo felt light again. He turned his head subconsciously and saw that the level 3 mutated demonic wolf was dragged away by arrows that were shot from the depths of the forest.

Ordinary sabers couldn’t even cut into the necks of the demonic wolves, but those ordinary-looking arrows pierced this wolf’s neck and nailed it onto a giant rock. It was clear that this wolf wouldn’t survive.

“Who is it?”

The boy struggled to sit up, and he looked in the direction where those arrows came from.

He saw a team of four to five warriors who were wearing delicate white armor. They were shouting something as they quickly walked out of the forest, and the person in the lead was holding a bow. It was clear that the arrows which killed the demonic wolf came from him.

“Who are they? They aren’t speaking the language of Alania. Are they the damn b*stards of Anji?” the boy thought to himself and quickly shook his head. “No. I have heard of the language that Anjians use, and it doesn’t sound like this. Are they warriors from the adjacent Dietfurt Empire?”

The warriors in white quickly walked to Leo’s side.

Then, some signals were passed out, and this boy who was barely able to stay conscious saw many warriors in white walking out of the forest, and these mighty warriors in white surrounded a black-haired young man.

This young man was extremely handsome, and he had a friendly smile on his face.

Leo sensed an indescribable yet majestic aura from this young man as if he were a perfect god in the stories of the traveling poets, and godly light shone around him.

Even those arrogant nobles and knights of Alania couldn’t be compared to this young man.

With the last bit of consciousness, Leo saw this majestic young man walking towards him. After hearing the reports from the warriors in white, this young man reached out his hand, and a streak of warm golden light shot out of his palm and entered Leo’s body, making the latter feel comfortable as if it were a mother’s touch.

Then, Leo fainted.
