586 A New Place to Stay, Leading the New Jersey Survivors to Their New Dwellings (1/2)

”This place is fascinating.”

That was what filled the mind of Roan and the others that came here for the first time. It was as if they were brought into a different world, far from the nightmarish apocalypse that they suffered in for the past four months.

In this place, their group saw strange sights, fascinating creatures, and even the people looked carefree without worry.

”Boss, you didn't bring us to your country, right? It's a different world, isn't it?”

Roan could not help but voice out as they continued to walk around.

”That might look like it, but it's kind of impossible, right?”

Arnold said, rejecting what Roan said.

The others nodded, agreeing with Arnold. With what happened on Earth right after the apocalypse, it was not strange that a place like this existed. Of course, it was still surprising, especially the existence of the creatures that they only heard from fairytales, myths, and folklore. Though everyone had seen the Tikbalangs and the Dryad back in The Pagoda, they did not think much of it.

They just thought that they were Mutants with strange mutations. It was not surprising considering that not everyone was privy to Mythological Creatures around the world. Furthermore, they all looked half-humans, and that made them have such an assumption.

But seeing the fairy, they were finally convinced that these creatures were not just products of Mutagen. They were actual, genuine creatures.

Creatures took from the stories they had heard before.

Creatures whose existence had long been being debated since the start of time.

”I can bring you all to another world if you want to, though?” Mark suddenly said with a shrug. ”It's more or less just another dimension on Earth, but it can be considered as another world since many laws on Earth did not apply there. The people that lived there are not humans either.”

Everyone in Roan's group froze. They could not fathom whether what Mark was saying was the truth or not.

”Sir Mark, you're kidding us, right?”

Felicia could not help but say.

”I'm not joking. It's the dimension where those horseheads and the Dryad came from. The world home to the Mythological creatures that don't exist on Earth for the most part.”

Everyone had gone speechless at this point. Mark definitely liked to turn their world upside down.

”Well, don't think about things too much,” Mark added. ”Only this place looked like this. If you all go down the mountain, you will probably experience things not any different compared to the things back in your previous place. But of course, it can be less or worse, depending on the place you intend to go to.”

Still, everyone could only admit. The strange person called Mark brought them to a place that was a paradise compared to the place they lived in the past four months.

A paradise, they said.

It was until...

The scene suddenly became a nightmare.

In front of them, a gigantic woman with tentacles and hundreds of eyes all over its body stood. She was growling at them.

No, she was growling at Mark. Her gestures did seem harmless, but it was definitely nightmarish to everyone.

”She's not growling, right? She seemed to be talking.”

Sandy said, realizing that this nightmarish looking woman seemed to be talking to Mark. It was impossible to understand, though, since all she did was to growl with a bit of gesture with her hands.

That was when they heard Mark reply.

”Thanks.” Mark said since Aimee came to welcome him back. ”Any changes with your child?”

Of course, it was natural for Mark to ask that. Since Aimee was keeping her supposed to be child secure all the time, no one else here knew its condition.

To Aimee's dismay, she shook her head. It seemed that there were no changes at all.

”I'll check on it in later, ok?”

Mark said, in which Aimee reacted to in delight. She was already getting worried about her child, but she also felt that it was not dead at all. Thus, she could only wait in worry.

Even though it was not sure that Mark could do anything at all, it was still better that he checked on that stone-like egg.

On the other hand, however, Mark had a different reason for asking. It was because he could feel another consciousness in the base, albeit faint. Furthermore, it was coming to where Aimee was staying.

Aimee then left immediately. Unless it was important business, Aimee barely came out of her dwelling, after all. All her time was spent on taking care of that stone.

”I can't believe that the fairytale turned into horror, all of a sudden.”

Felicia murmured, which caused Roan to bump her fist on her head under their parent's orders.

”Felicia, it's rude.”

Abraham reprimanded Felicia, causing her to lower her head in embarrassment.

Mark did not mind the shenanigans of the group behind him and turned to Aephelia.

”Aephelia, lead Snow to where she will be staying. Also bring that Spider to the dungeon.”

”As you wish.”

Aephelia replied and took Snow's hand. Since this loyal maid could control the infected, she was the best person to handle Snow, Janette, and Trixie. Of course, she had Monique and Mara as her assistants since they were relatives of two of the three Infected Queens that was now in this place.

However, since Aephelia was unfamiliar to her, Snow did not budge in her place and looked at Mark with confusion.

Mark then patted her head, causing her eyes to squint.

”Follow her. She will bring you to your bedroom. She will also give you food.”

Snow tilted her head upon hearing the word bedroom. She could not understand it. However, this Infected Queen reacted quite differently after she heard food and stared at Aephelia with bright eyes.

”Aephlia, don't forget to give her food.”

”Yes.”

Aephelia nodded as she finally managed to pull away Snow.

”Oh, by the way. Don't give her infected food. She liked human food better.”

”Huh?” Aephlia then froze and looked at Mark before turning to Snow. ”Master, you brought a strange one, didn't you.”

Mark did not reply to that and only shrugged. Who had known that Snow would turn out to be a glutton for human food?

”Odel.” Mark then turned to Odelina. ”Can you lead them to the Temporary Housing? It's already relocated, right?”
