144 Episode 23: The situation in the city. (1/2)

Sweet Herbivore City has four different entrances, each connected to the outer sectors. The outer sectors are Sector 1, 2, 3, and 4. The inner sectors are Sector 5, 6, and 7.

The side from where Feng entered Sweet Herbivore city along with his party is sector 2 which is connected to the TCC highway.

Sector 2 is located totally opposite to Sector 4. Sector 4 entrance and exit is the railway station that has a railroad that extends from this city to the City of Silver. Currently, they were in a red-zone region. They needed to take the train so that they can reach the City of Silver which is a gray-zone that has military supports. That's why they were heading to sector 4.

In the middle of these two Sectors (2 and 4) are Sector 5, 6, and 7. Though these sectors no longer exist. According to what Khan said, a big slab of meteoroid had dropped in the middle of the city during the meteor shower that started the Apocalypse. Feng and the others took his words as it is, right now, they were startled by seeing the size of the meteoroid.

The big slab of space stone wasn't big, it was humongous. It was the size of a mountain. Even though they were at the starting line of the city, the meteoroid was still visible to their eyes.

Sector five, six, and seven were located in the middle of the Sweet Herbivore City. The mountain-sized meteoroid plummeted in the middle of the city that's why these three sectors faced direct Annihilation at the start of the Apocalypse.

Feng determined that all the unlucky citizens of these three sectors also died, their bodies crushed to dust under the meteoroid.

Before they entered the city, the plan was to take a direct line that directly leads to Sector 4. The direct line was an in-city underground train track. But after seeing the meteoroid stone that had definitely plunged deep into the ground and destroyed the underground Train station, they had to change the plans.

Right now, they were discussing what their next step should be.

”Leader, to reach Sector 4 that is opposite to here, we can climb up this mountain-like meteoroid. It will probably take around an hour to climb this. So, do we climb this rock or go around it?” Jody asked him. His eyes were lowered, starting at the ground so that he can carefully trace each of his steps. He wasn't being extra cautious, the streets of Sector 2 were cracked all over the place. Even a single misstep and Jody could fall headfirst and have his ankle twisted.

”Yeah, if we are gonna climb it then we should salvage some safety equipment from these ruins,” Khan said wearily.

The surrounding didn't look any better than ruins. Buildings were toppled all around him, some dangling in mid-air ready to crash downwards any second. Cars were abandoned on the street, probably due to panic people left their cars some moments after the shockwaves produced by the meteoroids crashing into the middle part of the city, and ran on feet to get out of this place. The mountain-like meteoroid dropped into the middle of the city, yet Sectors, 1,2, and 3 were inflicted harm because of the powerful aftershock.

”We aren't gonna climb it, so there's no need to salvage safety equipment. It's better to go around this thing.” Feng replied to Jody's and Khan's questions while pointing at the very wide mountain.

”Sure!” Khan and Jody held complete obedience towards their leader as they were frantic believers of Feng and the founders of his occult. Whatever Feng says, they will never question twice. Whatever they do, they will ask Feng first before making a move.

Right then, Feng stopped in his track. He stopped in his track so everyone else also stopped in their track. ”Bring out the city map. Let me check out the routes of this city.” He said to Arnold.

”Ah, sure,” Arnold said. He pulled out his S-25 device and turned it on. A holographic screen containing the complex map of the city opened up.

Feng carefully examined it. His finger pressed on his chin. Occasionally, he would hmm as if he understood

After examining the streets of the city with Dracula, he said to Dracula, ”What do you think is the best possible path?”

Feng wasn't a map expert, so how would he understand what the freak this was. Examining the map was just an act he was putting on for others to save his pride and position as their leader.

Dracula said while pointing at Sector 3. ”Master, the best roundabout path is to walk Southwest from our current location and head towards Sector 3. From their, Sector 4 is only 400 km away.”
