It had been a while since Mo Fan last had this feeling. The unique tempo as the rain was tapping on the bricks and the roof of the residence served as a lullaby sending him to sleep. He had never felt the same way after his father Mo Jiaxin sold the old house just so he could become a Magician.
Mo Fan was in a very deep sleep. He did wake up for a moment, but fell right back into it. It was the kinds of sleep where you could no longer distinguish if it was day or night, or even remember who he was. He was utterly relaxed, his mind blank after he woke up, but the surge of memories returned about him being a Magician, his Double Innate Elements, the Calamity of Bo City, Pearl Institute, him turning into a demon, the Black Totem Snake and the calamity of Ancient Capital...wait, what's after the calamity?
Oh, it still had not ended yet. He was still right in the middle of the terrifying disaster...
At this thought, Mo Fan was fully awake all of a sudden. He opened his heavy eyelids and glanced at his surroundings, and saw Liu Ru lying beside him, like she was taking care of a patient.
”How do you feel?” Liu Ru had a gentle smile when she saw Mo Fan waking up. Despite her alluring lips and eyes flickering with the charm of Blood Tribe, the innocence in her bones was still on full display.
”I don't know, it feels like I was having a long dream,” said Mo Fan.
It felt exactly like how he had fallen asleep on the hill behind the school, before realizing that he had traversed to this world. Mo Fan was suddenly afraid that everything until now was only a ridiculous dream, yet when he thought how the city was being devoured by the undead, maybe it would be better if it were a dream, since there were too many people dying now.
”I've fed you the energy acquired from a few Phantom Generals through blood, so the process might have been resulted in some impact to your soul, sending you into a deep sleep,” explained Liu Ru.
”I see, I thought I'd traversed again,” said Mo Fan.
”Why again?” asked Liu Ru, like she was following a script.
”Hehe, let's not talk about that, I can feel that my energy has recovered… By the way, where are Zhang Xiaohou and the others?” blurted out Mo Fan.
”Don't worry, I've left a little bat mark on Zhang Xiaohou. It will bring us to where they are,” Liu Ru slowly opened her palm, where lay a transparent red bat like a crystal.
Bats were normally ugly, but this one in Liu Ru's hand was incredibly adorable, like a fat hamster with a bow tie.
”Where's the army of undead now?” Mo Fan was more concerned about this. The army of undead was like a tsunami of death. There was simply no chance of survival if they were caught in it.
”It's around six kilometers away from the inner walls. I think we are around four kilometers away from the inner walls,” said Liu Ru.
”...” Somehow Mo Fan felt that Liu Ru was too calm when describing the situation to him.
Holy shit, the army of undead is only two kilometers away!
------
Liu Ru was extremely quick. She dragged Mo Fan across the streets and buildings as she sprinted at her full speed...
Mo Fan turned his head around boldly and felt his scalp turning numb!
The army of undead had already eaten half of the Ancient Capital. The outer walls were lost in the black ocean. The rolling tide of flesh simply covered everything he could see. Even when he tried his very best to look further into the distance, all he could see were zombies and skeletons that made the deepest part of his soul shiver!
The City North no longer existed!
”Sister Liu Ru, if you actually woke me up slightly later, I would have died sleeping,” Mo Fan commented as he slowly turned his head back.
”Well, it's just that you looked so tired,” said Liu Ru, feeling a little ashamed.
”Staying alive is more important… huh, where did your little bat go?” asked Mo Fan.
