The Dark King – Chapter 43

Monster

“Was there anyone living in here?” Mason and the others ere looking all over the streets could see the ruins covered by the vegetation The architectural style was totally different but frouely understand that s were the res

“Of course” Scott looked up at the surrounding ruins and continued: “Our ancestors had lived in this place until the disaster destroyed it As a result it is desolate now As everything that is here was made and build by our ancestors, our role is to take back these things to the consortium”

“Where our ancestors lived … …” Mason exclaimed in excitement as he heard words Scott said Everyone was curiously looking around

Dudian saw a map drawn on sheepskin in Scott’s hands He peeked at it and saw the crooked routes sketched on it In the center of the iant wall of Silva’ ritten close to it Outside the giant wall there were outlines of irregular curved circles marked with numbers above them

“Zero, one … …” Dudian eyes sweep over them He saw that these numbers were repeated in different places There was ‘zero area’ at one place and in another one The numbers went up to seven Each area were dyed in a different color The map looked like a rainbow

Scott saw that Dudian was observing the iant wall The outside areas are divided by consortia in advances and ly by number and color For example our Mellon consortiureen and yellow that you see close by to our area belongs to others Green areas area owned byconsortia’s area Each consortia sends their hunters in advance to clean out the region before sending scavengers”

Dudian nodded slightly as he undertood thebehind circles and colors Zero to seven referred to ray are outside?”

“This is place that hunters haven’t gone through yet” Scott spoke in a serious tone: “We absolutely can not enter these gray areas They are extreerous Even hunters are likely to die in there if they are alone”

“Dangerous?” Dudian was curious, said: “What is the source of danger?”

“Monster!” Scott whispered

Dudian’s heart jumped, Monster?

At this tiht which had collapsed on to the street As everything else it was covered by vegetation and surrounded by vines It was not collected by scavengers

“The area No 8 is in front of us” Scott looked at the corner of the street There was less vegetation in here in comparison to other areas as it was close to the city center Traces of cracks were one streets that had been caused by the earthquakes

“Fronified as he pulled out a dagger from his waist: ” The hunters have just cleaned out area No 8 We are the second batch to enter this region Although the harvest will be very good, but it is likely that ill encounter monsters that weren’t killed by hunters Be calet infected”

Dudian and the others ere new to this felt a little nervous They took out their weapons as Scott had done previously Everyone vigilantly began to scan the surrounding environment
