Outside the window was a misty street with a faint red glow. From Victor's bedroom, he could see that the roof of his neighbor, Fat Sander, was missing a corner. If their line of sight continued to move forward, they would see that the buildings in the town were somewhat damaged and charred. These damaged buildings were mostly concentrated at the front of the city, and even the streets that had been cleared of snow occasionally revealed shocking craters.

White snow and black scars constituted the malevolence of war.

Just before the storm, there were two attacks on the city. The attackers were the heady armed mob who called themselves the ”DK” regiment. The DK was the abbreviation of the leader of the mob, Decars. Under the lead of the leader, who was a master of both the wind and fire elements, all that was left behind were pieces of ruins wherever the DK Regiment passed.

Looking at the scars on the buildings outside, Victor remembered them clearly. That day was just like this. It was just dawn, and he was still unwilling to get up from his bed, when an attack suddenly occurred.

First, a shell dragging a fire from outside the city fell into the house of the West Street Blacksmith Levi. The blast destroyed the three-storey building Levy had renovated only a few years earlier, while killing the Levi couple and their two children, who were still in their dreams at the time. After that, there was a continuous stream of gunshots. The DK Regiment came in directly from outside the city gate and was about to occupy the entire West Street area. Fortunately, the people of Ron's company and Masters reacted quickly and relied on their familiarity with the environment and military strength to drive the mob out of Wrath Reef City.

It was only after the attack that Ron's company began to set up a warning wind outside the Rage Reef, as well as a watchtower for surveillance. After that, the DK Regiment launched another attack, but this time the well-prepared Angry Reef City made them return without success.

The second attack was followed by a snowstorm. Snow and wind not only became a natural barrier to the DK Regiment, but also restricted the movement of the mob. No one believed that the DK Regiment could fight in such an environment. After all, they were mobs gathered together for their own benefits, not the elite troops of an organization.

Victor stretched and walked out of the bedroom to the clinic downstairs. The clinic was rumbling with activity, and in addition to the residents whose homes had been destroyed in the two attacks, some of them were wounded at Ron's office.

Since Zero left, Victor's clinic had been reopened. Masters had even sponsored a bunch of medical equipment for him. With Victor's medical skills, he might not be as good as a big hospital, but in a small place like Wrath Reef City, Victor, who could perform the operation on his own, was already a well-loved doctor among the citizens.

After the attack of the DK Regiment, Victor was responsible for the treatment of some soldiers who were seriously injured. Ron's company had its own medics, but they were no match for Victor in medical skills. As a result, some of the seriously injured soldiers were sent to Victor's company. To that end, Ron had sent a team of six to protect Jane and to provide Victor with two female paramedics as nurses.

As Victor was walking downstairs, he smelled a faint aroma. It was the smell of roasted meat. Although it was man-made, the added essence made it taste like beef when heated at high temperatures. Victor greedily sucked in two more mouthfuls of the meaty air and turned into the kitchen that had been unused for years.

When Victor's wife, Kaelyn, was still alive, the kitchen belonged to her. After Kaelyn was taken by the wolf, Victor was no longer in the mood to use the kitchen. Then, for the sake of zero, Victor regained his composure. But he bought most of his food from outside, and the doctor didn't cook it himself, so the place was idle for a long time.

Until the arrival of two paramedics, one of them, an Asian woman named Huina, was very good at cooking. Not only was the food for the citizens and wounded soldiers in the clinic her responsibility, but she also cooked Victor's three meals with great care. Huina's cooking techniques were indeed brilliant. Although they were the same ingredients, in her hands, they were able to create different tricks as if she was performing a magic trick.

On the third day of her arrival, Victor had liked what she did. Furthermore, if the crisis was resolved and she left, how would he be able to pass his three meals in the future?

Guided by the scent, Victor could feel his way into the kitchen with his eyes closed. When he walked into the kitchen, he happened to see her busy in the morning light. Huina's height was only about 1.6m, and on the mainland, the average height of a woman was relatively short. But she had a well-proportioned body, and, like most Asian women, her breasts were not large.

However, the twin peaks in the shape of a jade bamboo shoot were abnormally firm. It could prove its pride to the world without any special accessories. Every time he saw her, Victor couldn't help but think that a lot of men were fantasizing about using their hands to hold the twin peaks. Of course, Victor was no exception. If he had not met the doctor before Kaelyn, he might have pursued her intensely. However, the current Victor could only contain one woman in his heart, so he did not intend to find a new mistress for his clinic.

Realizing that Victor had entered the room, Huina revealed a sweet smile and said, ”Mr. Victor, breakfast is almost ready. Can I trouble you to call the others to get up?”

Victor shot a hard look at the lovely breasts and smiled. ”Pleased to help, ma'am.”

Huina and her companion looked at each other and smiled, then continued with their work.

Just as a warm and gentle atmosphere permeated Victor's clinic, the soldiers, Jett, who was standing on the watchtower outside the city, were enduring a bone-piercing chill. Although the sky was beginning to brighten, the snow had stopped falling. However, it was the coldest time of the day. Jett was in his thirties, and had been at Ron's for ten years.

With trembling hands, he sucked in a mouthful of hot air and reached for the wine pot on his waist. The jug of wine was as light as a feather. Even if Jett were to use it to shake the jug, there was no hope of a single drop falling from it. The liquor inside the jug had long since been finished while he was standing guard. If not for this jug of wine, whose accuracy was high enough to burn people, Jett would have been frozen by the cold wind. But now, even though he could only take a sip at a time, he finally finished all the liquor in the pot.

Jett sighed. He rubbed his hands over his body, hoping to rouse some sensation from his numbing limbs. Then he would wait for the shift to change at 7: 00 and go back to his dorm for a good night's sleep.

At that moment, the reflection of something softly pierced Jett's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to attract Jett's attention.

He immediately picked up the telescope in front of his chest and looked in the direction of the light.

It was a snowy hill, and under the raging blizzard a few days ago, snowy hills like this were piled up one by one in the wilderness. It was this that greatly restricted the movement of the mob. Otherwise, the Angry Reef City would not be so peaceful these few days.

Naturally, there was nothing to be suspicious about in a snowy mound. Just as Jett thought he was seeing things and wanted to put down the telescope. Suddenly, he saw the snowy mound move.

The vibration appeared on this snowy hill, caused by a slight movement. Following that, a piece of black metal that was constantly rotating emerged from the snow mound. It constantly ”swallowed” the snow, before shooting up from both sides. Amidst the billowing snow, a special vehicle roared as it worked.

A snowplow!

Jett was no stranger to this kind of vehicle. Ron had two of these plows at his company, and they were the ones who had cleared the snow from the city of Angry Reef. Now, however, the same plows made a passable path through the snow of the wilderness.

Jett quickly moved his binoculars and looked into the distance. Sure enough, behind the snowplow was a winding road that extended into the snowy road on the coastline. Jett saw three converted four-wheel vehicles and a large number of modified motorcycles with chains around their tires.

In one of the SUVs, Jett saw a flag. The flag was dark, with a skull painted in grey. At the bottom of the skull was written ”D. K.” in red paint.

The DK Regiment!

A chill ran through Jett's heart and he tried to warn her. In the telescope he saw a man with a sniper rifle aimed at him. The next moment, the muzzle of the sniper rifle shot out a long stream of flames.

This was the last scene Jett saw. The moment the sniper rifle shot out a flame tongue, his entire body shuddered.
