Chapter 13 - 010: Rescuing Survivors

Chapter 13: Chapter 010: Rescuing SurvivorsAt this moment, not far from Hope Village, beside a river, a group of people were resting.

Since the Doomsday Game began yesterday, most of them had gradually learned how to battle demon beasts in the midst of fleeing and had obtained a number of supplies from the beasts, allowing them to survive.

However, these supplies did not include water, so they had to

But Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng weren't about to give them that chance. They exchanged a look and seamlessly abandoned their Long Spears for Iron Axes, opting for close-combat which the rest of the Guard Team followed suit.

Then, even though the Shadow Demon Dogs left wounds and their Life Values began to drop, they kept hacking away relentlessly, understanding the fight was a matter of life and death.

With the advantage in numbers, the Shadow Demon Dogs were hit repeatedly, their Blood Bars dropped, and they died one after the other.

[Congratulations Host, for killing a lv.4 Shadow Demon Dog, you have obtained 4 sharp teeth, 4 Shadow Boots, 40 Experience Points, and 40 copper coins.]

With the demise of the leading Shadow Hound, the crisis had quietly come to an end.

They had been saved!

The rescued group quickly realized this and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

And for those who had lost family to the Shadow Demon Dogs, they wept uncontrollably at the sight of the indistinct remains.

Even as those remains would eventually vanish with the game's reset, the shadow cast upon their hearts would not disappear.

Zhou Zhengping sighed internally as he watched this unfold.

They had just received a mission to rescue the displaced at a designated location, and had rushed there following the map.

But they were still too late.

Li Xingteng stepped forward to offer comfort, "We are from Hope Village's Guard Team. Quick, gather yourselves and we'll head to the territory; it can fend off the Demon Beasts, and you'll be safe once we're there."

The word "safe" hit a sensitive nerve in their hearts.

One by one, they collected themselves, ready to follow.

Those who were injured were also helped along.

After the Doomsday Game manifested, their bodies seemed to become digitized too. When injured, their Life Values would drop, but with timely healing and the passage of time, Life Values would slowly recover, and wounds would heal along with them.

Hence, as long as a person wasn't dead, nobody would give up.

The group followed Zhou Zhengping toward Hope Village, a glint of hope in their eyes.

Elsewhere, Zhou Bai sighed with relief at the sight of several small green dots moving toward the territory on the Lord Map.

Receiving news of displaced people entering the territory, she glanced at the map and saw red dots slowly surrounding a group of green dots; she immediately issued a mission to the Guard Team.

Fortunately, they had made it in time, but Zhou Bai knew some green dots had still vanished, which weighed her mood down.

In this Doomsday Game, human lives were so fragile! If she had not been lucky enough to obtain the Lord Token, her family would have been in dire straits.

"Everything alright?" Ding Qiurou asked, regarding Zhou Bai's changing expressions with concern.

"It's fine now; they're on their way back. However, quite a few people died before they could get here," Zhou Bai replied succinctly.

Listening to this, Ding Qiurou's expression turned a bit melancholic, but she tried to console Zhou Bai, "You've done what you could. Don't overthink it."

"Right," Zhou Bai understood. In this Doomsday Game, overthinking was only tormenting oneself. Instead of dwelling on those who had died, it was better to think about how to build up the territory, to shelter oneself, one's family, and others.

Her gaze then returned to the Lord Map.

The small green and red dots were very significant! They had to be utilized properly!

Moreover, it was necessary to let those outside the territory know of its existence, so they could find refuge there, and to also provide more sources of combat strength for the territory.
