My Doomsday Territory Chapter 7 Crisis During the Night

Chapter 7 Crisis During the Night

During the night, there is only silence.

In a relatively intact villa, several survivors huddled together by the candle light.

“You said that those two really want to build a shelter here?”

“Don’t joke around, shelters aren’t so easy to build, not to mention there are only two of them. So what if they’re strong? Building a shelter isn’t just about being strong.”

“Forget about those two, let’s focus on ourselves. What should we do? It’s now unsafe here. Why don’t we go to the Lindong Shelter? This is a large-scale shelter with an army stationed. As long as we make it there, we won’t have any more worries about demonized beasts attacking us.”

Some people have given proposals, but others aren’t optimistic about these prospects.

“Lindong Shelter is indeed a good choice, but how do we get there? It’s 60 kilometres away from here and this is still in consideration of the distance being a straight-line. If we could’ve easily reached Lindong Shelter, we wouldn’t have chosen to stay in this small shelter in the first place.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else looked back with depressed expressions on their faces.

Originally, when hiding in the underground cold storage area, they thought they were still safe. But a wandering demonized beast almost killed their group. If it weren’t for the two masters who happened to pass by…

Someone suddenly said: “If those two masters are also going to Lindong Shelter, then we can follow them.”

“Hum, if they want to build a shelter, they have no reason to go to Lindong. Even if they do, they won’t necessarily bring us along with them. I think it’s a better idea to find a way to go to those smaller shelters nearby.”

“But why can’t we stay here? Those two masters clearly said that as long as we stay in this villa area, they will be able to ensure our safety.”

However, few people truly believed this.

In their minds, there are only two people on Tang Yu’s side, and there are no signs additional people. Not to mention if they truly faced danger, will those two masters be able to rescue them? Even if they make an attempt, they may not make it in time. The reason why they aren’t optimistic about the building of the shelter is there are too few personnel. No matter how strong they are, it’s impossible to take into account all aspects without more people.

In fact, they also know from the bottom of their hearts that there is no reason for the other party to protect them. However, intellectually, emotionally, everyone wants someone to protect them when danger arrives.

This is only human nature.

Finally, Chen Haiping ended the topic by saying: “Instead of thinking about these things, it’s better to practice marksmanship or swordplay. Even if you can’t awaken, you can still give yourself a slightly higher chance of survival.”

The faintly glowing candle gently flickered on the table.

As Chen Haiping wipes his weapon and was about to say something more. Suddenly, his face changes.

“Be careful!”

Chen Haiping immediately grasped the handle of the machete and solemnly looked out of the balcony window of the villa with dignified eyes.

Two faint points of green light seeped into view in the dark night.

“It’s a demonized beast!” Someone yelled in a panic.

“Didn’t they say the demonized beasts in this area have been cleaned up?!” Someone else yelled in confusion.

“I knew it, with so few people, how can they prevent the demonized beasts from wandering in? Without solid walls and a complete line of defence, how can there be a safe resting place?!”

Chen Haiping didn’t speak but just waved the others back. He knew that this thin balcony window couldn’t block a demonized beast.

All of a sudden… There was a loud boom!

The whole villa suddenly shook as the candle fell to the ground with a snap.

Some people didn’t know what was going on while others cried out in fear. Only Chen Haiping, who had been staring at the demonized beast this whole time, could barely make out the lone figure which fell from the sky, trampling the demonized beast into the ground.

When Chen Haiping finally clearly saw who it was, he recognized the person as the mysterious master in armour from this afternoon. He trampled the demonized beast to death with one stomp.

Others gasped aloud. Although they didn’t see the whole process… But the fate of the demonized beast which infiltrated the area was like a bug being crushed under a boot.

Several people have complicated expressions of their faces. Just now, they said they didn’t trust Tang Yu and spoke ill of him behind his back. They were thinking the other party was only using them for their labour, regardless of whether they live or die. But now…

As soon as the demonized beast appeared, it was trampled to death by the armoured master. Although these people couldn’t see this armoured master’s face, the scene of his back has been firmly imprinted on their pupils.

Instead of immediately leaving, puppet No. 2, who is responsible for guarding the territory, pulled out the long spear behind its back and stabbed at the nearby tall grass.

The spear sounded like thunder!

Striking swiftly and violently!

Before the people in the villa could react, they saw a small demonized beast impaled on top of the long spear. It looked like a piece of skewered meat ready to be roasted on the fire.

The survivors couldn’t believe there was a hidden demonized beast in the tall grass!

Many of the survivors were left terrified. They had no idea what the demonized beast was, they just know this world has become too dangerous.

However, when Chen Haiping took one look at it, he couldn’t pry his eyes away!

This is a sting bug!

Also known as the assassin in the dark!

The reason why Chen Haiping knows this is that the strongest awakened one in his previous shelter have died under the sting bug’s sneak attack. If it weren’t for the sting bug’s ability, the awakened one wouldn’t had died together with the sting bug. If the sting bug didn’t kill the strongest awakened one, the shelter’s defensive line wouldn’t have been filled with holes.

But such a sting bug put up no resistance against the the armoured master, it was just skewered like a regular kebab on the long spear.

Chen Haiping is short of breath and his eyes are wide open. The shock he has experienced today may last longer than his first month of doomsday.

No. 2 drags the sting bug and disappears into the night, leaving only these survivors as witnesses to what had just happened. Many survivors were left wide-eyed and speechless for a long time.

A few minutes later, these people slowly recovered from their initial shock.

“We… Have we survived?”

“Yes.” Some people look in the direction where No. 2 disappeared with expressions of guilt as someone said: “Maybe… We shouldn’t doubt them. Remember what they said. As long as we stay here and work for them, they can guarantee our safety and provide us with enough to eat. I was thinking, maybe we can settle here.”

“Yes, the doomsday is the same everywhere we go. At least by staying here, we can have enough to eat.”

………………

On the territory map, the two red dots slowly disappeared, while on the other side. Several yellow dots representing neutral flicker several times before finally becoming green dots, representing belonging to the same side.

Being a green dot doesn’t mean these people unconditionally trust him. The trust between doomsday survivors isn’t so easily forged. But this kind of change already represents a certain degree of recognition.

This is enough!

Tang Yu came to the clearing at the back of the castle and saw the piles of waste wood at his feet. In the afternoon, after the survivors had carried over the food to the villa area. He asked these people to transport some wood through the gate where No. 1 and No. 2 were guarding.

“At last, I can finally build the first order territorial building.”

The Lord’s Castle isn’t a true territorial building, but the territorial core linked to the territorial level. This is his second day after getting the system, and enough resources have been gathered to build the first building. Tang Yu personally felt his progress was too slow before. He’s thankful for encountering these survivors. Otherwise, he would’ve had to sacrifice No. 1 and No. 2’s valuable time spent hunting down the demonized beasts around the area to perform transportation labour. Heaven knows how long his territorial progress would’ve been delayed.

Opening up the building panel, he selects the pub.

Build!

“Ttiring! To establish the pub will consume 200 units of source crystal and 100 units of wood.”

At present, as if pulled being by an invisible force. The wood laying on the ground flew up into the air and set up the frame for the first order pub.

Then, the source crystal in his pocket dissipates as it turns into spots of light and integrates into the building frame. It looks like the main hall of a city which has just been built. The building frame of the pub in front of him is going through many changes. Eventually, a medieval-style pub appeared in front of Tang Yu.

Tang Yu couldn’t wait to enter the pub.

The pub wasn’t very large, it only has one floor with the building covering an area of 50 by 60 square meter. The pub has several tables and chairs and only one counter. But Tang Yu also saw the shelves behind the counter lined up and filled with drinks.

This truly looks just like an ordinary pub. It wasn’t as gorgeous as the Lord’s Castle, but this is only for superficial appearances. The true function of the pub is to recruit adventurers.

This is what Tang Yu needs the most at present. As long as he pays a certain price, he can sign a contract with an adventurer and obtain their allegiance.

Whether it’s to develop the territory or to complete his other plans, he must have sufficient manpower to carry out these tasks. Among these tasks, trustworthy personnel are particularly indispensable.
