Chapter 139: Love at First Sight?

Chapter 139: Love at First Sight?

This group of people that had arrived were actually members of a fighting club before the apocalypse descended. And when it arrived, it was just during the time that they were having a tournament.

At that time, they banded together and decided that they were going to form a base of their own. So, during the time that the monsters attacked, they hardly left the area, and looked for a safe place to hide.

It was only after they had killed one monster that they suddenly realized that, by killing the monsters, they were getting stronger. So, they no longer hesitated and neither did the they continue hiding.

As such, they set out and began hunting the monsters, getting stronger and stronger. After a while, they were given the option to select a profession that they liked.

With that, they became even stronger. And during the time that the zombies finally arrived, they had already become strong enough to protect themselves. Although some of the members of the fighting club had also turned into zombies, the rest of the group did not hesitate to kill them.

Despite the fact that they were brothers, that did not imply that they were not going to kill a zombie that had already bitten one of them.

During the time that they were killing the monsters, they had already begun collecting several equipments. And with that, they became even stronger, becoming a dominating force.

Of course, they also knew about the importance of stocking food. Since the apocalypse had already descended, and they also received the prompt informing them about the apocalypse, they decided to create their own base.

Of course, they had the same mentality as Henry. They were not going to take in any weakling. Instead, they were going to agree for a person to join them only if they proved to be strong enough to be useful during fights.

But of course, there was always an exception. But, the exception only applied to the leader of the group. That was the strongest person before the apocalypse, and even during the apocalypse, he became even stronger.

They had been going around the city, looking for supplies that they were going to stock in their own base. And of course, they were surprised when they realized that, the zombies that were dominating the entire streets of the city had suddenly disappeared.

Then, they came to realize that there was a place that had several bones. Despite the fact that they did not understand how the bones appeared there, they knew that they were bones of human bodies.

At that time, they suddenly felt that there might actually be a force that might be stronger than them. So, they became ruthless. For that reason, if they found that there was a base that had been set up, as long as they did not have enough strength to resist them, this group would go ahead and kill them. After that, they would take away their supplies.

And now, they had met with a few people that had left this territory. That group was already having grudges against this territory. So, they informed this group that there was a territory ahead that possessed incredible resources.

And after hearing this, the group of course came over. Although not all of them, but still, each group of the base that they belong to consisted of only elites.

"Do you guys perhaps know when this building appeared? I have been to this side of the city in the past, but I have never seen it." One of the bulky men carrying a great sword said as he looked at the majestic territorial building.

"Neither have I. Anyway, the apocalypse is strange. So, it will not be strange if some other things begin popping out of nowhere." Another one replied nonchalantly.

"Let’s try and see if we can break this barrier that is in front of us. They might have gotten something that is able to shroud the entire base. So, we will have to look for the weakness so that we can break through it." The leader of the group who was currently at the first level of the Bronze rank stated.

In the entire group, he was the only one who had reached the Bronze rank. As for the rest, they were either level 8 or 9 of Rank O.

"Got it." A man who was muscular, of course more muscular than the rest, stepped forward. He was carrying a large hammer that was perhaps used in a steel -related industry.

"Let me test this thing out. Even though the cars are actually strong, I don’t believe that they are stronger than me." The man stated as he prepared himself to smash the hammer that he was carrying onto the barrier.

He was currently at the 9th level of Rank O . So, among the group, he was actually considered strong, only second to the leader of the group.

After taking a deep breath, the guy pulled back, before swinging the hammer towards the barrier.

Bang!

A huge explosion rang in the air. At the same time, a small shockwave was created. The man was forced to retreat by the recoil of hitting the barrier, while at the same time, the wooden handle of the hammer that he was carrying broke.

Thud!

The head of the hammer dropped onto the ground with a loud thud. As for the guy who had been wielding the hammer, he looked at the barrier in front of him with horror clear in his eyes.

He could not believe what had just happened. The hammer that he was using had been used to crush several rocks, even cars. And all this while, it had never broken.

But now, after hitting the barrier, other than the fact that he was pushed backwards, the hammer that he was so proud of was also broken. It seemed that he needed to look for another handle.

"What is it? You cannot break it?" The leader of the group asked with a frown on his face.

"There is something strange with this barrier. Not only is it strong, but it can also rebound the attack that it’s subjected to." The muscular guy replied.

"Anyway, it doesn’t seem like we can break it easily. Let us look for a way that we can use to convince those inside to let us in." The leader of the group stated as he looked inside of the barrier.

The presence of the barrier did not prevent them from seeing what was going on inside. And now, he could see that there was a lady that was looking at them with an indifferent expression on her face.

The leader was actually amazed by the temperament of the lady in front of him. At that moment, unknowingly, he had fallen in love at first sight.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Olivia and said, "Hey beauty! Can you remove this barrier so that we can talk?"

He had already decided that they were not going to kill her. Although he could not change the fact that they were supposed to eliminate all the other forces that were present inside Crystal city, but at least, he believed that he was capable of saving this beauty from getting killed.

"Scram!" Olivia responded in a cold tone. This group come over to cause trouble. So, there was no way that she was going to be nice to them. Instead, had it not been for the fact that she was lazy to deal with them, she would have already gone out and killed all of them.

Just from the expressions on their faces, she could tell that they did not have any good intentions. Additionally, she could feel that there was a thick killing intent that was surrounding them.

That implied that, they had already killed a lot of people. But, that was not something that she cared about. Instead, what she really wanted to do the most was to wait for Diana to come. After that, they would have to look for a method that they were going to use to make sure that Henry woke up.

The smile that was on the leader’s face froze after he heard what Olivia had just said. Scram? This was the first time that he was being talked to like that by anyone other than the leader. In fact, even the leader have to give him some respect.

But now, just because this lady believed that they were going to be prevented by the barrier from entering, she was just talking to him rudely?

"I would advise you to behave. Additionally, you better open up this barrier around here, rather than making us break it." With a forced smile on his face, the leader stated.

Currently, he knew that the priority of the matter was to enter into the territory. After that, they would be able to do what they wanted. As for the lady in front of him, he would look for a method of dealing with her after he entered.

Olivia did not respond. There was no need for her to continue arguing with some clowns. Instead, she simply closed her eyes as she tried to look deeper into the inheritance that she had been given.

Ice manipulation. During the time that she had been standing outside here, other than worrying about Diana’s safety, she was also thinking about the inheritance.

She had already been informed about how the ice manipulation was going to work. It was just that, she felt that she needed a lot of time to be able to easily control the energy in her body, to form the ice.

So far, she felt that she was not that far away from beginning to summon the ice element without using the skills that she possessed.

The leader of the group realized that he had been completely ignored. He was immediately angered. At this moment, he decided that after they managed to enter here, he was going to make sure that he punished Olivia thoroughly.

"All of you listen! I want you all..." The leader looked at the group that he had come over with, and began giving commands.

But, his speech was interrupted when suddenly, as his mouth was still open giving an order, an arrow suddenly pierced him from behind, and went through his mouth.
