Chapter 239: Puppets (edited)

Livingstone was just about to say something when suddenly, Storm pounced towards him.

This was something that was completely out of Livingstone’s expectations. He had not expected that Storm was going to attack him just because of what he had said.

But still, he was able to react fast. He wanted to move to the side to dodge the attack that was being launched by Storm. But, due to the fact that the distance between the two of them was only about 5 m, and Storm had attacked so unexpectedly, Livingstone was not able to get out of the way fast enough.

Slash!

The sharp claws cut Livingstone into two halves from the waist. With a large amount of blood surging out of the wound, Livingstone collapsed onto the ground.

At this moment, he could not feel much pain because his body had gone numb for a moment. But, he could feel that he had completely lost control of his lower limbs and at the same time, his vitality was fading away fast.

The three people that had been brought over with Livingstone were horrified after seeing what had happened. They had not expected that Livingstone was going to be attacked.

Of course, they had already gotten used to Livingstone being cruel. So, they of course did not get surprised the moment that he said that he was going to kill Henry and his group.

But, what they had not expected was that the wolf that was left behind was actually this strong. And, Livingstone was taken down in just a single attack, without even being given a chance of resisting.

Their bodies began trembling when Storm looked in their direction. At this point, their heartbeat had already increased drastically, and if they were given a chance, they would have definitely ran away from here.

It was just that, they knew that even if they wanted to get out of here, they would definitely not be capable of doing so. They had already seen the speed that Storm possessed. So all they could do was to hope that Storm would not attack them.

"Aaaaargh!"

At this moment, a scream that was filled with anger and pain suddenly echoed into the air. And the moment that this scream rang into the air, the four present could not help but look at Livingstone dumbfoundedly.

It had already been almost a minute after he had collapsed onto the ground, and it was only now that he was screaming? Could it be that he was only realizing right now that he had been cut into two?

Although the three people had already gotten used to seeing people die, and even seeing the zombies tearing apart people while they were alive, they could not help but feel a little nauseous when they looked at Livingstone.

Currently, the guy was rolling onto the ground. And, due to his movements, several of his innards suddenly began getting out of his body in the area that was cut.

Currently, Livingstone was bleeding profusely. Storm had attacked decisively, and the cut was precise, separating the two parts of Livingstone’s body.

Irritated, Storm moved forward and approached Livingstone who was rolling on the ground while screaming. Then, he looked at him coldly and said, "You better learn your lesson right now. If you had been a little patient and thought of something like that after we have left, then, you would have survived, perhaps.

But, since you tried to have some malicious thoughts towards my master, then, you will have to pay for that."

Storm’s voice was deep like that of a 30-year-old man. Immediately after he said that, he crushed Livingstone skull with a stomp. And with that, Livingstone was killed, completely eliminated from this world.

The three people were petrified. This was the first time that they were seeing a monster that was capable of speech. Additionally, they did not know what they were supposed to do after Livingstone was killed.

Storm looked at the three people and said, "I will give this warning right now. You better not try thinking about doing anything funny. Because if you do, then, I will definitely kill you right now."

Immediately after saying that, Storm ignored the group and headed towards the direction where the Jeep was located.

As for the three people, they finally felt relieved. At this point, they had already decided in their hearts that they were not going to go against Henry and his group.

Moreover, it was not as if they were sad at the fact that Livingstone was dead. Livingstone was a tyrant, and if they were given a chance, they would have definitely taken him out. It was just that, they did not have the strength of doing so.

"What should we do right now?" One of the men asked.

"Isn’t it obvious? We remain silent about what happened here. It is not as if we are the ones that are supposed to be giving explanation about what happened to that idiot." Another responded.

"But what about his son? His son is so strong. If we really go back without Livingstone, then, we are definitely the ones that are going to suffer if we don’t give good explanation about how Livingstone died." The other one stated.

"Why do you care about something like that? It is not as if we came over to babysit this guy. At the end of the day, he is stronger than us."

"That’s right. Even if his son is angry, then, what is he going to do? Livingstone was killed without even a chance of resisting. So, do you think that his son will be capable of doing anything to that wolf?"

"Anyway, it doesn’t matter. As long as we don’t do anything wrong, then I’m pretty sure that we are going to be able to survive."

Having already made a decision of their own, the group did not leave this area. Instead, they decided to wait for Henry and his group to come out of the ruins. Only then would they be able to go back to the camp because if they went there alone, then, there would be nothing good waiting for them.

...

After entering into the cave, Henry and his group were blinded. They could not see anything, and for some reason, their senses of hearing had also been restricted slightly.

Henry acted immediately. Using the fire element, he conjured a fireball, but did not release it so that it was used to light up the surroundings. But, the fireball had just been conjured when it was suddenly consumed by the darkness in the surrounding area.

"What the heck!" Adam could not help but exclaim after seeing what had happened. He was not the only one who was surprised, Henry and the rest of the group were surprised as well.

"I can feel that the fireball is still present. It is just that, the light that it is giving out has been consumed completely. But still, the fire element is present." Henry stated.

The group could not understand what was going on. But, they decided to keep on moving forward. The group moved with their guards raised up. They were ready to act in case anything happened.

After about 2 minutes of walking, the group finally felt that they were going through a membrane or something of the sort.

And the moment that they went through that membrane, a blinding light suddenly hit them. The group squinted their eyes, before slowly adjusting to the sudden change of light.

After about 5 seconds, the group was able to finally see clearly. Their surroundings had changed completely. Currently, it was as if they had entered another city. It was just that, this city was devastated completely, with several buildings already collapsed.

From how they could see it, they thought that there was definitely a fight that had occurred here a long time ago. Traces of battle could be seen everywhere.

Just as the group was trying to get familiar with their environment, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching them from a distance.

When they looked over, they saw that there was actually a swarm of people that was charging towards them. This surprised them. After all, from the information that they had received from Livingstone, it was clear that there was nobody inside here, other than the monsters.

But right now, they themselves had not seen even a single monster here. But, they were actually seeing a large group of people that was charging towards them.

Of course, they could tell that this group did not come with good intentions due to the fact that there was killing intent that was surging from them.

[Puppet

Power level: Level 9 bronze rank

Affinity: ???

Skills: ???]

Henry was surprised after looking at the information of the people that were coming in front of them. It turned out that the ones that were coming towards them were not people, but instead, they were actually puppets.

Of course, what surprised him was the fact that they looked like normal humans. But, after observing them clearly, although he could not see everything in a very clear way due to the distance between them, but, Henry could feel that there was actually no spirit within the eyes of the group that was charging over.

"What the f*ck! Are you kidding me? This information is false. I swear that after I get out of here, I will make sure that I kill that idiot. How dare he give us Information like this? Monsters? These are damn puppets! And the power level? Level 9 of the bronze rank from the start? This is definitely going to be a lot of trouble to deal with if we enter deeper!" Adam cursed angrily.

Henry on the other hand could not help but frown a little. From the information that he had received, he had actually not been capable of seeing the skills and the affinity that the puppets possess. That was the first time.

From his experience, he could see the skills and affinity of the members of the other races. As for the human race, he could see the affinity, but he was not capable of seeing the skills that they possessed.

"Let’s clear out this group first. There’s only about 20 of them. After that, we have to be cautious while inside here." Henry instructed when he realized that the group of puppets was already closer.
