Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 214: The Underground City
Natan did not expect this kind of thing, the Guard turned out to have a different form than he had imagined. Then looking at the injuries sustained, it should have suffered a terrible fight, and certainly not fight at the origin of the place.
He took a deep breath, then disappeared from where he stood.
When Natan reappeared, he was already on top of where the barren land was. He asked the Skeleton Earth Mage to seal the hole, returning everything as before to remove any traces of excavation.
"Now, what else should I do? Mother asked to Africa maybe because of this, but after getting it, then what?"
Natan was completely confused without any purpose. The first goal is to live, now he has lived well, even met again with his beloved mother. The second goal is to build a safe place for his people and people who want to come, and that has already materialized.
"Do you just have to kill the Ancestors Monster?"
Natan jumped up, sitting on top of Kuro. He waved his hand, revealing hundreds of holograms that floated in front of Kuro. "Go there, I just saw a strange movement behind the ruins."
On the image in the hologram, it captured an image of the stadium that had been flattened but still left rubble strewn about. Earlier, he noticed a strange movement, as if someone was hiding there but didn't know what, and Natan didn't want to send the skeleton any further to check on him.
Nathan turned the hologram in front into a red arrow. He asked Kuro to follow the arrow in front of him.
As for why not teleport as usual, it was because his ability was still in a period of cooling after he teleported from the underground chamber.
Kuro ran at high speed until it looked like a shadow in the air, his speed already exceeding the speed of sound.
Natan closed her eyes, waiting for Kuro to take her to the set place. The place is not too far away, but the terrain is quite difficult because a lot of ground cracks to form a deep canyon, making the trip must turn the road.
Although far enough to turn the road, but not to make it use the ability of Teleport.
When he reached the ruins, he did not enter directly, but rather stayed at a higher place and kept his distance from the ruins.
Natan used binoculars to look at it, he saw that there were rocks arranged to form a kind of gate, and in front of him there was a guard.
"Seeing from the color of the skin, they are not a native race. Are they the ones summoned through the Scroll of Human Summoning?"
Seeing that there were guards there, Natan began to recall about the underground city managed by the Beijing Government. He thought that there was an underground city here to avoid monsters or natural conditions that did not allow it to stay on the surface.
Natan hesitated, she was still at a loss as to whether to go there or not. "But I've come this far. There might be another reason why Mom asked me to go here."
Natan pondered, he recalled again about the Player who tried to kill him and he got the strange scroll he found from the opponent's body. He clenched his hand, took a deep breath and walked over.
He had already taken the decision to check the ruins there.
Natan did not bring Kuro, or rather hid Kuro inside his shadow in order not to attract attention.
"Stop right there!"
Natan was stopped by the middle-aged man on guard, wearing clothes like a man from the military, but wearing a brown cloth to cover his face up to the neck.
"I want to go in." Natan took out a Level 500 Magic Stone.
Looking at the Magic Stone Natan had taken out, the middle-aged man looked at his partner, then nodded before letting Natan in.
"There's a rule inside, I don't care where you come from, but don't make a mess. Otherwise, security will come, and if security cannot stop, the ruler will intervene."
Natan who stepped past the two middle-aged men, stopped and asked, "Who is this ruler?"
"No need to ask too many questions!"
Natan stepped back as her body was pushed. In the dark passageway formed from the ruins, the temperature here was quite hot despite being protected by the rocks above.
Natan looked at the Player list, and the Armonia Guild still dominated the list. No matter in terms of power, wealth or territory owned.
If the other guilds only controlled a small territory, the Armonia Guild had already begun to spread and had almost taken control of the entire Sichuan Province. If there was more manpower, the Armonia Guild had already spread its wings to cover the entire Sichuan, but due to the lack of manpower, it was only silent on the spot.
As Natan continued to step up, she suddenly realized that the path she was walking along was starting to decline. The drop is not much, but it can still be felt from time to time because the incoming sunlight is getting less and the air circulation is getting more difficult.
"I'm going around in circles." Nathan could sense that this path was spiraling downward.
...
Tens of minutes later, Natan could see the light in front of him. Not knowing how far he had walked, but if it was still not there, he really intended to destroy this passageway to make a shortcut.
This light was extremely bright, like a white room augmented by lights in every corner.
Natan closed her eyes from being too dazzling, and after passing through the gate of light, she blinked her eyes many times. He opened his eyes, looked around, this place was not as luxurious as expected, but it was still incredible.
The building is made of concrete with an average height sufficient for a two-story building. The streets were made of stacked stone blocks, the street lighting was made of Magic Stones emitting orange-colored rays.
The ceiling is directly met with solid rocks, the height is about 100 meters from the surface of the ground.
Seeing this, Natan guessed that this underground city was at least 300 to 500 meters from the ground level above.
As Natan walked, he saw people here covering their faces as if trying to hide their identity, but strangely the skin parts like hands and feet were shown.
"Seeing from the color of the skin, some come from Asia and Europe. What is this place? There was no way they would all come because of a vacation, and after months together building this place. I'd rather believe they crossed the ocean and purposely came here." Natan muttered while still walking and looking around.
"It looks like you're new here."
Natan stopped, turned to the right looking at the large figure hiding her appearance. The figure was more than two meters tall, and looking from the muscles of his hands, it was felt capable of crushing coconut trees with a hug.
"Yes, I just came today" replied Natan.
The figure nodded his head and said, "Because the guard in front let you in, then you are qualified to be able to come here."
Nathan frowned. He did not know what conditions were set, was a Level 500 Magic Stone the condition? He felt it was not that, perhaps the main condition was wealth.
"What is this place?" Nathan is starting to be wary of this place.
The figure was silent for a moment, and although its appearance was hidden, it was somehow Natan could see the grin behind the cloth.
"This is the City of Heaven! You can do anything here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything. You can buy information, you can buy rare items, including internal organs like the heart and liver. You can even buy a woman to play with or kill!"
The figure stretched out his hands, revealing his large arms, and the skull hanging on his arms was visible.
Natan stunned. Looking at this skull, he could tell that the owner had only died for about a few days. There was still flesh stuck to the bone.
"Haha!" The huge figure laughed out loud, patting Natan on the shoulder. "Come, I'll take you to the famous restaurant here. The most expensive and popular food here is roasted human liver!"
Natan was speechless, but he did not reject his invitation, not because he wanted to try to eat the human heart, but because he wanted to investigate about “Ruler” that the guard said in front.
