Chapter 149 Survivors

——Croydon, inside a castle

Decades of vicissitudes have made this castle, once a tourist attraction, somewhat dilapidated due to disrepair.

However, in this wasteland reduced to ashes, a stone castle that can withstand the cold and is durable is one of the few 'homes' that can give survivors a sense of security.

Da~da~da~

"Everyone, hurry up and dig. We must dig out one before winter comes."

Located deep in the castle, dozens of survivors are digging tunnels under the leadership of a middle-aged man.

It is easy to see from the numb expressions on the faces of these survivors that they have long lost hope for their future life, but their desire to survive drives them to keep digging deeper.

They have to dig a cave that is safe enough until they can safely avoid the attacks of the monsters outside and survive this cold winter.

The leading middle-aged man looked at the people working hard with satisfaction, then picked up a pickaxe and joined in the digging.

He and the engineers had calculated that the surrounding stone walls and water pipes were enough to withstand a high temperature of 1,200 degrees, allowing them to survive the harsh winter.

As long as we can persevere, humans will surely defeat these monsters!

"Children can't live on hope, Quinn, I've been following your advice for the past eight years, but what's the result?

But with the scarcity of food, those monsters have begun to cannibalize each other. As long as they can survive longer than the monsters, one day, the world will return to the embrace of humans!

Phew~

Another gust of cold wind blew by, and Quinn was so frightened that he woke up from his nightmare. After confirming the safety of the castle, he couldn't help but get up and go to the stove, preparing to make a cup of hot tea to warm himself.

Every time a monster is killed, humans have to pay hundreds of casualties to their compatriots, and there are millions of such monsters around the world!

Twenty years have passed, and all remaining humans can only live in the shadow of the monsters, trembling in the face of this despair.

"Quinn, Quinn!"

"Damn it, he's going to destroy us all!"

Winter is coming, and he has too many things to be busy with. Moreover, with the help of the lighthouse keepers, he doesn't have to worry about Eddie taking people away.

Suddenly, a guard on guard entered the tunnel with a rifle and shouted to the middle-aged man who was busy digging:

"Eddie is crazy again. He wants to take people to pick fruits in the orchard!"

Looking at Eddie's face full of anger, Quinn suppressed the anger in his heart, took out the keys from the car and retorted:

"How can we not survive? As long as we unite together, we will be able to endure it longer than those monsters!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound from the dozer located at the bedside, and then a piercing alarm sounded throughout the castle!

Quinn, who was pouring tea, shrank his pupils, hurriedly dropped the teapot and rushed out the door, shouting to the adults who also rushed out of the room:

After returning to the castle, Quinn put the key in his room, then continued back into the tunnel, leading the residents to continue digging the tunnel.

Hearing that someone was about to pick off the few fruits they had, the man named Quinn hurriedly handed the pickaxe in his hand to the young man standing aside, and then ran out of the tunnel.

"Quinn, in the orchard!"

After a fierce argument, Quinn left the warehouse with the car keys. This was the responsibility he must bear as the leader.

Twenty years ago, on a sunny morning, he received a notice of tuition increase and was heading to the current construction site to discuss the tuition issue with his mother who was busy excavating ancient ruins.

"I'm taking someone to the orchard, and you can't stop me, Quinn."

Phew~

Late at night, Quinn was lying in bed enjoying a moment of tranquility, but the constant whistling of the wind outside the window made him feel uneasy.

My wife and two children died on the road. I don’t want to lose my only child anymore. Give me the key!”

Da da da da——

"No, as we have said before, more than half of the fruits are still unripe and without seeds, we will not be able to sow seeds next season!"

For a moment, Quinn couldn't help but recall the scene when he first encountered those monsters:

That was the first time he saw those terrifying monsters:

"Take the children to the basement, remember to keep order, don't mess up, and move quickly!"

However, a group of ancient behemoths that fell asleep for unknown reasons were awakened by the sound of construction machines and burned all the workers present to death.

Hearing Quinn's angry roar, Eddie, who was saying goodbye to the children, turned around and responded naturally:

Quinn looked at the young girl behind Eddie and felt a little hesitant, but when he thought of the dozens of children in the castle, he made up his mind and said:

"Even this won't work, Eddie, I will keep the key, and you are not allowed to pay attention to the orchard again!"

However, if nothing else happens, accidents will always happen:

Like, so similar!

Looking at Eddie, who had red eyes in front of him, the guards and residents around him also fell into silence. It has been 28 years. Who can live to this day without losing a family member?

Watching Quinn's figure gradually disappearing, the prayer in Eddie's eyes was gradually replaced by a ray of cold light. In order for his children to live, he didn't mind sacrificing others!

The long claws as sharp as a sickle can easily tear an excavator in half, and the huge body can crush an engineering vehicle to pieces, not to mention the flames that are enough to melt steel!

The garrison in London quickly used missiles and artillery fire to eliminate the first monster that rushed out of the pit. However, before they could be happy, they were horrified to see thousands of monsters pouring out of the pit!

They feed on ashes, and the most terrifying thing is their super reproductive capacity. Even if various countries use nuclear weapons, they cannot compete with their super reproductive capacity.

They are like shadows hidden in the deepest part of the world. Every time they wake up from their sleep, they turn everything in the world into ashes.

Those are used to store grain for the winter, and half of them are still immature. Picking them now is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs!

After arriving at the garage outside the castle, Quinn saw a bald man preparing to get into the car with several women and children, so he hurriedly stepped forward and yelled:

"Hey, what are you going to do!"

"I'm afraid that if we don't survive the next season, we will all starve to death!"

Just as Quinn was about to pick up the child and head to the basement, a woman suddenly stopped him and said with tears in her eyes:

"I'm sorry, Eddie took someone to the vegetable garden secretly last night. He warned me not to tell you, but..."

"Prepare the fire trucks! Everyone, gather in the garage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Quinn hurriedly led people to run towards the garage, preparing to risk his life to go to the orchard to save people.

Not because of how important Eddie is, but because if the monsters notice Eddie, their food for the winter will be completely gone!
