Chapter 151 - 133: Outer Camp of Safe Zone 1

Chapter 151: Chapter 133: Outer Camp of Safe Zone 1

He’d been in Elk Village for almost a year.

The three captains also represented the three factions of Elk Camp—or, to be more precise, its three types of elites.

Veterans, Lost from the Outer City, and talented newcomers.

Village Chief Chen said, "Judging by your expressions, the mission went quite well?"

Luo Susu said, "Quite well? It was... it was an absolute rout, a hunt, a slaughter. The only difference is that it’s always been the aberrants slaughtering us humans. This time, the tables were finally turned!"

She described the process in great detail.

When he heard that dozens of Fallen Dream experts had appeared all at once, even Chen Jianghuai—a man who had seen much, who was already a Transcendent and a high-ranking official of the Great Xia before the cataclysm—couldn’t help but be shocked.

"Overwhelming a Nightmare with sheer numbers... what a brilliant tactic!"

To be able to use superior numbers and gather so many experts—that in itself is the most formidable tactic of all.

’Could there really be a day when we humans can hunt down aberrants?’

Chen Jianghuai knew this was an extremely rare situation, but he couldn’t help but wonder. If humanity could one day stop fearing Nightmares, if they could continuously hunt down aberrants, it would surely usher in an incredibly brilliant new era.

Luo Susu and Shi Han then mentioned that the Safe Zone was willing to take them in.

She didn’t know they could travel directly to the Safe Zone’s main base via the Watchtower, but she had been told that the Safe Zone would establish a camp at the Fire Radiance Stone Mine.

Most importantly,

the Fire Radiance Stone Mine wasn’t too far from their location.

An expert at her level, the Third Refinements Realm, could reach it in just a few hours on foot.

Ordinary people certainly couldn’t travel that fast, but at least it was possible for them to get there.

If they had to travel to one of those other camps—the ones that took even captains like them ten days to half a month to reach—then it would be absolutely impossible for ordinary people.

Luo Susu added, "That Captain Li Feng, the one who relayed the Manager’s instructions, also said that if we decide to migrate, the Safe Zone can dispatch some Refining Stage squads to help escort us."

"Village Chief, are we going to move to the Fire Radiance Stone Mine?"

After saying all this, seeing the Village Chief hadn’t responded, Luo Susu paused before adding, "Village Chief, we could also hire experts from the Safe Zone to help us root out that intelligent aberrant hiding nearby!"

"If we can eliminate that aberrant, we can resolve Elk Camp’s greatest crisis. As for the food and water shortages, we can trade with the Safe Zone."

In her view, no matter how short the journey to the Fire Radiance Stone Mine was, there were bound to be accidents along the way.

Some of the familiar faces in the village... they might never see them again.

Besides, the Fire Stone Camp was newly built. Whether or not it could even last was another question entirely.

’Wouldn’t getting rid of the intelligent aberrant outside our own camp be the right course of action? We even have outside help now, and strong help at that.’

Wu Feng chimed in, "Yes, Village Chief. Elk Camp is our home. Relying on others means living under someone else’s roof."

But Shi Han sneered, "What time is it to be clinging to the little bit of power you have? If we don’t move, the aberrant tide will hit, and Elk Camp will be wiped out!"

Wu Feng fell silent and looked at the Village Chief.

Chen Jianghuai was silent for a moment. "Let’s move. Since the camp the Safe Zone is building is within our reach, we’ll relocate. They’re even willing to send escorts to help. For us, this is already a great stroke of luck."

A hint of worry clouded his features.

Luo Susu and Wu Feng no longer objected.

The Village Chief was Elk Camp’s only Transcendent.

As a Transcendent, he naturally knew inside information that they didn’t. The Village Chief’s insistence on moving probably meant that they had truly reached a point where they would not survive if they didn’t.

’But what exactly is this intelligent aberrant that’s spying on the camp?’

And there was one other thing.

If Elk Village were to relocate, with dozens of people setting off, could they really hide from the aberrant secretly watching them?

Chen Jianghuai felt like he was overlooking something.

He furrowed his brow.

"An intelligent aberrant..."

"Never mind. I won’t dwell on it. We have a way out now. All I need to do is focus on preparing for the move."

In his subconscious, thoughts straying in other directions were once again instinctively ignored.

...

DING!

Notice: The Rare Building ’Lighthouse’ has been completed.

It took two days.

It consumed countless Materials.

The Watchtower was finally upgraded into the Lighthouse that Shi An had been longing for.

The Lighthouse’s outer walls were white, and it stood over thirty meters tall.

A soft, orange-yellow light radiated from the top of the tower.

It wasn’t intense or glaring, but like the rising sun at dawn, it dispelled all the surrounding gloom and chill.

Just as when the Watchtower was completed, Shi An’s perspective soared infinitely high, sweeping over the surrounding areas.

The detection range was three times greater than the Watchtower’s.

Shi An saw a giant shadow wandering in the gray fog—a crimson giant.

Shi An saw hundreds of human figures hanging upside down on the outer wall of a tall building. They seemed to be a single entity, a truly terrifying aberrant.

Shi An also saw a strange Treasure Tree growing in the middle of some ruins.

He also saw a camp in the distance.

He spotted Luo Susu, Shi Han, and the others.

It was Elk Camp.

This ’higher-dimensional-overview state’ lasted only for a brief moment, but a map of the area around the Lighthouse had already been drawn and integrated into the Safe Zone’s system.

"Not only that, the chill and sense of foreboding have been tangibly dispelled."

"Tower One is still attacked by aberrants from time to time, but now that the Lighthouse is built..."

Shi An saw that the aberrants stepping into the mine’s area had become fearful.
