Chapter 45: The Salvation Alliance

10 minutes!

Enoch had only spent 10 minutes in order to annihilate the first wave of attacks!

Not to mention that he had spent six of those minutes watching the swaying zombies walk toward him with difficulty.

The battle didn’t last long.

The Pea Shooters were all excellent snipers, so every pea bullet accurately penetrated the zombies’ heads.

These zombies didn’t have a shred of intelligence and only knew how to follow their most primitive instincts. When they faced the Pea Shooters’ attacks, they didn’t even think of dodging. They only walked toward Enoch in a daze. 

Under the Pea Shooters’ attacks, their heads were shot one after another, turning into bodies covered in pus and blood. They fell heavily to the ground.

“Don’t tell me I have to get rid of the bodies of these zombies!?”

Enoch looked at the foul-smelling corpses with some disgust.

Although Enoch wasn’t afraid of these zombies, he despised them.

In Enoch’s eyes, these zombies were all dirty things. Their bodies were emitting a rotten smell, and they were covered in highly rotten pus. They looked particularly disgusting.

Therefore, Enoch was very repulsed by the thought of touching these things. He believed that no normal person would like to deal with such disgusting things.

Enoch was one of them.

So now, Enoch was pondering whether he should order Lightning and its mischief to throw out those corpses.

It was too disgusting after all!

Enoch could even smell the rotten stench in the air, which made him even more unhappy.

Just as Enoch was about to order Lightning and its underlings to take action, the zombies’ corpses suddenly turned into a black mist that filled the sky. Then, under the repelling force of an unknown power, they were directly expelled from the floating island.

Enoch suddenly stopped. “What is this?”

Enoch was surprised upon seeing this scene and made a few speculations in his heart.

He also noticed that the black fog, which had entered his floating island, immediately receded after the zombies were killed.

“The black fog can’t enter the floating island directly, but it can send zombies and monsters into the floating island. In other words, as long as these monsters occupy the floating island, it will become a part of the black fog.” Enoch speculated. 

“It’s a very simple tower defense game, but the price of failure is too high!” he whispered softly, but his eyes were shining as he contemplated further.

Things would not end so easily. What was the Netherworld? What was the black fog? What was the relationship between these things? Why did the so-called Netherworld occupy Earth? What was the Divine Tree Realm?

All of these questions were haunting Enoch.

Now that the whole world had become like this, any small mistake could lead to life-extinguishing failure.

Therefore, Enoch needed to remain vigilant, be it against people, other creatures, or even the Divine Tree Realm itself!

Enoch would not completely trust anything. He still had some doubts even when it came to the content of his conversation with Alice.

In this perilous world, survivors should be wary of everything.

This was the only way they could survive in this world.

They should prioritize their own safety at all times because this was an apocalyptic world!

Enoch did not know what others thought, but he only trusted his plans and decisions.

In Enoch’s view, only in this way could he ensure his own safety.

If one easily believed in others and the other party betrayed them, they would become the ultimate victim in this world.

Enoch absolutely did not want to face this, so he must harbor a certain degree of doubt about everything to avoid this kind of ending.

This was the only way for Enoch to survive, and it was also the best way.

“At the moment, everything seems to be going according to the system’s instructions. No accidents should occur.”

After carefully observing his surroundings, Enoch could basically confirm that he was safe. At the very least, nothing dangerous would happen in the short term.

Enoch heaved a sigh of relief and opened the chat channel.

“I have two zombies here, but I’ve taken care of them!”

“I only have one zombie here. When it first appeared, it scared me to death. But soon, I realized that this zombie isn’t any threat at all. As long as I’m serious, I can easily kill it.”

“So scary! I almost thought I was going to die here!”

“WUUUUUU! I’m so scared! Can someone help me? I don’t want to fight!”

“Coward! You don’t need to be afraid of these zombies. These ridiculous zombies aren’t our opponents at all!”

Enoch looked at the conversations in the chat channel and couldn’t help but frown.

“Are these people really not aware of the problem at all?”

Enoch felt very strange because this was only the first attack. There would be a second attack 20 minutes later, and it would be even more dangerous than the first one.

Unexpectedly, these people were lax, as if they didn’t care at all.

This made Enoch feel a little strange. This could only mean two possibilities.

One was that they didn’t have to defend against a second wave. They only needed to finish off the first wave.

But this possibility was almost ludicrous.

Then there was only the second possibility. They were deliberately avoiding this question. Or rather, they were deliberately hiding this point.

“Humans are indeed ugly.”

After Enoch figured this out, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

These people could avoid this problem, or rather, they didn’t want to think about it.

Since no one knew if they could survive the second wave, they didn’t want to discuss this problem. They just wanted to enjoy this moment of peace.

But in this way, the situation would be dangerous for many people who hadn’t cleared the first wave.

Many of them were hiding, not fighting.

Once the second wave came, they would be attacked from both sides, and more people would die.

Nonetheless, Enoch did not care too much about it. These matters had nothing to do with him, after all.

Enoch suddenly saw a message just as he was about to close the chat channel.

“The Salvation Alliance reminds everyone that the second wave will arrive in 18 minutes. Please be prepared..”
