My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

The next day, the weather was sunny.

Tang Yu placed a black backpack on the passenger seat and drove the SUV slowly.

Everything is ready; let's set off for Lindong.

Tang Yu was very much looking forward to seeing what the Lin Dong Shelter, rumored to house hundreds of thousands of survivors, would look like.

He had heard a lot of rumors about Lindong.

This shelter was built in the early days of the apocalypse. When communication was still possible, there were broadcasts calling on survivors to go to Lin Dong on their own.

The army also dispatched many rescue teams, bringing survivors to Lindong in batches, which is why the Lindong shelter has hundreds of thousands of people.

However, the army's strength is limited, so it can only selectively send out rescue teams. Tang Yu's survivor team was too far away from the rescue team and ultimately failed to catch up, so they had to settle for the Green Shade Shelter instead.

These small shelters were also built by the military on behalf of various parties, in order to provide a place of refuge for survivors who could not reach the military's rescue efforts in the post-apocalyptic world. The military also provided a lot of supplies to these shelters for this purpose.

only.

As the post-apocalyptic environment worsened day by day, the military stopped sending out rescue teams... They could only save a few survivors on a single trip, but they would consume a large amount of ammunition and supplies. Even if the military had reserves, they couldn't afford to keep up with the demand.

Even the delivery of supplies has become less and less frequent. At least since Tang Yu established his territory, he has never seen any military planes delivering supplies. He can understand this. There are more and more demonic beasts, including many flying demonic beasts. The situation in the sky is no longer dominated by humans.

The wilderness outside the shelter may gradually lose its traces of past prosperity in a few months or years.

Small and medium-sized shelters are also in dire straits.

Only large shelters like Lindong have preserved a significant amount of human civilization and technology, much of which was also Tang Yu's goal.

"And then there's Lin Wei, this potential boss..."

Recently, no more scouts have been caught in the territory, and there seems to be no sign of their activity in the wild. Tang Yu had almost forgotten about them.

With the territory's current strength and defensive structures, Tang Yu is not afraid. However, the feeling of being targeted is not pleasant. Feeling wronged, he decided to pass on these negative feelings to the other party.

The vehicle slowly drove out of the territory.

Along the way, all the changes came into view.

The roads in the villa area have been cleaned up, with only a few dried bloodstains and cracked ground telling the story of what happened here.

Around them, many survivors were busy, not only moving materials, but also repairing buildings. Some survivors were repairing villas that were not seriously damaged, while others that were seriously damaged were demolished. In the empty spaces, some were used to build simple houses, while the rest were left for them to use in the future to build system buildings.

After leaving the resort, the road conditions gradually deteriorated, making the ride very bumpy. Gradually, traces of mutated beasts could be seen around the area.

Fortunately, it was an off-road vehicle, and a modified one at that. A layer of steel plates had been welded onto the vehicle. Although it didn't look very good, its defensive capabilities were still decent. At least it could withstand attacks from ordinary demonic beasts for a while.

As expected of Wang Tai, one of the top ten courier services, he delivers money, equipment, and even people. Even the off-road vehicle he uses now was directly modified by Wang Tai.

The vehicle made quite a commotion, and a mutated beast noticed it and approached. Just as it was about to kick, a dark gun barrel protruded from the rear window.

boom!

Flames erupted, and the demonic beast's entire head exploded like a watermelon.

Tang Yu did not stop and continued driving.

In the back row, a young man of ordinary appearance held a musket that was still slightly smoking.

This is the follower summoned this morning using a high-probability summon scroll. It has A-level aptitude and is an assassin class...

Its name is Gray Blade.

He has no real name. Since joining the assassin guild a few years ago, he has abandoned his own name and adopted a code name, Gray Blade. Just like him, the code name is also unremarkable.

From the feeling, Grayblade's aura was even lower; if you weren't paying attention, you might even overlook his presence. This was a unique technique of concealing one's aura, characteristic of the assassin profession.

Grayblade's strength is at the fifth level of awakening. This strength is not considered strong in the assassin guild. However, his mission completion rate is extremely high, and his reputation is first-class. Assassins mainly use daggers as their weapon. Grayblade can complete many difficult missions with his relatively weak strength. Naturally, he relies on a variety of methods.

He was proficient in many things, including poison, explosives, and firearms. Even without the gunslinger class's power boost, he still managed to blow off the demonic beast's head with a single shot using his rune-wielding musket.

Sitting in the passenger seat next to me was Elaine.

He had originally planned to bring Yilian along on this trip.

Each territory must have a follower, who can be notified through a contract in case of any incident.

Only then could Tang Yu have no worries about the future.

These people, including Yilian, often go out to hunt demonic beasts, and her strength has just broken through to the fifth level of awakening.

The speed is extremely fast, which is the advantage of having an A-level qualification.

Although Tang Yu didn't level up often, he still managed to absorb a lot of soul power multiple times... His aptitude was linked to his territory's level. If he had the speed and efficiency of absorbing and refining soul power with an A-level aptitude, he would probably be at the fifth level of awakening by now.

Yilian's strength is undoubtedly that of a master in the post-apocalyptic world, but this trip is to Lindong, where there are potential enemies.

Tang Yu never underestimated Lin Wei. Although he did not hold military power, he was able to become a big shot in Lindong, which must mean that he controlled a lot of power. The Awakened Ones under his command must be quite strong.

Even with all the methods he had prepared, he still felt that relying solely on Yilian was not enough.

Coincidentally, the newly summoned follower, Grayblade, is also quite powerful.

He is also skilled in assassination, intelligence gathering, and other methods, which can be very useful in Lindong.

although,

What Tang Yu most hoped to summon was... no, he was a healer.

…………

Although the straight-line distance between the territory and the eastern border is only sixty kilometers, the actual driving distance is obviously more than one hundred kilometers.

The journey wasn't always at high speed; instead, there were frequent stops and starts. Sometimes, they encountered completely blocked roads and had to get out of the car to clear a path for vehicles to pass. Other times, trees grew so wildly that they blocked the road, leaving Tang Yu with no choice but to go around them.

After driving for several hours, we finally approached the border of Maple Leaf Town. After passing through Maple Leaf Town, we were very close to the East Coast Shelter.

They didn't encounter any major dangers along the way, which clearly indicates that the route map they extracted from Wang Tai and his group was of high quality.

It makes sense. Lin Wei's teams, a mix of awakened individuals and ordinary people, were able to travel from Lin Dong to the territory. Surely, with three experts in his vehicle, they couldn't possibly encounter the worst-case scenario of running into some invincible demonized beast.

As we approached Maple Leaf Town, the number of buildings on both sides of the road gradually increased, and the environment began to become more complex.

Every now and then, a demonic beast would approach, and Elaine and Grayblade each took charge of one side.

Gunshots rang out intermittently, and icicles bloomed in bursts.

Tang Yu frowned; it seemed there were more and more demonic beasts.

Along the way, we encountered several demonic beasts appearing at the same time, but this time it was different. These demonic beasts seemed to be attracted by the commotion here and came one after another from a distance.

Something's not right.

Logically speaking, this place is close to the Eastern Shelter, and there are combat teams going out every day to fight against the demonized beasts, so there should be fewer demonized beasts. But clearly, it seems like we've stumbled upon the demonized beasts' lair.

Something's not right.

He had some suspicions in his mind.

At this point, the demonic beasts that appeared gradually became stronger, and the pressure suddenly increased significantly.

Tang Yu pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up when he saw a tall building not far away.

…………

Grayblade got out of the car and made some noise to shake off the pursuing demonic beasts.

There's no way to kill them all. Normally, Tang Yu would be interested in hunting demonized beasts to fill his depleted coffers, but right now, the situation is really not right, and he doesn't want to fall into crisis because of a little money.

You can't kill them all.

Tang Yu grabbed the handrail, leaped up, and darted through the stairwell like a nimble monkey, quickly reaching the top floor of the building.

The three of them split up and looked around from three different directions on the top floor to make sure they didn't miss any valuable information.

"There's someone over there."

Tang Yu looked in the direction Yilian pointed and saw flashes of light from an explosion in the distance.

Although the distance was far, the eyesight of the awakened ones was not to be underestimated. Soon, Tang Yu saw several figures fleeing in a disheveled state around the explosion site.

These people were incredibly fast, and it was clear that they were all Awakened Ones. This was obviously a very elite combat squad... Tang Yu had also learned some information about Lin Dong. A typical combat squad would have at most one or two Awakened Ones, and the less capable ones would only have ordinary survivors. Only elite squads, where everyone was an Awakened One, could operate in places far from the shelter.

However, the situation for this squad was very bad. In just a short while, several of the slower members of the squad had already died tragically in the encirclement of the demonized beasts, while the remaining, stronger members were still desperately trying to escape.

The pursuing demonic beasts were very powerful; judging from their speed alone, they possessed the strength of two or three tiers of demons.

These people are in a precarious situation.

As Tang Yu made this judgment, the next moment, a blurry shadow flashed past at the edge of his vision.

The awakened ones who were still trying to escape collapsed to the ground in agony, some with half of their bodies torn apart.
