Swordsman Returns from Another World

The atmosphere of despair that had just enveloped everyone disappeared, and a small but real hope spread among people. This group of children wearing different school uniforms, after all...

After all, all we need is a leader.

Having water and food, and a goal to take the next step, that's enough.

They had just escaped from the campus and survived the team led by the white-haired boy, so what else could they ask for?

...The estimate of Baiyue was correct.

These were the children of Ursus, before all the tragedy began.

Because Baiyou kidnapped Tallulah and fled, the Integration Movement forces retreated inward, and the campus that was originally scheduled to be blocked for more than ten days was released. Winter seized this opportunity and led some courageous classmates to finally break out of the blockade.

But the cruelty of the outside world was beyond their imagination. After the collapse of all existing social order, Chernobyl had become a hell on earth.

Robbery? That kind of thing is already the minimum chaos.

Even on campus, killing has become a...common thing.

Those students who had gone mad dragged the bodies of their companions into the darkness that was too dark to see in the cold winter. Only black bloodstains were left on the floor of the corridor, which was terrifying.

Outside the campus, things are even more chaotic.

Blood turned into pools, civilians' heads became toys of lunatics... Such things happened one after another.

The Ursus children who grew up in a stable environment were still shocked even though they had the Ursus fighter blood flowing in their bones.

In order to protect the girls in the team from being attacked by crazy Ursus civilians, Winter had to cut off one of the guy's arms.

This incident made everyone realize that it was not just the infected from the Integration Movement that threatened them in this city.

"I promise that everyone will get out of here." Winter raised the axe in his hand: "But I also want to say that if anyone in the team challenges my order and challenges our bottom line as students, then I will never show mercy."

"Anna, help me." She turned her head and looked at the literary girl nicknamed "Truth".

Truth nodded: "I will follow you, Sonya."

The truth's calmness gave Lin Dong some confidence. At least now, they still had a glimmer of hope.

First line...

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was an explosion on the street in the distance.

Winter's heart trembled and he looked into the distance.

A group of infected people in white clothes appeared on the street.

It's an integration movement.

But, it was a rout.

"Sonia, squat down!" Zhenli shouted, and at the same time turned around and called: "Dara, put out the fire, quickly!"

Gumi yelled and threw the torch to the ground. Several people around him stomped on the torch and finally put it out.

And Lin Dong seemed to be stunned by the scene before him. He stood there, looking quietly into the distance.

At the end of the road, the group of infected people were dispersed, as if they had encountered some difficult enemy and were fighting and retreating.

Soon, Winter knew what they were avoiding.

A monster that looked like a dragon was charging recklessly on the street.

Several innocent Ursus civilians were tied to the dragon's tentacles. They were being swallowed by the strange pink dragon covered with a pale shell, but surprisingly they did not put up any resistance.

The civilians had wounds caused by Originium techniques and long swords, which were caused by the infected people of the Reunion Movement.

That strange dragon was helping the civilians of Ursus.

On top of the strange dragon's head stood a young man with blond and white hair, who looked to be only about ten years old, a complete child.

He wielded a sword as long as his shoulder to block the attacks of the infected.

Chapter 26: My boss is invincible in winter!

Seeing that figure, the young man swinging the sword with all his might, Lin Dong suddenly felt an urge to help.

It wasn't because he felt sorry for the young man fighting alone, but it was an almost intuitive thought, as if if he didn't help him now, then... all the suffering he had endured in the past would have no place to vent.

Why do you feel this way?

Winter frowned and clenched the axe in his hand.

The truth behind him seemed to notice that something was wrong with Winter, and asked in a low voice: "Sonia, what's wrong with you?"

Winter shuddered violently, she took a few quick breaths, frowned and turned back.

In the darkness, his companions are still waiting.

The team's composition is very complicated, including Natalia from the aristocratic middle school, Anna and Dara from the same school... and Rosaline...

In other words, Zaolu, Zhenli, Gumi, and Liexia.

It's just that they don't call it by that name yet.

There was another girl with half of her body hidden in the darkness. Winter remembered that she was a friend of Zhenli, her name was... Wicca?

She took a deep breath and said in a different, weak and even pleading tone than usual: "I want to help him."

"...What?" As she expected, there were doubts in the team.

"Do you know what you are saying? Sonya, we are running for our lives now!"

"That kid can't fight the Reunion infected by himself, even with that strange monster."

"We should take a detour... Get out of the way now, or that guy will attract more Reunion!"

The team was like a drop of water thrown into a frying pan, or vice versa, crackling and noisy.

Winter gripped the axe tightly, she turned around again and looked at the street in a daze.

The young man was still fighting. His swordsmanship was outstanding and almost no infected could be his enemy. However, he would still be hit by the sneak attacks of Originium skills. However, he would usually just shake his head, glare back fiercely, and rush over to chop the infected person down with a sword.

Watching it makes Dong Dong eager to try.

Who is this guy? When did such a powerful kid appear in Chernobyl?

My heart was still beating, as if it was instinctive, I didn't want to miss him... or rather, I didn't want to let go of the love that had already landed gently in my palm...

redemption.

Lin Dong suddenly felt like vomiting. Just when she was thinking about the word "redemption", some scenes seemed to flash before her eyes. They were the scenes from the school before.

Faces filled with fear or anger, blood on the ground, and someone dragging their bodies into the darkness...

vomit.

Winter's stomach was twitching, but she held it back. She bared her teeth like an angry brown bear and said, "I have to go. I don't know why, but I have to go."

"Follow me if you have the courage, and let the rest of love go wherever it wants!" Winter pounded the wall beside him hard, then picked up the axe and ran away.

Upon hearing this, Zhenli was the first to rush out. She had no doubt about Winter's intuition. Although Winter seemed rash sometimes, but... if it came to intuition, then following Winter would not be wrong.

After the first one, there was the second one. Seeing Zhenli running out, Gumi took Vika's hand, jumped out of the crowd and ran forward.

Then comes the hot summer and the early dew.

Winter is running faster and faster.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky finally dissipated.

The golden setting sun shone obliquely from afar, dividing the road in front of the cold winter, and leaving streaks of golden light on the ground through the gaps between the ruins and buildings.

She stepped forward into a ray of light. The brief brightness made her seem as if she were covered in a layer of gold, and the Originium dust in the air was also dyed golden.

The children ran down the avenue, through the golden light and into the darkness without stopping.

It's like escaping from a nightmare and running towards a fairy tale based solely on intuition.

At the end of the street, Baiyou stood on top of the familiar, brandishing a sword, his small hands tightly grasping the reins made of tentacles, like a hero riding a dragon with a sword in hand, and the sword body wrapped in a strong wind knocked a sorcerer away.

He turned his head and then sneered.

Winter took the lead, running forward with the momentum of a man who was participating in a sports meet. He was panting but with a smile on his face.

Behind her, more children were running here, their mouths and tongues were dry and cracked, their heads were covered with sweat, and they had helplessness on their faces. They were covered with dust and were running in twos and threes.

If I have to say it, it’s like running a long-distance race for the college entrance examination, panting hard but still not daring to stop.

Lin Dong saw Bai You, and the two looked at each other, but did not say hello.

Like a hurdler, she bounded into the crowd, axe raised.

At this moment, Baiyou suddenly felt that this was the meaning of his coming to this world.

He has lost many times, in many worlds, either because of plot twists or because he was too naive.

But this time, Baiyou still wants to give it a try and try to win once.

"Just drive them away!" Baiyou shouted, "We have to leave here quickly, otherwise we will be in big trouble. Besides, why are you here?!"

Winter kicked a sorcerer to the ground, then kicked him in the head again.

Without even turning his head, he asked, "Kid, who are you? Do we know each other?"

"We knew each other a long time ago, but you forgot." Bai Glaze burst into laughter.

Then, Zhenli also came. She flipped through the book in her hand and attacked the enemy with her clumsy Originium skills as if she was cramming for an exam.

It turns out that she learned the Originium technique at this time... Baiyou couldn't help but think.

These children had indeed suffered a lot in order to escape from Chernobyl, but fortunately, it seemed that they had not arrived too late.

With the participation of the Student Autonomous Group, the battle was quickly over. The peripheral members of the Integration Movement who were fighting guerrilla warfare outside fled in panic, and in order to take the students' feelings into consideration, Bai You did not kill them.

After the battle, the Silver Honey familiar slowly returned to the underground. That thing was too huge and it was a bit inappropriate to appear here.

Lin Dong frowned as he looked at the boy in front of him, who was just a little below his chest.

"Who are you?" Lin Dong asked curiously.

Baiyue shrugged: "A survivor, just like you, I want to escape from Chernobog, the difference is that I have a more reliable pet."

“Thank you for reaching out.”

Zhenli walked forward and said calmly, "But you can still handle it without us."

"That's true, but it doesn't stop me from thanking you." Baiyou paused, the blade of the long sword in his hand was already a little bent, and knocked it on the ground: "For this city, lending a helping hand is a rare virtue."

After saying this, Baiyou looked in the direction where Lindong and others came from. At the other end of the street, where the setting sun could not be seen, some students were looking at him with suspicion.

After leaving the cage at school, Winter's control over the team was not as strong as she had imagined.

"...Do you want to come with me?" Bai You was silent for a moment and stretched out his hand towards Lin Dong.

"Let's escape together."

Winter looked back at the truth, squinted his eyes and said: "If I am the leader of the team, then I will agree."

Baiyue laughed: "Of course!"

"From now on you are my boss!"

Chapter 27: Unexpected Gains

For this group of students, it is a good thing to have someone they can rely on.

Although this person looks, well... younger than himself.

But it doesn't matter, at least he's really good at fighting and has a weird giant monster as a pet.

After confirming that Baiyou had good intentions, a few students including Lindong chose to act with Baiyou, while those who had not offered a helping hand before left at some point in time.

Perhaps, they followed Lin Dong in the beginning simply because the space on campus was too small and they needed to find a force to join.

Now that they have left school, they naturally don’t have to worry so much. They may feel that they can still survive or escape in this city on their own.

After a brief rest, the hungry students followed Baiyou on the road.

"The supermarket in front has not collapsed yet. There may be some eatable things inside." Baiyou pointed to the supermarket in front.

"A supermarket like this should be very popular now. Isn't it dangerous?" Lin Dong frowned.
