“Roger.”

“My Lord, I have arrived.”

The deep male voice was strong and powerful. As these words fell, a towering steel-like strong man came from afar. The strong man’s footsteps seemed slow. But in actuality, his walking speed was very fast. Soon, the comer walked behind Leader Tang and slightly bowed.

The strong man is two meters tall, has brown hair, wears black heavy armour and carries a large sword equal to his height with his helmet in hand. As the strong man approaches, great pressure is exerted on Chen Haiping’s mind.

Chen Haiping’s pupils shrink.

This kind of pressure isn’t from any aura. From Roger, he can only feel the faintest aura coming out. This kind of oppression originates from his imposing momentum, a kind of momentum possessed by people who have swum through seas of blood or climbed atop mountains of corpses.

This suffocating aura of blood and baleful Qi struck his nerves, causing his scalp to go completely numb.

He remembered those soldiers he had seen from the special units during his days in the army. Those who had really been on the battlefield and had killed many people. From those people, Chen Haiping had felt such similar baleful Qi… However, the baleful Qi which came from them were dwarfed by this towering steel-like strong man in front of him!

There is no doubt this is a super master!

…………

The pub has one free summoning opportunity every day. It can be used in the morning or evening. Yesterday, Tang Yu performed the summoning ceremony and only summoned an ordinary D-class adventurer. In the end, he didn’t sign a follower contract with this adventurer. Instead, this morning the one who was summoned is Roger.

With an A-class already summoned before him, Roger being a C-class summon didn’t matter as much. What Tang Yu values more about Roger is his knowledge rather than his class.

Up until then, he doesn’t know how heavily an awakened one’s class is weighed in other people’s minds. He only knows an awakened one’s order is roughly divided into three realms… The first realm is the laying foundation domain, which is from the first to fifth order awakened one. This also happens to be the strength limit of what the pub can summon as a follower for now. The second realm is the building body domain.

Roger was once a master at the peak of the building body domain. In theory, Tang Yu cannot summon such a strong adventurer as his follower. But Roger suffered a serious injury during a battle against the black wave. Not only has his strength fallen back to a fifth order awakened one, but he had also become disabled and could never return to the battlefield in his lifetime. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

That is until he was summoned. Under the power of the contract, Roger completely recovered from his previous injury. Although his strength remained at the peak of the laying foundation domain. But for him, breaking through to the building body domain is a very simple matter.

As soon as his injury from many years ago had recovered, Roger’s momentum unabashedly burst forth… Since Tang Yu had a contractual connection with him, he didn’t feel any discomfort. But Chen Haiping happened to be near him and was the first person to bear the full brunt of his momentum.

Although his face was visibly pale, there was excitement in his eyes. From his face, he had difficulty hiding his eagerness and impatience.

This must be eagerness from urgently wanting to learn the skills necessary for dealing with the demonized beasts, right?

…………

A convoy arrived at the entrance of the resort.

Two off-road vehicles and one minibus.

The car doors opened, and several figures climb out of the vehicles in succession. These people were well-equipped, armed with guns and wearing bulletproof vests. As soon as they got off of the vehicles, these men immediately dispersed and stood alert while guarding the surrounding area.

Wang Tai climbed out of the vehicle, followed by his two subordinates.

Looking at the resort, which is almost in complete ruins, Wang Tai’s heart began bleeding again.

Before the doomsday, he was a big boss. The Tree Shade Resort is his property. When the doomsday broke out, he happened to be near the resort. Relying on his hidden stash of guns and a group of his loyal subordinates. Wang Tai quickly gathered a team and gradually developed the resort into a shelter.

However, one demon wave turned everything he had into dust!

Fortunately, he still has a chance to make a comeback… Wang Tai walked up to the middle-aged man with a smile on his face and said: “Captain Han, this place is very close to the source crystal mine. But the mountain roads behind are difficult to navigate. Do you think we should camp here first and scout the area?”

Han Jing squinted and took a look at the surroundings. Indeed, as Wang Tai said, this place has suffered from a demon wave attack and the entire shelter has been wiped out. However, this wasn’t the focus of his attention. What he wants to know is only one thing. Whether the source crystal mine truly exists.

This source crystal mine information was provided by Wang Tai.

After the doomsday, the earth underwent drastic changes, and many new resources have emerged… The source crystal mine happens to be one of them. Ore veins containing huge amounts of source crystal are a far better source than hunting thousands of demonized beasts. Even if only one vein is mined, this is simply a temptation Lin Wei cannot resist.

Han Jing, as Lin Wei’s confidant, has worked for him for more than ten years and knew his boss’s intentions well. He mused slightly before saying: “Team 2, scout at 9 o’clock. Team 3, scout at 3 o’clock and everyone else stays on standby.”

The remaining people were on alert and gathered around to guard the vehicles.

Wang Tai looked out into the distance, and the light in his eyes brightly flickered.

Of course, he knows the value of a source crystal mine. If his shelter was still here, how can he willingly give up this source crystal mine? Unfortunately, after all, the situation has changed, and he has to take this new opportunity… Wang Tai turned his eyes and pondered how he could reach his hidden stash in the villa without being noticed.

At this time, team 3 which had just left, unexpectedly came back so soon. The two of them walked back while still holding onto two frightened survivors.

“What’s going on here? How can there still be survivors?” Han Jing asked.

Wang Tai shook his head to show he didn’t know what was going on since he also looked surprised!

…………

Wang Zhou and another survivor shivered as they watched the large group of men surrounding them.

They just came out to collect some materials that could still be used after the demon wave attack. Why did such a large group of men armed with guns suddenly appear? One by one, they appeared menacingly while the two dared not put up any resistance at all. Soon, they were both captured and brought here.

“Speak, who are you? Why are you here? What are you doing? Honestly tell me the truth, do you hear me?!”

A team member pointed his gun and shouted at both of them.

Wang Zhou’s face was pale, and the other survivor looked on vacantly with dilated pupils as he began squirming with his hands and feet. It seemed he had been scared silly: “Oh… Hehe… Heh.”

Seeing this big man about to shoot, Wang Zhou gathers his courage, which suddenly came out of nowhere and knocked his companion unconscious before saying: “Wait, wait, wait. I’ll tell you the truth. He’s just a fool. I am normal. I’ll tell you everything.”

He calmed down a bit before hurriedly saying: “We are… Survivors from the Tree Shade Shelter…”

“Survivors? Tell me the truth! The Tree Shade Shelter has long since been destroyed by the demon wave!”

Wang Zhou was so frightened from being yelled at that his face had twisted and almost burst into tears. Even if he was forced to experience pain, in his mind, he couldn’t say much more: “We really are survivors from Tree Shade Shelter, wait… Let me finish my story. When the demon wave arrived, we hid in the underground storage room and narrowly avoided it through luck.”

Wang Tai frowned and stepped forward to ask: “Hiding in an underground storage room? How long have you been hiding? Didn’t you guys meet any demonized beasts when you came outside?!”

“We hid… We hid for about two or three days, then we were too hungry and had to run outside to search for food. As for the demonized beasts, I don’t know. When we came outside, it was already like this.” Wang Zhou stammered.

In front of this large group of men who are armed to the teeth with guns. At first sight, their faces are menacing, and he can definitely tell they aren’t ordinary survivors… Wang Zhou knows that even if he tells them the truth, it’s unlikely he will survive in the end after he tells them all the information he knows. So, he might as well hide some key information in the hopes that Leader Tang can come to their rescue.

In fact, he wasn’t sure whether Leader Tang would save both of them. During the doomsday, ordinary survivors are the least valued group. However, rather than believing that these armed men will eventually let them go, it’s better to believe in Leader Tang. At least in this past couple of days, Leader Tang has treated everyone very well.

Han Jing stood aside listening to his team’s constant interrogation. Then, he turns to look at Wang Tai.

“They’re all survivors from your shelter. Do you remember these two?”

Wang Tai shook his head and said: “They’re just ordinary survivors. I don’t have any impression of them either. If they’re awakened ones, I might have some impression…”

Han Jing pondered.

Judging from the results of the interrogation, there are other survivors besides these two. But none of them is strong and they don’t pose any threat to their group. Only in the spirit of caution, he ordered: “Take these two with you guys. Since there are other survivors, let’s catch all of the stray mice first.”

…………

On the other side of the resort.

Outside the castle, in an open space.

Tang Yu went out patrolling for a few rounds early in the morning but found no demonized beasts. After, he returned here alone without finding anything.

With the decrease in the number of demonized beasts, the efficiency of hunting demonized beasts has become lower and lower. In the beginning, several demonized beasts can be found within the span of a few minutes. Now, he is searching for more than half an hour and still may not be able to find even one head. Instead of following the hunting team, he returns to the vicinity of the castle and finds a place to begin exercising.

Awakened ones also need to regularly exercise, especially after his own strength has greatly increased. Tang Yu needs to spend some time on exercise in order to better control his strength.

At this time, his body is in an extremely awkward posture. This is Roger’s exercise advice after he was summoned this morning.

His forehand moves to perform a combat technique.

At this time, a reminder appeared in his mind.

“Ting! As the lord, when your subjects are in danger, please pay attention and…”

“Ting!…”

Tang Yu looked puzzled.
