Chapter 19: Purple Wall

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Anxiety continued to rumble in Tang Ling’s heart, but he viewed it as merely a discomfort. Compared to the anxiety from the predicted danger from his Precise Instinct, it was a little different.

Then, Quark continued to gesticulate joyfully and squeal in excitement. Their quick pace had brought them to the front of the crowd unknowingly.

The cold in the night was merciless.

Even though they squeezed themselves through the crowd and walked quickly, they still could not shake off the bone-chilling cold.

However, as if the sky deemed that the people were not suffering enough, a heavy dark cloud floated over from nowhere and blocked the Purple Moon. The weather was dark while the cold wind blew.

It had been several months since the last downpour at Safety Sector No. 17, and now they were about to face torrential rain on a night like this. People would freeze to death.

Looking at the sky, Tang Ling furrowed his brows slightly. If they could not get into the Safety Sector safely, the cold would really kill them.

“Hey, kid, do you know what that last snake was?” Tang Ling’s daze annoyed Quark a little, so he decided to bring up a topic that would surely attract his interest.

“What?” Tang Ling’s interest was piqued. That giant snake’s capability surpassed all the beasts that he knew. It was incredibly powerful.

Besides, they were not exactly fighting face-to-face, so Tang Ling had reason to believe that the giant snake had more powerful abilities than displayed.

“A highly mutated beast,” Quark uttered a term beside Tang Ling’s ears.

Tang Ling widened his eyes. It was the first time he heard of the name, what did it represent?

“Hehehe, don’t be so surprised. What have you seen in the last decade or so? Your active range is nothing more than the underground. Given that the safety zone and the thick forest was cleaned up in the secondary safety zone, what danger could there be?” Quark’s eyes flashed with a familiar delight, then he continued, “A highly mutated beast is...”

However, before he could even finish the words, a huge bolt of lightning cracked across the gloomy sky like a gigantic sword that cut the sky open. In the next moment, heavy rain poured down together with a thunderous clap.

Quark was so frightened that he flinched while Tang Ling squinted his eyes. The row of Purple Moon Warriors at the top of the sector wall that he kept paying attention to finally moved.

The moving crowd in front stopped abruptly, causing several of them to almost run into each other.

Under the blinding light of the lightning, the Purple Moon Warriors jumped down from the tall walls and easily landed. They were much stronger than he thought!

When the first droplet of rain plopped on Tang Ling’s face, his heart was enveloped by astonishment.

Had it been him who jumped down from the hundred-meter sector walls, other than turning into a pile of meat paste, there would not be a second ending for him.

Kuang, kuang, kuang

.

A total of 30 Purple Moon Warriors jumped down together and soon lined up in a single row. They stepped forward in neat, coordinated steps as they walked towards the crowd.

Their superior existence that was similar to a god’s status made the people who flocked towards the Safety Sector not dare to move forward anymore.

Until they were 50 meters away from the crowd, the Purple Moon Warriors stopped, forming a long purple wall.

The beautiful standard-issued purple armors glistened coldly under the storm as their black capes fluttered along with the strong wind that accompanied the rain. Their silver long blades were strapped on their backs, revealing only the hilt carved with an unknown beast’s head and accompanied by a ring of a beast’s talon at the tip of the hilt. Anyone who saw it would feel an invisible pressure on them.

It was Tang Ling’s first time seeing the Purple Moon Warriors up close, and he thought there was hope.

After all the mess that happened tonight, had they finally deemed it worthy to strike? After all, were they going to give up on so many lives in the settlement so easily?

There was total silence accompanied only by the sharp whistling of the wind and the roar of the heavy rain.

After almost more than ten seconds had passed, after rumbling thunder, a tall Purple Moon Warrior with a scarlet red cape walked out in a casual manner.

The searchlights were all switched off in this instant, and the dark night blurred out his face from the crowd. When his tall figure shifted, it looked like a moving giant tree.

Only his scarlet cape was eye-catching in the night. It stated that his position was unlike the other common Purple Moon Warriors.

“Boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 15 can enter the sector. The numbers cannot exceed 300 and the ratio of men and women is 2 to 1. We have our own ways of selecting, so will the others please leave right away? You are advised to retreat 500 meters away,” the person spoke after he walked ten meters forward.

The voice was low and his tone did not hold a trace of emotion. It was cold, arrogant and left no room for doubt.

Retreat by 500 meters? If they retreated by more than 500 meters, they would enter the attacking range of the zombies. Were they not telling the people to go and die?

A chill rose from the bottom of Tang Ling’s heart. It exploded in an instant and froze his heart. The hunger from his chest suddenly rose, and he seemed much hungrier than before.

The crowd went silent. There was no response as no one had the courage to. It was difficult for them to accept that the Purple Moon Warriors, who were like protectors to them, would tell them to die, yet they did not have the courage to fight back.

“Step back!” The man suddenly raised his voice, suppressing even the thunderclap that boomed at the same time and rumbled among the crowd.

As if his voice had a strange magical power, it made many of them unconsciously take a step back.

He took another step forward and spewed out words that sounded colder than the weather, “Or else... kill them.”

Kill them? Tang Ling’s ears started to buzz in disbelief. Why would he still have hope for these Purple Moon Warriors before this!? Did he think that they would save them?

Was it so difficult for those admiration and worship throughout all those years to die?

In the rain, Tang Ling looked a little pale as he unconsciously hugged his little sister in his arms, who was as cold as ice, even tighter.

“I’ll go over first,” Quark suddenly spoke as if he was not scared by the atmosphere, but surprisingly, it was Grandma who held him back. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head lightly at Quark.

“It’s fine. You guys have no idea about my background. I, Quark, am a man of my words. I won’t abandon you guys.” With no room for doubt, Quark pulled Grandma’s hand away and squeezed his way out through the silent crowd.

When the man in the scarlet cape saw Quark came out from the crowd, other than a cold chuckle, he did not show other response as if he had just witnessed something funny,

Quark raised his hands and said loudly, “I am Quark of the Fifth Camp. I am wondering, my lord, if you’ve heard of me. I’ve finally thought it through. I want to move into the Safety Sector.” As he spoke, Quark walked closer to the man.

A tiny commotion erupted in the crowd before it was replaced by silence once more.

Even though Quark stationed himself in the Fifth Camp in the settlement, he was rather popular in the whole settlement. A man like him would have the leverage to speak to a Purple Moon Warrior.

However, right at that moment when Quark was less than ten meters from the man, a stern command stopped Quark from advancing forward, “Stop.”

Quark really stopped. He did not dare challenge the prestige of a Purple Moon Warrior.

“I have a secret. I’m valuable to the Safety Sector.” Quark was not speaking loudly this time, but the volume did not affect Tang Ling who was at the front of the crowd from hearing him.

After saying that, Quark tested it out by carefully moving several steps forward. This time, the man did not stop him and when Quark reached his side, he whispered into the man’s ears.

The rain got heavier and the cold wind stirred up the heavy downpour, causing everyone to shiver.

Another bolt of lightning cracked across the sky. Tang Ling clearly caught a glimpse of the icy-cold smile under the helmet of that red-caped Purple Moon Warrior.
