C11 – Return to Celestial South Gathering Land!
Tan Chong glanced at the sky and decided it was time to head back to Celestial South Gathering Land.
He needed at least two hours to make it back to the Gathering Land. If he didn’t make it back before nightfall, he’d be in danger, as zombies were known to be more active at night.
Even an Evolver like himself wasn’t safe from the threat of a large horde of zombies.
With that in mind, Tan Chong made haste toward Celestial South Gathering Land.
Along the way, he swiftly dispatched any lone zombies he encountered. Despite killing several, he hadn’t managed to find any fragments.
Yet, Tan Chong wasn’t overly disappointed. He understood that there was always a chance to find fragments, and if not this time, perhaps he’d have better luck on his next outing.
Besides, he had already found three fragments today, which left him feeling quite satisfied.
As dusk settled four hours later, Tan Chong finally reached the gates of Celestial South Gathering Land. The settlement was established on a vast plain, encircled by towering walls made of massive green stones, each wall standing seven to eight meters high.
Ordinary zombies and Mutated Beasts would find it nearly impossible to scale such heights, especially with guards vigilantly monitoring the walls around the clock.
Life within Celestial South Gathering Land was exceedingly safe, with residents free from the worry of zombie and Mutated Beast attacks.
The management of the Gathering Land, however, was stringent. At night, the gates were firmly shut, only opening for individuals of particular importance.
As an unremarkable figure, Tan Chong certainly didn’t qualify for such privileges.
Upon reaching the gate, he was stopped by a guard whose duties included verifying the identities of those entering the Gathering Land and ensuring no one was injured or bitten by zombies, as such individuals were strictly forbidden entry.
“Tan Chong, why are you returning alone? Where are Chen Dong and the others?” inquired the guard while examining Tan Chong for injuries.
”Have they not returned yet?” Tan Chong asked, his face etched with concern.
He had already devised a plan on his return journey, given the unique status of Chen Dong.
“None of them, including Chen Dong, have come back. What’s happening?” The guard grasped the gravity of the situation.
“We ventured into a deserted city intending to scavenge for supplies, but it was swarming with zombies, so we were forced to scatter,” Tan Chong explained.
“Are Captain Chen and the others still alive?” the guard inquired anxiously.
Tan Chong could only shake his head, his expression one of uncertainty.
“This is grave. You must report to your superiors immediately,” the guard said, swiftly allowing Tan Chong to pass.
Acknowledging with a nod, Tan Chong made his way quickly toward the heart of the Gathering Land.
Teams like Tan Chong’s, dedicated to resource collection, were known as Mercenary Teams.
The headquarters of the Tiannan Mercenary Team was situated a short distance from the Gathering Land’s main gate. The head of the team was Ming Dong, a rugged-looking middle-aged man with formidable strength.
Ming Dong was a Level 1 Evolver.
Upon reporting the situation to Ming Dong at the Mercenary Team headquarters, Ming Dong’s demeanor took on a note of concern.
“Tan Chong, are you certain of this?” Ming Dong looked intently at Tan Chong and questioned.
