Overpowered Soul Transmigrate In Apocalypse

Chapter 144: EP23: The situation in the city.

The Sweet Herbivore City was extremely huge, as it was a level 2 city. Unlike Muffin city, a level 5 city that is divided into inner and outer parts, the Sweet Herbivore City is divided into seven vast sectors. Each sector is basically the same size as a normal city and has a huge population that numbers in the tens of millions.

Sweet Herbivore City has four different entrances, each connected to the outer sectors. The outer sectors are Sector 1, 2, 3, and 4. The inner sectors are Sector 5, 6, and 7.

The side from where Feng entered Sweet Herbivore city along with his party is sector 2 which is connected to the TCC highway. 

Sector 2 is located totally opposite to Sector 4. Sector 4 entrance and exit is the railway station that has a railroad that extends from this city to the City of Silver. Currently, they were in a red-zone region. They needed to take the train so that they can reach the City of Silver which is a gray-zone that has military supports. That's why they were heading to sector 4.

In the middle of these two Sectors (2 and 4) are Sector 5, 6, and 7. Though these sectors no longer exist. According to what Khan said, a big slab of meteoroid had dropped in the middle of the city during the meteor shower that started the Apocalypse. Feng and the others took his words as it is, right now, they were startled by seeing the size of the meteoroid.

The big slab of space stone wasn't big, it was humongous. It was the size of a mountain. Even though they were at the starting line of the city, the meteoroid was still visible to their eyes.

Sector five, six, and seven were located in the middle of the Sweet Herbivore City. The mountain-sized meteoroid plummeted in the middle of the city that's why these three sectors faced direct Annihilation at the start of the Apocalypse.

Feng determined that all the unlucky citizens of these three sectors also died, their bodies crushed to dust under the meteoroid. 

Before they entered the city, the plan was to take a direct line that directly leads to Sector 4. The direct line was an in-city underground train track. But after seeing the meteoroid stone that had definitely plunged deep into the ground and destroyed the underground Train station, they had to change the plans.

Right now, they were discussing what their next step should be.

"Leader, to reach Sector 4 that is opposite to here, we can climb up this mountain-like meteoroid. It will probably take around an hour to climb this. So, do we climb this rock or go around it?" Jody asked him. His eyes were lowered, starting at the ground so that he can carefully trace each of his steps. He wasn't being extra cautious, the streets of Sector 2 were cracked all over the place. Even a single misstep and Jody could fall headfirst and have his ankle twisted.

Naturally, the same goes for everyone else. They too were extra cautious as they didn't want to be injured on their ankles. Adults could act responsible, but the same couldn't be said for the kids, who had already eased into a peaceful environment thanks to staying in safety for the past few days. Furthermore, some cracks were big enough to swallow their bodied whole, hence Arnold picked them both up. Sylvia and Stella were sitting on his wide shoulders.

"Yeah, if we are gonna climb it then we should salvage some safety equipment from these ruins," Khan said wearily.

The surrounding didn't look any better than ruins. Buildings were toppled all around him, some dangling in mid-air ready to crash downwards any second. Cars were abandoned on the street, probably due to panic people left their cars some moments after the shockwaves produced by the meteoroids crashing into the middle part of the city, and ran on feet to get out of this place. The mountain-like meteoroid dropped into the middle of the city, yet Sectors, 1,2, and 3 were inflicted harm because of the powerful aftershock.

"We aren't gonna climb it, so there's no need to salvage safety equipment. It's better to go around this thing." Feng replied to Jody's and Khan's questions while pointing at the very wide mountain.

"Sure!" Khan and Jody held complete obedience towards their leader as they were frantic believers of Feng and the founders of his occult. Whatever Feng says, they will never question twice. Whatever they do, they will ask Feng first before making a move.

Right then, Feng stopped in his track. He stopped in his track so everyone else also stopped in their track. "Bring out the city map. Let me check out the routes of this city." He said to Arnold.

"Ah, sure," Arnold said. He pulled out his S-25 device and turned it on. A holographic screen containing the complex map of the city opened up.

Feng carefully examined it. His finger pressed on his chin. Occasionally, he would hmm as if he understood 

After examining the streets of the city with Dracula, he said to Dracula, "What do you think is the best possible path?"

Feng wasn't a map expert, so how would he understand what the freak this was. Examining the map was just an act he was putting on for others to save his pride and position as their leader.

Dracula said while pointing at Sector 3. "Master, the best roundabout path is to walk Southwest from our current location and head towards Sector 3. From their, Sector 4 is only 400 km away."

Feng nodded. Dracula was the most dependable robot as it surely knows everything about this world.

"Let's do just that. Along the way, if the streets aren't clogged by the cars then we will pick up some cars. That will shorter the time it will take for us to reach Sector 4" Feng said.

Saying that he continued his march. "Master, where are you going? Southwest is here!" Dracula said while pointing to his right.

"Oh, my feet slipped," Feng exclaimed to hide his embarrassment. The truth was, he was never good with directions. Pushing Dracula a little forward, he followed shoulder to shoulder with him.

Everyone knew that it was not humanly possible for feet to slip in such a manner. They knew that Feng had bad direction sense but no one pointed it out.

Jamie walked fast and caught up to Feng

"Are we really gonna head to Sector 3?Climbing this mountain is surely the fastest path to reach Sector 4? It will only take us an hour to climb it. If we go around it then first we will need to head to Sector 3. It will probably take several hours or more for us to reach Sector 4." Jamie listed out multiple excuses to change Feng's mind in a shaky tone.

From her distress tone, Feng understood why she didn't want to go to Sector 3. He said, "Nuna, those thugs that are abusing others, they are at Sector 3, right?"

Jamie nodded in confirmation. She warned, "That's why I want you to rethink it. They got guns and bombs and nothing is stopping them from lashing at us for no reason. They are also divided into different gangs that are blocking the exits, entrance, and important parts of Sector 3."

"Gangs? Tell me more about it." Feng said. He was slightly curious about how these guys managed to set up gang while under the attack of zombies.

"Uh, I only know just that but Khan knows better than me."

Khan was walking some feet behind them, he heard what she said. He caught up to them.

He said, "Ah, yeah. There are various small gangs in Sector 3, all ruled under a single big gang. Those bastards are the one who attacked us after the military deserted this city!" At the end, his time has flared up in rage.

Listening to his reply, Feng was a little.but confused. "These gangs, are they not attacked by zombies? There should be a lot of undead in Sector 3, so how did they manage to create gangs with simply three weeks?"

"That even I don't know. For some reasons, zombies don't attack whoever joins the gangs. That's why even common citizens joined the gangs." Khan said.

"The gangs promote violence, to join the gang a person has to kill another person." Jamie added, explaining the sinister nature of these gangs.

Jody, who was drinking water, spewed it all out in surprise. The water sprinkled on Khan cheeks.

"And you just remembered to mention something important as that right now?" Jody exclaimed.

"Haha, well, ..." Under the stares of everyone, Khan could only scratch his chin in embarrassment. This matter has totally left his mind. He just remebered it after enetering the city. The same goes for Jamie.

Feng eyes lowered thoughtfully, "These gangs aren't as simple as I thought. But we don't have to worry about them. Whoever attack us will face his own end."
