Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 39 I Am Ashes

Although Li Wei was speaking enthusiastically, not many people were really listening. They were all holding their phones with faces as if their parents had died... no, probably because some of them really had parents who had died.

When Li Wei said we could leave, few people believed him, and even after Li Wei and his group cleared the way, not many chose to stay.

Those who remained were either from far away or too scared to walk.

There are fewer boys and more girls, but disasters don't discriminate between men and women.

After all, most of the cattle and horses had already gone home to rest, and there was no one like Li Wei causing trouble. Many people suffered a great defeat in their sleep and were blessed without even realizing it.

What would happen if your bedmate suddenly mutated while the other person was still sleeping? It's obvious.

Especially in big cities, the casualties were even greater. After all, the Kremlin are not zombies; a headshot is not enough to kill them, and they can be dismembered.

Moreover, how many people can bring themselves to be ruthless in the early stages of a disaster? And even if they do see it, not many people can defeat it.

It's not that the early-stage necromancy variants became much stronger; humans are inherently very strong.

To stand out from all other life forms on Earth and become the master of the planet, evolving such a luxury as a brain is not just a matter of simple intelligence.

Even though modern humans are inherently stronger than other animals when faced with extreme fear, their brains are simply telling them they can't win (without taking damage). Bloodlust and frenzy are not just empty words.

But when the blessing replaced all the blood in people with adrenaline, it removed the limitations of the human body, and every mutant became a superhuman.

It's like having a full set of six items, but then you're left with nothing.

So things have turned upside down outside. Li Wei guesses that these students will come back, but he doesn't know how many will return.

Looking at the fewer than two hundred people in front of him, Li Wei began to arrange the work.

The first thing to do is to deal with the body, but Li Wei guessed that they wouldn't dare to go into the forest to find firewood now, so he simply made arrangements.

"The rest, go to the teaching building and dismantle all the chairs and benches, take all the wooden planks to the playground and pile them in the corner. We'll go and get the body parts and burn them later."

Ken, take a hundred men to help these young people. Wood, you take fifty men to clear out the faculty building. The rest of you come with me to the dormitories.

The group of killers managed to kill those zombie variants, but they didn't see many souls. After all, killing people is much easier than killing zombie variants. They were quite dissatisfied and even suggested that Levi and Black Mom have a speed contest to see who could kill more people faster.

Li Wei, of course, didn't want to be a madman, so he painted a rosy picture for these murderers: there are billions of people outside, they don't need a few more, let's try it out first, establish a human protection zone, and develop sustainably.

We've finally encountered a world that's about to collapse; if we don't develop it into a long-term solution, we can't live like this anymore.

If all else fails, Li Wei will have no choice but to take the Spiral Sword and move, then go to the airport to find someone who can fly to protect him, and go to a crowded place like Tokyo to see if he can outrun Black Mom, until most of the people are dead.

Then, we'll move on to Europe, a land brimming with martial spirit, to challenge the second phase of the dungeon.

.......

The flames of the bonfire leaped several meters high, and the smell of burning human flesh made the students vomit, just as Li Wei had predicted. However, Li Wei intended to keep them busy to prevent them from becoming restless.

After all, when people are busy, they don't have time to overthink, and if they don't overthink, they won't do wasteful things like having a breakdown or committing suicide.

He picked up a megaphone and shouted at the students.

"Guys, I bet you all understand that unless the world explodes, students won't get a holiday, so you all need to start studying, but it's your favorite class, PE."

I said I would be responsible for your safety, but that doesn't mean I'm guaranteeing it, because accidents can happen anytime soon.

Looking at the thin arms and legs of these students who were crying their eyes out, I decided to skip the swordsmanship and teach them how to use a spear.

This will give them some resistance when they encounter the undead, at least enough to hold out until their own people come to their rescue.

He also needed to train his physical strength, but Li Wei checked the time and there were still four hours until dawn, so it was still early.

These fragile college students could be knocked out by running for an hour.

So stop practicing with spears or running and take it slow.

"Everyone, walk around the track until dawn to build up your stamina. This isn't for me, it's for yourselves. We won't force you to train. If you get tired, rest for a while before continuing."

He put the loudspeaker away and told Ken to send people out to check the nearby forest. No one could say for sure if any students had run out in a panic or were already outside.

As for Li Wei himself, he naturally sat by the playground, looking at the legs of these female students. He was the boss and didn't need to do any hard labor. However, before eating ice cream, he asked someone to call Lao Wang over.

Seeing the same deadpan expression on Old Wang's face as those students, Li Wei asked.

"I suspect the situation outside is terrible."

"It's beyond bad; the whole country is in chaos. There are even mutated people running around in the streets. The government has declared a state of war, and it's not just Japan; chaos has begun in every place the moonlight shines on."

As he spoke, Old Wang looked at Li Wei with a complicated expression.

"And who are you people?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes at Lao Wang. What kind of look was that? He then looked at another person who had come over. Goto Aki was running over covered in sweat. It had only been ten minutes, and he was already too fragile.

He glanced at the pink-haired loli with disdain; it was obvious that her soul quality was low.

Li Wei ignored her and openly and honestly explained his background, because if the news got out, he might be able to cooperate with the local government.

"Otherworldly mercenaries, taking on jobs everywhere. Don't spout conspiracy theories. We don't grow tentacles on our faces. Your local specialty has nothing to do with us."

As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol and threw it to Old Wang.

"This weapon is far more advanced than yours, and we've been to many worlds, so don't think of us as someone who's here to take over your territory. But because we've seen so much, I can tell you what bad luck has befallen you."

Looking up at the moon, I wondered if this red moon came every day or if it was a seven-day killing. If it came every day and brought a huge wave of zombies, I probably wouldn't last long before being driven out.

And even if no one dies, who can say for sure what the long-term effects of staying in Kro's world might be?

"Mercenaries from another world, how cool! But uncle, what are you guys doing out here?"

Realizing that the little girl in front of him was pretending to be cute to get information out of him, Li Wei stroked his chin and asked curiously.

Do you guys have Dark Souls here?

"Yes, but I've never played it, I've only heard of it."

Li Wei pointed to his own nose and answered.

"That explains it. I am Ashes, and I come out to kill monsters and earn some souls for no other reason than to do so."

"An army of ashes?"

"More or less."

"You pervert, you've been staring the whole time, haven't you? Your eyes were practically glued to those bare thighs."

"Let me see if it's illegal."
