Chapter 181: Chapter 92 Arrival (Please Subscribe~ Request Monthly Pass~)
Shouts echoed, filled with murderous intent.
Simmons maintained the secret technique, allowing his voice to echo within the prison, yet not a whisper spilled out.
Eilot monitored the ground, alert to every rustle.
Raymond sensed everyone’s heartbeat.
When such heartbeats stayed in sync—
This ‘sniper’ cried out once more,
“We need to take action now!”
“I have a hidden weapons cache at Hans Port. Although it’s not enough to arm everyone, and the weapons aren’t the latest models, it’s only temporary, because...”
“Our enemies have them!”
“What we need is to take back what belongs to us from their hands—our weapons, equipment, food, and ammunition!”
“Now, move out!”
As the words fell, Raymond began making individual contact.
“Boyer, I’m counting on you!”
“Please, make a way forward for everyone!” Raymond said.
“Leave it to me, captain!”
In a certain spot on the lowest level of the prison, a portly prisoner lifted a ‘secret passage,’ sticking his head inside.
Then, he sucked in forcefully.
Whoosh!
The soil in the passage loosened and started to flow into the mouth of the prisoner named Boyer.
Quickly, the passage expanded.
Yet Boyer’s figure showed no change.
He could eat soil.
And he had a unique way of storing it.
Merely half an hour later, the passage widened.
The prisoners scrambled through the tunnel.
“Nozan, it’s your turn now. I’m depending on you,” Raymond said.
“Alright, captain!”
A sinister voice answered.
Then, a tall, slender figure raised a hand, and a thin mist covered all the prisoners. In the next moment, those touched by the mist disappeared without a trace.
The overextended Nozan swayed as if about to fall.
At this moment, the gaunt Eilot steadied Nozan.
A continuous flow of strength poured into Nozan’s body.
“Eilot, that’s enough, conserve your strength,”
“There’s still so much ahead where we will need your power.”
Once he could stand, Nozan struggled to pull his arm free and flashed a weary smile at the skeletal Eilot.
“Don’t worry,”
“This little expenditure is nothing to me.”
“Besides...”
“Once on the surface, those enemies will be enough to replenish my strength.”
Eilot, ghastly as a skeleton, supported Nozan once more,
Daylight came.
Dennise, with dark circles under her eyes, stared blankly at the rising sun.
How could this be?
I clearly just wanted to finish this chapter before going to sleep.
How could it be day already?
“It’s an illusion!”
“I must have fallen asleep and accidentally turned the pages!”
“No!”
“It’s the book that touched me first, then I opened it!”
Dennise emphasized.
Then, she wrapped herself in the book and fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.
Coiling up to gain warmth?
Sorry, that’s not necessary.
Undead aren’t afraid of the cold.
So, Dennise slept spread-eagled and... drooled, smacking her lips.
“Meaty bone... yummy... give me more...”
In the low murmur of her dreams, Dennise slept even more soundly.
Breakfast?
She wouldn’t miss it.
Because Jason would call her.
Even if he didn’t call her, she’d wake up if she smelled it.
But Jason, whom Dennise had high hopes for, was somewhat frantic at the moment.
Looking at the two thick stacks of papers on his desk, Jason felt his eyes were dry, his temples were swollen, and his entire brain was groggy.
Jason was not someone who disliked reading.
But for the first time, Jason realized how tediously dull reading could be.
He recognized every single word on these documents.
But when they were strung together, why couldn’t he understand a thing?
“Does Gerard have to review so many documents every day?” Jason couldn’t help but ask Little Reed, who was assisting him with his office work.
“Only half a day’s worth.”
“This is just from yesterday afternoon, the documents for this morning will arrive at noon.”
“You need to review them before dinner after you’ve had lunch,” corrected Little Reed.
Jason couldn’t help but rub his temples.
But he wasn’t someone who gave up easily.
Especially since he had promised Gerard.
So...
He tossed the quill back into the holder and stood up to walk outside.
“Sir Gerard, you...”
“Book learning is shallow, practice brings true knowledge,” Jason said, without looking back, striding confidently forward.
Just as Jason was about to step through the door frame, a series of rapid footsteps rang out—
Tap, tap tap!
“Urgent message!”
