Chapter 73: 73. Fighting a level 20

Dexter broke off one of the light poles on the bridge as he threw it towards the creature.

'Yesterday it had two arms and even legs, I wasn't hallucinating.'' Dexter mumbled as the pole flew towards the creature.

As the pole touched the body of the creature it bounced off and the whale titan looked backwards to see who tickled it.

It looked to see Dexter on the bridge looking at it with furrowed brows.

All of a sudden it swam deeper into the water and Dexter wondered what it was up to.

He turned and glanced at the car which was already heading out of the bridge and he sighed as he looked at the destroyed bridge that once decorated with hundreds of dazzling lights.

What was once a sight to behold, now nothing but a reminder of how peaceful the world used to be.

Below the bridge, the whale suddenly emerged from the water with its large mouth open and it raised it's arms and grabbed the bridge before biting off the part Dexter was at.

...

Tracy closed her mouth as she saw Dexter get gobbled up by the titan and she couldn't help but stop the car and look at the wheel.

''No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...'' Tracy mumbled the words over and over again but she turned when she heard low whimpering and she turned to see Hannah in pain.

''Yes, the base. We'll make it.'' Tracy said as she looked back again before driving towards the camp that was a little bit far away.

...

A person appeared in front of a shadow of a pole on the bridge and he looked down to see the whale swallow nothing but stones.

''That thing could be a level 20 monster.'' Dexter mumbled before sighing and he looked at the car that vanished into the forest of buildings.

'They won't be safe driving without protection.' Dexter thought before vanishing again from the shadow of the pole.

He appeared in the shadow of a building where the car was about to pass and he ran after it at top speed and hopped on top.

Dexter looked at the straight road to see a large fence which blocked out a lot of things and he smiled at it.

'Seems like they already adapted.' He thought with a smile.

Hearing a low thud on top of the car, Tracy was startled but she continued to drive straight towards the camp which was just in the distance.

"Don't worry it's just me." Dexter mumbled as he heard her heart beating very fast.

Tracy's heart began to beat even faster and Dexter sighed tiredly.

"I'm not a ghost too. I'll explain some things when we get there." Dexter said.

The two girls have been indoors for the past two weeks so he wasn't too bothered by the fact that Tracy was freaked out by his abilities.

"D... Dexter..." Tracy manages to mumble and Dexter looked ahead of the car to see a few monsters running towards them.

"I'm Marco by the way. This white haired fellow is Dreg. We lead the team that defend the walls from being destroyed." Marco, the guy with Dreads said and Dexter nodded.

They were taken to the medical area and Dexter laid Hannah on a bed and he sat beside her while Tracy stood on the other side with her head down.

"Give us a moment to properly bandage her wound." A woman in a lab coat said and Dexter nodded before leaving the place with Tracy there.

"They should have arrived." Dexter mumbled before leaving the medical area.

He looked around to see unfamiliar faces and he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Seeing Marco walking towards the wall he went towards him.

"Hey, Marco. Is there any group that came here maybe two days or a day ago?" Dexter asked.

"Oh, it's you. And no, there hasn't been another survival group since a week ago." Marco said with a hand on his chin.

"So what's your name?"

"Dexter." He replied.

"Hm. You're quite strong. I saw the way you burnt those creatures to ashes, why don't you join in defence or offense teams." Marco said and Dexter looked at him with a raised brow.

"What's in it for me?" Dexter asked as he saw defending a bunch of people who won't fend for themselves kind of stupid.

"We get to save humanity and rebuild our world as the Tiran said." Marco wrapped an arm around Dexter's shoulder.

"Hm. You could just show people how to get stronger. There's strength in numbers with strength." Dexter said as he gazed around to look at the people's faces.

"Yeah, we've already picked out all the people who were brave enough. Look on the walls..."

Dexter looked up to see people on the walls looking at the surroundings and Dexter was astonished at how thick the wall was and how it was done.

"Those are the defence team. Most of them have gained long range skills." Marco explained.

'There are more than a hundred of them.' Dexter nodded with that thought.

"What of the offense team?"

"They're currently out to hunt a powerful creature." Marco said and Dexter was rest assured.

"I'll think about joining one of the teams." Dexter said and Marco shook his head with a smile.

"I haven't seen the head of the camp." Dexter said.

'The General is supposed to be here too.' Dexter furrowed hus brows.

"Well, actually--" Before Marco could complete his sentence the gates opened up and a group of people came in with a large monster corpse which still had fresh blood.

Dexter smiled as he saw his old buddies Beatrice, Chapman, and Johnny amongst them and they were shocked to see him too and dropped the giant bull.
