Chapter 1: Collapse of the Base

"Pour the oil!"

"Ready fire!"

"The south gate is about to be breached! Team 1 and Team 2, go and support the south gate!"

"Focus on attacking the flying monsters!"

"Why are we still here?"

"Those with water and lighting powers cooperate with each other!"

"Kill!"

"Move! Don't lessen your fire power!"

"Continue firing at the cyclops below!"

"The people with lightning powers, continue attacking!"

"Change shift! Plant users can rest for 15 minutes!"

Luciel had been fighting continuously for 24 hours already; he could finally rest for a bit, even if it was only 15 minutes.

Looking at the continued streams of monsters coming, he knew that the base was already at its end.

He had been staying at this base for 7 years already. Compared to the other bases, it could be said that it had already survived long enough.

Seven years ago, monsters suddenly appeared in different parts of the world through cracks.

The monsters that appeared were common monsters they often saw in movies and novels, like trolls, goblins, cyclops, spiders, winged lizards, wiverns, undead, and other types of monsters.

With the sudden appearance of monsters, a lot of people died on the day they first appeared. The people who survived went into different settlements organized by the government or other powerful people.

With the appearance of monsters, humanity also gained some power; unfortunately, the growth of humanity can't be compared to the endless appearance of monsters.

Most of the bases were constantly destroyed, so he could say that the base he was staying in had already achieved a great result after standing for 7 years. Unfortunately, it seemed that it wouldn't be able to continue standing for another year.

They had just repelled a monster wave two days ago, so they haven't been able to recover yet. Now that they were facing another wave that seemed to be endless, they knew that the base was destined to be breached. That's why the base has already started its evacuation plan.

"Is the evacuation not yet done?"

"Not yet; it seemed that those wealthy people were dawdling, wanting to get more of their properties."

"I hope they will move faster! Don't they know how hard it is to continue fighting without even a bit of sleep?"

"Unfortunately, we are the last batch of people to evacuate!"

"Let's just bear with it. We don't have any connections like the others, so of course we are in charge of defending the base and evacuating later on."

"I should have sucked up to those in power, while I could!"

Hearing what the others were discussing, Luciel also looked at the north gate and saw that they still hadn't started driving out of the base.

The people who were currently defending the base would be the last batch of people to evacuate, while those with some connections were in charge of protecting the people who were evacuating.

"Change shift! Those with metal powers could rest for 15 minutes!"

Luciel continued to fight for another 20 hours before he heard the announcement of their evacuation.

"Let's start evacuating! The car is already below. Move fast; we need to leave before the walls completely collapse!"

They all started moving down while throwing down their most powerful moves to delay the monsters from destroying the walls.

"Please take me with you!"

"I can do a lot of things; please let me in the car!"

"My son! Please just bring my son with you!"

"I don't want to die! Please take me with you!"

"Please take me with you!"

"Don't block the road!"

As soon as they move downstairs, they can't move as fast as before because a lot of people were trying to squeeze with them.

They were the last batch to evacuate; the people who were still at the base should be all those people who didn't have enough contribution points to the base and were left behind because the transportation vehicles weren't enough.

He had already done his responsibility of fighting the monsters for the base; he can't even guarantee his survival and doesn't have the power to save them. So, he just moved forward with everybody else without looking at the people begging to be taken with them.

"Move fast; this is already the last car!"

"Let's go; we are already overloaded!"

Fortunately, Luciel was able to get on the last vehicle. However, before he could even sigh in relief at being able to survive another day, he was yanked out of the vehicle.

"Sorry buddy! I just want to live for a few more days!" The muscular man said while taking his place in the car.

"F*ck!" Luciel couldn't help but curse, looking at the vehicle that was driving away.

Who doesn't want to survive? He had been fighting almost every day for the past 7 years just because he couldn't bear to kill himself.

Before the apocalypse, it could be said that he had been living a successful life because he was also a popular actor. Even though he hasn't received any notable awards, he was still young, so he still had a lot of time to get some awards. Unfortunately, the apocalypse suddenly came, forcing him to fight monsters to live.

It seemed that he couldn't even keep dreaming of his peaceful life because he was already about to die. Well, surviving for 7 years in such a chaotic world was already good enough.

His only regret was that he couldn't even give a punch to the person who yanked him out of the car before dying.

"The gate was already smashed! Run!"

"Aahhh! Run!"

"I don't want to die!"

"The walls are crumbling!"

"Run!"

Luciel just looked at everyone running in different directions and just prepared his dagger. No matter where they run, the monster would eventually reach them.

Even if he could only mobilize a bit of his power, it was still better to fight as long as he could. He doesn't want to die by making it easy for the monsters to kill him.
