Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

335 The Survivors

Selma Payne’s POV:

Her nonchalant attitude made me angry. “Don’t make it sound like it’s none of your business. Don’t tell me that you didn’t give the werewolf the ability to teleport and that you’re not the one who contaminated the concentrate.”

“This is a fair exchange of equivalent value, my dear.” Leviathan said, “They give me sacrifices, and I give them rewards. Isn’t this the process when your compatriots offer sacrifices to the moon? As for the process, I’ve said that I don’t care about the details.”

This cold-blooded, cruel, and hypocritical fish of good health!

“Anyway, I’m just here to say hello. We haven’t seen each other for three years. I hope you like the trip I gave you before.” Leviathan began to fade.

“We will meet again. I hope you still remember me next time, my dear.”

With that, she disappeared, leaving only a thin veil.

I subconsciously tried to grab her shadow, but the dark blue muslin bypassed my hand and silently dissolved in the stream.

“Damn it!”

I kicked the riverbank in frustration-the other party’s ability to come and go as she pleased irritated me.

However, there was no time to care about my self-esteem now. I didn’t know what the others were like. I immediately left the spiritual world to find my companions.

I woke up on a soft and thick layer of fallen leaves. My surroundings were quiet. No one was ambushing me, and no one was guarding me. I was surrounded by many warriors and elves lying on the ground. They didn’t seem to have suffered any external injuries and were sleeping quietly.

One after another, people woke up. They feigned unconsciousness vigilantly and only dared to open their eyes after I reminded them.

“Oh my god, I feel like my joints are about to freeze.” Even the strongest person would feel uncomfortable after lying on a pile of wet leaves for a night.

The place where we fainted was in front of the gate of Autumn City. We seemed to fall into an illusion when we stepped into Autumn City’s territory.

I quickly regrouped and inspected the casualties before leading everyone back into Autumn City. This time, the scene was much more real, although this reality was not what we wanted to see.

There were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers. The bodies of elves with twisted limbs and scars were scattered in every corner of the streets and alleys. We couldn’t find any living person within a one-kilometer radius. There were obvious traces of an array on the ground. Master Kevin believed it was an enlarged version of the evil sacrificial array used to sacrifice the entire city.

“Sacrifice the entire city? Does that mean that everyone is dead?”

“In theory, yes. However, there are many mistakes in the details of this formation, which may greatly reduce the effect of the sacrifice, and there may be survivors.”

No matter what, we couldn’t just give up on the search and rescue work. Through our relentless search, we finally found a few students hiding in a storage room in a school in the city center.

The storage room door was painted with a spell unique to the elves, and there was a middle-aged elf with a hole in his chest lying on the ground at the door. The teacher must have used a spell to protect the student, but before he could do more, he was killed by his crazy compatriots.

Most of the students had already fainted from hunger and fear. The only one who was awake was very stressed. The hellish experience seemed to have trapped him. He remained unmoved no matter how much Kaya tried to express her goodwill and tell him that she was there to save him. He continued to hold a small knife in his hand and refused to put it down. It seemed like he could pounce on us at any moment and fight us to the death.

Kaya didn’t want to treat him roughly, but there was no other way. She could only cooperate with me to attract his attention so I could quickly pounce on him and knock him out.

The boy didn’t even have time to cry out before he softly fell to the ground. The moment I touched him, I felt an abnormally high temperature. This child was having a high fever.

We also checked the rest of the surviving children. All of them had a fever, and there were many wounds of various sizes on their bodies. I used the black-gold butterfly to heal the children’s bodies and then handed them over to Kaya to handle.

“This is someone from your elven race. It’s not appropriate for us to interfere,” I said.

Kaya first decided to send the children to the neighboring city to recuperate, but there was no safe place around them, as they could be contaminated at any time. She had no choice but to contact the capital. Now that the communication was normal, she decided to bring them back to the capital at the Elf King’s behest.

I couldn’t care less about their internal affairs. I was concerned about the next mission: Should I continue exploring the surrounding cities?

Based on Autumn City’s state, the chances of the surrounding city-states surviving were zero. There were no traces of the wanderers in Autumn City, so it was very likely that they had just finished a big job and left for another place. As a result, there was no telling how many cities had been infiltrated by their people, and they were always on the edge of the pollution outbreak.

At this moment, the army sent by the Elf King had already arrived at the various cities affected by the disaster. The rescue work no longer required external help like ours. When I thought the elves would ask us to leave, Kaya brought me some unexpected news.
