Chapter 68: To Protect

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

The streets were in chaos. Fleshworm dire beasts were wreaking havoc everywhere. Countless innocent ordinary people were fleeing frantically. However, these dire beasts could reach roofs and walls and get to almost everywhere. Even if people lived in tall buildings, the fleshworm dire beasts could scale

them easily.

Moreover, no one knew how the fleshworm dire beasts parasitized people. How could they guard against the dire beasts when they did not even know how the parasitism occurred? No one could be certain if they would be parasitized.

In just a few hours, the vast Dragonlith City had fallen into chaos.

Swish.

After Lin Feng chopped off the head of a fleshworm dire beast with a slash, a middle-aged man in a formal suit suddenly appeared on the huge screen in the square.

It wasn’t just the huge screen in the square. Almost all the television screens showed the figure of the middle-aged man. The citizens of Dragonlith recognized at a glance that the middle-aged man was the mayor of Dragonlith City.

‘The mayor’s expression was somber. He said in a heavy tone, “All citizens of Dragonlith City, in light of the severe dire beast attack in Dragonlith City, which is still escalating, we hereby announce the order of the municipal government. The entire city is under martial law and military regulation with

immediate effect. No one is allowed to leave Dragonlith City without permission. Violators are to be charged with crimes against humanity!”

“Citizens, do not panic. Stay at home as much as possible. We have already requested reinforcement from other cities. Reinforcements will arrive soon. Also, our researchers are working at top speed to study the methods of parasitism and transmission of the dire beasts. I believe we will be able to quell

the dire beast attack soon.”

“Thereby call on all citizens and martial artists of Dragonlith City. You can pick up weapons and kill dire beasts to protect yourself and your family. All members of the municipal government will also stand firm in Dragonlith City and fight with all the citizens to the last moment!”

As the mayor’s figure disappeared, the crowd on the entire street broke out of their silence all of a sudden. Martial law was being implemented in Dragonlith City, it was under military control, and they were not allowed to leave.

Everyone knew what this meant. It meant that they were trapped in Dragonlith City. Once Dragonlith City was captured by these dire beasts, they could only die with Dragonlith City.

For a moment, various wails and curses filled the air. The morale of the entire city had been broken entirely.

Lin Feng naturally knew about the mayor’s notice as well. He also knew what this entailed. However, unlike ordinary people, he saw things from the government’s perspective as well.

Right now, these fleshworm dire beasts could clearly parasitize humans and the method of transmission was still unclear. If the people of Dragonlith City were allowed to leave, like a plague or other infectious diseases, it would pose danger to other places.

Martial law must be implemented in Dragonlith City. Moreover, those who left Dragonlith City previously must be quarantined.

However, these were questions that officials or inhuman experts should be concerned with. All Lin Feng could do now was to kill, and kill all the dire beasts!

Although Dragonlith City was in complete chaos, with the involvement of the government, the police, the army, and the martial artists all began to hunt down the fleshworm dire beasts on a large scale. Hence, the entire city gradually calmed down amidst the bloody slaughter.

However, apart from the damage caused by the ravages of the dire beasts, there were also disasters committed by humans. Upon knowing that they would very likely go down with Dragonlith City, many began turning into maniacs.

Sin also grew rapidly.

“No, please, don’t hurt my daughter…”

Awoman with an attractive figure in professional wear was pleading desperately with a few men.

“Heh, we can release your daughter if you want. Let us have some fun. Make us all happy and we’ll release your daughter.”

A lewd and sinister smile appeared on these people’s lips, causing the beautiful woman’s heart to clench.

No, I’ll pay you. Please don’t hurt me.”

“Haha, what’s the use of money? Do you know that our entire city is about to be destroyed? Perhaps in a few days, this place will become a dead city. Of course we have to enjoy ourselves before we die, haha.

“That’s right. We have to enjoy ourselves. This woman is gorgeous. I heard that she’s the secretary of some company’s president. Gee, look at her figure…”

‘These men approached the woman step by step, and the woman could only curl up and clench her clothes tightly. It was an apocalyptic world. The entire Dragonlith City seemed to have turned into an apocalyptic world all of a sudden.

There was no order, no justice; only violence, killing, robbery and rape. This kind of tragedy happened every moment in the city.

Swish.

suddenly, the sinister smile of the leading man froze. Immediately after, his head lolled slightly to the side, before falling off all of a sudden. Blood gushed out like a spring.

“Ahhh”

The woman immediately screamed. The man’s companions also turned around abruptly, and realized that a young man holding a saber had appeared behind them at some point in time.

“M-martial artist.”

“Sp-spare us. It was a moment of confusion. We didn’t mean to do it.”

‘These men’s legs began to tremble. Although the order in the city had collapsed overnight, there were still some righteous martial artists who stepped up to hunt down dire beasts and punish criminals.

“You all deserve to die!”

He raised his hand and struck down with the saber, killing the few men with a single slash.

The one who killed them was Lin Feng. Along the way of hunting down dire beasts, he discovered that the number of dire beasts had decreased rapidly, but the number of crimes committed by humans had increased tremendously. They were almost ubiquitous.

In despair, many people would go insane. Lin Feng would not show any mercy to people who had no bottom line when acting on their insanity. Desperate times called for desperate measures. He would kill them all.

Furthermore, the government had also issued a notice regarding this situation. The police and the military were involved. Anyone who committed crimes were to be executed without mercy.

“Thank you for saving us.”

The beautiful woman hurriedly hugged her daughter and expressed her gratitude to Lin Feng.

“Go home. Stay at home and don’t come out.”

With that, Lin Feng turned around and started hunting the dire beasts again.

For the entire day, Lin Feng did not rest at all. He killed all the dire beasts he saw immediately, and killed anyone who went berserk and committed crimes.

Lin Feng killed many and saved many at the same time. In the end, he had already cleared a few streets. At least those streets were temporarily safe.

However, Lin Feng knew that no matter how many people he killed, it wouldn’t be of much use. Only by giving the people of this city hope could the order in the city be restored.

But where was the hope? Lin Feng did not know either. He was not a researcher and could not find out how the fleshworm dire beasts parasitized people. Even he was worried about the possibility of being parasitized himself.

Back at the frontline, Lin Feng was also a little lost. Occasionally, he would even pity those dire beasts. But now, looking at the hellish scene in Dragonlith City, he finally understood the significance of martial artists being at the frontline.

It was to protect—to protect the peace of humanity on the homefront, and to protect the peaceful lives of humans on the homefront.

Buzz.

suddenly, Lin Feng’s communicator vibrated violently. A familiar voice rang out. “Brother Feng, come and save us quick. I can’t hold out much longer
