1485 Moving Between Cities
“How can we go towards the next shielded zone?” Right now, my mindset has changed. I could increase the effective range of my cube using bones. I didn’t overdo it before. Yet right now I got my mind changed about such a thing.
I’d better take all the jumpers in one zone in one go, better than just watching all of them enjoy their peaceful lives, when my warriors were risking everything to save their lives.
Screw them all! I hate jumpers, I hate them since the moment I met that jerk back in the early days of the apocalypse.
“As I said, we got two ways to do it,” Mou didn’t get what I had in my mind towards his entire race, “we can go through the tunnels, or… We can just go outside.”
I got what he meant by saying that. I looked at him, and his wound that he previously caused was still far from healing.
“Let’s go through tunnels then,” I decided, looking at the grand gathering of my warriors around this city, “let’s go to another city then.”
“Sure,” he shrugged, leading me towards another city while I kept thinking about how many shielded zones I’d create using this method of mine.
I’d spend lots of bones this way. However for me this wasn’t something troublesome. I’d first spend the common and normal bones, then use the special dark realm bones.
If I managed to get one shielded zone in just one go, then things would end fast for me. Dealing with each zone wouldn’t take more than ten minutes. So what remained now was how long we’d take to travel between different zones.
If it takes too much, then it’d be bad. I’d prefer to watch this Mou and others of the golden masks bleed rather than wasting more time running inside the tunnels.
After all, travelling in space was much easier and a lot faster.
Mou led the way down the all crowded streets with my densely packed warriors, waiting for their chance to gain access towards the tunnels underground.
I thought for a moment there to lead all of them down with me, take them towards the other zones. However when I thought more about that, I knew I didn’t need to do any of that.
Actually I could go back and install any portals, linking these zones with my warriors in the other half of the world I left behind.
As for the capacity of the tunnels to take all these warriors, it was something I’d need to put to test. It’d be great if the net of tunnels was so huge, enough to take in all these warriors without getting overlapped with each other or being too crowded.
“There,” Mou pointed towards a direction, where I spotted a building with a unique mark over its top.
It was the mark of a giant spider web, taking almost the top of this dome shaped building.
I looked around, but couldn’t find any sign for the entrance he told me about. “It’s just under the dome,” he seemed to get my confusion, added in explanation, “once inside, you’ll find a portal that’ll lead towards the tunnel network.”

“Back in the day, it seemed that our numbers weren’t as much as they are now,” he paused before adding, “besides, only few of us are needed to serve in the army.”
“Ah, these elites you mentioned before, right?” I started to get a negative opinion about the jumper race, as a bunch of cowards and opportunistics.
“We have different tasks to do,” he cleared his throat, as if that shameless dude felt a little ashamed of what I got from his words.
“Ok…” I turned my attention towards the building, “we need to find a way to level it to the ground.”
“Level it?” before he’d add anymore, I took out my glaive, waved it a couple of times in the air, before finally attacking the dome shaped building.
*Boom!* One hit was enough to take this old building down. The rocks fell and a portal appeared as he told me before.
It wasn’t as giant as my twin devices’ portals, but it was enough to satisfy the needs of my warriors.
“Let’s go.”
“What?! Aren’t we going in?!”
He looked at me in silence. If not for that golden mask, I’d see a deep shock over his face at this moment.
“I changed my mind,” seeing such a narrow entrance of this old building made me realise it was going to take a long time for my warriors to arrive at the tunnels.
Like this, they had to pass through such a narrow entrance that wouldn’t let many arrive at the portal.
Instead, it’d be much easier for my warriors to go directly towards the portals.
I decided, I’d visit lots of cities before I’d go towards another zone.
Doing this would elongate my stay here, however it also was essential for my forces to go into the tunnels and arrive at the hot zones quite fast.
“Where is the tunnel here?” I asked the moment I went towards the next city, and Mou couldn’t help but point towards a building that was in the centre of the city.
After visiting more than five cities, I started to notice the place of these buildings. They were all in the central zone of any city, recognised by their domes.
I used my glaive, hit these buildings once, demolished them, exposing the portals lying underneath them.
After spending a few hours doing this, I finally found it was enough. I used my horn and instructed everyone of my warriors to seek the portals in each city and use the directions stated down there to go to the hot zones.
Per Mou words, the hot zones were demonstrated by a skull surrounded with fire.
