UNDYING WARLORD

Starting from scratch was difficult.

However, doing the same with more than 2500 other people in a world flooded by monsters, mutated animals and mythical beasts was even more difficult.

Dilan and his people had claimed a huge factory for the purpose of starting a new life.

The outer premises of the factory had enough space for more than a hundred buses to stay but that was obvious because the factory they had claimed was both one of the biggest warehouses and toy manufacturing factories in the whole country.

Nearly all factories and warehouses in Shiron had belonged to big firms and companies that were well known.

That was also why many people had wanted to be employed by them. This resulted in the appearance of numerous cities around Shiron.

The city itself didn’t grow fast simply because the mayor wanted the city to be known as the city of technology, an industrial superpower, and so on. There weren’t many buildings other than factories and companies inside Shiron.

However, the villages and cities around were a different matter as they developed fast.

For Dilan and the others, the only important criteria were that they should have lots of space for all of them to stay. It was not necessary to separate his people and make them stay in multiple factories yet, and by reconstructing the warehouse and the toy factory, there would be more than enough space for everyone.

The space outside was also vast, while the fences around it blocked off the low-leveled zombies._-.

Others would be able to pass through but Kathrine, Sven, and their people from the Porter Unit would soon install a security system all over their new home to warn them of potential trespassers.

The factory didn’t have a huge kitchen, let alone a big cafeteria. However, that was fine because they could simply build a huge kitchen for themselves, by taking everything from the surrounding restaurants that had been abandoned.

Simultaneously, sleeping spaces were created as mattresses were laid out properly after the ground had been cleaned a little bit.

It was already late evening when everyone was done with the bare minimum of cleaning a large area and prepared to go to sleep.

Bianne prepared dinner for everyone and all of them ate silently without a word.

However, one could clearly feel that most Survivors were much more at ease than before.

If they had been worried to death just half a day earlier, their current mood was anything but gloomy.

“I like it here. We might not have as much privacy as we had in the hospital but I believe that is something we can change as well. We should have a few construction workers here. As long as we procure everything, we might get permission from Dilan and the others to build large places for everyone.

At least we should have a separate space for men and women, an infirmary, and so on…”

“Maybe we can even start farming on the roof. It should be safe enough and the flat roof has a lot of space.”

“No, the roof should be used for the Ascenders to practice combat, so that the new ones can sweat in the bright sun while staying safe!”

“I think Dilan will claim the alloy manufacturing factory next to us as well. Old Jeff needs a forge and the alloy manufacturing factory would be best for him to get everything he needs. Maybe the big space of the alloy factory will be used for farming, or to create a proper training place for the newer Ascenders.”

Hundreds of Survivors were excitedly gossiping about their new life, and discussing what they would do now in the new chapter of their life that was about to begin and all the new changes they would face soon.

There were also more than enough Survivors who were scared, dissatisfied with the change, and mourning for the life they had left behind since the Primordial Ascension had occurred.

However, the negativity of some Survivors didn’t affect Dilan or the others in any way. All of them were quite satisfied with themselves and unaffected by the negative thoughts of their comrades.

They were still alive and that was all that mattered.

“My weakened state shouldn’t last longer than a few more days. Tomorrow, I will see if there are some permanent Gates on Shiron.

The Scout Unit should get their hands on a map of Shiron, the surrounding cities, and the landscape so that they can start marking the dangerous areas, where Gates are located, and possible training areas for weak Ascenders.

I don’t want to get any reports about deaths, so don’t die, guys, alright?”

Dilan’s mood was far from okay because his mind was constantly being dragged back to Mason, his death, and the guilt he was still feeling.

However, his mood didn’t change the fact that their new home was quite decent, that there were, at least, ten Gates less than 40 kilometers away from Shiron and that the Shikan plains were a decent place for Tier-1 Ascenders to become stronger.

A wide variety of monsters resided on the Shikan planes, and there should be an even bigger variety within the Gates.

If not for his mood, he would have been exhilarated to enter the Gates, tear his opponents apart, and quench his thirst for dangerous fights as quickly as possible.

“What about everyone else? I think the Elite Combat Unit should follow the scouts. We cannot be certain that they won’t encounter any dangers. As for the Auxiliary unit, they need more resources to produce goods now that many of them have gotten ability crystals suitable for the occupation they want to pursue in the Ancient Path of Advancement.”

Williams pointed out only a few things pertaining to only two units at that. It was no problem to take care of the Ascenders, who focused on combat. They could clear the city, search for Gates, or simply fight monsters.

However, the other Ascenders, especially those who picked occupations such as <Farmer>, <Lumberjack>, <Master of Mining>, <Great Engineer> when they advanced to Tier-1 via the Ancient Paths of Advancement, needed to complete specific tasks to fulfill their job’s description.

There were also many Ascenders, who were eager to upgrade their occupation. Dilan was amongst these people as well.

It was only obvious that one wanted to increase their strength or efficiency by advancing their abilities.

However, this was not as easy as it might seem.

Dilan could injure himself severely right now, often enough to advance his ability to Tier-1, or possibly farther.

But each severe injury would prolong the remaining duration of his weakened state.

This was not something Dilan wanted to happen right now as the dangers of the surroundings were uncertain.

And even if it was safe for now, that didn’t mean it would stay like that!

He once made a big mistake by injuring himself severely and potentially allowing a psychopath to kill his people. As such, Dilan had to be careful when to injure himself severely, how long he would be incapable of fighting in his peak state, and so on.

Meanwhile, his other abilities had a special condition to advance, which made it quite difficult because he only knew how his Immunity ability could be upgraded.

As for the other upgrade requirements, they were still invisible to him. Everyone else had faced a similar situation. If they met one requirement to upgrade an ability, it would be possible to see the remaining conditions as well.

After the upgrade, one would still see the requirements, which made things much easier.

Unfortunately, there was more than enough time, when it was quite difficult to meet the first requirement of an ability.

Dilan’s [Thunder Step] was the best example of this. He was not sure what its upgrade requirements were, or how long it would take him to see its upgrade requirements!

Well, he had an inkling but Dilan had yet to test it out, simply because it was quite suicidal.

But it was not as if acting suicidal scared him…
