Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 320 Eternal Kingdom

The news was relayed by Qian qian: Keke had awakened, but with significant changes compared to before. Alex was quite excited, and her awakening at this crucial moment seemed to suggest something more. This thought alone stirred excitement in Alex.

From the information provided by Qian qian and the others, it was evident that Keke had undergone substantial changes, displaying characteristics she had never shown before. Data was still being observed continuously, and Alex was thrilled; Keke's transformation was undoubtedly a positive development for him.

The skeletal warriors that had suddenly appeared were likely from another civilization. If Keke's transformation could assist him in this regard, then conquering other civilizations might be within reach. The Noah supercomputer was already analyzing the situation, and Alex believed it wouldn't be long before conclusions were drawn.

Now, he needed to return to Keke's side as quickly as possible to see what kind of changes had occurred. However, soon after, Avril brought some unsettling news.

"King, we have discovered some traces of a civilization not from this planet in the northwest direction of the city, and they have already posed a significant threat," Avril reported. She had matured a lot compared to before and addressed Alex as "King," a sign of her deep respect.

Upon hearing this, Alex's lips twitched slightly. "Send out two vampire teams first to see what's happening." Alex did not want to waste words. Tasks that could be handled by the vampires and human communities were not for him to do personally.

However, Avril hesitated when he said this. "What's the matter?" Alex glanced at Avril, who was dressed exactly to his liking today, but her attitude caused him some dissatisfaction.

"We had already sent a small team earlier, but there has been no word from them, and remote monitoring shows no signs of life," Avril reported with a grave expression. According to Alex's instructions, every team sent out was equipped with a communicator or contact device. So the absence of signals from these devices indicated one thing: the complete loss of the dispatched team.

"What!" Alex's brows furrowed upon hearing this. He did not doubt Avril's judgment, as it was unlikely that she would deceive him about such a matter. However, this posed a significant problem. If these foreign civilizations dared to provoke them, they must have some confidence in their actions.

"Lead the remaining vampires immediately towards the northwest, and I'll follow right away," Alex commanded, his expression growing serious. He knew the most critical issue now was to ascertain the strength of these adversaries. Otherwise, if a conflict arose, it would be challenging to manage.

...

Meanwhile, in the northwest direction from the city, two or three of the golden skeletons Alex had killed earlier reappeared, now armed with high-tech weapons and steadily advancing towards Alex's city.

About half an hour later, Avril and a small vampire squad arrived at the scene. The two groups faced off immediately, with no room for negotiation.

Avril's group was equipped with the most advanced weapons available on the planet, so initially, there was little panic during the confrontation. However, as time passed, the weapons wielded by the golden skeletons proved increasingly formidable, and Avril's accompanying vampires suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Avril finally realized the gravity of the danger.

But it was too late. One by one, the vampire soldiers beside her fell, leaving Avril alone on the battlefield.

"Take her back for our captain to enjoy," spoke one of the golden skeletons, eyeing Avril as though she were a delicacy. Despite her tattered clothes, they could not conceal her fiery curves and her flawless skin. This woman was truly a prize, and the golden skeleton was clearly pleased.

"You wish!" Avril retorted coldly, wielding her long sword and charging at the golden skeleton, determined not to give in.

"Ignorant life form," the golden skeleton chuckled, putting away its weapon and preparing to face Avril with bare hands. However, just as they were about to clash, the golden skeleton suddenly felt a heavy blow to its back and was sent flying. When it landed, it found that the comrade who had been standing next to it was already dead on the ground.

"Who?" it roared in anger, but there was no response from the surroundings. This prompted it to activate its detection abilities. But just as it started, an unknown force repelled the ability back into its body.

"How is this possible?" The golden skeleton was shocked; it had never encountered such a phenomenon. Could it be that the strong being who had attacked them last time was still on this planet? As it pondered in confusion, Avril seized the opportunity to strike, thrusting her sword towards the golden skeleton's neck.

But just as the sword was mere millimeters from the golden skeleton, it paused. The golden skeleton, its gaunt arms reaching out, grasped Avril's long sword tightly. Its expression was ferocious, and its eyes glowed blood-red.

With a fierce roar, the golden skeleton's strength surged, and it instantly wrested the long sword from Avril's grip.

Then the golden skeleton grabbed Avril.

"Let go of me, you bastard!" Avril struggled fiercely, but the skeleton's strength was too great, and she couldn't break free.

"Get lost!" Just then, a cold voice rang out. Alex jumped down from the cliff, giving the golden skeleton a glance.

Seeing Alex, the skeleton's expression fluctuated, and for a brief second, it even considered retreating. "I advise you to surrender peacefully, otherwise, I won't mind giving you a taste of pain," Alex said coldly, his tone chilling to the bone.

"Who exactly are you?" the golden skeleton stared at Alex and, after a moment of silence, asked.

"You don't need to know," Alex replied indifferently.

"Since you're seeking death, I'll oblige!" The golden skeleton was hot-tempered, and although it had been smooth sailing for them until now and it felt some fear of the person before it, this was not enough to make it back down.
