My Doomsday Territory

Chapter 18 Limitation of Population

Inside the main hall.

Tang Yu’s waist is half-stretched half-lying on the soft sofa. His lazy figure seemed to be sinking in.

“Oh, what depravity…”

The constantly looming lack of source crystal was finally resolved, relieving Tang Yu all of this worry at once.

The method of acquiring source crystals by hunting monsters has now become increasingly ineffectual. Every time a demonized beast is hunted, one has to spend a lot of time just searching for it.

So much time is spent on this single task, making things become a bit awkward.

While others are eager to run away from these demonized beasts, Tang Yu is eager to encounter them.

Tang Yu has now come to an understanding as to why this place is considered safe. This place is as far away from the abyss rift as possible.

Aside from the demon wave disaster, the number of demonized beasts found in this remote location is really too few.

The focus of their searches has now shifted to just search for supplies. Tang Yu no longer held expectations in encountering the demonized beasts.

In his mind, Tang Yu sensed Roger sending a message through his contract powers.

He was informed that Chen Haiping is looking for him.

After a moment of thought, he recalled asking Chen Haiping to take a full inventory of the guns and ammunition left by Han Jing’s group. The harvest reaped this time was so great that he had forgotten all about this.

“Oh…” Tang Yu considered for two seconds and said: “Escort him to the castle.”

…………

“Head to Villa No. 1?” Chen Haiping was a little surprised.

Villa No. 1 has always been a forbidden area. Only Leader Tang and several of his followers were eligible to enter that place. He knows his status is far inferior to those masters, and it’s impossible to say he wasn’t envious of them.

Now, is he qualified to enter that place?

In his previous shelter, he was excluded from the core circle because he wasn’t Wang Tai’s direct subordinate. But now, in just a few days, he has gained Leader Tang’s trust.

Chen Haiping felt moved.

At the same time, he also felt curious about what was inside Villa No. 1.

He wondered why this place was sealed off and treated as a restricted area.

Following Roger’s footsteps, Chen Haiping walked past Villa No. 3 and Villa No. 2…

“There is no difference in the surrounding environment. If I had to say what was different, then I’d say it looked a little bit cleaner…” These are Chen Haiping impressions. But suddenly, his mind was completely in shock.

“Am I blind?”

Not far away, a castle unexpectedly stands in place of what used to be Villa No. 1.

Although the castle is small, it occupies a little more land than the original single-family villa. Since the villas in this resort are all uniform in style, when one was suddenly replaced by a castle. Chen Haiping thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

This castle was absolutely not there before!

As he walked closer, he can see the castle more clearly up close. The silvery-white exterior walls and dark blue spire roof all seemed to be so unreal.

Chen Haiping hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out and knocking on the outer gate.

It was hard and solid…

The castle gate then opened up.

He followed Roger and went inside.

As soon as he enters the gate, he felt as if he had stepped into another world.

The current season in the world outside is sultry summer with the wind bringing along a dry heat as it breezes on by. This gives rise to an unbearable heat as the days pass on.

The moment he stepped inside the castle, it was as if he had crossed the dividing line which seemed to represent two worlds. The whole atmosphere had changed immediately!

All the dry heat had dissipated and was replaced by a very hospitable temperature. He felt like he was being soaked in a stream as a cool breeze blew across his cheek.

Even the air is filled with a freshness that seemed to permeate deeply into his heart and soul.

Chen Haiping only felt his pores opening up as the buildup of fatigue from this past couple of days had mostly dissipated.

Of course, he knows all of this was an illusion. But the environment here is truly comfortable.

“Is it possible an air conditioner is installed in this place? But this cool refreshing air couldn’t be from air conditioning alone, right? Air conditioners don’t feel so comfortable…?”

He secretly thought about it and then felt there was something off after stepping into this place.

He saw a red carpet covering the whole floor, the wooden furniture made with sandalwood and the wall lamps… Each was inlaid on the wall like shimmering crystals…

Chen Haiping has become suspicious about how he’s lived his life up until now.

…………

“Leader, I have taken inventory on the collection of guns and ammunition. There are 23 pistols of all types, 15 automatic rifles of all types, one portable rocket launcher with five remaining rockets, many grenades and thousands of bullets remaining.”

Speaking of these weapons, Chen Haiping smiled and added: “With so many guns, it’ll be much easier for the shelter to rebuild its line of defence.”

Tang Yu added: “Is that so, but that’s not all. I’ve just found two light machine guns, several automatic rifles and so on. I’ve also found something good…”

“Something good?” Chen Haiping wondered what it was before he saw Tang Yu pull out a long-barreled object from under the table: “This is… A sniper rifle!” The M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle! Unexpectedly, we can get our hands on this kind of thing. With this weapon, we can even remotely snipe and kill some of the more dangerous demonized beasts!”

When humans face this kind of weapon, it will almost always be a lethal threat. This gun can also cause massive damage when used against demonized beasts. If well-utilized, there may be many more means of using this weapon in battle.

“Not bad.” Tang Yu nodded and said: “From now on, this sniper rifle will be yours.”

“My, mine? This gift is too precious.” Chen Haiping couldn’t believe his ears.

Tang Yu passes the sniper rifle over.

“Your marksmanship is good, and only in your hands will this sniper rifle give full play of its maximum value. If you feel you cannot give full play of its value, then treat it as me lending it to you. For now, use this sniper rifle well to kill the demonized beasts, so as not to bury its value…”

If this sniper rifle is placed beside him, it can only be used as a decoration. Roger and Elaine, without mentioning how to use this gun, don’t even need this kind of weapon.

A weapon, if they cannot give full play of its value, is just a decoration.

As it just so happens, among his people, Chen Haiping is very proficient with firearms. Tang Yu has seen Chen Haiping shooting down the demonized beasts with his pistol.

“Yes!” Chen Haiping took a deep breath and said: “I will not disappoint the leader or bury the value of this sniper rifle.”

He solemnly puts away the sniper rifle and suddenly thought of something: “Leader, those people from before were sent by one of the Lindong bosses. Now that those people have fallen here, I’m afraid their boss may not give this place up.”

He was worried. So he asked Tang Yu about what countermeasures he wanted to take.

“Countermeasures? Don’t worry, that boss isn’t the head of the military nor is the army at their beck and call. No matter how strong they are, as long as they don’t attack us with a modern army, there will be no issues. Besides, those people have all fallen here. If the boss in Lindong wants to clearly understand the situation, I’m afraid it will take a lot of time for them to come and investigate. In short, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Chen Haiping felt a little worried. However, after looking at Tang Yu and Roger and finding that neither of them looked worried. On the contrary, Roger looked filled with murderous intent. He let it go.

Originally, he wanted to come and persuade the leader to relocate the shelter elsewhere. But now, he couldn’t open his mouth.

The boss in Lindong has a far stronger army compared to theirs. However, Leader Tang doesn’t seem to be a person who does anything without certainty.

From the very beginning, he felt the idea of establishing a shelter was too bold. Up until now, he didn’t believe that Tang Yu had this ability.

Perhaps…

Leader Tang also has a card up his sleeve which can help deal with the Lindong boss?

Though Chen Haiping couldn’t think of what it could be, he was willing to believe in Tang Yu.

He no longer held thoughts of leaving.

If he leaves here, he won’t have to worry about the boss in Lindong. But Chen Haiping doesn’t want to continue living in a world like this anymore.

There are just some things that he must stand up for.

Like helping Leader Tang build up this shelter. Whether for fame, profit or some belief, he wants to give it a shot.

Failure isn’t so terrible. What is truly terrible is losing his self and living life like a hallow walking corpse.

If he can’t persuade Leader Tang to relocate to a new place, then Chen Haiping can only try his best to help.

He can help train survivors in improving their shooting ability to bolster the shelter’s defence force.

The rest will depend on Leader Tang’s hidden card and destiny.

“… However, leader, we still have too few people. We cannot fully utilize these guns.”
