My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 434 - 404 Green Shadow Daily

Floating airships usually remained a topic of conversation.

Most of those qualified to ride the Floating Airships to other Sanctuaries were high-star adventurers.

The majority of the adventurers were just spectators.

For the common survivors, it was even more distant. They would eat, drink and, at most, exclaim, "Ah, there is something flying in the sky!"

They didn’t expect that one day they could ride a Floating Airship and look down upon the scenery of the land from the sky, nor did they have plans to leave Green Shadow... As ordinary people, such a wonderful and fulfilling life couldn’t be found elsewhere.

But common people also had channels to learn about the outside world.

"Give me a copy of the Green Shadow Daily."

"Alright."

The vendor stopped his bicycle, propped his foot on the ground, leaned forward, and handed out a newspaper from the basket.

The plainly dressed young man took the newspaper, pulled out a neatly folded food ticket, and handed it to the vendor.

Zuo Chaoxue had just arrived at Green Shadow a few days ago.

Recently, the railway between Green Shadow and Nanqing had connected, and Zuo Chaoxue, biting the bullet, had exchanged his last bit of food for a ticket and embarked on this journey into the unknown.

The name of Green Shadow.

It circulated among many survivors in Nanqing.

Rumors described it as a sacred Sanctuary of Protection, where there was no worry about food, clothing, or safety, almost like the Utopia of the past, beautiful... and unreal.

Many people couldn’t believe it, and Zuo Chaoxue was also doubtful.

But he had no attachments in Nanqing, and so, biting the bullet, he boarded that train.

The third-class carriage was extremely crowded, packed like sardines, and the smell inside was particularly bad, to the point where even the black-clothed Awakeners on patrol wore masks.

But Zuo Chaoxue felt very secure.

Covered with thick armor, the completely sealed train carriage, along with the strong Awakeners patrolling back and forth, it wasn’t long before the train smoothly came to a stop at the platform of Green Shadow station.

When the carriage doors opened, a large crowd surged out in a rush.

Zuo Chaoxue learned that many people, just like him, were filled with longing for Green Shadow, hoping to begin a new life here.

They felt the same uneasiness, too.

Fortunately, everything in Green Shadow was as the rumors had described. Work was plentiful here, and anyone who worked hard didn’t have to worry about food or clothing... The cotton-padded jacket Zuo Chaoxue wore, although somewhat worn and second-hand, was still a treasure compared to many survivors who couldn’t afford winter clothes and could only huddle in the corners shivering. He felt most fortunate for having traded his food for a ticket.

Now, Zuo Chaoxue worked at a waste recycling station... It might not sound glamorous, but this was a department directly under the Sanctuary’s jurisdiction. Although small, the benefits were quite substantial. He was only there for a few days, but he had already earned back the cost of his ticket, with some surplus food to spare.

He didn’t exchange his food tickets for new clothes but preferred to spend it on newspapers, to understand more about the outside world.

The Green Shadow Daily was the number one newspaper of the Sanctuary, the most authoritative.

A newspaper cost one kilogram of food tickets.

Fifteen kilograms of food tickets could be exchanged for one unit of Source Crystal.

It might seem expensive, but in reality, a kilogram of food was not a big deal in Green Shadow. His weekly salary was up to three Source Crystals, and due to his recent appointment, the department had even advanced him half a week’s salary.

It was extremely good.

In Nanqing, it was different. Sometimes after several days of work, he would only earn two or three kilograms of food, and finding a job was not guaranteed. However, the exchange rate in Nanqing was lower, just thirteen kilograms of food for one unit of Source Crystal.

But it didn’t make much difference. In Nanqing, he could never gather thirteen kilograms of food, and Source Crystals were equally useless to him.

Shaking his head, Zuo Chaoxue didn’t dwell on these matters that seemed distant to him.

Taking advantage of his lunch break, he picked up the newspaper and began to read it closely.

[The latest news from the Ministry of Agriculture: Grain production is expected to increase by 30% this season.]

[The Green Lake Railway is projected to open in two weeks. Due to the longer route, ticket prices will be slightly higher compared to the Green Lin Line and Green Qing Line.]

[The Magic Research Institute of Green Shadow was officially established today, with the Logistics Department’s Director Eileen also serving as the institute’s president.]

[The recruitment work of the several Corps of Green Shadow is in full swing: become a member of the Corps, and you’ll get free access weekly to facilities like the Cultivation Room, Gravity Room, and Spirit Space for training; the benefits are high, and the treatment is good. Come and sign up—perhaps you could be the next expert.]

[Recent days have seen Director Tang leading Green Shadow in alliance with seventeen major Sanctuaries to annihilate the powerful Doomsday Cult that lurked within Tiannan Province, successfully excising this malignant tumor.]

Zuo Chaoxue was taken aback and read on quickly.

The name "Doomsday Cult" was not unfamiliar to him. Some time ago, cult members had launched suicide attacks, which had caused widespread panic.

Back then, many Awakeners had been killed in action at the Nanqing Sanctuary, a sight that Zuo Chaoxue vividly remembered.

Eventually, the "Doomsday Cult" seemed to have vanished. It turned out they had been exterminated by a joint task force from the major Sanctuaries.

The more Zuo Chaoxue read, the more surprised he became.

What he knew of the "Doomsday Cult" was just the tip of the iceberg; the cult even had the capacity to overturn major Sanctuaries. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Lucky for us, Director Tang and the other lords took action, or we would have been in trouble..."

"Yeah, Director Tang truly is a role model for our generation, strong and handsome. I heard that battle was earth-shattering. Who knows how many people died in the other Sanctuaries, but our Green Shadow Corps is composed entirely of elites... Ah, I won’t talk about it anymore, I’m still waiting to pass the exam to join the Investigation Corps."

A passing Awakener shook his head and walked away.

Zuo Chaoxue felt somewhat restrained; he hadn’t yet grown accustomed to the harmony within Green Shadow.

"Awakeners have it so good..."

He muttered to himself, bundled up the newspaper, and tucked it away, then patted his full stomach and stood up, heading toward the recycling station.

...

Spirit Space.

A pure white ’100m x 100m x 50m’ training ground.

Tang Yu stared solemnly at a figure in front of him, a spitting image of himself.

Strength, speed, Source Power—all derived from his own data, battle experience set to the highest level, and every technique more precise—

Whew~

The Mirror Image Tang Yu’s right calf shook slightly, silently appearing in front of him and thrusting a sword. In the moment when the sword light flashed by, the Mirror Image had already blinked to another side of him.

"Instant Movement Continuous Stabbing" erupted, and in an instant, nine illusions appeared around Tang Yu, the sword light overlapping in layers. He blocked the first eight strikes but was still killed by the ninth sword.

"Damn it, I died again!"

Tang Yu wasn’t sure if he should complain about the Mirror Image being too strong, or himself being too useless.

In truth, his battle experience was far from poor, and his physical fitness was truly superior compared to his peers. According to the combat power enhancement rating, although he hadn’t tested it, it would be at least +18. Facing a Demonized Beast of the same level, he could kill it with a casual strike.

His only weakness was that his mastery of Combat Skills was not deep enough.

Facing an opponent with similar physical qualities and deeper skill mastery without any tricks amounted to almost an instant kill.

He must deepen his mastery of battle techniques!
