What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

Connor lowered his voice to a very low level.

An island the size of a county-level city can accommodate a team of less than 500 people. It is still possible to temporarily hide their whereabouts without alerting the guards, but everything requires luck.

Maybe there were Valkyries patrolling in the sky at a height that even his eagle eyes could not reach, or maybe a flying dragon suddenly appeared and ate them all.

The island where the factory is located is only a temporary choice. When the team finds a safer place to go, they will set sail again.

"Next we should find a place where we can spend the night safely." Connor called Murphy and others over.

The people who went to the ground were not completely empty-handed. The dozen or so sets of werewolf weapons and dozens of magic wands and uniforms they had captured were their best resources. Others also had various stone tools and crude iron tools they had brought from Sean.

With these things, it won't be a problem to survive until the food we brought runs out.

"Aha……"

It was night, and after working for a long time and going through a long and daunting journey, the people in the team were already feeling sleepy. After relaxing, one yawn spread to two others, and soon it became a series of yawns.

Connor walked over to a pile of boxes, which, along with clothes and weapons, were all captured trophies.

There were boxes of supplies connecting the underground waterway and the magic tunnel. Connor had some of them moved out, but they were not emptied. This way, the guards would not realize that someone had passed by here, and would only think that they were secretly hidden by others. He saw many guards complaining about this behavior in the patrol log.

Among the supplies were some small white sticks called cigarettes. Connor broke the sticks, poured out the brown fibers inside, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and gave the remaining fibers to others. Others followed suit and chewed these stimulating things together.

Old Red had a bit of pride on his face, because this was a little trick he taught Connor. When it was inconvenient to smoke, chewing the fiber inside could temporarily refresh the mind and calm the nerves. The slaves on the assembly line often did this.

The people who escaped had not enjoyed the supplies in the factory for a long time, and they all seemed very unfamiliar with them, but they soon perked up from the smell that hit their heads.

Murphy and Geller led the way in front. With many experiences in searching and exploring, they were good pioneers. Connor was at the end of the team doing the finishing work.

Wherever you go, you leave traces. Especially for a team of 500 people, by the time Connor had cleaned up some footprints that could not be washed away by the tide and repaired the broken branches and grass leaves as naturally as possible, the people who came out of the underground had already gone deep into the dense forest.

The trees in the forest are very dense and thick, and there is never a gardener to trim them.

Finally, the team stopped at a small flat ground under a hillside. Behind the flat ground, the hillside was as steep as a wall, and there was a concave place under the wall, which looked like the entrance of a cave, but there was actually no cave.

The large troop was stationed in the woods outside the plain, cautiously not showing their heads. Each of them leaned against the tree trunks, sitting on the soft and moist humus accumulated from years of branches and leaves.

With the protection of the hillside, the sun doesn't shine much here during the day, making it an excellent air defense location.

"We must settle down before daybreak. Remember, we must not destroy the disguise above our heads."

Sleep during the day to replenish energy, and collect food and tidy up the shelter at night. After Connor set the tone, the team quickly took action.

Everyone piled the captured boxes together, covered them with a lot of dirt and grass, and formed a semicircle between the trees, just outside the flat ground and the stone wall, and a simple camp was ready.

The weather was not cold, it was even a little stuffy, and everyone who didn't need to keep warm soon found a place to sleep under the urge of exhaustion.

Only Connor and a few other leaders were still gathered together discussing in a low voice.

"Don't worry about food for now. I found a kind of breadfruit. There are many edible fruits and beasts here."

"Also, tomorrow night, we'll go cut some wooden stakes far away, stick them in the open space, and then cover them with grass and mud..."

Connor started the conversation, followed by Murphy and Geller who were very excited.

There was light in their eyes.

83. Upgrade

"Connor... do you think someone will catch up with us? What if someone catches up with us?..."

"Murphy, you've asked the same question over thirty times."

Connor had a headache. Murphy brought his talent from Sean to the island while he was working, but when he needed to hide during the day, he couldn't control his wandering thoughts.

Murphy wasn't angry, he just really wanted to know if anyone would catch up with him.

"With so many stripped bodies, it's impossible to keep it secret for long..."

Connor held Murphy's shoulder and said to him, "Did you forget about the ice cubes?"

The large group of people arrived on the ground from the afternoon until the evening, and a lot of time was wasted when Connor asked some of the people to change into werewolf weapons to carry ice blocks. They dug out the large ice blocks that froze the smaller monsters of Jinghu Lake and placed them next to the naked corpses.

After leaving the quiet lake, the ice will melt quickly, revealing the monster corpses inside.

"So what?" Murphy still didn't understand.

"The digestive juices of the Quiet Lake Monster corroded the clothes, and then it died together with the guards." Connor spread his hands. He knew that this excuse was lame and it couldn't be concealed for long, but what could he do?

If enemies come, we will fight them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. Now they have seized a lot of magic weapons. Even if the factory sent more guards, they may not be able to take this place down.

Moreover, was the factory really willing to send people to the surface? The factory's attitude could be roughly guessed from the fact that it had never sent any soldiers to the direction where Sean was. After all, the collapsed sewer exit had been blasted open by Connor using the Colossal Titan.

Connor even felt that if the people in charge in the factory knew that someone had run to the ground, they might feel that a lot of trouble had been saved, and Feilong would naturally help them achieve their goal.

"Then we must build this place into an impregnable stronghold..." After hearing this, Murphy had to put aside his doubts for the time being, but another idea replaced the blank space in his brain in an instant.

"Drive three rows of wooden stakes to make a fence and cover them with turf. The weather here is very hot and the grass will sprout after a few rains... We need to dig out a hole in the stone wall that is big enough for us all to hide in and take refuge... The stones and soil can be used to make a fence..."

Connor finally recognized Murphy's true nature - an infrastructure maniac.

He used those stones to build the city of Sean into a nice shape, and now he is preparing to build one on the island.

"Even if it's a temporary base, we have to take good care of it." After Murphy decided what he was going to do, the confusion in his eyes disappeared.

There might be a day in the future when we can move to a safer place, but as long as people still live here, Murphy feels that he needs to make the base more comfortable.

"And there is food. Gathering alone is far from enough. We also need to explore the entire surface of the island. Any valuable plants may be used..." said Geller. He was doing this in Sean's gathering team. He and the newly formed gathering team got eight of the twelve sets of werewolf armor in order to cope with the unknown environment on the island.

“Don’t worry about the water source,” Old Red pointed at the map Connor had drawn on the bark. “There’s a good place to get water in that freshwater river. There are some fish and shrimp in the river. I also found some shellfish at the bottom of the river near its mouth.”

After a few days, the island was very peaceful, the underwater passage had not been opened, and the temporary outpost was built in the dark.

During the day, Connor came to the dense forest alone to patrol. Just as he was sitting on a branch and looking around with Eagle Vision, the prism prompt came.

The emergence of new skills and traits made Connor have bad guesses about his future enemies. The skill effects were great, but when should he use them? They would die at any time, so they must be difficult to kill, at least not like the current watchers.

Aside from being equipped with magical equipment, the guards are essentially no different from normal people. They get hungry, feel pain when injured, and die when killed. The same is true of the two memory worlds Connor experienced before. The giants and the imperial weapon users are all mortal.

And poison is needed... A certain assassin master who can transform into water said that if poison is used, there is an 80% chance that the enemy cannot be defeated head-on.

[Adaptive Evolution] made Connor believe that the risk factor in the future would definitely become very high.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Connor looked at himself after the upgrade.

There was still no sign of completing the goddess' mission, so Connor stood up from the branch, shook off the small branches on his body, and planned to return to the temporary base and leave.

Just as he was about to jump, a huge teleportation array appeared out of nowhere in the sky, and five or six flying dragons spread their wings and flew out from it!

The Oshima side reacted quickly and responded as soon as the teleportation array appeared. A team of five mechas piloted by Valkyries had already taken off and were flying towards this side.

The flying dragon and the mecha were fighting fiercely above Connor's head, so Connor had to find a place to hide and try his best to keep himself in the state of [Breath Blocking].

"I'm afraid someone is gambling again..."

84. A blonde girl falling from the sky is not necessarily a beautiful girl

"The huge hostile creature [Flying Dragon] that invaded from across time and space, we Valkyries' mission as weapons is to meet and destroy the flying dragon and protect the human position. Only when the degenerates become weapons that slay dragons can they live in the civilized world."

"Keep this in mind and fight hard."

"New recruit Angie? Welcome to the First Death Squadron. I'm Captain Zora, and this is Vice Captain Salia. Light artillery soldier Coco and heavy artillery soldier Miranda are both new recruits like you..."

"Princess Arrogant, I have a piece of advice for you. This is no longer the world you used to live in. If you don't realize it soon, you will die."

"Alert, time-space singularity detected, navigator, leave the takeoff deck, the route is safe, takeoff, first squadron, all aircraft dispatched!"

"Team Zora, take off!"

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what it’s called, it doesn’t matter what it is… Those things are all items, all degenerates…

I am the first princess of the empire. They must have made a mistake. They will vindicate me soon... Then those who made me wear the clothes of a dead person...

Among the five magic mechas of the Zora team that rose to combat altitude, the driver Angel in the last mecha was not paying attention to the flying dragon.

In addition to feeling disgusted by the blood-stained combat uniform on her body, An Qi was also thinking about another thing.

She wants to return to the empire to regain her position as the first princess.

She did just that, leaving the battle formation, leaving the air battlefield of the flying dragons and the magic mecha, and flew away in her own magic mecha.

"Angie! I've already said that disobeying orders is a felony!" Deputy Captain Sallya was anxious. Fighting against the flying dragon was already an extremely dangerous operation, with casualties occurring very quickly. It would be impossible to survive if they left the formation.

"I've clearly told Princess Zida that everyone's every move is being monitored by the combat recorder and that they will definitely be held accountable afterwards. Why is she..."

"Eh? Angie is going to the Imperial Kingdom? Please take me with you! I want to see the Magic Kingdom, too!"

Coco, a new recruit in another mecha, also turned and caught up with Anqi.

Coco was detected as a degenerate just after she was out of her cradle and was thrown into the ranks of Valkyries. Now only 12 years old, she knows nothing about the outside world.

She was deeply fascinated by the colorful magic kingdom that Angel told her about.

"Hey! Coco!"

A five-man combat team went on the field and two of them ran away???

Captain Zora, deputy captain Salia, and heavy artillery soldier Miranda were all dumbfounded. How could they fight this battle with only three people left? If the battle video was uploaded by the recorder, wouldn't everyone be implicated?

"Come back quickly!" Vice Captain Salia chased after him and shouted in the communication channel, "You won't die if you follow the training!"

An Qi did not reply. She even ignored her companion Coco who was escaping with her. She just headed in the direction she thought was the imperial country.

I am not Angel, I am Angelize, and I want to return to the world where I belong!
