My Apocalypse Territory

```

The system had this function? How did he not know!

However, now wasn't the time to consider this question.

Tang Yu opened the system panel and indeed found more detailed records in the log.

He saw the names of those two survivors in danger, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that these two had been dispatched in the morning to search for resources in the eastern area of the resort.

But now, they were in danger?

The system didn't provide a more detailed explanation.

Tang Yu tried asking the system, but the answers were the same repetitive phrases.

He also had a guess; it was definitely not an encounter with demonized beasts. Aside from the fact that the demonized beasts within the resort had already been cleared out, if they had encountered demonized beasts, the two would have been long dead, and there wouldn't be any dangerous state. So, clearly, these two were either injured or in a coerced situation.

Tang Yu hurriedly conveyed the information to Eileen and Luo Zhe through the contract power and called on Number Two to set out immediately.

......

Han Jing led a group of team members into the resort, and along the way, they indeed saw traces of human activity.

As for Wang Zhou's words, he didn't fully trust them... The boss had assigned this task to him, not because he was the strongest, but because he had worked for the boss for many years and was deeply trusted. Therefore, Han Jing had always been very cautious, wanting to eliminate any potential factors that could interfere with the task.

Observing all the way, Han Jing sneered in his heart.

There were quite a few demonized beast corpses within the resort, many left behind during human resistance when the demon tide wiped out the sanctuary. However, Han Jing observed carefully and could tell that some demonized beasts had only been killed recently, not on the day the demon tide occurred.

This indicated that the survivors who lived weren't all ordinary as Wang Zhou claimed. Perhaps the other party expected their Awakeners to rescue them?

Han Jing found this thought quite amusing.

In his team, besides him, there were also two third-layer Awakeners, five second-tier ones, various firearms, and even heavy weaponry. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even when facing a small sanctuary, his team wouldn't flinch.

This was the difference between large and small forces, a gap that ordinary survivors with narrow visions couldn't understand.

"But this is good; if those people come to us voluntarily, it saves him the trouble of searching. This mission allows for no errors. Anyone who might leak the information has only one outcome."

From the very beginning, Han Jing had sentenced these survivors to death, even though he knew they had nothing to do with the Source Crystal Mine. It was just unfortunate that their operation needed to be kept secret from the start. Besides, the proximity to the Source Crystal Mine meant Han Jing had to eliminate any accidents to prevent it being discovered later. They could only blame their bad luck, including...

He glanced imperceptibly at Wang Tai, who was leading the way, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Captain Han, up ahead is the villa area, which is the center of the resort. We haven't encountered other survivors along the way, so it's likely the remaining people are there."

Wang Tai was unaware of Han Jing's thoughts.

He was only thinking that after this trip, he'd fetch the resources, and with that bigwig's connections, he might thrive in Lindong.

Han Jing gave a faint response, moving to the head of the team and suddenly looking up with an awareness.

There, two figures were standing against the sunlight, coldly observing them from the hillside.

Han Jing smiled.

He had overestimated these survivors.

Only one Awakener.

If the other party sensed their aura, would they be scared stiff, he wondered?

"Captain, look at how they're dressed; they must think they're someone important,"

a team member laughed from behind with a mocking tone.

Han Jing also felt contempt in his heart.

Those two on the hillside, a man and a woman, one in battle armor and the other in a magic robe, appeared quite impressive. But did they really think they were a Saint Seiya by wearing Golden Holy Clothes?

Real good equipment was about practicality.

The gray combat suit he wore, including the combat vest, arm guard, battle boots, helmet, and so on, didn't seem conspicuous but were the pinnacle of Lindong Sanctuary technology.

This was the equipment that could really save lives, not just appearance!

Han Jing waved his hand, "First Squad, go capture those two."

Several Awakeners hurriedly ascended the steps.

This distance wasn't far for Awakeners.

Midway up the hill, standing on the lawn, Tang Yu gently shook his head, motioning for Eileen not to act yet.

The Awakeners were getting closer.

From their expressions, it seemed as if the two of them were already at their mercy.

Was it really so?

Tang Yu also smiled.

He naturally sensed the formidable group below.

Whether by aura or numbers, they were exceptionally strong. It was the most powerful Awakener team he had encountered since the apocalypse.

Perhaps these people had an extraordinary background.

Perhaps they had a hidden agenda.

But none of that mattered. What mattered was he had already seen the two "civilians" in poor condition.

Han Jing focused on Tang Yu and Eileen, eager to see their reaction.

By then, his team members had covered two-thirds of the distance, and the two still stood there, neither acting nor fleeing.

Were they petrified with fear?

Or despairing?

"Boom!!"

A building on the right exploded, debris flying everywhere, and a figure came rocketing out, stepping on the ground like cannon fire!

The figure moved with lightning speed, the nearest team member—still focused on the hillside—didn't even see it coming before being struck like by a high-speed truck. The person was flung sideways, their chest visibly caving in, blood spraying along the trajectory.

Han Jing was stunned.

Though he was the strongest and reacted the fastest, it was still too late!

The figure was too rapid, and he could barely glimpse it clad in blue and white armor.

Armor?

Han Jing doubted his eyesight!

The figure collided with and sent two more team members flying before reaching the bound survivors.

Now he saw clearly; it was indeed someone wearing blue-and-white armor, whirling a long spear to instantly cut the ropes binding the survivors without causing them any harm.

This was a master.

Han Jing instantly assessed.

No wonder these survivors had confidence; he had no intention of fighting this person. As a human, no matter how strong, one couldn't escape the threat of firearms. A master might dodge a few bullets, but once a barrage formed, danger would rise sharply, especially with those two ordinary people.

He delighted in seeing others, painstakingly close to success, plummet to a bottomless abyss.

"Fire!"
