My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 276 - 273 The Renowned Green Shadow Sanctuary

The secretary shook his head, “We’ve secretly found a few experts in the field of language. It’s estimated that in three to five days, a small portion of them can be deciphered.”

“What about the other items from the Secret Realm?”

The secretary thought for a moment, “The powder inside several containers has been examined. It contains many unknown substances, but they have all lost their efficacy, presumably because of being stored for too long.”

“Many other artifacts have also become fragile due to prolonged storage. Experts are now calculating the age of these artifacts. Due to the materials, composition, and other factors, simple instrumental measurements won’t suffice, but they have initially estimated that these artifacts have been around for tens of thousands of years, or even longer.”

This speculation was within Gu Dong’s expectations.

Although it seemed inconceivable that a civilization existed tens of thousands of years ago, compared to the Demonized Beasts coming from other planes, compared to the secret information he had gleaned through various channels, it amounted to little.

Besides, these items were all brought out from a Secret Realm.

It was precisely because he secretly controlled a Secret Realm that Gu Dong was so certain that Green Shadow’s progress was the result of gifts from the Secret Realm.

‘Unfortunately, the Secret Realm is quite small, and most of the buildings and artifacts within it have been abandoned. The scrolls, which are likely to be of high value, cannot yet be translated to reveal specific details… Fortunately, the material of the scrolls is special, and despite the passage of such a long time, the shapes of the characters on them can still be recognized.’

Gu Dong thought for a moment, then turned his head to look out of the window:

“The Green Shadow commercial district opens in three days.” He gave a slight kick, spinning his office chair back to face the secretary, “Since Green Shadow has sent us an invitation, we should make a visit, and remember to prepare a gift.”

The secretary paused briefly, surprised, then responded. He looked like he wanted to say something more but did not speak again and, after saying goodbye, gently closed the door.

“If we can find the Secret Realm that Green Shadow controls and unravel the mystery of the rune equipment, that would be ideal. If we can’t, even though in Lindong, Green Shadow and I are competitors, if we consider the entire province, the country, the relationship… it’s different again.”

“This world is very large…”

Gu Dong’s gaze looked forward as if he could not see the focus.

Green Shadow Sanctuary.

As the construction of the business district progressed and news of rune equipment gradually spread, the number of Awakeners active around Green Shadow increased.

Not only Mercenaries from Lindong but also Awakeners from the small Sanctuaries clustered to the south of Green Shadow—who possessed enough strength to cross the wasteland—gathered enough Source Crystals and rushed to Green Shadow.

Some directors of small Sanctuaries, in order to exchange for advanced rune equipment, had specially registered at the adventurer guild to complete missions.

The number of ordinary survivors within the Territory had also steadily risen during this time.

Tang Yu had looked over the latest statistics; the number of registered survivors, including Awakeners, had already surpassed the five-thousand mark. Such rapid growth was still largely thanks to the long-term mission featured on the front page of the adventurer guild.

Rescue missions.

A regular survivor rewarded two guild points, while some technical talents, such as medical staff, scientific researchers, and the like, varied from ten to a hundred points in reward.

The constant…, the introduction of rescue missions, had significantly eased the awkwardness of an insufficient number of missions at the adventurer guild. In a short period, the number of Territory survivors had reached new heights. This had also happened because the business district was about to be established, and the rapid development of the Territory required not just Awakeners but also an increasing number of ordinary people, which was why Tang Yu had issued such a generous mission that was somewhat painful for him.

Midday sunlight was intensely scorching, but it seemed cooler only near the Green Shadow Sanctuary area.

People often discussed that Green Shadow’s location was a treasure spot, and even some ability users had noticed that the abilities used within the range of the vacation resort, especially Elemental Series abilities, seemed to have slightly increased in power than usual.

However, even though the temperature within the Territory was comfortable, there were not many Awakeners remaining in the Sanctuary at this time.

Stimulated by the advanced rune equipment, adventurers were full of energy, frantically accepting missions. Those unable to grab a mission also actively went out to hunt Demonized Beasts, exchanging Source Crystals for points, even though it was a loss.

In terms of enthusiasm, they far surpassed Awakeners from Luoxia by several streets, especially when an Awakener exchanged for their desired equipment, only to suddenly discover that the adventurer guild had once again introduced new merchandise, making them envious and once more plunging into the craze of grinding missions.

At this moment, in the wilderness.

Several Awakeners stood on a road full of cracks, squinting their eyes, gazing into the distance.

“Just a bit further ahead is the Sanctuary called Green Shadow, does this place really have weapons that can easily tear through the defenses of Demonized Beasts?”

The speaker was a woman, her tone mixing anticipation and doubt.

This team, consisting of three men and two women, was dust-covered and tired looking, having seemingly survived in the wilderness for a long time.

Each of them carried a huge homemade backpack, and they wore simply stitched animal skin clothing. Some of the clothes were patched with large scales on the chest and back.

The weapons in their hands were also varied.

There were irregularly shaped long wooden sticks, spiked and specially textured wood tied together, and wrist-bound bloody claws… These weapons were all made from parts of Demonized Beasts.

The prolonged exposure to the sun had darkened their skins, and the two young women with crisp voices also had disheveled looks, obscuring their faces.

Another woman took over the conversation, “I hope so. With our current weapons, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to deal with Demonized Beasts. If we can get a suitable weapon, crossing a few more cities would be much easier.”

The square-faced man in the lead showed a flash of regret in his eyes, “I’ve dragged you all down, making us go through life and death together.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, Captain! Your family is our family, and besides, in this apocalypse, where is safe? We still have to risk our lives every day.”

“Exactly, exactly,” the others echoed in agreement.

A warm atmosphere permeated the team.
