My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 170 Crawler

"I don't care what your misunderstanding is. Everything ends now." He said, leaving no room for argument. "As of today, you will be the Silver Soldiers. Under my direct order."

It had been two days since the battle with the goblins and the ark had journeyed a thousand miles around the city under the cold deadly frost.

The people inside the ark had a rare moment of peace. Thus, the current desolation of the world was a thing that wasn't present inside the ark. Smiles blossom on their faces as they strive to make the ark more secure by completing their job.

More so, since the announcement of the restaurant and bar, hotel and others. The people were anticipating their completion. Although the world was in chaos, any rare moment of pleasure won't be missed by humans. Thus, forcing the people to work harder.

"What do you think?" Justin looked at the pipe man and Grandpa Philip.

"Incredible," Grandpa Philip said in a daze. He had recovered from his injury but was only permitted to join the others today. And what he witnessed left him stunned.

Beside him was Pipe man, he looked at the defense formation and his eyes burned with anticipation. He loves science and wanted to be a scientist but due to an unfortunate accident. He couldn't accomplish his dream but should be a science teacher.

Now, with the new field in front of him, his dream of exploring the unknown was rekindled. He rubbed his palm together as he couldn't wait to start.

"This is insane!" He muttered as he darted from the formation and looked at the book floating in thin air.

Justin had already expected such a reaction from both of them as no one would see an unscientific manifestation and won't be stunned. But Pipe man's fanatic gaze stunned him a bit. He chuckled and didn't care about it.

"Which one will you choose?" He asked.

"Forging?" Grandpa Philip said without thinking about it. Racking his head on something complicated is not his thing besides he loves to wield a hammer and if not for his soul weapon being a staff; he would have used a hammer to smash his enemy's head.

"Puppetry" Pipe man announced.

"Are you sure?" Justin asked as he knitted his brow. He knew what it takes to learn puppetry. It combines forging, runic inscription, and sometimes array formation. So he couldn't help but ask.

"I know what I'm doing…"Pipe man paused a bit to arrange his. "Puppetry forging is the only difference in the list of things I must know. I won't learn runic inscription and array formation when people are working on it already. All I need to learn is the forging and when it comes to others. I will bring it to you."

Hearing this, everyone inside the conference room looked at Pipe man with a knowing smile. What a cunning bastard. They thought with a smile.

"Your train of thought isn't bad but you must be prepared because it won't be easy."

"I know." He nodded with determination.

"Good." Justin smiled and waved his hand. Two golden cheats came out from the book of knowledge and floated in front of Grandpa Philip and Pipe man.

At once, the conference descended into silence as everyone was busy with their study. Since Justin's room couldn't be used as a study center anymore. It had to move to the spacious conference room.

Susan and Chloe were busy staring at the floating cheat in front with their brows knitted. Since the addition of Susan to the runic inscription group, the study had skyrocketed forward. It only took a couple of hours for her to understand the rudiment of runic inscription with the help of Chloe. Now, the reason why she was the leader of her school was shown to all.

Chloe had been flabbergasted many times as her rate of comprehension. The runic symbol and combination didn't pose a threat to her at all. Now, they're in the process of drawing their first inscription.

Besides, Kira was Merab who was dragged into the research team forcefully by Kira. Her reason was simple since Susan has Chloe, why would she suffer alone? Thus, Merab was dragged into the research. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

"We need a lot of material to further our study…"Merab whispered to Kira.

"I know…that's why I should study the beast's body part since it is easier for us to come across."

"Elemental formation was a little bit different from other formations…" Justin thought as wrote some words inside his book.

"With the elemental formation. I can combine it with the defensive formation to create both a defense and attacking formation." He muttered as he was lost in thought.

Suddenly, his eyes turned solemn and he disappeared from his seat without alerting the others. When he appeared, it was inside the ark control room.

"Your majesty."The men inside the control room stood and shouted.

"Continue with your work." He said without looking at them.

The two people inside the control room, a young man and a middle-aged man, took a deep breath and went back to their seats as they wondered why the King would come out of the blue.

Just then, a long bridge appeared in front of them. The bridge was about 50-meter in length with roads a couple of meters from the rail track. The roads were filled with burnt and destroyed vehicles.

On the train track, a couple of vehicles lay on the track while some of the tracks had been damaged. Watching the situation on the bridge, the men inside the control room looked at each other and understood why the king appeared inside the control room.

"Stop the ark" Justin commanded.

"Merab, get to the roof of the ark and secure the perimeter." Merab heard Justin's voice inside her head.

She blinked twice and stood up immediately and rushed out of the control room. Seeing this, the people inside the room looked at each other and wondered what the hell was going on. While they were still wondering, Grandpa Philip followed after her.

"The Ark has stopped," Kira said slowly.

With this, everyone inside the room knew something was up. It was then they noticed the disappearance of Justin.

"Mack, take 20 ordinary people to clear the track and be careful." Mack heard Justin's voice inside his head and rushed out of the defense section.

After a couple of seconds, the door of the ark was opened and 50 people came out dressed in thick clothes. They looked at their surroundings in amazement and saw the long bridge.

The continuous flow of the river shocked the people as they expected the river to be frozen under the deadly froze but it seems not.

'What the hell?' they widened their eyes.

"We have work to do…" Mack waves to get the attention of the people and says. "Let's get going. The clothes could only buy a couple of minutes before you froze to death."

Hearing this, the people abandoned their sightseeing and walked in a large stride toward their target.

Meanwhile, at the other part of the bridge, an indistinct sound echoed silently amid the vehicles. The voice was eerie and dreadful, devoid of emotions. Suddenly, gray eyes pop out right under a vehicle and look at the group of men trying to clear the track.

"Ha..sh…la…shes…eh-w…"The eerie eyes muttered and bit something and gnashed it frantically. Suddenly, many gray eyes appeared under the vehicles as they muttered in some indistinct voice, fixing their gaze on the people.

Suddenly, the air changed. The frosty atmosphere turned eerie quiet and howling wind like the cry of a ghost echoed on the bridge.

Hearing this, the 50 halted on their track and looked at the surroundings in apprehension.

"What the hell is going on?"An elderly man asked with fear written all over his face. No one answered as their eyes wandered back and forth trying to see if anything was amiss.

'Something is not right.' Mack turned to look in the Ark's direction. He noticed the train hadn't entered the bridge and only stopped at the edge. With this discovery, Mack knew Justin had discovered something but wanted to confirm that's why he sent 50 ordinary people.

Although they were called ordinary people, they were part of the defense team and could defend themselves with their hidden weapons.

"Hurry, let 's complete the mission and get out of here," Mack said with urgency.

Left with no choice, the people rushed toward their target and began to clear the track. Mack did the heavy lifting, aiding the people to work faster.

Meanwhile, the gray eyes were stealthy from under the vehicles as they got closer to the group. Mack felt his muscle tense and his instinct crying of danger, yet he ignored it as if he detected nothing. Although they were in danger, he was curious about the enemies that could creep on them without seeing them.

Suddenly, the air stopped flowing, and the howling disappeared like it never existed.

Grara. Grara

A beast jumped out from under the vehicle with its mouth widened. , its mouth separated into sharp teeth. Seeing this, Mack and the people felt their souls leave their bodies.
