Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse

Chapter 2 - Endless Suffering

Endless Suffering

They continued to walk there heartbreakingly. Fortunately, outside of the city, there were just a few zombies, so they could easily avoid them.

When they arrived, they could see a lot of militaries were guarding the camp and many people lined up to enter the base. They were checked one by one. Some people also went into the room to get more detailed checks before they could enter the base. The people that had scratches or got bitten by zombies would get handled by the military.

After 2 months after Chen Qiang and his sister, Chen Qing arrived at the camp, a lot of things had happened.

Initially, this place was a strategic place for the military to march into the Jiangnan city while gathering the survivors and sending them to the base that the government had just started to build.

After all, the military itself had a lot of difficulties. Therefore, they could only send limited soldiers. So after 3 days since he and his sister Chen Qing stayed in temporary camp, they with all the survivors that were still not transferred, going to the base with the withdrawal of the military.

After Chen Qiang and his sister Chen Qing stayed at the base, they could live slightly more comfortable than the other. It was because of Uncle Zhan Hai, a friend of their deceased father, Chen Kong, who owned a lot of the estate in Jiangnan.

Their father was one of the largest holding shares of the Duwei Mining Group Company and was in a high position. The Duwei Group was the fiftieth largest company in China. Principally involved in gold mining and smelting, coal, copper, lead, zinc, silver, and even iron products in much smaller quantities.

Chen Qiang was the heir of his father. He should have already taken all the inheritance of his father when he was an a.d.u.l.t, but he told the lawyer that he wanted to temper his youth first and would not meddle with the business or decision making on the Duwei group. He would only take back all the right after he got his Bachelor's degree. Because he was afraid the burden would be too much for him, eventually damaging his father's inheritance. But when he was just in his fourth year, who would know that the evolution day destroyed everything.

Chen Qiang and his sister saw almost every change in the base. Like from the depleted of the food, which made a lot of people suffer. Many of them died because of it. At the start, the base gave the survivors food that almost made them full, but now they only gave them bowls of thin porridge that just could sustain their lives. Because there were too many people in the base, they need to try to save for the future.

The ordinary survivor must be working in the base such as building the wall that had a lot of danger to get food stamps in order to live slightly better. Or they could also make a team to search resources like food and drugs, which then could be exchanged with the base for what they need such as the weapon and many other things.

The military was always cleaning the zombies in the surrounding area, and sometimes they confronted the mutated beasts. The meat of it was really precious. When the soldiers continued to eat the meat of the mutated beasts that they had hunted, such as mutated rat or cat, one of the teams accidentally became an awakened. Not only did his body seeming to get enhanced, but he also got a gift. He could easily run faster than an athlete. Moreover, the meat of mutated beasts could also make them recover their stamina really fast.

To become an awakened, it was actually not just because of eating mutated beasts' meat, it was not too rare to see an awakened after the sudden change, the military had a lot of awakened that often hunted mutated beasts.

The mutated beast was not just precious for the ordinary people, the awakened also needed meat of mutated beasts in order to quickly recover their stamina when they had used their ability.

Chen Qiang and his sister were seeing day after day many people died in this era for various reasons, such as hunger, fighting, injustice, the people that go out never back again, and so on. Even miserably, a lot of women started selling their bodies for food.

Although they could be considered to live slightly more comfortable than the other, they were not that much different. They just ate the cooked rice with some meat and rarely to eat vegetables. The difference was that they were living in a secure and comfortable place. They didn't need to care for sanitation because of the good sewerage system and occasionally some people would clean the area around. Not like the place in the slum area that was full of many, not good odors.

Day after day the dominion of the higher up in the base kept rising, but injustice was still everywhere.

Although Uncle Zhan Hai was rich, he was still too far away from his father. Moreover, the money paper or estate didn't have any meaning now. Even if the money paper still had worth, almost all the people certainly would refuse if someone wanted to buy something with that. The resources in the base also couldn't be traded using it. It was because their resources would likely be cleared out if they allowed it. So the barter became widely used once again, and such things such as gold and other material were often used. But now, almost all of his gold has run out.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang now also went out to find the resources, and that lightens his burden.

Chen Qiang occasionally went out to fight the zombies and search for resources too. He knew in this era the power and strength was everything.

But unexpectedly he felt the zombies started to get more and more powerful. From the sluggish-like until they could walk fast, their power was also getting bigger.

In the past, he could handle multiples of them if he was prepared. Now, only faced against one zombie if he was not cautious enough and made any mistakes, he was sure that anytime he would be turned into a zombie or died.

Chen Qiang very often went out to polish his skills. When he met one weak mutated beast, he would hunt it for his food. He could feel that when he ate the mutated beast, his power became slightly enhanced, and with his polished skill, the effect became very obvious.

One day when he just went back from his hunt with his team, he could not find Chen Qing everywhere, he asked Uncle Zhan Hai but he still didn't see Chen Qing coming back.

That day marked him with another despair.

Chen Qiang from that day always tried to find her. He searched for the place she occasionally went to, but still didn't have a slight clue. He was really frustrated, his little sister Chen Xi died by zombies because he was too weak. He always felt remorse afterward and felt a little better after he had sworn to protect Chen Qing, but now she had also disappeared.
