Chapter 299
Luaten, Southern Region of the Kingdom of Graydon
[Sinclair Underground Passage Guide]
Irene, a survivor of the apocalypse, felt a surge of excitement as she read the guide distributed by the townspeople.
Rumors about Sinclair’s exploits across Benton, Westmore, Kintne, and Brunel had spread like wildfire throughout the Kingdom of Graydon.
Because the virus had reached the southern regions of Graydon much later, so too had the rumors.
It wasn’t until a year after the outbreak that they first heard the news and received aid from the capital.
‘One day, I’ll definitely visit the capital and explore the underground passages myself!’
Of course, such a childish thought had to be erased immediately.
Krrrwaaaah—!
A virus monster had descended upon the village.
The capital’s reinforcements were helping to clear the infected, but both their numbers and resources were limited.
There was no way to eliminate all the virus monsters completely.
Irene loaded her shotgun.
Before the world fell, she had been the daughter of the Lord of Luaten, a town in the wealthy southern region of Graydon.
Naturally, she had never once touched a gun.
As the only daughter, she had been raised with utmost care and affection.
But when the virus outbreak destroyed the town—when her father became infected—she picked up a gun.
Screams filled the air.
Children wailed, villagers begged for their lives.
Irene threw open the doors of the lord’s manor, learned to shoot, and began hunting the virus monsters.
Her once delicate hands, free of calluses, accumulated scars one by one.
“Lady Irene! The northern wall has collapsed! The virus monsters are flooding in from the north!”
At the urgent cry of a sentry guarding the lord’s manor, Irene quickly raised her binoculars and surveyed beyond the broken wall.
Just as the guard had reported, the northern wall had completely caved in.
What do you think?
