Chapter 2730: Chapter 1845: Emergency Assembly

"Frankly, I don’t know."

The man shrugged his shoulders.

"If it were before, I would think it was just the lies of religious frauds, you know... angels, demons, evil spirits... I’ve lived in this world for so many years and never seen such things. But this tribunal... it’s hard to say."

He raised his head and stared at the bookshelf holding pamphlets with a somewhat complex expression.

"You know, if I really encounter a Great Impure on the battlefield someday, I might just kneel down and pray to God... no, the tribunal to protect me..."

The boy was silent, and the tribunal’s manual also detailed the enemies they were going to face. According to the manual, these zombies were just the lowest plague zombies under the terrifying Evil God. Above them were The Plague Bearer, rotten fly swarm, Nagou Beast, and other terrifying enemies like the Great Impure.

Moreover, they would also twist all living creatures in this world, turning them into ugly and corrupt forms.

Even the plague zombies come in several types, such as bone-piercing plague with bones growing all over. The living corpse pox, covered in rot and chickenpox everywhere. Zombies turning back into humans, then into a giant worm, known as the double-faced worm. And the destroyer plague that crawls into every hole in your body to lay eggs, causing more worms to burst out of you...

Honestly, just reading these descriptions made the boy feel itchy all over; it was scarier than a horror story.

Not to mention the tribunal also detailed the occurrence and detailed workings of each plague variant.

This reminded the boy of when he visited a hospital and saw some disease explanation charts on the walls, which caused a great psychological shadow as a child. But at least those diseases had traceable patterns and could be understood.

But what the tribunal described... sounded more like settings in a horror game.

"Dong———dong———dong———"

At that moment, suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out. Hearing this sound, the man beside him stood up.

"Emergency assembly? What’s happened?"

"Assembly?"

"Yes, emergency assembly, didn’t you pay attention during the briefing when you came in?"

The man grabbed the boy.

"Once the bell rings, we’re required to immediately regroup and head to the square by the station to assemble, tidy up, we’re moving out! I don’t want to get kicked by the captain because you were late!"

Across from the hotel serving as their base was a small park, likely a place for cooling off and strolling during normal times, but now it served as the tribunal’s assembly area. The two hurriedly ran out of the hotel and came to the square in the park opposite, where some people had already assembled. The boy quickly ran back to his team, then looked around, soon spotting the familiar girls running out too. They greeted each other, then obediently returned to their respective lines.

And as the boy came to, he began to look to the other side--- the first thing he saw was Duanmu Huai, the towering giant wearing that fearsomely imposing battle armor standing beside him, arms crossed, silent. And on his shoulder sat a petite girl.

Actually, everyone privately speculated about Duanmu Huai’s relationship with that girl; at least it seemed like they definitely weren’t father and daughter. And the girl always appeared cold, as she generally stayed by Duanmu Huai’s side, never showing up in front of anyone else.

Beside Duanmu Huai was a girl with golden hair and heterochromatic eyes, who was holding a notebook, jotting down notes while occasionally conversing with others. The boy remembered her name was Mary, one of the most familiar people in the tribunal, who mainly relayed the orders from the Great Judge to everyone and also shared the tribunal’s doctrine with them.

The girl Mary was talking to named Lorena dressed like a clergy member; in fact, she introduced herself as a nun. However, everyone scarcely believed she looked like a nun. The boy was most deeply impressed by... her training.

Indeed, Lorena was responsible for training the entire tribunal, whether it was jogging, exercise, or special training, she supervised and trained them. Honestly, the boy found training with this girl incredibly intimidating. Because when you’ve done ten push-ups and are exhausted, seeing the other girl calmly finish a hundred without breaking a sweat, and she’s younger than you... that kind of defeat felt... sharper than a knife in the heart.

Beside Lorena, the girl staring blankly at the sky in a daze was Mianmu Zuoniao, who the boy didn’t know much about, but after joining the team, he was sternly warned by others not to provoke this girl, as she genuinely would not hesitate to hack someone down.

But the boy had no particular impression of this so far, just finding her a somewhat peculiar girl.

Further to the side were the very familiar Medea and Alice Phil, who were adored by the others because they primarily helped treat people, even dealing with troublesome cases like broken arms and legs, using that peculiar method resembling magic to easily restore them.

No medicine, no injections, just instantly better.

It’s something everyone longs for.

But to the boy’s surprise, beside them stood a red-haired girl holding a map and mumbling as if studying something.

"Who’s that red-haired girl? I’ve never seen her before,"

The boy quietly asked the man beside him, and the latter turned his head, glanced in the direction mentioned.

"Ah, that’s Miss Naruse Mio, she’s back? Then we might be moving."

"Moving?"

"Indeed, oh, you weren’t here at the time, so you don’t know. Miss Naruse Mio has been out, mainly investigating the surrounding buildings."

"What’s she investigating them for?"

"That I don’t know."

The man shrugged his shoulders.

"After all, there are more and more people here, it’s almost too crowded, so it’s about time. Our team previously accompanied her on a survey, if I’m not mistaken, this emergency assembly is very likely related to that."

As they talked, others had gathered at the square, and at this point, Duanmu Huai walked over and stared at everyone, scanning them. Just feeling his gaze brought a sense of pressure and terror, but they gritted their teeth, stood tall, and stood there.

"Alright, let’s make this brief."

Duanmu Huai spoke.

"I think you’ve noticed, the number of people here is increasing. Under such conditions, expanding the city is not a good choice, so we’ve decided to remodel this place."

Remodel?

Hearing this, the others felt a bit puzzled; were they going to become carpenters?

Soon, someone raised their hand.

"Do we need to prepare, Great Judge?"

"No need."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"The only reason I called you out here is for you to stand here obediently, don’t go anywhere."

"???"

Hearing these words, everyone looked even more confused, but Duanmu Huai clearly didn’t care to explain; he simply turned his head to Naruse Mio.

"It’s your show, go ahead."
