Chapter 285: 282. Migration
In Russia, things weren't exactly going well for a certain camp. The humans there naturally built a base to survive, and they had been holding on for five months since the apocalypse.
Currently, the camp was at the edge of a city, filled with humans who carried out one duty or another.
Inside the camp were even more refined buildings made with advanced materials, not resembling bricks or any material known on Earth.
Three people sat in front of a blacksmith's anvil. They all seemed to be equipped with protective gear and weapons.
"The government has really been trying to unite the camps. The vampires and werewolves are still the problem, though," a man said as he smoked a cigarette.
His dark skin glistened in the sunlight, his muscles were refined, and his green eyes were sharp, glancing around as he talked. He had his long dreadlocks tied up in a ponytail.
He was clad in a thick, sleeveless black vest with a golden necklace around his thick neck.
"We wouldn't be able to move out anytime soon. The wolves are now within the city."
The bulky man looked to the side to see another person sitting on a pavement.
The man had a soldier's uniform with a brown scarf around his neck. His golden-colored pupils contrasted his dark skin. His shoulder-length hair was glistening and curly.
"Really? So what do we do now? We can only reach the government city if we leave," the bulky man said, gritting his teeth.
"We'll move out soon, Jack. Perhaps we'll also get to meet the other high-rankers, or even the Second Incarnation," the tall soldier said with a smile.
"What's even special about this Second Incarnation? Is he like you, Rameses?" Jack asked with a raised brow.
Rameses only nodded and stood up, looking out of the entrance.
"Another round of monster attacks?" Jack asked as he walked forward too.
There was a huge tide of beasts rushing towards the camp.
"It's like if they get to a certain distance close to the camp, they all start rushing here. It's getting more dangerous," Jack said, and two axes appeared in both of his hands.
Before he could do anything, a bright beam of light shot towards the beasts, evaporating them instantly.
The beam swept the field, and all the creatures fell silent, one after the other.
Jack looked to the side to see Rameses wielding a long golden spear with a bright white blade at the tip.
"You could've just allowed me to get one or two kills," he said in a frustrated tone.
"Hahaha, get ready, my friend. Don't waste your time on these little creatures. We're leaving tonight," Rameses said with a smile, and Jack couldn't help but ramble as he walked away.
The spear in Rameses' hand let out a faint hum as it floated above his hand and turned into a ring for his wrist.

Over in the USA, Dexter and his crew were plotting their next step.
It had been over six months since the second phase of the Tiran impact, and everything had been oddly quiet...
Except for yesterday, of course.
"The Russian government... They built an entire city around the military base. Amazing," Kila couldn't help but say as she thought about it.
"I'm even shocked that the network came up yesterday for a brief moment, but I checked the laptop to see that it was only a message from this city that they had refuge."
"An entire city is probably better than a camp. We've been having trouble expanding anyway," Jude said with a shrug before looking at Dexter.
"What do you think?"
Dexter glanced over at Jude. He was still in deep thought.
"With everything happening and Tracy also wanting to go to Russia, I think we might have to go there and start something," Dexter said, folding his arms.
"They also mentioned pastured lands, good vegetation, and clean water. If we wanted to do that here, it'd take a very long time," Hannah said, looking at the laptop, which had a paused audio.
"How the hell are we going to migrate? There are a lot of people," Hannah inquired, biting her fingernail.
"I could help. We'll take the camp with us..." Collins said, and the others were all shocked.
"How do you expect to do that?" Kila asked, and Collins shrugged.
A few hours later, all the vampires were outside, and Dexter stood in front of all of them.
"The Russian government has managed to build a city and also sent an invite to surviving countries. I wonder how many actually survived, and how many would be able to cross the ocean," Dexter said, lost in thought.
He still doubted whether they would really be able to reach a city filled with survivors. An entire city...
"We're vampires anyway. We've had blood problems, so it'll be nice for us," Dexter said with a shrug.
Coming out of the underground laboratory, Dexter saw that all of the members of the camp were present—close to 300 people now.
They all stood in front of the entrance and waited for him.
"We might be heading over to another country soon. One filled with survivors like us. All the way in Russia..." Dexter said, and the vampires soon began to ponder what he said.
"An entire city managed to survive without destruction?" Discover hidden tales at мѵʟ
"I can't count how many sixth and fifth-class creatures we've faced up until now."
"But if we join hands with another camp or that city, we could finally expand."
Most of the members got the main idea, and Dexter only went to his own dorm and saw his mother talking with...
"M– Miss Lisa?" He was genuinely surprised to see Hannah's mother there.
"Ah, my future son-in-law, you're right on time. Come, sit," Lisa said with a bright smile, her blue eyes darting to the sides.
"I haven't met her before. I thought you said Hannah's mother died or left them," Jane said as she looked at Dexter, and he could only put on an innocent smile.
"I didn't know until a few months ago, too. By the way, what brings you here?" he asked, relaxing on the couch.
"Asher had a vision..." she said to him, and he frowned.
He definitely remembered the man who guided them during the Blood Moon.
"And in that vision, the world was taken from us, the residents, by an outside force."
