Chapter 121: 115. The last camp standing.
On his palm now was a black symbol which looked like some kind of triangle but with more mystical patterns within, making it seem like a sick tattoo.
"Ugh, the hell just happened?" Henry said as he used the long sword as support to move over to Dexter.

"I just befriended the horse?" Dexter said with a raised brow as he too was confused on what just happened.
"It's relating to the class I chose so now, it's my... what the hell...?" Dexter was even confused on what he said.
"You should have done that from the start. Why don't we just kill it? We couldn't even fight it physically, i can turn on you." Henry suggested but Dexter felt something odd about the whole situation.
"Where the hell did it come from? There's no detail about its rank or its species.'' Dexter mumbled but Henry walked closer to him.
"Could be some supernatural creature.'' Henry said and Dexter nodded too as it'll make more sense.
''So should we go back or should we find somewhere else to stay. There are still monsters roaming about so I think we should find somewhere to hide first.'' Henry suggested but Dexter looked at the farm warehouse in the distance.
"Let's go back, I owe those fools a beating." Dexter said and Henry followed behind him.
"Hey. If you don't mind me asking, those two guys were the same cousins who threw you into a pool?" Henry asked and Dexter nodded.
...
They stealthily moved towards the warehouse, using the dead cows and large animals to be unnoticed by other monsters that passed through the area.
*Bang!!*
Dexter kicked the door open and Fridge was the first one to come forward.
"Bro. You're alive!!" Fridge shouted with a wide smile but Dexter raised his leg up at that moment, delivering a kick to the elder guy's face and sending him to the other side of the room.
The people around gasped as they saw what happened and cook came from another side.
"Dexter, your own family!!" Cook said, his expression that of pure rage and Dexter got even more angry at his pretence.
"Young man why did you hit him?" An elderly man's said from the crowd. "He was only welcoming you back."
'Yeah, that's what it looks like.' Dexter thought before grabbing Cook and throwing him towards where he threw Fridge and he pounced on them.
He didn't take them too seriously as he figured out that they didn't increase their stats much so he minimized how hard he punched and beat the living hell out of the two boys.
Henry too felt the pain sometimes as he watched Dexter beat them. And when Dexter was finally finished, he breathed out a tired but satisfied sigh as he looked at the guys in front of him who had multiple bruises.
He stepped back and then as he turned around, the people moved a step back and cleared a way for him and he sighed as he walked towards Henry.
The people gave him a scared expression and they just looked away from him when he looked at them.
Dexter walked passed Henry and just as he was about to leave completely he heard a low electric buzzing sound followed by a crackling sound and he suddenly turned to one of the people there.
"Increase the volume." Dexter said and the elderly woman looked at him in confusion.
"W- what?" She stuttered.
"The radio behind you." Dexter clarified and she stepped sideways to see a wide radio which looked extremely fun to play something with.
The woman increased the volume and 5hen Dextwr heard a voice from it.
[*Bzzt*... things are looking bad for Nigeria. Most of the... *Bzzt*... bases has been destroyed, about 80% of our population is gone. There is still the main camp just close to the sea shore in Lagos.
If you are alive and you can hear me, the main camp, in Lagos is the safest place to be.... *BZZT!!*]
From the radio gunshots and deadly roars of creatures came from the other side and Dexter furrowed his brows as he knew it would be a hell zone there as all creatures will be attracted there.
But there was something that was of importance there.
Ships... boats... seaborne machines.
"The sea shore." Henry mumbled with a frown. "Isn't that where boats of the navy are too."
"Exactly. That's where we have to go to." Dexter said and looked at the people there and they all looked like they have given up on life already.
He then remembered when he stayed at the first camp where the giant crab titan attacked and the people there always smiled as they were protected.
He blinked and looked away and then Henry touched his shoulder.
"They don't seem like they want to leave. Let's just go." Henry said and Dexter turned around before walking away from the warehouse with Henry.
...
Dexter and Henry couldnt go too far as more and more monsters appeared to block their path and often times they had to hide.
A giant mantis struck down with its scythe-like legs towards Dexter who was holding his own against another.
*Clank!!*
Henry came from behind and blocked the attack and he swiped the leg away before jumping up with an uppercut.
The mantis stumbled backwards, making cackling sounds as it gazed at Hanry.
"We seriously need to find somewhere safe." Henry said as he got ready for the next attack but Dexter just hit the ground with the blunt part of his spear and thick ropes from the shadows of the creatures lunged out and wrapped them before binding them to the ground.
"Quick. We don't have much time." Dexter said as he ran in another direction and Henry followed behind.
"Shit. We have to find somewhere to stay till things calm down." Henry said and he then looked at another angle and then he saw something.
"Dude, over there." Henry said and not too far away from them was a large container which seemed to have fallen off of the trailer beside it.
Dexter looked back and his spirit energy was becoming drained quickly and they took a sharp turn, away from the area of vision of the giant green mantises and the creatures let out loud screeching sounds.
