Chapter 87 - Migration to Another World

As the number of locusts grew, the town initiated a movement to eliminate the pests. The only individual who was happy about this situation was the shopkeeper, as her insecticide was practically flying off the shelf.

The town’s residents managed to deter most of the locusts, but they were horrified to discover that most of their plants had been destroyed. According to unofficial reports, nearly half of the town’s special plants had been lost, and they could no longer fight against the zombies. Without the plants’ aid, they were certain that they wouldn’t survive the night against the zombie horde with their disorganized formation.

The mayor had no choice but to activate the town’s emergency plan. He opened the church as a shelter for the town’s residents to survive the night. Han Wu secretly seized this opportunity and commanded his locusts to attack the remaining special plants while the town’s residents were away.

Han Wu was certain that the town’s residents were powerless against the zombies once their special plants had all disappeared. At that point, they had no choice but to move away.

Soon, night fell, and the thousands of residents were huddled together inside the church. For their safety, some residents even offered their prized special plant seeds and planted them in pots outside the church as a last line of defense. With the strong special plants providing protection from the outside, the church would be safe for the night.

Han Wu, on the other hand, followed the Defender Squad to the outskirts of the town. Their mission remained the same: defeat the zombies, Rank 5 and above.

While battling the zombies, Han Wu received an urgent message from one of his locusts, informing him that Xu Tie and the assassin were on their way. Han Wu couldn’t help but chuckle at Xu Tie’s impatience, certain that Xu Tie still hadn’t realized that Han Wu had recovered his strength as a Divine being. He planned to give Xu Tie a surprise, and everything was unfolding perfectly according to his plan.

Soon, Xu Tie and the assassin reached the entrance of the town. They concealed themselves in a corner, watching Han Wu’s movements as they waited for an opportunity to strike. Han Wu was aware of their intentions and intentionally provided them with an opening. He slowly drew away from his squad, and feigned running farther from the town to draw Xu Tie and the assassin closer.

As expected, they fell for his ruse. Han Wu was already sitting on a boulder waiting for them when they showed up.

“I’ve been waiting for you two,” he remarked with a smile.

Xu Tie turned to the assassin, suspicion flashing in his eyes. “You told him?”

The assassin’s expression darkened. “You can doubt my personality, but never my professionalism!”

Xu Tie narrowed his eyes in confusion. If the assassin hadn’t betrayed him, how had Han Wu learned of their plan?

“Never mind, what’s more important is that we take Han Wu’s life here today,” Xu Tie told the assassin.

He then turned to Han Wu and said, “Han Wu, you will die here tonight!”

Han Wu raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to kill me? This is a major class, and the college is recording everything. How will you explain yourself?”

Xu Tie had already prepared an excuse. “The one killing you is the assassin from Zombie Town. What does it have to do with me?”

The assassin was already restless. He snapped, “Why are you talking so much with a dead man? I will kill him now.”

He summoned a Rank 6 Spectre Vine and fused with it. After fusing, the assassin’s body melted into the shadows.

Spectral Dash!

He activated the skill he acquired after fusing with the Spectre Vine and instantly closed the gap between himself and Han Wu. The assassin aimed a sharp dagger at Han Wu’s neck, already imagining Han Wu’s head rolling off his shoulders.

Just when he thought everything was over, he was shocked to find that his dagger couldn’t even pierce Han Wu’s skin.

“How can this be?” The assassin leaped back, eyes locked on Han Wu’s neck. Something was off.

Then he saw it; black-gold scales gleamed in the dim light, forming an impenetrable barrier over Han Wu’s skin. That’s how he had blocked the attack.

Han Wu clapped as if praising the effort. “Nice try. Now, it’s my turn.”

Ten shadows burst forth from the darkness and appeared to stand in front of Han Wu. They were his ten Flesh Golems, the Cockroaches!

“Kill them!” Han Wu ordered, and the Cockroaches charged at the assassin as one.

Xu Tie saw them and remembered how easily his units were defeated by these ten golems.

Still reeling from the unexpected shock, he asked, “You... You really can summon your units here?”

Han Wu grabbed his black greatsword and slowly approached Xu Tie, cold determination in his eyes. Xu Tie sensed the killing intent emanating from Han Wu, and shuddered.

He threatened the approaching Han Wu. “You can’t kill me. The college is recording everything. There’s nothing you can say to convince them later on.”

Han Wu copied Xu Tie’s excuse. “That’s true. I won’t kill you. I will just cripple you and toss you into the zombie horde. It’s none of my concern if they kill you or not later.”

“Don’t... Don’t get close to me!”

Xu Tie attempted to run toward the town, knowing well that Han Wu couldn’t kill him in front of the others. However, he had underestimated Han Wu’s speed. He had barely turned around when Han Wu jumped and cut off one of his arms.

Xu Tie howled in pain. “No! How can you be this strong?”

“You already know that I can summon my units.” Han Wu chuckled, amused. “Naturally, I’ve regained my strength as a Divine Being.”

Without waiting for a reply, he severed Xu Tie’s remaining limbs. By now, Xu Tie’s fear had been replaced by intense hatred.

He cursed at Han Wu with eyes full of malice. “Just you wait, bastard. My family will never let you go when they learn what you did to me. My family’s God will kill you!”

Han Wu ignored his shouts and tossed him into a nearby zombie horde. The battle on the other side had also ended. The assassin had been devoured by the ten Cockroaches until even his bones were gone.

Han Wu inspected the area where the assassin had died and found a Divine dagger and a Rank 6 Spectre Vine seed. He stored them in his pouch and returned to the entrance of the town to continue killing the zombies as if nothing had happened.

The night passed, and the town residents were shocked to find that their special plants had been completely consumed by the locusts when they returned home. An air of heavy despair enveloped the town. They couldn’t do anything against the zombies without their plants.

The mayor learned what had happened and immediately called the representatives of the town for a meeting. Han Wu was also invited. The main agenda of the meeting was to discuss what they could do to survive.

The representatives shared their opinions, but none of them could solve the issue permanently.

Han Wu took the chance and spoke up. “Have you guys considered living in another world?”

Interested in the idea, the town residents started discussing that possibility. One of them recalled reading an ancient document that stated the existence of a transfer gate built a thousand years ago in the town, which could be used to transport them to another world. However, the transfer gate had been destroyed by the zombies in the past, and their connection to the other world was lost.

Han Wu patted his chest, his voice steady with certainty. “I have a method to reconstruct the gate and reconnect to the other worlds.”

A wave of relief and excitement rippled through the representatives. If they could restore the connection, survival was no longer a distant hope—it was a real possibility.

The mayor wasted no time. “We will follow your method, Han Wu. You will have every material necessary to repair the transfer gate.”

After the meeting, Han Wu immediately reached out to the Wisdom Tree for the repair of the transfer gate. The destination?

His own divine realm.
