Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2792 Sunshade Escapes

There was no denying Camp South Master had been vital in the successful killing of Minotaur.

Hence, if Camp South Master was still alive, Zeke wouldn't mind sparing his life.

Sole Wolf and the others immediately went to the battlefield to search for Camp South Master's whereabouts.

After searching for some time, they returned and reported, "Zeke, we couldn't find any trace of Camp South Master."

"Well, he self-destructed his life force, so he should have been blown into pieces. His body fragments are probably mixed with Minotaur's feces."

"Okay. Although Camp South Master is dead, he has helped us a lot. We can't forget his kindness. Camp South is now without a leader, so let's go and take it to prevent Camp South Master from dying in vain!' Sole Wolf and the others couldn't help but snicker at Zeke's noble-sounding words; they almost believed him.

Without further ado, they hurried to Camp South.

Most of the over ten thousand residents in Camp South had been cursed with parasitic worms.

They were all weak and paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.

Only their breathing confirmed that they were still alive.

However, some people were no longer breathing.

Of course, they were not really dead yet.

The poison was not lethal; it only made its victims suffocate for a short time.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the poison had only affected the young adults in the town and not the elderly or children.

This was something that Zeke did deliberately.

He had only intended to use the poison to control Camp South Master without causing any fatalities.

Using the cursed parasitic worm on the elderly and children would reap no benefits.

Young adults were the lifeblood of Camp South, and it was sufficient to have control over them.

Meanwhile, Sunshade snuck out of the Camp Master's room as he wanted to escape before the Camp Master returned. He knew he would be punished for taking the Camp Master's two spirit pills and allowing Ares to rob him of hundreds of Heavenly Spirit Stones.

But as soon as he came out of the room, he was surprised to find that all the residents of Camp South were lying on the street. Many of them were gasping for air, and some even had stiff bodies.

The surroundings had turned into a realm of lifeless bodies, leaving Sunshade stunned. He hurriedly approached a person to inquire about the cause, but the individual's voice was barely audible. "I... I don't know. It happened suddenly, and everyone in the town is in a similar situation as me. What... What's happening?"

Sunshade was terrified as he pondered on his situation.

How did this happen? It's highly likely that someone had poisoned them. Could it be Zeke and his men? They are so ruthless and willing to do anything to achieve their goals, even disregarding the lives of thousands of people.

Sunshade decided to ignore these people, as his life was more important than theirs.

As he made his way out, numerous people begged for his help, yet he paid no heed. His only goal was to leave Camp South before Camp South Master came back.

Just as he was about to reach the city gate, a woman's voice suddenly called out to him. "Sunshade... Save me... Save me..."

Juliette! It's Juliette's voice!

The man shuddered all over and immediately looked toward the sound.

She was Sunshade's beloved woman, and they had been secretly seeing each other.

He had planned to announce their relationship to the whole city soon, but he never expected to be caught in this situation.

Even though he had a heart of stone, he couldn't ignore the plea of his lover.

Sunshade stopped and walked to Juliette. As he held her in his arms, he asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Save... our child." She spoke weakly, tears streaming down her face.

"Child?" Sunshade's heart skipped a beat. "Juliette, what are you talking about? Whose child are you referring to?"
