Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2869

Daybreak arrived. After running all night, Andrew spotted a decent-sized town ahead. There was a faint trace of exhaustion on his face, but his mood remained good. Even with his dramatically increased strength, non-stop travel through the night would wear anyone down.

In the Outlands wasteland, no one was truly in charge. Over time, drifters, fugitives, and all kinds of people ended up settling and multiplying here.

Towns like the one in front of Andrew were everywhere across the Outlands.

Places like this did not care about laws. The only order came from a few ruthless figures in town, and whatever weapons they held. And in a territory that no one governed, the only real currency was money.

Of course, higher-tier goods also worked, such as elixirs that benefited all martial artists, firearms, and women.

Andrew restocked his water supply in the small town, enjoyed a hearty meal, and set off again.

A stranger showing up usually drew unwanted attention, and several armed men in town casually tailed him for a short distance.

However, when Andrew turned around with a friendly smile and revealed the massive Godslayer on his back, those ill-intentioned men forced out awkward laughs and fled in panic.

After all, anyone who could wield such a massive sword was no ordinary person. So, these punks wisely chose to find another target to shake down.

Andrew slowed his pace. With one last glance at the portable map he carried, he tossed it aside and trekked toward a specific direction. Though he had taken a wide detour to shake off his pursuer, he was now close to the Wraith Graveyard.

Just two more hours, and he would arrive. The map had served its purpose and was no longer needed.

Andrew had memorized every place he had passed through. The wasteland scenery was monotonous and dull. Decades, if not centuries, ago, this place did not look like this. However, wars that wiped everything out had drained these places of all vitality.

One of the regions Andrew passed through had once been hit by a nuclear strike. Many years later, and with no one maintaining it, the land remained completely barren.
