Chapter 220: We Can Do This!
Seeing that his attack worked on the protective wall, Theodore immediately repeated his attack. Theodore again took his sword from the sacred dimension and did the same thing as before.
Only this time, Theodore changed his skill; he used his Slash skill to replace his Vanishing Strike skill. Although his attacks were not as deadly as before, at least Theodore could still cause damage.
"Roxanne, be prepared to go as fast as you can after the protective wall breaks," said Theodore, reminding Roxanne to focus.
"I got it!" Roxanne tightened her grip on the steering wheel in front of her. She focused her gaze on the protective wall in front of them at the moment. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Geoffrey and Celia could only stay where they were as they watched the madness of Boss and his men attacking their car. Celia could feel how hard Boss was trying to prevent them from getting out of this city.
Finally, on his 10th attack, Theodore finally managed to destroy the protective wall made by Boss’s henchmen.
As soon as the protective wall was broken, Roxanne stepped on the accelerator and drove the car as fast as she could. Fortunately, they did not make further protective walls, so Roxanne could drive her car as fast as she could.
And that was how they finally managed to escape the madness in D City. Theodore quickly got into the car again, now that they were out of D City’s territory, so for the moment, they could be considered safe.
"I thought we were going to be trapped there, it’s a good thing we were able to escape," said Celia, finally sighing with relief when they were out of the D City area.
"We’re safe, right? It doesn’t matter if I slow down, right?" Roxanne frantically asked the others as she was unable to look the other way because she was focusing on the road in front of her.
"Yes! Sis you can slow down, it’s already too fast!" Geoffrey quickly patted Roxanne’s shoulder so she could relax.
Finally, after a while, Roxanne was able to calm down, and the speed of their car became stable and not as fast as before. Theodore also offered to switch positions with Roxanne, but Roxanne refused because she was too tired.
"No problem, I can still drive this time." Roxanne felt that she was still capable, so she could still drive this car for now.
"Alright, just tell me if you get tired." Theodore nodded his head.
Then, Geoffrey gave his tablet to Celia, who was sitting beside Roxanne. "I’ve tried to make a route to city H. Can you help Roxanne with the route?" Geoffrey extended his tablet towards Celia.
"No problem, you can rest." Celia happily accepted the tablet and began to guide Roxanne based on the route already in the tablet.
Geoffrey only nodded his head briefly, and he chose to turn to Theodore, who was sitting next to him.
"Are you alright?" Geoffrey felt that Theodore’s movements were a little different, so he suspected that something was wrong with Theodore.
"Just a little pain from my scar," Theodore replied quietly, not wanting to make the others worry about his condition.
"It’s better for you to rest. You can entrust this trip to us," Geoffrey replied, feeling worried about Theodore’s condition because he was very rarely injured like this, and this time, it seemed like he was really badly injured.
Theodore accepted the idea because he seemed to need rest after what had happened that day. However, before going to bed, Theodore gave Geoffrey some magic scrolls to back up.
"Don’t forget to renew the magic scrolls, I’ll rest first." After that, Theodore leaned his body back and began to close his eyes to sleep.
In order to speed up the journey, they did not stop to rest and continued their journey towards the H City area, which was their next destination. And, of course, Roxanne was meticulous because it was still night, and zombies were very active at this time of the day.

Theodore woke up when he felt a great shaking. His shocked self immediately opened his eyes to see what was really happening. The first thing Theodore made sure of was the state of his other friends.
"What happened?" Fortunately, Theodore saw that his friends were fine; it was just that their faces looked tense and anxious.
Realizing that there was something wrong with their expressions, Theodore immediately circulated his gaze and turned to the window on his right to see the situation outside the window.
And sure enough, Theodore could see a horde of zombies already surrounding their car. No wonder Theodore felt a great shock in his sleep. It turned out that there were indeed zombies attacking their vehicle.
"This city has been infested by zombies," Roxanne said in a trembling voice.
It was challenging for Roxanne to drive her car at the moment because the front of her car was already filled with zombies. Even Geoffrey had gone to the roof to launch an attack on the zombies.
"There are too many of them, no matter how much I finish them off they keep coming!" Geoffrey’s voice was heard from the roof of the car.
"We’ll be stuck here if we don’t finish them off!" Roxanne couldn’t do anything at the moment either.
Seeing that their situation was horrible at the moment, Theodore immediately acted to paralyze the zombies around their car.
Theodore also took out various grenades and gave them to Geoffrey; not only that, but he also asked him to shift slightly so that he could also get out through the roof.
"For now it’s inefficient to attack them with just arrows. These grenades will kill them faster," Theodore explained as he handed Geoffrey a stack of grenades.
"Are you sure this will kill them all?" Geoffrey took several grenades at once from Theodore.
"At least we have a higher chance with these grenades," Theodore replied with a smile on his face,
After that, they started throwing grenades around their car to kill the zombies that had gathered there. Geoffrey focuses on killing the zombies in the front of the vehicle.
Because of that, Roxanne had the opportunity to take their car away while Geoffrey and Theodore continued to attack the zombies that started chasing them closely.
"Looks like this town really has fallen to the zombies." Theodore looked around him, and all that was there were zombies.
"I was also surprised to find that there were so many zombies in the city," Geoffrey replied, still looking panicked.
"It wouldn’t be good to linger in this town." Theodore thought of continuing the journey without resting after seeing the state of this H-town.
Shortly after that came Roxanne’s voice from inside the car, "Damn! There are too many zombies up ahead!" Because of this, Roxanne decided to turn the car in another direction.
Geoffrey realized that their route had deviated; he wondered if this would get them out of this city faster or if it would hinder their journey.
