Chapter 304 Bread and Stars! Doomsday Marauder! Fanatic Fans!

"Back already?" Drumph, who had been busy cleaning up the battlefield, turned around and saw Luca strolling back with a knife in hand.

Seeing Luca covered in blood, Coarmy couldn't help but ask, "What's with all the blood?"

Most monsters' blood is black, but Luca's blood was clearly human. He had only been gone for a short while—how did he end up covered in human blood?

The others also glanced over, their eyes filled with surprise. Had this guy gone out and killed someone?

Luca didn't bother to elaborate, responding only with, "It's nothing. I just took care of a few animals. Have the people from the stadium evacuated?"

By now, the central plaza was empty of ordinary citizens, with only a few soldiers remaining to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing that Luca didn't want to talk further, Drumph didn't press the issue. "The civilians have all been evacuated. We're planning to set up a defensive position here to help clear out the monsters in Celephais."

The stadium's location was at the heart of Celephais City, and with this as the center, they could cover the entire central area.

Coupled with the underground passages scattered throughout the city, clearing the monsters in Celephais would be a much easier task.

Luca nodded slightly, agreeing with the plan.

Drumph smiled and then, as though remembering something, his expression turned serious. "Once Celephais is cleared, we move on to the Northern Territory. Just don't disappear on us again."

"What do you mean, disappear?" Luca said with a slight chuckle. "I was handling some important business, alright?"

Talking about Eternal World with them wouldn't make much sense, and it involved too many complicated details. Luca figured he would explain it to them when the time was right.

Donald and Darabont had already left, so Luca thought for a moment and then said, "I need to head back first. I came in such a hurry earlier that I didn't get a chance to deal with the monsters around the villa area."

As long as Sini and the others were safe, he could focus on helping with the monster cleanup, but the safety of the villa area was paramount. Drumph understood Luca's reasoning and waved him off, signaling him to go and return quickly.

"By the way," Coarmy said, "That big star, Renamon, left a business card for you. She said you can contact her if you need anything." Coarmy handed over the card, and the others looked at Luca with envious expressions. After all, it was a business card from Renamon herself—something most people could only dream of getting.

However, Luca simply gave a nonchalant "Mm," stuffed the card into his pocket without even glancing at it. Some people still hadn't shifted their mindset, but Luca understood clearly: after the apocalypse, many things would have to change. What used to be unattainable—like a famous star's business card—might, after the apocalypse, be worth nothing more than a loaf of bread.

Luca didn't linger any longer. He leaped into the air and quickly vanished from sight, his figure disappearing atop the rooftop.

"I don't want to crawl through a sewer either." Fuzzsir watched him with a touch of envy, while Donlow, rolling his eyes in annoyance, muttered, "I think you just want to feed the monsters."

...

By the time Luca returned to the villa area, the sun had already set, and the sky had darkened. Donald and Darabont still hadn't returned—no one knew where they had gone—and Luca honestly didn't have the energy to go

The scene that followed was a bit inappropriate for younger audiences. Luca cleared his throat, took Susie, and led her back to the safe room underground, pretending he hadn't heard their pleas for mercy.

Susie puffed up her cheeks, clearly upset about something.

Luca thought for a moment, then took out Renamon's contact information from his pocket and handed it to her.

Seeing Susie's confused expression, he explained, "It's your idol's contact information. I happened to save her when I was at the stadium."

"Idol?" Susie didn't catch on immediately, but her eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed the business card from his hand in an instant.

"Renamon! You met Renamon? At a concert! You are so lucky! Tell me, is she as pretty as she looks on TV? Is she more beautiful than me? Come on, tell me!"
