Chapter Seven: Pursuit (I)
As night gradually descended, Puge, dressed in a desert robe, stood atop the isolation zone, gazing at the heavily fortified walls. He couldn't help but sigh, for during the night, the isolation zone did not permit passage. With a sigh, he walked into a nearby inn, knowing he would have to wait until dawn to leave.
The nurse glanced at her and replied, "He left around noon. He also said to remind you to take care of yourself when you wake up and not to go home alone in the future"
Sofia just recalled that her senior's grandmother had advised him on her deathbed to venture into the wilderness to find that golden inn. In fact, she had overheard this by chance outside the door. At this moment, thinking back on it, she felt even more determined to find her senior, fearing that he might just disappear from her life.
A multitude of questions caused Puge to become somewhat silent. Fortunately, Xiaoxian continuously bombarded him with fatigue and engaged in brainwashing hypnosis along the way, allowing the despondent Puge to gradually emerge from that shadow.
"Nurse, um... who brought me here to the *picture* book hospital?" Sofia asked with a worried frown.
In fact, Park Ge left without saying goodbye to his junior simply because he did not want to involve her. It is important to note that that night, only a dozen members of the mercenary group were deployed, and their leader was the second-generation nuclear silkworm. In desperation, Park Ge had no choice but to stealthily follow the crowd coming out of the Western European Empire towards the Southern Front Split Alliance.
What does the so-called "they" mentioned by grandmother refer to?
The sparse lights spread across this isolated town, and because the southern front belongs to a tropical region, the temperature difference between day and night is quite significant. At night, a howling sandstorm blows through, and if it weren't for the towering isolation walls, it is likely that the winds and sands from the surrounding Gobi Desert would be even stronger. However, sandstorms frequently sweep through this tropical area
"One day and one night," the nurse replied with a frown.
The Adventure Valley that Puge is heading to is located in the surrounding wasteland of the Southern Front Alliance's quarantine zone
The nurse, who was organizing the medications nearby, sighed again and continued, "Your boyfriend is really nice, but it seems he is quite depressed, staying by your side day and night, even without eating or sleeping..." As she spoke, she picked up the prepared syringe and intended to come over to give Sofia an injection
Sofia held the phone for a long time, then quickly dialed another number
Are you crazy? Stay over there and study properly. After saying this, the call was abruptly disconnected
Unexpectedly, at a moment she least anticipated, the patient suddenly went mad, throwing off the blanket and pushing her aside, then ran out with her small, bare, and perfectly white feet exposed.
However, the quarantine area at night is still quite lively. The alley behind the hotel where Puge resides is a bustling night market street, filled with the sounds of people and the calls of vendors, mingling with the aromas of various snacks that waft throughout the entire street
Hello ... ... '' A voice full of magnetism came from the other end.
The classification of ordinary core silkworms based on their parasitic ownership is measured by the evolution system, divided into levels one to nine of evolution, with further classifications such as the Holy Body, and even more powerful forms. Most individuals who possess core silkworms are primarily adventurers, which naturally leads to the establishment of a ranking system for adventurers.
At this moment, however, Puge was not out wandering; instead, he was studying a map he had just acquired in the hotel room, while continuously discussing some issues regarding the quarantine zone with Xiaoxian.
The dark red light of the setting sun streamed through the window into the hospital room, which was permeated with the smell of disinfectant. Sofia, who had been lying unconscious on the hospital bed, suddenly opened her eyes and woke up. She then sat up and looked around; there was no one else in the room. She vaguely remembered that the car had exploded, and the flames had knocked her out. Before losing consciousness, she seemed to see her senior carrying her and running desperately.
However, at that moment, a series of knocks echoed from outside the door.
At this moment, a nurse opened the door and walked in
"How long have I been unconscious?" Sofia hurriedly asked the nurse who entered.
Puge furrowed his brow and walked over, while Xiaoxian simultaneously transformed Puge's other hand into a sharp blade and a book, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
The one who accompanied her in countless nights playing games online, the senior who often teased her like a rascal online, the one who desperately tried to save her, the feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger, no, she could not let him leave just like that, she had to find him
Our task is to retrieve the three separate cores and six silkworms that I once distributed in every corner of the world, so that we can see if we can revive your grandmother. Xiao Qian's words were quite useful; in the past few days, the despondent Park Ge, upon hearing that recovering the core silkworms might revive his grandmother, couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. At the same time, what made him even more anxious to know was, who exactly were his parents?
Senior, you must wait for me
Sofia lowered her head and fell into a daze, not knowing why, but the tear-streaked face she saw the day her senior's grandmother passed away suddenly caused her heart to ache.
Cousin, I want to go to your place... My dad doesn't allow it, but I need to go there to find someone... Please, cousin, I know that you are the best at this... Really. This afternoon, I will take a flight to the quarantine area to meet up with the caravan... Thank you, cousin.
She dashed outside, looking around for a phone. After much effort, she ran out to a reception desk where there was a phone, and then she dialed a number.
Puge also carried his identification documents and easily crossed the Western European border, boarding a truck heading to the southernmost part of the Southern Front. Although the major factions of the Southern Front Alliance were engaged in a civil war, the defense of the 5,000-meter isolation zone surrounding the wasteland was jointly managed by the Adventurers' Guild and the Mercenaries' Guild.
Thus, the truck traveled southward for three days and two nights, finally arriving at the quarantine zone on the night of the second day. A row of towering and sturdy walls stood at the end of that town.
Dad, I want to go to Adventure Valley
At this moment, Piao Ge is sitting behind a swaying truck, which is filled with passengers dressed in various eccentric outfits
