Chapter 182 - 182 New Member
Lucy nodded. “Of course. Do you think that I still have energy to head over to other cities? Not to mention that other cities might not have better situation as compared to City E. Why should I bother going to other cities and create trouble for myself?”
After being separated from Kate, Lucy was doing her own business by trying to reach her younger brother’s university. She came from different city and only went to City A for the sake of her study.
This red rain and the giant mutated animals that appeared caused her to be separated from them.
Luckily for her, she awakened enhancement ability.
With this ability of hers, rushing through those giant mutated animals were not impossible and those giant mutated animals ended up being beaten up by her until their death. This allowed Lucy to finally found her brother and meet Kate there.
Because of her poor sense of direction, she went the wrong way a few times to the point that even she herself felt extremely annoyed by herself.
But there was simply nothing that she could do because there were not many people whom she could trust on the way. With the world changing and survival being so hard, people became extremely selfish and had long crossed their bottom line.
Lucy knew that.
.....
Which was why she tried her best to stay away from those people and made sure that she could survive on her own.
On the way to City E, Lucy had already seen the state of many other areas.
She had to admit that these giant mutated animals truly changed the lives of so many people. They couldn’t have a place to stay, couldn’t have the same peace they used to have, and had to be forced to fight for the sake of survival.
There was no other cities Lucy wanted to go.
After all, after reuniting with her family members, what she wanted was simply to find a good place to stay.
If possible, she wanted a safe place.
And since her best friend is in City E, she decided to come here instead.
“True enough.”
Kate herself liked staying here. At the very least, the people were busy building while resisting the attacks of these giant mutated animals. There were no complicated schemes or anything like that.
Though, the building process itself might take a long time.
“I heard about your parents being here, so I decided to come here,” Lucy explained when she saw that Kate seemed to be able to easily accept it. This friend of hers was a bit slow in some matters.
“Huh? How did you hear about them?” Kate was stunned.
“Well, your father’s name had been mentioned a few times. I meet with some soldiers who talked about him and after asking some questions, I know that your father is with General Ryan.”
And the fact that General Ryan escaped from City Be was not exactly a secret.
Lucy knew about that and after some hard inquiring, she found out that they were all in City E. Thus, she decided to come here. At the very least, she would have someone she knew and no longer roaming around.
“I see.” Kate furrowed her eyebrows.
It seemed that her father’s status was a bit higher than what she thought at first. Would this be a good thing or a bad thing?
The good thing was that it would make her father have more protection.
The bad thing was that there will definitely be more people who were after her father.
Kate could only sigh when she thought about this.
“Do you think Kyle will agree with me joining his team?” Lucy suddenly asked.
“Huh? You want to join his team?” Kate was surprised.
Lucy nodded. “Yeah. I’m not exactly good at building and you know how careless I used to be. Because of that, I think that it’ll be better for me to join a group and do some mission. I’m not sure about other groups, but if it’s with you, I think that it’ll be pretty fun.”
Kate was speechless. Did her requirement to join a group was whether the group would be fun or not?
But thinking about it, Lucy was of enhancement awakened and had raw power that was far stronger than others. She was definitely the most suitable for being the tank or attackers at the front.
In other words: meat shield.
“How about your younger brother, Lucas? He’s of earth element, right?” Kate remembered Lucy’s younger brother whom they rescued back then in City D.
“He has poor control and hadn’t even advanced from rank 3.” Lucy sneered. “He signed up as builder who will help the others in building the cities faster. There’s no need to worry about him too much.”
Kate’s lips twitched as she felt that Lucas must have been pushed by his sister to become the builder. But it was also true that if they couldn’t reach rank 4, it would be too dangerous for them to get out and hunt these giant mutated animals.
Many of these giant mutated animals had already reached rank 3 and 4 when they got out last time. If they were too weak, it was estimated that they would be overwhelmed by these giant mutated animals and ended up dying on the spot.
“Well, it’s good that he can have some work to do.”
“What’s your rank?” Lucy recalled that she hadn’t asked this to Kate.
“Rank 6.”
“Pfft! You’re joking right?” Lucy was stunned speechless when she turned to look at Kate.
However, Kate was simply looking back at Lucy. Since when did she, Kate, liked to joke around about this kind of matter?
Lucy took a deep breath. The real reason why she could advance so quickly to rank 5 and 2 minor advancements was because she had used more than 8 gems she could find on the way. Those of enhancement awakened was fairly rare and even if there were one or few, they would not be able to survive as long as her.
