Chapter 915: Two Years 1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Whether it was the effect of the training method or not, it was likely to be related to Red Moon.
A glimpse of understanding flashed through Garen’s mind.
The origin of Red Moon, this Forbidden Core, was very mysterious. No one knew how it came to Mother Planet, or how he was involved with Clint.
Pus.h.i.+ng aside these thoughts, Garen reviewed the injuries of the two. Now he was faced with a dilemma, should he bring them back?
“People with radiation disease were not allowed to enter the inner region at all. This is unavoidable… Once discovered, they will have to be executed immediately.” Garen knew about this rule. “But if I don’t take them back, there are battles everywhere on the outside… Security is also a big issue.”
After contemplating in his heart, Garen squatted down and still did not choose to take the two away. With Red Moon here, both of them should not have too many problems. Since they had overcame difficult and dangerous situations before, what might come next would just be a little hards.h.i.+p at the most.
Furthermore, when he had just checked, he discovered that the Willpower of both of them had actually broke through to Level Two. And in the light Level Two fluctuations, there vaguely was the general pilot’s Level Three or Four. It simply was terrifying.
“Indeed it’s Red Moon, the existence of Forbidden Core… In this kind of in-defiance-of-nature training method, advancing one level is equivalent to other people advancing two or three levels.” While being astounded at the same time, Garen cautiously left some medicine and necessary pure drinking water behind. Eventually, he chose to leave.
Staying in the radiation belt now with the care of Red Moon, perhaps this was the greatest training for them.
Radiation disease might affect the body’s immune system, life expectancy, and body const.i.tution, but even so, there was Red Moon. To live past fifty or sixty years was definitely not a problem. Even seventy or eighty years was not impossible. This guy’s means seemed to be endless.
It was also said that when the pilot’s Willpower reached Inheriting level, there would be physical reincarnation, which would remove most of the symptoms of the disease.
After carefully inspecting for dangerous creatures around and determining that there was no danger, Garen chose to leave quietly.
He could not have any ties with Clint and the other two at this stage and must not allow others to know of this relations.h.i.+p. Both Blackboard and White Light were currently searching for them both and the temptation of Forbidden Core was simply deadly for a pilot’s force.
Garen quickly returned following the original way he had come from. He believed that Red Moon would handle the situation well. This was White Light’s patrol area. If he did not hurry to leave, the battle just now would definitely attract a large number of high-level White Light pilots and that would only make it harder to leave.
As he opened the mud-board at the entrance of the tunnel, Garen quickly rolled over and rushed out, speedily leaving and heading towards the way that he had come from. The mud-board slowly fell back into place and before it had touched the ground, his figure had already disappeared at the end of the plain.
In the underpa.s.s, depths of the tunnel beside the unconscious Clint and Baylon, subtle footsteps could be heard.
In the darkness, an ordinary middle-aged man dressed in brown leather slowly emerged and was whistling. Suddenly, he saw Clint lying on the edge of the tunnel.
“What?”
His eyes flashed and he instantly fixed his sight on Baylon among the two. Fair-skinned, beautiful facial features, high chest, and slim waist; this was simply the highest grade kind of young girl to radiation people.
Gulp. The man swallowed his saliva, quickly walked over and squatted down.
“Hey, wake up”, he pushed Baylon’s arm.
No response.
“Still alive? Wake up, wake up!” He continued to push Clint’s arm. Seeing that there was no response from the two, the man’s throat bobbed even more. He reached out his quivering hands towards Baylon’s towering breast.
Pap.
Suddenly, something seemed to roll down from Clint’s body just as he moved.
His line of sight moved towards it, but he could not withdraw it again. Even the sight of Baylon that had attracted him previously could not cause him to return his gaze.
“Water, it actually is pure water!!”
It was a transparent gla.s.s bottle filled with clear water. That type of clear-color water, at a glance, could only appear in at least grade two or higher grade pure water!!
In the radiation belt, the lower the radiation level of pure water, the better the water quality and the more effective it was for radiation people to detoxify.
Consuming true pure water without radiation in large amount could discharge the radiation viruses out of the radiation people’s body and result in the lowest one percent of radiation const.i.tution. This kind of radiation const.i.tution could greatly enhance life expectancy. The general body const.i.tution of radiation people had about fifty percent degree of radiation. This was the counterbalance achieved between the body’s immune system and the radiation virus. The lower the degree of radiation, life expectancy and what not would increase.
It was said that the highest one percent of radiation const.i.tution could even live longer than those in the inner region. Perhaps the long-term radiation variation had changed the const.i.tution of the people in the outer region so that they became more robust. As long as there was enough pure water, they could exceed the weak body const.i.tution of the inner region people who were like hothouse flowers.
Gulp…
Another greedy bobbing sound from the throat. The middle-aged man’s claws reached out and with lightning speed, grabbed the bottle of pure water. He dared not open it hastily as he was afraid of polluting the water.
Then, he quickly found some anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-radiation drugs, and other things left behind by Garen beside Clint.
These things were basically expensive items in the radiation belt. The middle-aged man who quickly collected the good things, could not suppress his excitement. When he looked at the two people, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
“If I kill these two people, then these things will all be mine…”
This idea continued to turn over in his mind.
He slowly extended his hand and bit by bit, stretched it out towards Clint’s throat.
“Whoo…”
A strong wave of Willpower force field suddenly spread out. Clint made a sound and so happened to slowly regained consciousness.
A pair of eyes directly met the middle-aged man.
He blinked and realized that his injuries were much better. He looked at the medical bandage and other objects that were in the man’s other hand.
“Was it you who saved us?” he asked blankly. After examining Lonnie who was beside, it seemed that her situation had also improved by a great deal.
The man was just an ordinary person with Level One Willpower. At this time, his face was a little stiff. Feeling the force field of Level Two with its amplitude actually exceeding that of a Level Three pilot’s force field, his heart trembled.
He managed to squeeze a smile.
“These bandages, these medicines…” Clint’s eyes widened and instantly got up. “Thank you so much!” He bowed his head low. “If it weren’t for you, who knows what would have happened to my companion and I!”
Looking at the unabashed, pure grat.i.tude on Clint’s face, a flash of doubt appeared in the eyes of the man.
Was this guy not aware of the existence of the medicine?
“What happened to you guys? How come you’re here?” He tried to make himself smile more naturally and asked gently.
“My partner and I were seriously injured. There was no other way. When we arrived here, we were completely unconscious. We haven’t had water and food for two days.” Clint said with a wry smile. Through this journey of experience, the originally-somewhat-naïve-him had become a little serious now.
“It’s alright now that you’re fine. It’s alright.”
“I really can’t thank you enough”, Clint knew how important the medicine and water were in the radiation belt. His eyes were full of gratefulness. “If it weren’t for you, we would probably really have died here.”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Seeing you is like seeing my younger brother and sister.” When the man had confirmed that the person before him really did not seem to know anything at all, he was overjoyed. At the same time, he also began to play pretense.
“My name is Clint. She is Lonnie. And you are?”, Clint introduced himself.
“This is where the Underground Rebel Army is. I am a member of it. How did you come here?” the man asked.
“We came in with a girl named Lola. If it weren’t for her, we would already be…” Clint said helplessly. “She had previously said that she would go and take some medicine for us. She should be back soon. ”
“So, that’s how it is.” The man’s eyes flickered. “I’m Ning’en. I have lived here for four years. If you don’t have a place to go to, just come with me. At least I can lead you the way.” He was now completely certain that the two individuals in front of him were indeed unaware of the medicine and water on them. Otherwise, they would not have said that Lola had gone to get some medicine for them.
Although he was unclear of what was going on, it was impossible for him to give up such a large sum of wealth. He had to secure these two people first before anything else!
He also knew Lola, that child, who was relatively well-known in this area. She particularly liked helping people and could be considered as an unusual being among the radiation people. She was still willing to continue helping others no matter how much losses she had suffered.
“Really thank you so much!” Clint immediately rejoiced.
“Come with me. I will inform Lola”, the man smiled and his facial expression was much more natural.
*****************
Upon returning to Flying Batoid City, Garen went to the City Master’s material warehouse and exchanged some of the required radioactive materials with the little remaining drinking water. Although the main material of the biochemical pool was not found, other auxiliary materials were available and they were all prepared in many portions. After all, he was also afraid of failure. Novices naturally had to prepare more.
For the rest of the time, he either cultivated his Willpower or went to the hangar to look at how the repair of his Mech’s outer sh.e.l.l was progressing. It just needed a little covering of an outer layer sh.e.l.l. Regarding the Mastery Energy Ore inside, after the last incident, the people here were now keeping a strict watch. The City Master had sent a large group of miniature-Mech soldiers to stand guard and at the same time, changed a maintenance point for Garen, which belonged to his personal maintenance ground. This greatly enhanced the security.
n.o.body here knew what the Mastery Energy Ore was like. Without Garen unlocking the cabin himself, unless the cabin was forcibly broken into, no one could open the door to see what was on the inside. This was because Garen learned his lesson and had filled the inside with lots of yellow smoke gas, completely covering all of the Mastery Energy Ore. At the same time, the transparent cabin sh.e.l.l was painted black so that people could not see the things that were on the inside.
After taking such measures, adding to the protection of City Master, the safety factor rose greatly.
There would only be a few pilots flying through Flying Batoid City in a year. Under normal circ.u.mstances, no pilots were willing to deal with radiation people too much. Therefore, the last situation was really a result of Garen’s poor luck.
After a few days had pa.s.sed, the materials had been bought back, and no more new types of radiation materials had been found, only then did Garen decided to leave. Although he did not reach the final destination of this trip since he was intercepted and had to turn back halfway, the overall goal was still achieved and the material used to construct the Mech’s body had been found. The auxiliary materials for the Energy Machinist’s biochemical pool were also at hand. However, what was troublesome was that many of the materials for the biochemical pool had a shelf life. Some of them could only last a very short period of time, just a few days. Garen’s use of cold storage could only extend their shelf life to half a month.
After rearranging and checking the situation of the Mech’s body, he supplemented and traded some energy batteries. Finally, he took off and left Flying Batoid City, flying speedily towards the direction of Blackboard Region.
This time back, he must build his Exclusive Mech and create a biochemical pool. The way of Energy Machinist should be the best path for him to develop his Living Secret Technique.
It did not matter back then since he did not know the special nature of this profession before and could only take the single route of being a pilot. But now that he knew of it, naturally he could not deviate from the main theme.
Garen intended to create his own Exclusive Mech while carrying out the transformation of the biochemical pool, developing both sides together. If he could do it, maybe the course of Energy Machinist would be his main direction.
******************
Time flew by and in the flash of an eye, two years had already pa.s.sed.
The battle between Blackboard Region and White Light went into a stalemate. In relation to Maria Academy challenging Blackboard Academy, no one could actually fight. After twenty-three consecutive wins, the friction between the students of both academies began to intensify.
Later on, one of the Three Marshalls and One Star, Karfi, continuously went out to hunt and kill the members of White Light. Once, he actually caught a Maria Region pilot mixing with White Light. Naturally, a war broke out.
There were continuously large and small-scale battles between the two sides. Maria Region publicly supported White Light, but the confrontation of Inheriting-level was not many. It seemed that both sides were constantly acc.u.mulating and suppressing their own strength, like two spring fists, constantly pus.h.i.+ng back in order to erupt a powerful moment.
On the other side, Royal Region was involved with Central Academy of Mother Planet. All kinds of friends.h.i.+p exchange students’ activities and so on were constantly being done as if taking the stance of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.
But everyone knew that this region must also be the source of support behind White Light Organization.
Polar Region, on the other hand, had an outbreak of civil war. There was a frictional conflict between the royal family and the territorial and aristocratic alliances. A large-scale civil war broke out and it had been surging for a time.
It seemed that the peaceful state that had been going on for decades would once again revert back into war.
As for Garen, after he returned to the region, he never went out but instead put all his effort into creating his Exclusive Mech, not giving Fila any chance to retaliate. It was a calm and peaceful period for him.
