It’s been over a month since David left Dragon City. The members of the Embers team once again found themselves missing David. In the past, David would visit them from time to time, but now a whole month had passed, and they still hadn’t seen him. This raised concerns among all of them, wondering if something had happened to David in the wasteland world.
“David is so powerful, he shouldn’t be in trouble, right?” Several of them were sitting in a room, and Arnold was the first to break the silence.
Listening to him, Charles nodded in agreement, saying, “You’re right. Our captain’s strength has already reached Escaping Dust, surpassing all the espers. He shouldn’t run into any trouble.”
At that moment, Fatso, who was drinking beer, seemed to remember something suddenly and asked Charles, “Charles, don’t you have the ability to see into the future through stargazing? Why don’t you try to see what’s happening with our captain right now?”
Hearing Fatso’s suggestion, everyone looked at Charles with anticipation, but Charles chuckled and explained, “The laws in the wasteland world are different from our world’s, so my abilities aren’t limited to the wasteland world.”
If he could really do that, he would have done it a long time ago. Unfortunately, even though he had reached level eleven, he couldn’t break the rules that separated the two worlds. This explanation left everyone in silence once again.
Finally, Duke couldn’t help but speak up, “Why don’t we go to the wasteland world today and find David? Let’s see if he’s encountered any trouble.”
This suggestion stirred something in everyone’s hearts. They had been unable to enter the wasteland world before due to their levels, but now, most of them had reached level eleven. Plus, with the advanced pronuclei David had given them, they could freely enter and exit the wasteland world.
However, David had always emphasized that they shouldn’t enter the wasteland world, so they hadn’t considered it before. Now, hearing Duke’s suggestion, they thought it might be a feasible plan.
Although everyone knew how powerful David was, once worry took root, it was hard to shake off. Moreover, the horrors of the wasteland world, as described by David, were entirely different from those of the apocalypse. 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴
If David had truly encountered some world-ending zombie creatures, it was not entirely impossible. Among the team members, Sally was the most worried. She hesitated for a moment after hearing Duke’s words but ultimately decided they had to go to the wasteland world. David was too important to her. He was not just a partner but also the key figure in their survival during the apocalypse.
Sally’s thoughts were echoed by every member of the Embers team. David held an irreplaceable place in their hearts, so their current concerns were by no means baseless.
“In my opinion, we should pay a visit to the wasteland world. If David has indeed encountered danger, our presence might be able to help him. Besides, we are a team, and we can’t afford to let any of our members face adversity alone. David is our captain, and without him, we would have likely become skeletons by now,” Sally’s words left everyone feeling deeply moved.
“Exactly! In this world, David is not only the closest but also the most respected person to them. If he’s really in trouble, what’s the point of us living comfortably here every day?”
“Right! David is the one who gave me a second chance at life. We must ensure his safety!”
“Let’s do it! We’re going now!”
“If anything dares to harm our captain, I’ll be the first to devour it!”
As they spoke excitedly, they unanimously decided to enter the wasteland world today to find David. Just as they were preparing to leave, a figure suddenly walked over from the corner, accompanied by a mocking voice, “I’m really touched by your camaraderie! I never expected you all to be such loyal and righteous folks!”
When this voice echoed in the room, it immediately caught everyone’s attention. They turned to look at the corner, where the voice had originated.
“Who’s there?” Arnold revealed his Wolverine Claws, furrowing his brow and asking coldly. Others also recognized the potential danger and assumed combat stances. Fatso even dropped his beer and drew the large bone club from his waist.
“Hehe, you don’t need to know who I am.” The speaker continued to move forward, emerging from the shadows into plain view. It turned out to be Edmund.
The current Edmund looked at each member of the Embers team with disdain and amusement. The team members were filled with confusion and shock, as they hadn’t sensed his arrival at all. It was as if he were a ghost who had silently bypassed their senses, only to appear before them. Moreover, his aura was extremely eerie and peculiar.
“If David knew how loyal and courageous his subordinates are, he’d be deeply moved,” Edmund said as he paced casually.
Sally, upon hearing that the stranger knew David, became even more nervous. She quickly asked, “You know David?” The others also stared intently at Edmund, awaiting his response.
Edmund nodded with a sly smile. “Not only do I know him, we should be quite familiar with each other by now.” Edmund couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of David.
This answer only increased Sally’s anxiety. She hadn’t expected this stranger, who had suddenly appeared, to know David. So, she gleaned some information—that he hailed from the wasteland world.
“So, what’s your purpose for coming to Dragon City today?” Charles asked sternly, sensing the strange aura emanating from the stranger. He felt that this individual was far from being a good person. He even faintly detected a hint of hostility in the stranger’s words.
“I came here today for a purpose,” Edmund responded, his voice laced with sarcasm. He casually picked up a bottle of red wine from the table, uncorked it, and brought it to his nose to inhale the aroma. After savoring it for a while, he finally put the wine bottle down and turned to the members of the Embers team. “My purpose today is to take you to the wasteland world.”
