Going to the doctor's.
The medical room smells faintly of disinfectant.Lucas stood beside the examination bed, watching Henry swing his legs back and forth.He noticed that little boy doesn't look particularly nervous, playing with his yellow transformer toy.Although Lucas got him more toys from the trip to City W, he seems to have a keen preference for this yellow transformer.Since they needed to leave to clear the dungeons soon, Lucas couldn't delay taking him to see a doctor.He needed to make sure that his mental health was fine.Lucas had also been planning on registering him for kindergarten, but the base hadn't developed to the stage where one was opened yet.The doctor crouched in front of Henry, smiling gently."What's your name?"He glanced at Lucas, and Lucas gave him an encouraging nod. Only then did the little boy open his mouth."Henry"The doctor nodded approvingly before glancing at Lucas."How long has he been with you?""About a week.""A week?"Lucas nodded. His words were ambiguous. "
Asking about family.
"Commander Gerald, please hold on. I would like to ask you about something." Lucas hurriedly caught up with the military commander just before he slipped out of the conference room."A group should have arrived with a helicopter on the first day. Do you know where they are now?" Although he already knew the answer, Lucas wanted to confirm something."They seemed to be waiting for someone. The young lady stated that she was waiting for a family member; that should be you?" Commander Gerald's eyes flashed with surprise, momentarily taken aback.He hadn't thought Lucas had a deep background.He remembered the two young women who had arrived by helicopter on the first day. Their bearing alone had suggested they came from a family of considerable wealth and influence.Whatever their family background was, it certainly wasn't ordinary."Somehow," Lucas replied ambiguously.Hearing him confirm it, Commander Gerald couldn't help but give him another thorough look.It couldn't be that Lucas wa
Team captain Lucas.
A heavy, oppressive pressure hung over the conference room.A long rectangular table occupied the center of the room, surrounded by several military and civil officers.At the head sat Commander Theodore; next to him was the civilian affairs director, William Park.A slim man with a scholarly look. His features were refined rather than imposing, with a calm pair of dark eyes that seemed to miss very little.Base C maintained a two-branch administrative structure. The military handled defense, combat, patrols, and ability users.The civilian administration handled everything that kept thousands of ordinary survivors alive. Food distribution, housing, medical supplies, trade, agriculture, sanitation, construction, and the countless other things that soldiers couldn't manage alone.It was an arrangement born out of necessity.Both sides also existed to keep each other in check.And judging by the number of people in this room, this dungeon deal was important enough to involve both side
Lucas isn't interested in sharing.
At the top of the stairs, Lucas walked a few more steps, and he arrived at the open terrace.The terrace was not only spacious but also a spot that received a lot of sunlight, unlike the cold and damn storage room where he planted his lettuce in his past life.Among the haul from city W are two sacks containing a variety of seeds and one full of seedlings, and the last sack is a bag of fertilized soil.Lucas wasn't sure if the soil around the villa would have been contaminated by the mist, so he had grabbed some soil just in case.He gathered different plastic containers, placing them according to the sizes.The seedlings that were already the size of a thumb were given bigger containers to facilitate their growth, while the seedlings could be planted in one big container and transplanted later.For the moment Lucas only planned to plant a few types of vegetables.To him are tomatoes, peppers, green onions, lettuce, water spinach, and radish. They were compact, fast-growing, and produ
Setting up the villa.
"About the deal…I think we should take it." Gabriel looked at me with thoughtful eyes.What are we? Who is the we? Lucas gave him a hateful look.He couldn’t wait to get away from the latter, and accepting this deal would only tie them together."Were you not interested in gaining points? This will be faster than taking those out of base mission." Gabriel said to me.That is true, but…Lucas was reluctant.His plan to form a guide of his own and live a peaceful life was drifting farther and farther.Maya glanced between the two of them without saying a word.Lucas finally remembered her. "What do you plan on doing after this?"He had previously planned to recruit her, but Gabriel was obviously faster.So hateful."I don’t know for now." Maya opened her mouth and then shook her head.Lucas caught her throwing a quick glance at Gabriel. As though she would simply fall in line with whatever he decided.Really so hateful."Ask Zoe and Jordan and see what they think." Gabriel suddenly said
A deal with base C authorities.
The three people that left with the lieutenant were Lucas, Gabriel, and Maya.Lucas was the one who brought the case, Maya was directly involved with it, and Gabriel…Lucas didn't know why he was tagging along.He looked at Maya and Gabriel with a thoughtful expression.Maya walked half a step behind the man, giving off the feeling of a subordinate.Lucas didn't know what happened during the short time he didn't see them, but there seemed to be a shift in their relationship.The military operation building was the same as the last time they came.Commander Gerald sat behind the desk. When they entered, he was putting away a black file, a slight frown etched on his face.It was barely visible, but Lucas keenly sensed that he was troubled.“Take a seat.”There were two vacant chairs.Gabriel casually took one.Lucas offered the other one to Maya, but she quietly refused, so he sat down.“About the issue from last time, Hippo and the rest of his accomplices have been detained.
