Chapter 419 Arrived Back To The City
(From MC's perspective)
Mutated Forest,
After searching for one hour, elder Compton was convinced that two members had died. He doesn't plan on wasting any more time. So we immediately left the base camp and entered the mutated forest.
It will take some time to exit the mutated forest. But unlike when we came, this time I'm not worried about the sudden appearance of monsters.
A few hours later,
While moving through the mutated forest, we came across many monsters including a few Class 3. But both Elder Compton and I dealt with a lot of monsters.
The rest of the minions were dealt with by the other three warriors on the team.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Several days later,
We arrived back at Baguva City. It feels surreal to me. Things happened to me fast. Especially after becoming an Elite Warrior.
A lot of unnecessary worries in my heart were completely swept away. I feel a lot more secure and at ease. Even on our backs, the mutated forest didn't pose much threat to us.
All of this is possible because of strength. If it was earlier, I would be in a constant state of alertness. But this time I feel a lot more relaxed.
Soon we reached Elder Compton's office.
After stepping out of the air car, we walked back to the massive building.
On the way, I noticed some changes in Valerie Lyons, Kara Robles, and Terrell Boyd. They seem to maintain some distance from me.
Is it because of my strength? A quick glint flashed in my eyes. I have a feeling that it must be due to the disappearance of two team members that caused them to behave strangely.
Then shaking my head, I followed Elder Compton back to his office.
Creak
The door opened. After stepping inside everyone sat on the sofa.
Click!
I removed the armor helmet from my head and breathed the fresh air after a long time.
Following my movements the rest of them also removed their armor suit.
"Finally we came from that terrible place," Kara Robles said with a sigh.
Valerie Lyons feels some disappointment. They started the research trip with a lot of expectations. But in the end, the not only trip turned out to be in vain. They even lost two members.
While Terrell Boyd is keeping his silence. Right now he wants to go back to his place. But this was not possible before the leader Compton opened his mouth.
After removing the armor helmet, he placed it on a desk. He observed the expressions of everyone.
Looking at them he solemnly added, "Soon the changes in the mutated forest will attract everyone's attention."
"Eventually, people will know that we are the last research team who went there."
"So I'm going to create a report just in case anyone asks me in the future, " he added further.
His words didn't raise any objections. So none of them were refuted. Seeing that he decided to add one more thing.
Before that, his gaze fell on Zack. Compton thinks it is necessary to hide Zack's power in a report. Because in a few weeks the Crimson Hall's match will start.
If people came to know about Zack's strength, then he will eventually be targeted by many.
Thinking about it, a dignified expression appeared on his face. He said, "One more thing, Valerie, Kara, and Terrell."
Hearing the name, three of them straightened their backs. Valerie already guessed something in her mind.
"Three of you should forget about Zack hereafter. He didn't participate in our research trip," Compton said in a solemn tone.
Three of their expressions changed drastically when they heard that.
On the other hand, a quick glint flashed in my eyes. I had never expected Elder Compton to come up with this plan.
If people learn about me, it would raise a lot of eyebrows. Though I'm not weak as before, it's still a good precautionary method.
At the same time, Valerie Lyons quickly understands the meaning behind Compton's words.
Even Kara and Terrell were not stupid either. Then three of them agreed not to reveal anything about Zack Lockwood.
Kara felt a little disappointed in her heart. They have yet to ask why Zack didn't reveal his strength earlier. But the leader Compton is doing everything in favor of Zack.
"Anyway people are big. It is not good to offend them," She sighed in her heart.
Terrell Boyd already made up his mind to forget about Zack. He had never seen such a young Elite powerhouse in his life.
The Elite warriors are already considered giants in Tier-8 cities. But Zack has achieved such a feat at a young age. It made him doubt his worldview.
Ricardo Compton was satisfied with everyone's expression. Then after some discussion three of them left the building leaving behind Compton and Zack in the room.
"Alright Zack, when do you want to leave?" Ricardo Compton asked. Their trip ended abruptly. And they came earlier than the scheduled plan.
So he doesn't know what is going on inside Zack's mind.
Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows. There are a lot of things to do. Especially, I want to check the healing scripture.
On the other hand, Compton said, "Alright, you can take a rest in Villa. We will talk about this later."
I nodded my head in response. Then I walked out of the building and booked the air cab to go back to the villa.
A few minutes later,
A giant four-wheeler appeared in front of me. Seeing that I hopped inside the cab and told the destination to the driver.
The air cab rose from the ground and moved towards the destination the next second.
On the way, the cab driver appeared to a stranger. I easily thought of his thoughts. Because from time to time, he glanced at my armor suit.
Shaking my head, I closed my eyes.
20 minutes later,
The air cab slowly landed in front of the gated community. After paying the cab fees, I stepped out and walked towards the Villa.
After entering my room. I removed the full-body armor completely. Feeling the weight removed from my body, I feel a lot less.
"Phew," I exhaled in relief. After dropping the armor suit, I went to take a long bath.
Several minutes later,
I changed into my comfortable clothes before lying down in bed. Suddenly a wave of tiredness washed over me. Without realizing it, I fell asleep.
I woke up after a few hours. Being Elite level has its perks. I feel quite energetic. It's just that I was mentally exhausted before.
After feeling good, I sat up cross-legged on the bed. Then I took the healing scripture from my storage ring.
Seeing the scripture, a quick glint flashed in my eyes. Looking at the scripture, the terrible laboratory comes to my mind.
I suspect the owner of the laboratory might be a healing warrior. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the origin of the red liquid and the healing scripture.
After retracting my thoughts, I finally glanced at the healing scripture. I slowly opened the piece of cloth to look at it. The piece of cloth looked empty.
After seeing there are no words inside. I can confirm now that the green light in my consciousness is complete healing scripture.
I placed the cloth back in my storage ring. Then I closed my eyes and started to investigate the green light in my consciousness.
Finally, I noticed a change in my consciousness. The green color light is located between the lightning element rune and the blood element rune.
This weird pattern attracted my attention. Then I slowly started to understand the green color light.
When I concentrate more, the green color light becomes clear. In that place, I saw a triangle-shaped rune.
Then the words of healing scripture appeared in my mind.
Unconsciously, I started to run the healing method in my body. Immediately, I feel some change inside of me.
I noticed deep green energy energies were absorbed by me from the surroundings. Seeing that my lips curved into a gentle arc. I repeated the process.
Slowly, the green energies gathered inside my body. And I immerse myself in cultivation.
...
Back in the office,
Ricardo Compton after finishing some work. He immediately called his good friend Thornton.
When the call is connected. A tired voice reached his ears.
"Are you back?"
Hearing that, Compton felt strange. He doesn't know how to explain the events that happened in the mutated forest.
"Yeah, we came back from our expedition. What about you?"
"Are you coming back to receive Zack?"
Thornton asked back in a calm tone.
The atmosphere turned quiet for a moment.
Suddenly,
"What about Zack?"
"Is he alright?" Thornton asked back with some excitement.
Compton looked dumbfounded. What could go wrong with Elite Warrior? He revealed a wry smile on his face.
"Zack is fine," Compton finally said.
"Good" "Good"
Thornton uttered well twice.
"Alright Compton, I'm going to come. I'll leave tomorrow morning right away," Thornton said.
Compton nodded his head in understanding.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you here," Compton replied with a simple. After hanging up the call, he decided to go home as well.
