Chapter 757 - 759: “…”
"Yes." Sophia chuckled.
It should be the live that Ruby really wanted.
'How about yourself?'
Thinking that she would have to walk out of City A Base to unknown destination and possibly also face a lot of dangers out there, Sophia felt somewhat at loss for a moment.
But the next moment, she composed herself.
"Take care, Mel."
"You too, Soph."
The two girls gave a final parting hugs and then the two siblings left City A Base. Amelia, Ruben, and Arnold were standing beside the gate, watching the two people left amidst the other people who were busy cleaning up the magic beasts.
"Would they be fine to leave during this period of time?" Amelia suddenly asked.
"If you're worried about the magic beasts' matter, then you don't have to. Riya had already sealed the two cracks near City A Base and the number of cracks are limited. From now on, it's impossible for these magic beasts to appear just anywhere all over the Green Planet," Ruben explained calmly.
"Huh? Then how can they practice?" Amelia was stunned.
"Even though the magic beasts will not appear again in various areas, those who had appeared before might have already formed their nest." Ruben pursed his lips.
Continent Z is really big and there were many places that the officials couldn't reach. Who knows how many of such 'nest' has been formed all over the world.
Various ecosystem related to the magic beasts have been formed and there were many types of magic beasts living around it.
Ruben had learned that the officials planned to send soldiers to survey it some time ago.
But with the appearance of the second earthquake and various rank 7 returnees… it seemed that this would be impossible to do. He didn't know whether they would cancel the plan altogether or to do it later on after the returnees have made the arrangement.
Anyway, with only 12 cracks all over the world… it should be easier for the officials to handle it now, right?
Ruben was not entirely sure.
After all, the number of people who managed to survive from the magic beasts were limited and many of them died in the violent magic beasts tide over and over again. So many of them didn't manage to survive and the military and officials' control over some areas were a bit weaker.
It hadn't improved much because they focused on the nearby areas.
Even if there were also military stationed there, the situation was not very optimistic and magic beasts could grew more rampart.
Moreover…
Ruben knew very well that the situation in other continents were also not very good right now, especially with so many magic beasts coming. Some returnees even blatantly split up from the officials, tearing off the peaceful facade that they had maintained in the past year or two.
It was really…
"Oh…" Amelia nodded absentmindedly.
"Alright, I have to go back to work. Miss Amelia, please don't stay close to the magicians from the Magic Association for the time being," Ruben reminded. Mr. Jones was dissatisfied with the magicians from the Magic Association because of their higher ups' behavior.
Many magicians from the Magic Association were innocent, but it would be better if they didn't have any emotional entanglement with these people.
"Huh? I have never been close to them!" Amelia said righteously and then frowned. "What did they do again?"
The magicians from the Magic Association were doing their job well not long ago when dealing with the magic beasts. After all, Amelia could still hear their powerful magic spells even from a distance.
To be honest Amelia sometimes wondered if the magic beasts' aesthetic matched these magicians from the Magic Association.
Otherwise, why are these magic beasts not be disgusted to death first?
Isn't it unpleasant to watch the magicians from the Magic Association sang strange tune and then danced around on the battlefield…?
"It's nothing much, Miss Amelia."
"Don't call me Miss! It sounds strange!"
"Hahaha!"
Ruben laughed out loud and ran away while Amelia puffed her cheek in anger. She didn't understand why Ruben was so bad today! Ahh, he kept on making her really angry.
"Let's help them to clean up and then took our share of magic beasts," Arnold said, stopping Amelia from sulking more.
"You're smiling, aren't you?" Amelia narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"How could it be?" Arnold refuted but there was a hint of smile in his eyes when he looked at Amelia in front of him.
She's so cute and adorable.
How could he not want to treasure and care for her?
"You're definitely laughing at me!" Amelia was annoyed and stormed off to the officers. Hmph, she will ignore him for an hour today…
Uh, is it a bit too long?
Then half an hour…
"I'll apologize, then princess Mel?" Arnold asked in gentle and coaxing tone.
Seeing his handsome face up close, Amelia puffed her cheek and turned to look at the side while thinking in her mind, '5 minutes would be enough.'
The red ears made Arnold felt a bit itchy, but they were in public. Putting aside the matter of public decency, Amelia is still angry at him, so he would have to coax her before he could hug the girl.
The officer who was in charge of the tally today: "…"
Brother, can't you come forward and stop flirting over there?
He felt that he was incredibly unlucky.
Not only did he have to face strong magic beasts today, he also have to be fed with dog food during his work.
It's really unlucky.
…
Samuel and Riya's side
Because of the magic beasts' problem, neither Samuel or Riya had heard anything from City A Base.
After all, they had to focus on their work and Mr. Jones would not contact either one of the two of them unless it was absolutely necessary.
He still has this knowledge.
Besides, both of them were currently resting in the helicopter and was waiting for the pilot to bring them back to City A Base.
