(From MC's perspective)
Ti went by,
After a couple of days, the train reached the Trunulesia station. When the train ca to halt, all the passengers got alard. Everyone knows about this terrible place. Usually, the train won't halt at this place.
So everyone inside the train seed to be confused.
On the other hand, after seeing the terrified face of everyone. My face turned a bit solemn. I don't know whether everyone is overreacting or genuinely terrified.
Suddenly, I heard a small chuckle beside . He is none other than Elder Compton. A mont later, he said, "Let's go."
Hearing that, five of us got from our seats and prepared to leave.
On the other hand, the passengers in this particular compartnt seed to realise that people were leaving. Shock and disbelief were written on their face.
But no one dared to say anything. Because people who go this place were strong warriors. So nobody wants to offend.
Only after seeing the disappearing back of the last person, the passengers sighed in relief. In a few seconds, the train began to leave.
At the sa ti, after stepping out of the train. I looked around . This train station, I don't how to describe. Because there is not even a single person can be seen.
Apart from breezing wind, not a single person. This entire place is completely deserted. At this mont, the image of mountain Liz flashed before my eyes.
I sighed thinking about it. Even that remote place had one or two people walking around. It is also the sa case with insect forests. Many warriors entered the insect forest after knowing how dangerous is it.
But after seeing this place my mood has beco dull.
"Don't be discouraged," at this ti, I heard a voice behind .
Seeing that, I saw it was coming from Elder Compton.
In response, I nodded at him.
But suddenly I heard another mocking voice.
"This why I had urged not to bring unnecessary burdens with us," Erik Lloyd said in a mocking tone.
He doesn't care presence of Compton. He began to mock boldly.
Garrett Marsh stood beside him for support. He also wore a wide grin on his face. Like he is enjoying the situation.
A cold glint flashes into my eyes after hearing his words. This guy is making think twice. Earlier, I had decided to stay low-key.
But looking at this ongoing situation. I feel I need to think of so backup plans.
Suddenly, Compton coughed to break the atmosphere.
The next second, Compton's face turned serious as he thinks about the next plan.
"Alright, We need to cross this trunulesia forest before dawn," Compton said in a solemn tone.
When he brought up the topic, everyone's face becos serious.
On the other hand, I began to recall the information about the forest. Usually, during the dayti, there is no monster activity recorded. At day ti, the trunulesia forest is peaceful and calm.
But at night ti, the situation will change drastically. There will be many monsters.
...
Compton saw everyone is listening to him. He nodded and continued to say, "Everyone knows that the current trunulesia forest is not what used to be. There are so changes. So even in the dayti, we should not let down our guard."
"Don't worry leader, we will be cautious," the vice leader, Valerie Lyons replied.
After that one by one echoed their opinion. Even Erik also voices his opinion.
On the other hand, I saw Elder Compton turn towards .
He said, "Zack, you will stay in middle. Erik and Garrett will take care of the rear"
"I will lead from the front."
"And the rest of them will provide support to the team."
Hearing that, Valerie, Karla and Terrell nodded their heads in understanding.
Though Valerie is the vice leader of the team, she can't take care of the front attack. Because she is a water elent warrior.
So Compton decided to take care of that. On the other hand, Erik as an earth elental warrior will provide defensive support. At the sa ti, Garrett can also provide both offensive and defensive support.
Overall, it's a rare combination of teams. After giving instructions, Compton led everyone towards their old base.
The entire trunulesia forest is covered with weird energy due to mutation. So they need to wear full body gear before entering the forest.
While walking, Erik Llyod couldn't help but look at the back of the young man. He is deeply pondering about sothing. Seeing his state, his friend who is walking beside him decided to ask.
Garrett asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Hearing that, Erik Llyod replied with a smile, "I'm wondering, how to kill that brat."
Garrett wasn't surprised by the answer. He knows about Erik, Erik will take revenge for even small things.
But Garrett doesn't care about his behaviour. Because Erik had given nurous resources multiple tis. So Garrett knows if he takes care of that kid, Erik will give him so resources.
His eyes glead with a twinkle as he thought about it.
Garrett said in a husky voice, "Don't worry, everything will be over during nightti."
A quick glint flashed into Erik's eyes as he realised sothing. The nightti is the best ti for killing. Especially in this trunulesia forest.
But Erik found so trouble in this plan. Leader Compton already made things clear. He wants everyone to cross the forest before dawn.
So if this goes on, killing that kid would be impossible. Because Compton said that kid will not enter the ruins. If he wants to bury that kid, the only suitable place is trunulesia forest.
Also, he needs to do it during night ti. Either before entering the ruins or after entering the ruins. Erik also knows that delaying their current schedule will offend Compton.
So he can only think about removing that brat after they explored the ruin. Right now, he doesn't have any choice but to wait further.
Soon, everyone reached their old base. Which is located near the train station. The base is none other than the large-sized wooden building which was built a decade ago.
There are more than 6 rooms inside the building.
After entering the building, everyone began to wear full body armour in their respective rooms.
...
Inside one of the six rooms,
I dropped the brand new full-body gear on the bed. My eyes glead with twinkle whenever I observed that things. This model of full-body gear is very costly.
I heard Elder Compton has bought the sa model for everyone. To think he has so much passion for the ruins. He went on to buy the sa model for everyone.
But I also realised, Elder Compton is Elite Warrior. So his wealth is sothing which I cannot fathom.
Then I began to wear the full body armour. After wearing it, I instantly felt a terrible weight. Like a small mountain weighing on . Fortunately, I'm also a body cultivator. I can manage it sohow despite my low cultivation base.
My entire body is now covered with body armour. To allow visibility, the face helt has a shield in front of my eyes. I can view them. The face helt has a full face open and close function.
I couldn't help but sigh after seeing such a function. Suddenly, I thought about Crimson Hall's competition.
I don't know whether this armour will be allowed to use in that competition. If it is then it will be terrible, every rich kid from Tier-7 city will buy this for sure.
Then warriors from Tier-8 cities will face terrible challenges. I hope this thing will not be allowed. Then I thought about one more thing, I want to check my lightning elent.
When I extend my palms, the armour opened up a little. I can see my palm. In the next second, a small purple colour arc ford in my palms.
Seeing that, there is no problem. Then I tried to walk inside the room. This takes back to mory lane where I trained inside the gravity chamber. So my current situation is not worse.
My normal movents were wasn't affected. But things will be trickier when it cos to fighting. A strong determination rose in my heart. I will take this as a new training thod.
Then after making sure everything is ready, I walked out of the room casually.
On the other hand, the rest of them were waiting for Zack. When they saw him walking out casually, surprise-filled everyone's faces.
Garrett Marsh twitched, and he said, "This brat is a trainee warrior." Not only the rest of them also misunderstood, including Compton.
Erik Llyod frowned after seeing this." is he from Tier-7 city?" He thought to himself.
The reason for their misunderstanding was only warriors with trainee warrior cultivation base and above can move around effortlessly wearing that armour.
After realizing this, Compton sighed in relief. He doesn't have to worry about Zack's safety anymore. Zack can easily take care of mutated monsters of Class-3 level.
Right now he has only one problem. He hopes Erik won't cause an unnecessary problem during their journey.
