With enough Nutritional Liquid, this was the basis of everything .
"I remember them," outside of the door, East Perrin repeated what Garen had asked for . Her memory was not bad and she could remember everything just by hearing once . Soon, she left and seemed to be going somewhere to find the materials .
However, as noises arose from the outside, Garen knew that he was wrong . Voices of exclamations were faintly heard .
"Chief has gone out!!"
"Why is she when it's so dangerous!?"
"Get back! Big sister!"
People shouted again and again but no response was heard from East Perrin .
Within ten minutes, she had returned .
"Thank God!"
"Chief, you can never run a risk again! You are our only hope!"
"Chief . . . !""Chief . . . "
Flustered voices followed, with the voice of East Perrin constantly apologizing .
Garen looked up, and suddenly, all the pain in his body disappeared without a trace as if it had never emerged before .
Time, 7:22 .
"Finally it has ended . . . " Garen let out a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat with both hands . He felt that there was a difference in the two imprints behind him .
He found a mirror and looked at himself . Under the control of his Willpower, a greatly altered Willpower imprint gradually appeared .
The original two imprints had now become a larger single unit . The original diamond shape had also turned into the form of a tiny wild wolf with a black body and green eyes . It didn't look too bad, even a bit ferocious .
"This is Energy Machine Imprint?" Garen tried again to calculate the stereoscopic computational model for the advancing of Level Three Energy Machinist . Sure enough, it was no ordinary task . It was almost incomparable to the previous straining effort .
"If there was enough time, I need five days to break through to Energy Machinist Level Three!" He made a simple calculation of the progress in his mind .
"Sure enough, having three times more the computing power is different . "
"The materials have been found!" The voice of East Perrin came from outside of the door, calm and exhausted .
Garen stood up and walked over to open the door . He looked at East Perrin, her hair scattered over her forehead . This agile and brave woman still had a straight face on . There was a thin trace of blood on her cheek . Clearly, the trip was not entirely smooth .
The tight gray dress she wore was snagged and had several holes . Blood marks were vaguely visible on the skin .
"Take me there," Garen exclaimed .
*****************
On the edge of the processing workshop at the rear of Leo City, a square pit was dug out in an open space . It was piled with a variety of messy materials, including roots, flowers, bloody flesh and bones .
Garen and East Perrin stood alone in front of the pit .
"What do you want to do?" East Perrin asked Garen . "Everything has been found for you . "
"There is still a lacking of one last thing," Garen said plainly .
"Still lacking!?" East Perrin's eyes widened . "Few of my brothers are dead because of these things, I myself almost died outside . Now you tell me that there is still something lacking?!"
"What's lacking cannot be found by you," Garen said plainly . "We're all in the same boat together now . If you die and I'll also die . What's there to be desperate about?"
East Perrin wiped her face .
"Alright, I'll calm down . Now there are a few waves of small-scale attacks out there . The number is about a dozen . But when I went out and looked through the telescope, Vulture City has basically been digested . The Predators inside seems to have begun to shift out and head over here . We don't have much time . "
"How much longer? An estimation?" Garen asked .
"No more than three days . Although the number of Predators has increased, their speed has also reduced . It takes five days to walk over here from Vulture City . Since the speed of the Predators are fast, it should take them about three days to journey here . The discrepancy would not be huge," East Perrin answered in a low voice .
"Just wait for it . There will be hope," Garen jumped down and began to pick up a piece of material by hand . Traces of Cold Radiation flashed in his hand from time to time, freezing the better part of the material to prevent it from deteriorating .
East Perrin did not know what to do and could only watch from the edge .
"Prepare a room for me, a bigger one," Garen ordered .
"Alright . "
Minutes and seconds ticked by and it was time for breakfast . Radiation people were accustomed to eating two meals a day, one about nine in the morning and another at six in the evening . However now, when the few women who were in-charged of meals served some food to eat, not many people had the appetite . There were children silently helping to refill the food and water .
Garen directly consumed the highly irradiated Nutritional Liquid . With a grab, blue threads emerged from his palm and directly absorbed the Nutritional Liquid, leaving only useless impurities behind .
Time passed quickly and noon soon arrived . Garen looked up to the sky from time to time as he was waiting for the drone sent out by Celine . If his luck was alright, perhaps with the distance from Polar Region to here, it would reach today .
East Perrin had already gone to defense . Now the atmosphere in the town was somewhat in despair . Without her taking command in the city, it was very likely that something catastrophic would happen .
Garen stayed here alone and quietly worked on the material in his hands .
Two large basins were placed beside each other and the parts he had dealt with were placed in them .
The Predators were gradually approaching . There were definitely Level Two Predators in the vast army . When Garen saw the end of Caster who had tried to escape, he knew that he had hit jackpot . A one in a million Level Two Predator was actually present here .
According to the data records, Level Two Predators could produce a Willpower Field-liked Mind Force, which could produce a substantial effect . This was the scene that everyone saw at that time . Caster was crushed by an invisible force and died without leaving a complete corpse behind .
"Now that there is Energy Machine Imprint and most of the materials are available, the only thing that is lacking is the Biochemical Pool . . . " Garen lifted up his head and looked at the gray-blue sky .
This was the fifteenth time he had looked to the sky today .
This time, the margin of the endless sky finally did not disappoint him . A blue dot was flying at high speed toward this side . Its outline looked like a drone .
Garen's face finally showed a smile . If it came any later, he probably would have to consider expanding one Soul Seed to reincarnate . . .
He quickly jumped out of the pit and ran to look for East Perrin to have her tell everyone not to shoot down the drone in the sky .
At this moment, as soon he ran out from the rear of the city, he realized that something was amiss .
There was no one in the houses of the city . Everyone seemed to be concentrated at the front and vague screams could be heard from that side .
From far, East Perrin saw Garen ran out .
"Be careful! There are Predators that have sneaked in! They are invisible!" She yelled .
Invisible Predators!!
Garen was surprised . This was a rare species among the Predators! How could there be any here?
He suddenly felt a deep chill coming behind him .
He spun around, gave a sidekick, and released cold air!
Three fluent and continuous moves emerged instantly .
Garen felt as is he had kicked something hard . With a loud boom, a large amount of cold air quickly covered the entire body of that object which he had kicked . The hoarfrost completely revealed its form .
This humanoid creature was kicked right in the head . It stumbled out a few steps, drowsily fell to the ground, and was swamped by the subsequent white air, directly freezing into a large piece of ice .
Garen looked at his trousers . There was blood on it . With his physical fitness, he was actually at a disadvantage in the direct confrontation just now . Moreover, he felt some pain in his bones where there were probably some fractures .
"This is the Invisible Predator?"
He took a close look at this thing . It had the same shape of a human but without hands . There were two stout, octopus-like tentacles at that place of its arms .
East Perrin also brought some people as she rushed over here . When she saw the ice on the ground, she sucked in a breath of cold air .
"This is the guy who had killed eight of my brothers and sisters!" She raised her hand and shot the ice to pieces .
Krak!
The whole piece of ice shattered into glass-like pieces .
Garen glanced behind East Perrin . There were only more than a dozen people left . It seemed that these were the remaining manpower of the entire city . There were also a few children and women who were covered in blood .
"What about the rest?"
"All dead . . . " East Perrin replied in a low voice . There was also blood on her face and it was unclear whether it was hers or someone else's .
"We have no idea when the Invisible Predator sneaked in . When we realized it, it had already killed half of the logistics personnel . It also killed a few men who had gone over to help," the old man Malone said palely .
At this time, the drone flew down from the sky and descended towards Garen .
Someone raised their gun and aimed it at the drone out of conditioned reflex .
"Don't shoot!" Garen quickly shouted .
This made everyone loosen up a little . They watched Garen reach out his hands to grab the small drone and took down a small fist-sized black box from it .
"Take care," he whispered the cipher to the black box .
Pap . The box opened automatically . The cover rose slowly, revealing a round thing wrapped in white silk .
Garen took out this thing and left the rest of it with East Perrin .
"This stuff can be used as an investigating drone . "
"What is that?!" East Perrin looked at the ball in his hand .
"This is hope!"
Garen answered without looking back and hurriedly ran towards the rear of the city .
Following the path between the houses in the city, he went straight back to the side of the pit . Garen lifted the material basin that he managed and walked into a large, empty stone house on the right .
This stone house just so happened to have a basement . It was the residence left by a man who had died in battle . He had no wife and children, so this place was assigned to Garen as a laboratory house .
Uncovering the fist-size thing in his hand, it was a black stone .
Garen gripped the stone with both of his hands and applied force to both sides of it .
Krak!
The stone was divided into two in a crisp sound and a piece of pale yellow soft meat fell out . It was caught by Garen .
"This is it! Mila Cells, Stoneheart Flesh . . . The main part of the Biochemical Pool!!" Garen knew that in the present plight, there finally was hope . . .
