Chapter 300 We Face It Together
Chapter 300 We Face It Together
"you........"
People watched Alice warily. To them, this mysterious girl was beyond their comprehension; after all, she was someone whose origins were unknown, yet who possessed formidable strength...
The floating cannons were transmitted back to the armory in orbit via a protocol, while Alice just stood there, bewildered, as people watched her from this remote corner.
"Comrade Alice... Shall we go back immediately? Comrade Tuhachevsna is still waiting for you..."
"etc......."
Alice looked towards the mountains, and Graywind nodded: "Yes, this continent itself is not a site for cultural evolution experiments. The various facilities scattered across it have not been completely eliminated or hidden. On this planet, the quantum communication tower, built ten thousand years ago, was once a facility that maintained smooth communication between the planet and the entire galaxy."
"But... this facility, which once belonged to the entire Star River Miracle, has now become a breeding ground for calamity. This is not just their problem, but also ours."
"In other words...we need to face it together and solve it."
“That’s right, actually… it’s not difficult. The inscription system is enough to recompile the space it’s in… it’s just that the journey is arduous.”
"But we have each other, and we are united, so even the most difficult mountain to climb..."
Alice murmured to herself, and Graywind nodded: "It can also be defeated."
Alice nodded to the warriors and walked toward the hunters, who were exhausted and trying to figure out the situation. When they saw Alice coming, they looked a little reserved.
“This… Miss Alice is someone I rescued from the avalanche… We came to Autumn End Town together.”
The old hunter explained, and a middle-aged man extended his hand: "Wild Carter, leader of the Northern Louisiana Hunters Group, governor of Northern Louisiana, thank you for your help... Miss."
Governor Wilder put on the hat: "Since he brought them, I won't say much... Those people in the Lower Valley, they're yours, aren't they?"
Alice nodded. Beside her, Rafis had just made contact with the column and confirmed their location. Tuhachevsna urged them to return to the column as soon as possible, as the base on the shores of Lake Montana needed them back quickly.
Even within their ranks, internal struggles remained intense. The base camp faction and the westward expansion faction needed to unify their thinking, and they needed a unified and clear program to maintain the team's direction.
Alice nodded, but she knew that northern Louisiana also needed help.
"Sherry, this is Miss Alice."
The old hunter pulled Sherry along, and the young girl immediately took Alice's hand and gave her a big hug: "Old man, call me Sherry, you can call me Lily."
Shirley looked at the person before her—white hair, red eyes—these were not the hallmarks of an ordinary person. At least, such hair color and eyes…upon closer inspection…
"Alice, Alice de la Leyer, one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Front of West Colombia."
"Hmm? Alice Delalaye? Isn't that...? No! Is it really her? Although there are some minor differences, but..."
Sherry leaned in very close, while Alice's expression was slightly complicated. She nodded, "Okay, I am..."
"Huh?! Really?!"
With Sherry's starry eyes right in front of her, Alice had no choice but to turn her head away.
Why did you leave Amelia ten years ago?
Sheryl has read many books, but she has always had a question, and now she wants to satisfy her thirst for knowledge.
"that......."
"Alright, Sherry! We still have a lot to do! Some of the soldiers have gone to the main camp! What if they destroy the magic balancer—"
"Damn it! How could I have forgotten about that!"
Sherry exclaimed in surprise. She turned around and took the rifle that the old hunter handed her. The engraved Marlin lever-action rifle was like a work of art, and the magic pulse device fixed to it was her unique little invention.
How many hunters do we have left?
"They're all here... Our comrades died too many times in the battle to defend Autumn End Town..."
The governor sighed, “The state guard only has so many men. Northern Louisiana has never been a populous place. Only those with strong wills can survive in this harsh land.”
The monstrous creatures on the outer perimeter are just an appetizer; the real terror lies within... When one's own kind is no longer one's own kind, only willpower and the knowledge of survival can ultimately allow one to live.
Sherry looked at Alice and envied these outsiders. Their land was free from such dangers and unspeakable horrors.
But Alice couldn't comprehend this envy. Perhaps there was no such danger outside the harsh lands, but the bloodshed there was no less than here.
Outside, war raged, and here, too, there was no peace. But sometimes, the ways of the human heart are far more difficult to deal with than natural disasters. Alice sighed. She had been traveling this land for twenty or thirty years. When she first opened her eyes and set foot on this continent, she had only regarded it as a novel adventure. But now, looking back, she was trekking on a path that no one had ever imagined before.
She wanted many things, but no one before her could provide the answers to what she wanted.
“It’s difficult, isn’t it? Alice… Of course you can go back to your path and reach the base sooner.”
"Or perhaps you could help them solve their current problems first? After all, our revolution began with practice and with the people."
Graywind offered her advice; she had already calculated it. The hunters had no chance of reaching the finish line; the United States forces that had gone up the mountain numbered a company and were fully armed.
Even if they overcome numerous difficulties and resolve disputes, the colossal structure standing amidst those mountains is fraught with danger. Without help, they will never return, ultimately perishing in the valleys or having their bodies corrupted, becoming vanguards against the threat from another world.
She didn't tell Alice these things; it was her test, and her choice.
Alice looked towards the mountains and the hunters, their packs meager. She found Sherry, and even this kind-hearted girl said to her, "We may not return, Alice, but we have no time. Everything we cherish is now in danger. We—"
Before she could finish speaking, an explosion echoed through the valley, seemingly foreshadowing a worsening crisis. The hunters' eyes turned serious, and the governor summoned all the hunters who could still move.
"A storm is coming... Xie Na!"
Xie Na pulled out a magic terminal, and to her horror, she discovered that the lights symbolizing the power supply to the camp had dimmed.
"They sabotaged the main camp's power supply lines!"
The large camp, deep in the mountains, is the location of the largest interdimensional containment device set up by the hunters. Cutting off its function means that the means of containing the core contaminated area have failed.
Whether it was intentional or accidental, it indicates that the situation is heading towards danger.
"Alice, and the Central Column of the Front can also help you. What do you need?"
