Chapter 141 - Underground Fortification (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Peter led the team away from the forgotten underground fortifications. Then, they followed Cinthya back to the underground fortifications that were very close to the Mechanical Holy City.
Barker had previously suspected that Cinthya had an unspeakable goal. However, without evidence, he couldn’t do anything to this woman.
“Find a place to sit down. I’ll get you some food first.”
After Cinthya finished speaking, she turned and entered the entrance. Then, a few women shouted from inside, as if they were unhappy with the strangers Cinthya had brought back.
Peter looked at Barker.
“Barker, have you always suspected this woman called Cinthya?”
Barker understood the God of War Peter’s question and quickly explained.
“God of War Peter, this Cinthya pretends to be close to me, but she definitely has other unspeakable motives.”
Peter stood up and left his seat. He wanted to check the area outside the underground fortifications. When he passed Barker, he warned him in a low voice.
“Be careful, that woman is hiding something!”
After saying that, Peter walked out of the underground fortifications. He came to the ground level and turned to look northwest.
There was a mountain range in the northwest. If they wanted to reach the place Donna had mentioned, they had to cross that mountain range.
The sun was about to set and night was coming. Peter walked through the dim wilderness and listened to the north wind whistling as it blew through the broken trees.
Just as Peter was about to go back, he seemed to have heard another strange sound from the wind. It was a little like the sound of an engine starting.
This made Peter realize that a team was rushing to the underground fortifications. However, he couldn’t guess what kind of team was rushing to the underground fortifications at this time of the year.
In order to rush back to the underground fortifications as soon as possible, Peter sped up. When he was about to reach the entrance of the underground fortifications, a group of people rushed out.
Peter saw that the few people who had rushed out were alcoholics from the underground fortifications. Meanwhile, behind them was Cinthya.
“Why did you leave the underground fortifications? It’s very dangerous after night falls.”
Cinthya looked at the God of War Peter reproachfully. This also revealed a detail. When this woman spoke, the drunkards in the underground fortifications used the cover of their coats and used their right hand to reach into their clothes.
Peter discovered this detail in time, which also confirmed his previous judgment. This forgotten underground fortification was filled with dangers.
Their current location was no longer within the range of the base city. If they walked further north, they would be closer to the Mechanical Holy City. Furthermore, the Virgin Mary lived in the Mechanical Holy City. In that case, did the people in these underground fortifications have anything to do with the Mechanical Holy City?
With Peter’s current strength, he was no longer afraid of most dangers. However, this was different from before. This time, among the team he led, only Barker was a Genetic General. As for the remaining three girls, the highest-leveled one had just achieved the level of a C-Grade Genetic Warrior.
In this team, Donna was the most vulnerable. After all, she was just a new student who had just entered the school. Furthermore, she had successfully extracted the gene-strengthening potion just before they set off.
Peter pretended to look casually at the entrance of the underground fortifications, but he was shouting Donna’s name.
“Donna, come with me to check the surroundings.”
Peter had discussed this with his teammates before setting off. As long as Peter called Donna out alone, the remaining two girls would find reasons to follow him. As for Barker, as a Genetic General, he could only make sure that the girls were safe later on.
When Bela and Elise heard the God of War Peter calling for Donna, they couldn’t help but feel nervous. After all, this was the first time they had left the Genetics College, and the first time they had left the range of the base city. The only person who could give them a sense of security was the God of War Peter.
Bela reacted the fastest. When she saw Donna walking by, she deliberately stuck out one foot to block the path that Donna had to pass.
