When Wang Tong opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by bright lights and then heard a musical voice.
”You are finally awake.”
The bright lights slowly faded away; Wang Tong cracked a smile as he reckoned that he was inside a city. He realized that had been running in the wrong direction and eventually passed out because of dehydration. Someone must have saved him.
Wang Tong looked left and right without noting a pair of beautiful eyes watched him attentively. ”Don't worry; you are very safe here. What is your name? Where do you come from?”
”Wang Tong... I don't know. I was walking in the wasteland.”
Ye Zi furrowed her brows; the boy was lying. The wasteland was what was left after the nuclear bombardment. No one could traverse in that area without the protection of METAL. However, the earnestness in Wang Tong's eyes seemed to suggest that he had told the truth. The examining crew had checked Wang Tong, and he was clear. Since he was not a hybrid Zerg, the team had opened its arms and welcomed Wang Tong to its camp.
”Thank you for saving me.” Wang Tong said sincerely.
”My name is Ye Zi, field medic of team Battle Wolf. It was my duty to save any human here. You should say thank you to Lun Duo; he is the one who brought you here. ”
Wang Tong nodded blankly. ”Battle Wolf? Where am I?”
Wang Tong's confusion didn't surprise Ye Zi. It was a trying time for everyone on Mars; the order was toppled by chaos and destruction. Many people were forced to leave their home and seek protection in the cities controlled by House Lie. War had made the road not only dangerous, but also unfamiliar. Many people had lost their lives on the way. Even among those who had reached the city wall, only a small portion were guaranteed safety due to House Lie's insufficient resources. The imminent danger had spurred the rest of humanity to take up arms and form Militia units such as the Battle Wolf.
Team Battle wolf fought under the common banner of the Malunsa district. The team's excellent performance had quickly caught the attention of the Divine Master, and the latter deemed the team worthy of receiving field medics. Therefore, they sent Zi Ye to join the rank of the Battle Wolf. Zi Ye was not only responsible for mending the wounds of the injured, but she was also the instructor of new Mastery users.
It turned out that Gods didn't forsake the human entirely. Once a Zerg took control of a host body, the host would lose its ability to use Mastery due to the Zerg's inability to understand the arcane art. However, Zergs' most potent weapon was their adaptive ability. Therefore, no one could say for sure that human would forever hold onto the edge in Mastery.
All Mastery fighters were prepared to end their lives at capture in order to protect the last secret of the human race.
”Ye Zi, Ye Zi? Did that boy wake up?”
Tan Bu's voice approached the medic's room. As the door cracked open, a head poked through; Tan Bu's face gleamed as he gazed at the field medic.
”Come to meet your savior. This is Tan Bu, and the one behind him is Lun Duo.” Ye Zi said.
”Thank you!” Wang Tong announced.
”You are welcome!” Lun Duo spared Wang Tong a glance, and then his eyes returned to Zi Ye's beautiful face.
”Hey Furface, save your words. I need your actions. Come out when you feel better and see if you can help with anything around the camp. You need to contribute if you want to stay.”
Furface? Wang Tong rubbed his chin and found a handful of fuzzy beard. He suppressed a snicker and then said, ”I can do a lot of things.”
”Don't be a d*ck, Tan Bu. Hey, you, don't be scared of him; that's just him. We won't leave you alone out there. Is there anything you can do? If your mind is opened, I could assign you to the combat unit. But, it appears that you are not qualified. How about helping around the mechanic shop?”
”Phff....Whatever! If we recruit everyone, the Battle Wolf would soon be called Meek Sheep.”
Wang Tong's face lit up with glee and then replied, ”Yes, I can be a mechanic. I used to repair METAL.”
Silence suddenly fell into the room. Ye Zi said with disbelief, ”Seriously?”
”Of course! As long as I have the parts, I can repair just about any METAL.”
