FreeNovelChapter 692 The man spotted Wilbur too. He looked at Wilbur warily and said, "Mind your own business, or you will die." He then waved his arm and the trio got into their UTVs before driving off.
"My gun!" Isabella shouted.
Wilbur frowned. "Don't worry. We will see them again." "What?" She asked.
Wilbur sighed. "Isn't it obvious? They are here for the ruins as well. We will see them again once we reach the ruins." Isabella's expression darkened.
She turned around and picked up the satellite phone. Shortly after, she set it down and gazed up at the sky.
Although the sandstorm had ceased, the sky above was still shrouded in dense
yellow clouds, preventing sunlight from penetrating through.
"There's no signal," she said and sighed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilbur chuckled. "Let's walk, then." She glanced at the compass she wore around her wrist and said, "We're heading north. The ruins are roughly 300 kilometers away. We might need a day to get there." "Let's hurry then," Wilbur said.
Isabella opened the back trunk of the bar and moved all the food and water out.
"Let's take all of these." Wilbur simply picked them up and threw them into the demiplane.
As she watched everything disappearing in Wilbur's hand, Isabella's eyes widened as though she had seen a ghost.
Wilbur smiled. "It's the latest technology in the Department of Paranormal
Research and Defense. It's too advanced for me to showcase how it works." After a long pause, Isabella turned and started marching forward.
Wilbur turned to Ryder. "What a stubborn girl." Ryder remained quiet and followed Isabella's steps.
Wilbur shook his head at how dull it was to be on a mission with these two people.
Along the way, the trio rarely spoke except for when they stopped to eat.
No one knew what happened to the ruins, and there were countless secrets awaiting them.
Ryder was never a talkative man, and Isabella seemed to be upset with Wilbur, so she remained quiet as well.
""Say, isn't this boring?" Wilbur whined.
He did not particularly enjoy small talk but wanted to resolve his differences with Isabella. After all, they were now colleagues and it would not be ideal for them to turn on each other.
"You think I'm nosy, right?" Isabella asked coldly.
"That's right," Wilbur said frankly.
Isabella continued walking and said, "If you had seen all our fellow comrades who fell on the battlefield, you'd know why I'm nosy. Instead, you abused your title at the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense and mocked others." "Well, I guess I didn't consider that.
Sorry," he said.
Wilbur apologized sincerely as he knew how dangerous these missions could be for ordinary soldiers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBattles had always been rough and merciless, so countless soldiers perished
each year. Hence, it was understandable for Isabella to be wary of everything around her.
Isabella's expression eased upon hearing his apology.
"We need to hurry. If those three people are heading for the ruins as well, we are too far behind," she said.
"Yeah. We aren't just going there for a treasure hunt, though. So many people have gone missing there. I assume it's going to be quite dangerous and challenging for one to get inside," Wilbur commented.
Isabella nodded in agreement and the three picked up their pace.
At four in the afternoon, they arrived at a basin.
Isabella glanced at the compass and compared the map in her hands with a frown. "This should be the spot. Where
isn't there anything here?" "There is something." Wilbur pointed at a tent not far away.
It was a military tent specifically made for deserts, so one may not notice it at first glance.
Behind the tent were the UTVs that were covered.
"That's them. Let's head over there," Isabella said.
