Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1263: Thinking and Recalling Like a Tide

Time returned to a few minutes ago.

Laura was lying on the bed, but she did not fall asleep. The faint light in the room shone on her, making her legs, which were revealed from the sheets, draw charming curves. Although the temperature in the Land of the Lost was low, the hotel room was very warm. Laura wore only a thin robe that was close to her body, revealing all the beautiful details. After a series of battles, she had already broken through to Level 26. In the past, she was already quite satisfied with this level. One had to know that within the Hulma Clan, Level 20 was already an expert, and more than twenty-five were revered as war gods.

But now, she felt that her strength wasn't enough, especially staying by Alan's side. Looking around, regardless of whether it was the Lost Realm or the Great Wasteland, none of the characters that could be placed on the stage were above Level 30. Even Green Light Town's Iron Hand was barely a Level 30 expert, even though Origin Energy was impure. Right now, Hubble was the highest ranked amongst them. However, after breaking through, Gatu was only Level 29. There was still a level gap between them and the real Level 30.

'"We have to work hard" Laura pressed her hand on her forehead and looked at the faint light on the ceiling. "Otherwise, our role would be getting smaller and smaller. In that case, he would ignore us sooner or later, right?"

She hadn't forgotten that there was a Trisley beside Alan. Alan brought her along and let the others stay in Green Light Town. Apart from considering that they needed time to disappear after advancing, they also needed to stabilize their Origin Energy. Wasn't it because their current strength was on the low side? A single Tracy's role would probably be equivalent to the sum of the four of them, or even a little more.

Especially if she was a sexy and beautiful woman, it would be more useful for men.

"Damn it." Laura pulled up the blanket and covered her head, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

She kicked off the quilt, put her hands on it, and slipped out of the bedroom. When she opened the door, Laura was stunned when she saw that it was Lim. Lim said expressionlessly, "There are a few people down there who want to know about the new owner of Green Light Town. They look like they can afford it. I don't know where they came from, but I'll leave them to you guys to deal with them. Hurry up if you want to fight or kill them. I still need to sleep."

After saying that, he twisted his head and left.

Laura narrowed her eyes and woke Belmord and Hubble up one by one.

At this moment, Hubble sat down beside the outsiders, his two large hands resting on the shoulders of the leader and the other. The few of them quickly exchanged glances and saw that Hubble had come with bad intentions. Each of them put his hand on the hilt of the beam gun under his clothes without a trace. At this moment, Hubble leaned forward slightly and said, "I don't want money. I only want your lives!"

The leader was shocked, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he smiled dryly and said, "Isn't this too domineering? We're just curious about the change of ownership of Green Light Town. Are we going to kill us like this?"

"That's right, I don't care if you're curious or have ulterior motives. In short, the news of Green Light Town should not be leaked out. Even if you're just curious, you can only admit that you're unlucky." Hubble laughed sinisterly.

At this time, the leader knew that there was no turning point, so he shouted, "Attack …"

At the end of his words, an enormous aura enveloped the entire arena. Under the influence of this Origin Energy, everything in the restaurant trembled. At this moment, Hubble was emitting a blood-red Origin Energy radiance from the inside out, dyeing the entire restaurant dark red. Under the suppression of his Origin Energy, not to mention counterattacking, even breathing became difficult for these outsiders with average strength.

"Now you want to make a move? It's too late. Since you guys are so stupid, there's no need to complain about paying for your own lives, is there?" Hubble stood up and gave them a fake slap.

A few outsiders, along with tables and chairs, seemed to be pressed down by an invisible boulder, and in an instant, they were squeezed into meat sauce, like mosquitoes that had been slapped to death on the wall. Hubble seemed to have done a trivial thing. He collected his origin energy and clapped his hands. "I have to owe the boss lady money again."

"It's fine. Our Lord Alan isn't short of money right now." Laura chuckled.

Hubble did not laugh as heartily as he used to. The people of Gatu seemed to be very worried and said, "Where is that kid?"

"You said it was white?" Laura looked outside the hotel and said, "I don't think I saw him the night before yesterday."

"After Young Master Alan left, Bai couldn't stay any longer. He left town after his advancement, as if he had gone to train alone." Belmord spread out his hands and said, "He seems to mind that Young Master did not bring him along. He said that he would not lose to that woman no matter what."

The woman was referring to Trisley, of course.

Hubble suddenly shouted loudly, his fists colliding with each other in front of his chest, creating a shockwave that was neither big nor small, blowing away the surrounding tables and chairs. He narrowed his eyes and said, "That kid is right. When did we become his burden? I'm not willing to admit it! I also need to train. At least, I need to break through Level 30!"

Laura stood up and smiled dangerously, "Big man, training alone is useless. Do you want to try and fight me?"

Hubble smiled sinisterly. "Have you thought it through? I won't show mercy. Don't blame me if I hurt you badly."

"With my words, how can you be so arrogant?" Belmord raised his hand and a black flame flew up from it.

"If that's the case, I won't be able to take much advantage of it. But it's better this way. We'll be evenly matched. Only then will we gain from our combat training." Hubble laughed and clapped his hands. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go. You better waste your time sleeping."

After returning to their rooms and bringing their equipment, the three of them left the hotel and headed in the direction of the town gate in the dark night. In the hotel dining room, Lim looked at the broken tables, chairs, and corpses on the ground. After five minutes, Lim roared, "Those thick-handed fellows have dirtied my dining room again. Damn it, can't you just break their necks? I have to take time to clean them up again if they want to be photographed like this!"

She walked over and picked up a few bags containing green crystals from the corpse. He opened it and saw that the green crystals inside had indeed shattered. Lim looked at the meat paste on the ground with a painful expression. "It's all your fault," he said hatefully. "If you ask for any information, it's not too late for me to die after I earn your money for a few days."

In the snowstorm, a green light swayed.

It was a stone pillar that stood tall on the snowy plains. Inside the stone cage, green glazed crystals were used as fuel to illuminate the dim space on the snowy plains. The green light was very penetrating. Even under the influence of the strange chaotic force field in the Land of the Lost, the radiant range of the green light could still reach tens of meters. This made it easy for travelers traveling on the snowy plains to identify it. Below the landmark, stones are piled up into the shape of an arrow, marking the direction to Bai Xicheng. In this way, the stone pillars that were erected every once in a while became an invisible path to and from the snowy plains.

Alan had just passed a stone pillar.

He and Trisley were sitting on a sleigh made of the dark red metal commonly seen in Agares. It was a horizontal sleigh. It has a wide and deep recumbent, two people drive, can take turns in the recumbent to rest. The bedroom was covered with cushions and bedding, as well as a backpack containing the necessities of travel, including clean water and medicines. The one pulling the sleigh was an exotic beast known as a snow beast. They were of different sizes and had very different appearances. Some looked like werewolf dogs, while others simply did not have limbs, but rather had a clump of feet. What distinguished them from other exotic beasts was the ability of snow beasts. They were born with affinity for ice and snow Origin Energy, and a faint blue light usually appeared beneath the bodies of these snow beasts. When they move on the snow plains, the blue light on their bodies freezes the soft snow, allowing snow beasts to easily slide over the ice faster than galloping horses.

That halo, the Barbarians called it the Ice and Snow Halo, was quite appropriate.

Under the dragging of these five snow beasts, the sleigh Allen and his companion were riding swiftly across the dim snowy plains, and behind the sleigh, there was even a wave of snow.

Due to the chaotic force field in the Land of the Lost, airships and other vehicles were unable to use this area. As a result, the snow plains were mostly sled or snowmobile, and rarely other tools were seen. This was Alan's first time riding a sleigh, and it was quite new. The main driver of the sleigh was Trisley. Not only did she have to ride the snow beasts, she also had to steer the direction of the sleigh. It seemed simple, but Alan had a grey head and a grey face when he first drove the sleigh, so he knew that there was a lot of learning in it.

However, after three days, he was already able to control it freely, so he took turns driving with Trisley.

Seeing that the hourglass hanging on one side of the bedroom had already turned to the night time zone, Allen poked his head out of the bedroom and said, "Find a place to rest. It's getting late."

"Alright, Master." Trisley said obediently. She used to call Blood Eye Boss, but now she called Ellen Master. It wasn't hard to tell the difference between the two titles. The boss said the two were only in an employment relationship, while the owner represented Trisley as Ellen's private property. The owner naturally had the right to dispose of the property at will, and that naturally included Trisley's touching body.

The last time she fought with Blood Eye, she almost chopped off her hand under the Blood Eye's pupil technique. Now there is a metal ring on both wrists, which is used to treat and fix wounds. Coupled with Trisley's own resilience, she was still unable to attack with all her might, but she was more than enough to drive a sleigh.

Alan pretended that he did not understand her hint and was too lazy to correct her address, so he rolled his eyes and sat back in the bedroom. "There seems to be no suitable place to rest," said Trisley, who was outside.

He looked out and saw the vast snowy plains. Occasionally, he could see some huge rocks, but he could not even see a larger hill. Sure enough, there was no place for him to rest like a shelter cave. Alan thought for a moment, then pointed to a huge boulder that was more than ten meters long and wide in the distance and said, "Go there."

"Where?" Trisley could not see what was suitable for the stone to rest and recuperate, at best it could only serve as a leeward. However, she did not object. She turned the wind rudder and let the snow beast pull the sleigh to the side of the boulder.

Ellen jumped down, looked at it, and pointed at the middle of the boulder. A pale white flame appeared at the tip of his finger. When the pale translucent flame landed on the boulder, the surface of the stone garment silently dissipated. The white flames continued to penetrate deeper into the boulder. After a moment, a space about three meters long and three meters wide was carved into the boulder. Ellen snapped his fingers and the secret flame disappeared without a sound. He shrugged and said, "It's not very spacious. Just make do."

"It's enough," Trisley said cheerfully.

She took out the cushion and backpack from the bedroom and walked into the man-made stone cave that Alan had used the secret flames to dissipate. Alan pulled the sleigh and snow beasts to the side of the cave. The snow beasts were not afraid of the cold. They could sleep around the sleigh and serve as a warning. At this moment, a dark red light screen appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was Trisley who activated the shield at the entrance to shield herself from the wind and snow.

She walked out from behind the light screen and fed them the food of the snow beasts. Seeing that she was fine, Alan drilled into the cave. Alan shook his head when he saw that the two cushions had been laid in the cave. Of course, he knew what Trisley was thinking. Previously, when he was sleeping at night, he had always removed his cushion. However, the space of the cave tonight was limited, so there was probably no way to remove it.

Trisley was a beauty, and Agares' woman was very much in line with human aesthetic standards. If it was any normal man, he would not reject a woman like Trisley. However, there were other women in Allen's heart who could not casually have sex with her. He also had his own persistence and bottom line.

Especially when he thought of how Lucy had left, he couldn't get along with Trisley, and there was also a Laura in Green Light Town. He pretended not to see the two cushions leaning against each other and took out the water and dry rations that Lim had prepared for them from his backpack. By this time, Trisley had already fed the snow beast. She walked in and smiled sweetly at Alan. Then, she took off her fur coat and revealed her stiff shorts. Her long legs flashed in front of Alan's eyes. The moving curves made Alan's breathing slow.

But that's all. Ellen threw her a portion of dry rations and sat down beside the cave and said, "Go to sleep after you finish your meal. I'll watch the night."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Tracy knew what he was thinking. Immediately, a nameless flame burst out and threw the dry rations onto the ground, screaming, "Why?"

Ellen sighed and put down the dry rations in his hand and looked at her, "What? Why?"

"You clearly know!" Trisley patted her chest and said, "Am I really that bad? I want to put myself in your bed again and again, but why do you keep rejecting me! Do you know that if I want to, men who want to sleep with me can be lined up in the wastelands! If I want to, I don't need to be an assassin at all, so naturally a man will raise me up!"

"But I don't want to live like that. I also have my pride. Not any man can get me. But you, but here with you, my pride is gone!" Trisley's chest rose and fell rapidly, and she felt bursts of stinging pain.

Perhaps at first, she only wanted to try something new, but after Alan rejected her, her mind had a subtle effect. He didn't fall in love with this man. Instead, he felt a sense of revenge and wanted to prove his charm. However, after witnessing Alan kill the Blood Eye with her own eyes, she felt a bit more admiration for this man. As for how she felt about the man in front of her now, she only knew that she was different from before.

She also knew that the pride and dignity that she normally regarded as incomparably important had been shattered by this man's indifference. Without that pride and dignity, it would be very difficult for a woman to survive in a place like the Great Wasteland until now. After all, it was a world where the weak preyed on the strong. A woman would have to pay many times more than a man to survive in this world.

Trisley had forgotten how many times she had almost compromised, but she had persevered, and yet, under Allen's indifference, those things had shattered into pieces.

As a result, some hot liquid slid across her face and Trisley wiped it off before she realized that it was her tears.

She had never been so weak in front of others.

Ellen was also surprised. In his impression, the Barbarians were basically synonymous with cunning and treachery. But at this moment, Trisley showed him something different. At this moment, Trisley was about to rush out of the hole angrily when she suddenly grabbed her hand. She turned around and Alan reached out to grab her.

"I'm sorry. Looks like I hurt you." Alan raised his head and said with a calm gaze, "You're very charming. It would be a lie if I said I wasn't tempted." But do you know how I got to Agares? As a human, why would I come here? You don't know, do you? All I can tell you is that I paid a great price to get here. And at that price, including being separated from a girl I love. "

"I'm sorry, here …" Ellen pointed to his chest. "He can't accept anyone else for the time being."

Tracy looked at him seriously and narrowed her eyes. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Do you think I need to lie?"

"Yes, too." Trisley sighed. "Well, I can accept it if that's the case. But you're the master. I'm supposed to be the vigil keeper. Go to sleep."

"No." Alan shook his head. "I can't sleep. I just happen to think of something."

Tracy didn't insist. She picked up the bag of dry food again. After she finished eating, she patted her hands and slept on the cushion. She wrapped herself in a quilt. After confirming that Alan couldn't see her, she patted her chest and said, "It was a close call. I almost couldn't get off the stage. But he looked like he had a story. Well, sooner or later, I'm going to dig it out."

After hearing Trisley's breathing. Alan heaved a sigh of relief. He threw a flame at the snow, and the flame turned from white to red. Even without any combustibles, the flames continued to burn in the snow. The scarlet flames reminded Ellen of something from a long time ago, when he was still a teenager and did not know Lucy's identity. However, on the death arena that year, during those nights, it was precisely this kind of flame that illuminated two equally young faces.

Unknowingly, it had already been many years. Alan thought of a lot of things, those happy, sad, helpless, surging into his heart one by one.

Tonight, her memories were like a tide.
