Chapter 209: Lucia Lopes’s Brother Situation (Part 1)

In the outskirts of the Monde Disaster Zone, a human camp had been established, and more people continued to arrive one after another.

Outside the camp, there was a towering wall, which is estimated to be about thirty meters high, even much higher than the walls in the city.

This was to prevent themutated creatures from escaping from the disaster zone and causing damage to the nearby towns.

In addition to the students from Heavenly Path University, there were also mercenaries and wild spirit cultivators from various places, as the Monde Disaster Zone was now a disaster zone that was open to public.

Following the others, Amalia disembarked from the floating vehicle.

The school’s instructors gave a few more instructions and then allowed everyone to move freely.

The people in the camp were already accustomed to this situation.

Heavenly Path University organized student expeditions every six months, sometimes in the Monde Disaster Zone and the other times in different disaster zones.

Many merchants seized this opportunity to promote and sell various products to the students, such as compasses, maps, and biological field guides, etc.

Naturally, their biological field guides were not as extensive as those in the Section A of the school library.

The students were not stupid and they were not easily be fooled by them.

However, maps and compasses were in high demand, both of them is an essential tools for navigating the disaster zone.

Javier Hermandez bought a map to share with Amalia and Lucia Lopes.

Both of them had good memories, and it only took a few minutes to memorize the details.

"Amalia, many people have already left. Shall we go as well?" Javier Hermandez packed up the map and asked.

"Yeah, let’s go." Amalia nodded.

Suddenly, Lucia Lopes said, "Wait, I want to inquire about some information. Can we leave in a while? It won’t take too long."

Amalia agreed.

Feeling grateful, Lucia Lopes gave her a thankful glance and then ran off to inquire about news related to her brother.

The Monde Disaster Zone had been explored for a long time, and there were many local experts.

If the information from her master was correct, someone might have seen her brother.

Lucia Lopes took about an hour, and by the time she returned, the other teams had already left, leaving only them.

"Okay, let’s go." Lucia Lopes returned with red eyes.

Unable to hold back, Javier Hermandez asked, "Lucia, is your brother okay?"

Lucia Lopes seemed to realize that she couldn’t hide the truth about her brother’s situation for much longer.

Since she had joined their team, some things needed to be disclosed in advance, which would also contribute to the team’s cohesion.

"I just found out that someone did see someone resembling my brother, but it’s uncertain if it was him. I can only try my luck.

Lucia Lopes pursed her lips, "My brother seems to be accompanied by a few individuals who appear to be pressuring him."

"Given the vastness of the Monde Disaster Zone, even if your brother is here, it’s quiet challenging if you want to find him," Amalia hit the key point.

"So, for now, I can only take it step by step. Don’t worry; I won’t delay you," Lucia Lopes paused and continued, "Those people who brought my brother might be here just for business, and they may not necessarily enter the Monde Disaster Zone. Maybe they will go to another disaster zone. If that’s the case, the probability of encountering my brother will be very low."

"There’s another disaster zone near the Monde Disaster Zone?" Amalia frowned.

Her understanding with disaster zones not as clear as the native of this world.

Lucia Lopes found it strange that she didn’t know about it, so she explained it to her, "The distribution of disaster zones also follows a certain patterns. Many higher-level disaster zones are often clustered together. The Monde Disaster Zone is a higher-level one, so the nearby disaster zones are also likely to be of higher levels, such as the Sweet Cherry City New Disaster zone that the seniors students are visiting now."

Amalia’s expression changed slightly.

The Sweet Cherry City’s disaster zone was where Kenny Lin was located.

What a coincidence.

"There are also some disaster zones that we haven’t heard of; they just haven’t been announced to the public yet, so the outside world is unaware about it," Lucia Lopes added.

Many freshmen in the first year were not clear about this, but her brother often went to disaster zones, so he knew some details about these things and usually he would share them with her.

"If your brother is being taken to the Sweet Cherry City’s disaster zone, what do you plan to do?" Amalia suddenly asked.

"Take it step by step," Lucia Lopes hesitated and said, "I’ll figure it out as we go."

"You won’t give up, right? When necessary, you’ll find a way to get to the Sweet Cherry City’s disaster zone," Amalia directly brought up what she was thinking.

"If there’s a chance," Lucia Lopes admitted without hesitation.

Since she had decided to be clear about it, she didn’t intend to conceal anything.

Amalia squinted her eyes, "How can you be sure that we’ll comply with your wishes?"

Lucia Lopes looked at her and hesitated before saying, "Not you all, just you. If, let’s say, there’s a way from the Monde Disaster Zone to the Sweet Cherry City’s disaster zone, it must be deep within the disaster zone. You are strong and also an Artificer. I don’t believe you would let go of this opportunity. Although many people have explored the Monde Disaster Zone, no one has been able to clearly describe the situation deep inside. Besides, that’s where the spiritual energy is the most concentrated. If you want to cultivate, it has to be there. Other teams may fear the creatures there, but I don’t think you will."

"But we won’t necessarily go just because you want to," Javier Hermandez blurted out.

"I know." They didn’t know each other before, and Lucia Lopes wasn’t foolish enough to join someone else’s team by using her brother’s situation to gain sympathy.
