Runemaster in the Last Days

"…I think you better not say that in front of others." Riya thought about the situation in City B Base and then at their own City A Base. Even though the people in City A Base would still be given chances to live well as long as they worked hard, there was a limit to that.

So hearing that someone treated their dogs so well…

It would be hard for Amelia not to be beaten up.

Amelia nodded hurriedly. "I know. I will only say this in front of you and my family members. I don't want to be beaten up by others yet."

"…Yet?"

"Eh, I speak wrongly!"

The two girls were joking around but the situation on the other side was not very good. Samuel was also looking at these researchers with headache.

Because he knew that these researchers did have reasons.

The problem is…

It's too dangerous.

"The researchers are too weak and if you want to, we can collect samples for you to bring back," the leader said slowly.

"No. What I need to see is the change in the environment and whether the air and land situation will change along the way," one of the researchers who was responsible to measure the air humidity, concentration, and so on refused.

This crack could be said to be a brand new place and these researchers were all eager to be the first one to find something.

As long as they could explore more, get enough data, they might be able to create an achievement that was far from other people in the previous era. So everyone was very eager to move.

"It's not that easy…"

The researchers and the leader was arguing with each other.

It could be seen that they could not reach an agreement.

"Professor, do you also want to go deeper?" Ruby asked as she looked at her professor worriedly. They were biologist and aside from inspecting these magic beasts, they were also looking for the bacteria and so on.

Many tests could only be done in the secured lab, so they only collected samples to be brought back.

The rest were testing the magic beasts.

"There's no need to put ourselves in danger." Professor Brown shook his head. He also knew that while it's tempting to go on their own to get the samples and do research, but they only have one lives.

With his weak physique, Professor Brown really couldn't think that he would be able to survive if the magic beasts attacked. So rather than going on their own, it would be better for him to stay in the safe area and waited for the soldiers to bring the samples.

Besides, Ruby somehow managed to get more samples.

Professor Brown guessed that Ruby's friends might have helped her but he said nothing.

It was her capability to be able to do that and he would not be so shameless to take over his student's credit.

"Then…"

"But you can go."

Ruby was stunned.

Professor Brown smiled. "I think that you have good friends who can allow you to take a look at the situation upfront. If you have the chance to do on site research, why not?"

Hearing what the professor said, Ruby felt touched. There were professors who were truly kind and fully devoted themselves to research. They would not be moved by momentary benefits and knew what was important.

Moreover, they were people who were not greedy and had conscience.

When Ruby first came, she was a bit worried.

But the people in the research institute were all very good. Professor Brown is her mentor but he also allowed her to do her own research and crated her own achievement if she was given the chance.

Such a person is really kind and Ruby felt lucky to be assigned to Professor Brown.

"Thank you very much, Professor Brown." Ruby decided that if the researchers were to go deeper, she would ask Riya for help. Of course, she would ask if Riya had something she wanted in return.

After all, this kind of favor was really hard to ask if it was given for nothing.

"Do you want anything?" Ruby asked carefully.

Professor Brown let out a cheerful laugh. "Just get me a few more samples so that I can do some research too."

"Yes, Professor!"

…

Riya, who had finished joking around with Amelia, looked in Ruby's direction. They were not far away from each other and Riya's senses were greatly strengthened after advancing to rank 5.

In this way, she could hear what Ruby was talking about.

She smiled faintly.

"Riya?" Amelia called out.

"You should prepare your equipment." Riya nudged Amelia's arm. "They're most likely going to agree to these researchers."

Amelia had confusion on her face.

"Are these soldiers stupid?"

"No, they're not stupid." Riya shook her head and her eyes gleamed. "This should be the instruction from above."

Above?

Amelia saw that a soldier rushed over and whispered something to the leader. The leader's expression turned blue and green before he turned to the researcher and said that they will go in an hour.

"…How did you know?"

"I heard it," Riya replied with a helpless look.

To be honest, she did feel that this ability was troublesome. But at the same time, Riya also knew that it was important to have higher awareness. Otherwise, one would not know when they were suddenly in danger because their awareness was low.

That would be trouble.

*sigh*

"I can understand if we go deeper to fight against these magic beasts, but why do we have to bring these researches?" Amelia muttered under her breath but her movements were not slow as she rushed back to get her equipment.

Riya shook her head and looked at these researchers.

She could guess that there were researchers with backing in Continent Z's Capital City. These people wanted these researchers to investigate deeper too in order to have more result.

Reason?

Riya looked at Samuel and Peter, who were being briefed by the leader.
