No one objected.
Including Nina Jacobs.
The place was only a little over ten kilometers from Griston. She could easily use this as a chance to visit Griston.
The rest of the journey went smoothly enough.
Although they frequently encountered zombies, the RV was exceptionally durable and handled the collisions well.
"We’ve now officially entered the Keldorn region."
Tobin said after they passed a derelict signpost.
They had chatted with Nina Jacobs a bit along the way. They noticed that her companion, Wayne Warner, never spoke except when he got out of the car to eat or stretch his legs.
Nina Jacobs wasn’t very talkative either. Lexy, on the other hand, was the most active one throughout the trip.
It would produce a bucket of water from time to time.
Fortunately, Cordelia had plenty of water containers in her dimensional space.
"Lexy is amazing. It’s produced dozens of buckets of water on this trip alone."
Cordelia and the others believed that even though Lexy couldn’t use its Water Element Superpower for combat, its Condensation Amount was on par with any Water Element Superpower User.
Nina Jacobs didn’t mention that Lexy had only awakened its Superpower the night before last.
Furthermore, it was obvious the amount of water Lexy produced that day was much greater than the day before.
By the time they set out again on the second day, Lexy had already filled the large white water tank, which stood taller than a person.
"A true master cat!"
Cordelia praised.
Tobin was happy too. ’This way, I can buy more water,’ he thought. ’Maybe in the future, I can even leave the base and secretly bring some back for Isabella Ramsey and her daughter...’
Early the next morning, Nina Jacobs got back in the RV.
The Friendship levels of Cordelia and the others had risen steadily, all surpassing 50. Cordelia’s Friendship, in particular, had reached 68.
Meanwhile, Rhonda Rowan’s Friendship had plummeted to 0.
Nina Jacobs guessed this was because Wayne Warner had killed Corin.
After all, when they woke up that morning, they found Rhonda Rowan’s eyes were swollen red and puffy.
Cordelia kept trying to console her, but Rhonda Rowan mostly ignored her.
"We should be there in about three hours."
Tobin was a walking map of Keldorn.
His estimate was nearly identical to the time displayed on her system’s map.
Seeing Tobin continuously give directions to the driver, Reginald Sutton, Nina Jacobs relaxed in her seat.
She gazed out the window, noticing that Keldorn’s landscape was completely different from that of City D.
The surface temperature was much higher here; an ordinary person would feel faint after just twenty minutes outside.
The roadsides were typically flanked by endless sandy slopes. Tobin explained that beneath them lay a Gobi-style desert, now buried by windblown sand.
’In an environment like this, people’s dependence on water would be drastically higher. And yet, Lornwood Base has a monopoly on all the Water Element Superpower Users...’
"Are we just going to storm Pyralia?"
After Cordelia spoke, everyone in the RV turned to look at Nina Jacobs.
Although Nina Jacobs spoke the least and was the last to join, they always sought her opinion first when it was time to make a decision.
"No need," Nina Jacobs replied. "I imagine that once we get there, someone will escort us inside, whether we want to go or not."
And she was right. Before the RV even reached Pyralia, their path was blocked by several other vehicles.
"Looks like they’re running the same racket as Ethan Cole. What do we do now?" Silas Crowley asked.
"Nothing. First, we need to confirm whether the people you’re looking for are here."
Following Nina Jacobs’s advice, the group got out of the vehicle without any resistance.
In fact, they were remarkably cooperative.
"Ms. Ulrich, these people are pretty reasonable. And they’re all Superpower Users, except for that one woman. We probably won’t have to make a move."
A scrawny, stubble-faced man said from the side.
Virgil Ulrich looked at the young people before him, tilted his head, and whispered to the stubble-faced man at his side,
"Take a look at them. There’s only a handful. Do they dare to refuse?"
He then walked up to the group and asked, "So, you just found this RV? I’d say your luck is pretty good.
