Chapter 573: A disaster
Ron bent in front of the corpses and then began to search their bodies one by one, he couldn’t even look straight at them yet he was trying a bit too hard to make Jayden go along with him.
‘ What a stupid way to die, it would be much better if he just jumped in front of a truck. ‘ Jayden thought while looking at the man.
After searching the bodies of a few men, Ron was finally able to find a mobile, he raised it into the air and showed the mobile to Jayden, then dialled a number using it.
Moving away a little from there he talked on the mobile device though Jayden and the rest of his family could clearly hear his voice because of their strong senses, though they didn’t do anything since Jayden seemed calm took.
” I have informed a friend of mine to come here and bring us all back, so don’t worry about anything hehe. ” Showing a cheeky smile, Ron threw the mobile away and rubbed his hands against his clothes.
” And how long will it take? ” Jayden asked, he decided to go along with Ron.
” J- Just wait for ten minutes. ” After replying, Ron stood beside his wife he was still afraid of Jayden’s ability.
They all waited there for a few minutes and soon the sound of a vehicle approaching came from some distance, it was a bus and it was quite well equipped, with guns and protective metal layers.
” T- That should be my friend, haha he is already here. ” Ron spoke and began to wave both of his in the air.
The bus stopped beside them and when the door opened five men holding guns and some other weapons such as knives, bows and axes walked out of the bus and pointed their weapons towards Jayden and his family.
The weapons were made of the same elemental metals, Jayden did not react at all since he did not feel even the slightest bit of threat from any of them.
” Wait wait, they are the people who saved both of us, and he is ‘Affected’ I want to bring them back and help a little. ” When he said the word affected he emphasized it a little as if hinting something.
” Okay, let’s bring them back then. ” They lowered their weapons but still stayed vigilant, after which Jayden and the rest of them all climbed onto the bus and since it was quite big so they were all able to have seats.
” Do not worry, I’ll do my best to help you for saving me and my wife out in that situation, let me treat you to some food too. ” Ron spoke and Jayden just nodded, then he turned his head to look out of the window, everything seemed to have gone through a big disaster.
‘ Weren’t there those humans calling themselves something like… Arcane was it? Where are they all and have they failed in stopping all this? ‘
Jayden wondered, no matter where he looked the scenery looked the same but the most strange thing was that, unlike normal plants and trees which have life force inside them, the plants and trees here felt as if they did not have any life force in them.
” This seems very different from what I have seen in your memories, what happened to this place? ” Liling asked, Mulan and the women who came along with her also seemed quite confused.
Jayden remembered now that he had not yet told them about the changes that had occurred on earth, though he had informed Alice and the rest of the women, so he spoke:
” I don’t know either, we will be able to find that after reaching whatever place we are going to. ”
The bus travelled at a speed of somewhere around 150 km/h it was perfectly designed to move in such types of areas, in a short while Jayden saw a boundary of long white-coloured trees.
These trees were quite high and had no leaves on them, their stem was not too large and they did not even have any branches but they were releasing a strange aura, lots of such trees were placed side by side, making a boundary using them.
After arriving in front of the trees the bus stopped, even the gate was made of the wood of the white tree, each tree had a gap of less than half a meter between them.
The driver got off the bus and spoke some kind of code words, then he knocked in different patterns, after which he returned to the bus and started the engine again, and blew the horn five times consecutively in a pattern.
Jayden wondered if there really was a need to do all that and if they were doing this to keep humans like those masked ones out, seeing Jayden’s gaze Ron understood his confusion so he began to explain.
” This is a necessary protocol to keep some uninvited guests out of our houses, and by guest, I don’t only mean humans. ” He smiled and didn’t explain any further, Jayden understood that he must be talking about the creatures that had arrived on earth.
The big gate opened slowly, along with the white wood it was also created using some kind of metal, and then the bus slowly began to move inside, once the bus entered inside the boundary several men wearing armors and holding weapons stepped in front of it.
” Just wait for a moment, I need to inform them about everything that had happened outside. ” Ron spoke and along with the all five of the armed men on the bus, he went to talk.
” Husband, do you trust him? ” Xiao asked, she could feel that this man was being too kind.
” No ” Jayden replied while his gaze remained fixedly on the people talking outside.
After around five minutes, the heated discussion finally ended Ron had a smile on his face as he returned to the bus, he looked at Jayden and spoke:
” We can go inside now, I have explained everything to them so you don’t need to worry about anything. ”
” Thanks ” Jayden said, and soon the bus began to move, after travelling a few hundred metres, Jayden felt as if he had finally returned to the original earth everything here looked normal like there was nothing wrong going on in the world.
” Surprised right? After a long battle, we were able to secure many things, even though a lot of precious things were lost during those battles. ” Ron spoke and released a sigh.
” …How many people had died? ” Jayden asked while he kept looking out of the window, the bus was moving through a less crowded area, and the market here was just the same.
” There were a lot of people who lost their lives, but we were able to save much more than that, though the ones who had left our world will always be mourned by their loved ones. ” Ron replied, while clenching his fist.
” Is there some kind of list of people who had died because of this disaster? ” Jayden asked while his gaze remained outside.
