Chapter 841
Upon hearing Adrian’s explanation, Mya and Lincoln raised their heads and looked into the distance. The entire situation felt like some sort of scheme. If there was some sort of natural chemical compound here, the reason why Raiden had issued that mission was clear.Mya felt terrified. ‘It was all a scheme.’Lincoln’s hand that was holding his cane shook. “Everything seems very bizarre. Why did War Legate Raiden send Gloria’s squad here? What was their purpose? On the other hand, what caused the hallucinations earlier?”They could not figure it out. The only thing they could do now was to carry on.Mya hastily pulled out three respirators from her bag and said, “Thankfully, I prepared these. They’re useful against any toxic mist present in the rainforest. Let’s put them on.”Mya fitted Adrian with one of the respirators. He said, “The respirators are useless. The hallucination isn’t airborne but a type of radiation that penetrates our clothing and enters our brains through our ski

They approached the huge tree.At this very moment, Adrian spotted a woman leaning against the tree. She had a fair complexion, a face with delicate facial features, and her enticing figure was completely exposed. The woman was silent. She was so silent that it felt like she had fused with the rainforest.Adrian stopped upon seeing her. Mya looked around in astonishment. There were hundreds of bodies scattered across the ground, frozen in the positions they were in at their death. It was as if they had simply stopped being alive, their bodies unchanged.There were no signs of decay on these bodies.“Umm…” Mya widened her little mouth and looked around her in a daze.Lincoln patted Adrian’s shoulder emotionally. “Put me down.”Upon saying that, Lincoln got off Adrian’s back and limped toward the corpses on the ground. They were all wearing Wyvern Peak’s battle suits, and their suits had decayed after being exposed to the snow and wind for years. However, their bodies were still

Mya was stunned upon hearing Adrian’s remark. If he was right, what item here could trigger a person’s central nervous system such that they would experience hallucination? Could it be mist?However, there was no mist in the rainforest. In other words, the radiation existed. Even if one was wearing a respirator and a hazmat suit, one would not be able to resist the effect of the radiation.But where was the radiation coming from?“Adrian, if that’s true, what’s causing it? Did War Legate Raiden maybe send his people to retrieve this item? It’s a shame that the information from that time has been destroyed.” Mya turned around on the spot and looked around her in frustration.Her comrades who died five years ago looked the same as they were in the past. The wounds on their bodies had already healed completely. Everything about the situation was telling Adrian and Mya that there was a huge secret hidden on Isle 416. Otherwise, the numerous outland countries would not have risked their

Mya said, “This method is really effective, sir. Come, I’ll apply some for you! Hehe!”Mya giggled, walked over, and applied a messy layer over Adrian’s face before she applied some to his clothes. When she was done with the application, Adrian looked toward the depths of the rainforest and saw a mountain standing tall on the horizon.“The answers should be there. Let’s go and check it out,” Adrian said.“Yes, sir!” Mya answered.Adrian inhaled a deep breath, got down on his knees, and cupped Gloria’s face in his hands. He said, “Wait for me here. I’ll take you home after I’ve uncovered the secrets of this place.” He then stood up, turned around, and walked toward Lincoln.Lincoln was already dead, and he had a quick death. Adrian knew that this was his finishing point. Lincoln knew of this possible future and was mentally prepared for this before he came. It was possible that the homeward journey was the best ending for him.“Rest in peace, Link.”Adrian shut Lincoln’s eyes and

Adrian’s expression was extremely calm. He turned his head and looked at Mya before he replied, “It’s not without scientific evidence. The healing of the wounds is a very convincing example. The island is different from other islands. A living person will be negatively affected by the radiation, but perhaps it can also change the body of a person who’s about to perish.”“Oh god! That sounds outrageous. Resurrection is—”Adrian interrupted Mya. “It’s not resurrection. It’s possible that Gloria and the others didn’t die but are on the brink of death. The radiation here changed their bodies and made their bodies enter a peculiar state. We’ll know after verifying it.”He suddenly stopped walking.“But how do we verify it?” Mya was stunned ever so slightly.In the next moment, Adrian retraced his steps. Moreover, he quickened his pace and ran toward the spot where Gloria’s corpse was at. Mya was startled and went after him. “Wait for me!”In less than ten minutes, Adrian and Mya were

There was still room to redeem themselves.“Go and test the others,” Adrian instructed Mya.Mya nodded.They made their way to the other soldiers in the surroundings and made a cut on each of them. However, something unexpected happened. Blood seeped out of their wounds but it was thick and in a semi-coagulated state.They tested everyone there and received an outcome at last.Mya said, “Other than Gloria, the blood of the others has very low indexes. They were just like Gloria previously, but their blood is now slowly coagulating. What’s the reason behind this?”Adrian stood up, shut his eyes, and pondered over it. His gaze then landed on Gloria’s body. “The answer is Gloria. Search her,” he said.Mya hastily went to search Gloria’s body. A moment later, she found a rock-like object on Gloria. The rock was placed in the pocket of her battle suit.The rock was not huge, only about the size of one’s fist. However, it was hard to tell what it was and it looked very peculiar. Mya

Mya quickly packed up her items and followed after Adrian. She had witnessed a miracle on this trip to Isle 416, and there was no telling what was waiting for them up ahead.Adrian carried Gloria and raised his head to look at the mountain deep in the rainforest, looking eager to get all the answers he was looking for from it. And that was exactly what he was doing.He said, “Gloria, if you’re still alive, I promise I’ll find a way to wake you. Can you hear me? We’re almost there. Just hold on.”Mya, similarly, was looking forward to getting answers. If Gloria was still alive, it meant that the biggest regret in Adrian’s life would be resolved.All of a sudden, a gale blew through the rainforest. It was so chilling that one would shiver despite the lack of cold. Mya shuddered, looked around her, and said, “Sir, what do you think we’ll find on the mountain? You mentioned that War Legate Raiden may be there too. Is that true?”Raiden was the previous legate of Wyvern Peak, and he he

His wound was healed!The stab wound on Adrian’s chest had vanished. Not even a scar could be seen.“You’re…You’re healed? That’s too fast, right?” Mya said with widened eyes. However, she changed her perception and thought about it again. Then, she was no longer astonished. After all, things that transcended reality had happened here.Adrian said, “Looks like our speculations were right. The radiation here affects our bodies and speeds up our recovery ability.”Mya pursed her lips and said, “It has its advantages and disadvantages. We might already be dead if not for the plant juice. What is with that rock? It’s out of this world…”“We’ll find out tomorrow. Let’s get a good night’s rest tonight. We shall depart at the first light of the day tomorrow.”“Yes, sir.”***The next day, Adrian opened his eyes when sunlight shone on him through the gaps between the tree leaves. He found Mya next to him, packing her backpack next, and Gloria lying quietly on the ground.“You’re up. L
