The air was silent, with only Adrian’s footsteps to be heard.Gloria continued to kneel on the ground, her head lowered and her eyes filled with emotions. Her long hair covered her face, so her expression could not be seen clearly.Mya stood in the distance watching the scene in silence.Soon, Adrian reached Gloria and got down on his knees. He stretched out his shaky right hand to push away the hair on her face, revealing that familiar face of hers that was beautiful yet mature.Gloria raised her head in a daze and looked at Adrian before her.Their eyes met, and countless thoughts filled their minds.Scenes were appearing in Gloria’s mind at this very moment, bits and pieces of her past. Those were the scenes from her past. It felt like memories were rewinding in the depths of her mind.It was the scene of her meeting Adrian for the first time on the training ground. “Hey, are you even a man? How could you be exhausted from this measly training? You should just turn yourself i

She remembered.She would never forget this man.Adrian shut his eyes and pulled Gloria into his arms for a tight hug. “I’m sorry that I’m late. I’m sorry for leaving you here for five years.”Gloria did not speak but her eyes were similarly shut. She could feel Adrian’s warmth, his heartbeat.After a long time, she said, “My head feels kind of messed up right now. I feel like I’ve been asleep for a long, long time. I dreamt that I was trapped in an enclosed space, and I just couldn’t wake up. I heard your voice, but I couldn’t wake up. But in the end, I escaped the enclosed space.”Adrian inhaled a deep breath and said, “The rock made your body undergo mutation. Your bodily functions were reduced to their lowest points over the years. That’s why you’re having trouble adapting after waking up.”He had no idea what sort of mutation Gloria’s body had undergone. However, this proved that she was in a dormant state for the past few years, just like a hibernating animal. The sound of

Upon saying that, Adrian carried Gloria on his back and walked toward the rainforest. Mya briefly packed up. She then picked up a rock that she placed in the backpack and hurried after Adrian. Adrian wanted to leave the rainforest as soon as possible because he had no idea what else would happen in the rainforest. Thus, he quickened his pace. Gloria laid on Adrian’s back and rested. Her body was having trouble adapting after remaining immobile for such a long time.When they passed by the huge tree, Mya glanced at the corpses strewn across the ground and asked Adrian, “Sir, I think these people are dead. Are we taking their corpses with us today?”“We’ll head back first and send a few troops here. We have to lock down the island and solve its secrets.”Adrian temporarily gave up on the idea of taking the corpses back. His top priority now was Gloria.A few hours later, they walked out of the rainforest at last. Gloria expressed her astonishment after seeing the helicopters, s

On NS Trinaga, Gloria lay on the bed quietly as Adrian wheeled the bed outside.Meanwhile, Mya headed to the sick bay of the boat. The place was equipped with medical equipment for precise measurements in case of a rainy day.Adrian wanted to perform a full physical examination on Gloria, just in case.Gloria did not have the slightest idea of her physical condition but she felt confused and lost about everything. She watched as Adrian escorted her to the sick bay and felt touched.“The MRI machine is ready. Put her on the motorized bed.”“Check the blood pressure.”“Check the liver function.”“Check kidney functions.”“Run a dialysis.”“Run a full body scan.”“Run a colored ultrasound.”The equipment in the sick bay hummed and vibrated as they were put to work.Adrian and Mya were so busy that they were soon drenched in sweat. After some time, Gloria had undergone a complete physical examination. Adrian did not have the courage to move her too much so he placed her on a be

All her bodily functions were abnormal.What Adrian was most worried about was that Gloria’s body would be working differently. After all, she was supposed to be dead five years ago.The words “blood cells mutation” seemed to have declared Gloria’s condition.Meanwhile, the military doctor said through the video call, “According to the blood analysis report you provided, it’s clear that the patient’s cells are different from a normal person's. Their cells have seemingly undergone some sort of mutation, but we can’t tell the specific details of the mutation based on the report.”Adrian’s palms were sweaty.Mya asked, “Is the mutation good or bad?”“I suppose it’s good from a certain medical perspective.”“What do you mean?”“According to my observation, the extent of the cellular mutation can’t be achieved by mankind based on a foundational medical perspective. If mankind is capable of having a cellular mutation of this sort, we’d be able to have full self-recovery ability. Base

“All right.” Adrian ended the communication upon saying that.Mya turned around and looked toward him. “It seems that the meteorite is indeed a huge problem. Will we be informing Crystal about this matter? We have to seal Isle 416 and not let the meteorite fall into the possession of the outland organizations. Otherwise, there’s no telling what will happen.”Adrian nodded and said, “The island is a site of scientific interest. However, we can’t handle this matter casually. Figure out a way to reach out to the elders and draft up a set of scientific plans. We have to send people in batches to perform field study on the island.”“Yes, sir,” Mya answered and exited the sick bay.Adrian and Gloria were left alone in the sick bay. Noticing that Mya had left, Gloria said, “I can see the girl is very loyal to you. I can see that you’re everything to her.”Adrian walked over and sat down in front of Gloria. He stretched out his hand to hold Gloria’s hand and said, “Mya is the heiress of S

After that?Adrian stretched out his hand and pushed back the hair on Gloria’s face. He said, “After that, I went back to see Sam. Then, Internal Affairs’ Chase Gardner began to oppress Wyvern Peak and stopped the supplies coming into Wyvern Peak. In the end, I dissolved Wyvern Peak and stayed dormant for half a year before reassembling it. We stormed into Novemton, eliminated Chase, and overthrew the monarch. The current monarch is Reagan Nave’s daughter, Crystal Nave.”“Crystal?” asked Gloria in surprise.“Yes.”Gloria said, “Crystal and I were in the military school together, and we were close for a little over three months. So it turns out she became the monarch.”Adrian said, “In my opinion, Crystal is the only person capable of holding the post. After she took the position, I handed my authority to the elders and prepared to return home without any thought of meddling in politics anymore. I then decided to come to the island to retrieve your body, never expecting to discover

Other than that, everything else remained unchanged.Three days later, at the harbor where Jacky was stationed, hundreds of people were standing in a line along the coast. There were scientists, doctors, scholars, and chemists among these people, and they were all waiting for NS Trinaga to dock.The headquarters’ medical center had also brought in the most advanced medical equipment in the country in preparation for Gloria’s full body examination and treatment.This morning, Jacky had led the crowd of people to wait quietly at the harbor. Some time passed, then a boat appeared on the horizon.“It’s here!”“War Legate Draco is back!”“Get ready! Get ready everyone. All the troops and the medical professionals!”Honk, honk, honk!NS Trinaga emitted a siren throughout the sea to tell everyone at the harbor that the boat was about to dock in the harbor.Everyone held their breath. This was an earth-shattering, shocking matter to them. A person who was supposedly dead five years ag
