Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 215: Misunderstanding!

After a while of fruitless searching, he finally couldn’t find anything useful and after grabbing a box full of concentrated canned drinks from the dead guy’s corpse, Lucian immediately got on his feet and went on his way, not bothering to look back.

There was something important for him to do. He had to gather more points. Preferably more kill points.

As soon as he had gotten to a more secure place, Lucian took out both skill books and let his interface scan it.

"Extracting data, wait a few seconds, let the scanning be completed." Hazel stated.

Lucian didn’t mind and maintained his position. After a few seconds, Hazel finally spoke up again.

"Okay, the data has being completed. Compiling files into the program. Task complete.

Preparing the installation of the program.

Will take at least an hour to complete installing the program, don’t bother waiting."

Hazel pointed it out directly to him. Ignoring the urge to roll his eyes, Lucian casually jumped down from the roof of what was supposed to be an high school.

While he asked a bit puzzled. "Why would it even take that long? The previous ones installed earlier didn’t even take up to a minute."

"The quality of the previous chips installed earlier is way lesser than this one. It’s like comparing a level 8 radiation water to a normal clean water.

The file contained in this chips are a bit enormous for the operational level of the system. You should get an upgrade as soon as we get to back in the institute." Hazel said as a matter of fact.

Lucian frowned a bit. "What’s a level 8 radiation water?"

"Don’t ask me. When you get to the wastelands, you would know by then." It was obvious she was getting more irritated by Lucian continuous question.

"So is there like a level of radiation in this place?" Lucian asked casually.

"Uhn?" Hazel surprisingly let out a weird sound.

Lucian instantly got a bad feeling and he stopped in his tracks "I didn’t check before because your body wasn’t reacting to it but we are in a level 2 radiation zone." Hazel replied casually as if it wasn’t something to be worried about.

Lucian’s heart shook and then he blinked his eyes "Is that bad?"

Is a level 2 radiation zone bad?" Lucian asked ignorantly.

"Not that bad, but a normal human would probably be infected after a few seconds of inhaling the radiation." Hazel’s reply was still casual, turning Lucian’s face quite green and he immediately yelled.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Goddammit! I need to get the hell out of here." Lucian instantly started sprinting from the direction he came from previously.

"No need for that, a Spryher wouldn’t get infected quickly." Hazel tried to console him but Lucian wasn’t fooled and his speed increased even more but he still asked.

"How long would a Spryher last?"

Hazel kept quiet for a moment before muttering in a low voice "O-ne minute."

"My god!!!" "Second Star!" Lucian’s speed instantly doubled and he moved like the wind.

"Don’t be so anxious, you have more than three times the physique of a strong Spryher. You could last at least 30 minutes in the zone without the risk of getting infected with radiation." Hazel tried to comfort him.

And again, Lucian wasn’t fooled "And how did you know I would last for about 30 minutes?"

Hazel remained quiet again before saying softly "I guessed. But it should be correct."

"You guessed! You know, at this rate you will definitely be the death of me!"

"Sigh, Since I feel a little bad right now, let me just remind you." Hazel sighed softly. She had been a bit negligent and if Lucian hadn’t asked, reminding her. There might be a 10% chance of Lucian getting a slight infection from the radiation. And although it wasn’t that bad.

But to kill off most of the radiation, he would need to go through some sort of an intense baptism back at the institute to purify his polluted body. Which at all want nice to experience.

"Remind me about what?" Lucian asked with a grumbling voice.

"The Combat Suit."

"Just put on the Combat Suit and you will be alright." Hazel finally said.

Lucian instantly paused in his tracks and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "So, you weren’t going to tell me earlier?"

Hazel refused to answer that question.

"How did you even become like this?" Lucian stated, a slight disbelief expression on his face.

Abruptly, he slammed his palm against a tree. A Soaring Threadserpent was instantly reduced to mush.

"You evolved from my character which means we should be of almost the same mind. But how come you are way more petty than I am?"

"Is it because you are female?" Lucian asked a but puzzled.

"And are you discriminating against females?"

"What? No! Hey young lady, don’t change the topic!" Lucian was angry as he waved his fist to the air.

"You seem to think females are way more petty than males? Isn’t that what you just said?" Hazel retorted.

Lucian’s faced turned red and he struggled to calm his breathing down. Just once, once! He wanted to grab Hazel and violently shake that head of hers off.

He didn’t bother saying anything and grabbed his backpack from his back.

Taking out the helmet and the ugly looking Combat suit that was filled with multiple holes.

After putting them on, Lucian resumed retreating the area. There would barely be any student in the radiation zone, so Lucian didn’t remain there any longer.

Isaac and Edmonton has just killed a mid level black haze beast with their combined effort. They were able to take down the neat after a long 30 minutes fight of wearing the Horned lizard down and 10 minutes of successfully killing the beast.

Isaac panted and was about to lay against a tree when Edmonton spoke. "Don’t rest yet. There might be other people or beast attracted by the smell of blood and the sound of battle. Let’s get out of here first." The crew shaved Edmonton warned.

Isaac’s eyebrow’s furrowed slightly as he realised Edmonton was right. Glancing at the bushes around them. "You are right, lets get out of here, before we decide if we should give Phyllida the kill points." Isaac agreed. And he was quite smart.

If someone had truly been there, upon hearing them casually mention giving Phyllida the kill points, the person would definitely hesitate to strike as that was the name of one of the bosses who owned a safe zone all to her self.

At the top of a huge tree, Lucian was quite hesitant. He had removed the Combat Suit long ago since he was no longer in that zone. And no, he wasn’t hesitating about the fact that they mentioned Phyllida, he hesitated because their kill points were just too little to satisfy the gap in his tooth.

But suddenly, he seem to have thought of something and he jumped down from the tree.

"Wait!" Lucian hurriedly called out to the two guys who were just about to leave.

Isaac and Edmonton instantly got cautious and they were battle ready in second.

"What do you want?" Edmonton asked cautiously.

With a raised eyebrows Lucian asked softly "I hear you mention Phyllida is that right?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, both Isaac and Edmonton nodded their heads in agreement.

"What about it?" Isaac courageously asked.

"Don’t you try to do anything here, we are very close to the safe zone." Edmonton warned.

Raising his hands in a harmless sign. "I’m not here to hurt you guys, I just wanted to ask, how do I meet with Phyllida?"

The two boys relaxed a bit when they heard his words. "So it’s another brother who wish to get on Phyllida’s good grace." Isaac broadly smiled naively and his guarded look immediately faded away.

Walking towards Lucian, he placed his arm around Lucian’s shoulders and patted his other shoulder with it.

Edmonton had also replaced his cautious look with a bit of a smile.

Stunned, Lucian couldn’t comprehend the situation and he asked hesitantly. "I want to get on her good side?"

Patting Lucian’s back forcefully, Isaac found it to be quite tough but he still responded casually. "Isn’t that why you want to give her your kill points?"

Not waiting for Lucian to reply, Isaac tried to drag Lucian as he said "Come on, Since you forgot to save the previous route you took out of the safe zone, we will take you there a we are going there anyways."

Isaac stated and then he tried to move Lucian’s body with his arm around his shoulder but he found out Lucian wouldn’t budge at all.. He remained as still as a pole.

Not believing that he couldn’t shake Lucian, he grabbed hold of Lucian’s hands with his two arms and tried moving him again. But still, the result remained the same.
