Gray and Perona standing beside each other were looking at the three people and the little girl who came to their location very fast with different eyes...
Perona watched these people with doubt... One woman who seems to be the leader, and two men holding weapons in their hands, following one little girl with angry faces...
No matter how you look at it, one will think of them as a group of bad people, so while thinking of this, a soft white small ghost entered the ground without anyone notice...
But Gray beside her saw this situation in a completely different view... And many doubts raised inside his mind...
Why the scene was familiar... Gray asked himself at first...
But the next second he figured out why it was so familiar... After all, he still remembers this overly suspicious smile very well...
Who was this little girl?
Gray recognized her as soon as he saw her face clearly...
Just because of her weird smile... he recognized her... Let's not mention the weirdness all over her...
This little girl was the weird girl that gives him the empty feeling... and wanted to cooperate with him to get the awakening crystals in the underground before...
That even after he refused, and left her alone, still was forced to enter the underground...
Gray knew that what happened back then was because of Perona using her paper of luck... So he didn't suspect this little girl about this...
But the question was...
How did she survive the explosion? And how can she appear here? Was it by chance?
Well... There were many *how* in his mind right now...
But thinking of how fast she came to their side from far away, Gray looked at her a little more...
Well... But the girl's next words and actions surprised him again... and annoyed him again...
"Fake boy, we meet again! Good... they want to take my things, help me!" She ran not far behind Gray and Perona then said while pointing at the three who were following her.
"What! It's my thing! It's you who stole us, damn girl! Return my pocket back!" When the woman heard the little girl's words, she became so angry as if someone stepped on her cat tail...
Well... Even though she doesn't have one...
While the two-man beside her were also angry because of the girl's words...
As for Gray, he looked at the girl behind him and tried to not get angry at her words...
"PFFFT" But Perona beside him already blocked her mouth blocking her laugh...
Fake boy? Ah... Come to think about it... This girl didn't believe him the last time they met...
He didn't think why she recognized him so fast... After all, with his iconic long white hair and crown, Gray doesn't think anyone else will look like him... So even if he grew up, she should be able to recognize him...
"Boy, are you her partner? Let her give us back our things!" One of the three who was following the little girl looked at Gray and said while holding his big hummer apparently ready to fight at any moment...
He was a middle-aged man with short brown hair and a strong body build.
From his sharp eyes, one can see how many fights he went through... But apparently, he has a short temper...
But one can see the surprise inside his eyes...
After all, both Gray and Perona and even Nagini around Gray's neck were so outstanding... So it was only normal for him to be surprised
"Stop..." But his leader, the fake cat woman stopped him, with some sweat on her face...
This woman was a short black haired woman with a short and slim body...
While the third man was relatively calm and kept observing from under his hair that was covering his eyes...
Gray who heard the man's words, also looked at them...
But his eyes didn't have any anger...
From what he heard, he already guessed what was happening here...
Like before... This girl stole things and was followed by the others...
Hmmm..... When he met her for the first time, she stole the awakening crystal from a few wretched men who were following her...
So Gray didn't hesitate to help and cut their heads... After all, just looking at their faces, Gray was able to see the visible bad intentions...
And now he met this little girl again in the same situation...
Thinking of all of this, Gray had an odd look on his face...
But thinking of what he came here for, Gray didn't plan to attack but looked at the woman in the middle who seems to be scared of him for some reason...
"Are you from that base?" Gray pointed at Hero base direction and asked...
"Yes..." The woman answered directly...
"What is the base name?" Gray asked again...
"It's not a base anymore... It's a city... Hero City!" This time the man beside her said with some pride in his tone...
"City?" Hearing his words, Gray raised his eyebrow and didn't understand directly.
So Gray started asking all he wanted to know and the woman kept answering while her partners looked at her with doubt...
But none of the two stopped her and kept silent... Apparently, they have trust in their captain's actions, so both of them only held their weapons ready to fight any moment if something occurred...
After all, they could understand each other after a long time... their captain seems to be scared by this seemingly peaceful elf in front of them... So they have to be careful...
Lucky them they can't see the few ghosts that were lurking under them at this moment...
After ten minutes of questioning, Gray who already had a very weird expression on his face looked at the sky with difficulty...
He already learned all that he wanted to learn...
And in his heart, only a few words kept repeating...
'This world is so dangerous... I want to leave...'
What he heard really scared Gray...
Hero base was originally a little better base than other bases when Mary was there before...
But after Mary has left, five current people have come to the base all of suddenly and directly take control of it...
Even the old leader of the base himself didn't dare to resist...
Those five didn't hurt anyone but brought a new kind of hope to the survivor's future...
With their abilities, in eight months only, the entire base has evolved into a big city that contains a very huge population after collecting many small bases they could reach... and random survivors all around...
Well... Till now, Gray felt good about this news...
Originally Gray was planning to enter Hero city after coming back from sea world... But what happened next didn't allow him...
Plus when he heard about the power level inside the base, he felt that it was really dangerous to enter that base back then... And even now...
How strong the five people who made all this?
They don't know...
But from what the woman knew... At least their power was higher than 30,000 C.P... After all, one of them killed a fifth-order zombie with 22,000 C.P not a long time ago...
Hmmm... A very high number... Very high that Gray wants to ask... Was this the same world I used to live in?
Since such a group of powerful people actually exists... Things shouldn't be like this!
Till now he has never seen anyone with such a high number... Even in other worlds!
Can three years make such monsters?
But in other thoughts... He himself awakened a very out of order ability... Why others can't?
And he didn't forget a current zombie almost got him a long time ago...[Actually, 3 days ago]
This also explained to Gray why he didn't see any zombies as he kept getting closer to this place...
Probably cleared by this ...City.
"Well... The last question... If you caught her... What were you planning to do with her?" Gray asked the woman in front of him with a weird smile... While invisible magic was carried by his words...
"Teach her a good lesson... Then take her back to the city... She's still young, I can't let her stay outside alone like this..." The woman looked at Gray confusingly and said her true thoughts...
"Well... A good answer... Return her things..." Gray smiled and didn't do anything to them... And said to the little girl behind him.
Anyway, they are not bad people... The woman's answer shows this...
Besides they didn't hurt him, why should he hurt them? All he wanted was some information, and he already got what he wants...
"Are you sure? there might be something good inside" The little blonde looked at Gray and said with a thief's smile...
But seeing Gray wasn't interested, the blonde threw the space pocket back to the woman as if she was throwing a trash bag...
Apparently, she didn't care about what might be inside from the very beginning...
"This... Thank you very much... Let's go" As the woman took her pocket, she looked at Gray with some hesitation, but after thinking of something, she thanked him and turned back directly.
While her two companions glanced at Gray with weird eyes and followed...
Seeing them running away, Gray didn't care anymore and looked at the troublemaker behind him and a weird light appeared in his eyes...
"Now it's your turn..." As Gray said this, a bottle of unknown potion appeared in his hand, and a very nice smile appeared on his face...
