Ralph, walked out of the office dazed, though one of his hands was still clutching his hurt stomach.
The guy's pained look was not because of that injury, but the decision of bowing in front of Chen Shu was more painful. After all, he also has some pride left.
But the situation they were in was forcing him to make many rashes decisions.
Which he knew, that the condition would only worsen every second for all those students. Who still were counting on him to make it back with help and support.
When Lalay who was walking toward the office, recognized Ralph while she could not help but shout out his name.
"Uncle Ralph." To which Ralph was stunned for a second, as he turned to look at Lalay.
Where his eyes turned a little stunned, given he was not able to recognize Lalay. But soon, he smiled as he rushed toward Lalay and smiled brightly.
"Lalay! Is that really you, wow you are still alive, thank goodness. May god slap my ominous mouth, but thank goodness you are still alive and safe like this."
Seemingly, Lalay was Ralph's little student from 8 years ago, but due to her father's transfer.
She had to leave the area when that happened and she was forced into a group of people. Whom she supported to her best, till the moment Chen Shu arrived.
"You have truly grown up, huh! look at you looking so valiant and independent. My friend must be happy from above, looking at you like this."
Lalay forced smiled at the topic of her dad, but she still tried to smile as she asked.
"What happened, why are you guys here. Though, I remembered people speaking that someone here for some request and all. Are you guy the one, who is here for the help request."
Ralph, gaze become dim as he nodded to which Lalay was a little worried.
As she had made if her mind to talk to Chen Shu. As she smiled at Ralph and spoke, "Though, Chen Shu can act brought from time to time. He is the kind of a man, who would help those in dire need."
With which she started walking toward Chen Shu's office, where none of the guards stop her from entering without permission.
To which Ralph was stunned and hope of light ignited her eyes when he heard.
"Will that little sister of yours can truly help us out."
Corner asked, to which Ralph realized that Corner the bulky guy with him, was still helping him stand.
Though, the poor guy was like a thin air when Lalay chatted with them.
To which on the other hand... Lalay who was entering inside knocked on the door, where Chen Shu was surprised to see Lalay figure in Map Module.
So he smiled and called out, "Lady Lalay, please come in."
Mai also looked at the gate with astonishment, as she looked at Spill who had already entered Chen Shu's pocket and was currently sleeping with a cute look.
Which always amused Mai, to which she always pinch and rub her baby cheeks.
"Ahh! Master, please stop your girl from pinching my cheeks. They are already hurting, so much at the current moment."
"Though, I know. I am cute and lovable, but so much love is very hard for me to digest Ya know."
The little girl complained, to which Chen Shu looked at Mai with a pleading look, as he patted the tiny one head. Consoling the little girl up.
Lalay was amused to see the three, while she always tries to maintain a professional attitude toward Chen Shu given work, but whenever she enters here.
The atmosphere of the 3 of them always had changed her professional headset.
Previously, Chen Shu was always alone with Mai, now he is always with Spill and Mai.
Always joking around, making the room look like that of a children's playhouse. But today she had an important task, where she wanted to plead on behalf of Ralph.
So she seriously cleared her head and spoke, "Chen! Today I am here to ask for a request, on someone else behalf."
Chen Shu looked up at Lalay and nodded, where Lalay brought out about, the life before everything started and how she is connected to the place Ralph wants to save.
At which Chen SHu stood up, and walked toward Lalay speaking.
"If there was such a place. You wanted to be safe, you should have talked much sooner. Though, we will still give our best to help you out."
Where he patted Lalay's head, where they started to move out and found Ralph sitting dazed. Chen Shu walked and looked at them.
Where most of the people's attention was attracted toward Chen Shu and others girls.
"We are you going to save them, though it is due to Lalay's request and kind-heartedness. Remember if you thank, then thank this girl in front of you guys.
Where she is an important part of this city foundation, which gives her authority that is next to mine."
At which people, who had been following Lalay cheered out and shouted.
Where Ralph was stunned to see, so many people supporting the little girl he knew from back then.
As he vouches to help and follow Lalay and her path after they were done saving them. To which Chen Shu was happy and crafty, after all, when he heard Lalay's request, he had it all though up like this.
With the command on, everyone started to prepare for everything they need.
\After all, the amount of expedition they all are carrying is increasing, due to which it putting a lot of pressure on people.
But this city was also getting more and more manpower. Which was indeed a good thing for them.
"Lalay, given this saving expedition is on your word. I hope you will be joining this expedition too, where I would like to see the improvement you had made."
To which Lalay smiled, as he took a simple-looking bow, but its engraving was giving Chen Shu a light fluctuation of magic from within them.
Where Mai, turned to look at Lalay with a smile, as she spoke to Shu.
"Don't get surprised by her improvement. She was a natural Magic Archer, I have seen in my life. While if you can put some effort. She will improve tremendously."
Chen Shu turned to look at Mai, while he looked at Lalay and spoke, "You should go to the enlightenment room on the top floor of my office. I would like to see, what kind of improvement, I will see after that."
Lalay was totally surprised as she looked at Mai and smiled brightly, while Chen Shu looked at her rushing figure and shook his head.
As he looked at Ralph and spoke, "For now, give me all the detail about your rescue operation. Clear the destination, we need to reach and finally. Tell the level of the threat, we will be facing."
"After all, given all these matters will determine our success rate. Where killing monsters is an easy thing to begin, but dealing with zombies. We need more intel than ever."
"Hmm! Actually, the city, I want to save was actually was a university hub. Which was mostly covered by outstanding students of this world."
According to them, the city was made up of students and professors from around the country were collected.
To form a group to study the virus, due to which the importance of the city was skyrocketed and different kind of multinational companies highly invested on.
After all, the antidote to the powerful virus was very important. Unknown to them, inside the company, there was a skilled Biologist, which has been successful to create a syrup.
But the syrup was not something that can cure the virus, it help the person to regain human senses even after becoming a zombie.
"That guy purposely gets bitten by the zombie purposely and turned himself into a zombie. Even so, he had his sense of reasoning, which was nothing that great until he gain psychokinesis power along with it."
Where they all started to leave the city alone but it was not enough for that guy. Because, they all were amused causing Lalay and her father to be separated from the main group, with another group, when she was a small kid.
The small group should have been panicked. After being left by the main group, where each small attack of a difficult situation.
They must have started fighting for the food, but the main advantage could have been taken by a guy with the most skill in fighting and ability user.
Fiery must be one of the guys with such an advantage.
"It was Fiery." Calt moved toward Chen Shu, given the guy was with them all this time.
But after being trained by Duan, his skill in hiding presence was becoming rather strong.
After all, he was also a Mana Gather first Realm Peak expert under them.
[Calt:- was big brother of Lalay. The guy who had picked up Shu, when he appeared in this dimension.]
"Calt." Ralph was rattled, as he looked at the bulky man who patted his shoulder. Previously, Ralph was shocked by the sudden appearance of the person by his side.
But when he heard, the familiar voice of that man.
He could not help but look at Calt, with Happiness beaming from his visage(1) and expression.
