When Theodore and the others arrived at the military base in the center of this city, they saw that there were many people there. One thing Theodore realized was that quite a few survivors had taken refuge in this base.
"Cheers to you guys. We'll split up here." Theodore decided to go alone and let Roxanne and Geoffrey adapt to the base independently.
"Alright, good luck, sis!" Although Geoffrey was unwilling to part with Theodore, he knew that Theodore had his own business.
Roxanne waved her hand and let Theodore go, realizing it was time for her and Geoffrey to be independent and not always rely on Theodore for their affairs.
Theodore also tried to ask one of the soldiers he saw. He had to find out first if they were making a search team.
For a while, Theodore strolled while paying attention to his surroundings. Many people were wandering around the military barracks, so he had a little trouble finding the figure of a soldier among these people.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people here already," Theodore muttered, casting his eyes around in search of soldiers he could question.
"I should have come earlier," Theodore continued, regretting wasting his time when he could have come earlier than this.
After wandering around, Theodore finally saw one of the soldiers who had just exited the barracks. He quickly approached the soldier to ask.
"Wait a minute. I have something to ask you!" Theodore stepped faster when he saw the soldier walking quickly, as if in a hurry.
The soldier turned his head towards Theodore, who was walking towards him. He stopped walking, but his face did not look good.
"What's wrong?" The soldier quickly inquired about Theodore's needs with him.
"Do you need people to send out? I intend to join!" Realizing that the soldier didn't have much time to answer his questions, Theodore quickly conveyed his purpose.
Unlike Theodore anticipated, the soldier smiled brightly, unlike before when he heard his words. For a moment, Theodore was confused about why this person had reacted like that.
"What a coincidence that we require more people! It's good you came, so I don't have to look for more people." The soldier happily patted Theodore's shoulder.
Theodore secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least his search this time was fruitful, and he also knew that these people were indeed looking for people to send out of the base.
"Come with me. You can go directly with the team that has been formed at this time," the soldier continued as he motioned for Theodore to follow him.
"Has anyone joined before me?" Theodore did not expect that others had already joined.
"Yes, we've gathered some people who woke up before. We're still short of people. Since no one wants to go out, it's a good thing I found you!" The soldier changed his expression several times as he recounted the base's current situation.
Hearing that, Theodore nodded his head in understanding. He was not surprised if it turned out that the people who had joined were awakened people.
When Theodore went deeper into the barracks, he saw that many people were already gathered, and most of them were soldiers.
Theodore saw only about five people dressed like ordinary people like him. He guessed that those five people had gained power after awakening.
"Captain, I've found someone who wants to go out!" The soldier with Theodore immediately left to report to his Captain.
Judging from the situation, Theodore also stayed at the edge of the room and monitored whatever was happening there.
From a distance, Theodore could see someone the previous soldier had called Captain; when he saw that person carefully, he felt like he had seen that person before.
For a moment, Theodore was still thinking about where he had seen that person, and when he realized it, his face turned pale.
"Shit! It can't be him!" Theodore began to curse in his heart when he recognized the person called Captain.
Theodore rounded his eyes, his face pale. He couldn't believe he could see Victor McCarty with his own eyes. In Theodore's previous life, Victor was one of the most famous people of power.
But Theodore didn't know that he was from city base A. All he knew was that he was a soldier who had mighty powers.
Victor's strength was very famous among the crowd at that time. His strength was super strength, which matched his very brutal fighting style.
Theodore didn't expect Victor to be one of the captains in the City A base because that person's temperament could have been better. Theodore has to be careful this time. He doesn't want to attract attention.
Still surprised by what he found, Theodore was already surprised by a heavy voice shouting loudly from a distance; inevitably, he focused on himself.
"Then we'll be leaving in ten minutes!" Victor's heavy and rough voice could be heard from a distance. His sharp eyes looked at his people, making him look very scary at the moment.
Theodore shrugged his shoulders in horror as he met Victor's gaze. He couldn't afford to make a mistake right now, and he didn't want to be exposed to the madman's wrath.
Since it was decided that they would leave in a while, Theodore followed where the team was going; he didn't know what to do.
It was at that moment that a young man who seemed to be the same age as him walked up to him. Theodore, who noticed it, frowned in surprise. He did not expect someone to take the initiative to approach him.
"Hey, new kid. Are you also one of the people who woke up?" The young man familiarly greeted Theodore.
Although Theodore didn't like how the man addressed him, he still answered because he needed information from someone who had already joined this team.
"No, I'm just ordinary person," Theodore replied briefly.
"Too bad, I thought you were an awakened person, too. So you don't have any powers?" Upon learning that Theodore had no powers, the young man looked at Theodore with a dismissive gaze.
"That can be said. Were all the people who joined were awakened?" asked Theodore to confirm.
"Yes, the military people already gathered them. There are five teams, each with 5 to 7 powerful people on its team. We are the last team," the young man explained with an unhappy face.
In his heart, Theodore thought he was very unlucky for joining the team headed by Victor McCarty.
