He had tried everything to find the settlement - scouring the wasteland, but he kept going the wrong way even after they point him to the right direction, he began to question himself of his mental health calling out for Arachne. But every lead had ended in disappointment.Just as Chris was starting to lose hope, he spotted a figure in the distance. She was a young woman, dressed in tattered clothing and carrying a rifle slung over her shoulder. As she drew closer, Alex saw that she was a scout, her eyes scanning the horizon with a practiced intensity."Who are you?" Chris asked, his stance was already prepared to fight. "My name is Ava," the scout replied, her voice firm and confident. "I'm from New Eden. What brings you to this place?"Chris hesitated, unsure how

34. An Encounter With new survivors
He kept running with all his speed just to escape the terror. He thought since Chris did not defeat the beast he himself would not stand a chance, but he didn't know the true reason Chris did not defeat the beast.As night fell, Luke spotted a light on the horizon. He stumbled towards it, his heart pounding in his chest. Maybe it was a signal fire, a beacon of hope in the darkness.As he drew closer, he saw that it was a figure, standing atop a rocky outcropping, a torch held aloft. The figure was shrouded in shadows, but Luke could sense their gaze, piercing and intense."Who are you?" the figure called out, their voice carrying across the wasteland.Luke hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about the figure's tone put him at ease."I'm a survivor," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm headed for New Eden."The figure nodded, their torch dipping in acknowledgement."I can help you," they said. "But we have to move, now. The beast is closing in."Together,

We would be putting lots of people lives in danger." The emperor said." There is really not much thing to say about that! just keep pretending for your people sake, maybe you could even get close to them enough to extract information of their next move and other things." Chris pointed out.The emperor out of curiosity asked, " And how would I do that, it is not like I have ever give them any information they want, the last time dey gave me a task, I by all means find a way to avoid it."At first Chris wanted to continue with
