Nigel spread new symbols in conspicuous places, so it attracted media attention. Cody found those things and asked his friends in Zeno’s town to interpret them.This time, Cody came alone without Randy to a barren land with hills around them. The place was remote from human civilization, making it ideal for a big fight.Cody stopped his car a few meters away from Nigel, then got out.“You took quite a while to get here, Dad.” Nigel said.Cody looked around. “You didn’t bring your friends anymore, huh?”The special zombies Cody did not find other people protecting Nigel from a distance.“However, I still have a heart, Dad. They are people who are loyal to me,” Nigel explained. “I don’t want to let more victims fall from them.”Cody didn’t know if Nigel was genuine in saying that, or if he wanted to make Cody softer in fighting him.“I also have one question, Dad.” Nigel turned his fists into diamonds, a sign that he was ready to fight. “Why did you use your real body to come here? I he
“Since that incident, he just locked himself in his room and drank.” With a sigh, Freya led Randy and Luna to her husband’s room. “But I can’t blame him. He’s been through a lot.”“We understand, Freya. Maybe he needs time.” Randy glanced at Luna, who was wearing a face mask and sunglasses. “If it wasn’t urgent, we wouldn’t have come here.”“Well, I actually appreciate you guys coming here. Who knows, you two might make him come back to his senses.” Freya opened the door to a messy room.They found Cody sitting in the corner of the room with an unshaven face. His right hand was holding a half-empty vodka. Meanwhile, other empty bottles were scattered around him.“Damn, you like a hobo, Cody.” Randy grimaced, seeing his friend’s condition.Cody took a sip of his drink. “I told you, I’ll save them, but I still need time.”Cody’s voice sounded like barely audible babbling.Randy glanced at Luna and interrupted. The woman took off her mask and sunglasses. Instantly, Freya gasped while cov
Cody, Luna, and Randy were at a military base on the seashore. After being escorted near the warship, a uniformed man who seemed to have a high rank approached them.“My name is Kevin Orton, who will accompany all of you while on this ship.” That man spoke. “Well, I’ve met Miss Luna, but this is my first time meeting you two.”“Well, I’m Randy Owens.” Randy grimaced as he shook that man’s hand. “Honestly, I don’t know what I’m doing by following Cody. I even took my precious leave…. I just went with the flow, I guess.”“Okay…” Kevin raised an eyebrow and then turned to shake Cody’s hand. “So, you’re the main character in this show, huh?”Cody looked at Kevin’s face, which looked older than he last remembered. But that was natural. If his age was still the same as before, he wouldn’t be able to get this high rank in the navy.“Would you like to reveal a secret from your past that you don’t know, Mr. Orton?” Cody smiled as he shook Kevin’s hand. “With that, you might feel like your life
Cody kept his promise by making Stella’s body fly from somewhere and put it in a secret room. As soon as Kevin entered the room, he froze for a while.“Hey, it’s been a long time since we met, Stella.” The navy general smiled faintly at the woman. “Are you feeling okay?”Stella didn’t answer and just stared at Kevin with a blank expression. Cody watched it, and Randy turned away because he couldn’t stand to see it.“You’re not usually this quiet.” Kevin touched the woman’s cheek. She still didn’t respond. She didn’t even blink at all. “I want us to be like before, Stella. I want to chat about unimportant things with you and laugh together. Ah, I also want to play soccer with you again.”Unable to take it anymore, Kevin fell down and cried. Finally, Stella gave a response. But it was only that she lowered her head and looked at Kevin.There was still no light of life shining in her eyes.A tough person with a high rank like Kevin could be like that. No wonder he said he wanted to prepa
Cody has tried various ways. From making a vehicle with reinforced armor, making a creature that looks like a big fish, using another route, to the ridiculous thing like using a large peace flag. However, all failed. The light beam always destroyed whatever Cody made to come to the kingdom.It lasted for months and, of course, made everything worse. Many former commander candidates had died because their bodies could no longer survive.In a hospital in Zeno’s town, Cody went to a room. He found Randy sitting near the bed.Luna was lying on the bed and she didn’t look like a human anymore. Almost all of her skin was peeled off and the only remaining limb was her left leg. She was unconscious, with various tubes connected to her body, including a breathing apparatus.Cody didn’t dare say anything to Randy. After all, Cody was one of the most responsible people in this project. He had to get a sample of the remnant in the kingdom.“Please, Cody.” Randy spoke without looking at that man.
Cody was in a room on his country’s military base. Cody stood with several scientists in front of a pillar-like device that appeared to be made of metal with glowing orange electronic circuit patterns.“You called me, Cody?” Kevin Orton approached that man.Cody then asked the scientists to leave the 4-meter tall device. “Yeah, I feel like we should talk about this in person, not over the phone.”“But before that, I want to ask you a question.” Kevin stopped next to Cody and looked at the device. “I heard you refused to let your wife live with you near this base? Why?”“I don’t want her to get too stressed out by the situation.” Cody explained. “Another question? If not, I want to explain what’s on my mind right away. This is very urgent.”Kevin raised his hand. “Alright. Tell me what you want to tell me. Well, I hope it’s not something bad.”“Depends on how you look at it,” Cody smirked. “The short of it is, I found a way for the remnants to rise to the surface on their own. So, we d
“So, you said that the remnant looks like a giant dragon?” Kevin, who was beside Cody, asked.Cody, who was watching his troops, replied. “You’ve been asking that since yesterday. Didn’t you see something like Big John five years ago?”“I know that.” Kevin rubbed his face. “But… Whatever.”Cody got a visual of the remnant’s shape from some of his special zombies who were scouting. This time, no one shot them with beams, so they could watch from a distance.But the remnant and his troops were beyond Cody’s expectations. It had been two days since he confirmed their arrival, but he found that those groups had stopped several times.This gave Cody the impression that the remnant wanted to rest. Cody wondered. The remnant shouldn’t be tired from the journey.Was this for the sake of his troops, who were regular mermaids? They could reach the surface in less than a day, but it had to be non-stop.Did the remnant care about them, or was it an effort to keep them in top shape when they were
The military base received some of the remnant’s body parts, and Cody used his special zombies to do the research.“So, you’re saying that what you’re going to do is just a temporary solution to fix Luna and the others’ condition?” Randy asked Cody using a video call.Cody nodded while holding his phone, looking at Randy’s face from the screen. “But don’t worry. I can replicate Zeno’s cells from these samples, so we won’t lose the serum to maintain their condition. Unfortunately, like I said earlier, it won’t be permanent. They’ll probably have to use the serum every certain period and the results won’t be optimal. But I’m sure they’ll still survive.”“Well, at least Luna and the others won’t die and suffer like this,” Randy sighed. “So, how are you? Have you met Freya yet?”Cody shrugged. “I’m still busy with this. But I always try to contact Freya when I have time.”“I hope you can come home to her from time to time.” Randy said. “It’s not just for her, but I’m more thinking about y
