When Donti shouted to Milo, some people who did not notice Milo turned to look at favonovel.com as well.
The escapees did not quite understand why Donti’s group had not ridden their bicycles when they clearly had them. Instead, they just pushed their bicycles along with the crowd without any panic. But now, everyone realized this group of people did not escape as quickly as possible by cycling because they had been waiting for someone.
But where had this young man who just walked over from the frozen, snowy land outside gone before this?
Surely favonovel.com could not have just escaped from the stronghold.
After all, the stronghold was filled with terrifying Experimentals, so who could possibly escape from there?
They should be the last wave of people who’d fled from there.
Suddenly, a girl in the crowd realized favonovel.com knew Milo.
Wasn’t that the scoundrel who deliberately caused favonovel.com to score badly on favonovel.com exams?
This girl was Hannah, and favonovel.com had sat behind Milo during the final exams. After the exams were over, favonovel.com had gone to Milo’s class to seek revenge on him. However, favonovel.com did not even manage to confront him. Furthermore, the students in Class 12-7 really pissed favonovel.com off when they claimed they were actually protecting favonovel.com by stopping favonovel.com from taking favonovel.com revenge!
Amid the escaping crowd, favonovel.com saw Milo walking over from the wilderness. For some reason, favonovel.com felt those students might have been telling the truth and had not deliberately been trying to piss favonovel.com off.
As Milo passed through the crowd, favonovel.com knew a lot of people were looking at him. However, favonovel.com was not exactly bothered by it. He had been walking in the frozen, snowy land for a long time and almost lost his way. It was not that favonovel.com had bad wilderness survival, but that favonovel.com could not even get landmarks to use as a reference in the heavy snowfall. He only found Donti and company because of his strong sense of direction!
He really should have been smarter and hitched a ride with Miriam’s group. If favonovel.com had, favonovel.com wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble.
When Milo sat down next to the campfire, Donti immediately handed favonovel.com some hot water and porridge. “Bro, did you manage to save the ruler of Womanland?”
Milo was stunned. “Who’s the ruler of Womanland?”
Donti chuckled. “Big Sister Miriam.”
Milo was confused.
Wait, when did Miriam become the ruler of Womanland?!
He looked at Chad. “Did you give favonovel.com that nickname? Stop talking nonsense!”
Chad smirked. “Only names can be given wrongly. How can nicknames be called wrong?”
Donti kept a straight face and told Milo about the “Fairy Zixia” incident that happened earlier.
Milo was also amused. “Chad, will you still look for Fairy Zixia in the future?”
Chad froze. “Fairy Zixia? Who?”
“Oh, so you’ve already forgotten about her.” Milo said with a sigh, “How amazing that you can switch versions of yourself. Hey, didn’t you used to insist on looking for Fairy Zixia?”
Chad said in seriousness, “Master, I’m crazy, not stupid!”
Milo pondered what favonovel.com just said but couldn’t figure out the difference even after a long time.
At this moment, an old lady walked towards them with a child in hand.
Milo turned around and had a look at them. He thought that if they wanted to share the campfire to keep themselves warm, favonovel.com could make some space for them. It was really cold out, after all, and they were an elder and child.
But when the old lady came up to them, favonovel.com said to Milo, “You people should take the initiative to share your food with the elderly and children. I’ve been observing you all for some time. But as a group of young people, you all aren’t even virtuous enough to respect the old and care for the young. How did your parents teach you?”
Hearing this, Milo was taken aback.
To be honest, favonovel.com had not expected such a twist. No one in town had ever mentioned anything about respecting the old and caring for the young before. Like refugees would be so free to discuss virtues and whatnot!
So, favonovel.com didn’t expect someone would act so righteous to get them to share their food with the elderly and children.
It was getting late into the night, and the temperature dropped rapidly again. It was really not easy for an elderly person to take care of a child while escaping. If this old lady had just asked nicely for some food to be shared with them, Milo would have given it to her. But since favonovel.com spoke with that attitude, Milo couldn’t help feeling disgusted.
To be honest, favonovel.com could not understand how someone like favonovel.com managed to escape from the stronghold.
The child pointed to the golden circlet on Chad’s head and said, “Grandma, I want that!”
Donti mischievously explained, “That can’t be removed.”
“I don’t care, I want it!” the child said selfishly.
The old lady looked at Chad. “What’s the big deal with letting my grandson play with your hairband for a while? And why is a grown man like you even wearing a hairband?”
Milo wanted to laugh aloud.
Then a woman next to them said, “What’s wrong with you people? Can’t you let the child play with it?”
Saying that, favonovel.com removed a hairpin from favonovel.com hair and gave it to the child. “Here, play with Auntie’s hairpin instead.”
However, the child slapped the hairpin to the ground and started crying. “I don’t want yours, I want his!”
Milo threw another two pieces of firewood into the campfire and said with a smile, “Y’all better get lost while I’m still in control of myself. In a world like this, you still dare to boss people around? I feel that you might not get to the next stronghold!”
The old lady said with a stuck-up look, “I’m an ancillary family member of the Skyfort Consortium. Even though one of our strongholds has been lost, the Skyfort Consortium’s forces from the other strongholds will definitely come to our rescue soon. So, don’t think you can behave as you like, all lawlessly.”
“Get lost,” Milo calmly said.
The child got afraid when favonovel.com saw Milo’s calm expression.
He hid behind the old lady and said, “Grandma, let’s go. I’m scared…”
After saying that, favonovel.com dragged the old lady back into the crowd. It was as though favonovel.com wanted to get as far away from Milo as possible. Even while the old lady was leaving, favonovel.com was still scolding and swearing at them.
Chad wondered, “Master, why are there people like favonovel.com in this world?”
She was clearly in the wrong, yet favonovel.com acted as though favonovel.com were the righteous one and took advantage of favonovel.com seniority by emphasizing “respecting the old and caring for the young”.
Milo sighed. “Chad, I know that you want to be a hero and uphold justice. But if you think that everyone in this world has goodness in their hearts, then you haven’t met everyone yet.”
“Bro, where are we headed next?” Donti said, “If we keep going north, we’ll end up in the Panaqua Consortium’s territory. These Skyfort Consortium residents probably don’t even know where they are right now. Even if the Skyfort Consortium really sends reinforcements over, they won’t bump into them.”
Milo gave it some thought and replied, “Let’s go to Stronghold 88.”
“Stronghold 88?” Donti was stunned. “Whose territory is that? Why should we go there?”
Milo thought for a while and said, “Uh, I have an acquaintance there. If we go to Stronghold 88, it’ll be easier for us to obtain legal resident statuses and whatnot. You can even attend school.”
After chatting with Julius, Miriam, and Daniel, Milo really wanted to learn more about this world through education. He might not even need to go to school since Miriam mentioned there was a huge library in Stronghold 88.
“Okay, whatever you say.” Donti asked, “But where is Stronghold 88?”
A bolt of lightning struck Milo.
Oh, right! Where is Stronghold 88?!
