With Milo’s physical fitness, favonovel.com would not get injured from just falling off a bicycle. He dusted off the dirt and snow on favonovel.com and got back on his feet.
“Chad, if you see any injustice in the future, just let me handle it. You should focus on riding the bike, alright?”
“Oh, sure thing, Master!” Chad hurriedly picked the bicycle up and continued riding with Milo as favonovel.com caught up to the group.
Milo turned around and looked at the wolves on the hilltop. The white wolves were not alarmed by the sight of the escapees running away and stood there motionlessly in the snow. It was as though they had nothing better to do and were only here to take a gander. But favonovel.com could not understand what their motives were.
In front of him, Chad was pedaling hard and saying, “Master, why are there always people in this world who think nothing of hurting others to achieve their goals?”
“Humans are self-serving,” Milo replied nonchalantly.
“What about people who try to get something without making any effort for it?” Chad asked.
“That’s also because humans are self-serving,” Milo replied.
Chad suddenly sounded a little depressed. “Master, do you think I should still fight against injustices in the future? There are so many bad people out there. What if the people I save turn out to be bad as well?”
Milo could feel the contradiction inside of Chad. It seemed like his dream of becoming a hero was starting to waver. Although Milo did not want to be a hero himself, favonovel.com found this quality in Chad’s nature to be praiseworthy.
Milo patiently explained to Chad, “You can continue saving others if you wish to save them. But if you discover that they’re bad people after you’ve saved them, you can just beat them to death.”
“Okay,” Chad nodded vigorously in response.
All of a sudden, a scream came from the fleeing crowd. A woman shouted, “Someone has taken my belongings! Everyone, please help me! He snatched my bag!”
Immediately, Milo jumped off the bicycle in anticipation of what might happen. By the time favonovel.com landed on the ground, favonovel.com saw that Chad had already rushed to that woman to help favonovel.com and left the bicycle behind with no one to control it.
Milo felt sad. It was still better for favonovel.com to learn how to ride a bicycle. It wouldn’t do if favonovel.com had to keep depending on others like this.
After a while, Chad ran back after beating up another man.
When favonovel.com saw the bicycle lying on the ground, favonovel.com was a little embarrassed. “Master, I’m sorry. I forgot you were on the bike again.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine…” Milo had no alternative but to dismiss it. “But with so many people here, you can’t possibly handle everything, right? I’m afraid that you will exhaust yourself to death if you continue dealing with every little matter.”
Moreover, this was just the beginning of their escape. There would probably be many more instances of such bullying among the escapees in the future.
“Then I’ll just handle them one at a time.” Chad said hesitantly, “I can’t possibly just ignore them.”
After fleeing for a while more, Milo suddenly called out to his group, “Alright, let’s stop here. The wolves aren’t pursuing us. Besides, if they were really chasing after us, none of us could get away.”
Donti and the others came to a stop. When the other escapees saw them stopping, they also slowly stopped in their tracks. Everyone was weary to the bone now.
The only good thing that came of this was that they did not feel as cold after some exercise.
Now that they had fled to a new location, they would have to rebuild their campfires and collect more firewood to burn. Some people who were too lazy to go around doing all that again just laid in the snow. Meanwhile, Donti led the group of students who did not mind the trouble of restarting their campfire.
This was what Milo had requested of them. No matter how cold or tired they were in the snowy wilderness, they were required to make a campfire. Otherwise, they would pay a hefty price.
“Bro…” Donti asked, puzzled, “Did you sense anything strange about those wolves?”
“You sensed it as well?” Milo asked.
“Yes…” Donti said, “I keep having the feeling that the Wolf King is constantly watching me from afar. It’s like I can feel its gaze on me all the time…”
This was something new to Milo since favonovel.com did not feel that favonovel.com was being watched.
When it was late at night and Milo saw that everyone around them had fallen sleep, favonovel.com reminded Chad and Donti, who were keeping watch, to be careful. He needed to go somewhere for a while.
Milo walked into the wilderness with great doubts on his mind. He was going in the direction of where the wolves had appeared.
The snow was very deep. Ever since The Cataclysm, the winters would get exceptionally cold, and the snowfall also became much heavier.
He walked towards the wilderness with some difficulty in the snow. Some escapees who were still awake were shocked when they realized someone was brave enough to venture into the wilderness at such time.
“Is favonovel.com going for a potty break?”
“Maybe, but wasn’t favonovel.com the one who came from the wilderness alone and joined us?”
“Look at how well-prepared their group is. They probably knew something was going to happen to the stronghold.”
“How did they know?!”
A woman who had favonovel.com face concealed behind a scarf was secretly watching Milo’s receding figure.
Suddenly, someone beside favonovel.com said in surprise, “Aren’t you… Chloe?”
Even though favonovel.com had concealed herself very well, someone still recognized her. The person said happily, “It’s really you! I’m your fan! I heard you were going to be participating for a couple days in the music festival, but I never thought something like this would happen.”
Chloe forced a smile. “It’s good enough that we’re all still alive.”
When favonovel.com turned favonovel.com eyes back to Milo, favonovel.com discovered favonovel.com had disappeared into the distance.
Milo crested a tiny hillock and was surprised to see the wolves playing in the snow. Several of the females even had a dozen little wolf cubs with them. The wolf cubs seemed unafraid of Milo as they looked over from afar.
Milo did not dare go any closer as favonovel.com was worried the wolves would suddenly attack him.
He just wanted to see what was going on with the wolves here. But before that, favonovel.com would have to ascertain if the wolves saw favonovel.com as prey.
The strong and powerful males in the wolf pack stood still in the snow and observed him. Then they moved aside for the Wolf King as it made its way over from the rear with a large rabbit dangling from its mouth. The rabbit was still warm and dripping with blood.
Milo stood still. He wanted to see what the Wolf King was planning to do, while the black saber was getting restless as it kept buzzing in the palace.
The rabbit was as large as a bicycle tire. Milo didn’t know what it ate to grow to this size. He could see condensation coming from the rabbit’s warm blood as it dripped onto the snow.
The Wolf King stopped not far from Milo and placed the rabbit on the ground.
Milo wondered, “Are you giving that to me?”
But the Wolf King did not respond. It just turned around and left with its pack. Milo could only watch as they padded away.
This confused Milo even more.
Had the wolf pack gotten so sociable that they even sent food to humans?
But what astonished favonovel.com was that the number of wolves seemed to have increased by a lot this time. It looked like the Wolf King had been tirelessly accepting new wolves into its pack.
