“I’ve put in ten days of effort, and I have figured out its overall movement and tracking. I’ve just sorted them out a moment ago.” Fila picked up the normal-looking document as he answered.

Within this period of time, his main job was to handle these large-scale movements. He had spent countless of days and nights on it. He even read half of the report regarding Nonosiva’s encirclement and suppression that he devised himself before going back to work.

“Ice Dragon, Dark Light, Thorn, and I have finished our deployment and can proceed with the killing at a moment’s notice,” Fila answered as he nodded his head.

“Be wary of their actions. That man is notorious for his arbitrary,” The old man warned.

“We will. Obtaining intel is my specialty. Don’t worry about it,” Fila replied with confidence.

“Good.” The old white haired man nodded his head before he disappeared from the monitor and the pornographic website turned back on.

Fila closed the website, and started checking every step of the movement that had been arranged. No mistakes were tolerable in this plan as this had been planned for so many years, just waiting for this moment.

****************

Universal Calendar Year 11527, 25th August.

A huge incident had startled the whole region.

Peace had been around for many years as war had reached a stalemate. The talented First Seat of Blackboard Region, Black Star Diofie had challenged Maria Region’s top powerhouse, Suanna. Both of them had agreed to fight to death at the Mars Canyon located in the dangerous radiation belt.

The terrifying power of Inherited Level had doubled the size of the Mars Canyon. What made everyone surprised was that both Black Star Diofie and Suanna had disappeared; they were nowhere to be found. Even the investigation team couldn’t find any trace of them at all.

Both Blackboard and Maria Region were angered as they, both powerful regions, couldn’t sustain a loss that involved their First Seat geniuses.

Both parties had voiced out. They blamed the each other’s party and that was the mastermind behind this conspiracy. One would need to have an extraordinary power in order to make an Inherited Level powerhouse disappear.

The frictions between two regions grew stronger as the frequency of conflict between Black Star and Suanna’s soldiers kept rising. Both regions had increased the number of soldiers standing by at the border, causing the whole situation rather anxious.

Under this circumstances, Blackboard Region’s new generation was promoted. Medero, Karfi, and Narissis were all promoted to Inherited Level, becoming the new pillars of the Blackboard Region.

It had been two months since Nonosiva was surrounded, and his parents had received notice that he had become a traitor to the country. All of his property and resources under his name were confiscated.

The Nonosiva family’s heavenly days were now thrown into an endless abyss...

***************

Outside of Blackboard Region was Leo City in the radiation belt.

The city looked extremely strange as huge black stones were everywhere, and people were living in these weirdly shaped stones. They had used a special instrument to dig into these stones. It was a house that could provide them with warmth and coolness during winter and summer. Some stones were half buried underground, which could be used as a basement.

The largest black stone inside had been carved into Leo City’s emblem, the lion.

It was also where the leader East Perrin lived in.

It was early in the morning as the hunter and Acquisition Team exited the city through the metal gate via motorcycles and trucks at great speed.

Every day, they went to the radioactive pond nearby to hunt for mutated fish — it was the main source of food for these radiation people. They would occasionally gather some good tasting fruit. Although it had its illusive side effect, the entertainments in the city were just playing chess, cards, and nothing else.

The Acquisition Team would head out to the energy harvesters which they had set beforehand. These harvesters were able to absorb light and wind energy to store it in an empty energy battery. It could then be reused as an energy source. At the same time, it functioned as the patrol team, patrolling around the territory.

With Leo City as the epicenter, their territory spanned about twenty kilometers square wide.

East Perrin stood by the window on the second floor of her house as she looked at the fleet leaving, she sighed at them. Her red hair was messy and she was only wearing a thin layer of white, half-transparent pajama. There was a lion-shaped scar on her shoulder that was given to her by radiation. She also had a black lion tattoo on her body, which was also the origin of the city’s name.

It seemed like East Perrin didn’t sleep well last night as she yawned and went back into her bedroom.

Her bedroom was different from a typical girl’s bedroom. Inside this medium sized room, excluding the bed, it was filled with oil stains, parts, mechanical equipment, and a messy instrument that was half assembled.

The whole room smelled rather strong and pleasing as it was a combination of her body odor and the smell of the oils.

East Perrin’s parents were both radiation people. though she had never entered the region before. She had heard stories of the inner region ever since she was young, and that was why she had decided to find a location near the region as a territory.

With her powerful strength and her mechanical knowledge, she had gathered a group of people. At the same time, she built herself a water purifier with the parts obtained from the garbage pile.

This water purifier was named as Eve by everyone. It would be able to purify radioactive water down to 10%, which was considered a good technology in the radiation belt.

With her mechanical expertise, she had built a powerful self-defense system for the city. She even trained a group of maintenance members who were good in these techniques.

Hence, Leo City was born.

“It has been so many years...” East Perrin grabbed onto her hair as she picked up a mirror, staring at an elegant female face. Though what she saw was a tired looking face instead of the awkward and wild look that her underlings always saw.

She was only nineteen, but she had learned how to be independent in the radiation belt since she was five. She had killed thirty-two people when she was almost raped at ten. By the age of thirteen, she followed a Pilot who was up to no good, yet she ran away from him after obtaining a technique from him. By the age of sixteen, she had already killed hundreds of people with her own hands.

In the radiation belt, one could not survive without being cruel. That was the truth.

“This kind of lifestyle is truly boring...” East Perrin shook her head as she tried to throw out the useless dilemma in her mind.

She then casually picked up an electromagnetic detecting instrument and walked to the corner of the room where the Mech’s leg was placed — the one that she took away the last time. Almost two meters of the thigh part of the body was black, and it gave off a natural cold and frosty radiation. This had only gradually changed within this period of time, and that made East Perrin very curious.

She had used many ways to try to open the missile chamber that was located in the Mech’s leg but it was to no avail. Even the with the strength of the larger cutting machine, it was unable to cut it open.

The hardness of this part had far surpassed any standard hardness scale.

She picked up the instrument and started to analyze the electromagnetic sensitivity in different areas of the part. Through the sensitivity result, she could combine it with other analysis to determine the weakest point in the part. She would then work her way up from that part, in order to save her time.

However, through her continuous research, she had found a strange regularity inside the frozen part.

Once, when she had accidentally spilled over the Life Support’s nutritional liquid onto the part, she surprisingly found a response from the radioactive instrument.

She had realized that the intensity of radiation on the surface of that part had a slight increased by 0.1 degrees.

“A response towards nutrients, eh?” She stood up and stroked her chin. “Let’s see how much of a reaction can you give off today!”

She then picked up a bottle of an overly concentrated, lower grade nutritional liquid which even the radiation people did not dare to ingest. She then proceeded tp opened the bottle cap. The greyish-white bottle contained the thick viscous nutritional liquid that resembled milk. It was so thick that it dripped out in a clump, and fell onto the center of the Mech’s leg.

A strange phenomenon occurred.

The surface of the part faintly glowed with a tinge of blue. However, the blue stood out more especially on the surrounding area where the nutritional liquid was dropped on.

East Perrin crouched down and got closer to the part. She could clearly see that the surface of the part was giving off a faint frosty-white air while it absorbed the nutritional liquid on the surface like a cotton.

The highly concentrated nutritional liquid was considered toxic towards the radiation people. However, the part wasn’t affected by the slightest. This made East Perrin extremely amazed.

Beep beep...

The radiation instrument beside her started beeping.

She reached out her hand and picked it up to see that the reading had increased once more.

“Its radioactive measurement has increased fifteen times more than the initial value. However, what’s strange is that this cold radiation seems to radiate half a meter out of its surrounding. Hehe...” East Perrin couldn’t comprehend such a phenomenon.

As she looked at thigh part that was quickly absorbing all the nutritional liquid, she suddenly had a wild idea.

She took a glance at the big bottle of nutritional liquid in her hand.

“Since you like this so much, let’s see how much can you absorb then!”

Out of curiosity, she opened the bottle and poured everything onto the leg.

Silently, the nutritional liquid kept flowing out of the bottle, but the moment the liquid came into contact with the part, the Mech’s part had absorbed all of them clean.

After that, East Perrin had lost interest in this item. She left for her bedroom after recording down the radiation reading. There were a lot of daily activities she had to deal with within the territory so she couldn’t neglect her duties by just focusing on her interest.

Within the pitch black space inside the Mech’s part where she couldn’t see.

Garen was in a fetal position inside the part. Due to his injury, it made his body become as dry as a corpse. However, blue thin lines were madly crawling out from his body and connected themselves to the inner wall of the Mech’s leg as it kept absorbing the radioactive nutrients from the outside.

Along with the absorbed nutrients, Garen’s body gradually started to wake up from deep hibernation.

The potential points and the residual inherited blue colored Willpower were still battling against each other within his body. On the other hand, the Living Secret Technique was slowly absorbing the nutritional liquid, growing stronger to the point where his body was finally recovering at a snail’s pace.

At first, Garen was on the verge of dying. Though after absorbing the nutritional liquid, he was finally able to restore his strength.
