Chapter 189: 103. Passionate Wilderness
Translator: 549690339
The escape from suffering was like a rebirth.
But this rebirth was not all about peace and tranquility.
As soon as Noland Lee healed completely, he began to wander alone in the lush wilderness.
With the wind as his company and the grass as his mat.
When tired, he would sit down on the grass, resting his head on his arm to enjoy the blue sky. When thirsty or hungry, he would go to the river to drink, and fill his mouth with leaves and wild fruits.
With his “Tenacity” and “Vitality” significantly higher than ordinary people’s, there were no problems with drinking river water or eating raw leaves. The existence of Deconstruction allowed Noland Lee to cleverly avoid poisonous plants.
The first day, far from the bustle of the world.
While walking, Noland Lee reviewed the knowledge he gained from the passive Deconstruction of Greenshaw.
The joy brought by this tremendous gain was soon diluted by the trivialities of survival.
He felt like an animal, with no more social significance.
He had to worry about drinking, eating, and resting at all times, and constantly guard against wandering packs of wolves and wild horses in the wilderness.
The second day, far from the bustle of the world.
He began to understand why people are social beings, and started to miss hot meals, delicious iced tea, wanting a comfortable sofa and a sleeping environment without mosquitoes.
He was no longer charmed by the majestic beauty of nature, but instead felt disgusted with the primitive lifestyle, eagerly desiring to communicate with people and return to human civilization.
The third day, far from the hustle and bustle of the world.
His heart returned to tranquility.
He spent the whole of the previous day reminiscing about the beauty of the human world, but it also brought to mind many heart-wrenching and dark intrigues.
The fourth day, far from the bustle of the world.
He was once again repulsed by the primitive life, craving a hot bath and a soft bed.
The fifth day, far from the crush of humanity.
In his solitary contemplation, he understood philosophy and analyzed his own psychology.
He realized that his swinging back and forth between primitive life and civilized life was not his own problem, but was caused by human nature rooted in the human soul.
The sixth day, far from human habitation.
Um.
If he didn’t indulge in wild thoughts this day.
The engine roared at the edge of the sky, attracting all his attention, driving away all philosophical thoughts and debates in his mind.
“I’ve been walking for so many days, and at last I see a human figure-”
At a certain place in the southern part of the Fission Wilderness, Noland Lee stood on a low slope, looking north, following the movement of the convoy not far away with his eyes.
He ditched the supply pack before jumping off the cliff, along with it was a monocular telescope.
Now he could only use his eyes to observe the distant scene.
He was certain that the tiny moving black spots not far away were a relatively small convoy.
The speed of the convoy was fast, with about 10 vehicles in total.
Definitely not the steam trains of the Tatis Empire.
Noland Lee was certain of this.
Because the Tatis Empire’s classic cars can’t move that fast.
“I have to hurry over to see the situation before this convoy goes too far. Maybe, if I follow in their tracks, I could quickly reach a city in the Fission Wilderness.”
Noland Lee stepped on the soft soil, jogging in the direction of the convoy.
His right hand had been pressing on a package under his clothes to prevent it from falling out while running.
The contents of the package were all he had brought back from the Suffering Borderland.
Five days ago, he landed at the bottom of a cliff on the northern side of the Blade Mountain Range.
When he landed, he used his own body as a cushion, and shielded the potion with a ‘Magic Shield”, which was how he managed to save some Life Elixir.
After using the Life Elixir to heal all the injuries on his body, out of the original 60, now only more than 30 remained.
“These are my lifeline, and in the future, whenever I need to make a comeback, they will be the ones to heal me.”
Noland Lee felt the Life Elixir stashed close to his body through his clothes.
He felt a bit like Son Goku from “Dragon Ball”.
And the Life Elixir was the “Senzu Bean”.
Goku relied on Senzu Bean to make a comeback, and now Noland Lee had to rely on Life Elixir…
Always relying on potions to escape predicaments was not a solution after all.
The Life Elixir would run out one day.
He must find a replacement in the Golden Federation Mainland.
While jogging, Noland Lee recalled the information about the Golden Federation in his mind and furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Tatis Empire is a very secluded country.
Its people have hardly any chance to learn about other countries.
Like the customs of the Golden Federation, geographical features, the talents of Alchemists, the philosophy of Alchemy, etc. For most Empire people, they are all very unfamiliar.
Noland Lee did not find much clues from Kasha’s memories.
Instead, in Greenshaw’s memories, he found a lot of information related to the Golden Federation.
But it is limited to knowing the appearance of the locals in the Golden Federation, knowing that there is an illegal crossing point in the eastern part of the Fission Wilderness, and knowing about the existence of the Elemental Judgement, a wizard organization.
After all, Kasha is an investigator of the Division Intelligence Unit Two, who specializes in internal review in the Empire, and Greenshaw was originally a
Magic Wand Destruction Team Leader of the Military Intelligence Section Two. They both were not the agents of Intelligence Department 6 tasked with infiltrating the Golden Federation.
Their lack of understanding of the Golden Federation is understandable. Being unfamiliar with the place is just one of the problems Noland Lee has to face.
Noland Lee is not worried about the language barrier.
He has many Energy Points, enough to gain knowledge about the native language of the Golden Federation through Deconstructing Ordinary People..
