Jamila was sitting at a table, Watanabe also sat down, and I followed suit.
Jamila smiled and said, "I'm sorry to make you go through this."
Me: “It’s okay, I just feel weird.”
Watanabe said, "The Sky Garden was originally a group established before the 'Sky Ladder Treaty'. They have close ties with the Kurono group that conducts human experiments almost everywhere in the world. Many of my soldiers' family members were shot and killed by Sky Garden soldiers when they forced their way into the Sky Ladder. Some were also deceived by Kurono into conducting human experiments and died there. So, I hope you can understand their hatred."
Me: "Sorry, I'm in Kowloon, so I basically can't get this information. Also, aren't you homeless?"
Jamila: "Mr. Watanabe and his group are the Forgotten, somewhat different from the Wanderers. They are mainly composed of soldiers, and many of them were rescued by Mr. Watanabe. Most of them are very hostile to the Sky Garden."
Watanabe: "I also know that the actions of the Sky Garden in recent years have been for the benefit of humanity. We have been wandering around these years and have seen too many ordinary people die. So, can you go back and talk to the people in the Sky Garden about allowing the homeless refugees to develop the two places you have seized? Although my words may sound a bit shameless, it is ultimately a win-win situation. I hope you can consider it."
I thought about it, there are indeed too few people in the Sky Garden. It will take a long time to rebuild the city relying solely on the few people in the engineering and cleanup teams. All parts will need manpower, so it is indeed an issue worth considering, and it can also enhance the prestige of our Sky Garden.
I said calmly, "I can certainly help with this. I'll definitely tell them once the mission is completed. Don't worry."
Watanabe: "Thank you so much. I can also provide you with some information about the Ascended. Based on my experience with the team members outside, I have seen three suspected Ascended. Two of them are basically non-hostile to humans. One is near the volcano in the Kaiat region, and the other is a whale in the Arctic Joint Route. I don't know about the third one because it is too dangerous."
Hearing these words, I couldn't help but be shocked. There are actually ascenders who have no ill will towards humans. What is going on? Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside.
Watanabe stood up and said, "Well, everyone, I'm leaving now. A sandstorm is coming."
I couldn't help but wonder, "Huh? Are those bugs here again?"
Jamila: “No, it happened naturally.”
I nodded: "Oh, then Mr. Watanabe, see you next time."
Watanabe waved to me and got out of the car. The Forgotten Ones followed Watanabe with guns in hand and disappeared into the desert. He is truly worthy of being a leader. His temperament is fundamentally different from others.
I asked Jamila: "What did Watanabe do?"
Jamila: "He, his father, and his brother were all members of the Isilbu Defense Force. His father seemed to be a general. It was said that as long as you made military achievements, you could gain access to the Ladder. Then his father died in battle, and the defense line was breached. When he asked for access to the Hanging Garden, he was refused and shot and killed his subordinates. He was also seriously injured and rescued by soldiers. Then, a Kurono scientist who he had rescued converted most of his body into machinery in order to save him. And Watanabe survived."
Me: "I thought you were going to invite him to defeat Gabriel."
Jamila chuckled and said, "The chances of winning are already very slim, there's no need to increase the number of deaths." Yes, there is no point in so many people dying.
I was just watching the sandstorm when Jamila suddenly said, "I made some delicious food. Do you want to come over and try some?"
I pretended not to hear: "The scenery outside is so beautiful."
Jamila tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, "Try it. I guarantee there will be no problem."
I was sweating: "The temperature seems to be dropping tonight, I have to go to bed quickly." After saying that, I quickly ran back to the room.
As soon as I entered the room, I lay on Liv's lap and thought about what happened today.
Liv: "Commander, do you have any concerns?"
I sighed. "From what Miss Jamila said, Gabriel is probably even stronger than Roland. I feel a little panicked."
Liv gently held my face and looked down at me and said softly, "It's okay, Commander. We will always be by your side."
Li: "Yes, Commander, we have always been together."
Lucia: "We will definitely protect the commander."
Me: “Everyone~” Just when I was moved.
Karenina said sarcastically, "You want to be a coward now? That's terrible."
I suppressed my anger and stood up with a smile: "Karenina!"
Karenina quickly explained: "I was just joking, don't touch my hair, ah! Woohoo, I worked so hard to tie it into a double ponytail."
I rubbed Karenina's hair hard and said, "You will sleep on the floor tonight." Then I lay on Liv's legs and fell asleep.
At this time, in the Forgotten Camp, Watanabe and his team members were hiding in a cave.
Watanabe: "Do you know what went wrong today?"
"No one should be shooting innocent people."
Watanabe: "Then who is our enemy?"
"Pamish."
Watanabe: "Originally, most of our resources depend on trains. Miss Jamila continued to trade energy with us because she saw that we are human beings and should not kill each other because of the trouble you caused today. With so few people, we simply cannot survive. You all should reflect on yourself today." After saying this, Watanabe walked out and stood in the yellow sand.
