Jamila's words made me feel quite confused. What does such a large business alliance want my help with?
And her tone was almost pleading. I quickly asked her, "What's going on?"
Jamila leaned forward and said, "Actually, our Adilai Alliance has always had deals with the Ascenders."
Hearing these words, it proved that the people in the Hanging Gardens were right. Karenina shouted, "You actually made a deal with the Ascenders and still want us to help you."
Liv comforted the angry Karenina. Jamila said, "You have to understand that our Adile Alliance has survived the outbreak not only by relying on our own business methods but also by relying on this filter. But about five years ago, those Ascendants came. They are so powerful that they are not even afraid of the filter. They forced us to work for them in exchange for peace."
I pressed on, "So what exactly are you trading?"
Jamila: "Please follow me."
Jamila slowly walked out of the carriage, and the nobles around her made way for her. I followed her.
Jamila continued, "We don't know why the Ascenders would want something like this."
Lucia said anxiously, "What exactly do they want?"
Jamila: "He asked us to provide live humans."
I couldn't help but feel very confused: "Huh?"
Jamila touched the walls of the room as she walked. "In the beginning, we made a deal with the wanderer settlement next to the train. We provided resources, and they gave us those who were about to die of old age, sick, or seriously injured. We put them in simple hibernation devices to keep them alive, and then gave them to the Ascendants. We provided at least 50 Ascendants every year. In fact, there were more injured, old, sick, and deceased people in the wanderer settlement. Sometimes, when nobles or civilians on the train were about to die, they would also give them to the Ascendants. But what makes me most uneasy is that in previous transactions, I always sent constructs to deliver humans, but this time, the other party actually came in person, and I feel very uneasy."
Me: "You feel like they're going to take the goods and kill you."
Jamila: "That's right, because the Ascended don't appear often. The last time he showed up, he killed quite a few of us."
Li: "Did he say what his name was?"
Jamila: "It seems his name is Gabriel."
I said regretfully, "It's not Roland?"
Lucia: "But he must be in cahoots with Roland."
Karenina scratched her nose with her hand: "No matter what kind of enemy it is, it will be reduced to ashes under my artillery fire."
Jamila smiled and said, "Ms. Karenina is very confident."
Karenina couldn't help but raise her chest proudly. Liv: "Do they want to use humans for experiments?"
Jamila: "I feel like if he wanted to do human experiments, he could have just taken us all back from the start. He must have a certain need for it. Besides, the Rangers are hiding very secretly. Even the Ascenders may not be able to find them. They are very small targets, so they don't need too many living humans. Recently, even the Rangers have become suspicious of us, so I don't think they will agree to the next transaction. It's better to resolve this matter quickly."
Jamila took us to the carriage we entered at the beginning. Jamila reached out and opened a box. Inside the box was a hibernation bottle containing a middle-aged man.
Jamila: "This man was a homeless person, but when he was collecting supplies, he fell from a height and became paralyzed from the waist down, so we replaced him."
Lucia, Liv, Li, and Karenina also opened other boxes to check. Every corner of the box would be marked with what happened to the person in the hibernation bottle.
In fact, most of these people's diseases can be cured by the Sky Garden, but I don't have that right, and I can't be a hypocrite.
The other members of the team also understood this, so they didn't say anything but just felt it was a pity. A little girl was floating in the liquid in the hibernation bottle with a smile on her face, but she had leukemia.
Suddenly I remembered, if I can make a contribution on this mission, can I make some requests? Treatment is possible, but living on the train is feasible.
I asked, "When will the ascendants arrive?"
Jamila: "It's a week later, outside this train car."
Ha, this Ascender is quite impressive. The filtration device is right here, and they dare to get so close? Karenina: "Since we still have a week, can we take a walk here?"
Jamila: "Whatever you want to do, as long as you're willing to help?"
I asked Jamila, “Where will we live then?”
Jamila: "I have arranged a noble room for your friends. It's on the right side of carriage 78."
Suddenly I had a bad feeling: "What about me?"
Jamila said charmingly, "Of course you have to spend the night with me."
Lucia held the knife in front of me and said, "As expected, you want to harm the commander."
Jamila said aggrievedly: "But he saw my underwear, he has to be responsible for me."
I hurriedly said, "It was you who attacked me first."
Karenina: "Eh~ That's terrible."
Lucia blushed and said, "So, did the commander see me? You won't let the commander be responsible."
Huh? Lucia, you said that as fast as a knife. I haven't even reacted yet. I could have said no! You're putting me in a difficult position. But I'm a little surprised that a construct can wear underwear.
