[Chapter 114: Perfectly Avoiding a Catastrophe]

Floyd was confused, but it was inconvenient to ask the Baron directly. Maybe he should ask other people?

He looked at Eva McKenna in front of him. This young woman seemed to be the most important assistant of the Baron. It was she who took him and others to visit the town yesterday and taught them how to heat and how to get water. I guess all kinds of things about Winter Town can be learned from her.

In addition, another woman named Peggy Carter is also a suitable person to ask.

“Speaking of it… McKenna… Carter…” He had never heard of the surname McKenna. Maybe she was the descendant of a fallen noble? As for the surname Carter, there were indeed nobles named Carter in the Kingdom of Tiran. The Carter family was in Green Willow Town, not far south of the capital.

What was the relationship between this Peggy Carter and the Carter family?

Floyd also remembered many people that Eva introduced to him yesterday. Almost all of them had surnames, even the chef Jonah Maiawa who worked in the kitchen.

Floyd was very curious about the origins of these people. Maybe he could get some answers from Eva or Peggy?

While thinking, Floyd had followed David to the farmland not far away, and met Mark Watney, one of the ‘people with surnames of unknown origin’ he met yesterday.

And… the magical creature called Squirtle.

“Hi, Mark.”

“Good morning, David.”

“Are you going to plant new crops?”

“No, just checking the condition of the soil.”

Floyd was a little confused listening to the conversation between the Baron and Mark Watney.

Floyd was not the only one who felt a little confused. Elias next to him also had a lot of questions in his head: Listening to the conversation between the two people, is this man called Mark Watney just a farmer?

“What’s the situation?” David, who had no idea that the two people behind him were in a state of confusion, also wanted to know the situation of the land.

If his guess was correct, with the upgrade of his gold finger, the land inside and around Winter Town would be affected.

Sure enough, Mark Watney gave a positive answer: “If my judgment is correct, the crops that failed before can now be planted.”

“This is really good news.”

In any case, it is a good thing that the land has become more fertile. This means that the farmers in Winter Town can grow more and more kinds of food with less land, and there are fewer taboos when growing.

“Yes, this winter we can eat any vegetables and fruits we want… Oh, by the way, if you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me in advance so that I can prepare it.”

“Strawberry!”

“Got it!” Mark made a not-so-formal military salute with his fingers in front of his eyebrows, then came to David and whispered his request: “By the way, if possible, let this Jenny find some compatriots.”

“Let me try!”

Pokémon’s IQ is not low. Pokémon like Squirtle can communicate normally except that they can’t speak human language.

The only question is, does this Squirtle recognize David? Is he willing to listen to him?

“It’s worth a try.”

He glanced at the Squirtle next to him and waved at it. Squirtle followed him happily.

David didn’t rush to discuss with Squirtle here, but walked all the way west to the Winter River. Looking at the calm lake in the distance, he signaled Floyd and Elias to wait in the distance, and walked to the river bank alone with Squirtle.

The two men stayed where they were obediently. After all, it was very open here, and they didn’t have to worry about someone suddenly appearing to attack the Baron.

As for why the Baron took a blue turtle to the river, this… they didn’t need to think about why, just stay here.

“How do you live here?”

Squirtle thought about it, smiled and nodded.

“Will it be too lonely without a partner?”

Squirtle lowered his head and thought, it really hadn’t thought about this question.

“Why don’t you go back… You know how to go back?” After seeing Squirtle return a look of “I’m not a fool”, he continued: “Go find some partners.”

“Squirtle!”

Seeing Squirtle think for a while and nodded, and also “talking” while gesturing, David looked for a while before he realized that it was asking “Can other Pokémon come?” “

Of course, anyone who wants to come is welcome!”

Squirtle nodded, raised his head and patted his chest (turtle shell?), looking like he was relying on me, and then pointed to the Winter River next to him.

David looked at the river surface and immediately understood what Squirtle meant. He raised his hand and released a punishment, knocking out a huge winter river shrimp.

Watching Squirtle go to the river to pick up the river shrimp, and then happily swim back to the shore, eagerly waiting to go to the cafeteria for dinner, David knew that Squirtle would not start working before he was full.

“Let’s go and have dinner!”

He walked towards the canteen of Winter Town. As for why he took a blue turtle to the river and stood there for a long time, and even caught a huge river shrimp, he did not explain to Elias and Floyd.

Anyway, as long as they can live in Winter Town for a long time, those questions will be answered.

If they can’t live there for a long time, then David hopes that they will never understand why!

It is impossible to expect him to explain on his own initiative. These two will not get that kind of treatment for the time being.

What he didn’t expect was that soon there would be someone who needed to explain the situation himself-just when everyone walked back to the town, David noticed that at the end of the town’s main road, a shadow appeared vaguely.

Very timely, Laura happened to be preparing to have breakfast and met David at the entrance of the canteen.

“You go in and wait for me first. Laura and I have something to say.”

In the previous situation, Elias and Floyd only needed to keep a distance and stare, but now David has given a clear order, and the two can’t stand aside.

Obediently following the order, he entered the cafeteria first. David and Laura walked a few steps to the side and made way for the cafeteria door.

“What’s going on?”

Laura had her back to the shadow and didn’t know what was going on. When David pointed behind her, she turned around and understood why David said he had something to talk to her about.

“Are there new people?”

“I don’t know, maybe Steve.” David hadn’t seen Steve and Fording since he came back this time. It’s not certain when Fording will come back to report his safety; Steve would come every day: “Peggy said he had something to talk to me about.”

If it was Steve, he could ask him what he wanted to talk to him about.

What David and Laura didn’t expect was that the person who came was not Steve, but a strange new face.

“There’s a new person.” Laura glanced at David and thought about his current situation: “I’m afraid it’s not convenient for you to contact new people now?”

“It’s nothing, just get rid of them.”

In fact, David thought further: with the construction and development of Winter Town, his territory will become larger and larger. If these alien visitors continue to appear at the entrance or the edge of the town, he will most likely not be able to find them at all.

It would be fine if these people came to find me, but what if they didn’t come to find me, and instead caused some trouble in the town? And what about when they left?

I wonder if these problems have been optimized with the upgrade of the gold finger?

While thinking, David noticed that the newcomer stopped and found himself in a strange place. He stood at the end of the street in Winter Town, looking around with a question mark on his face.

“Do you recognize who the newcomer is?”

“Yeah!”

David recognized the other person’s identity when he turned from a phantom into a real person. After all, the brown jacket and the split hair, plus the handsome face, are too recognizable.

“If I’m not mistaken, this person is Leon Kennedy, an agent.”

In addition, this famous Leon also has nicknames such as Li Sanguang, Vehicle Destroyer, and Village Slaughterer. When thinking of this, David was particularly glad that his Winter Village had been upgraded to Winter Town, otherwise something big would have happened.

“Agent? That’s all?” Laura felt that people who could come to David had some strange attributes, either because their own experiences were strange or because the world they lived in was strange.

Even Leonard Hofstadter, who seemed the most ordinary and normal, had a few strange friends around him.

“The world where this agent lives exists in all kinds of biological viruses. Mr. Kennedy is an expert in dealing with such things.”

“So that’s it!” Laura felt that this made a lot more sense, and at the same time she was going to take some time to go back home and search for all kinds of information about this person called Leon.

While the two were talking, Leon also noticed David and Laura, and walked up to them.

“Hello.” Leon first looked at the two. The man and woman in front of him didn’t look very old, about 20 years old, and they were good-looking and had good figures, which seemed a bit out of place in this backward little village: “Excuse me, where is this place?”

“This is Winter Town.” David took the lead in extending his hand: “I’m the mayor here, David.”

“Ahem~” Laura deliberately coughed a few times, as if to remind David.

“David Glamorgan.”

“Ahem~” “

Baron David Glamorgan!” He glared at Laura and introduced Laura to Leon in front of him: “This is Count Laura Crawford.”

“I’m Leon Kennedy, just call me Leon.” Leon saw the other party extending his hand and shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner, but the other party’s introduction made him confused: “Is this a joke?”
