Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL) - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Meeting Astrid Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Meeting Astrid After a day of driving, they were finally near the hill that was mentioned in the book.

“Where are we going to rest this time?” Luciel said while looking outside, which was getting darker.

It wasn’t even evening, but it was already getting dark because the visibility was still low.

“We are going to stop by the café overlooking the tech hub.

We could see the situation of the tech hub on the second-floor view deck of the café,” Treyton said.

“Oh, you knew that place quite well.

Did you go there before?” “Yeah, I just went there once because some of my cousins wanted to go there, and I was tasked to look after them,” Treyton said.

“I see.” No wonder Treyton’s cousin, who was only 12 years old, knew about it and hid there with her friends.

According to the novel he had read, Treyton’s cousin, who died frozen, was a 12-year-old girl who was treasured in their family.

Treyton’s family rarely had girls, so if a girl was born in their family, they were more cared upon compared to the others.

However, because they were afraid that Treyton’s cousin would be like Treyton’s mother, even though they were very good to her, they were all afraid that they would spoil her too much.

So, they arranged for Treyton’s cousin to experience more about life by putting her in boarding school in middle school.

They planned well, but unfortunately the apocalypse came, so their good plan became the source of tragedy.

They arranged for Treyton’s cousin to study in another province, so it wasn’t that far from the north, but when the apocalypse came, such distance wasn’t easy to cross for ordinary people.

Treyton’s cousin was brave and was determined to return to where their family was, so together with two friends, they traveled towards the north base.

They managed to survive all the way and were already near the north base; unfortunately, they died because of the extreme cold.

“We’re here; let’s go,” Treyton said after the RV stopped.

After Luciel heard what Treyton said, he wore his thick coat and went out with Treyton and the others.

Treyton and the others didn’t need to go out and clean up zombies first because the zombies were also frozen because of the weather.

Most of them were unable to move from their positions because of the accumulated snow.

Zam was also the first one to step outside to solidify the snow so that they could properly walk on it.

Zam solidified the snow, so it also prevents them from being attacked by zombies that might be under the snow.

All of them went to the café and were still careful because there might be zombies inside; however, they didn’t find any zombies on the first floor.

“There’s really no zombies here on the first floor,” Myla said.

“And I can only sense three presences on the second floor,” Nate said.

“Go and deal with them,” Treyton said.

Nate only detected 3 presences, so Mark and the others volunteered to go and deal with the zombies upstairs.

Mark and the others went upstairs while the others began cleaning up the first floor to have a place for dinner.

Luciel and Treyton hadn’t even found a place to sit down when Mark ran down and said, “Boss!

There are no zombies upstairs; there are only 3 kids!” “Kids?

Bring them down here,” Treyton said.

“Boss, we want to bring them down here, but they were too wary and don’t want to go with us,” Mark explained.

“Then let’s go and see them.

Nina, Nichole, come with us.

They might have been too wary because they only saw muscular men,” Treyton said.

Mark and the others from the gym were all muscular, so it’s right to assume that kids might be wary of them because of their build.

“I’ll go too,” Luciel said.

“Ok, then let’s go,” Treyton said and started going upstairs.

When all of them went upstairs, they could already hear the refusals of the kids that Mark mentioned.

“We don’t want to go down.

We will stay here.” “Uncles, you don’t have to persuade us.

We don’t want to go down.” “We won’t bother all of you.

Please don’t bother us.” Luciel and the others could clearly hear the vigilance of the kids that were speaking.

When they arrived at the room where the kids were, Luciel and the others could see that all the kids that Mark mentioned were all gathered at the end of the room.

The three kids were all looking at them with vigilant eyes while holding weapons in their hands.

Two of them were carrying iron rods, while the one at the center was holding a dagger.

All of them were wearing dirty clothes that were covering them tightly.

They were all wearing hats and other clothes like scarves.

Their faces were also dirty, and their voices were also lowered, so it was hard to tell their genders.

“Hello, we are just passing by, so you guys don’t need to be wary of us.

We are going to leave tomorrow morning.

They are just inviting you guys for us to ask some questions about the places you guys went through,” Treyton said in a gentler tone and quickly explained their purpose, hoping to lessen their fear.

In the past 2 months, whenever they stopped by a place where some people were already there, they were always asking questions about what they had encountered.

They even talked to people who were also driving somewhere as long as the other side was willing to talk to them.

Most of the people they encountered were also willing to say a few words to them as soon as they saw Nina and the kids with them.

They were all obviously wary, but they also needed to gather some more information, so most of the time they exchanged some information about the places they had already passed by.

Of course, they also encountered people with bad minds, but they were deterred by the presence of Treyton and the others.

So, Luciel and the others also couldn’t blame the kids for being vigilant because they would likely be harmed if they weren’t vigilant.

“You can ask your questions here.

We won’t go down,” the kid on the right with a rod said.

“Yes, we won’t go down with you, uncles.

Please answer your questions here.

If we know something about it, we will surely tell you,” the kid on the left said.

Their tone became milder, which obviously meant that Nina and Nichole’s presence was indeed helpful, but they were still vigilant and wouldn’t go with them.

The two kids already spoke, but the kid at the center still hadn’t spoken and was just staring at Treyton.

“Do you want to say something to me?” Treyton said to the kid who had been staring at him.

The kid still didn’t say anything until the kid was nudged by the other 2 kids.

“C-cousin Treyton, is that really you?” the kid finally asked while still staring at Treyton.

“I’m indeed Treyton, but who are you?

Can you tell me your name and your parents’ names?” Treyton said while looking at the kid and trying to recognize who the kid was.

Unfortunately, the kid was fully covered, and the kid’s face was also dirty, so Treyton doesn’t seem to recognize who the kid was.

Luciel couldn’t even see their features properly, so of course Treyton also couldn’t tell who the kid was.

However, after the kid asked Treyton, Luciel was already sure that the kid was indeed Treyton’s cousin who died in the novel.

It seemed that fate was on their side, and Treyton successfully met this cousin of his.

“Cousin, it’s me, Astrid!” Astrid said while letting go of the dagger she was holding.

Astrid also removed her hat for a bit.

“Astrid?

It’s really you.

What happened to you?

How did you arrive here?” Treyton said while going to where Astrid was.

It seemed that when Astrid mentioned her name, Treyton finally recognized her.

Astrid didn’t say anything and just hugged Treyton while crying.

She was crying really hard, as if to vent all the hardships she had suffered.

“Okay, stop crying, Astrid.

Let’s go down; Calvin is also below,” Treyton said while patting Astrid’s head.

It was very obvious that Treyton wasn’t used to coaxing crying kids and was trying to divert Astrid’s attention.

Astrid cried for a while before she finally stopped crying.

“Let’s go down and meet the others,” Treyton said.

“It’s okay.

He is one of my cousins,” Astrid said to the other two kids who were with her.

After reassuring the other two kids, they were finally willing to go down with them.

As soon as they arrived downstairs, Treyton called Calvin, “Calvin, Astrid is here.” Instead of Calvin, who was called, the first one to react was Nathan.

“Astrid?

Your cute cousin?

Are you telling me that she is Astrid?” Nathan said while looking at the dirty kid who was holding Treyton’s hand.
