Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

138: The people are united! Wu Tian tells a story!”What was that sound?”

Zhang Meng, who had been engrossed in studying ancient medical texts written in hieroglyphs, slowly lifted her head. The clamor was too distracting for her to focus, so she had to temporarily set aside the medical book.

She frowned and looked towards the door.

”What’s going on outside?”

”...”

”I don’t know...”

TheFat Man slowly narrowed his eyes, directing his gaze towards the entrance of the nearby sleeping chambers.

”But it seems...”

”The Atlantis people are all blocking the entrance, shouting something.”

”I can’t hear very clearly!”

Faintly... as Wu Tian, his two companions, and Kevin all strained their ears to listen to the commotion outside the door.

A few indistinct voices drifted in through the main entrance.

”...”

”We want to see the Little Princess!”

”We have something to tell the Little Princess, please let us in, we mean no harm!”

”Please!”

”Let us in!”

”...”

Then.

An old voice outside shouted with all its might.

”Young man, we truly have something important to tell the Princess. If we don’t say it today, we won’t leave!”

”We’ll just stand here!”

”Waiting for the Princess to come out!”

”Please...”

”Please!”

”...”

”No!”

The young and firm voice of a guard came from outside.

”No matter your reason, this is the Princess’s sleeping chambers, and according to the rules!”

”You cannot enter!”

”Please leave!”

”...”

”We... won’t leave!”

The old voice, though trembling, still spoke firmly and loudly.

”We just want to see the Princess once, say a few words, and give something to Her Highness!”

”It won’t take long!”

”Please... make an exception!”

”No!”

The guard still refused with a cold tone, his words even carrying a strong sense of resentment.

”Hmph!”

”Still want to see the Princess?”

”You all saw the Princess during the day, but because of you, the Princess has been in a coma and hasn’t woken up yet.”

”If we let you see her again.”

”Who knows what will happen to the Princess!”

”Go back!”

”Don’t shout and yell here!”

”You’ll disturb the Princess.”

”...”

Just as the four people inside slowly frowned, all thinking that since the guard had said so much, the Atlantis people outside the door should leave.

Thud!

A clear, muffled sound came from outside the door.

Immediately... the old voice, with a suppressed sob, continued to speak to the guard at the door.

”Please!”

”We...”

”We came to apologize, we won’t disturb the Princess, please...”

”Just let us in...”

”Please...”

...Wu Tian and the other three could no longer sit still. They all stood up and walked towards the entrance of the sleeping chambers.

Stepping out of the palace gate.

Under the faint moonlight, Wu Tian and the others finally saw the scene before them.

Hundreds of Atlantis people stood silently in the small square at the foot of the sleeping chamber’s steps, each holding a dark object in their hands.

And in front of this crowd.

At the bottom of the palace steps.

In front of the guard, an old, hunched man was kneeling.

He was currently pleading bitterly with the guard.

His old face was covered in tears.

”What’s wrong?”

Wu Tian’s faint voice echoed at the entrance of the sleeping chambers.

”...”

The guard was startled.

He immediately turned around to look at Wu Tian and Kevin, and said respectfully in a low voice.

”Your Majesty.”

”Prince Kevin!”

”Why are you here?”

”Hmm.”

Wu Tian nodded faintly, looked at the dense crowd standing below the sleeping chambers, and asked the guard.

”What’s going on here?”

”What do they want? Do they want to see the Princess?”

”Yes!”

The guard nodded.

He spoke to Wu Tian with some dissatisfaction in his tone.

”They insist on seeing the Princess, saying they have something to tell her face-to-face. They haven’t left for a long time, and...”

The guard looked somewhat awkwardly at the old man kneeling in front of him and said.

”This...”

”This old man is even kneeling in front of me, insisting on seeing the Princess.”

”He won’t get up until he sees her!”

”...”

Wu Tian nodded slightly upon hearing this, then walked down the steps expressionlessly and stood in front of the old man.

”...”

The old man was startled.

Wu Tian’s tall and indifferent figure made him somewhat intimidated. For a moment... he couldn’t utter a single word, nor did he dare to make any sound.

”Come...”

After a long while, Wu Tian slowly squatted down.

He reached out and supported the old man’s arm.

He forcibly pulled the latter up from the ground.

Although his voice was not loud, it was unusually cold as he spoke in front of all the Atlantis people.
