Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 71: This... Couldn’t Be a Colleague, Right? Under Alina’s urging.

The vegetable seed in the flowerpot miraculously sprouted. Although it was just a tiny shoot, in this land of ice and snow where it was impossible to grow crops, it was nothing short of a miracle, symbolizing that life and hope were about to bloom in this land.

Alina was too excited to speak.

She knew, of course, what this meant.

They had tried before to plant some moderately cold-resistant plants in this icy place, but without exception, the freezing weather and extreme temperatures didn’t even give them a chance to sprout.

And now, this ability could directly catalyze a seed’s germination and further shorten the germination period.

Even in a place as warm as spring, it would normally take a seed several days or even a week to sprout after being planted, and... this had happened in an instant....

Alina’s eyes shimmered with a faint light.

For a moment.

It was as if she saw a new hope for the future of the Reunion Movement.

They were not afraid of the cold, nor were they afraid of the harsh living conditions. What they feared most was the lack of sufficient food.

And if the food problem was solved.

Then the Reunion Movement could venture deep into the snowy plains, completely avoiding the pursuit of the Infected Pickets. Even though living conditions would be much harsher deep in the snow, ... to be able to live without worry was already the greatest luxury for the current group of Infected.

*Huu!* 

*Huu!!* 

Alina’s breathing quickened. Even the usually gentle and quiet her couldn’t help but feel excited at this thought.

”Thank you!! Mr. Reeve!!”

An incredibly moving smile bloomed on Alina’s beautiful face. She was truly grateful to Lucas Reeve from the bottom of her heart. Although she had just met him, and... he was a soul that only appeared in movies, and though she didn’t know his purpose, he had helped her twice in a row. This was a tremendous kindness.

Alina etched it deep in her heart. Regardless of his motives, she would definitely find a way to repay him in the future!

”Don’t get too happy just yet. It’s only sprouted. There’s still a long way to go.”

Lucas Reeve was well aware that he couldn’t rely on this ability to solve the entire village’s food crisis in an instant.

After all.

Alina was just one person.

And the Originium energy within her body was truly limited. It was hard to say to what extent she could catalyze the growth, but at least it gave her hope.

”By the way, Miss Alina, what kind of village is this?”

At first.

Lucas Reeve had only thought that Alina was a simple village girl from a remote, ordinary village. However, while chatting on the way back to the village, he learned that this village seemed to be full of Infected. Lucas Reeve knew about the Infected; they were people with Oripathy. Ceobe seemed to have Oripathy too.

Lucas Reeve hadn’t been on Terra for long, and for the past while, he had been mostly with Jessica. And what kind of person was Jessica? A young lady of high society~ How could there be many Infected around her? So Lucas Reeve didn’t have much of a concept of this Oripathy. It was probably like a terminal illness; once you got it, you could only wait for death.

A village full of Infected, how pitiful...

However.

Just when Lucas Reeve thought this was just a remote village full of sick people, he encountered that man-shaped monster called ’Patriot’ at the village entrance.

*Hiss!!*

So this is a *truly* ordinary village, huh?

Does an ordinary village have something like that? What kind of incognito master is this?

After feeling the pressure from Patriot, even inside the room, Lucas Reeve didn’t dare to let his soul emerge from the bracelet.

Alina was taken aback, then immediately explained.

”I’m sorry, Mr. Reeve. I forgot to tell you. I thought Talu would have told you. Our organization is called the Reunion Movement. Talu and I founded it to take in the oppressed Infected who have fled from Ursus.”

”Ursus? We’re in Ursus?”

Lucas Reeve was stunned.

So this was Ursus. Jessica was in Columbia, and his main body seemed to be in Sargon.

”Eh? You didn’t know, Mr. Reeve?”

”I wasn’t sure.”

Lucas Reeve shook his head.

”I have a question. The one we met just now when we entered the village...”

Alina had a flash of understanding and said with a smile.
