Chapter 1432 - That“s Enough


1432 That“s Enough

“Didn’t you say that as long as you get into contact with your Boss, you would be able to resolve the issue with the medicinal agents?” Doctor Ju looked at Zhao Jun with hope in her eyes. She hoped that she would hear some good news from him.

“But you also should know that there is no signal in Kamoda.” Zhao Jun’s expression darkened. Being the smart person that he was, he realized they were set up from the beginning.

Doctor Ju knew what Zhao Jun said was the truth, but…

“But with just my own strength, I can’t satisfy the amount you guys need to use.” She was worried. The amount of raw materials for medicinal agents she could gather around the area had been progressively decreasing. If the battle royale didn’t stop soon, she would have to go further away from the 7th Preserve District to find more raw materials. For a normal woman like herself, it was undoubtedly a difficult and dangerous task for her to do.

“I know… and I’m sorry. ” Zhao Jun sighed deeply. How could he not have known about what Doctor Ju was concerned about? In reality, if he didn’t have to pressure such a fragile woman so shamelessly, he wouldn’t do it. However, in order to save the comrades he fought side by side, he couldn’t help but be forceful in his attitude while putting pressure to this innocent woman.

As long as they could hold on until the end of the battle royale, he would definitely repay this woman. Zhao Jun surreptitiously clenched his fists and reminded himself to remember the kindness she treated them with in the past few days.

At that moment, Zhao Jun didn’t know that Boss Ling Lan was already rushing towards them with Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang.

“Did you get the right information?” Miles away from the 7th Preserve District, a large mecha clan was garrisoned in a valley.

“It’s correct. They are hiding in the 7th Preserve District.” The scouts team responded.

Bang! The regiment commander of the mecha clan struck the mountain wall with his mecha’s fist, creating a large hole in it.

“The 7th Preserve District shouldn’t exist anymore,” said the regiment commander in an icy cold tone.

“Regiment commander, what should we do?” the team leaders of the mecha teams around him promptly asked.

“Since they don’t want to live anymore, we shall satisfy them,” said the regiment commander mercilessly.

“But the 7th Preserve District is under Lord Demon’s protection.” One of the team leaders was hesitant. After all, Lord Demon was part of the alliance. If they did this, wouldn’t Lord Demon be dissatisfied with them?

“We kill them all and then push the blame onto Lord Gen.” The regiment commander had thought about his plan long before this.

“Understood!”

“Elder sister, Elder Father is looking for you.” Just as Doctor Ju finished treating an injured soldier, she saw Little Qing, who was a 12-year-old girl apprenticing under her, ran in with bated breath.

Doctor Ju’s hands froze in place. She turned her head with a stiff expression on her face. “He is looking for me? For what?”

“I’m not sure, Elder Father didn’t say,” said Little Qing as she shook her tiny head.

“Okay, I’m going right now.” Doctor Ju slowly stood up from her stool as she spoke. She calmly walked to the bathroom to wash her hands before going out to meet Elder Father. Although she looked outwardly calm, while she was washing her hands, her hands were slightly trembling.

‘Elder Father’ was a term of endearment given to the district mayor of the 7th Preserve District. He was given such a title because the reason why they were able to have a peaceful place to stay in an area of constant war was because of Elder Father’s capabilities. Even though he was their savior, personal details about Elder Father were not known to anyone in the district, it was as though he was shrouded in a cloud of mystery. They only knew to call him Elder Father because the older generation had always referred to him respectfully as Elder Father, so those who joined after also followed suit.

Elder Father normally wouldn’t deal with the affairs of the district, but once he said something, it was like an imperial decree that everyone must follow.

After walking through the door of a normal looking thatched house, she saw Elder Father sitting beside a fire pit with a branch in his hand. He looked as if he was grilling something. Not long after, a delectable scent of meat began to waft to her nose.

“Elder Father, you’re looking for me?” Doctor Ju surreptitiously swallowed her saliva before knocking on the opened door.

“Sit,” said Elder Father as he pointed towards the tree stub beside him.

“Okay.” Doctor Ju carefully sat down just as Elder Father had told her to. She carefully adjusted her sitting posture before staring towards Elder Father’s direction. Everyone in the district at her age were all brought up by Elder Father, so they all respected him greatly.

“I heard you saved some injured men,” Elder Father asked softly. He usually never interfered with the 7th Preserve District. He would just allow the children to do what they wanted.

“Yes, they saved me, so I couldn’t just leave and not ignore their call for help.” Kindness should be repaid, and similarly revenge should be taken if necessary. Elder Father had taught them that when they were very young.

“Yes, that is how it should be.” Elder Father had a light smile on his face, but it quickly turned into a look of reprimand. “However, all things must be done to a certain point. You shouldn’t overdo it, otherwise you would feel the backlash thereafter.”

Doctor Ju was confused why Elder Father was reprimanding him. She couldn’t understand what Elder Father meant with his statement.

“The 7th Preserve District was allowed to retain its peaceful state because we never got ourselves involved with the battle royales.” Elder Father gently patted Doctor Ju’s head, just like how he did when she was younger. “However, if we get caught up in it, then the 7th Preserve District will no longer be as peaceful as before. Little Ju, you will need to make a hard decision.”

Doctor Ju put her head down and thought deeply for a moment. After a few seconds, she raised her head with a look of determination in her eyes, “Elder Father, I understand.”

Elder Father looked at her into her deep eyes and sighed. “Fate comes and goes. If you want to do it, do as your heart says.”

“I’m sorry, Elder Father. I’ve disappointed you,” Doctor Ju felt guilty for her rash decision.

“It’s fine. I’m very happy you could make a decision. You’ve matured greatly.” Elder Father’s warm hand rubbed Doctor Ju’s head. The kindness and compassion in his eyes didn’t decrease by one bit, even after she made such a decision.

“If you want to leave, you should leave as early as possible. Even if they were to hide themselves well, those who want to know will still be able to find them. If you stay here any longer, it wouldn’t benefit anyone,” Elder Father reminded in a calm tone.

“I understand.” Doctor Ju was surprised by his words.

“Take Little Qing and the other children with you. It’s better for them to leave with you than to stay here,” said Elder Father.

Doctor Ju frowned slightly at his words. Little Qing was the oldest out of all of the children under 12 years old. The youngest in the district was only 7 years old. Was it really a good idea for them to experience the brutality of a battlefield where they might die if they were unlucky and live a path of bloodshed at such a young age?

“Staying here will only make them become common folk. The future of the 7th Preserve District’s children will be in your hands.” Elder Father seemed to understand what Doctor Ju was thinking and explained his reasoning.

“Understood, Elder Father.” Despite Doctor Ju not liking it, no matter how difficult Elder Father’s requests were, she still wouldn’t refuse it. At most, she would use her own life to protect Little Qing and the other children.

“Time is of the essence. Tell Little Qing and them to pack their things and leave immediately. Don’t come back unless the battle royale ends.” Elder Father was undoubtedly someone who was decisive.

“Okay, I’ll take them away immediately.” Doctor Ju felt the hurriedness in Elder Father’s tone, so she stood up instantly and left the room.

“Regiment commander, Doctor Ju is going to take the children and come with us?” After suddenly receiving Zhao Jun’s announcement, many of the team leaders didn’t understand why. They were here to fight a battle royale, not here to be babysitters for children.

“It’s my fault,” Zhao Jun’s expression was serious.

“Huh?” Zhao Jun randomly admitting to a mistake confused everyone.

“I was too simple-minded to think the 7th Preserve District was able to provide us some breathing room.” After Zhao Jun heard Doctor Ju telling him that she was going to take the children and follow them to leave immediately, he understood this fact.

The so-called preserve districts were only playthings for those lords. They could take these places out any time they wanted.

The team leaders immediately understood the meaning behind Zhao Jun’s words.

“We didn’t cause trouble for the 7th Preserve District, did we?” One of the team leader’s was frustrated. It wasn’t because they didn’t like those children. It was just that they felt taking children in the battlefield wasn’t a good idea. However, now, they understood that staying here wouldn’t be the best for the children either.

“Let’s just hope we still have time,” Zhao Jun looked at the setting sun in the west. He hoped that his worries were only just a thought.
