Chapter 34: The New Crisis

“There’s… There’s such an operation?”, Laura was stunned by Hubert’s wonderful idea.

She didn’t expect that Hubert would think on so many tricks just because of the mutation of her hair.

Was this really something that a human could come up with?

Laura looked at Hubert with a strange gaze. If it was possible, she really wanted to open Hubert’s head and see how Hubert came up with these methods.

“These are just the basics. There is no mutation of garbage, only the garbage users. As long as they are willing to think, they can always create miracles.”

Hubert said to Laura.

After thinking for a while, Hubert said to Sophia, “You are the same. Although the strengthening is more specific, as long as you are willing to study, you can always play an unexpected role.”

“I understand.”, Sophia nodded to show that she understood.

“Okay, now pick all the fruits. I will be in charge of picking them, and you guys will be in charge of collecting them.”

As Hubert said that, he flew to the tree to pick the fruits.

After failing to pick one, he threw it to Sophia and Laura.

Sophia and Laura put the fruits into their backpacks.

Sophia’s dynamic vision was enhanced, so she could even see the high-frequency vibration of a fly’s wings, not to mention the fruit that flew over. It was a piece of cake for her to catch the fruit empty-handed.

Although Laura was not as agile as Sophia, she had a good idea, which was to spread out her hair and turn it into a large net, which was placed on her head.

The edge of the net faced up, and from a distance, it looked like a magnified bird’s nest. Laura used the magnified bird’s nest to catch the fruit, and it was successful.

Soon, all the fruits on the tree were picked up.

Hubert checked about 150 fruits, which should be enough for the main members of the church to level up to level 2.

After collecting the fruits, Hubert looked at the sky. It was already dark. If they were to travel at night, they would encounter many nocturnal monsters, which would increase the danger out of thin air. Therefore, Hubert decided to stay in the valley for a night, they would set off tomorrow at dawn.

Sophia had always listened to Hubert’s advice.

Laura had nothing to do, so the few of them hit it off and prepared to spend the night in the valley.

Spending the night in the wild was not a difficult thing for people like Hubert who had lived in the Cataclysm for five years.

Sophia was also a camper in university, so it was common for her to spend the night outdoors.

Laura was a bit less experienced, though she shared the same name as a girl who excelled in extreme sports.

Her longest camping experience was when the family went camping in Yellowstone National Park as a child.

Laura was a good cook, though.

A few cans and a few tomatoes were a good dish.

When Hubert saw Laura take out a can full of spaghetti from her backpack, he knew why Laura had turned into spaghetti.

To bring spaghetti to the wild, this could be considered a deep love.

Of course, it had to be said that Laura’s spaghetti was quite good. Hubert felt that it was even better than some of the chefs in Michelin restaurants.

“Of course, my mother is an Italian immigrant. This is the most traditional way of cooking in my hometown.”, Laura said proudly. “I can guarantee that only we Italians can make the best spaghetti.”

After dinner, they decided to take turns keeping watch.

Hubert was on the first shift. Sophia and Laura went to sleep first.

After a while, Laura came to Hubert’s side and sat down.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”, Hubert asked.

“I can’t sleep. Can I ask you something?”, Laura suddenly asked with a serious expression.

“What is it?”, Hubert fiddled with the bonfire to make it bigger.

“What is your goal?”, Laura asked.

“Goal?”, Hubert was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it seriously.

His initial goal after his rebirth was actually very simple. It was to obtain the strongest bloodline and then use the advantage of being a prophet to make his life better.

However, as he advanced step by step, he also made a lot of good friends. Father Marlin, naughty little Chloe, obedient Sophia, a little shy Linda, Aunt Miranda who cooked very well, and so on. It seemed that he was too lonely by himself, it was also a good thing to bring them through the crisis together.

“Take my friends and live in this disaster. If possible, save more people.”, Hubert said after thinking for a while.

“Really?”, Laura’s eyes lit up and continued to ask.

“Of course. Is it necessary for me to lie to you?”, Hubert asked with a smile.

“I remember you said that you came from a sanctuary. Can I join? I won’t join for free. You know, I’m good at making pasta, I can also bake pizza, and I can do many things,”, Laura said.

“Of course, our sanctuary never rejects any kind person.”, Hubert extended his hand to Laura. “Welcome to the sanctuary of St. Raphael Cathedral.”

“Thank you. I’ll work hard to become a member of the sanctuary.”, Laura said excitedly.

“Since you’ve become a member of the sanctuary, you must complete every mission of the sanctuary. Now, Miss Laura, the sanctuary will assign you the first mission. Are you confident to do it well?”, Hubert asked with a smile.

“Of course, no problem. What is the mission?”, Laura asked.

“Go to sleep. Take over the night watch in the early morning.”, Hubert said.

“I understand. I will go now.”, Laura returned to her seat, covered herself with a blanket and went to sleep.

After a while, there was a snoring sound from Laura’s seat.

The night passed very quickly. Hubert got up early the next morning.

Laura excitedly made another meal of spaghetti.

Hubert sighed. Laura really loved spaghetti deeply, and there was a reason why she ended up turned into a spaghetti girl.

After they ate their fill, they returned to the road according to their original route.

Hubert and Sophia’s bikes were still parked by the roadside, and no one noticed.

However, this time, with the addition of Laura, the two bikes were obviously not enough. They could only push them back.

At noon, the group returned to St. Raphael’s Cathedral.

As soon as Hubert entered the church, he found that the church was gloomy and depressed. Many people looked listless.

Seeing the group of people like this, Hubert felt a little strange. He quickly went to find Father Marlin and asked what happened in the church when he was not there.

“Something really big has happened. Mayor Howard has issued a decree announcing that he will take over this place. Everyone here will head to the west city refugee camp to be resettled.”
