Legacy World 8.24 Growth
Fortunately, Jeffery still had his hold on Angie’s waist. “Woah. That was close.” Angie would have fallen over and out of the jeep.
“Thanks, Jeffery.” Elias spoke before Angie could, while he pulled Angie back to his side to sit her down. “You should sit now. We’re moving off.” Elias said to Jeffery. Jeffery saw Conrad’s signal and promptly sat down where he was, beside Miryam.
The whole time, Angie stayed looking at Elias with a raised eyebrow. /Did he just thank Jeffery on my behalf like he’s my lover?/
[Well, he technically is.] BaoBao giggled.
She dropped her gaze at their still connected hands. He was holding onto her hand tightly, as if she would slip away from him anytime. /Oh well. He has changed./ Her gaze softened.

"Hold on tight!" Jeffery reminded everyone as he started to drift and swerve around corners, debris, and abandoned vehicles, without slowing down even a little. Although it generated too much noise that could draw more Infected over, it was not as bad as the chaos that the Infected caused behind them. The crashes, thumps, and thuds told them how the Infected easily got rid of the obstacles that the group had avoided. Brandon kept a close eye on the radar and told Jeffery which direction he could go. [Others are alerted.] BaoBao warned. He could see what the radar could not. It was no good. It was only a matter of time before the other Infected came investigating. They had to hide soon or they could get overwhelmed. "There!" Angie pointed at a
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.26 A Heartfelt Conversation
“You all will drive out on the final day. Look out for this string.” Angie held up a black string that was tied into a specific knot. “I’ll hang this outside the windows where there’s something to pick up.” “How ingenious. It looks like some of those weeds that are fighting to sprout in this desolate place.” Miryam praised her daughter as she took a closer look at the string. Angie took out a blade that was sharp enough to leave marks on the floor. “Assuming that the layout of this place is like this, I’ll clear the streets in this fashion. You can do the same. We’ll wait for you here. Okay?” Angie scanned the faces around. Everyone nodded in agreement. “Let’s eat a little before leaving?” Angie looked at Elias. “We’ll only stop moving if we have to, righ
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.27 A Possible Cure
Once Elias calmed down, Angie revealed almost everything, so that he would not worry about her needlessly."So.. You have super strength, super speed, and super recovery?" Elias summed it all up.Angie nodded. "Again, I don't know what happened but it started after that accident with Valerie." She told a white lie. “Then… Back then, when we dueled, if you didn’t hold back, you would easily win.” “Well… I guess so...”It dawned on Elias that he could not protect her like he wanted. Was there a way for him to get stronger like her? What could have caused the change?"You know… You're like a weaker version of the Infected. What if you were actually exposed to the virus during that accident, but you’re fine because you have natural immunity against it? It could explain why you didn't change completely and become like the Infected!" If that was the case, should he risk it? The problem was the consequence of failing. He could not afford to fail."I highly doubt s-" Angie cut herself off a
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.28 Thinking And More Thinking
Angie and Elias worked silently. They tried to minimise any squeaks and cranks. Cold sweat dripped down their faces, necks, and backs. Their hearts pounded from the suspense. [Leave now.] BaoBao suddenly warned. [They saw me. Three are coming your way.] BaoBao reported as he disappeared from sight. Angie and Elias were just done. Angie bundled up their loot together as quickly as possible, then stepped out of the control room. The moment they did, familiar noisy heavy breathing and footsteps that made their hearts drop, echoed throughout the area. How close were the Infected to them? Trusting that BaoBao would not have warned her without giving her enough time to retreat, Angie promptly stashed away the light stick deep into her pocket, which plunged them into darkness. She grabbed Elias’ free hand an
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.29 What? How?
One of the Infected backed out of the tussle and approached their building. Angie and Elias kept their eyes peeled. Was it going to enter? Suddenly, it punched the wall as hard as it could, clearly venting its frustrations. It sat down on the floor heavily, still breathing hard. Gradually, it turned its attention onto the one they had deemed as touch sensitive. It got up again to approach the oblivious one. The aggressor intentionally stood so close to it that it must have blocked whatever the oblivious one was interested in, because it finally looked up, only to have its face grabbed. “Are we about to witness bullying between the Infected?” Angie wondered aloud. “What's with the power dynamics? The ones around the base did not have this much… Personality
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.30 From Now On
"Is it something you can't tell me?" Elias suddenly said. "It's okay if you still don't feel comfortable sharing." He sounded so gentle, genuine, and considerate that it made Angie go soft."You suspected something ever since the rooftop, didn't you?" Angie suddenly changed the topic."How do you know?" Elias' eyes widened in surprise.Angie lightly laughed. "You have been especially considerate and careful with me since then.""Sorry for being so insensitive before...""Hey, you didn't know better."They gave each other a tight-lipped smile, then a short silence followed.Angie's gaze awkwardly trailed off elsewhere. She looked

Elias' slightly ticklish featherlight touch brought Angie out of her dark thoughts. She stared at him curiously while he continued to silently stare at her hand, which had eased up under his touch. "I may not have been there for you last time," Elias suddenly spoke, "but I promise to be here for you from now on." The guilt in his eyes made her sigh and smile helplessly. "Didn't you already promise my mum that? Or was that done with a fickle heart?" Angie teased him. Elias got flustered. "No! No! I meant it then and I mean it now too. I mean, I mean-" Angie's soft laughter cut him off. "I know. I know." She sighed and smiled warmly. "Thank you, Elias." Elias' expression lightened up and he smiled back. "No nee
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.32 What Can I Say
"Wait, where're we going?" Elias asked upon realising that the direction they were heading in, took them further away from their group, towards the borders of the city.An idea struck him. "There was a change in plans?"Just then, he got tossed off her shoulder. He grunted a little at the unexpected impact and snapped his head towards Angie to check on her.Angie had her hands on her hips as she paced about, panting hard. Large beads of perspiration rolled off her face and dripped onto the ground. Her mask had completely fogged up.Elias' brows soon furrowed just like Angie's. As much as he wanted to help, he felt equally powerless.Meanwhile, all that filled Angie's mind was her irritation with the mask and the state o
