Chapter 934: Two Blooming Flowers, Each Showing a Different Branch, One Branch Lovelier

After the airlock door closed with a low whoosh, the corridor of Exodus fell silent for a moment, then a soft footstep sounded from around the corner. When it stopped, Bohemia peeked her head out from behind the corner.

She had just taken a shower, and her long golden-brown hair still glistened with semi-dried water droplets. The waves in her hair were even more p.r.o.nounced than usual, and her skin appeared even paler, with a hint of milky whiteness. She glanced towards the airlock door, breaking the tranquility. "Silas, did she just leave?"

"Yes," Silas replied.

Bohemia immediately felt a bit annoyed and wrinkled her face. "That person is so annoying," she muttered under her breath, making sure Silas couldn't hear her. "I'm not staying either. I'm leaving... I'm not stupid."

Whether it was Silvan, who had been rendered unconscious by her surprise attack, or the Puppeteer who might wake up at any moment, she felt uncertain and uneasy. The Chicky brothers and that guy—what was his name again?—Gla.s.ses, they all seemed like weaklings who couldn't be relied upon in a fight. If those two woke up, she would surely be their primary target.

But leaving like this, she also felt a bit reluctant.

"Did Lin Sanjiu say when she'll be back?" Bohemia hesitated and asked, "Maybe I'll go out for a walk and come back..."

"No," Silas calmly dismissed her idea.

It seemed she would have to stay outside for a few days to avoid drawing attention.

"When Silvan wakes up, remember to let me know," she didn't want to accidentally run into her own victim.

"Understood," Silas replied softly.

Bohemia made up her mind and felt much more relaxed. While contemplating what to pack and take with her from the room—it wasn't stealing anyway, she would be coming back with these things—she walked towards her own room.

In the fifteen minutes of packing, she didn't stop talking. Her preferred style of clothing always ensured she had enough pockets, and since moving into Exodus, she could always find a variety of snacks in each of her pockets.

Children who grew up in the apocalypse had the stomachs of gra.s.sland wolves. Like rubber, she could eat astonis.h.i.+ng amounts without feeling full when there was food available. But when there was no food, she could go for weeks without eating a morsel.

That's why Bohemia had gained a bit of weight recently.

After emptying her pockets filled with chocolate b.a.l.l.s, sweet rice cakes, and salted cashews, she took everything she needed. As she walked into the lobby of the accommodation area with a cloth bag slung over her shoulder, Silas's voice suddenly rang out, "Silvan just woke up."

Bohemia's heart froze—pa.s.sing through the lobby was the only way for all the room occupants to leave. She stood still, lowered her voice, and anxiously asked, "Where is he now?"

"He has already entered the R13 corridor," Silas replied.

She lowered her head and happened to see the large "R12" inscription on the ground beneath her feet.

d.a.m.n the system for not mentioning it earlier!

Regardless, this was not good. She needed to find a place to hide quickly. Silvan must have realized that his prolonged unconsciousness was suspicious, after all, any posthuman would be suspicious... Bohemia quickly scanned her surroundings, but the open lobby was square and empty. If she simply walked out like this, she would soon be exposed to Silvan's sight with nowhere to hide.

She furrowed her brow tightly, a.s.sessing the distance she needed to run. No, he would be able to see to the end at a glance... She didn't have the confidence to run through two empty corridors before Silvan could spot her.

Although Silvan made almost no sound with his footsteps, she could already sense him getting closer. Just as she was panicking, thinking that she was about to be caught, a turning point suddenly appeared ahead.

A gust of wind swept into the lobby, and the two control capsules, like boats riding on waves, were carried by the wind and rushed towards Bohemia. The two cauliflower-like, trembling and voluminous heads came into view, and she instantly breathed a sigh of relief—her idea came to her just in time. With a push of her foot on the ground, she swiftly dashed towards the floating capsules. She reached out and grabbed the collar of one of the Chicky brothers, throwing him to the ground.

Bohemia's movement was incredibly fast. By the time she leaped into the control capsule, the Chicky brother on the ground had just managed to let out a groan. As she pulled the control lever forcefully, lifting the floating capsule straight up to the ceiling, the other Chicky brothers glanced at her and hastily climbed out of another capsule. As he helped his brother stand up again, Silvan entered the lobby from the other end.

Bohemia's back pressed tightly against the ceiling, and the floating capsule was positioned exactly between two built-in light tubes, not casting any shadows. She held onto the control lever tightly, exerting so much force that it felt like she might pull it off. She didn't move an inch and dared not make a sound as she stared intently at the blond figure coming directly below her, who stopped beside the Chicky brothers.

"You guys are..." Silvan's voice still had a slightly hoa.r.s.e, groggy tone as if he had just woken up. He sounded rare, like a bewildered teenager. "Friends that Lin Sanjiu brought back?"

Her ability was quite impressive, and even in this critical moment, Bohemia didn't overlook this fact. Not to mention letting him sleep for so long, he still seemed a bit drowsy upon waking.

The Chicky brothers exchanged a glance, seemingly finally understanding the situation. Fortunately, they were sensible and didn't look up again. "We are her employees."

"It's our first time piloting. We accidentally fell down," Bohemia said.

Just awakened from a long dream, Silvan seemed to take two seconds to process the answer before responding, "Because this is designed for one person."

The Chicky brothers nodded awkwardly and expressed their grat.i.tude. They bid farewell to Bohemia, who was still on the ceiling, as they walked out of the lobby.

As Silvan's figure disappeared, Bohemia immediately let out a long sigh of relief and released her grip on the control lever.

"You guys made the right choice," she praised the brothers while the floating capsule descended from the ceiling. "You would have been in trouble if you had betrayed me."

Before the words had even finished, a sudden force pushed her back forcefully against the chair. The wind blew through Bohemia's long hair as the surroundings rapidly receded and disappeared. In the chaos, the Chicky brothers were instantly thrown backward. In a hurry, she tapped the control panel a few times and muttered, "What's going on?"

"Proceeding according to the pre-set route, estimated arrival in three minutes," came Silas's calm voice from inside the floating capsule. "Please remain seated, we are currently in high-speed mode."

"Cancel it," Bohemia impatiently tapped the chair. "I want to get off—wait, no, don't cancel it."

If she went out now, wouldn't she encounter Silvan? Well, she would just wait for three minutes. Perhaps the Chicky brothers were too lazy to drive on their own and wanted to go to a cafe or something... She leaned back in the chair and reached out to grab a bag of shrimp chips.

Three minutes later, the floating capsule slid into a silently opened door and descended to the ground. Bohemia, with her mouth full of shrimp chips, lifted her head and gazed at the narrow and empty room in a daze.

The door closed behind her without a sound.
