Jason, the ‘Old Man’ and Lauren Delder were walking in the wilderness of Area 30, one behind the other.

The entire area 30 is a vast wilderness. In addition to stones, there are gray plants. The former are hard and the latter are poisonous.

'Food' like 'bitter vine' can be said to be the only life in this wilderness.

"'Bitter Vine' was something Jin sent someone to teach me to identify before I entered Area 30. There are also some clean water sources."

As Lauren Delder walked, she whispered to the 'old man'.

"That guy knows Area 30 far better than anyone else."

The ‘old man’ said with certainty.

There is no doubt about this, Lauren Delder nodded immediately.

"Not only the 30th arrondissement, but also the uptown area."

"I feel like a fool."

"How did I have the confidence before to think that I could become that guy's collaborator, or even surpass him?"

Lauren Delder smiled bitterly.

Since suffering a series of blows, Lauren Derde's self-confidence has been greatly damaged.

I also learned to laugh at myself.

The 'old man' didn't mind this.

On the contrary, he felt that Lauren Delder was easy to get along with in this state.

"At least, you are still alive."

The 'old man' smiled and comforted.

"This is the only thing I can be proud of now."

"before……"

"It's really like sitting in a well and looking at the sky."

Lauren Delder took a deep breath and smiled.

yes!

He is still alive.

That's enough!

Is there anything more important than living?

That will naturally lead to a better life!

This is what he is now.

Involuntarily, Lauren Delder reached out and touched the two large backpacks on her back. Inside were the cans that she had originally brought, as well as the supplies that the 'enforcers' carried with them.

Many of them are good things.

For example: energy bars.

Although the taste and taste are average, one stick of this stuff can last a whole day.

Lauren Delder had only heard of similar things before.

If it wasn't for the 'old man' who explained it, he wouldn't have known what it was.

Of course, what makes Lauren Delder happiest is that there are also chocolates, sugars and instant drinks.

Who doesn't like chocolate?

Who doesn’t like sweetness?

When the two become one, who can refuse?

Lauren Delder couldn't think of it at all.

Anyway, he was full of expectations.

Because Jason had just promised him that after finding a new 'safe house', he would share a piece of chocolate, three candies and three packs of instant drinks.

Thinking of Jason's promise, Lauren Delder became full of energy.

Compared to Lauren Delder, the 'old man' is much more normal.

The boss of District 16 is enough to allow him to eat food that a person from a lower-class background like Lauren Delder would never dare to think of.

Therefore, the 'old man' now has other issues on his mind.

"Lauren, what's going on with the 'Freedom Army'?"

'Old man' asked.

Jason, who was walking in front, also paid more attention.

"I'm not very familiar with these guys from the 'Freedom Army', but I know that these guys are a thorn in Jin's side and a thorn in his side. 'Jin' has said more than once that he wants to kill these bastards."

Lauren Delder replied subconsciously.

However, after the words came out, Lauren Delder added in an unconfident tone: "I'm not sure if that guy is acting. After all, with the strength that guy showed, I feel that the 'Free Army' is no match for him.

"

"The 'Freedom Army' is far more powerful than you think."

"The history of their appearance in the ring city of the lower city of the 'Sleepless City' far exceeds the time of the appearance of 'Jin'."

"When I was very young, I heard about the 'Freedom Army'."

As the 'old man' spoke, he raised his hand and gestured at his waist.

That height is the height of a six or seven year old child.

"How long did it take?"

Lauren Delder looked surprised.

The big man’s former collaborator did not know the ‘Freedom Army’.

He knew about the 'Freedom Army' not long ago.

"It will take longer than you think."

"Because the person who told me about the 'Freedom Army' at that time was my father."

"He also heard about the 'Freedom Army' when he was very young."

The 'old man' said this.

"hiss!"

"Wouldn't that mean that the 'Freedom Army' is almost a hundred years old?"

Lauren Delder turned to look at the 'old man' for confirmation.

The 'old man' nodded.

"The history of the Free Army is beyond doubt."

"But the behavior of the 'Freedom Army' is changing."

"When I was young, the 'Freedom Army' was an organization that many young people aspired to, but when I grew up, it almost became an urban legend in the 'city that never sleeps'."

"By the time I'm old, it's become an urban legend."

The 'old man''s emotion made Lauren Delder scratch her head.

This big shot's former collaborator always felt that there was something in what the 'old man' said, but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.

After thinking for a long time, Lauren Delder finally chose to give up.

"What do you mean 'old man'?"

"Just say it!"

"It makes me uncomfortable to go around like this."

After admitting that she was not very smart, Lauren Delder completely let go of her so-called 'nihilistic self-esteem'. When facing the 'old man' and Jason, if there was anything she didn't understand, she simply asked.

"'Old man,' have you ever had contact with the 'Freedom Army' at that time?"

Jason, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

"Um."

"I've had a little bit of contact with it."

"However, it is too dangerous. I am a cautious person. After a little contact, I will stay away completely."

The 'old man' admitted frankly, but there was lingering fear on his face.

Because, when he was still young, when he came into contact with the "Freedom Army", the warning in his heart rang through his mind, just like an air raid siren, making him feel scared.

In fact, his prediction was correct.
