That was dangerous, LeX said in exhaustion.
But as he remembered the horrifying fate of Alice, he could not help but feel bitter. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he remembered that he was unable to save her, and she died right in front of his eyes.
You tried your best, you don't have to feel responsible, Vera said as she saw his expression.
We only need to honour her sacrifice and ensure we survive in this place, and take revenge for her, Vynn added.
Hearing this, Lex hugged Vera tightly, while letting all his tears flow.
You don't understand, you all made me a team leader, I am responsible for you all.
I was so powerless, she was devoured alive, right in front of me.
I understand, and that is why you have to stay strong enough to avenge her, don't let her death be in vain, Vera comforted.
Although Vynn and Vera didn't show it, they were also feeling the pain.
Yeah, I need to stay strong, Lex said as he wiped his face.
You fracturers, be ready to face the wrath of a Vortan, he roared in anger.
Instead of staying with the other two, he went to another corner in the canyon, thinking of several ways to boost his strength and mana pool.
System, how many points did I earn from killing those fracturers earlier? He said mentally to the system.
The host has a total of 300k points in total, the system replied.
Purchase resources that can increase the mana pool with 50k points, purchase all basic knowledge on A.I., weapon making, mecha creation, spaceship engineering, Construction and mana theory.
The total cost for purchases is 250k points. Should Iproceed?
Yes, he responded mentally.
Suddenly, a surge of info entered his head, making him feel dizzy and wriggle in pain, to the extent that Vynn and Vera from afar saw him.
They rushed towards him, worried.
As they approached him, he suddenly raised his hands to stop them from coming further.
Seeing his hands up, they did not move closer. Although they were worried, they also had to respect his decisions.
Soon, he calmed down as he digested all the information the system had given him.
What happened to you? You scared me to hell, Vera said as she held Lex in her hands.
I am sorry to have worried you, I will try to control myself next time, Lex said.
No, it is fine. You just have to notify us next time, so as not to cause panic for us, Vera said.
So what now, Vynn said, arms folded.
Lex stood up weakly, but his gaze was firm.
Now we prepare, we will turn this canyon into a base, a fortress, and a sanctuary.
Now, that sounds like the Lex I know, Vera said with a smile.
This is no longer about survival, we are taking revenge for what they did to a friend, and for that, I will need your help.
Who is with me on this, he asked.
We are, Vera and Vynn responded.
