My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 207 Leah Decision

"You're right. Since the arrival of the demon. The world had been corroded. Although it can't be restored. Those with heaven marks had the greater privilege, that is to live in a better place…"

"Eden…"

"What about that….that…" Susan stuttered.

"Tree of life."

The word 'Tree of life' echoed in their mind as they couldn't believe a tree could give life existed on Earth. Even though they knew how absurd this was; they knew everything that came from his mouth was fact and 100 percent assured. Thus, there weren't any traces of doubt in their mind.

Watching them process the over gist of their current situation and how they handle everything calmly. Justin nodded and a calming smile appeared on his face for a moment before it disappeared like it never appeared in the first place.

"We have two important things that we must achieve with all our strength. Although I know it won't be easy… But we've got no choice." Justin began in a solemn tone.

"Previously, I didn't want to share this with you… Since I didn't know how you'd handle the situation. But your reaction was more than I expected."

Susan and Kira sat calmly and fixed their gaze on him as they listened with rapt attention. The upcoming battle would decide their fate. It is either they survive or die. There isn't any third option. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

"We don't know the location of the Light Bearer… That's the name I gave him or her. While also, we don't know the location of Eden." He continued.

"However, my intuition was telling me. It would be easier for us to find the Light Bearer than to find Eden… Besides, Eden was not just a normal place, it was a sacred place."

"It can only be discovered when we're worthy of it. And the criteria for being worthy can only be judged by the heavens. Thus, that's out of our hands."

"Leaving only the mission to find the Light Bearer before the Undead."

"So… We must dispatch a group to search for the light bearer in every city we come across. And also, we must not stay any longer than 2 days in a city before we move to the next city."

Huh!

Hearing this, Susan and Kira suck in a cold breath. Even though it looked easy from his mouth, they understood how difficult it was for them to move from one city to another with various deadly threats on the line. Furthermore, can they search a whole city in just two days?

"Can we extend the time period we spend In a city to 3…"Kira asked.

Hmm. Hmm. He shook his head. "I have thought about it. Our main priority is the light bearer. And with the way darkness is covering the city. Time is running out." His voice was grave, dropping the temperature of the room.

"So, I want you to talk with the others and come up with the appropriate plan and rescue team."

Susan and Kira suck in a cold breath for the umpteenth time as they look at each other and feel the mountain of pressure on their shoulders.

In the conference room, Leah's conflicted thoughts wandered back and forth as she couldn't believe what she just heard.

'Should I blindly trust the person I just met… Simply because of some kind of connection…'

Huh! She took a deep breath and rubbed her forehead, feeling the piercing headache. 'And… and… this soul connection thinks… why would it continue to force us together.'

She raised her head and looked at the empty room and wanted to get out and take some fresh air. But something deep within her was telling her not to go.

She twisted her lips and Susan's beautiful face appeared in her mind. 'How could she say such a thing with such a beautiful face.' She grumbled, biting her fingernail subconsciously.

She did not want to trust any human again and if she wanted to trust anyone, not this quickly. She sighed for the umpteenth time. 'I should try this one last time and see how it goes and if I ….'

Whoosh!

A blinding light appeared inside the room, forcing her to cover her eyes with the back of her palm. 'Not this again….'

"Have you thought about it?" Justin's voice echoed inside her ear.

Huh!

Leah opened her eyes slowly and saw the room filled with Justin, Kira, and Susan with them looking at her.

'Why is the atmosphere a bit different… Did something happen

' She thought.

Not knowing what was going on with the three, she threw the unnecessary thought out of her mind and straight back.

"You all know my experience and why it is difficult for me to trust people. However, you people look different and that connection thing… I'll love to trust you guys immediately but I think we should take it for us to know each other better." Leah completed her monologue and looked at the faces of the three for any changes in their expression but found none.

'What kind of situation is this… Did I say the wrong thing?' Her mind began to race. She knew if they decided to kill her, no one would question them. Besides, she truly wanted to trust these three but…

"That's ok. We aren't naive to believe you would trust us immediately. " Justin said calmly. "As long as you work with them and the development of the ark, you can decide if to trust us or not."

"We four are different from everyone inside the ark and that's what you must know. Thus, you should never do anything without them knowing…" He looks at Kira and Susan.

"Kira, assign her some role and take care of her as you take care of Susan."

Hearing this, Susan rolled her eyes and glared at Justin before she looked at Kira. 'Why must you say this in front of her…' She complains in her heart but her facial expression remains stoic and expressionless.

"You can trust me on that…" A bright smile appeared on Kira's face.

Meanwhile, outside the ark. Mark and the defense team were drenched in rain as they moved from one empty building to another, searching for supplies.

The cold gust of wind blew to their face and the dampened environment made the soldier grumble in their heart. Nevertheless, they continue to search the desolate area with utmost carefulness. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

'Why is everything empty?' Mack thought deeply as he knitted his brow.

Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the distance and everyone held their breath, leaving only the sound of water running on the street.

"What is that?" A voice said among the defense team.
