Re: Evolution Online

The two siblings first took care of all the corpses and burned them. 

Liam chalked this up to them taking some safety precautions in case there was a potential viral outbreak of some kind or some other kind of disease. Just like Alex, maybe they assumed the worst too.

However, he already knew that this was probably not the case. He might not be aware of anything like this out in the open world, but inside the game world, he had seen some corpses that had decayed in the same manner.

While he had been in the dark mage camps, there were several corpses that looked exactly the same. So there was probably someone nearby who was capable of wielding dark magic. 

Then what about the ability to mind control? How did that factor in?

Just as Liam was thinking about this, the siblings moved on from sweeping the hospital camp one more time to rescuing the prisoners.

The girl Lan Fen, who practiced ice magic, lifted her hand as she sent small bursts of frost aura in multiple directions. Immediately, the several chains binding the prisoners became frozen.

Lan Deming then produced another set of daggers, the one that had not been destroyed by Liam, and he ran around and broke the frozen chains individually.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

All the shackles and the strong metal chains broke apart and shattered without any resistance. Blasting each one into smithereens, the guy continued running around.

They first took care of the new recruits who had just been brought to this place. They then went inside to free up some more chained prisoners.

Liam silently watched everything, paying particular attention to the way the two of them used their skills. They possessed a natural ease that only someone who had practiced this kind of magic for decades would be able to achieve.

Or someone with a high affinity for mana and a superior mana core.

Liam lifted his hand, imitating the girl's action. He had never tried frost aura himself. He pointed his finger to a nearby rock, shooting out a burst of aura, and the next second, the rock was completely frozen.

"Hmmm… that works." He chuckled wryly.

The problem was that the two in front of him shouldn't be able to do these things with such ease. They might be weaker than him at the moment, but given time, they could become stronger, especially if his own strength stagnated.

Liam had no plans of letting that happen. Nevertheless, he was curious about the reason behind their strength. Were these kinds of skilled people even alive in his last life?

Or perhaps, by averting a disaster from befalling this province, he had triggered some changes to the current timeline?

Either way, he definitely wanted to get to the bottom of this. It was utterly impossible for someone to develop skills like this by just grinding in the dungeon for a few days.

So other than a dungeon, what other secrets were these guys hiding? Liam silently pondered while he continued to wait for some more time.

The duo took care of the newly imprisoned people rather quickly. They gathered everyone, asked them to wait, and promised them that they would take them to a safe place.

The people also attentively listened. They were captured like slaves and mistreated by the bunch of hooligans, so when these two appeared out of thin air and saved them from these monsters, they had no qualms about trusting them.

They simply did not have any energy left to doubt their good intentions. All of them looked blank and drained, unable to make sense of the world they were currently living in. They just needed to hear the word safe, and they were ready to follow along.

However, it was not so easy to deal with the other group of people, the men who behaved like soulless zombies and carried out all the orders without any handcuffs or shackles.

Liam was correct. It turned out that these people were indeed mind-controlled. No matter what Lan Fen or Lan Deming tried, they simply couldn't shake off their stupor. In a way, they were already gone.

The two siblings discussed things between themselves for a while, and in the end, they ended up deciding to bring them along to the camp anyway.

These mind-controlled people were kind of acting like robots at the moment. They were following anyone's command at this point. So it was rather easier to command them to obey than to understand their condition or cure them.

The two probably decided to deal with them later. Liam thought to himself with a small smile. He had no plans of intervening in these things.

He had seen so much more life loss. If he tried to tackle every single group that was doomed then he would lose sight of the bigger picture.

Instead, it was best to leave these issues to the small time do-gooders like the brother sister pair in front of him. 

After securing all the people from the hospital base, at least the ones who were alive, the duo once again loaded everyone into the same trucks and finally, walked over to Liam.

"Sorry to make you wait, Mr. Liam." Lan Deming politely bowed. "We are now returning to our base. Please allow me to escort you." He extended his hands and showed Liam the truck that he was driving.

"My sister will be driving the other truck, and we are both headed back to our main camp." He explained further.

"Ok." Liam nodded, but he did not walk toward the truck. Instead, he lifted his fingers and whistled. Immediately, a huge white creature descended from the skies, scaring the bejesus out of everyone, even the Lan siblings.

"I have my own ride." Liam smiled as he hopped onto the fox. "You guys can start. I will follow you."

"Ah… Alright." Lan Deming awkwardly nodded, as he rushed back to the truck. Without any further delay, the two trucks quickly roared to life and started moving.
