章 1008: The Gathering Night

"I'm starving," Amber said. "Should we eat something?"

"Great idea," June said.

The group gathered around the table and brought out the provisions the Chimaeric Demons gave them.

They didn't need to be cooked, and, since the Chimaeric Demons following them turned into large beasts, carrying them wasn't hard.

The clones basically gave Erik four months' worth of food, ready to be eaten. Each member of the group picked at their food, their minds wandering as they chewed, lost in their own thoughts and perhaps contemplating the situation they were in.

Mira broke the silence. "I just don't get it. We've been searching for days, and there is still no sign of this damn base. Didn't your clones say it was in this sector? And Emily's vision confirmed it should have been in this area."

"Maybe we were mistaken in assuming it was here because of that orchid."

"No. The orchid was a valid clue. I'm sure it's around these parts."
