章節 149: Preparation for The Second Wave

My life's purpose isn't about preserving the human race; it's about ensuring my own survival.

— Alicia

===========

Unbeknownst to Hobe, Alicia observed his actions with a mixture of admiration and curiosity. Her eyes followed his every motion, captivated by the fluidity and grace with which he moved.

It had been quite some time since she had seen a human engage in such ordinary tasks, and the sight of Hobe's commitment to his routine was both comforting and jarring.

As Hobe continued his warm-up routine, Alicia couldn't help but voice her thoughts. "You're quite meticulous with your preparations, aren't you?" she remarked, her tone laced with curiosity.

Hobe paused for a moment, acknowledging Alicia's observation with a nod. "Years of training as an athlete have taught me the importance of being ready for anything," he replied, his voice steady and focused.
