Chapter 1890

chapter1890

As soon as Wyatt heard that strange noise, he took a couple of steps forward, curious to see what was going on. But before he knew it, a sudden flash of red light burst above him, followed by a laser beam slicing through the air right toward him.

Startled, Wyatt jumped back just in time, narrowly missing the beam, and Miles, who was right beside him, managed to dodge it too.

When they looked down, they saw a deep pit where they'd just been standing. Wyatt's skin prickled with fear, his eyes wide. "That thing's got some serious power...'

He shuddered, thinking about what could've happened if he hadn't reacted so quickly. That laser could've cut right through him.

This place is supposed to be a quiet, old-fashioned village?

Wyatt was utterly confused.

The commotion had caused the gate to swing open again. The village chief glanced at the ground, then at Wyatt and the others, relieved to see they were okay.

Pressing a button on the doorframe, the chief finally spoke, "You shouldn't wander around aimlessly."

Wyatt cleared his throat, standing up straight to explain, "Sorry, I was just curious and wanted to have a look around."

"Sometimes curiosity isn't a good thing," the chief's voice was gruff, carrying a hint of warning. After that, he opened the gate wider, "Come on in."

Wyatt chuckled awkwardly and nodded, thinking there's only one word for this village: Weird! Not just the village, but the people too! Wyatt was the last to step inside, and just as the chief was about to close the door, Wyatt turned back, pointing at the laser gadget on the door. "I was wondering, what's this for?"

The chief latched the wooden gate with a clang and answered nonchalantly, "Keeps the wild boars away."

Keeps the wild boars away-

Wyatt was left speechless. Was that a sly dig at him? He glanced again at the chief. Despite his stern

demeanor, the chief looked quitonet?

honest and straightforward. Buthie words... Wyatt's ideal of simple folks was starting to crack.

The village chief, not bothered by Wyatt's thoughts, led them into the house.

As they stepped inside, the sensor system kicked in, and the lights flicked on- bright, but not blinding.

It looked incredibly high-tech.

Wyatt's face was once again filled with amazement, like someone who'd never seen the world.

Sure, this kind of tech is nothing special in big cities, but here? This is supposed to be a tucked-away countryside spot!

A place so remote, even GPS struggles to find it!

Forget smart systems; just having electricity would be surprising. Wyatt stood there in a daze until a clunky yet recognizable robot rolled over with a tray, snapping him back to reality.

Looking at the glass of water on the tray, Wyatt felt a weird urge to slap himself, as everything seemed so unreal.

He wasn't the only one confused; Miles was just as baffled, though he hid it well.

After all, this was an isolated village, yet both inside and outside were packed with high-tech gadgets that didn't match anything in the outside world. Anyone would be shocked.

The village chief settled into a chair,

pulling out a long pipe. He was about to light it when his eyes landed on Mirabella, and he snuffed out the match, saying, "Yesterday, another group showed up, claiming to be an archaeological team, and then they headed into the forbidden woods." Fresh chapters posted on F?ndNovel.net
