Chapter 86: Return
As I approached the border, I could feel the density of the trees decreasing.
The same thing happened last time when I went from the forest to the city. The same thing is happening now.
If my tracker hadn’t been destroyed, I wouldn’t have to walk like this. Aside from tracking movements and recording performance, the device also had the purpose of enabling access to the facility at the border.
Anyway, what can I do? I am glad that I survived in the jungle for six months and came back safely.
Isabella should also be back by now, even though her tracker was destroyed by those assholes.
On my way back, I saw clearly the walls enclosing the forest.
While I was in the village, Amelia told me that the forces and the powerful animals in the jungle had an agreement. Stronger humans could not enter the jungle.
Only low-level power users and mid-level power users may enter the jungle. This is because both humans and animals can develop in this environment.
The walls surrounding the forest were so tall that no one could jump over them.
Sometime later, I heard a warning directed towards me.
“Stop by your place,”
I didn’t know who warned me, but I yelled to let them know.
“Stop, I am from the forces.”
Moving slowly towards the wall, I raised my hands in the air. My hands were even holding a card the forces had given me.
Then I saw that several soldiers were pointing guns at me. I knew they were all on alert.
“This is my ID card. You can check it out,” I shouted as I waved the card in front of them.
The officer standing at the wall looked at me for a moment before nodding. He then whispered something to his subordinate.
A short while later, the gate in front of me was opened. A few soldiers came toward me with guns in hand.
“Come with us,” the soldier said to me.
As I moved towards them, I nodded at him. They quickly surrounded me and we walked to the gate.
They were really taking the caution against me. However, they are powerless against me. I can kill them instantly.
After so many days and so many fights with so many animals, I am not the same person I once was.
But anyway, I have nothing against these soldiers for performing their duties.
Walking for a bit, I arrived at the same view that I had seen before entering the jungle.
In an isolated building, I was guided to a special room. I knew I would be questioned, but I was prepared.
As with any guest room in any organization, this room was no different. It was fully air-conditioned and had a comfortable couch.
As the soldier left, he told me to wait in the room. Sitting on the couch, I consented.
As I looked around the room, my eyes were drawn to the camera in the corner.
However, I was not concerned whether they monitored me or not.
Despite my status as a trainee, the respect I am receiving is excellent. Any member of the special forces is an asset to this world.
While I waited for a while, I recalled my time in the jungle, when I struggled to survive. Just getting to sleep was near impossible.
An image of that waterfall suddenly flashed into my mind. Ah, it held a special place in my heart.
A lot of good memories were attached to that place.
However, a sudden opening of the door interrupted my thoughts. I saw a middle-aged man enter the room, followed by two soldiers holding guns.
In respect of this man, I stood up because I knew he was from the upper ranks of the forces. I saw him standing with the old man before I entered the forest.
As he nodded at me, he motioned for me to sit down.
The man sat opposite me as I sat down.
“So, may I have your ID card?”
With a nod, I handed my ID card to him.
After reading the ID card, he looked at me and said.
“Oh, you’re Alan, and Olivia brought you here?”
I nodded at him.
After looking at me for a while, he said,
“As you know, Olivia created quite a stir when she lost your tracker signal. Even when she went to the forest, she wasn’t able to locate you. She was really upset and even took an indefinite leave of absence from the forces. I have told her that you are coming.”
My face was filled with surprise as I asked, “Really?”.
“Can you tell me what happened to the tracker now?” he asked me.
“When I was teleported to the jungle, I came face to face with the wounded Jaguar. He almost burned me to death, but somehow I defeated him and managed to gain its power.”
I lit the small fireball in my hand to show him the proof.
A surprised expression appeared on his face for a moment, but then it disappeared.
“When I checked the tracker, it was damaged,” I stopped and looked at him.
As he nodded at me, he asked, “So, did you meet any people in the jungle?”
I nodded at him and replied, “Yes, many trainee soldiers.”
“I am not asking about them, anyone except these soldiers?” He looked at me. I knew from his expression that he was paying close attention to me.
After thinking for a while, I said, “Apart from the animals and these soldiers, I haven’t met anyone yet. Is there anyone else in the jungle?”
I told him a straight lie without even flinching and even asked him a counter-question. I know this person is going to deny the question.
“No problem. Anyway, can you come with me? We have to run a few tests on you to check for any abnormalities in your body,” he said.
For a moment, I was surprised, but nodded, anyway.
It was inevitable that they would check on me at some point.
I followed him out of the room with the soldiers as he stood up and left. A short time later, we stood before a door.
I followed him into the room as he opened the door. I found it surprising to see that the room was a lab, as several scientists were working there.
In the middle of the room, there was a huge machine with many monitors attached.
Everyone turned to look at me as I entered the room. Although I am handsome, I was still feeling shy, as I was the center of attention.
However, I knew he would tell me to enter the machine somehow.
As expected, he turned to me and said.
“Would you mind entering that machine? It will allow us to determine if you have any abnormalities in your body,”
Is this a joke? I know what they’re doing. Nonetheless, I nodded at him and moved towards the machine.
I know they would be very surprised when they found out how powerful I am. I was quite weak before entering the forest. Now I am too strong.
I was asked by one of the scientists, “Would you please remove your clothes and apply this gel all over your body before entering the machine?”
A gel was handed to me by him.
This time I was really surprised; I didn’t know what kind of experimentation would be conducted on me.
However, I cannot back out now. I removed my dress and began to apply the gel to my body.
In a way, it seems that since coming here; I have become quite shameless. I didn’t mind standing naked in front of anyone.
I entered the machine after applying the gel all over my body. The door closed as soon as I entered.
After a while, a ray of white light scanned me and I felt as if my memories were being scanned.
Though Amelia altered my memories, I was not entirely sure of it. With Eve present, I somehow felt confident that my past memories and memories of the village would not be accessed.
After standing inside the machine for quite a while, suddenly the door of the machine opened. Upon exiting, I noticed everyone had a surprised look on their face.
At first, I believed they had found something about the village, but I discarded the idea. Eve assured me that no one would be able to find my memories of the past. She altered it to meet my needs.
The scientist quickly approached me and began to examine my body as if it was a masterpiece.
My face was filled with a weird expression when this man touched every part of my body.
No matter what he was looking at, he wore a serious expression.
The middle-aged man also had a surprised look on his face.
Everyone looked at me as if I were some important part of the experiment. My heart sank with a sense of fear.
Did they discover the blood of that GOD?
