Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction-Chapter 137 - Barkers Idea

Barker could more or less guess Cinthya’s thoughts.

Thus, he said, “Even if you don’t want to go to New York Base City, you can go to the Genetics College. The God of War Peter is at the Genetics College. With his powerful strength, he can protect you.”

“We’re not going anywhere.” Cinthya stubbornly interrupted Barker. “Even if we die, we will die where we belong.”

“However, the abandoned town is no longer safe. It’s very obvious that the abandoned town could exist for so long because the Virgin Mary is plotting something.” Barker continued to persuade Cinthya.

“You can choose not to go, but at the very least, you have to ask them. They have the authority to make decisions for themselves.”

“I won’t leave the abandoned town. No one is allowed to leave. This is the rule here.”

“Is a rule more important than the lives of these people?” Barker asked Cinthya.

“Could it be that their lives are not as important as the so-called dignity in your heart?”

“You don’t have to say anything else.”

After Cinthya finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the town. Barker caught up to her behind her and grabbed her hand from behind.

“Think about it for them. They stayed in the abandoned town because this place can allow them to live freely, not because death is waiting for them here.”

“Let go of me.” Cinthya swung her arm hard, the blade across her arm resting on the side of Barker’s neck. “If I hear anything like this again, I’ll kill you.”

“Killing a person is easy, but saving a person is difficult.”

Barker continued, “This is the choice you will face. Will you save the people of this abandoned town, or will you bring them to await death?”

“Why are you talking so much with her?”

At this moment, Donna, who had finished packing, said, “We still have to hurry. It’s their own fate whether the people here live or die.”

“I just want to save them.”

Cinthya did not even have the time to move the sharp blade away. Although the blade was only gently pressed against the side of his neck, the moment he turned around, it had already left a thin wound on his neck. Thus, blood flowed out of the wound.

Donna looked at Barker and thought, “Are you trying to save them, or have you fallen for Cinthya?”

“What is a predestined fate? The Genetic Warriors were once defeated by the Mecha Masters, and the Genetic Warriors from the five Holy Cities had once died everywhere in this world. Is this the fate of the Genetic Warriors? Since it’s fate, why does the God of War Peter want to form the Genetic Army? Are they all going against their own fate?”

“You…” Donna looked angrily at Barker, but she was momentarily speechless.

“If we only look at our own fate and ignore the fate of others, we will forever be a pile of loose sand. We will never be able to defeat the Mechanical Holy City.”

Cinthya kept looking at the Genetic Warrior in front of her. Blood was flowing from the wound on the side of his neck. She reached out a hand and caressed his wound.

“You’re bleeding.” Her voice was unprecedentedly gentle, just like how she was currently gently touching the wound with her fingertip. She was using a talisman to gently heal the wound with her life force.

“Have you decided?”

Barker turned around and looked at Cinthya with a gaze that did not accept any rejection. Then, he said solemnly, “Do you want them to wait for death here, or do you want them to find new life?”

Cinthya looked at his gaze and fell silent for a moment. After a long while, she whispered, “I’ll listen to you.”

At noon, Cinthya gathered more than a thousand people in the town and shared her previous guesses about the giant beasts from last night.

Most of the Mecha Warriors and Mecha Masters in the town agreed to go to Washington Base City to join the mecha army. However, those Genetic Warriors were more willing to go to the Genetics College.

In the end, at dusk, Cinthya divided the Genetic Warriors, Mecha Warriors, and Mecha Warriors in the town into two teams to formulate the migration route.

Just as everyone was busy packing up, Barker looked at Cinthya and asked, “Perhaps you can go to the City of Assassins. After so many years, you might still be able to see your father.”

However, Cinthya shook her head. “I don’t want to see him anymore. He chose to leave me and my mother for the sake of the assassins. I think that in his heart, the other assassins might be more important.”

“Maybe…”

Cinthya interrupted him and said, “You don’t have to say those words. I’m not someone who has the patience to listen to others reason things out.”

Thus, Barker didn’t say anything else and simply asked, “Then, are you going to Washington Base City?”

Cinthya still shook her head. “I want to go with you.”

“Me?” Barker asked, puzzled. “Why?”

“I don’t know.” Cinthya smiled. “In short, I just want to follow you.” As she spoke, she leaned her arm across Barker’s shoulder and deliberately smiled charmingly. “Maybe I fell in love with you.”

When Donna saw this, she mocked, “Congratulations.”

“Why?” Cinthya turned to look at Donna. Then, she winked with her right eye and smirked. “Are you jealous again?”

“Me?” Donna snorted. “I’m not a love-struck fool.”

“I knew you were jealous.” Cinthya smiled disapprovingly. “It’s because I’m better than you. You’re jealous.”

“You?” Donna was breathing heavily now. “Other than being more slutty than me…”

Cinthya deliberately interrupted her.

“You’re indeed jealous.”

“Stop arguing.”

Barker listened impatiently to the two women chattering like sparrows in his ear. “We have to get ready for the journey.”

“What about me? Will you bring me along?”

“You should know that our journey will be filled with difficulties and dangers. Furthermore, are you not going to care about these people in the abandoned town?”

“Arrangements will naturally be made for them if they go to Washington and the Genetics College,” said Cinthya. “Meanwhile, I know at least more about the terrain in this area than your team. There is a desert after crossing a river further north. Without me, it will be difficult for you not to get lost.” 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Barker thought about this for a moment. Then, he glanced at the God of War Peter and saw him give him a silent look.

“We’ll set off tomorrow morning.”

Regarding Cinthya’s decision, Barker couldn’t convince her now. However, he didn’t want to ask the God of War Peter for help either. After all, this was his private matter. He couldn’t let the God of War Peter expose his identity as the Genetic God of War for him, right?

Barker must have fallen for Cinthya. Peter and the other three girls had already seen this, but they didn’t have the intention to interfere with Barker. After all, this trip was very important to Peter. He wanted to find the mysterious town that Donna had mentioned. If he could obtain the mysterious power that Donna had mentioned, it would be equivalent to accelerating the efficiency of extracting the Thunder God genes.
