Legendary Shelter Survival Guide-Chapter 242: Phil
Lucas waited on the other side while listening to Bill make many awkward remarks one after another.
At first, from what he understood from his words, the guy in front of him was vigilant.
But after Bill told him a lot of stuff, the tension seemed to die down. Bill didn’t show any signs to the guy that someone was on a call with him nor did he tell the guy about the inspection skill.
The name of the guy was Phil, he told Bill his story which Bill repeated without caring what the guy would think.
Phil had been surviving on his own for a long time, well, it was something he told Bill so for now, Lucas believed that. He leveled his skill by hiding and planting many plants with the help of his skill leveling it in the process.
Bill asked many more questions until his screening process was done.
-"If you’d like, you can come to our territory, follow the map, and reach the one in the north. It’s not compulsory but you will be safe there. There are many people living there, I won’t be telling you anything else. If you want, you can start traveling right away."-
Lucas heard the distortions from teh call again.
"Have you left already?"
-"Yes, I am in the shadows and observing Phil for the time being."-
"You could have guided him here but choosing the decision where you get to less socialize has always been your motto. Not like I support it."
-"What is done is done."-
"What’s he doing right now?" Lucas asked with curiosity.
-"He is looking around totally shocked about where I went, I seemed to have triggered his paranoia or something."-
"Well, keep observing until you think he is going to come, if you come to know that he is not willing, just leave him. There is only so much we can do about this."
Lucas cut the call and sat back with closed eyes wanting to relax for a little time. He had the time for it until John came to tell him that another few potions got sold to one of the many groups making them get 100 Gold coins.
’With how much gold coins a territory can get from completing the missions, there will be a boon of coins through the trades too.’
Lucas went to meditate again, his eyes closed while his mind fixated on thinking nothing. He tried to do this a lot yet it was tough when so much was going on at the same time.

Time seemed to fly by with him researching some more and writing key strategies and facts about the phase’s requirements on a slab.
Time seemed to go even faster this way and Lucas felt like he was doing something productive until he felt a ruckus above. People were shouting or talking loudly, he couldn’t tell from so far deep in the ground yet he still went and checked.
People had made a group at the entry of the shelter’s defense through which Lucas couldn’t look through a lot.
But one thing was clear as the sky right now.
’Phil is here.’
He went to the crowd and looked ahead, two people were standing at the opposite.
"Lucas, you should go ahead too," Ella said after looking at him at the back.
Lucas only nodded and went past everyone.
"Welcome to Survivor’s Haven," John said with a smile.
Lucas looked at him and couldn’t help but be surprised, he was a relatively handsome person, 6ft something height, healthy and fit-looking body and a face that had good features. He looked young, even younger than Lucas.
Phil looked at Lucas for a second and nodded toward him too, he seemed to have been overwhelmed by all the people who were staring at him.
It may have been because he was stinking and had dirt dried on all over his body yet the people here were all very clean. Yet what he didn’t know was that they all didn’t care about that, there were days before when even they didn’t wash themselves for days.
"Hello everyone…" Phil said with an awkward smile. He seemed to be so overwhelmed that he hadn’t even noticed the amount of development there was around him. The defenses looked like it took ages to build them.
A shelter that was yet not in his vision because of all the people blocking the view yet he got the gist that something was there.
"I am John, this is my wife and my two kids," John said while pointing fingers.
Until he stopped and pointed at Lucas who was looking at Phil with a mature smile.
"He is Lucas, the leader of the territory," John stated and his voice was filled with pride as if Lucas was his son and he was boasting about him.
Phil looked at Lucas again, yet this time, he had his eyes wide and eyebrows arched for a second. The guy didn’t seem to have control over his emotions on the face.
"Hahaha… it seems unbelievable but it’s true. I am Lucas Garde but you can call me Lucas." Lucas came near him and offered his hand. Continue reading at novelbuddy
Everyone was surprised with how fine he was with an intruder.
"S-Sorry, I didn’t want to be rude. I was just a little shocked for a second there." Phil said accepting his hand and shaking it twice before he continued, "My name is Phil Oslof, You can call me Phil too. Everyone can call me Phil."
His eyes went to everyone yet at the same time, he looked like he wasn’t focusing on anyone’s faces at all.
"No need for apologies, well, you will be tired from all the traveling, I would like to talk to you but for now, you can sit in our guest house.
"Guest house?" Haley asked from the side.
"Don’t tell me you haven’t seen it till now. Mike, show them your hard work. Phil, you can follow Mike. I will be there in a minute too."
"Is he the same person who bared his teeth at us when we met for the first time?" Jerry muttered in John’s ears which made John chuckle.
