In the entrance of the camp, four weirdly armored cars drove in. All of them seemed to be wrapped with strange materials in various parts, and then Dexter was shocked to see a particular person amongst the group.
A beautiful brown-skinned girl who had short black hair and blue eyes stepped down from the truck.
She wore a brown crop top and tight combat trousers. She had a sad expression as she went to the back of the truck and retrieved bags along with the men around her.
"I was wondering what happened to her," Dexter said, and his mom came from behind him.
"She, along with some people, went on an exploration mission to retrieve goods. We still need to settle in with the new changes in this world," Jane said before she went back in.
"Hm..." Dexter nodded before heading back into the building.
"You're not going to greet your girlfriend's sister?" his mom asked, but he shook his head.
"I'll do that later."
...
"Take the supplies and arrange them in the bunker," Tracy's sister said to the men, and then she walked towards the biggest building where the general Dian was.
"I wonder how he'll take the news," Gracia mumbled before letting out a sigh and walking even faster towards the building.
Before she got there, the doors of the building opened, and Hannah came out and was looking around. Her eyes met her sister's, and Gracia was so shocked that she couldn't move.
Hannah was already before her in a second, and she gave her sister a tight hug.
Gracia, still in shock, hugged her sister back, and tears began to form in her eyes.
"What the heck is going on?" Gracia said in a shaky voice. The people around only smiled at the scene of the two sisters reuniting and then went about their business.
...
Soon night came, and the people were all celebrating the return of Gracia from her expedition.
The smile on her face meant she liked this much attention on her.
"Dexter! It's nice to see that you're okay..." Gracia stopped midway in her sentence and examined Dexter from head to toe.
"You got taller, and you look a lot better than you were before." Gracia looked confused, but then she shook her head and signaled Dexter to sit beside her.
"I don't like you, you know. Me and you will soon quarrel again. But... I'm so sorry for the loss of your siblings." The girl really had a sincere expression, and Dexter sighed as he remembered the ship attack started by that weird octopus monster. Seeing Dexter quietly looking at her, Gracia sighed as he looked okay, but his eyes looked dead.
"You know what, let's go relieve some of this tension," Gracia said, and Dexter looked at her with a raised brow.
"Hm? How do you mean?" Hannah asked, and her younger sister smiled.
"By hunting, of course."
...
Ten minutes later, Dexter, along with Gracia and Hannah, were out of the camp and were venturing into the city.
"I don't know if you know this, but we have a large population of flying beasts here. They're the real threat," Gracia warned while looking around.
*BOOM!!*
The trio looked to the side as they heard a loud explosion coming from more than 300 meters away, and they could see smoke rising from the ground.
"I guess we know where to look now," Hannah said before going ahead, and Gracia along with Dexter followed behind.
They soon arrived at the scene with their speed in less than 15 seconds.
The building looked destroyed, and they saw a large lizard creature dead on the floor, and two people came out from the building.
Dexter smiled as he saw Kila and Lily walk out, and Gracia immediately pulled out a gun and pointed it at them.
"Who the heck are you?"
Dexter looked at Gracia and put her hand down.
"Calm down; they're friends."
