Mary started to describe their intended itinerary as she continued to pilot the Iron Sentinel.
There are locations outside of Gearits City that are frequently referred to as District Zones.
District A is a zone that is rather safe for monster hunting and is the one that is closest to Gearits City.
It was only reasonable that people would frequently travel here to exterminate the monsters that threatened the security of Gearits City given that it was the nearest.
District B followed District A, and so on and so forth, with District F being the farthest away alphabet letter.
District F, which contained countless undiscovered settings, monsters, and pollution that could melt human flesh from the inside out, was by far the most dangerous and uncharted location.
In addition, District F, by coincidence, was the location where the New Region was found, making it the most perilous exploring zone for Gearits City.
“Since we are coming to the wilderness to train you, District A should be enough. Of course, if I judge that you are capable enough, then we shall head to District B. Is that clear?” Mary had a solemn expression on her face when she said it.
Given that they are currently in the wilderness, her solemn demeanor was understandable.
Shi Tian equally showed serious composure and nodded his head. “I shall follow your instruction, Mary.”
Turning his head to the left, he noticed a dreary environment outside the window, which was very different from the vibrant environment of Gearits City.
Despite this, Shi Tian felt alive since this was what the real world was like, and not the one Gearits City had invented to falsify a safe living environment. 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
He wasn’t complaining that being in a safe living environment was bad, but it was also true that it would be detrimental for the citizens living there, especially those who had never ventured into the wilderness.
Time slowly passed by, and the two of them passed by numerous people that were camping in a specific location to hunt for monsters.
Even though they were quite a distance away from them, they could still hear the sound of bullets flying, spells being cast by magus, and other fighting noises.
In simple terms, it was basically a chaotic environment.
“Okay, we will start the training here,” Mary parked the Iron Sentinel in a somewhat quiet spot and said.
Putting on the gas mask, she turned on automatic mode and got off the vehicle. With the automatic mode on, the Iron Sentinel could operate by itself even without manual control.
This was a preemptive measure to have the Iron Sentinel ready to back them up whenever an unknown danger arises.
Shi Tian also quickly followed suit, putting on the gas mask and exiting the vehicle.
Walking close to Mary, she was busy checking on her watch which seemed to be scanning every few seconds or so in their area.
In her watch, multiple red dots were being revealed in different corners.
“Hmm, isn’t that the place that we went by. There was only one monster, so how could there be seven now?” Shi Tian asked confusingly, pointing at the hologram map.
At first, he couldn’t see much from her watch, but when Mary changed an option in her watch, creating a hologram projection instead, Shi Tian was able to see where they are currently located and where the red dots are.
“One of the red dots is the monster, but the other six red dots are the people we had driven by.” Mary calmly said, extending the map that Shi Tian was concerned about.
And sure enough, once extended, they were able to see the scene of six people striking one monster, fighting and cooperating as a team.
“What the hell?!!”
Shi Tian wasn’t astonished by these people’s fighting capability, but by the fact that they were able to watch them fight despite being so far away.
“I’ve told you that my Iron Sentinel is my trustworthy armored truck. Did you forget that I mentioned that it had an advanced system equipped? And with its technology, I can transmit the images and videos happening around us through this watch of mine.” Mary smirked and coldly explained.
Her amiable demeanor seemed to have vanished completely and was replaced with a cold and merciless demeanor.
Maybe this was her real personality and not the facade she put up behind the counter desk when she was a receptionist.
“Here, take this temporary watch and put it on as well. The watches are connected with wireless GPS.” Mary then said and handed over another watch to him.
Shi Tian didn’t bother to say any courtesy and directly wore it on his left wrist. With this watch, their safety was heightened by a large margin.
After all, they could be said to have an eye in the sky thanks to the Iron Sentinel’s functionality.
As for the reason why the other people were marked as red dots, Mary might not have explained it, but Shi Tian understood the meaning.
They might be people, but who could tell whether they are going to be friendly with them or not. Hence, it was best to simply mark them as enemies so that they would always remain cautious.
Not to mention, the District A zone might not be dangerous compared to other districts, but visibility here was still low due to the cloudy mist produced by the terrible pollution and other factors.
“What monsters have you fought before, Nathan?” Mary turned to him and asked sternly. She was no different than a training instructor in a military camp, extremely strict and stone-faced.
“I have fought with Armored Rats before, and some other lizard-type monsters.” Shi Tian answered honestly.
Back when he was practicing his shooting skills, he encountered some lizard-type monsters. They were swift in movement, so the accuracy of shooting them was pathetically low.
Nevertheless, it helped him learn his mistakes and how to adjust his angling and shooting time.
“I see… give me a second then,” Mary replied, searching through her watch, seemingly looking for information.
