Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System
Chapter 127: Don’t Worry, I am Coming
Actually, she knew this was unreasonable, but her first impression of Vikram was really not good. She just happened to seize the opportunity to whisper some things into Divya’s ear.
"Anjali, how can you still say such things? Do you know why we’re out on the streets right now?"
"He doesn’t owe me anything. What does it matter whether he cares about me or not? Besides, maybe he hasn’t seen the message yet." By the end, her voice became softer, clearly disappointed by Vikram’s indifference.
"I’m sorry, I know it’s my fault, but Vikram is too cold, isn’t he? Not even a single message." After speaking, she pouted and said no more.
She clearly knew that her current predicament was all because she was too foolish and believed Shalini’s nonsense.
Now that Divya was blaming her, she truly had nothing to say. She lowered her head and moved closer to Divya to investigate the surrounding situation with her.
Fortunately, no traces of Savage Wolf Shelter members had been found yet. Perhaps they really had a chance to escape this ordeal today.

"Rustle, rustle—" In the bushes, two figures huddled together, trembling.
One head poked out from among them; it was Divya, who had quietly come out to investigate the situation.
Anjali, on the other hand, was peering through the leaves, observing if there were any signs of activity behind them.
"Remember to keep an eye on our rear. Tell me immediately if anything happens." Divya was now looking back in the direction they came from, without turning her head.
Although there were many leaves obstructing her view, it didn’t prevent her from squinting her eyes to catch every rustle in the forest.
Just as the two were intently observing their surroundings...
"Beep—beep—beep—" A sudden ringing sound broke the silence of the two hiding in the bushes.
Immediately, the bushes rustled, and fallen leaves drifted down.
They were both startled by the sudden noise.
After looking around and not seeing anyone from the Savage Wolf Shelter, they realized it was the incoming call ringtone from Divya’s left wrist communicator.
Before she could even see who was calling, she hung up the communication.
At the same time, she took a deep breath, clearly quite frightened by the device. Fortunately, the people hadn’t caught up yet, or something truly big would have happened.
After the calm, it was Anjali who spoke first.
"Who... who is it?" Anjali, beside her, swallowed, feeling a bad premonition.
"Hehe, it’s Vikram, the one you love to nag about every day. Now you have nothing to say, right?" Seeing the chat message that popped up after she hung up, a smile unconsciously appeared on Divya’s face.
She was about to reply when she suddenly remembered something.
"From now on, you are not allowed to say another word without my permission."
"Did you hear me?"
Next, she would definitely have to explain things to Vikram, and she couldn’t keep an eye on Anjali at the same time.
The early warning was to prevent her from causing any more trouble.
Anjali was on the verge of tears, so she could only nod vigorously like pounding garlic, while making a zipping motion over her mouth, indicating that she would be very quiet.
[Vikram: Why didn’t you answer the communication just now?]
Vikram immediately questioned her, and it wasn’t his fault. The main reason was that Vikram was also afraid that they had already been abducted and that someone else was pretending to be Divya to talk to him.
[Divya: We’re hiding in a forest right now. The Savage Wolf Shelter members are getting close, so it’s not convenient. Anyway, don’t call.]
[Vikram: How do I know Divya hasn’t been taken hostage? Send a voice message.]
Faced with Vikram’s caution, Divya had no choice but to look left and right. After confirming no one was around, she sent a voice message in a hushed tone.
After playing the audio and hearing that they were fine, his tone clearly softened a lot.
[Vikram: Why didn’t you notify me first? Didn’t I say that if there was a chance, I would let you into my Shelter?]
Faced with the questioning, Divya hesitated for a moment before slowly explaining.
[Divya: I don’t want to keep bothering you. You’ve helped me too much, and I can’t repay you.]
[Vikram: It’s okay, no need to repay me. Just pretend I’m after your body, no need for so many formalities.]
[Vikram: If you really feel guilty, then when you come to my Shelter, give me a monkey, and that’ll count as you having repaid me.]
Vikram was already used to Divya’s thin-skinned personality, who disliked owing favors. At this moment, he quickly made a joke to smooth things over; the important thing was the main business.
[Divya: Get lost, who’s giving you a monkey?]
As he expected, Divya fell for this trick. Her previous seriousness and aloofness immediately vanished.
Anjali, beside her, was stunned. The usually temperamental Divya was like a rookie in front of Vikram, getting red-faced and flustered after just a few sentences.
She really wanted to complain, but in the end, she closed her slightly opened mouth as Divya had requested.
[Vikram: Give me your current location so I can hurry over.]
[Divya: (Coordinates)]
[Divya: If it’s too far, don’t push yourself. We’ll hide on our own; we should be safe for now.]
He was her only lifeline now. Divya didn’t have time to be polite with Vikram anymore.
Vikram, in his Shelter, glanced at the location she sent.
"About 280-plus kilometers. At 100 kilometers per hour in the snow, it will take at least two to three hours." Looking at the distance, Vikram sighed.
If it was not emergency, he should have gone slow, fifty kilometers per hour. But since it was emergency, especially his Divya was in risk, he was going to use full speed.
[Vikram: I’ll probably arrive in two or three hours. You must hide well and wait for me to pick you up.]
[Vikram: (Coordinates) If you get a chance, run towards these coordinates. If not, stay put and don’t make a sound.]
[Trader: Vikram, Trade Item: Compound Bow X2, Required Item: None.]
[Vikram: Take two compound bows for unforeseen circumstances.]
After hastily providing coordinates near his Territory, Vikram immediately ordered the Healer Sprout to took out the Universal Vehicle, he didn’t even look that Healer Sprout was evolved into Healer Druid.
When Healer Druid come with teb vehicle, he looked at Sophia, and told her, "In few hours I will bringing you two sisters, they will be tired and dirty, so make everything prepared."
"Ok," Sophia nodded.
"Warrior and Healer follow me," Vikram said to them.
"Wa Okay." "Ha Okay." Both said, hearing that, they talked, Vikram knew they have become stronger, but he has not time to see it, he will decided to check them later.
After starting his stylish Universal Bike, he sped across the snow.
Snowflakes fell like goose feathers, covering the earth and blurring his vision.
He gripped the handlebars tightly, leaning slightly forward, trying to maintain the best riding posture in the wind and snow.
The roar of the engine echoed in the empty snow, as if reflecting his anxious mood.
Amidst the wind and snow, Vikram’s face and hands were covered with cold snowflakes, but he paid no attention. Since Healer Druid was clearing it.
His eyes were fixed on the front, with only one thought in his mind: ride faster.
His joking tone earlier was actually to help the two friends relax and not be too nervous.
In reality, the situation might be even more difficult than imagined. Every minute of delay increased their chances of being found.
According to the information Abhishek gave him, it was likely, as Divya thought, that they were being captured to be used as tools for sexual release.
The motorcycle left a deep track in the snow. Vikram constantly checked the distance between his current coordinates and his destination.
The roar of the motorcycle spread around, and Vikram on the bike gradually disappeared from sight... At the same time.

Divya, while hiding, was intently observing her surroundings. It had been more than ten minutes since they hid.
Logically, the Savage Wolf Shelter members should have appeared by now, but the surroundings were still silent, with only the howling of the wind and snow.
However, her eyes still vigilantly scanned every corner. Just then, a sudden movement came from behind her.
The sensation of her clothes being tugged went up her back like an electric current, rushing straight to her brain.
The tense Divya was immediately startled, and her waist unconsciously trembled.
Turning her head, her fearful gaze changed to one of exasperation as she saw what was there.
"What do you want?"
"You scared me to death."
Anjali was seen pointing her index finger at her mouth, meaning she couldn’t speak right now.
"Speak!"
She then extended her finger, pointing in the direction behind her...
Following the direction of the finger, Divya discovered that at some point, five figures had already arrived near the forest.
Both of their hearts sank, and even their breathing became cautious.
