Familiarizing with Noah City

Dominic's words uplifted me, especially the last sentence - the people of Silvermoon City would surely regret it! Edmond, get ready to regret; we will meet sooner or later.

"Let's go! I'll show you around Noah City," Uncle Dominic slapped my back and led me forward.

Uncle Dominic, still dragging a dazed Emery along, walked and introduced me at the same time.

"Since the day I rescued you, I knew you were something special, hahaha—" Uncle Dominic couldn't hide his pride and kept laughing until now, "Escaping from the hands of Silvermoon City, that's remarkable, girl!" Uncle Dominic suddenly patted me on the back, and I almost stumbled.

"Wife!" Suddenly, Emery snapped out of his daze, wrestled free from Uncle Dominic's grip, and ran between me and Uncle Dominic, pushing Uncle Dominic away with disdain. "Old man! Don't touch my wife. With your strength, what if you hurt her?"

He reached out to pat my back, as if trying to dust off some imaginary dirt.

I directly pushed him away. "Get lost!"

"Emery, go away!" Uncle Dominic pulled Emery aside, and Emery looked at Uncle Dominic incredulously. "Old man! When you rescued her, you told her to be my wife!"

Uncle Dominic looked embarrassed. "Uh... " Suddenly, his face turned stern. "You dare say that! Ruined everything for yourself! Get lost! You're not qualified." After saying this, he pushed Emery away. "Cover your face so Yvette won't see you!" Uncle Dominic said while pulling the cloth around Emery's neck to cover his face.

"Enough!" Emery evaded Uncle Dominic's hand, angrily crossed his arms, and stared fiercely at Uncle Dominic's back.

Uncle Dominic continued to talk to me, ignoring Emery. "Noah City is divided into four main districts: southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast. The east district is here, mainly for our exploration team and the training ground for my wife's DR team. There are also some cabins for scientific research and engineering studies. Usually, we live in the west district. Oh, by the way, in the morning, Emery took you to the west square to receive supplies. Food and water are distributed from 7 am to 8 am every day. From now on, go there yourself, don't be late. Oh, and that bottle is reusable, so don't lose it."

"Got it!" I listened attentively.

"The south district is mainly the ecological garden. You should check it out; there are green plants, and it's usually crowded with people enjoying the sun, chatting. Children play there too, very lively..." Uncle Dominic's gaze softened, showing a hint of expectation, as if he enjoyed being surrounded by adorable children. He sighed inexplicably, withdrew his gaze, and continued, "The north district houses the recycling and sewage treatment machinery. Most of Noah City's machinery is concentrated there, and that's also where our city's spaceship is...""Noah City has spaceships too!" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course!" Emery suddenly stepped forward with a hint of arrogance in his tone, clearly throwing a tantrum. "Whatever Silvermoon City has, we have it too, maybe just a little bit less~~~" Emery's face lost its smile, replaced by a touch of sarcasm and mockery.

"Anyway, small but complete, hahaha." Uncle Dominic laughed heartily. "However, we don't have as much blue crystal energy as Silvermoon City, so many spacecraft and flying cars can't go too far."

I understood that; cars can't run without fuel.

"And these passages lead to many places. I'll have Emery give you a Noah communicator another day; it has maps and permits inside..." Uncle Dominic took out a device from his pocket, about the size of a square palm, resembling a phone but twice as thick, with a thick protective casing around it.

"Aren't you the one who told me to stay away from Yvette?" Emery said grumpily, giving Uncle Dominic a disdainful look. "Go get it yourself." With that, he ran ahead.

Since I met Emery until now, I hadn't seen him angry.

"You brat!" Uncle Dominic snorted, his face darkening. Then, he turned back to me with a smile. "I've spoiled him, so if that kid bullies you in the future, just go ahead and fight back. He's tough."

I was puzzled by their strange conversation, but thinking about Emery's peculiar performance during the battle, I curiously asked, "Is it Emery's ability? Some kind of... regenerative power?"

"Hahaha— When it comes to Emery's ability, Uncle Dominic's face showed a proud expression. "That kid's ability is not just what you saw. That day..." Uncle Dominic slowed down, looking at me seriously. "He really didn't know you were a girl. If he did, he wouldn't have hugged you like that. Yvette, now you're a member of our exploration team. Emery is the captain, and you'll often work together on missions. I hope this won't affect the team's unity..." Uncle Dominic hesitated, feeling awkward. "Uh... I'm not asking you to forgive that kid. This is something that can't be forgiven! But team cooperation is important, so I hope..."

"I understand," I stated directly, seeing Uncle Dominic struggling to convey his thoughts. "I won't let this affect the unity of the team. I'll follow Emery's orders during missions."Uncle Dominic looked at me with a surprised expression, his gaze lingering on me as if my response had taken him by surprise.

Uncle Dominic slowly came back to his senses, and his eyes showed a hint of appreciation. "I didn't expect you to be so decisive, Yvette. Can you really not remember anything from the past?" He expressed regret, "It's a pity. Your quality is exceptional, and you must have undergone very strict training. If not, you're naturally a warrior!"

I've been through it, just not in this world...

And, I'm not someone who dwells on things. At most, I feel uncomfortable for a few days. Though I'm angry, I've already hit him. Should I be dramatic about it all day long? Emery really didn't know I was a girl at that time; it wasn't intentional. I just want to forget it quickly, pretend it never happened.

"Emery needs to work hard..." Uncle Dominic sighed suddenly. "Otherwise, you'll take away his captain's position... Hahaha." Uncle Dominic laughed again, and Emery's cheerful personality must be because of Uncle Dominic.

Uncle Dominic continued walking, laughing. I looked at his back, wondering what kind of abilities Uncle Dominic possessed.

Ahead, the exit appeared. What kind of place is Noah City exactly?

The structure of Noah City is peculiar. From the outside, it has orderly gunports, which are defensive features. Inside, there are interconnected passages, various cabins, and intersecting gangways. Below the gangways, there are many cabins, and faint sounds of machinery can be heard. Such a structure doesn't seem like an underground city but more like the internal layout of a ship. However, it's much larger than any ship. What exactly is it?

Before reaching the exit, I could already hear Emery's voice: "Gather!"

Shadows swiftly passed through the exit, accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps.

"Kerry!"

"Here, Captain!"

Emery called names.

"Williams!"

"Here!"

"Gabriel!"

"Present!"

Following Emery's roll call, I walked out of the passage with Uncle Dominic. In front of us was another massive compartment, different from the previous ones. It was a rectangular space filled with various training equipment. Dim sunlight poured in from above, and as I lifted my head, I saw the high ceiling made of translucent material. In the air, there were various bars and hoops. At first glance, it looked like a training room in a circus.
