Jason, the "Old Man" and Lauren Delder walked in single file across the wilderness of Area 30.
The entire Area 30 was a vast wilderness, other than stones, there were grayish plants — the former were hard, the latter were poisonous.
Food like "Bitter Vines" was already considered the only vitality in this wasteland.
"'Bitter Vines' was something Jing sent people to teach me to recognize before I entered Area 30, along with some clean water sources."
While walking, Lauren Delder spoke lowly to the "Old Man."
"That guy knows Area 30 far more than anyone else."
The "Old Man" affirmed.
There was no doubt about this, Lauren Delder nodded immediately.
"Not just Area 30, but also Uptown."
"I feel like an idiot."
"Before, how did I have the confidence to think I could become a collaborator with that guy, or even surpass him?"
Lauren Delder chuckled bitterly.
Since suffering a series of setbacks, Lauren Delder's confidence was greatly diminished.
He also learned self-deprecation.
