Melanie Ulrich's expression was somewhat unnatural. However, she still pretended it was a matter of course and replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gallagher. It's truly because I have other missions. If I can call in reinforcements for South Riven Base, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
Her tone was extremely forced. Akira Gallagher used to believe her words completely, but now he knew she was just brushing him off.
"Reinforcements?
"South Riven Base is only a Level Two Base with no experts to protect it. Now even you people from the command center are leaving. How could anyone possibly come to reinforce us?"
Melanie Ulrich claimed to have been dispatched by the command center. Since the extreme cold hit, he had been providing her with the best food and drink. He never expected that at this critical juncture, she would leave with the few Intermediate Superpower Users by her side. Indeed, adversity reveals true colors.
