In the evening, the Trinity Institute convoy set up camp next to the road at a spot chosen by Nicholai. Milo noticed that the location of the campsite chosen by the authoritative medical figure was quite particular.
Milo and Miriam looked at each other. He whispered, “The terrain is flat, and we’re on relatively high ground. Although it’s close to a water source, it avoids the path where wild animals might take to get to the water source. He’s definitely experienced.”
Off to the side, Nicholai was giving pointers to the doctors on how to set up their tents. He said with a smile, “I’ve made a lot of trips to the Virtuora Consortium over the years. You guys can take the opportunity during this trip with me to experience the vast world outside the strongholds. At the same time, you should also learn how to set up camp in the wilderness. As I’m getting older, there’ll come a day when I can’t even walk anymore. At that time, you’ll have to lead the medical exchange group to the Virtuora Consortium.”
A middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, “You’re still going strong, so you can bring us on a few more trips, I’m sure.”
Nicholai shook his head. “No, I can’t anymore. My health is declining by the year, and my legs are starting to hurt as well. I can’t compare to you young people at all. The distance from Stronghold 64 to the Virtuora Consortium is 310 kilometers. Even if the cars don’t break down along the way, it still takes three days to arrive there. If anything happens, we still have to repair the vehicles by ourselves. I remember when I was young, we encountered a sudden blizzard on our way there. As it was spring, we did not bring along any snow chains for the trip. In the end, we got stranded for half a month on this 310-kilometer journey. It wasn’t until the snow had completely melted that we finally managed to get to the Virtuora Consortium.”
