The Doctor had sent a notice to every operator and staff outside of the land ship to board. As the ship is now ready to move, and going to head for Lungmen. Though the notice was supposed to be a sign of relief for Rhodes Island, some operators and staffs feels anxious about what they might encounter on the way. After the preparations are done, and everyone is onboard, the land ship finally set off. The Doctor tries to ease up everyone, so they won't get stressed.

Traversing through devastated lands, surrounded by the remains of the living, and unimaginable creatures looming in the darkness.

A Few Hours has passed

In The Cockpit

"Doctor, here some water, you've been busy navigating. You should already know when to take a break" Said Lisa handing a water bottle to the Doctor.

The Doctor doesn't respond.

"Doc?"

"Ah, thank you"

He drinks the water given by Lisa.

"Doctor, are you worried?" Lisa asked

"..."

The Doctor pauses before answering.

"No"

"I see. I'll help you navigate" Said Lisa, assisting the Doctor in navigating the landship.

"Heeh, why the sad face?" Said someone approaching Ren

"Oh, Kroos-san"

"Hey, Ren-kun. What's the matter?" She asked

"Nothing, it's just I wasn't expecting everything to be so...dark and gloomy"

She smiled and they start talking for a few minutes

"Say, Kroos-san have you been to Lungmen before?" Ren asked

But she stays silent.

"Kroos-san?"

Huh? Why is she quiet all the sudden? Did I ask something bad?

Then Ren notices a fog in the distance.

Huh? That's a thick fog

"Ren-kun, get inside" She told Ren in a serious manner.

"Ah, okay"
