Meanwhile, in their mindscapes, Alice and Zeel were listening to the strange terms mentioned in the conversation.
After a couple of days of collecting information via satellite hacking, the duo was familiar with most aspects of this new world. Still, the terms mentioned by Hannu and Charles still left them at a loss.
Their current world was normal in almost all aspects, of course, they had pyramids and other mysteries that Zeel opted to avoid at this point in time. But other than that, it was a mostly normal world.
The only thing he found slightly amiss was Government incidents involving certain children and their families, going missing periodically. Zeel and Alice lacked the current nanites' resources to investigate the matter further, but this raised no alarm bells in their minds.
Feeling they had not dug deep enough, Zeel began to search for the word mentioned by Charles – 'Mogadorians'.
They began searching for 'Magadorians' and found a mention on the website called 'They Walk Among Us'. Most of it was nonsense but some of it made them intrigued, but they could not jump to conclusions without proper substantiation.
Unlike their previous world, they could not kill in this one based on suspicions alone – at least not openly. Zeel did not fail to notice several strange energy patterns concentrated at certain locations across the globe.
Zeel was still a Homo-Superior, and nuclear weapons could still kill him. Hence, Zeel was not one to flaunt his omnipotence with his limited strength.
Zeel and Alice still had a foreboding feeling itching at the back of their minds. Though they were currently in a weakened state physically; mentally they were at their peak and perhaps beyond.
Alice could still use her telekinesis, and Zeel's keen intuition was still on-point as always.
They could also move in cases of extreme circumstances, Zeel always left a couple of ways out for himself and Alice. This was also the reason Alice used her mental space for main training, since Zeel was the paranoid planner, she had to become the surprise attacker.
If they were caught by a sudden attack, Zeel could always allow the nanites to go critical and activate emergency movement.
A week had passed since their rescue by Hannu also known as Number three. Charles is Hannu's Cêpan and vowed to protect him from all dangers. Currently, it was night time and everyone was sleeping in the cabin built in the middle of nowhere.
Alice and Zeel had their own little corner away from the duo of Charles and Hannu. Zeel admired their cautious attitude, especially near someone like himself, this highlighted their keen judge of characters.
It would take someone very experienced in their craft to notice that below Zeel's thin body frame, laid a beast just waiting to pounce. Alice guessed they assumed Zeel was a warrior due to the many scars on his body.
Rattling sounds were heard by everyone as Charles made his way to the window to peek at what could have triggered the traps. The traps were typical hunter traps. They could be triggered by small animals or exceptionally strong winds.
This was perfect for Charles since he would grow concerned even if the wind was slightly stronger. Alice thought he was paranoid like Zeel, but Zeel admired his cautiousness.
Charles did not neglect to grab a strange glowing dagger due to his ever cautious nature. Zeel and Alice could feel danger approaching so despite their inability physically, they pushed their nanites to reinforce weak points in their bodies.
Alice and Zeel groaned in their minds as their joints and chest areas began to steam. Pushing the nanites into 'critical' would result in several side effects, but Zeel was not aware of the side effects. Everything he knew about the nanites was either instinctively or found after thorough research.
