After enjoying a brief moment of warmth with Sophia, the two of them shared a simple breakfast.
The atmosphere was calm, almost peaceful—something rare in the harsh Wasteland.
Vikram wiped his hands and looked at her, "I'm going out. There's a ruin I need to explore."
Sophia paused for a moment, then nodded seriously. "Yes, Master. I understand."
"You stay here and take care of the territory."
Her expression became firm, "I will. This is your territory… I won't let anything happen to it."
Hearing this, Vikram gave a satisfied nod and patted her head.
"Good."
Without saying anything more, he stood up and walked out of the decoy shelter.
The cold air hit him the moment he stepped outside, but his expression remained unchanged.
He raised his hand slightly.
The Healer Sprout immediately understood and moved swiftly, bringing the Universal Bike from its resting place.
