The Wunder Warship (Hope) had successfully launched, and its externally mounted engines had started without a hitch.
The Hope was not the only warship on the sea. Many unmanned combat vessels and aircraft carriers accompanied it.
The undersides of these unmanned Warships and aircraft carriers had been fitted with the same shield material Unit-00 used in Neon Genesis Evangelion: Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone.
A project of this scale could not have been completed without the factories left behind in the major cities from before the contamination.
Over the past two months, roughly seven thousand survivors had been rescued. Areas had been divided according to the Village-3 (Third Village) model, forming villages where they could settle.
Through WILLE's efforts, they had become self-sufficient in daily necessities, aside from certain advanced medical equipment and large-scale production tools.
Before leaving, Huang Zhetian told Toji Suzuhara, "The next time we meet, I hope I'll see a different you. This world has changed, and you need to change with it. I don't think you're stupid. Understanding what I mean shouldn't be hard."
After saying that, his gaze moved past Toji Suzuhara to Hikari Horaki, who had come up behind him. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly ducked behind Toji Suzuhara, not daring to come out.
Seeing Hikari Horaki's reaction, Toji Suzuhara's wheat-colored skin reddened a little too. "Wh-what? I don't understand what you're talking about. You're not making any sense..."
Huang Zhetian smiled without explaining, then walked over to Midori Kitakami instead. "I understand your anxiety and unease, but you need to settle down and learn from the village instructors. If you want to join WILLE, you'll have to pass the assessment, so keep at it!"
Midori Kitakami's hair had turned completely pink. She nodded vigorously. "I will! I'll definitely succeed!"
