Moona and Maxi, after wandering for a long time and repeatedly asking for directions, finally reached Ivy's base.
The moment they joined the long, winding line at the entrance, an unbearable wave of heat crashed over them.
The air felt thick and suffocating, carrying the smell of dust and sweat, and the sun hung mercilessly above their heads.
Maxi swayed slightly. Moona's vision blurred.
They hadn't eaten anything since their escape.
Hunger gnawed at their stomachs like a living thing, draining their strength to the point where both of them wondered if they might collapse before even stepping inside the base.
'If we faint here… will anyone even notice?' Moona thought weakly.
From their previous base's experience, she knew that the chance was high that everyone will ignore them.
Hence, both of them held on. However, even with their determination, they knew... they were going to faint if they didn't drink water or eat something.
