"So this is the map of the Old World?" Yuria asked with her brows raised when Gunner activated a miniature formation that projected a holograph that displayed a large map.
Lily, Reva, and Valentina were surprised to see such a strange formation that could display colorful maps like this, which also showed how much greenery and water each place had. The only maps they knew were those that were made out of paper and could be rolled up easily.
But this strange device that projected a map seemed even more convenient and smaller while also displaying the names of each location. They also saw how Gunner was able to move the map around with just his fingers.
"Our planet Aurora is quite a big planet…bigger than any of us could imagine. That is why we haven't been able to map out our entire world. The best we could do was use old records and our current knowledge to come up with this map. We also couldn't dare venture towards the unknown areas since ghouls or fiends would easily prey on us, and we don't have the luxury of losing resources for such things," Gunner explained as Yuria nodded. However, Lily, Reva, and Valentina seemed confused when Gunner mentioned the word 'planet'.
"What a beautiful name for our planet…" Yuria mumbled as she momentarily remembered Earth…her home planet in her past life. It was truly a beautiful planet in every way.
They could only look at Yuria, who didn't seem confused by what Gunner said. At first, Yuria was surprised they didn't know, but the next moment she realized they had been living inside a barrier for their entire lives until now.
They must have no idea about how vast the entire world was or what lies beyond this world.

Yuria quickly explained to them what a planet was through soul transmission, making the three glance at each other, feeling astonished at what they had learned.
"I don't know if you guys know it yet, but our Blackthorn Station is located here, in this area," Jake pointed out to a black thorn-like symbol on the map considering these four women were new to this world.
The four beauties leaned forward to take a look and saw that their station was located on a continent named 'Twilight Continent'. This entire continent seemed small on the map, with barely a few water lines surrounding it.
"The Twilight Continent? Why is it named so?" Reva asked with knitted brows.
Linda softly chuckled and said, "Well, I am not sure, but I read somewhere that during twilight in this continent, you would be able to see all the stars in the sky. It is the most beautiful sight any of you could ever see."
"Wow…" Yuria mumbled as she and her sisters also felt interested to see how the sky would look during twilight. Since their station was inside a dome, they were unable to look at the night sky.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"But there is only a single station on this continent?" Reva asked upon seeing only the symbol of their Blackthorn station on the map of the continent.
Lita scoffed as she said, "Do you seriously believe that? Even a five-year-old would know that there is obviously more than one station in our continent."
"Yeah, it's not like we humans are at the brink of extinction, hmph," Becca added with a snort.
"Come on, girls. Be nice," Milo said with a light-hearted laugh, trying to not make it awkward.
"Don't you lick their feet," Becca mentally sent a message to Milo with a glare, thinking he was trying to win the favor of these beauties.
Reva furrowed her brows, but she wasn't surprised, considering these two women still seemed pissed about losing to her and her sisters in front of everyone.
Lily also felt bad that these two couldn't just move on from that. It was not like she or her sisters asked for that duel.

Yuria was about to finish her piece when Lily gently held her arm and said to her through soul transmission, "It's not worth it, Yuria. Remember, we still have to work together. Creating more tension between us would be bad for all of us."
"Right…" Yuria mumbled with pursed lips.
"Ahem, let me answer Reva's question," Beret said with a friendly smile to distract everyone and added, "For the sake of not letting the location of other stations slip out, either by accident or through moles, each of our stations won't be visible to others except for the main Salvation Station. Only they can let us know about the location of another station in the case of an emergency.
"I see. Thanks for explaining," Reva said to which Berret waved with his hands, "Not at all. Since you guys are new, feel free to ask anything. We are also a team for this mission in the end."
"What is that place named Ghoul City?" Valentina suddenly asked as her eyes narrowed down on the other end of the map, where she saw a part of the map darkened with red marks around it.
Everyone seemed a bit surprised that this silent, intimidating beauty suddenly spoke.
Gunner cleared his throat as he immediately answered, "Oh, that place…Trust me, none of us should be going anywhere near that. That is one of the most terrifying places for us humans and for any station near that city, which is not really a city but large enough to even match the size of our Twilight Continent. Once you get caught by any ghouls from that place, then your death would be far from a merciful one…." Gunner mumbled as he remembered the terrifying rumors he had heard about what happened to humans in that city.
All four beauties felt worried hearing that. What if Damien was in that city or anywhere near it? No! He definitely can't end up in that place…All four of them shouted in their minds at the same time. They didn't want to imagine the worst about their husband.
