October 3, Age 769, I encountered a peculiar robot in the Yunzebit Highlands. The robot moved with incredible speed and possessed immense strength. I suspect it was produced by the Red Ribbon Army.
March 28, Age 776, an anomaly occurred in Penguin Village; mysterious robot wreckage fell from the sky.
August 15, Age 778, in the morning, strange energy fluctuations erupted in the Great Gobi Desert, 300 kilometers north of North City.
July 7, Age 777, members claiming to be from the Red Ribbon Army appeared in Parsley Town, West City.
...
Bulma filtered out a total of 13 pieces of information provided by netizens.
The Earth's population was already sparse.
Moreover, before Androids 17 and 18 died, most humans were barely surviving in the mountains and forests, with very limited access to information.
Having this much information was already unexpected.
Yunzebit Highlands, Penguin Village, North City's Great Gobi, Parsley Town, Papaya Island, Ginger Town, Cloud Sea Desert... Gohan and Bulma carefully deliberated and finally selected three places with the highest suspicion.
They were:
Yunzebit Highlands.
North City's Great Gobi Desert.
Cloud Sea Desert.
On the first day, Gohan and Bulma went to search the Yunzebit Highlands.
After a day of searching, their harvest was zero.
Yunzebit Highlands, ruled out.
By the time they returned to West City in the evening, Trunks had already gathered the seven Dragon Balls and placed them on the table, ready to summon Shenron and make a wish.
Earth's Dragon Balls are much smaller than Namek's.
Namek's Dragon Balls are as large as basketballs.
While Earth's Dragon Balls are only about the size of a fist.
The seven Dragon Balls were neatly arranged in front of Trunks.
Trunks rested his chin in his hands, pondering what wish to make.
Seeing Gohan and Bulma return,
Trunks suddenly stood up, his face filled with excitement, and said in a tone of wanting praise, "Brother Gohan, Mom, I've gathered all the Dragon Balls! When are we going to summon Shenron and make a wish? I can't wait!"
Gohan said, "No rush, let's wait a few more days. We'll go through the clues we've filtered out first."
"Oh, alright then~" Hearing him say that, Trunks' spirits dropped and he hung his head.
Seeing this, Bulma asked curiously, "Trunks, is there a wish you want to make?"
"Uh, yes," Trunks replied.
"But don't waste the wish! Tell me, what kind of wish do you want to make?" Bulma pressed.
"This... will it not come true if I say it out loud?" Trunks asked with some concern.
Bulma chuckled, "No, it won't. This isn't a birthday wish; it's a wish to Shenron. It doesn't matter if you say it beforehand or if others know."
"Alright then. I want to wish to Shenron that the three of us can live happily together forever," Trunks said.
It was such a wish?
Bulma: "..."
Gohan: "..."
Both fell silent.
They hadn't expected Trunks' wish to be like that.
Thinking of how excited he had been all day, frantically searching for the Dragon Balls,
It felt as if both adults' hearts had been struck by something.
Their gazes towards Trunks softened considerably.
Gohan ruffled Trunks' hair and smiled, "Trunks, you don't need to make that wish, because we'll definitely always be together."
"Really?" The 13-year-old boy looked up.
"Of course," Gohan affirmed with a nod.
"I thought you would wish for world peace just now."
"Even Shenron probably couldn't grant that wish, haha," Bulma said... The next day, Bulma was at home calibrating the time machine.
Gohan and Trunks flew to the Mara Great Gobi, north of North City.
The Mara Gobi is located 300 kilometers north of North City.
It covers an area of over ten million square kilometers, making it vast.
Vegetation here is extremely sparse, consisting mostly of desert and weathered rock.
While there are oases in the desert, they are few and far between.
Some weathered rocks had tenacious shrubs growing on them, showcasing their resilient vitality.
Under the scorching sun, waves of heat rose from the Gobi, making even breathing difficult.
But Gohan and Trunks were no ordinary people.
After enduring the extreme conditions of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, such heat waves were utterly insignificant.
Child's play, really.
The two flew above the Great Gobi.
Gohan said, "Trunks, let's split up. You go this way, I'll go that way. If you encounter anything, we'll use an increase in ki as a signal to regroup, understood?"
"Understood, Brother Gohan," Trunks nodded.
They parted ways there.
They both held a round auxiliary detector and began a systematic search.
Half a day quickly passed.
Gohan was fully focused, flying in mid-air, carefully observing the ground.
After flying for a while longer, a stretch of weathered rock forest appeared ahead.
This weathered rock forest extended for an unknown number of miles, stretching endlessly out of sight.
Bare-branched trees were rooted in the weathered rocks, growing tenaciously.
Gohan frowned slightly, holding the sensor, and flew into the rock forest.
After penetrating about ten kilometers deep,
The detector in Gohan's hand suddenly vibrated.
"Hm?"
Gohan excitedly raised the detector to his eyes to check.
A red dot on the detector's screen was constantly flashing with dazzling light.
