Chapter 103

103 Second Day

Splash! Thud!

The sound of fighting continued as more and more giant mutated animals appeared on their way. Some people started to be tired and the groups were clearly unable to keep up with one another.

For example, the Sunshine Group was lagging behind the others because their physical fitness was relatively lower.

Even though they had been using their elemental abilities to deal with these giant mutated animals, it was clear that the journey had been very taxing for them so far. Some of them were clearly panting.

This was only the second day.

As the days passed, it would be even more difficult as more and more giant mutated animals and the stronger giant mutated animals will appear.

“It’s already evening; can’t we take some rest?” A woman from Sunshine Group finally couldn’t help it any longer.

“Tsk, you’re already tired just from these?” Another man from Rodent Group rolled his eyes. “All of you are pretty, but just facing these few giant mutated animals, you’re already tired. Are you sure that you’re up for this mission?”

“Don’t say that you’re going to tag along and claim the reward while the others are the one who did the work?” Another man from Rodent Group stabbed with his words.

.....

The woman who was tired from Sunshine Group was speechless. Her face turned red. She wanted to refute their words, but felt that whatever she said would be useless. Who would have thought that they had to walk for so long?

Wouldn’t it be better to ride some cars?

But looking at the road and the many giant mutated animals outside, it was indeed impossible for them to use cars. Even motorcycles would have a hard time passing this area.

Walking is the only way possible for them to pass through.

“Kyle, shall we stop here or continue?” Jake noticed that there was an open area nearby. It was indeed already evening and in one hour or two, the sun will come down. If they didn’t find any place to stay, they would have to continue walking in the dark.

Even though it was not impossible to fight these giant mutated animals at night, it was clearly not up to their advantage. There was no need to take more risk as there was no time limit speculated by the military for them to finish this mission.

It was not a rescue mission anyway.

“We’ll rest.” Kyle nodded.

“Meow.”

Kate glanced at the location and nodded to herself that it was not a bad location. At the very least, it was enough for the three of them.

The others?

Who cares?

“Here?” Another woman from Sunshine Group looked at the small open area and realized that this group had no intention to stay close with them at all. They had more members and if they had to stay away from Black Group, they would have to squeeze with each other.

After all, it didn’t seem like they would want them to get close.

“Can we...”

“Nope.” Jake cut them off. He then took out several mines and crouched down on the ground. “If you pass through this area, you should be prepared by yourself.”

The woman gritted her teeth.

Looking at the few mines that Jake planted, it was clear that should they dare to cross the line, these people would not hesitate to blow them off.

Damn it.

“Meow?”

Kate watched as Jake threatened the women with those mines and planted them on the ground in front of their faces. She was speechless.

Did he had to be so ruthless?

“Some people didn’t know how to give up until they’re being told clearly on the face.” Kyle stroked Kate’s head and back tenderly. “It’s better to show them with action that they’re not worth much so that you wouldn’t need to waste your time.”

“Meow...”

Kate silently lit a candle to those girls who would fall for Kyle’s face. It seemed that this professor of hers was indeed very ruthless.

But recalling last night’s incident, Kate felt that it shouldn’t be that strange anymore.

“Let’s rest.”

“Ok.”

“I’ll guard first.” Kyle conveniently took Kate and then sat under the tree. After that, he asked Kate to take out some dry ration for them to eat.

They also brought supplies on their bag in case something happened to Kate and she couldn’t access the space. Anyway, it would be better for them to be prepared in case something happened.

Bang!

Hearing the faint sound of gunshots, Kyle arched his eyebrows. He looked into the distance as his eyes narrowed.

Were there other teams who also wanted to go to the granary? This mission was clearly stipulated to do by City B, but if there were other cities who took interest to the grains there, they will definitely also deploy more people.

Kyle would not be surprised at all if that happened.

But it would definitely complicate things.

He didn’t like it.

The sun went down and it was completely dark. There were no giant mutated animals around, so it was quite peaceful.

Sunshine Group and Petra Group surprisingly also camped near their area. Even though they didn’t dare to get close to each other, they were all still in the same similar area.

As for Rodent Group, they had already departed first.

In their words: they didn’t find any point resting at this area because it would only waste their valuable time to reach the granary first.

The others didn’t stop them.

First, they were not close to Rodent Group.

Secondly, they didn’t want to be dragged to fight giant mutated animals in the middle of the night.

Third, they were tired.

With those reasons above, these people decided to rest at the night in this area and set up their camp nicely.

‘Hmm?’

“Meow?”

Kate meowed softly and sensed that there was actually someone who was still awake. That person stopped a distance away from them, but Kate could notice that there was indeed a person over there.

It was not giant mutated animal because the shape was wrong.

“Just sleep.” Kyle tapped Kate’s head and looked into the Sunshine Group coldly. These women were really annoying. Even though he had already warned them not to bother with him, it seemed that they didn’t even bother to listen.

Is there a way for him to make them go away on their own or a good reason to leave first?

In that case, he will just pick up the pace with the others tomorrow.

While Kyle was thinking, formless energy spread out. Kate was awakened once more and peeked her head out of Kyle’s jacket. She was stunned when she could see faint gold colored energy around Kyle.

It spread out before reaching towards Sunshine Group location.

In the next moment, screams filled through the air.

...

After a round of nonsense, Kyle found out that these group of women were experiencing nightmare in the middle of the night. They screamed so loudly that they attracted some giant mutated animals on the way.

After fighting for a bit, Kyle was a bit annoyed.

“Damn, even screams can attract these giant mutated animals?” Jake was stunned. However, he was indeed very tired, so he had already walked towards his tent again. “I’m going to sleep again, you should deal with those giant mutated animals on your own.”

“There are still a long night ahead.” Kyle glanced at Jake.

And Kyle’s words were proven to be true.

Less than half an hour later, there were another ear piercing scream from the Sunshine Group.

At the same time, countless giant mutated animals were attracted by the scream.

...

The other two groups were thoroughly annoyed.

They were woken up twice by the people from Sunshine Group and these people even attracted giant mutated animals on the way towards their camp.

Who would not be pissed with that?

“You should stop screaming or we’re the one who will silence you.” Petra looked at these women with irritation.

If this was in peaceful time, he would definitely not treat these women so harshly like this. But they were all mercenaries who had taken mission to deal with these giant mutated animals and also headed to the granary.

How could he show any tender care to these women?

“Yes, yes, we’re sorry.”

These women were afraid.

.....

They didn’t even understand why they kept on having nightmare and ended up screaming so loudly that giant mutated animals were attracted on their way. Thankfully, all of them were strong enough.

Kate looked at the people from Sunshine Group and then silently cast a glanced at Kyle. For some reason, she had the feeling that those gold formless energy was the reason why Kyle could affect these people. However, how was she supposed to say it to Kyle?

Kate felt troubled for a while but decided to forget it since they were going to sleep peacefully next... Right?
