Unbreakable
/ Unbreakable Chapter 14
There were three people in the 'group' that was now walking into the rocky regions .
When Dohyuk killed Chicheck, it was apparent that none of the people had the intention of forming a group . They did not want to trust anyone, but this was suspicion based off weakness and fear . The ones in the quarantine zone were divided into two large groups . There were ones who luckily acquired sought-after Natures right at the beginning, or ones who just killed anyone in the beginning just to gain a 2nd Nature, whichever it might be .
Most belonged to the latter group . These people were weak in their past life, and that was why they couldn't trust one another, leading them to act on their own .
"Dammit . "
The three people who just walked in also had the same idea in mind . However, they now knew that they were too late . Just 'knowing' wasn't enough . That was why the two women and a man were now working together .
"Water… is there more water?"
A man with a huge body spoke as he laid down a big bag he was holding . It was about meter-long duffel bag that had a lot of stuff in it . The tall woman with a traveler's backpack replied quickly . Her backpack was filled with a lot of scavenged foods .
"Not yet . We all had a sip while ago . "
"For f*ck's sake, then you carry this . This thing is so heavy, and you want to have the same share of water?"
"Since when did we say we weren't going to carry it?"
It was a small teenage girl who answered instead . Of course, the spirit inside her was much older .
"It was you who said you couldn't trust us to carry it . That's why she and I took in turns carrying the backpack . "
"…"
"Please, if you are going to pick a fight, then do it . It's a waste of energy and water to even quarrel . "
The man shook in anger, but he sat . These two women were cousins . The man was stronger than both of them, but it was apparent that he would be at a disadvantage if a fight broke out .
"Anyway, this looks like a good place . It has a lot of shade too . "
The man changed the subject and turned to the tall woman, but she had a strange expression on her face .
"Hey?"
"…Focus . Pretend we're still talking . "
At her words, man and girl became silent .
"One . It's watching us . "
[The walls have ears . ]
It was the tall woman's Nature that let her know when there was someone peeking or eavesdropping on her . She took the 1 liter water bottle and handed it over to the girl .
"Sense it . "
She then drank about half the bottle and used the rest of the water to wet her face . Then she activated her Nature .
[Loan Shark's Nose]
It was a Nature that would increase one's sense of smell by consuming water from the body . Her lips were distorted .
"You're right . There's one that's hiding . "
"Where?" the man asked, but the girl waved it off .
"No need to find him . He has no food or water . Nor does he have a weapon . "
"He'll run away if we go after him . "
The tall woman spoke and the other two agreed .
"No need to fight . We'll rest here and if we leave enough room, he will try to come after our food or try to ambush us . We'll know if he keeps watching us with her Nature anyway . "
"We'll then have our offering," the man laughed . He then told the others, "When we use this, we'll do it together . "
"You're the one who we're the most worried about . "
Then they began resting .
Dohyuk licked his dried lips . Water, milk, and bread… he had no time to enjoy any meals for the past few days . He watched the three constantly . After they finished their meal, they began resting by lying down or sitting by a rock .
'They aren't fully relaxing but…'
It was a chance, Dohyuk thought . If he ambushed, would he be able to overpower all of them? If so, he would be able to take the foods and the mysterious duffel bag .
'No . '
Dohyuk shook his head .
'There's three of them . They just finished eating and it looks like their relaxing but…'
The places they were resting were oddly distanced against each other . It wasn't close enough to defeat all three of them even if he ambushed .
'Forget it . I'm just being distracted by the food . '
Dohyuk then grabbed on his 'food' .
There were a few rings, necklaces, and other stuff on his hands . These were E~F rank items he obtained from his six prey .
'This is my food . '
He was hungry . He had just fought six people after 10 hours . Digesting items gave him the feeling of being full, but it did not fulfill his eating desire .
'I will wait them out,' Dohyuk thought . It was obvious that they would not last long with the amount of food they had . With the three of them consuming it, they'd only be able to eat once more . When that was done and they became hungry, he needed to wait for that moment .
'They won't leave this place . '
Dohyuk then waited .
