At that, Renault 4e9ff5008b finally came to 57324cde94 an abrupt stop eb49ea5122 and glared at dae817df20 him. The way he d97ed13469 spoke so lightly, e4eaf7ae4d like a child, 3869ed2fa8 only irritated him 120f990afe further. The desert 9acd2b87ea wind tousled 232a89ee98 his black, 101df38767 curly hair f9b2152841 in all 70446ac2fe directions.c9dd7cfc18f3d974

Through the 783a331c12 strands of 1888b2e3a6 hair swaying 2e2f5f24f8 in the 2b4815d50e wind, his 7d222bfff9 blue eyes 4d52cccf21 were as 6ffac3b406 clear as 2e5169b09a an oasis aae92707a4 in the 3772cc8eb9 desert. And yet, looking into c23708513c them only made his a6de426d25 throat feel drier.9db5a992401a8320

Those piercing blue eyes 487043e3fb gleamed. Renault found himself unable 391f411caa to look away from d162f73eda the cold, lake-like gaze. An inexplicable chill crept 99c4fa89b2 over his skin and c9d804902c spread through his body.d773954286e69224

He wanted to get away immediately. But he couldn’t just avert his eyes. If he did, it felt like that beast would pounce and swallow him whole in an instant…2d4d3c651bff4b1c
Startled by the 2b966e6fbc vivid image in a6876d6324 his mind, Renault 2b5aa39216 snapped out of 5c48054fc4 it and wiped ad4fd79c41 his dry hand b689797871 over his mouth. A ragged breath a4bb7d52fb slipped through his db7d265b3a lips.31f95770e596e8b3

That was 1f83512c3e when he 54dadd9ea0 noticed the 4a4789544a team members 34307563cc standing off adcaeaf41e in the f60642e905 distance, watching 9079630668 them blankly.

The outskirts of District 652c662f6c 13 were deep inland, fc60e2db1c far from any sea, 939a2145da and had long since af3de9790e turned into a wasteland.

It was already d337028b25 past 11 AM. The sun blazed bf68c6ec6f overhead, and the 52f2d5faa0 heat was suffocating. If it 811cb726d8 was this d29a4dd2f2 bad before 1275950086 noon, by 422330573a the afternoon, da1cd7d94b it’d be b7828ea634 like standing de5c054708 in a 65f1a849aa scorching oven. Just thinking 4ef17b32d4 about chasing c4975ec1f7 down monsters 0bf0dab739 in that 7f3664db5e heat made ac2fa31a66 Renault’s vision f72b095b6c swim.bc1a188c9f5815b4

When it came to bd6508c583 handguns, their maximum firepower 89d4ae727f could increase nearly a 74e1d03484 hundredfold. A single bullet from fd26f77317 a handgun would leave ae38a744ab a massive hole as e80eb7ba28 if a shell had 12a0736c19 been fired.
