Bang-42775d7e633a026e

The bullet that cut through the air grazed a hunter’s shoulder. The hunter staggered but regained balance, erratically turning the bike’s head to make aiming difficult as he fled. He was clearly aiming for the head…. Another bullet flew and hit the sand next to the bike’s wheel, kicking up a cloud. The semi-automatic made it hard to aim due to the vibration. Of course, this was because Seokha’s skills varied greatly from day to day. Instead, Barn’s quick shot aimed for a hunter’s neck. One bike crashed into a sand pit. One of the unconscious traders also rolled in the sand.ab9e1bf3f13c3519

“At this rate, he’s going to kill an innocent person…”c6e2a7d5fefac6e7

Watching Barn’s antics, Seokha took aim again. He pulled the trigger towards a bike that had gone quite far. The bullet that grazed the hunter’s head disappeared. The distance had become considerable for Barn to shoot. As Seokha focused again and was about to pull the trigger, a jeep suddenly entered his scope.99cf686727827439

“Barn!”8e326482c9ebde3a

Seokha and Barn froze at the captain’s thunderous voice. The bike swerved sharply to avoid the jeep that cut in front to block its path. The captain’s gun, emerging from the window, split the hunter’s head. The captain violently opened the jeep door and got out. Then he pulled back the cloth wrapped around the person slumped over the now sputtering bike.9d6513db8329fe58

“It’s her! My daughter!”937e5798cdbb353c

The captain, grabbing his own child by the collar and stuffing her into the jeep, approached Barn like a demon. Seokha, lowering his aimed gun, let out a sigh of relief. Being far away, he was thankful not to be there. The captain’s aura was enough to make one instinctively clasp their hands.200aa64f1cbc8ab2

“Don’t be hasty. And you! Why are you just standing there like it’s none of your business!”b3e7610749d316a0

Seokha smiled awkwardly as he met the captain’s eyes. He needed to hurry down to get scolded less. Just as Seokha was about to step down the sand dune quickly, Barn suddenly shouted.0bda70c1347ff83b

When he turned around 8b791a0ba5 at the urgent cry, 2facd0760e Seokha faced a pitch-black 53dd28afe3 gas mask. The gas mask 4be1f6507c he had only 3b40f5f138 seen through the 4315fa72a3 telescope was surprisingly 10a3528d91 close. Two of them, in 66ef3382a9 fact.

His body was lifted slightly and pressed against the hunter’s side. The rifle he was holding fell onto the sand dune. The arm gripping his waist was unusually strong. Seokha tried to remove the hand while sweating coldly, but it was futile. As the hunter sitting on the back of the bike took out a syringe and stuck the needle in his neck, the last thing Seokha heard was Barn’s voice before his eyelids heavily closed.3108b76d68fccb94

Seokha blinked 17bc9d667b several times 614a2017a3 due to dfae34a6fd his blurry c8a20fd75e vision. The vibrations transmitted throughout f7a33b10e0 his body and the 7a1741a216 occasional violent shaking all 1f2a7cbf76 around made him feel 754c60962a like he was going 9f87421252 to be sick. He wondered why 6c38ce1123 his body felt c736f04348 uncomfortable, only to 728cf40d1f realize his arms 585a34158f were tied behind ffc9c0902f his back. Seokha shifted 6746e8b4d5 his body. His left arm 20a6b136c7 was too numb. After lying straight, he bfba24c1ec turned to his right 541f506c78 side and came face 1d547c3bf4 to face with a fcd4a80273 gas mask. Reflexively, he closed his 43fa5b7d4d eyes. Perhaps it looked 77f867388c like he was 2a55f3870c pretending to sleep 5262ac5fa4 unintentionally, as a c5aff860a2 small laugh erupted cb9444ff79 from inside the c01afc1315 gas mask. Seokha slowly opened his de85f6fe44 eyes.b553de2776cf4a6d

“Hey! Did it come off?”879435ef35abfe10

The hunter sitting in front shouted. Another voice came through the thick cloth. Apparently, they had switched to a truck. Would the recovery team be chasing me? Seokha slightly regretted readily helping Barn’s rash action in the past.c545b5f72919e8b2

The hunter took off his gas mask and threw it aside. He was a young man with very messy hair. The hunter’s blue eyes came close. Seokha pulled his head back. They looked like the sky on a clear day, or perhaps like the sea he had never seen before.4b808fa09b51a7db

Seokha, seeing blue eyes for the first time in his life, finally noticed the hunter’s face right in front of him. He thought he was an adult because of his large build, but his face looked quite young. He was more of a boy than a man.57a826a998fe688a

He definitely seemed… young. The hunter spoke with his chin slightly raised, as if boasting to the innocent victim he had captured.e574829747cb8b4a

Unexpectedly, the hunter rustled around and pulled out a map from his pocket. It was a map so folded that the creases wouldn’t even smooth out properly. Here is…. After studying the map for a while, the hunter gave an answer.9792cf2142732317

Seokha closed his eyes tightly and opened them again. He wondered how long he had been unconscious, to have come so far already. As far as he knew, the ‘Primordial Desert’ was at the entrance of the desert, not far from reaching the marketplace. It would take some time to reorganize the recovery team and come after them.59dfb4f32148fdbf

Swallowing a sigh, Seokha briefly scanned the hunter looking down at him. The hunter, who had been sitting up, suddenly bent his upper body towards Seokha with an “Oh.” The round blue eyes were burdensome.0ee4037f35d00a32

Even more than I expected… This time, Seokha didn’t swallow but let out a sigh.781ef4d350325e99

Seokha wanted to arrive at the marketplace as soon as possible. He wanted to get out of the truck as quickly as he could. The young hunter, realizing that Seokha could communicate, started rambling about things that didn’t need to be discussed. Unable to check the time, he estimated that at least two hours had passed.2197302ca0f5c935

“I heard Almas were so strangely shaped that they were hard to look at, but seeing you, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Almas are immediately moved to facilities, so you wouldn’t believe how many guys hang around the marketplace just to see an Alma.”38b804b20c793a72

In two hours, 780a87a034 Seokha learned that e27773f57d the hunter had d3bf1c30f0 not been doing f58ced6f21 this job for 0609d01aed long, that he 6236bcb163 wanted to earn 448854f512 money to buy 2c7d1ceb90 a house near e07a337da0 the marketplace, along fc309b432c with several small 1711b93e5d future plans.

His shoulders, fixed in place for a long time, made a cracking sound as they rotated. The hands tied on his stomach were released. He felt a bit better.

The hunter lifted the cloth slightly to look outside. Red earth was visible. The desert had ended, and as they got out of the jeep, the revolver he had tucked securely inside his clothes pressed against his forearm. Perhaps he could return before the recovery team arrived. Inwardly rejoicing at the hunter’s inexperience, Seokha waited for his one chance.c999731d89c48149
