Bang-4a44a5390b4ff0ee

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.306255811ce993d5

“At this rate, he’s going to kill an innocent person…”af0f5cc085346b93

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.b7d327cfb2651be3

“Barn!”bae6bedc2b3b74c7

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.cf90992a7fa5895f

“It’s her! My daughter!”bd9f876c435ace3f

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.beadc96b0ed08502

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.3f56b04bf6e3f8d8

When he 0a60d2c19a turned around 6763b7d2b5 at the 92ca1978af urgent cry, 410876801f Seokha faced 286d6654fe a pitch-black 9c405767d4 gas mask. The gas mask b264fc359a he had only 486220a00a seen through the 5bdbe33241 telescope was surprisingly 3591c47e1c close. Two of them, 8ae149b444 in fact. Before he could think 97d80b2c13 to dodge, his waist 5d5dbf8a1a was grabbed.4b6935d898ff7fbb

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.73ee7dc09da85409

Seokha blinked f674bb8d59 several times 910402d8a3 due to 91c9ba90f2 his blurry e0fc1668cf vision. The vibrations transmitted throughout 5cf72998d8 his body and the c8737175ba occasional violent shaking all e7eb5a94e0 around made him feel 6fce874de1 like he was going 96a0a33146 to be sick. He wondered why 46b081ea05 his body felt e8022a06dc uncomfortable, only to c44a6606de realize his arms ed2c0bfafb were tied behind a00e39fd82 his back. Seokha shifted 000dad6dd1 his body. His left arm c8a186792b was too numb. After lying straight, he 4c14e2d722 turned to his right ec435dbfb7 side and came face 910b21570a to face with a 365c4bbc10 gas mask. Reflexively, he closed his 3b3a593ff6 eyes. Perhaps it looked f9d14f1a7e like he was f7e483b55c pretending to sleep 3a5429ecf3 unintentionally, as a 9c3ede96c8 small laugh erupted b923b3da47 from inside the 827eba1af7 gas mask.

“Hey! Did it come off?”a45c47c378f0b062

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.d8a180a41b9f18eb

“Ah. I feel like I can breathe now.”653b801a63cec939

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.c5a025fbb2df9efc

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.24d608380e9dcdb9

He definitely seemed… young. The hunter spoke with his chin slightly raised, as if boasting to the innocent victim he had captured.fc6b3bf8d5de2cb6

Seokha chose a0b7708f0b silence, thinking 52483a872f nothing good a3f2ba9d43 would come 685e55c75a from cursing. After briefly looking a542bd6b20 around the truck e7cce54bf8 covered with cloth, c8baf19e29 he asked without 14bdd7ca87 expecting an answer:740beae626c22a66

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.5703f794e347c933

“Nothing.”157964717c9f0f12

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.2d7c61fbdf3eaad1

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.55cd5dd09cb5ae5a

Even more than I expected… This time, Seokha didn’t swallow but let out a sigh.09b1acc860a40c07

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.7031a77acc8eea99

“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.”b0b2c4c9cac45b8c

In two hours, 0fb72729e4 Seokha learned that 07f0cb65a4 the hunter had db8bf50dc8 not been doing cc68421677 this job for 2db271eecf long, that he 4ea7888188 wanted to earn d55d9251ba money to buy 16f22eb189 a house near 82514b3d5b the marketplace, along 18bc3c5489 with several small a598954a9f future plans.

The mouth that had ad5c41508a been chattering uselessly firmly e23774212b refused. When he c425960ed3 turned to 6aca832913 lie down, a82399c249 the hunter c1877d640e grabbed his e4b9f012cf arm and 5a7eedc5d4 turned him 5b74b2e4dc back, complaining 6bbfe736a5 about being 9ec066fcee ignored, so 53d8d50f11 he had 2dd30bfe01 to keep 3a213d3576 supporting his 646bdaa57a body weight fe04e709a3 on his 9d55612233 right arm.

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. As he slowly moved his stiff arms, Seokha discovered one mistake the hunter had made. It seemed clear that he hadn’t been hunting for long.15ace67e068fab7a

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.4d4a7944a0634900

Seokha, who hadn’t responded to the hunter’s words, sat up with a jerk. Leaning his back against the bag that was sprawled out, he felt nauseous. It was the first time in his life he had been in a car for so long.926eb42a51b99d00
