Bang-5f4fe29694b200b7

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.4e0eb8e39b8af98f

“At this rate, he’s going to kill an innocent person…”f9470d1a522b2428

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.6a4df4517cb836f1

“Barn!”aa4248cf536ea3ca

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.0d00fa853e8c375b

“It’s her! My daughter!”b1c4195540e63a6b

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.3cceda37041410a7

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.ddb68d8ca9d73ceb

When he turned 48b1c75ac6 around at the 5c12c9136e urgent cry, Seokha 48ea236baa faced a pitch-black 59887c301c gas mask. The gas cc01452446 mask he 65a661de7f had only 1048aa8053 seen through 7d7d46fb80 the telescope a35ceed4ba was surprisingly 90b3f25f02 close. Two of them, in 5e6f3a752d fact. Before he d4b3b1bc35 could think 1861ede55e to dodge, 01c83c049d his waist afb872f2e7 was grabbed.e63f5b2e47eecbc8

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.3cb35dd4732a95a6

Seokha blinked several times 258926d954 due to his blurry 06db961ec6 vision. The vibrations 0e174debc7 transmitted throughout dc56d5feaa his body 0260fb02ca and the 63e256db47 occasional violent 8d58540447 shaking all d1a9668cb6 around made ac675750cf him feel c292a64b70 like he 1a518a001b was going 1b4f541866 to be 2112ecd28f sick. He wondered why his 581a39efab body felt uncomfortable, only 0d60c01209 to realize his arms a89b3883bc were tied behind his 1b8ad8f15a back. Seokha shifted 745cc6a255 his body. His left ec10ab67d8 arm was 4452546f43 too numb. After lying 0e03be46a3 straight, he 6db74bc892 turned to 2eaa90c182 his right 33818a10c9 side and ad7d3a828e came face 9485321bf7 to face c73d8b289a with a ec5672a792 gas mask. Reflexively, he 8dd64981c6 closed his ef0eac9c6e eyes. Perhaps it 954f48f049 looked like f685e7701d he was 82aea16d2b pretending to 0b751bdf87 sleep unintentionally, 73dce019ec as a 88b51327f3 small laugh 3f6ef8c1a6 erupted from aa78031ef9 inside the 4b0ba8a9f4 gas mask.

“Hey! Did it come off?”1cbc7bbbfc81ff5f

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.31263569ec75d4db

“Ah. I feel like I can breathe now.”790964e1e347411e

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.e10f860553d53cf7

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.ca45f57254b31185

He definitely seemed… young. The hunter spoke with his chin slightly raised, as if boasting to the innocent victim he had captured.979a0efc9588822d

Seokha chose 03a4b678fd silence, thinking f1a1f21f35 nothing good d7c42dc9ec would come b5b53f37f0 from cursing. After briefly looking around a069264ec4 the truck covered with b95930c68b cloth, he asked without 541440ad25 expecting an answer:b187dedd990d3083

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.da81e29a68defeb1

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.ca1b4bf5deb813aa

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.c84a2117e3006625

“Hey, but you speak ‘Nute language’?”0404396a7e71227a

Even more than I expected… This time, Seokha didn’t swallow but let out a sigh.00bf318baa23b7eb

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.244cbfa03357a246

“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.”b0372abae36a0805

In two 5f4aa92a0f hours, Seokha d1f836f7bc learned that 04636148da the hunter df0eaefd16 had not e87a7c76c1 been doing 03f79cedae this job 47428a3e62 for long, 857d2b25a8 that he 3ec950241f wanted to e7bb4baf4a earn money ea93de94cf to buy bab70f0d08 a house d35608e659 near the 52497d77b4 marketplace, along 87c9c240b6 with several 4828d8e771 small future 9bcf85e2dc plans.

The hunter approached on his knees and stretched out his arm. Seokha, suddenly faced with someone else’s crotch, groaned and closed his eyes.

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.62910659b75899b4

The hunter 72997a2b01 turned to e10a1b6f34 look at 85ed6b71bb Seokha, who 4857c38eb4 was lying e689bb6311 there helplessly. Having slept enough and 6bf7fe2e62 with the tension gone, 84c071eb1c he was now stroking 7045adf171 his hollow stomach, feeling 8e5c8cccf2 hungry.63f4b5ad4f65bb15
