People in the settlement who had the task of hunting and foraging outside started walking out of the residential area.
Their number is quite large, there are 22 people plus the presence of Isander, Meisya, Nina, and Giya to 26 people.
The group in charge of hunting and foraging has a formation, the formation used is 8-6-8, meaning 8 people in the front and rear, respectively, the remaining 6 people walked in the middle between the front and back.
The people on the front are usually those who have hunting experience or at least have vigilance about the surrounding, those who determine the road and ensure the path passed is safe or not, while on the back, while on the back, usually these are those who have sensitivity to something around, they have a big physical and stronger than others.
Meanwhile, the people who are guarded by the front and rear groups are people who have agility in running at once strong to carry things. Everyone carried goods and food if they managed to obtain the results from his hunt and gather the items.
Each section of the formation has its own chairman or command. The chairman or leader is indeed believed to be able to direct them well.
With the addition of Isander and others, they all argue that this hunt will be easy.
Although each of them carried a hunting tool weapon in the form of sharpened bamboo and iron, as well as other sharp weapons, it was rather difficult to kill 1-3 monsters.
Therefore, if they know there are monsters, they choose to stay away rather than face the monsters.
However, now it seems different, they are accompanied by 3 Agters who have great Agta power, no matter if they are dealing with monsters.
Isander and the others, they all got into the front team, they all led the way of this group of hunters who were mostly men. There were only 2 women who joined the group of hunters and food seekers.
This group of hunters walked in line according to the formation, each person keeping his vigilance towards the surroundings. Monsters roamed everywhere, it could be that monsters suddenly came from a random direction and ate the members of the group in a short time.
Walking between the shapeless rice fields and there were only grasses and a few trees standing, Giya asked Nina, “You came here yesterday, didn't you?“
“Yes, I hunted yesterday through this road,” replied Nina while nodding.
Yesterday he went hunting wild chickens and cows in the forest near here. Currently, they are all on the trail at the site of the former rice fields in Bogor Regency. No wonder there are so many trees and grass.
Sometimes they also find the ruins of the village that has been fused with nature, there are some walls that are destroyed flat with the ground can still be seen.
“Is there any danger here? Or have you made sure here free of monsters?“
Nina nodded once more. Yesterday he checked this area and put some traps in the form of holes with pointed wood at the bottom of the hole.
“Should, this area is safe, I've set up some traditional traps around here. Be careful if you see the foliage piled up, it could be a trap that I and others made.“
Hearing this, Giya and Isander nodded in understanding, they would remember this message, afraid that they would accidentally fall over and die silly from the traps of their own friends.
Turning her gaze to Isander's face holding Meisya asleep in her arms, Nina asked, “What is your strength, Isander? I'm curious.“
Yesterday he wanted to ask about it, but he forgot because he was too focused on playing with Meisya and looking at Isander.
Nina and Meisya were very familiar, as familiar as Giya, the three of them were both women and definitely had similarities between her interactions.
“Secret, you will know later,“ replied Isander while smiling meaningfully to Nina.
Isander was unwilling to tell about his strength in front of many people. He will tell and show his strength so as not to be counted boasting.
“Umm ... alright, I will wait.“
Unable to force someone, Nina would wait for the event to happen later.
Giya yesterday informed me that Isander is stronger than her. Nina as Giya's friend must know how strong Giya is, she can beat Salmagtress faster than herself.
However, Giya herself said that Isander was much stronger.
Curiosity grows inside Nina's body so she always wants to ask about the power Isander has, whether it matches what Giya expresses or not.
Whether Giya deliberately praised Isander for being closer to the handsome Isander or not.
People heard the conversation of the three of them, but they reacted habitually and focusedly by monitoring the surrounding situation.
The distance to the location of the ruins is quite far, they have to travel almost 20 kilometers to get there and it takes about 3 more hours to get there.
In the ruins it may be a few hours until the sun is almost west.
They need to be able to catch up with time.
After they all walked under the heat of the sun that began to feel for almost 2 hours, Isander could see behind the trees they passed there were ruins of a large building, which was quite large, there are even buildings that are still standing even though some parts of the building are badly damaged.
Nina had also already told that their distance was already very close to the location of the item search.
Shortly after, they finally reached the ruins and they immediately rushed to the ruins of the building that is suspected as a shopping building.
They looked down to find the goods behind the heaps of walls and earth.
Just as they were busy looking for the ruins, some members of the hunters had found items that were considered worthy of use, such items in the form of clothes that were still wrapped in plastic, and some items made of plastic such as glass and others, it was taken under a chunk of open wall so it was not so damaged.
They did not linger in one place alone, after searching for a few minutes, they immediately moved to another area of ruins.
A clear plastic that was rather thin sticking out of the ground, Giya who saw this immediately pulled the plastic carefully.
As soon as the plastic was pulled, a shirt still wrapped in clear plastic was revealed and he picked it up to clean from the ground.
“Type clothes?“
Gazing at the thing he was holding, Giya showed a surprised expression.
Then he immediately ran to where Isander and Meisya were busy looking for stuff.
“Isander! Have you found any items worth using?“ Giya stood beside Isander who was bent over focus staring at the rubble.
“Already, I found a small bag and an adult shirt, it was held by Meisya,” Isander said without seeing Giya beside her.
Giya gasped, not expecting Isander to be so lucky to find the items. He felt happy in his heart.
“This, I found a dress, I think this is a dress for a little child, do you want?“
“Kid's clothes?“
Turning his face away, Isander looked at Giya who was standing next to him while holding an orange shirt.
Without thinking any more, Isander received the item Giya found and handed it to Meisya.
Meisya is a private goods lifter Isander, he sits on a wall that has a flat surface along with items that have been found by the isander.
“Wow! Funny clothes! Meisya likes!“
When Isander removed the object from clear plastic wrap, cloth clothes and pants that one pair or one variety. These clothes are casual clothes, can be used for nightwear and play.
One more outfit for Meisya, Isander need not be confused about Meisya's clothes.
Just as Isander and Giya were about to continue their search for items, the shouting sound of one of the group members made them stop moving and turn their heads towards the source of the sound.
“Please! No monsters!“
Isander swiftly took Meisya along with the items found.
Giya's figure disappeared, she ran towards the person shouting while reminding the people to stay away.
Krah!
In Isander's eyes, he saw a monster he had fought before standing on the ruins of the building wall.
This monster is Catagtress. The monster roared loudly towards the group of hunters from the Rain Settlement.
“Everything, immediately retreat, fast!“
