46. Choice of Charcoal

Gary and his group were still waiting at the same place. They hope that Arang will come with good news.

But after hours until the sun rises so high, the person who is expected to come to help does not show his presence.

Most people also began to feel if the organization where Arang works will not provide assistance.

They were disappointed when they thought so, hoping that their organization could give them a slap to stay, because there was no place for them in the city that was currently controlled by greedy people.

But if they don't go back to the city then where will they live?.

The old men might not matter if they stayed behind even though they would eventually be eaten by monsters, they were ready to die.

But what about the children?.

Their future is still long, it should not be that their lives end so quickly before even really getting to know the world.

The world is now becoming so hard more than ever. If one wanted to survive eating there was no other way but to be strong.

There will be no chance for the weak.

Gary got up from his seat, he asked everyone to come with him back to the city. Hearing the young man's words instantly everyone put on an anxious face.

Even so they understood if they had no other choice that could be taken.

Gary led his group back into town, but as he was about to leave, the children suddenly became so rowdy that they saw the Ballon flying from the top of the mountain.

“Who are they?.”

“What is the help sent by the woman?.”

“I hope so.”

Ten air ballons quickly descended upon their entourage. At the leading Ballon everyone could see Charcoal waving at them.

Seeing the arrival of the woman made everyone happy. They thought the air ballon that Arang was carrying would be used to escort them to the headquarters of the organization.

But they are all wrong.

As before, they discussed circling the campfire.

“I know if you guys hope to be allowed to take refuge in the headquarters of the organization. But unfortunately at this time the situation is still not stable for us, so it is impossible to give permission for people from outside to evacuate.”

Of course everyone became disappointed when they heard the reply from Arang, but they felt astonished because many troops in black uniforms came along with Arang.

‘If he came just to say rejection, why did he bring a lot of troops?.’ thought Gary.

The young man felt something was wrong. Afraid that Arang is mean, Gary prepares to take his gun. But Gary's efforts are stopped by the old man sitting next to him.

Mr. Sugeng touched Gary's shoulder as if to tell the young man if there is no need to be vigilant against Arang and his troops.

If you think about it well if Arang wins you want bad intentions, he did not attack their group from the beginning. But compared to directly attacking, the woman actually invites discussion.

“We understand the current situation that becomes all difficult. And we also clearly understand the rejection that you convey.”

Mr. Sugeng tried to speak politely, trying not to offend Arang and his troops.

“I'm very sorry for this.”

Arang lowered his head to apologize. Seeing that certainly made Sugeng and the other elders frantically immediately ask him to raise his head.

Seeing how Arang apologized, it made them realize that the woman may have gone to great lengths to convince the organization to accept refugees like them.

Although in the end the results are not so good, at least they know if Arang is indeed intersecting to help.

“But it does not completely fail.”

“!!!!”

Arang said that the organization does not currently accept refugees due to security concerns. But they will provide assistance to Gary's group if they want to set up a refugee camp where they are now.

“We will offer help to set up a decent residence, and provide needs for one month. Also do not worry about security, we will put security personnel to protect this place.”

Everyone stared at each other after Arang said everything he wanted to convey. Charcoal then left the parents who needed time to discuss.

The woman then approached the children who appeared to be playing.

“Ahahaha, you keep.”

“Uuh, I'm hungry. Can't move move anymore.”

“Oh, come on, shouldn't you be eating the meat you were given this morning?.”

“Um, I already gave it to my sister.”

Hearing the children's conversation made Arang realize that the roast he cooked last night had run out.

He intends to cook other food, but he intends to ask the children for help to cook. He did so simply because he wanted to become closer to the group.

Every child becomes happy when he hears will be able to eat as much as possible if helping Charcoal cook. All the children were scrambling to help Arang to fill their stomachs that had been empty since last night.

There were 15 children and 21 adults, including Gary.

While the adults were still discussing, the nest and the children started cooking. Charcoal divided the task on them to store ingredients, while he would cook.

While Charcoal mined on his troops to hunt animals that can be eaten. But there was a problem when the charcoal troops brought their quarry.

“Hem.”

Charcoal notices a Goblin with a head wounded from being attacked by a charcoal troop.

“Are you sure this is edible?.”

Arang asked the Barbarian troops who had captured the goblin. The Barbarians gave their thumbs in unison in response. Charcoal squinted at the behavior of the Barbarians, he did not know if a goblin could be eaten.

‘Did they ever eat goblins?.’

Yang Arang knew all this time his troops only ate wolf meat and drank Elixir. Seeing a goblin will be used as a cooking menu, suddenly made everyone frightened.

Realizing that Arang quickly ordered his troops to look for other hunters besides Goblin.

But the second army of Goblins is even worse than Barbarians. They brought back a zombie hunt.

“Uwaaaaa..”.

Zombies are burned by sunlight.

Seeing the zombies charred instantly made everyone's appetite disappear.

“It's bad.”

But everything changes when Archer's men return with dozens of rabbits and a deer.

“As expected of the Rangers.”

Because the main ingredients have been obtained, charcoal also intends to start cooking. Seeing children who are working hard, parents also do not want to lose.

Finally most of the affairs of skinning and cutting meat are left to the parents.
