BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 - Fight To Adapt
Threatening atmosphere pervaded the five people. Ants seem to crawl under their skin as they felt the temperature going lower.
Nile had already drawn out his Katana as he stared fiercely to the group, especially the leader in the middle whose moniker is Browny.
Browny gulps down a mouthful of saliva. He regained his courage and said aggressively. "I said, leave the carabao and the crocodile behind, or else you might as well stay here and die."
Of course, it was only a threat, no one from his group had the experience of killing a person. He has also realized by now that Nile is also an evolved human, just like them. But so what? There are five of them, even two hands are better than one, how about ten of them?
...
The five of them actually came from the Village of Hangin. They have already become a Level One° humans long ago. Since a few days ago, they had already killed a total of three mutated animals. The animals they fought are ferocious but is also weak. The five of them killed the mutated animals one by one. They collected their mutated parts and made them into the weapon they are holding now.
They lie in ambush here, knowing that the Village of Hangin has a Mini Zoo. If they are lucky, they will be able to hunt and kill a wandering animal for their daily consumption, if lucky, a mutated animal might appear and its mutated part will be added to their arsenal of weapons.
Two days had already passed, and they still have not seen any stray creatures moving toward their route. They are already starting to starve. Today, they planned on stealing from the survivors inside the Village Center of Kahoy. They heard that the survivors at the Village of Kahoy are numerous, and they had already put up a little sanctuary just beside the actual Village Center.
They are already prepared for the worst. They have prepared the ski mask to cover their face if ever they got caught in the act. As they are already evolved humans, escaping is not a problem.
It was already approaching the night and as they planned on stealing from the survivors during the night; they rested here on their usual ambush spot.
It was at that moment that \'Trap\' had noticed the approaching carabao and the person riding it. At their back is the humongous crocodile. The carabao was only traversing in a trot.
At first glance, they were able to tell that the carabao and the crocodile were mutated ones. As the three are already approaching steadily, the Papaya Lady suddenly suggested that they should suspend the stealing scheme and rob this lone person instead.
The rest of the crew agreed immediately. Well, isn\'t robbery the same with stealing? The only difference is that the victim knew that he was getting rob during a robbery while the victim of stealing is in the dark in what had just transpired.
Besides, seeing the two mutated animals, their greed took over them. If they are successful in this operation, their team will be fully equipped with mutated weapons. Perhaps that time they will no longer need to steal in the Village and can just raid them directly?
And indeed, right before the person riding the carabao get passed them, they appeared and intercepted him. The person was wearing a red short-sleeved hoodie. He has a black face mask covering his chin all the way to his nose. His hair draped down messily on his forehead. He seems to be in a daze as he did not notice that they had already blocked their path.
It was only after a while did the person looked at them in surprise. Their leader Browny spoke first and stated the group\'s intention. The person did not respond and continued to stare at them. Browny repeated his words and this time, it contained a threat.
No, Browny was not able to finish the threat as he was interrupted by the sudden outburst from the person riding the carabao. The person\'s words are akin to a volcanic eruption. It was thunderous and threatening.
The five of them had sweats rolling down on their back. This was their first time performing a robbery. Of course, they will be nervous. Their nervousness had even been replaced by the person\'s words. Fortunately, their leader, Browny, recovered immediately and stated their intentions again. This time, Browny\'s tone was aggressive and because of that the rest of the group were able to wake up from the stupor.
The person riding the carabao had already drawn out his weapon; it seems that a battle is imminent.
...
Nile jumps off Maximo\'s back and started to stretch his body. Every time one needs to work, stretching the body first is always a good choice.
Nile notice that the five people are already ready to pounce on him. They only required the signal from their leader and they will immediately attack him.
Nile\'s blood is boiling right now.
Of all the things that he hated, being threatened is always sitting at the top.
Just like how a teacher threatens the students to pass the seatwork in the duration of 10 seconds or else the seatwork will not be accepted. For Nile, this is the most infuriating thing.
Before, even if he did not manage to finish his seatwork, he would still pass it reluctantly least the teacher would not accept it. Of course, part of the reason was that he does not have the courage to speak up. If he did, he might as well live at the guidance office.
Nile also hated those people who coveted his possession. These robbers even wanted two of them at the same time. Do they have loose screws in the head?
In his previous life, Nile will not dare to voice out his displeasure.
However, now was different. Nile had the strength to speak up. No one can threaten him anymore, and he will not let others threaten him anymore. He will do what he wants and will not let other people trample him.

Nile had still not adapted to the change that his body ad experienced. He admits that the timely entrance of these five robbers just suited his current needs.
Nile warned Maximo and Croco to not interfere with this battle.
He conveyed his intention inside his head. It was part of the function of the earrings of loyalty to communicate telepathically. Although vague, the receiver will still be able to understand what the sender is implying using the telepathy.
The reason why Nile opted out Maximo and Croco in this battle is mainly because he wanted to get used to his current strength. He wanted to use the robbers to adapt to his sudden increase in strength.
The group only has Browny with 7.5 strength in them as the strongest. The Violet Man is the weakest of the group with only 5.4 of stats strength.
(A/N: From left to right. Violet Man, Papaya Lady, Browny, Trap, Shorty.)
Browny, Papaya Lady and Trap\'s actual strength should be higher as they are holding mutated weapons.
With Nile\'s strength of 10.50, even if there are 10 robbers with the same strength as this group, Nile is confident that he will still be able to take them down.
Nile\'s blood was already boiling as the temperature in the area started to rise.
Nile acted first and bolstered towards Browny who is in the middle. Nile rotated the Katana and made a swing for Browny\'s arm that is clasping the dagger. Browny could not react in time as the dull part of the Katan\'s blade hit his arm.
Browny felt that immense pain coming from his arm, and before he knew it, he was already flying backwards due to the force.
It was only when Browny\'s body had already hit a tree in the distance did the four remaining people reacted.
Seeing their leader\'s body flying backwards, they could not help but be shocked. They knew how strong their leader is. When they fought a mutated bull from the other day, their leader could even overpower that bull in terms of strength. But now, their leader has been sent flying with only one attack.
Mustering their courage, the four people attack at the same time. Trap with the whip, Papaya Lady with the pointy stick, Shorty with the club, and Violet Man with the rusted machete.
Nile faced the four incoming attack but did not feel any pressure. In his eyes, those attacks are moving so slowly that they are akin to a snail.
Nile positioned his body in a strange way and all the attacks have been successfully dodged. Nile swayed on one side and kicked the Papaya Lady\'s err... breast. It was not intentional of course, it was pure accident. Nile\'s aim was for the kick to hit the Papaya Lady\'s stomach, but the Papaya Lady leaned forward, hence the result of her breast getting kicked.
The Papaya Lady\'s body also flew backwards, her body is gliding in the ground producing some sparks because she used the pointy stick as a way to lessen the impact.
The same moment when Nile kicked the Papaya Lady\'s breast, his hand reached out to the Whip that is held by Trap. Nile grabbed the area of the Whip, which does not have a sharp point. Nile clenched the Whip and held it tightly, Nile then pulled the Whip towards him, but because Trap was also holding the Whip with great effort, his/her body was pulled along.
The Trap \'yelp\' in surprise as he/she felt his/her body plummeting towards Nile.
Nile heard the yelp and could not help but wonder. \'Was it a boy or a girl?\'
