BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174 - Burnok
Glancing on the System Map, Nile expected another batch of hybrids coming towards them.
However, what he saw on the System Map was a different color of dot indicator. The System Map showed an indicator of a gray dot, meaning it was a human.
Based on the dot\'s size, the human should be a Level Two°. The human\'s gray dot indicator didn\'t lose to Nile\'s green dot indicator size.
What he didn\'t understand is that the gray dot was traveling at a fast speed. Even for Nile, that kind of speed was still unattainable. It\'s as if the human was flying.
However, after a few moments, the speed actually stopped abruptly. It\'s as if there was a sudden barrier, causing it to stop from its track.
At the same time, a deafening sound reached his ears, along with the appearance of a huge red dot on the System Map.
From that alone, he could already imagine what had happened.
\'It looks like they were fighting. The red dot which was the zombie\'s indicator was stronger than the human. For the human to have a speed like that, he or she might have been thrown away from the zombie\'s attack, before it got stopped midway. \' He guessed as he deliberated whether he should help the human or not.
\'The red dot is bigger than my green dot, It looks like it has stats of at least 27 points.\'
He glanced at the System Map again and estimated the distance from where he was to the human body and the zombie.
\'A hundred or so meters? The human was trashed by the zombie easily. If it isn\'t killed, then it would probably come here and disturb the evolving Croc. It was also stronger than me. But if I have the clothes and weapons, I should be able to manage a one on one fight, but the problem is that I can\'t finish it easily. The battle might get dragged again.\'
\'It looks like I need to go there and help the human to get an easy win. I should hide in ambush and kill the zombie swiftly. I just hope the other human could stall some time and let the zombie lower its guard.\' He planned inside his head.
\'It looks like I need to wholeheartedly trust Max for this.\' He took a glance at the System Map and noticed that it was clear from hybrids for now. Aside from his indicator, only the indicator of his two pets, the human, and the zombie were on the System Map.
"Max, guard Croc for a few moments alright? I will be back shortly." After his little plan of kill stealing was finalized, he instantly got up and instructed Maximo on what he should do.
Maximo nodded his head enthusiastically as he bid Nile a farewell with a wave of his hoof.
…
"Ahhh… This is so messed up!"
"How did that zombie know of my location? I made sure to never create loud noises inside the house. How come? Was it the hybrids from before?"
Burnok rubbed his aching nape as he tried to stand up from the rubbles.
After the hybrids left him alone in the house due to his unique circumstances, he didn\'t make another noticeable movement. One could say that he became as still as a statue after that.
At that time, the surroundings were already filled with some loud noises from time to time. He was not curious about what or where the sounds came from. It was a normal occurrence.
Loud noises and explosions could only mean one thing, the hybrids had found their prey and were in the process of killing it.
For his position, it would be better to stay silent and remain rooted on the spot. He left the Pink Surge Faction meeting early to report their movements to the hybrids.
It was his job. An informant for the hybrids.
Even though he knew it was not the right thing to do, he was forced by his unique circumstances.
His parents were captured by the hybrids. They were government officials of the town of Daan. However, as of now, they were already reduced to become the hybrid\'s slave.
They got separated a month ago when those groups of hybrids sieged the town hall. He successfully escaped with the help of his father, and in turn, he got captured himself.
He went back after three weeks, after becoming a Level Two°, but what he saw made him tremble in fear.
The town hall had already become the base of the hybrid, it was turned into a stronghold. Their numbers had also grown by much compared to the time when they attacked.
From his moment of carelessness, he got captured at that time. As he was about to become a roasted human for the hybrid\'s dinner, one of them suggested something towards the terrifying chief.
"Let him become our spy. Based on the handkerchief that was tied on his shoulder, he must be a member of that Pink Faction."
He was reluctant at first, however, when his father and mother emerged from a room, looking skinny and haggard, his heart immediately went soft.
The hybrids then threatened to kill his parents if he didn\'t become their informant and spy. As the chief of the hybrid was still resting, what he was tasked to do is to report the movement of the Pink Faction, he was also tasked to not let the faction get stronger, the pink faction must be in equilibrium with the blue, and the two must continue to be an enemy.
He loves his parents dearly, and they also did towards him. He just couldn\'t ignore them, can he?
Reluctantly, he agreed to their demands, but at the same time, he also vowed to get stronger and save them himself.
He was then given another handkerchief to symbolize the fact that he was a hybrid informant and the other hybrids should not touch him while outside.
