The footsteps sound were getting further away. At that time, Narukha and Cloe could only breathe a sigh of relief after waiting for a few seconds."Has he walked away?" asked Cloe in a hushed tone.Narukha shook his head, then took a step back to give Cloe some distance. Curious, Narukha peeked from behind the wall to check the whereabouts of the security guards.As the sound of footsteps faded away, Narukha saw the backs of the security guards moving away. It didn't take long for the security guard to turn the corner."Yes," Narukha replied before turning her gaze back to Cloe. "Why are you following me? I told you—""Have I ever listened to your forbidden words?" cut Cloe, making Narukha stop talking.Correct. Narukha never knew that Cloe followed his forbidden words. As a result, because he didn't want to prolong the problem, Narukha decided to ignore Cloe anymore."What a waste of time talking to you."Cloe was not offended at all by Narukha's curt remarks.Without caring about Cl
Narukha's plan went well.According to his calculations, Narukha made it through the passage in ten seconds. After the walkie-talkie throw earlier, the three soldiers who were carrying the boxes stopped for more than ten seconds to check whether their co-workers needed help or not.As a result, Narukha was able to easily escape down the hall without arousing suspicion. His movements were not suspected by anyone.As soon as he reached the end of the hall on the right, Narukha immediately skulked behind a pile of baskets. All these items that were placed rather haphazardly made it easy for Narukha to be hidden from the soldiers.Just as Narukha managed to enter the hallway leading to the bathroom, one of the men in a black and blue uniform didn't notice his presence. The man also entered ahead of Narukha with a hurried movement while lowering his head.Narukha was a bit surprised because the man in the blue and black uniform was seen reaching for something from the shirt underneath the
"Damn man!"Narukha didn't expect Cloe to enter the bathroom.When Narukha's breath hitched because of the grip on the nape of the driver's neck, he almost forgot about his plan. Narukha could barely control the anger that had arisen after the memory of the death of his parents suddenly surfaced.The sound of someone's body hitting the ceramic immediately made Narukha aware. After the grip of the hand left the nape of his neck, Narukha was pushed back a few steps. With a panicked expression and holding the back of his neck which was in excruciating pain, Narukha's pair of eyes looked dumbfounded at Cloe's arrival.Meanwhile, in front of Narukha, who was also in front of the male driver, Cloe stood with a challenging look. Cloe did not confirm Narukha's condition and chose to face the driver."You should just face me," Cloe said before getting into a position ready to attack. Even his hands were now clenched like a boxer's position. "Come on, you stand up. Fight me."Narukha immediatel
CAMP UNDERGROUND DISTRICT, 22:45 A.MThe truck that Narukha and Cloe were driving finally arrived at the Camp Underground District area. Moments ago they managed to stun the male driver and take the male driver's uniform. Narukha pretended to be a male driver, while Cloe pretended to be a soldier who would accompany him.Cloe and Narukha got down from the driver's seat and the seat beside the driver. When he came down, a view of the condition of the Camp Underground area which Narukha had not seen for two months greeted his arrival.Narukha felt his memory playing back the moment when he was still living in this Camp Underground. Not much has changed. Sights of hunger, emaciated people with shabby clothes, dirty environment and lots of burning smoke.There are only three new evacuation tents which do not seem to be sufficient to accommodate residents.As long as Narukha looked around the Camp Underground area, he didn't realize that Cloe was watching him from the side. Cloe was well a
"Thanks for the food, Narukha and Cloe!""Remember, all citizens. This food bonus must not be announced to the Dimensional Portal! Deal?!"Cloe's question was answered by nodding heads from the residents who gathered in front of Cloe and Narukha. Next to Cloe, Narukha was still helping unwrap snacks for the little ones who looked enthusiastically waiting.Narukha only gave a small smile after he finished unwrapping the snacks for the last child. He straightened his body, watching the children in front of him who appeared to be flashing snacks in their hands to each other.Narukha's feelings warmed as he looked at the children in front of him sparkling with joy. The snack that Narukha gave him immediately changed their pale faces. Their clothes and faces were shabby, but a few moments ago Narukha had washed their hands. Also, provide facial wash for each one."Do you want to always look after them?" asked Cloe who suddenly appeared from behind him.Narukha immediately woke up from her
Before Cloe could answer, Narukha's head suddenly felt a strong pain.Narukha suddenly looked down while holding her temple, immediately looked away so that Cloe and Onard would not be noticed—the old man who came to her. The pain that appeared as if stabbed from the inside of the head, slowly spread until Narukha felt like she was being pressured from all sides.When Narukha tried to massage her front temple, the pain didn't go away. More and more, in just a matter of seconds, the pain in Narukha's head grew bigger. It's like the pain that occasionally appeared in the past."I don't know..." At that time, Cloe's gaze accidentally looked at Narukha. As if connected, for some reason Cloe felt an uncomfortable feeling. "Narukha? Are you okay?"Narukha, who felt the pain getting more intense, gasped when Cloe patted his shoulder. Spontaneously his face turned to Cloe, trying to look normal."I'm fine," replied Narukha with a forced little smile at the end of the sentence. "You two can ta
Luck is on Narukha's side.The truck he was driving was the only car that arrived at the parking lot behind the Dimensional Portal building. With the car engine and turn signals on the front not yet turned off, Narukha checked his surroundings.Unfortunately the dark atmosphere limited Narukha's line of sight. It can only see straight ahead in the direction of the turn signals on the front of the car. Also, three meters on the right and left are affected by the reflection of the light rays.Narukha should have seen the silhouettes of two standing guard soldiers. But now there's no one. The situation is completely empty.Meanwhile in this parking lot, after repeated confirmation, Narukha did not see any other trucks. Or, had another truck arrived earlier and already left?"No one yet?" Cloe made a sound while checking who was around.Narukha shook his head. "Only we came," he replied. "There are two guard soldiers. Have you seen the others?""No," said Cloe. "I suddenly thought what if
