Chapter 101: Taking Action (1/2)
Sam and his teammates didn't move at all. And they aren't the only ones that didn't move yet. There are still some people who just stood there without moving.
Some of them are alone and some of them have their close friends or trusted teammates with them.
But they are not more than thirty people who are just in place.
The remaining 90 people went on search.
Why are these thirty still here? Well, for Sam's teammates it was because they controlled themselves on Sam's orders, but the remaining people, they also realised that this isn't that simple mission.
If not for the fact that all the teammates are in a state of paranoia due to the incident with the food, they would have realized that the mission just won't end as soon as they caught the tokens.
Because, the announcement clearly stated that the token holders by the end of the third day will be the ones that will decide the food allotment and there is no guarantee that the person who caught the beast and obtained the token will be the final token holder.
All the people standing here are going to take the easy way after the chaos broke out.
But Sam has another reason.
Right now, he is staring at the wall at the front door side.
From outside, he could see that the wall is two thousand meters high. Even though, he wasn't able to clearly see the whole wall, he was sure that the wall is completely in his field of vision albeit vaguely.
But from inside, he could see the wall was only a few hundred meters tall.
Initially, Sam didn't particularly take notice of it, but when the food was sent by the bird type beasts, he noticed that the wall isn't that tall from inside. How is that possible? He doesn't know and he isn't very adamant about knowing it.
At this moment his main thought is, how did they send the ten beasts inside.
Even though, they are bit far from it, the main door is still in their field of vision and they didn't see the door opening and the beasts coming inside, that is the reason is a bit confused. This fact, is not only noticed by him but also by other people who are still standing.
After more two hours, the whole area was completely searched by the ninety people and they weren't able to find any beasts at all.
This made them feel confused. Even the people who didn't move at first and thought of reaping the benefits without much effort are also confused.
Every candidate started to become worked up, some of them are even thinking if the announcement was a prank. But they knew that it was impossible to be a prank.
So, they picked themselves up and started searching again. This way, the first day of the first mission everything is chaos in the special branch zone.
The candidates are in a frenzy as they kept on searching, even the stream wasn't left alone, but by the end of the first day, they couldn't avoid giving up the search.
After all, they already searched almost every nook and cranny, but apart from the useless trees and some large rocks, they weren't able to find out anything.
So, the first day of the mission came to an end with all the participants tired and going to rest.
The next day, something peculiar happened.
Some people who woke up early to again search for the beasts came back to the place all of them gathered by afternoon to see if any of them has found anything.
Sam and his teammates are also there looking at the group of people who searched.
Sam is also a little impatient now that the half time of the mission has already passed and there are seemingly no clues at all. He also wanted to look around.
Just as everyone was in deep thoughts, one of the people who went to search in morning walked towards the nearest person and punched hard in the face.
”You bastard. Why did you hit me?”
The person who got hit immediately shouted. The other person didn't say anything and just ran away. The one who got punched immediately became even more furious and followed the other party.
Just as everyone is feeling peculiar about this, same incident happened. A girl in the group hit the person beside her and ran away immediately without even saying anything.
And soon, same incidents repeated again and again.
Everyone became curious what is going to happen and why did these people hit others.
So, everyone divided into groups and followed the people who ran in different direction.
Even Sam and his team mates went to look and they went in the direction of the first attacker.
By the time they entered the scene, they saw that the attacker is laying on the floor with blood flowing out of his mouth while the one who got punched by the attacker is standing there panicking.
The people who came along with Sam and his teammates are the ones who are from the same city that the attacker and the one who got punched came.
The scene immediately made them serious.
”Why did you attack him so viciously?” A young man who seemed to be the leader of the team asked seriously.
”N- No, I di…”
Just as the guy was about to explain another girl interrupted.
