Chapter 187: The Man Who Looks Like a Beggar (1/2)

”We've got company!” Nile stated as he glanced at the dot on his System Map. The dot was colored gray, signifying it was another human survivor.

Estimating the distance between them, he concluded that at least 50 meters must be traveled before they met each other.

”The System Map isn't really reliable as I imagined it would be. Even a human can sneak up to 50 meters around me before getting discovered.”

”Well, it's better than nothing...” He said as he contemplated whether he should continue ahead while having the risk of meeting the survivor or turn around to avoid the hassle.

The said human survivor was blocking the way towards the area he was set to go.

He surveyed his surroundings and made a sigh upon seeing the almost dense forest around him.

Calling this a town would no longer be appropriate. The buildings were already replaced by the towering trees, after all. It is only a matter of time before this town would be transformed into that of a full pledge forest.

”I guess I'll just have to ignore that survivor while passing by.” He decided to ultimately go to that open area, and if he was discovered by the survivor, he was ready to play pretend that he was deaf or even blind.

”Croc, you should hide around us for now! You're an assassin right? So you should be able to do this much. Don't let yourself get discovered, unless necessary or unless when I told you so. ” He instructed after pondering for a second. Croco had such a menacing appearance, he doubted that they could not pass by the survivor peacefully if Croco was there.

He let Maximo lower his speed, hoping that the survivor might go away after a few minutes.

Alas, his wish did not come true as after a few minutes, they already arrived near the survivor but the survivor had still not moved away.

He even suspects that the survivor was a cripple or something like that.

What's more aggravating is that the survivor had even noticed his arrival. To be precise, the survivor had noticed Maximo before seeing him riding on its back.

”Help… Help…. Mister, please help me…” He said as he extended his hands as if to reach for Nile that is above Maximo.

Nile decided to ignore the man's plea as he beckoned for Maximo to continue striding.

Seeing that he was ignored, the man was taken aback for a second before he stood up from the ground weakly. Not a moment had passed when his knees went noodles, causing him to fall with his knees on the ground.

”Please mister, I just want to confirm if my daughter is really dead. Please help me reach the school…” The man said, tears were slowly forming from the corner of his eyes as he kowtowed towards Nile.

Nile ordered Maximo to halt with a thought, conveying it through the earrings of loyalty.

Seeing him stop, the man was overjoyed, he continued, ”Mister… I'm dying... please… please help me reach the school ground, I just want to confirm if my daughter was really dead. I just want to try my luck, maybe… just maybe she was still alive?” He said with great difficulty.
