87 Rescue Operations Part 2 (2/2)

When Lieutenant Cedric looked at him puzzled, he elaborated what he meant and pointed at the map.

”I'll clear the western residential area and you'll secure the northern and eastern side. I don't need you to fight nor I expect you to, but I need you to clear the north and guard the east. After i dealt with most of the infected on the west, we'll swap sides. You clear the remaining infected on the west while I'll deal with the horde at the east. Alright?”

Lieutenant Cedric raised an eyebrow after listening to his plan. ”Though I know that you're strong, I think going alone would be suicide. I'll have some of my men follow you and you can command them as you see fit.”

”I appreciate it, but I'll have to decline.” Jun turned around and started walking. As he got out of the door, he muttered, ”I'll make my own army.”

They left the city hall with his contingents, then arrived in front of Black Haven. He told his prisoners to stand guard and wait for him. Their eyes glowed, but quickly returned to normal. Uniformly dressed in grey hoodies and black mask, the group gathered quite an attention. Simply because it was too bizarre to look at. Having something to gawk upon and gossips to share became one of the past times for civilians who were noncombatant.

Jun went straight into the back office where he found Old John, smithing inside one of the rooms. Well, not really smithing, but shaping and sharpening various bone products. He held into a lustrous sharpening knife made from Rank 2 Destroyer's tibia bone. The tibia is a large bone located in the lower front portion of the leg. The tibia is also known as the shinbone, and is the second largest bone in the body.

”How are you doing old man? Still alive and well?” Jun said.

Old John sharpened the bone he held, then replied without looking at him, ”What do you want?”

Jun noticed the loneliness in his voice, but decided to ignore it. ”I need more weapons. Have you finished some?”

As Jun finished talking, Old John raised his hand to the side, a black vortex appeared and piles of swords and daggers with differing sizes lay down on the table.

After bringing out every finished product, Old John resumed sharpening the bone. The Rank 2 sharpening knife easily carved out some of the bones outer parts. Old John raised the bone he was working with, and scrutinized it. He sighed and said, ”Another failure... I always cut too deep causing a defect. How do you control energy? I still can't get used to it.”

The old man placed the newly finished on the table, together with his other works. The bone dagger he just finished easily scratched the surface of the wooden table.

Jun placed everything on his dimensional storage, then turned to the old man. ”Aren't you bored here? You're always alone and you won't even go outside for dinner.”

”I'm fine, just have my food delivered here.”

”There's a new building being constructed outside, you could setup your workshop there, so you can meet more people.”

”I'll think about it.”

Jun was about to turn around, when he noticed the dark bags under the old man's eyes. He raised an eyebrow, then come closer to Old John.

”When is the last time you slept?”

Old John pondered. ”Hmm, I don't know. Maybe two days ago? Don't bother stopping me. I'm old enough to know my own body. Besides, I have a lot of bones to keep me busy.”

”Okay, as long as you can do it, I'm fine with it. Just tell me if you need anything, alright?”

Jun turned around, ready to leave when he was stopped by Old John.

Old John said. ”I have a favor to ask.”
