Chapter 66 - Interlude (1) (1/2)
At the same time, inside a particular chamber...
Currently, the situation and atmosphere within the tutorial chamber were nothing but melancholy.
Not long ago, they had just 'survived' the fifth wave of outlanders victoriously.
Then, how was the mood supposed to be so cheerless and downhearted?
Well, it was evident that the feeling of loss had outweighed the feeling of triumph...
That's because they had lost three more people to the monsters' horde this time, one person from the right passageway and the other two from the left passageway.
Whereas there were also some wounded people here and there, the feeling of loss was currently clearly written on everyone's downcasted face.
Still, this was only the fifth wave...
What about the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth?
How many more people would they have to lose?
Would they become the next cold corpses lying on the 'mound' at the chamber's corner?
Countless thoughts and questions were coming and going within most people's minds endlessly, causing them not to have any mood to shout and cheer at all.
Only downcast, they were...
With only some still-fine people somehow able to soothe and pacify other dejected comrades around them.
Nonetheless, those were the minority here, as most combatant people felt downhearted all the same.
If the fifth wave, they had lost three people; then what about the fourth wave?
Regarding the fourth wave that had commenced after Jeremy went into the normal-difficulty door, they only lost one person, whom was not so close to anyone, so they could still feel a bit relieved and cheerful at that time.
However, this time was different...
They had just lost three people to the fifth wave.
As they grew closer after each life-and-death battle together, some people tended to create some invisible yet sturdy bonds with one another.
That's why everyone felt like they had just lost their siblings or die-hard comrades within the bloody battle...
*Bam*
”Aargh... It hurts...”
The sound of someone's face being punched heavily rang out, followed by the whimpering sound of the victim...
*Bam*
”Kek!”
The one-sided beating was apparently not ended yet, for the punching and beating sounds echoed out once again,
*Bam*
”Why are you doing th...”
*Bam*
It appeared that the brutal assailant didn't want the hear the victim's foul voice while he continued punching the middle-aged man lying on the ground nonstop.
*Bam*
”Aargh!”
Nonetheless...
*Bam*
”Na... No... Please stop. Pwease...”
The sufferer started begging towards the brutal attacker pitifully and meekly with his weak-filled voice.
However...
*Bam*
