Chapter 151 - The Camp (7) (2/2)
They knew within their hearts that they were pretty close to their camp's vicinity. It was only a matter of time before they arrived back at the base and could rest sumptuously there. So, they persevered...
Fifteen minutes later...
”We are here...” said Kurt as he slowed his pace down, letting the others have some room to breathe out their tiredness.
When the others had heard his words, whether it be males or females, everyone sighed in relief as they felt thrilled to finally arrive back at their camp, the only safe zone within this cursed forest.
”Finally...”
”We survived yet another fucking day...”
”Let's eat something delicious.”
”I want to eat some hot soup.”
”Nah, let's go with wolf steak.”
”Are you sure you wanna eat those savage animals?”
”Hahaha...”
People started talking and joking with each other after finally seeing some silhouettes here and there within the darkened forest.
Those silhouettes were obviously of the humans as they should be the surveillance teams sent out to check around the camp's periphery to spot any anomaly that might affect the camp's safety.
Not long after, a two-meter tall wooden fence was revealed to the group as they walked out from the forest.
Many people were lingering here and there in front of the two-meter gate made of thick woods, with two people wearing thick steel armors standing guard before the said gate.
When the two male guards saw the group of ten people sauntering tiredly out of the forest, they hurriedly shouted for the people inside to open the wooden gate.
As the gate was opening up, the view behind was gradually revealed to the ten people, including Jeremy.
”As we don't have any name for the camp, anyway, welcome to the human camp, Tommy,” said Morgan with a light smile plastered on his face.
Not only Morgan, but most people within the scout team also had smiles plastered on their faces as it appeared that they should have felt very glad to be alive back to the camp.
Simultaneously, Jeremy nodded back in response as he pretended to be amazed by the fence, gate, people, and the view behind the gate.
”Just three days...” Jeremy mumbled audibly.
”Hmm?” Morgan raised one eyebrow as a response.
”I mean, even though you guys have so much workforce to spare, how could you manage to build such a grand wooden fortress like this in just three days? There are also many wooden towers of more than five meters in height, even more, not just one or two but at least seven or eight of them towering around the camp?”
”Hahaha, I knew you would be astonished by this. In fact, we haven't cut down the trees and built this fortress from scrap. We've got it from the Crystal...” said Morgan after hearing Jeremy's question.
”From the Crystal?”
”Yes, you will know about that soon enough...”
Jeremy raised one of his eyebrows as a response, but he was met with a mysterious smile and obscure reply from Morgan. So, he could only reply with a shrug of his shoulders,
”Alright...”
After replying to Morgan, Jeremy looked at the sight behind the gate....
