116 From the big four (1/2)
The travel to red zone took longer than to the green zone on their map. It was located quite a while away from the Shelter, but the area it covered itself was fairly large as well. It would take 2 hours to travel and 2 hours to go back.
With breaks, it meant they roughly had around 6 hours of time to gain crystals. After all, their abilities weren't unlimited. Eventually, the body would use up the MC cells they had, and they needed a period for them to recover back.
When leaving in the morning, it looked like their group wasn't the only one heading for the Red zone. There was a total of four other groups altogether.
”That's our competition,” Erin said, looking towards one of the groups who walked in front.
”Which one?” Layla asked.
”You see the boy at the front with the Red hair, it's the trait of the Redshield family. All Originals who learn their magic acquire the ability of fire.”
”You mean he's from one of the big four. I didn't realise there was someone in our school like that.” Layla replied.
”Although he isn't anyone special from the family, he is still from one of the big four and the numbers on yesterday's scoreboard proved it.”
”The ability of fire, huh?” Vorden looked at the red-haired student for some time trying to think up of an idea.
But the one that interested Quinn wasn't the fire user. Instead, it was Logan who was also apart of one of the groups heading to the red zone.
While the rest of Logan's teammates were walking through the sand. Logan was sitting on top of a strange contraption.
It seemed like a moving chair. A personal device that he had built for himself. The legs moved like that off a Dog, while the top half was just a normal chair. Inside the chair, he was sitting with his eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.
'I wonder what his ability really is?' Quinn thought. It had to be impressive to be able to get the second-highest score. Throughout the whole time to two of them were together, Quinn still hadn't figured it out.
And for some reason, Quinn felt like it was Rude to ask. Most high levels would keep their abilities secret. If two people were to get in a fight knowing their ability beforehand was a huge advantage.
While the rest of the groups continued to move forward though, Erin's group had decided to change direction slightly heading off to the left.
”I can't believe we're wasting time, dropping these two off here!” Erin shouted.
”You don't need to babysit us,” Quinn replied. ”If you care that much about getting ahead of the others rather than protecting our weak asses, then go ahead and leave.”
After Quinn's words, Erin did just that and decided to head off back to where the Red zone was located.
”Are you sure you're going to be okay?” Vorden asked.
”Don't worry about it, if trouble comes our way, I have a trick up my sleeve to fight them off,” Quinn replied. ”You see that building up ahead, it looks like an abandoned well of some sought. We will wait for you in there, and come get us on the way back.”
Before leaving, out of Peter's large rucksack, they handed Layla a few food pills and bottles of water that was placed in Layla's small bag. It would be just enough for them while they were away out hunting and if they needed some more, one of them could always come back and get some from Peter.
