Chapter 216: CHAPTER 215 - Verification.
The dying batch—this was what the people close to the place where the zone had appeared were called by the others.
They were the ones who were sure-dead people. There was no saving them.
They could try to outrun the beasts, but the longest they could do it for was 5 minutes; after that was the time when the real deals came out—the beasts with levels higher than 20 and 25.
For those beasts, catching up to some humans with a level below 25 or close to 25 was no big deal, much less the humans who had their level pushed to 17 or 18 with the past of their coins.
The worst thing for these people was that they couldn't even hide as the people—the ones who didn't have penalties like them—in the other areas did. They were unlucky to have Alex as the guardian in the sub-scenario.
But like always, instead of blaming their luck or their incompetency, they blamed Alex, so when Lokesh's message was sent, the dying batch was the ones who were against it the most. They didn't want to believe that the one responsible for this situation was the one who was trying to save them.
Things, however, changed when the two men, going deeper into the forest, moving closer to the zone, just like Lokesh, were hit by a sudden wave of rusty smell of blood.
They paused, exchanging a look of fear before they nodded to each other, hesitantly stepping forward, gulping hard as their steps were as loud as an alarm in their ears right now.
'Was it the smell of human blood or beast blood?'
They wondered, cautiously moving forward, but just then, they heard a voice, barely a whisper, with pain clear in it.
"Are you the ones... who came to verify my words...?"
The owner of the voice was human. A man. And he was probably... dying.
"W-Who?!"
The two men, however, had their bodies tense, their heightened senses working on full power,
Lokesh, looking at Alex, requested. It was the first and only thing he asked of Alex, and it was for a quick death, but Alex's reply left him speechless even with all the pain in his body.
