As soon as Aiden returned to their temporary base, Arian posed that question.
Undoubtedly referring to the ongoing gunfire still ringing out.
However, Aiden was equally unaware of its origin.
“I don’t know. It started right after I left the Liberation Front’s base. Until then, I sensed no signs of any disturbance.”
“I see...? Then it might not be anything serious?”
“Hard to say. But... I don’t have a good feeling about this.”
Aiden spoke those words as he unconsciously gathered his previously discarded weapons at their shelter.
Over the past few days of fulfilling requests, the Liberation Front Aiden had observed didn’t seem like a particularly stable organization.
They were plagued by chronic resource shortages. To the extent that they had neglected to deal with the mutants lurking around their base perimeter. Yet in that state, they had committed substantial resources and personnel to the leisure district in pursuit of medical supplies.
As a result, internal discontent had recently erupted within the Liberation Front – to the point that it had even reached Aiden, an outsider.
Even so, until recently, the Liberation Front had managed to suppress such dissent through their characteristic rigid discipline.
