Chapter 642: A Reunion and Leaving the Capita [1]
The girl’s breath hitched as she stepped into the corridor of the empty building. Her throat burned for water, and her stomach growled from hunger.
When last did I even eat something? she vaguely remembered it was about two days ago. The only reason she had lasted this long was because she was an Awakened.
Awakened were superhuman—naturally stronger than normal humans. Their hunger tolerance rate was high, but water... water wasn’t something they could go long without.
"I have to hurry!" Even though her vision was blurry, she didn’t stop. She kept pushing forward, even as her body screamed at her to give up.
Soon, she drew close to the battlefield, but before she could leave through the doors of the building, she heard distant footsteps.

There were over a hundred demons—all heading toward the direction of the fighting.
Fortunately, because they were so focused on the ongoing battle, none of them noticed her presence inside the classroom.
After the group passed, she slowly emerged and continued toward the battlefield.
