Chapter 48: A Short Reprieve
Several hours had gone by before Min-ho and his cohorts finally decided to rest up.
Once again they were battered and bruised to a degree that would have been deadly had it not been for their armor.
Though many of them were afraid the durability of the Commoner’s Armor was at risk. A quick System check had revealed to them that they still had a while longer to be with the armor.
Now huddled up in the first floor of a storey building, the fighters in the team lay sprawled on the floor, breathing hard while wincing from pain.
It hadn’t been an easy couple of hours, because after they had dealt with the Worm Hounds they threw into the pit. Not long after, they ran into another Worm. Then another, and another, and another.
More than half of those hours had been spent battling one Worm Hound or the other. According to Ji-su, they had left the Safe Zone for approximately 5 hours, yet they only managed to cover a distance of 10 kilometers. Which did seem like much, but not according to their schedule.
This thought bothered Min-ho, which made him get onto his feet with a slight groan.
He turned to Ji-su and called.
"Ji-su."
Ji-su turned to him, his eyes wide with curiosity.
"Please follow me," he said, then turned toward the corner of the building that housed a stairway.
