Chapter 380 - 356 - Change One
Phosphorus Structure Island, The First Section Island
A black-haired woman, clad in a tight-fitting brown leather armor, stood with one foot on a stone while holding a lit cigarette between her fingers, from which white smoke leisurely wafted out from her nose. Although she wore tight armor that exposed her thighs and arms, much like those seen in video games, every part of her that was bared was knotted with muscles, her skin dark and tough, covered in crisscrossing scars. There was not a hint of femininity to be found sexy.
The woman’s eyes were fixated on the direction of the Second Phosphorus Structure Island, her gaze cold and predatory, puffing on her cigarette breath by breath.
Behind her was a riverside clearing with a makeshift campsite that was neither too large nor too small. Between the white tents, several men dressed in the same brown leather armor huddled around a bonfire, cooking fish. The crackling sound of the fire would occasionally disrupt the silence. The fish, slightly burnt, kept on turning over the fire, steadily dripping fat.
"Boss, how much longer do we have to stay here? It’s almost been a month; when will the special forces from above come to replace us?" complained a man who was rolling a fish atop a stick over the fire.
The man opposite him said nothing, but swept a cautious glance at the black-haired woman standing to the side from the corner of his eye.
Breathing out another ring of smoke, the woman turned. "They should be arriving soon, what’s the rush?"
"Been stuck in this godforsaken place for so long, my anger’s flaring up," the man chuckled twice.
"Anger?" The woman’s face broke into a suggestive smile, "Go fuck your anger!"
Bang!!
The bonfire blasted explosively, fiercely engulfing the man who had just spoken. He screamed in pain, rolling on the ground as red flames spontaneously ignited over his body.
