Chapter 45: The source
"Hmm, that’s odd. The river isn’t purified." Gwen noticed as she and Kai walked along the bank.
"I left it that way on purpose. This way, we can follow the water to the source."
"Ahh, that makes sense. But why are we walking in the opposite direction from the water?"
"Because if the river is being contaminated, then the contamination will flow with the river, not against it."
"Ohhh, I get it. Wow, you’re smart!"
’No, you’re just dumb. Wow! That was mean. Don’t worry, my lovely Gwen, you’re not dumb. Wait, I haven’t fucked her yet! Damn, I need to get on that soon. After this quest.’
They followed the bank for two hours, stopping here and there to check the surroundings for anything suspicious before reaching the source. Upon reaching the end of the riverbank, they spotted a large lake surrounded by rocky hills and plant life growing wildly.
"Is this the place?" Gwen asked, taking a look around.
"Dunno, we’ll have to check." Instead of wasting time, Kai used his super vision to see if there was anything around. His eyes came to a halt when he spotted an opening that led to a cave in the hill that was blocked off by hanging vines, moss, and a boulder that was inside the cave, which acted as a door.
"Over there." Kai pointed. "There’s a cave behind that boulder."
Gwen looked at the spot where Kai was pointing. "What boulder?"
