Hunter of the Perished World

The march continues. It appears that the realm of the monster mosquitoes that appeared near Sorwin's compound is off limits. But the mosquito still erupted. Ordinary mosquitoes came to their senses, like flying mosquitoes whenever they touched the bush.

Naturally, ordinary mosquitoes bite Leona.

”I feel terrible.... “

That's why Leonardo had to put bat poop on his body like gin and ramfil. Every time she saw Lamfil and Jean applying bat poop, Leona's complexion became poopy as she put it on her body.

”You look very happy. “

”Don't give me that shit! “

”Isn't that what you did? Ah, don't come any closer. It stinks.“

”Ugh, ugh! Really!“

Ramfil teases Leona as if he had waited for this moment. Ramfil's words plagued Leona, and it was a landscape even though Jean saw it.

‘No, did you accumulate that much... ’

Ramfil doesn't stop until Leona waxes and screams and kicks out Ramfil's filth.

Puck!

”Aah!“

Of course, the kicked Leona trembles, holding onto her shin. You kicked the leg of a cyborg fighter with all your might, so it was enough not to roll the floor.

”Really…. It's just so damn sturdy... “

As Leona narrows her tears, Ramfil shrugs and smiles bloody.

”Violence, my ass. “

”What's your favorite person in the world of violence? “

”Don't keep yelling. It stinks.“

”You're wearing it! “

”The smell on your side is particularly nasty. “

”Aah!“

Ramfil was getting ahead of himself in a speech fight. So, it seemed like the two of them wouldn't be over for a while.

A long time later,

Tired of Ramfil's struggle, Leona looks out to Ramfil right next to him, and Ramfil smiles at the winner.

I didn't forget to scratch one last time.

”I won. “

”Yes, you are! “

”I smell more on your side... “

”Enough!“

He seemed to be avenged for some time in return for his accumulated karma.

Mosquito-repellent bat dung had a substantial amount, and Gene kept it empty and took it out whenever he needed to.

”But if you put it in there, it'll just smell like something else, right? “

Leona wonders if the smell of bat poop inside the vacuum is getting on the object.

”I've never smelled before. “

”Am I going in there? “

”You'd better not. “

”Why?“

”I don't know what it looks like in here. “

Gene carries an empty scrubber around, but he doesn't know where it leads.

”I put something alive in it once, but it was alive when I brought it back out.... “

Gene blurred his words as if he was unsure.

”It's some kind of degradation bond. “

”Degradation bond?“

”When you store it, it breaks down into very small units, and when you take it out, you reassemble it. exactly what it looked like when you put it in. “

Therefore, the emptying machine does not store the finished object in its finished form. Materials that are put into spaces with a constant volume degrade like powder and fill the subspace. And when it's taken out, it's reassembled.

Of course, this wasn't exactly what Gene knew either.

”It turns to powder and rebuilds, and then you have to think about whether what I put in when I took it out was right. “

”I don't know what it is, but it's fucking scary. “

”So don't think about going into the void and wandering around comfortably. “

Gene grins as if he saw through Leona's heart, and she gasps.

”Well, I never said that. “

”I can see it. “

”Tsk... “

No matter how comfortable you want to go, it is uncomfortable to be broken down and reconstituted into molecular units.

The vast jungle was still giving off a breathtaking heat, so Leonardo, who was an evil man, had to tire.

”Hah... Hah..."

Leona didn't say it was hard, not hard when she got dizzy. That's why Ramfil stops at the camp, watching Leona follow him around with his teeth crossed. Ramfil looked at Leona and said,

”Get on your back.“

”Never mind... Never mind... “

”Shut up. Get on your back. “

” ……. “

Leona staggers as if she were going to collapse immediately, and even looks dangerous. After drinking the water in the barrel, Leona is carried on her back by Jamzako Ramfil. Now was not a stubborn situation. Gene is on his way, so he's not in a position to carry Leona.

With Leona on Ramfil's back, the march speed is roughly three times faster.

Bam! Bam!

Swinging a steel blade, the gin moved almost to a running level, and Ramfil also quickly followed the camp in various features, including slippery tree trunks.

Leona wraps her hand around Ramfil's neck and mutters in a small murmur.

”Ramfil…. “

It was a voice full of fatigue, and Leona's tone sank.

”Why.“

”Smells like shit... “

”You're not tired. Get some sleep. “

With Leona's voice blowing in vengeance as they were all dying, Ramfil said so, but smiling with his mouth. Leona soon fell asleep in this sticky, humid weather, wrapped her hands around Ramfil's neck very tightly.

While Leona was asleep, progress continued. But it was also true that the pace of march was, of course, significantly different from that of the desert or plains.

”I don't know when I'll get there at this rate. “

The distance to the destination was far, and the pace of march was slow, and time was lagging immensely. It's not a matter of time, but Leona's insufferability today proves that the march in the jungle is not good enough.

Gene was also troubled by the problem.

‘Leona is obviously struggling. It's true that the jungle march is hard to tolerate even adult men.... ’

What followed me around with that little body was not enough to say that it was great. But I couldn't go through the forest anymore.

At this rate, Leona was dangerous if she was bitten by mosquitoes, even by deadly illnesses or heat sickness. You're not a monster. You're losing Leona to a disease.

”Stop for a second. “

Leona has been good and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in the future. Gene pauses, placing his hand on Leona's sleeping forehead.

”I think I have a bit of a fever... “

Even so, Leona did not wake up. It must have been that hard. Although it doesn't look like there's a big problem yet, this march is clearly giving Leona a big crowd. Gene made a quick decision.

”I think it's a little risky, but it's better that way. “

”What's that? “

”The Mekong River is nearby. Let's build a raft and go down the river. “

Once you get down to the river, you're sure Leona won't catch a fever. Ramfil bites back with a fat expression.

”Why are you saying that now? “

Ramfil tilts his head as if to why he's endured all this trouble.

”The Mekong is the largest and longest river in the basin. “

”Then we might as well put her on a boat. “

”That's how many underwater monsters there are. “

In response, Ramfil shuts up. Leona sounds like she would rather ride a river full of aquatic life than get sick.

”That's what you meant by taking a risk.... “

Gene is looking at Leona's complexion with a firm expression.

”Killing monsters is enough. Not the disease. “

As a demon-hunter, he was confident and able to speak because he knew what his limits were.

Monsters can be killed. But there's nothing you can do about it. I originally had no intention of using the Mekong to make a stop, but seeing Leona's condition changed my mind completely.

”Let's go quickly so we can get there within the day. “

”Good.“

Gin and Ramfil began to push forward a little faster.

Mekong River.

The longest river in Southeast Asia reaches the Tibetan plateau to the north and to the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula. Although it is not a turbulent stream, it also looks very difficult to swim because the river flows twice as wide as before its destruction.

It was a long river to go around Twilight City, Old Ho Chi Minh City. Clearly, it was faster than going through the forest.

The river flowing into the yellow soil seemed like water that no one should drink before or now. By the time we got to the river, it was already late, and Ramfil had Leona lying on a wooden stump.

Homelessness in the jungle is a terrible thing. There are many bugs, and they are so terribly humid that they can hardly sleep. But Leona was sleeping well.

”Are you sick? “

Ramfil lays a hand on Leona's forehead, but she doesn't have a fever.

”I don't think so. You must be exhausted.“

Leona is asleep because she's just tired.

”Build a raft tomorrow. Rest today. “

”I'd like that. “

Gene pulls out a plate and burns two campfires. The damp timbers are not well lit, but Ramfil starts to burn as soon as the L20 lasers are lightly shot.

Gene puts a pot of river water in one campfire and throws bat dung on the other to smoke chasing the weevils. A simple water vapor condenser was installed on the pot to collect distilled water.

Ramfil tilts his head to see that kind of camp.

”You've done all right. “

”You and I are fine, but he needs to drink the right water. “

”Ah…. Come to think of it, yes. “

If you eat contaminated water and burn it, that's bad. Gene realizes that only after seeing Leona exhausted is she carrying a little girl in a witch's cloth. Ramfil looks at Leona, who is asleep and smiles bitterly.

”Somehow Leona doesn't seem to like it. “

”It's better than rotting in pain. “

”I agree."

It's bad to take kindness for granted, but even someone who feels guilty about being cared for like Leona is not that good. To some extent, it needed to be taken for granted.

I was fine with it, but I didn't want Leona to get sick, either. They've been acting too alone for too long. Leona has done a lot of unbearable things without giving her a hard time.

The two were now fairly slow humans, realizing that it wasn't normal.

The next day,

Leona takes an unbelievably long sleep and sets her base like a bird waking from an egg.

”I feel like I woke up dead.... “

I muttered with cloudy eyes for a moment, and Leona woke up from a place where her energy had gone up just by sleeping one day. Her eyes sparkle, and yesterday's profound fatigue has cleared her away.

Leona was definitely not normal after overcoming the fatigue of the pushers who had slept a little too much.

”River...? “

Leona sees a yellow river flowing in front of her, and Gin and Ramfil are nowhere to be found. When I saw Jim here, I wondered where he went for a while.

”Over!“

Wood Duck!

You hear a cracking tree in the background, close to the voice of Ramfil.

Kuang!

”What the hell? “

What the hell is all this commotion? Leona gets up, sees the void on the left and opens her eyes wide.

”What, what is this? “

There were already five beautiful logs there. Then Ramfil, who appeared in the jungle, walks over his shoulder with a giant log and hurls it into the void.

Bang!

Ramfil was carrying a huge log that no ordinary person could lift one end of, like a pillow. Ramfil glanced at Zec as Leona slowly approached with a frown.

”Ah, you're up. “

”What's all this? “

”I have something to use. How are you feeling? “

Leona looks down at herself and bounces back three times, asking what she doesn't normally ask.

”That's refreshing. Why... “

Ramfil grabs Leona by the wrist and pauses for a moment. Leona had no idea what Ramfil was up to.

”Heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature are normal, so they should be fine. “

Ramfil nods to make sure he knows everything just by holding his wrist for a moment. All of a sudden, Leona tilts her head after what Ramfil didn't do.

”Gene will be here soon. I'll have breakfast.“

”Uh, uh... Yes.“

Leona feels something strange, but she's more concerned about the use of giant logs piled up in front of her. Soon, Gene came back with a huge quantity of vines around his shoulders and threw them on the log.

”Ah, you're up. “

Gene looks at Leona standing still and says something suspicious. She approaches Leona, grabs her wrist like Ramfil did, and puts her hands on her forehead for another drink.

”Everything is normal.... Any particular pain, especially headaches? “

”Ah, yes... It's okay."

Leona nods, expressing a look of awkwardness.
