Chapter 148: Gathering in the tunnel

"Is everything ready?" Tom turned his face towards Marvin as soon as he entered the tunnel. 

"Not yet," the young man replied with a slight frown. "Gathering everything of use can take time, you know?" he threw before resting his back against the rough surface of the dugout. 

"I didn't ask to imply blaming you," Tom muttered before shaking his head. "Well, it doesn't matter if it will happen a few minutes later or earlier," he added, turning his eyes towards the depths of the hole.

'It was a pain to come this way,' Tom thought, recalling the events he had to go through once emerging from the dungeon. 

'Not only did I have to fight with that girl again, not only I had to somehow sneak out from the middle of the most important place of the entire damned online hub, but I even had to dig half of the tunnel away with my very hands,' he thought, allowing the anger caused by all those troubles to take over his thoughts for a moment.
