Chapter 62: The Edge of Desperation      

[Days Before]

One day had passed since Druger joined the group, and Rain had noticed the townsfolk coming into his territory.

Don't get him wrong, he wasn't against accepting them. They were of great help. It was only that . . . how could they have known the exact location of their shelter?

The Barren Wasteland was vast and treacherous. Without a map, one could easily get lost in its desolate expanse.

'Suspicious.'

Rain laughed it off, dismissing Chi's worries and his as mere paranoia. But when night fell, and Chi reported the sighting of a strange bird that hadn't been there before, he realized with a sinking feeling that Druger might be leading them to his shelter.

Rain instructed Chi to spy on Druger one night, and what she discovered sent chills down his spine.
