Day 119 - 10:15 AM - Central Area, Mountain Base, Mount Malabito, General Nakar, Quezon
A vortex of magical energy, it was not wrong to call it that. The fog was too thick, but instead of the usual scientific water vapor, Magical Energy caused this phenomenon instead. Fortunately, there was some visibility inside the base because of the lights that they installed before they left. There was also the red glow from Chiyo, the Night Everred Spirit Tree, that seemed to lessen the fog inside the base.
Looking towards outside the walls, however, the visibility was a total zero. The mountain tops in the northern areas outside the base were not visible at all. Not to mention the forest outside, there was only about a dozen meters area outside where the fog was thinner.
Because of the fog, no one was unnecessarily outside their dwellings. That was why it made the place look more like a ghost town.
Here's today's chapter!
So, Mark split up their group. Well, it was better since Pefile and Teremillio should be worried about their families.
On the other hand, it seems like Huey's suspicions were right. One of the goals of the enemies were to weaken them by disabling them to gather food and other necessities.
But the main thing was that the enemies took interest in the base itself and not only the Spirit Tree. If that is the case, it was better to secure the resources and manpower than a pointless massacre.
