Nathan wasn't invisible as he carried Zita on his arms with her arms wrapped around his neck and ran through the forest at full speed.
Although there were houses and other buildings at the side of the road in Fort Yano, most were trees because the military camp itself was, after all, located near the mountains outside of Nabe City and Kelurga City.
Zita had her eyes closed because of the sudden burst of speed made by Nathan.
She opened her eyes.
'I can see things…'
Back in Womania when Nathan first carried her on his arms and ran as they leave the government shelter in Burrow City, her vision was blurry and the only thing she could see what Nathan.
But now, because of her level and the items she had on, she could see her surroundings.
'Mister is really fast…'
'It's like he has more than 50 points in AGi…'
'But how is that possible if he also has high VIT and very high STR…?'
'Isn't there a 30-point threshold…?'
'Maybe mister's level is very high…?'
'But he said that he was Level 27…'
'Maybe he lied to--'
Boom!
Nathan stepped on a landmine and it exploded, but he didn't lose a leg.
Instead, the explosion just caused him to lose his balance and roll on the grass while still maintaining his arms wrapped around Zita.
Fortunately, because Nathan was moving too fast and partnered with his long strides, when he stepped on the mine and released his foot, he was already a few feet away from the mind when it exploded.
Riiinnnggg…
Nathan's ears were ringing as got up.
There were leaves and dirt on his face and body.
He shook his head a few times before glancing at Zita on his arms.
"Zita, are you okay?"
Her ears were also ringing.
She could hear Nathan speaking but the ringing sound on her ears was drowning the words coming out of his mouth that she could barely hear it, let alone understand it.
"Zita, are you okay?"
She blinked and shook her head a few times.
"Zita, are you okay?"
Although she could still hear some ringing sounds, she could now more or less hear and understand what Nathan was saying.
"Yes, mister. It's just that my ears… I can't hear properly."
"That's fine. It will eventually go away."
He looked behind him and saw the small crater made by the landmine.
'Good thing Muwin is a third-world country…'
'They're military weapons are a bit behind…'
He looked up at the sky.
'I don't hear helicopters…'
He looked back at the small crater.
'I don't think they'd be crazy enough to follow me here in this landmine-infested forest…'
'It's not I'm some kind of high-ranking or special wanted criminal or something…'
'In their eyes, I'm just some poor infected schmuck running away -- No, a dead man needlessly struggling…'
'However, if for some reason they're really adamant in chasing and capturing me, I can only assume that they will be waiting for me at the end of the forest or somewhere there aren't any landmines anymore…'
'If that's the case…'
He summoned 10 Healing Packets.
He gave 5 pieces to Zita.
"Keep these inside your mouth. They're healing potions. If you ever get injured, tear them open with your teeth. Don't worry about swallowing the plastic wrapper. You can always vomit them anyway afterward."'
When the liquid inside the [Small] Healing Potion is removed and placed on another container, the System is unable to identify it.
"Okay," Zita said and kept the packets inside her mouth.
Nathan placed the other 5 packets inside his mouth before resuming running.
Voooooom!
Just after a few steps…
Boom!
Another landmine exploded.
Just like from the first explosion, Nathan lost his balance and rolled over with Zita on his arms.
However, instead of pausing to ask if she was okay, he just got up and continued running.
Boom!
This time around, Nathan didn't lose his balance and continued running.
***
A convoy with more than seven vehicles along with about a hundred soldiers, some were walking by the side of the vehicles while others were on riding on the vehicles and covered in bandages, was traveling down the main road to Fort Yano.
Boom!
There was an explosion and it was coming from the jungle near the foot of the mountain, causing some of the soldiers to turn in its direction.
"What do you think that is?" one soldier said.
"Beats me. Could be an animal or a zombie that wandered into the minefields. I don't know," another soldier replied.
Boom!
There was another explosion and it seemed to be getting closer to their direction.
"Another explosion. Could it be?"
"If it's a zombie or zombies, doesn't matter. We'll easily take care of it. In fact, I bet people here are hoping it's a Rank 2 for that juicy EXP."
"Speaking of EXP, I'm almost Level 25 now. How about you?"
Boom!
The explosion was getting even closer.
"Almost 25? Weak," the soldier said and scoffed. "I'm already 26. "
The other soldier scoffed and said, "At least my items have better stats than yours. Also, I have both range and melee spells."
"What did you say?!"
"What, you want a piece of me?!"
"You two sissies stand down!" a higher-ranking soldier said.
The two stood in attention and said, "Yes, sir!"
"We just came back from killing those zombie bastards at Base 3-C and you two sissies still have a lot of energy left, huh. Very impressive. Once we get back at the camp, I'll have the both of you jog inside the camp for 10 kilometers as a reward!"
The two didn't say anything.
"I'm not hearing the answer I want to hear! Or are you two sissies telling me you're not satisfied with the reward?!"
"No, sir! We're thankful for the reward, sir!"
"Okay, since you two sissies are really thankful and I'm also feeling generous, I'll make it 20 kilometers!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"What?"
"THANK YOU, SIR!!!"
The other soldiers chuckled.
The officer smiled and said, "That's more I like it! After that, I'm going to treat you two sissies a case of beer!"
The two soldiers smiled and said, "THANK YOU, SIR!!!"
Boom!
The explosion this time was just several meters away from the convoy.
Although the vehicles of the convoy didn't stop, some of the soldiers did and they were waiting in anticipation.
Some of them already pulled out their System weapons, while others were ready to throw out a spell any moment.
And if one would look closely at their eyes, all they could see were lust for EXP.
They suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming their way.
Thud.....!
Thud....!
Thud...!
Thud..!
Thud!
Whoosh!
A 2.2m-tall man donned in black and holding a child in pink on his arms came bursting out of the trees.
And before soldiers could even react, the man in black with the child in pink on his arms already leaped over the soldiers and one of the vehicles and landed at the other side of the road.
Bam!
Thud!
Thud..!
Thud...!
Thud....!
Thud.....!
Upon landing, the man in black didn't stop and resumed running until he disappeared into the buildings.
The soldier also couldn't help but notice that whoever that man or thing was, he or it was at the very least as fast as an S2.
"What the fuck was that?" one of the soldiers said.
No one answered.
One soldier went to a high-ranking officer and gave a salute.
"Sir, requesting permission to pursue whatever that thing was."
"Stand down."
"Sir, it came from the minefields that we set up. It could be related to --"
"I said, stand down, soldier. Whoever or whatever that thing was, it's none of our concern at the moment."
"Yes, sir!"
He glanced at where the man in black with the child in pink on his arms disappeared before resuming marching.
***
Inside one of the vehicles…
There were three people sitting at the back of an armored vehicle.
One was a 60-year-old brown-skinned Asian man reading a Trinitian holy book.
Another was a 19-year-old half-brown-skinned Asian and half-African girl chewing bubblegum while listening to music with her headphones.
And the last one was a 27-year-old brown-skinned Asian man looking through the windows.
"Guys, did you see that?" the 27-year-old man said as he continued to look through the windows.
Neither of the two responded.
The teenage woman just continued listening to the music blasting on her headphones.
The old man, on the other hand, flipped a page and continued reading.
"That guy was fast. At the very least he's as fast as an S2. No wonder those mines didn't do shit. Or perhaps he has a skill that makes him invulnerable to such things," he said and then turned to the two. "Do you think he's a Prophet like us?"
Noticing the gaze of the man, the teenage woman looked away in annoyance.
Meanwhile, the old man glanced at the man.
"If he is, then God will certainly see to it that he will cross path with us and join our flock," he said and then went back to reading.
