Capítulo 40: Rustle in the Bushes
Titania wads through the running waters of the river towards the dead, naked bear. It's pink wrinkled flesh partially submerged in the water with the other half in the air. The waters despite their force are unable to move this massive beast.
As he moves forward the water freeze his legs, sending chills through his body. This slows him down a bit but he still moves forward the bear. He plans to drag it on to the bank of the river and do his best to cook it. As for how he would start a fire to do so... He'll know when he gets there.
The rushing waters are loud in his ears and the shivering coldness of the water dulls his senses even more. Unbeknownst to him just behind him bushes were rustling.
It was not Ajax, for he was told just to monitor him and he knows that his dad prefers a strict translation when it comes to orders. In fear of what would happens if he were to go against what his dad said, he maintained his distance from Titania and watched from afar, never getting too close but never losing sight of him.
Soon someone emerges from the bushes with a blade in hand, their steps sound softly on the forest floor. They didn't bring a gun in case that the sound of the discharge would alert the facility, however seeing that the Target has a gun it was their own blunder. Their face can not be seen by the average man as it is obscured by a layer of cloth, thin enough for the wearer to breathe comfortable but thick enough to no one to see through it.
They have been tailing Titania through the forest as soon as he was out of eyeshot of the facility. Now was the chance to strike! He was alone and by himself. He must be hungry and tired for them watched the entire time, seeing Titania never stop to take a break or eat. But it would be foolish to attack now. They would wait until the target would leave the river and let down his guard.
The mission that they have been set on is to capture the target. However the target must be alive, not in one piece. The capturer already came up with a plan in mind to make it an easy mission. They would first disable his ability to move by cutting the patellar tendon, it the muscle in the human body that is responsible for the ability to raise the knee. They would slice at least one but if the target would still be able to move enough to get free then they would slice the other, making them unable to run away or even walk without months or years of rehabilitation.
Then after slicing away the targets ability to walk then it would move onto the targets ability to make sound. Under normal circumstances the capturer would just stuff the targets mouth with a thick object and then tie a cord tight enough to keep it in place, for if you were to stuff something into the mouth the person could just spit it out. However, after seeing the target kill the bear with a special powder that came out of its mouth they wouldn't be taking any sort of chance after what it can do. The capturer would probably stuff his mouth to the point of making it almost unbreathable and tie several strings around his mouth and jaw to keep it shut.
However, they would like to collect a sample after seeing what it can do to a bear, imagine what it could do to the average human.
But they wait in silence for the perfect moment to strike and capture as Titania wads through the rushing water.
When Titania finally got to the bear's body he felt a sense of reward; he was able to get a source of food that would last him for multiple days. Now was the more difficult part, getting the bear out of the river. Now that the bear was dead it would be more difficult to carry it as the weight would be thrown all over the place. However with his new found strength from the infection, carrying it would be significantly easier compared to a regular person doing so.
When Titania submerged part of his body to get his hands under the bear's to make carrying it easier. He struggled, not from the weight of the bear but rather from the size. He struggled to get his arms around it into a comfortable position.
When he finally got his arms in a spot where he can easily carry a notification sound rang through his eyes and then the panel appeared in his vision.
[Emergency Mission!]
[Description: Survive against the Capturer/s! They are waiting for you at the bank of the river. Conditions to clear the mission is to at least disable the Capturer/s. Any means to do so is accepted]
[Reward: Class Talent (Unique)]
When Titania saw this a quick feeling of fear shot through his body. The water which he was growing numb to started to feel cold. The bear's body felt heavier. However after this quick moment of weakness he realized that he had a possible for him to complete it.
He tapped around his body to find the gun that he was given. Once he knew where it was, he was thankful that it was dry; if it was then the gun could jam itself, might rust, or the bullet's gunpowder could get wet making them ineffective. Knowing this he came up with a quick plan. Well, what he would do when he meets the capturer.
Seeing the system completion conditions, he would choose to disable the enemy. He would then interrogate them for answers on who they are, what do they want, why him, etc.
He already had a faint idea. They could be from countries that are enemies or some private organization. But alas they are just wild guesses.
Titania, bear in hand, walks toward the riverbank.
