บท 22: Bears Again.
Alex saw many people surrounding someone.
He went close and saw...
A bloodied man, fortunately not his father.
"Alexei!!!" Jannese rushed towards the man.
"Jann--es-e?" Alexei, who was lying on a big piece of white cloth, muttered, his eyes completely bloodied and almost no part of his physique was safe from blood.
"You... what happened???!!! WHERE IS RAY!!!" Jannese yelled out.
Alexei pulled his eyes down. "I... am sorry, Jannese..." He said this.
Jannese fell back with terror.
"No... No... No... its... its..." Before she lost consciousness, Alexei continued.
"He is alright..." Alexei said this.
Jannese regained her composure.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE TODAY!!!" She yelled out.
"What happened?"
"Tell us quick."
"We need to know."
Countless people surrounding Alexei asked.
A man with a white coat yelled out. He was a doctor named Jason.
"HAVE YOU GUYS NO SHAME!!! A MAN IS DYING!!! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! GET HIM UP!!!" He ordered his henchmen, and they pulled a white plastic bag-like cloth on the ground.
"No... Cough... please..." Alexei stopped them.
"Everyone, I know you are worried about your husbands... they are all alright. We were hunting like normal and got attacked by a wild boar. This boar was unimaginably strong, even stronger than a Brown Bear. It was insanely fast and strong, strong enough to knock down trees. We ran with a few injured and hid in a cave since the boar couldn't enter the cave. It managed to bring down boulders from the hill where the cave was. I was able to escape before they fell and came here while escaping the boar... they... got stuck... I believe... Cough... cough... cough..." Jason started to cough.
"Please, don't force yourself, Mr. Jason," Alex said.
Jason looked back and said, "You guys... have to save them... they will not be able to survive with that amount of air for long..." He fell back, losing consciousness.
As Jason was taken away, everyone talked among themselves.
"We need to notify the Leader." One man said this.
Everyone agreed with him. They needed to inform the leaders to save their people.
Everyone went towards the Leader's house.
Alex stood there and he heard everything.
"Is my father ok, Book?" He asked.
-- ~The Question, (Is my father ok, Book) The cost of the answer.
350 Coins --
"Yes," Alex's Book affirmed.
-- ~ Father is alright, but the air in the cave will only last for 83999 Days. The dangers: A sleeping lion bear at the end of the cave. Poisonous Moss: Touching one will kill you.
Sleeping Nest of Cave Hornets: One sting can cause suffocation with mild hallucinations and diarrhea.
"What..." Alex looked at the book, stupefied. He wasn't too worried about his father now, as he didn't think hunger alone could kill him. He knew how strong his dad was, and the air count regained his calmness, but...
"SHITTT!!!" Without any question, he rushed out.
"Shit, where is he?" Alex was about to ask about the book, but he realized.
"I can't be spending what I make like this. I may be rich now, but I am too used to spending what I have without any control. I need to stop. Now, where did they take Alexei?" Alex said.
"You know what? Fuck it. Where is my father's book?" Alex asked.
-- ~The location of your Father's whereabouts.
500 Coins --
"Give it," Alex responded.
The Book turned into a GPS-like map with a big red arrow drawn on it, and Alex smiled as he followed the arrow.

People were gathered in front of the Mansion. One person went inside and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a mildly well-dressed old man appeared.
"Hm?" Rudely, he looked annoyed at this peasant knocking on his door.
"What do you..." He was interrupted.
"Shut up, Rudeus. Call the Leader out." Another person knocked on the door. He was a handsome blonde man with blue eyes, and he looked of Greek descent with curly hair.
"Hmph." The old man went in and went towards the Leader's office.
As the Leader came down, he looked at the hundreds of people gathered on his lawn.
"What can I help you, fellow villagers?" He asked.
"Leader, our warriors have gotten stuck in some cave, and... and... they... managed."
"Leader, they thought and managed."
"Leader, they managed."
"It's like this..."
"We need to go."
"They will be also..."
Everyone started to talk at the same time.
"SILENCE!!!" The handsome man in front of everyone yelled out.
"We need the help of the Leaders. Our men got stuck in the cave, only one escaped, and he was very injured. Please send some warriors to save them," the handsome man explained.
The Leader looked down and sighed.
"I don't have many forces in this southern side of the Village anymore. Most of them are outside killing strong monsters for kids to be safe. I will call back a few of them, but I don't think the warriors can last that long..." The Leader was interrupted.
"Are you sure about this?" Everyone heard a voice and looked back.

Alex was jumping around the trees and looking down at the map. He was following an extremely detailed map for some reason.
"It can only show me about 150 kilometers. Damn, this is cool." Alex laughed, and he was about to reach the cave.
He was very close.
And finally, after a few seconds, he reached it.
"Hm?" He looked down and saw a bear resting outside the cave.
"Wait..." Alex held himself back from going out just yet. He was in the trees that were lush like bushes, with so many leaves.
"Bears like this are not normally this aggressive. I don't think this one is hungry either. It's not malnourished... so why is it so hell-bent on killing the warriors?" Alex went into thought.
He then stood up and made a fist as he hammered his hand.
"First one, they have stolen something from the bear. Second one, the bear smells something irresistible... Third one, this is not a bear at all." Alex looked down and...
The bear looked at him.
They blinked for a second. Alex smiled and sighed.
"Fuck." Alex responded.
