Eleanor and Noire mostly done the work at the roof to install solar panels there to power each room while Daniel and Xavier did the rest under them. The two men cleared the rotting corpse scattered around the building, tossing them in the front store since the place is already clearly deserted.
Despite doing all the work in the building, the two men only managed to get one system item among the corpse.
"This might belonged to a class specialized in scouting." Daniel remarked.
[BINOCULARS - CAN ZOOM FROM 500 METERS TO 1000 METERS WITH CLEAR SIGHT BEFORE 500 METERS. CAN BE INFUSED WITH MANA TO HAVE A SIGHT OF THERMAL AS WELL AS WIND DIRECTION.]
They finished just before lunch and after eating their fill, the four set foot outside. Since there are new members, the supply of food will be cut and thus the overall stock in the building is only worth one day now, until tomorrow lunch again.
"The two of us will scout around the subway. If we're right, then let's clear group by group in the edge of their vicinity."
"The orges that we killed will might get reported after three days at max, if they didn't come here after that, then there is no need to change plans."
"Daniel and Eleanor, you guys stay here, outside and scout the area as well as gather some materials in the surrounding buildings."
"The two of us will scout ahead the subway." With that, Daniel and Eleanor went on a team and started their lookout while the rest, Noire and Xavier went South.
...
Noire and Xavier arrived at the southeastern side of the district where a train subway station will travel across the district from here to southwest, northeast, and northwest.
At the actual three story building of the train subway station, it was expected that the orges made this their base. Green banners with a strange symbols hanged in all side of the building and under it, green orges will be seen going in with some dead corpse of humans with their bodies wounded or have long limbs but those who came out seems regenerated.
"They need food to regenerate, if we take the case in the begining, then we can conclude that they regenerate after 2 hours of eating." Xavier remarked.
By this time, the two are far away from the subway building, more than 1 block away from them but the surrounding are clear of sight and their position is above the rooftop of a three story building thus they can see it here with the binoculars.
"Hmm, most group are compromised of five warrior orge. Considering this, let's lure some group in and out of their vicinity."
The two went on foot and traveled some distance before arriving just a road ahead of the the orges base. There can be seen an orge group heading their way and the two immediately provoked them.
"Hey greeny fuckers!" Xavier cursed loudly and as expected, the orges frowned before dashing towards them.
"Human, kill!"
"Hunt, humans!"
The two ran into to the nearest alley then stopped there. The alley was 2 person wide thus the two easily killed the group of five with Noire killing the three.
Noire leveled up to 9. Leveling up her "Blood Augmentation" to level 3.
The two kept persisting on upgrading their stats as they heavily rely on item as a source of enhancement and the skill and passive is more important than them.
The two continued this strategy while switching positions from time to time.
Before dawn, the two managed to level up past level 10.
[YOU UNLOCKED A NEW PASSIVE "BLOOD CONSUMPTION" - ALLOWS THE USER TO ABSORBE AND CONSUME BLOOD BY BITING OR INJECTING THEIR FINGERS ON THE SAME SPECIES AS THEM. ABSORBING OTHER SPECIE'S BLOOD WILL POISON THE HOST BUT AT MASTERAL LEVEL, THE USER CAN DIRECTLY RESERVE A BLOOD FROM OTHER SPECIES OUTSIDE THEIR BODIES.]
Noire leveled up to 10 with an experience of (531/1060). She used the reward to level her previous skill to 4.
Xavier on the other hand, leveled to 11 with a bar of (328/1590), using the reward for the masteral of double coin as well as the enhancement of physical body, increasing all stats related to it by one. For the level 10 skill, it was not. Instead it shows;
[YOU LEVELED TO LEVEL 10, YOU RECEIVED "THE CLASS SELECTION SYSTEM" - EVERY 12 HOURS, THE USER CAN SELECT A CLASS THEY OBSERVED AND HAVE KNOWLEDGE WITH, FOR 5 MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES DEPENDING ON THE UNDERSTANDING.]
"This is really a cheat." Xavier satisfied as his physical stats now are enhanced to level 2. After testing it earlier with some orges, soloing one group orges, he discovered that his physical stat in level 1 is the peak of a hardworking athlete, then at level 2, it peak the point of inhuman.
To simplified, the strength of the level 1 is able to deadlift 500 kilograms at max while level 2 inhuman can lift it at minimum. He still doesn't know the limit of level 2 inhuman since there is nothing to experiment from, unless the two decided to raid the base itself.
"I can freely use the blood magic now so I'll stay in rear with the two as well as protect them. You'll be the front to destroy the ranks infront." With that, the two went back to the building apartment.
While farming, they strictly followed their plan to kill and run, change and be chased. Thus, this resulted on the not leaving any traces to be track on towards their base.
The sun settled west when the two arrived at the apartment. Daniel was seen moving some carts with solar panels on them while Eleanor guard him up. They just came from the big store at south when they stumbled upon the couple.
...
The old man earlier the other day, held his chest with his hand as he sat on a sofa.
"Please, join the Righteous Rising Group, Mr. Gallard!" A man infront of him was young but had experience since he had some scars around his body and face as well as wearing a military black and blue clothes.
Gallard, infront of the young caresses his wounded left chest, reminiscing about the other day. He clearly remembered the face of that two hooligans that attacked him after saving them.
"You're right, Chris. This chaotic world need an old man like me."
...
"They're must be surely enjoying their life right now." Xian Darkira, sat on a golden throne embedded with crystal diamonds.
She was infront of a large army with black and blue military uniforms. There are banners held by each battalion with blue background and a strage symbol colored in blue.
"WE, THE RIGHTEOUS RISING GROUP, WILL FOLLOW THE GREAT DARKIRA!"
Xian, with chin high, smirked into satisfaction.
...
"The two of you didn't encounter any monsters?" Xavier questioned and the two shook their head in unison.
"Bullshit, the two of you hid away until dark to get some supplies easily." Noire rebutted. The two shook their head with fear this time.
"Come on, there is really no monsters that went nearby, this is supposed to be your doing. Farming yourself while we rot here." Eleanor build up the courage to speak.
"Enough you all." Xavier ordered. "Tomorrow, we'll start hunting and will live the apartment for a while. We will clear the subway starting tomorrow and we'll follow the plan of you going into one group different than mine."
After dinner, Xavier with more endurance and stamina, decided to sleep later half of the night with Noire.
Eleanor slept in their room while Daniel decided to stay next door.
Clang!
They cheered their canned beers before gulping a mouthful. They sat at the apartment room balcony in their hom, staring at the lit up train subway station in the far. Orges built some bonfire there using human corpse as torch and fuel.
"Hey, I'm doubting about our plan to raid the train subway." Noire shared her thoughts as she crossed leg sat there with Xavier who listened attentively. (Discussion between the two is simultaneous starting now.)
"I'm open ears for you."
"Hmm... Let's stall time for the orges to grow."
"Why?"
"If we let the orges grow their army here as their center point, our base will be unlikely to be discovered by other players."
"Hmm... And how we will leave and enter? Build a tunnel?"
"Every night, especially when the moon is absent."
"The supplies?"
"We'll get that from others... Bro, I'm not telling us to stay here passively. We will just set this location as our home base."
"Yeah, we planned to explore other districts as well, afterall."
"So... Be it?"
"Yeah, we'll just head northeast here, there might be other monsters there."
"We're also leaving southwest?"
"Mmm, the orges spawned there joined the forces of the southeast."
The night was still young, the two sat there and after drinking the beer, Noire leaned closer to Xavier.
Feeling each other warmth, they slowly kissed and went to another room after that.
