Chapter 5
The group of seven
“Did you see them?”
Claire hurried to close the pace between herself and Tendzel who had just entered the abandoned hut.
“Yea. They found the jet. I found them eating meat. I almost got caught, so I ran away.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Tendzel reported to the bevy of ladies. The only person missing in the group was Alison.
“But I couldn’t find Alison with them.”
“Did you move any closer?”
Lisa walked towards Tendzel now. Tendzel shook her head. Lisa continued,
“She probably is in the jet. Since you didn’t get to check the jet, we can’t be sure what to decide on.”
Claire on the other hand was restless. She kept on pacing the displaced inn of the hut. It smelled like shit inside.
“But how is that possible? That loser! How could he had suddenly settled in to this island as though it’s his father’s house!!! How could he get whatever he want… where did he get all the items from. And you said he was eating meat. How could he when us, the high-class ladies have been starving since yesterday.”
She screamed on top of her voice in frustration. Majority of the rest of the ladies couldn’t say a thing. Claire had the royal gait.
“I say we go to the jet and claim it. It was ours after all!!! How dare he steal it from us?!!”
“Yes… yes!!!”
Lisa supported and the rest joined in one after the other.
“And that Ayisha bitch! How dare she betray us. I can’t think of what she saw in that loser. Well, I won’t be surprised, writers do have weird tastes.”
Claire shrugged the thought of it off as though thinking of Damien was like doing a puke.
“All these sound good, but shouldn’t we be looking for something to eat right now? We haven’t had anything since yesterday.”
Jada, the shy, collected and reasonable of them all called their attention. Each girl was beginning to see sense in what Jada had just said.
Noticing the girls’ aligned reactions, smart Claire quickly said,
“That’s true. We should eat something first. After all, we can’t fight for what is ours on empty stomachs.”
She looked across the room, picking each of the ladies in her rude but gorgeous eyes. She was a hell of a beauty.
“Lisa. Lead three of the girls out to find something to eat. The rest will fix this place up.”
Lisa didn’t argue with her. She picked three of the girls.
“Jada will stay with us.”
Claire made an exception when Lisa almost picked Jada. Now in two groups, the ladies left to work.
Speaking of how the ladies escaped. It was quite a group rescue and Claire was the one who saved almost all of them. Now you know why the bunch owed their allegiance to her.
Damien was back to the plain. The plain was in a square form. It was quite large but not too large.
IT’S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE CLAIRE AND HER TROUPE FIND THE JET. I SHOULD START BUILDING SOMETHING. AND THIS A GOOD SPOT.
“But how do I get all these traps away. How do I?”
He tried to come to a conclusion. He knew that there were a lot of possibilities tied to the decision he was about to make, but he was ready to take risks. He wouldn’t refuse to act because of the fear of the unknown. He’d rather act and wait for the consequences, then face it heroically.
Back at the jet, he’d left Ayisha sleeping. He was sure to keep her safe inside before leaving her all by herself. And now was the time to worry about the main deal.
He threw a stone this time into the plain. The traps grew out. He continued to throw more, observing the pattern of the traps and how they’d been coordinated.
Then he noticed that their was a connection between the four large trees in each corner of the square, and the traps. There must be a very subtle formation.
WHOEVER MADE THE TRAPS MUST HAVE QUITE A CIVILISED MIND. AND IF NOT CIVILISED, AT LEAST MUST BE VERY DEADLY.
He decided to walk round the edges of the plain and used his climbing skills to get to the top of each tree to cut off the connection of the traps.
AS INTELLIGENT AS THE TRAP MAKER WAS, HE’S QUITE DUMB TO HAD MADE THIS KIND OF CONNECTION. EVEN A DULLARD WOULD FIGURE IT OUT TOO SOON.
He threw several stones but the traps had been disengaged. He smiled to himself. That was a first and promising step he had taken towards progress.
He walked into the plain and stood in the middle.
THIS SPOT WILL BE FOR THE BIG PROJECT.
He decided to walk to the East of the plain to one of the trees. He decided to start building a small space there.
He flipped out the system window and look through the skills. There were few skills unlocked, and numerous still locked! Amongst the unlocked were, JUNGLE CHEF, WILD CAPENTER and LORD OF THE HUNTS.
He didn’t think twice. He clicked on the WILD CAPENTER. The usual three levels came up,
Level one – 800 points
Level two – 1500 points
Level three – 3500 points
He clicked on the level two and exchanged 1500 points for the WILD CAPENTER skills.
[Ping! Wild CAPENTER level two unlocked. 1500 experience points used.]
He started work. Each skill comes with the tools for work: meaning he could bring out amateur tools from the system for the exchanged skills.
He cut as many trees as possible, making them into planks suitable for the construction. After several hours of working, he had erected a four cornered five feet apartment, with a one large room, a kitchen
place and rest room.
He was very sure to demarcate the bathing space and the John. He had learnt from the skill that there was a kind of leaf which suppreses the smell of waste. He had cut enough of them. They wouldn’t have to worry about having a toilet around.
He had made sure to set traps in some thoughtful places because of wild animals!
Initially, the new construction was just for the time being. He knew anything could happen anytime. And if nothing happened for real, he would start the real project.
[Ping! Constructed a safehouse and gained 2000 experience points!]
He smiled to himself at the little achievement. He was glad that he got much experience points!
“Now that all this is done. I should find some good fruits and press them into wine. We can’t keep eating drinking only coconut water.”
Suddenly, he heard a whistling. At first he thought it was the idle winds playing a trick on him but the whistle came again and again.
“Ayisha.”
His heart crumbled in his chest. He dropped the Saw and Hammer in his hand. He ran like crazed panther towards the jet.
“God help whoever it is!!”
