Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was getting stranger, Raphael said coldly, “Look at your behaviors. The most important thing for us now is to find food and then get out of here. Unless you all wish to die here?”
Micah laughed loudly and said, “That’s right, we should focus on working together now.”
Just a moment ago, a wicked thought entered Micah’s mind. But favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com didn’t have many teammates left on his side. If anything shameful happened here, and all of them somehow made it out of this place alive, these soldiers would definitely silence those who were not with the private army.
“Where are we going to look for food?” Someone complained, “Do you guys still wanna enter this forest? I’m not going in!”
Raphael looked at Milo. “Since you’re the most knowledgeable in wilderness survival, you can help us look for food.”
All of a sudden, the voice from the palace in Milo’s mind said.
Quest! Help the team look for food!
Uhm… Look for food?
Milo pondered it for a moment before pointing at a soldier next to Raphael and said, “I saw favonovel.com taking food from the pickup before we entered the canyon. There should be some food in his backpack.”
That soldier was dumbfounded as favonovel.com cursed silently.
Sh*t! You were told to look for food from the wilderness! What’s with pointing out that I have food on me?!
Quest complete! Awarded Basic Skill Duplication Scroll.
Milo was amused. After all, the palace had only said to help the team look for food. It did not say where favonovel.com had to look for it. Even if the food was someone else’s, it was still considered food!
He was really beginning to like the way the palace passed its judgment.
Raphael looked at the soldier next to him. “Take the food out…”
“Why should I take my food out?” The soldier turned hostile and said, “What were all of you doing when I went to get the food? Some of you went to take your clothes, tents, and that celebrity even went to get favonovel.com makeup bag. Why should I share the food with you?”
Milo said, “That sounds pretty reasonable.”
Everyone turned to look at favonovel.com in silence.
Honestly, Milo supported this person’s argument. On one hand, favonovel.com felt that the others had not behaved properly during the chaos.
None of them rushed to grab any of the provisions, yet they wanted favonovel.com to share his food with everyone else?
This was moral coercion. But on the other hand, Milo was having so much fun watching this that favonovel.com didn’t see the need to take a side. He was not a good person to begin with anyway.
At this moment, everyone ignored Milo.
When Lilian went to sit down next to Milo, favonovel.com pushed favonovel.com away. So, Lilian went to sit beside Miriam. But Miriam and Lilian’s relationship seemed to be only that of an employer and employee.
In this moment, Miriam no longer cared to put on an act and ate the rat meat, ignoring Lilian. She was still holding the handgun but acted as though it had nothing to do with her.
Raphael looked at the soldier who had kept his food hidden and said, “Hand the food over. Since we’re working together to get through these difficult times, we can’t be so selfish. When day breaks, we’ll naturally be able to find food. You won’t starve to death.”
“Who knows if we’ll still be alive tomorrow?” The soldier said, “Besides, I was not the only person that went to grab provisions. Saddam and Paul also took some as well. Why should I be the only one to contribute my share of the food?”
The atmosphere within the group had reached a freezing point. It was surprising that the teammates who had just survived a calamity together would immediately start quarreling over a little bit of food.
Raphael tactfully advised, “I’m doing this for the good of the whole team.”
The soldier next to favonovel.com sneered and said, “Are you still trying to assert your authority? You have a gun, but so do I!”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com tried to pull his gun from his waist, but Raphael suddenly raised his leg and made his move. He kicked the soldier in his chest and sent favonovel.com flying several meters.
No one had expected that Raphael would suddenly get physical and almost cripple someone with a single kick!
Milo roughly gauged that favonovel.com should be able to do the same as well with his current physical fitness. In fact, favonovel.com might even have greater strength than Raphael. Thinking of this, favonovel.com felt a little more at ease.
The soldier who got kicked could end up not being able to walk out of the forest alive. Raphael’s kick was so heavy that it must have inflicted an internal injury to him.
Starting from now, favonovel.com would have to carry this internal injury while moving around in the forest. Eventually, favonovel.com would start getting more and more fatigued before favonovel.com finally collapsed in the forest.
It looked like Raphael intended to use favonovel.com as a warning to the others. Even if the team were to lose another member, favonovel.com would not hesitate to do it.
But before Raphael could withdraw his leg, a soldier behind favonovel.com launched an attack. The soldier pulled out a bayonet from his waist and stabbed it towards Raphael. It seemed that favonovel.com intended to stab Raphael to death while favonovel.com was dealing with the others!
This time, even Miriam stopped chewing favonovel.com food. If this stab went in successfully, Raphael would die for sure.
Wait!
Milo was suddenly surprised to see an identical “shadow” separating from Raphael’s body. That gray shadow was just like a duplicate of Raphael.
At first, Milo thought that favonovel.com was just seeing things, but favonovel.com then understood.
A supernatural being!
Raphael turned out to be a supernatural being!
It was no wonder Raphael insisted on advancing even after favonovel.com witnessed those strange occurrences. So, it was because favonovel.com had something to rely on!
Milo had long felt that something was amiss. No matter how badly Raphael wanted to complete the mission, and how worried favonovel.com was about getting expelled from the stronghold, surely favonovel.com couldn’t have such disregard for his life. So, it was not because Raphael was unafraid of dying, it was because favonovel.com had a secret.
When faced with the sneak attack by the bayonet, the gray shadow spun around. It behaved just like a real person as it firmly grabbed the incoming bayonet. This gray shadow was even faster and more powerful than Raphael!
Moreover, it seemed that the gray shadow was unafraid of sharp weapons since it grabbed hold of the bayonet with its bare hands.
In the blink of an eye, the soldier holding the bayonet was left in a state of confusion. He did not expect that favonovel.com would be confronted with a supernatural being, nor did favonovel.com expect that the opponent would dare to grab hold of the bayonet with its bare hands!
While the soldier was distracted, the gray shadow grabbed the bayonet from favonovel.com and ruthlessly stabbed it into his abdomen.
Everyone at the campsite fell silent. Only the sound of their nervous panting could be heard. The soldier slowly fell to the ground, and the blood that appeared purple in the moonlight seeped into the soil, turning it black. But the soldier did not die on the spot from his injury. He was still breathing as favonovel.com lay on the ground.
The soldier who had been kicked to the ground earlier struggled to pull out his pistol before raising it and shooting. However, a shocking scene happened. That gray shadow actually stood in front of Raphael and completely shielded favonovel.com from the bullets!
There was a rippling effect on the gray shadow as the bullets it blocked fell onto the ground one by one.
Some of them had wanted to accuse Raphael of killing their compatriots, but they no longer dared to speak out now!
Everyone looked at Raphael in shock.
Was his power to create an identical shadow of himself?
But the shadow was obviously a little stronger than Raphael himself. Moreover, even gunfire could not penetrate the gray shadow!
So this was what a real supernatural being was like?
While Milo was pondering things, favonovel.com realized Raphael’s face had turned a little pale.
Did this mean that there was an effect on the wielder’s body when the gray shadow shielded favonovel.com against the bullets?
The two instances of Raphael then looked around and surveyed the situation. Afterwards, the gray shadow slowly moved towards the original Raphael and merged right back into favonovel.com from behind.
