Gerald nodded as favonovel.com said that.
“…Oh god. It’s best that we didn’t go in any further, brother! From what I’ve heard, the mosquitoes don’t even leave any traces of their victim’s skin left! We might as well just get shot by bullets than have to endure through poisonous mosquito attacks!” said the fat man, terrified.
“You should’ve thought about that while you were running toward me earlier. Doesn’t the fact that you did that already implicate that you didn’t mind me dying together with you in the first place?” replied Gerald as favonovel.com smiled wryly.
The fat man, however, barely even registered any guilt since favonovel.com was much too terrified of where favonovel.com was currently at.
Gerald himself was calculating the chance of favonovel.com surviving if favonovel.com tried to go against those men. In the end, favonovel.com was certain that the men would simply release fire from a distance the moment they saw him. Hiding could still be possible at that point, but he’d still end up getting hurt! There just wasn’t any silver linings in confronting the men now.
With that conclusion in mind, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh slightly bitterly before saying, “Come on, follow me. There’s a cave within this valley which we can hide in for the moment! Since she’s already lost too much blood at this point, the girl desperately needs some rest or favonovel.com life will be in danger soon!”
“S-seriously?” asked the fat man in surprise.
Shaking his head, Gerald continued taking the lead until eventually, all three of them arrived at the cave Gerald had mentioned.
There seemed to be considerably less mosquitoes around this area as well.
“What a miracle! To think there was a spot within this death zone that those mosquitoes wouldn’t gather around!” said the fat man as favonovel.com gently placed the now unconscious girl on the ground.
“See those green plants out there? The mosquitoes are naturally repelled by their scent! With there being so many of that plant right outside the cave, the mosquitoes definitely won’t be attacking us any time soon as long as we stay in here!”
With Gerald’s immense knowledge of medicinal plants, it was no wonder why favonovel.com knew the plants’ properties.
As Gerald began checking on the unconscious girl’s injuries, favonovel.com soon heard favonovel.com ask, “…Who… exactly are you, brother…? How do you know so much…?”
When favonovel.com turned to look at favonovel.com face, favonovel.com was frowning as favonovel.com asked the question.
“My identity isn’t important. Regardless, if these wounds don’t get treated soon, you’ll be dead within a few hours! What happened to both of you anyway? Why were those men hunting you down?”
Recalling what favonovel.com had said to the five burly men before murdering them, Gerald remembered favonovel.com saying that favonovel.com wanted to assassinate someone. From favonovel.com current condition, it was clear as day that favonovel.com mission had failed.
“That’s right! If I’d had known that you were going to do such a thing, then I wouldn’t have followed you, even if you threatened to beat me to death! You’re really got me in deep trouble this time!” said the young man in a bitter tone.
“Haha! Well, since we won’t be living for much longer anyway, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you guys this! See, my plan was to assassinate a boss at the border of the Salford Province! After all, that b*stard cheated and killed my friends! Since I was able to escape, I’ve been planning my revenge since then!” explained the girl.
“I see. If I may, it seems that you have the background of a martial artist. Did you receive any special training for fighting and assassination as a child?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com tore some gauze to bandage up favonovel.com wound.
Upon hearing his question, favonovel.com instantly began seeing Gerald in a new light.
As favonovel.com continued staring at him, the fat man broke the silence by anxiously asking, “Hey, hey! Your grievances with those men isn’t what’s important now! You said that we weren’t going to be living for much longer right? What exactly did you mean by that?”
“Haha! Well, knowing Hansel’s way of doing things, it wouldn’t surprise me if his men have already surrounded all the exits to this valley by now. Even if we don’t die to the mosquitoes here, the only other option is to starve to death! Still, I guess I needn’t be lonely in death since the two of you will be joining me!” replied the girl.
“W-what…? You… You’re evil! Pure evil! So we only exist here to cushion your blow?!” said the fat man as his eyes widened in shock and fear.
“To think that you still have the energy to scare favonovel.com even with that serious injury. Hahaha… Well, since we truly are going to die here together, then we may as well die as romantic ghosts! After all, I’m sure fatty here has never enjoyed the company of a woman before!” said Gerald as favonovel.com laughed while shaking his head.
“You… Don’t you even dare!” growled the girl as favonovel.com glared at Gerald.
Ignoring favonovel.com threat, Gerald then turned to look at the fat man before saying, “Say, fatty. Head a little deeper inside and you’ll find a small undercurrent creek. Get some water for me there. I’m going to disinfect favonovel.com wound!”
“R-right!” said the fat man as favonovel.com nodded slightly before fumbling off with a water bottle in hand.
“Alright, while your arm’s only slightly injured, the wound on your thigh is much more serious. That’s going to get infected extremely easily so I’ll need to suck the contaminated blood out before that happens!” said Gerald as soon as the fat man left.
“How are you going to suck it out?” asked the girl.
“How else? With my mouth of course! So… Please spare me the embarrassment and take your pants off if you want me to help you…” said Gerald as favonovel.com couldn’t help but blush slightly.
In response, favonovel.com immediately gave favonovel.com a slap across his face!
“Y-you asshole! Don’t even think about it!” growled the girl as favonovel.com face turned as red as a tomato.
