Chapter 17: Chuck’s Calculations

Now that he had calculated the time they had left, it was likely that the capture team had only gone for less than five days.

If they travelled back and forth were included, they had not captured the dinosaur at all. It was even possible that they had not reached Mount Roman at all.

Logically speaking, there should not have been any danger along the way if the guns in those people’s hands had worked on the dinosaur.

After all, they were people from the city. They wouldn’t make such a mistake.

Haman stood at the entrance of the pharmacy, watching the returning capture team.

The refugees in the town came out from their houses one after another, touching and observing.

They were already curious about these people from the city. Now, they were even more curious about what had happened to these people.

When the capture team left, there were still seventeen people, and there were eighteen along with a guide. But now, there were only eight people left.

“When they came to town, they were still fair and clean without a beard on their faces. Now, they’re the same as us,” Haman sighed.

Although Haman’s life had improved a lot in the past few years, it was still impossible for him to take a bath.

Everyone had a limited amount of water each day. It was only enough for cooking and drinking.

In terms of water consumption, everyone was treated equally in Azure Dragon City.

Therefore, things like taking a bath had no fate with Haman and the others.

The only chance was about luck. If it was not acid rain, they could take a bath.

As for whether it could be washed clean?

Forget it!

It rained once a month in the wilderness, and there was a high possibility that it was acid rain.

Now, the tanned Haman was quite happy to see these people become like him.

There were many holes in that guy’s clothes. Still, after careful observation, Haman found that he looked as embarrassed as the others.

But he was light in his steps.

From this point alone, this guy was much stronger than others.

This was within Haman’s expectations. After all, when this short guy looked at Haman, he felt like a wild beast was staring at him.

The short guy seemed to be annoyed by the attention of the refugees, then he ordered, “Hurry up and find the boss of the grocery store. Don’t let these refugees look at us like monkeys.”

After receiving the order, the people with guns pointed their dark muzzles at the surrounding refugees. They said fiercely, “Go back to your pigsty.”

When the refugees saw that they seemed to be a little angry from embarrassment, they immediately hid back.

The noise in the market town gradually died down. Everyone only dared to hide in the caves or houses and whisper.

If they felt that it was enough to chat with the family, they could still go next door. After all, a curtain was not soundproof.

Haman stood at the entrance of the pharmacy and watched. After all, the pharmacy could not be closed.

He then saw the eight people heading in the direction of the grocery store.

They were probably going to look for Chuck to settle the score. After all, the guide was recommended by Chuck.

Now, not only did the guide not take them to the place, but he even left himself outside.

Perhaps the guide had done something that caused them to return in such a sorry state.

Haman saw the group of people patting on the door of Chuck’s grocery store. But Chuck slowly opened the door from the inside, looking very calm.

Haman had been worried about Chuck, but seeing how calm he was, he felt he did not have to worry about him anymore.

Now, a group of people was gathered at the entrance of the grocery store. One of them with a gun asked, “What kind of guide did you find for us?”

Chuck asked curiously, “What’s wrong with the guide?”

Chuck was curious. Logically speaking, he should be a senior hunter and wouldn’t make those low-level mistakes. What exactly did these people encounter?

“What else?” The guy with the gun was furious. “We haven’t even walked out for a day, and he had brought us to the nest of a group of dinosaurs.”

“We spent three days but still couldn’t find the way to Mount Roman!”

The market town in Mount Roman wasn’t far, probably less than 50 kilometres away.

However, because dinosaurs had occupied the market town for a long time, the original road surface had been in disrepair for a long time, so there was no way.

Moreover, there were many dangers on the road, so they took three days to get there.

However, there was still a way to get to Mount Roman.

As long as they followed the dinosaurs’ route to fetch water, they would be able to find their way quickly.

Therefore, the guide was unable to lead the capture team to find the route.

“And then? Where is he?” Chuck asked in a daze.

The other person with a gun growled.

“He disappeared before he could find the route. As a hunter, he didn’t even know when the dinosaurs were moving!”

“He was trampled to death by the dinosaurs when he left early in the morning.”

“When we found him, he was already surrounded by flies.”

“And there were so many dinosaurs on the road he took us on. We almost couldn’t be back.”

Haman was stunned when he heard that. “No, something must be wrong!”

He had been to Mount Roman before, and the dinosaurs there were no different. There were indeed the fewest dinosaurs in the morning.

However, it was usual since there were so many dinosaurs. After all, it was the way for the dinosaurs to get water.

The guide probably had saved the best to the last. As long as no one led the dinosaurs, it was impossible to get their way out of that place.

At least, Haman now felt that he was not very good.

It seemed that this group of people was quite capable since they could bring eight people back.

Chuck leaned against the door frame. “Oh, so that’s how it is. However, I may not have time to help you find a guide these days. I have to help boss with something.”

At this time, Chuck’ was not as subservient as he was at the beginning. He directly refused them.

Haman knew who the boss Pulis was.

Most of the goods in Chuck’s grocery store were taken from him.

Chuck and Pulis had no relationship. He only said this to tell them that he was working for Pulis.

The men with guns were all stunned. Even the short man frowned.

They didn’t expect that the person they wanted to deal with was boss Pulis.

“Captain, look.” A man with a gun pointed at Haman from afar and said, “It’s the man with a mental illness.”

The short man followed the man’s finger and saw Haman.

He then turned around and asked Chuck, “Is that the only one who can take us to Mount Roman?”

Chuck finally saw Haman standing in front of the pharmacy. He was a little flustered.

The last time he recommended Haman, it was partly because of Haman.

After all, if he did well this time, he might get some rewards from the people in the city.

As for danger?

It was dangerous to survive in this wilderness. If Chuck wanted benefits, everyone had to risk their lives!

But now, it was different. Haman had become a mutant. As long as there were no accidents, Chuck would become a person from the city.

What was an accident?

Wasn’t it an accident now?
