BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 Little Help
"I got that information from a reliable source," said Clyde.
"What source is that?" Rodney asked with sparkling eyes.
Whatever the source of all Clyde\'s knowledge, if he could find even a little bit of it, it would be a great help.
Clyde could be this strong because of the resources he got.
A source that seemed to come from a place untouched by this world.
Rodney and his three fellow Regressors are people who have gone back to the past many times. However, they couldn\'t be as strong as Clyde.
So the place where Clyde got the information must have been something extraordinary.
However, their hopes and guesses could not be further from reality.
Clyde just going to say that he got information about a creature named Wendigo from just reading fiction books.
"Have you never read a book?" Clyde asked back.
"No. For me it\'s so boring," Reed said.
Clyde snorted. "That\'s where you went wrong. I got information about the Wendigo just from reading books."
The Regressors and Asqa looked a little surprised. Even so, Sonya seems calm because she is also a nerd.
"I also enjoy reading books. How do you think I can survive in this apocalypse and stay calm when monsters start to appear?" Sonya answered.
"All this happened in the book?!" Asqa looked shocked.
Sonya nodded with a proud expression on her face.
"You\'re kidding," Eric said. "There\'s no way there is the book that predicts all this chaos."
"It\'s true," said Clyde. "Well, not actually true. All the events in this apocalypse are not one hundred percent the same as what I read. But they are similar."
"The sudden appearance of Magic, the monsters that evolve from Magic, and the Windows that appear before your eyes just like in those video games. It\'s all been written in online novels," Clyde continued. \'Except something called Regressors.\'
Asqa bit her lower lip. Feelings of regret came over her who had never read a book and was only busy playing with her fake friends.
"Hah..." There was a sigh from Rodney. "It seems that people who have read such literature have a better chance of surviving this apocalypse."
"Not really," Sonya said. "Luck is still the determining factor of our life and death."
Hearing Sonya\'s words, Clyde remembered the game he played before the apocalypse happened.
A message appears from the developer asking whether he wants to go through the apocalypse the easy or hard way.
Of all the humans, Clyde wasn\'t sure if he was the only one who got the message.
However, the people who benefited from this [Easy-Mode] weren\'t many.
\'The luck factor, huh.\'
Clyde felt that it was indeed something that had made him survive until now. Moreover, he could obtain this much power because of that.
"Since we already know that the organizers of this apocalypse will add to our troubles, the best course of action is to hide and stay out of trouble," Clyde said. "What do you think?"
"So we don\'t need to look for Exp?"
Clyde seemed to think for a few moments before answering.
"We\'ll take a look at the situation first. Then we can decide whether to fight the Wendigo or not."
Everyone seemed to agree with his words. There was still a possibility that the difficulty would return to how it was before.
The sun was getting lower. Dusk ushered it into a night that was much quieter today.
Clyde came out of the motel as night fell. He had already told the rest of the group that he was going somewhere. But Clyde didn\'t say where.
Clyde conveys a message to his group members that if they want to take the Night Quest, it\'s up to them.
But they have to think things over carefully before making a decision. When they realized that the difficulty level could be increased.
Clyde walked in the middle of a quiet street.
Abandoned buildings still give off their light because the power still existed.
This situation is very different compared to before the apocalypse came.
The city is always busy with people passing by who are preoccupied with the world.
People who have forgotten how fragile their lives really are.
Until finally the apocalypse happened and they realized that everything they had been chasing and cherishing disappeared from their grasp.
Clyde jumped on top of the building until he finally got to a place high enough to look around.
"Where are they..."
After a long while spreading his eyes around, Clyde finally found something he was looking for.
Five people were sitting around a bonfire.
Clyde jumps over the building towards them.
The five of them immediately stood up and put their weapons on alert.
"Who is there?!" Leon asked in a threatening tone.
Clyde landed before them.
"It\'s me," Clyde said. "Don\'t worry. I don\'t want to fight."
The five of them immediately lowered their weapons.
"What do you need here?" Leon asked again.
"I wanted to give you some information about what\'s going to happen tomorrow," Clyde replied.
They were confused.
"Why did you do that? What\'s in it for you?" Wiley asked.
Clyde has a reason why he even bothered to come here and give them that information.
Maybe he just felt sorry for them. But he couldn\'t say that as the reason because it could hurt their pride.
Even though he felt pity, he still couldn\'t accept them into the group for obvious reasons.
Clyde tries to overcome his guilt by giving them some useful information.
"No real reason," Clyde replied. "So are you going to listen or not?"
"Of course, we will!" Wiley answered enthusiastically.
Clyde then told them about what would happen tomorrow.
They all had worried and scared faces. Especially that young girl named Lola.
She seems more fragile than the others in her group.
"That\'s it."
Clyde prepares to jump up the building again.
"Wait!" Leon stopped him. "Thanks."
"Don\'t thank me. How you survive, entirely depends on your ability."
After saying that, he immediately jumped back on top of the building and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
