Chapter 96 - The Ant Colony

The arrangements were finished one day later. And two more fresh recruits were added to their team. Mr. Craig Dawson and Mr. James Lockwood were now prepared to go with their group.

Mr. James is conversing with Zack in the meantime.

"Be careful, don't go too far into the Black Forests."

Uncle James gave me some advice. I nodded when I heard that. Outside the house, I noticed five people waiting. It appears to be a team mission. I felt more at ease after realizing that Uncle James is a powerful man. I don't believe any of the Black Forest's Class Level Monsters pose a threat to him.

As a result, I was unconcerned. We exchanged a few words. They went to the Mission a few minutes later.

It's also an important day for me. Mr. Craig Dawson has arranged for someone to come here soon. In the meantime, I began reading an article on the internet.

Outside, I soon heard a noise. I proceeded to open the door after hearing that. I noticed a lady who got out of her four-wheeler and walked over to my house. As soon as she noticed me. She took a step towards me.

She asked, pointing her finger at me, "Are you, Zack Lockwood?"

For a little while, I did not respond. Because I was a little perplexed. She appeared to be my age. "How old are you?" I blurted out without thinking it.

The lady was taken aback. She squinted her eyes at him. "Hello, my name is Tracy Stevens, and I'm 14 years old. It's been two years," she stated. I've been a Seed Candidate since I was hired." Zack's eyes glinted with surprise when he heard that.

She is almost three years my senior. "You're Zack, right?" she asked. I forgot to introduce myself after hearing it. I reasoned with myself. Then I said, "Hello, my name is Zack Lockwood, and I'm ten and a half years old." I didn't go into any further detail.

It's pointless. But deep down in my heart, I'm not so sure. Yet, she informed me right away. That makes me happy

Hearing Zack's response. Ms. Tracy added, "It's becoming late, and I've been instructed to drive you to a certain location."

When I heard it, I nodded and told her to hold on a moment. Before that, I need to reclaim my backpack. I got into the four-wheeler a few minutes later. Crazy things race through my mind as she drives. She isn't that much older than I am. She was presumably aware of a few facts about the academy.

But I'm not sure. It's fine to inquire. Mr. Craig Dawson has arranged for this individual. It wouldn't be good if I unintentionally revealed any secrets to her. As a result, I'm pondering it.

Ms. Tracy, on the other hand, is behind the wheel. She didn't want to talk about anything. She kept her mouth shut. The driveway was the only thing that kept her attention. I checked my sci-fi, watch as time passed. One hour has passed.

Despite this, we were unable to approach the place. I don't have access to a map of this area. Uncle James only handed me the map of the black tree monster.

So I approached her and asked her. "How long will it take to get to that location?" I inquired. "It will take one more hour, perhaps not more than that," she replied. Ms. Tracy didn't offer anything else to the conversation. I shook my head in response.

Uncle James said earlier that, their objective will take a few days to complete. So, I believe she will accompany me until then.

She will drop me off and then pick me up at the location every day. In the days ahead, I believe. She'll be more forthcoming. I'll be able to receive some answers then. I decided to wait till then. It's not a smart idea for me to start the conversation.

After an hour had passed, we arrived at our destination.

The vehicle then came to a complete stop. As I stepped out of the car. "So, here it is," Ms. Tracy said. "Mr. Craig Dawson has requested that I remind you of something. To stay away from the ant colony's location. All right, then, I'll take my leave," she continued.

"In the evening, I'll meet you. Don't forget to wait in this exact location." She added.

She then transferred some information about this location's map. The map has been altered. This is not a comprehensive map of the area. It appears that they have withheld some information from me on purpose. Well, I understand; all I need is the Pseudo Monster area.

She then provided her contact information. To contact her in the event of an emergency. She then walked away after stating that. I didn't get a chance to speak with her. With that in mind, I shook my head and began looking over the map. As a result, they cautioned me not to approach the Ant colony.

However, I'm staring at the map's red-marked area. A few blue dots and a few red dots were present. The red dots indicated the location of a Class level Monster. Pseudo Monster, I suppose, is represented by a blue dot.

I moved towards the red mark after double-checking that. It's not that far away. It will probably take me twenty minutes to get to the location.

I'm labeling the region for identification as I go. Despite this, I began to use a sci-fi, watch to track my movements. However, I believe it is beneficial to have physical identification. I'll feel doubly secure.

Time passed, and I arrived at my destination. I was perplexed by the scene in front of me. My residence was the same size as the ant colonies. It reminds me of a sand pyramid. I can see how that may happen.

What is at the very top? I never imagined VELARIYUZ ANT MONSTER living in such a spot. Because I had a different idea in my head. There were several Ant Colonies within a short radius of each other.

The monster must be twice as big as I had thought. I didn't want to disturb anyone. Because it will send a signal to the colonies. The Monsters will then bite my head off. I ran to the nearest safe haven. I'm keeping an eye on the situation.

I'd like to know how many colonies there are in this area. As time passed, I kept a rough tally.. "More than fifty colonies," In my head, I made a remark.
