Raydon spent some time moving from the area of the failed test subjects to the center before the factory started to appear in front of his eyes.
'They must have already sent men to investigate the noise in the area. Why couldn't I find anyone? '
He had wandered around for a while, looking to see if anyone from the factory had been sent to investigate the sound. But to his surprise, he hasn't been able to find anyone.
'They simply don't care? '
Raydon paused, placed his hand on his chin, and thought. There was a good chance that they were unconcerned. They might have believed that the weakened fallen soldiers had already killed anyone who entered the area.
He sighed and remarked, "I could lessen their numbers with this approach, but whatever. ''
He planned to wait for people to leave the factory and kill them as they traveled. He was especially interested in the black-clad man who was always standing next to Herman. If it was at all possible, he wanted to keep it away from Herman.
After taking everything in, Raydon was planning his next attack on the factory when he saw the car headlights leaving the factory door.
''At last, they made the decision to investigate. '' He began to move after saying this with a grin on his face.
He took his crossbow from his dimensional storage and aimed it at the wheel of the black van speeding down the empty road.
—
''Hey, I'm starting to get nervous.'' One of the men in the vehicle leaned over and whispered to the man beside him, his gaze fixed on the burly man sitting across from him.
''Shh, focus on the task as we always do.'' The man motioned to his friend to be quiet with his hand.
Normally, the missions they went on were always in slums, and they could easily collect and bring homeless subjects for Herman, but this time they were going to that monster-filled place they had always been afraid to go.
They also had one of those monsters, the burly man, as their leader this time, not to mention the black-clad person currently sitting next to him.
''Hey, he's not going to use us as test subjects one day and turn us into these monsters, is he? '' The man gulped and inquired once more.
The man, hearing what his friend had said, hastily looked at the burly man, who was sitting still, and said with relief when he realized he hadn't heard what they were talking about, ''I told you to be quiet; do you want to cause us trouble? ''
''But… ''
''Just stop talking and concentrate on the mi…''
*Pow*
''What was that?!''
''Oh shit, the van went off the road.''
The passengers inside yelled in shock as they heard a popping sound coming from the car and watched as it lost control and left the road.
The burly man's voice could then be heard as the car came to a complete stop after briefly skidding on the dirt road.
"What the heck is wrong? ''
''I'm not sure, but I think the tire blew. I'm checking right away. '' The driver jumped out of the van and started to inspect it.
The man discovered the flat wheel while checking the van's wheels, and he shouted in shock when he noticed that the wheel had an arrow on it.
''What the…? There is an arrow on the… ''
*Put*
As the man called into the car to explain the reason for the incident another arrow pierced the back of his head, and he collapsed to the ground.
''Ambush!!! ''
One of the men inside the van grabbed his gun and yelled when he saw this.
''It looks like our targets are still alive; go out and bring them,'' the burly man said calmly as if sending them to buy some candies.
'Go out and bring them? Is he aware that we are being ambushed right now? ' As the men stared with quizzical expressions at the burly man, wondering if he was stupid, he spoke again.
''Why are you still waiting? Hurry up. '' He apparently didn't intend to go himself, as he insisted to his men yet again.
The men looked at the burly man's horrifying face, which rendered them speechless with fear, and they cautiously started to exit the van.
It wouldn't have made a difference if they stayed in the vehicle; after all, if the enemy had heavy weapons, even an armored van wouldn't have protected them.
The burly man watched the men step out of the car cautiously and slowly, and spoke to the black-clad person seated next to him, maintaining a serious expression on his face.
''I work with idiots all the time these days; they can't even complete a task without me. '' He patiently waited for the black-clad person to respond, but when it did not, he turned his head, and kept waiting.
''Aghhh…''
''Watch out, the enemy is attacking with arrows.''
''Gaagghhh… ''
...
While the men outside died one by one, the burly man turned to the black-clad person again and said. ''It sounds like they're fighting outside; I wonder if they've finished the job? ''
When he didn't receive a response after another prolonged period of staring, he turned his head once more and resumed waiting.
''Goaghhg… ''
''Don't stick your heads out; the enemy has godlike archery. Did anyone bring a grenade?'''
''I've got a few. ''
''Good throw to that direction, but be careful. ''
''Okay… Gaaghggh.''
*Booom*
...
The burly man turned back to the black-clad person and asked again. ''There are a lot of sounds coming from outside. Should I go take a look? ''
He turned his head and waited once more after receiving no response to his question.
Meanwhile, the last man collapsed to the ground after being struck in the head with an arrow.
After a moment of silence, he turned his head again, ''It seems like the sounds have stopped. Do you think they captured them all? ''
The burly man inquired but was met with silence, yet again.
