55 Breakfast with new companions (1/2)

”Good morning Ashok.” A sweet voice greets me as I slowly open my eyes and look at the face of Upma who was gently shaking me with a smile in her face. I groggily rubbed my eyes and mumbled back a good morning as I looked around and found Jasvinder sitting near the window where he kept on watch for potential enemies.

I has the first shift, Upma was the second one and Jasvinder had the last one. Jasvinder glances at me with his indifferent expression before he went back to looking outside in the distant horizon where the first hints of day break had started to show up.

I took a deep breath and the smell of noodles wafted to my senses and I let out a pleasant groan. I could get used to such having breakfast made for me everyday.

'Good morning Lily.' I muttered in my mind and got a enthusiastic greeting back in return. And with that, the last vestiges of sleepiness went away from within me.

I folded the sleeping gear (that's right, I have a sleeping gear) and kept it inside the spatial ring, which is starting to get cramped by now.

A 1 cubic meter space will only get you so far.

With all the food and water supplies along with the guns and ammunitions, it was high time the spatial ring got cramped.

It's time to buy a second spatial ring and upgrade this one.

I walked over to where Jasvinder and took a good look outside in the small town that we stumbled into last night. Strangely and to our immense relief, the town was already empty and destruction of nearly all of the houses made us realize that a huge fight had occurred in here.

Thankfully, a few houses were still in livable conditions, thus allowing us to find accommodations for the the night. Otherwise I would have to sleep on top of a mobile tower once again.

Not that I was against sleeping on top of it once again. Sleeping in such heights was still a novel experience for me and gave me a thrill that was hard to put into words.

Plus, no one can sneak into you from behind if you're sleeping in such a high place.

”Good morning Jasvinder.” I mumbled as I looked everywhere with my 'Advanced Vision' skill and made sure that there was not disturbance in the area.

”Hmm…” Jasvinder grunted with a small nod and kept of looking outside. Anyone who didn't know him would think that he was being rude but living with him for the short amount of time made me realize that this was just his personality. A highly anti-social guy. That's who Jasvinder was.

The only time his stoic and indifferent mask would fall would be when he's near Upma. I glanced at Upma and wondered what she saw in him.
